PINCH0T CHALLENGES.
Makes Statement Which Is Likely to
Stir Up Ballinger-Pinchot Dispute.
Washington, Dec. 15. Practically
challenging congress to take up the re
port of the special committee which
investigated Secretary of the Interior
IJalllnger and declaring that congress
cannot avoid passing on the reports of
tho committee, Glfford Plnchot, the
deposed chief forester, has come out
In a statement likely to nttract much
attention at the capltol and stir up the
embers of the Ralllnger-Pinchot fire.
Mr. Plnchot says:
"Of course the report of the majority
In favor of Mr. Halltnger has excited
little interest and, less surprise. From
the beginning It was known what the
tenor of the report would be. The
stand pal majority did only what was
expected of them. It takes vastly
more moral courage to assume tho re
Hponslbllily of deciding against a man
In high place and with powerful
friends than to decide for him. The
whitewash of Senator I.orimer is a
good example."
MAY PLEAD INSANITY.
Mrs. Schenk's Attorneys Indicate Such
a Defense.
Wheeling. W. Va., Dec. 15.-That in
sanity will be the defense of Laura
Farnsworth Schcnk when she is placed
on trlnl for the attempted murder of
her wealthy husband, John 0. Schcnk,
by the administration of poison In his
food, drink and medicine has been in
dicated in ailidavlts tiled by her law
yers In support of their motion for a
postponement of the trial. After lis
tening to, the arguments of (he attor
neys Judge Jordan granted a contln
uinco of the trial, untl Jan. 0.
It Is expectqd that the defense will
attempt to prove that the grandmother
of the defendant on the paternal side
was Insane and died Insane, "that her
father Is Insane, that her sister Lucy
and her sister Viola are Insane and
that her great-grandmother on her fa
ther's side was insane.
WANTS SHOOTING FORGOTTEN.

T Is iv lltlli' dlllleult for the mind
not given to contemplation of the
problem of abolishing war, which
has so much Interested Andrew
Carnegie, to see jnst how $500,000 a
year Income from his 510,000,000 peace
i endowment fund can bo speiH ndvnh
! tngoously in the line of work laid out.
i The Impression, la that tho fund Is
bound to grow rapidly niirt steadily,
( and there is not much disposition in
congress' to provide a charter for such
t n fund when there arc no more llm
, Itatlons upon Its use than In Mr. Car
negie's deed of gift.
No definite plans for the employ
ment of the resources of the founda
tion have been formulated by Mr. Car
negie, and as far, as the trustees are
concerned few of thetn bnVo thought
of the matter sulllclontly to bo pre
pared with any specific Ideas.
Tames llrown Scott, former solicitor
of the state department, the secretary
of the foundation who has devoted a
great deal of time and study to ways
and metlmdo of promoting Internation
al peace, thinks that the work of the
foundation would be first to make n
scientific study 4in the effort to find
the method of eradicating the cause of
war." He also states that there Is nc
Intention oh the part of the trustees of
"making a wordy war on war." They
want to do something practical
The only one of the trustees who
hns In mind a definite line of proce
dure Is Oscut S. Straus, ex-secretary of
commerce and labor and ambassador to
Turkey. Mr. Straus has also devoted
much time to the problem of secur
lug International peace and has writ

ten In advocacy of the plan of forbid
ding subscriptions to war loans for
foreign nations.
"There Is one decidedly practical
Hue of actlpn which may be entered
upon at once," said Mr. Straus. "It
Is to make a scientific study of the
cost of war. This has never been
done, at least In such fashion that
the result was authoritative and prac
tical. I mean a study that will show
the economic effect of war ,not only
upon the countries engaged In any
particular war, but upon other coun
tries as well. It will be found, I am
sure, that war. always costs very much
more than It product.1 by way of bene
lit, even to the victorious nation,
'Tor instance, we are spending to
day two-thirds, of our revenue on ac
count pf wars past or to come. Our
expenditures for this account alone
have been und aro enormous, and
where Is the return? AVhat Is the
value of that return If there Is anyV
These are questions that may be de
termined now in practical fashion for
the tlrst time. A general balance sheet
with war may be shown to the world.
The effect of It Is certain to be pro
found, for It can be demonstrated to
overy nntlou that no matter what the
Object for which war Is made It might
be accomplished in some better and
more economic way."
Calling, attention to the last great
war, that between Jnpan and Russia,
Mr. Straus said that another practical
matter to which the Carnegie founda
tion might turn its attention would bo
tho study of such problems as that
conflict involved. In that case the
great economic problem of thd press
of population In Japan was the under,
lying cause flf greatest potency In the
attitude taken by Japan. The Carne
gie foundation, In the opinion of Mr.
Straus, may well devote its attention
to the study and consideration of ways
and means of avoiding the resort to
war for tVe settlement of such prob
lems, In laying tlio proposition beforo'tho
men he choso ns trustees tho famous
ironmaster said in part:
"Although we no longer cnt our fel

how, mcantlitio, to cat, were prob

Judith's bedside.
To approach some charitable or

the city provides abundantly, but to
ask! And that terrible question that
would come, "Havo you no relatives
to apply to," Rather than that, the
proud Judith would face even worse
deprivation and despair.
Only those reared as had been
Judith Channlng, and then similarly
situated, should judge her and those
other tragic ones who "cannot ask."
Presently Judith was staring at
the paper, as it fascinated. "It
means me!" she murmured.
The little Item read thus:
To Gentlewoman, Alone and In Need.
You are Invited
To be the guest of Mrs. X.,

No names or questions asked.
"I'm so" Judith half rose "so
desperately hungry!"
Judith went, and two hundred
others wont, of the same class,

darned and renewed beyond recogni

whose'sympathotlc imagination had
fathomed their need. Unknown they
arrived and unknown went away, with
the added strength to face life lent
by "a square meal."
"I'd forgotten what food real
food Is like." Judith walked br'ik

dinner wholly; it's the knowledge
that some one knows about us, that
we can't ask! Heaven bless Mrs.

"I'll do it!" Judith's pace had
grown even brisker, and sho felt tho
pleasant bodily thrill accompanying
clear, sharp resolution. She would

An hour later Judith emerged
from 17 Place engaged. She

"I liked your letter," the charming
woman had said, "but thoro were sev

laughing, "said 'by letter only.' Vou
