Crane's Visit
to Ballinger in
Limelight
Inquirers at Summer White House
About Incident Are Eeferred to '
Bay SUte Senator.
DHVERLY, Mas.,, Aug. I No statement
wa forthcoming from'offlclal quarters here
today regarding the meeting between Sen
ator Wlnthrop Murray Crane and Secre
tary of the Interior liallmger at Minne
apolis yesterday. When it was suggested
to the White House officers that Senator
Crane may have felt called on. In order
to bring about party harmony, to request
the secretary of the Interior to resign, thd
only answer was that Henator Crane would
have to be asked about thut phawe of the
matter.
When Konator Crane came to see Presi
dent Taft last Friday an attempt was
made to keep his visit secret. Secretary
Norton was plainly worried when he found
that Henator Crane's presence had been
discovered. The senator himself had made
secrecy a condition of hi coming.
It la known that Senator Crane wan sent
for to go on an Important mission for the
president to Seattle.
The meeting with Secretary Bollinger at
Minneapolis suggests a modification of the
original plans and Justifies the announce
ment which followed the Interview here
that Senator Crane "might not go ail the
way to the coast."
Secretary Norton admitted today there
was more to Senator Crane's mission than
had appeared In the newspapers. It was
said that Mr. Crane's visit to the presi
dent was Initiated more by certain party
leader. Including the secretary to the pres
ident, than by President Taft himself.
The president has received many letters
suggesting that Secretary Balllnger, be
oause of attacks made on him, was proving
an embarrassment in the making of plans
for tha coming congressional campaign.
Mr. Taft having stood by Secretary Bal
llnger through all his troubles, and still
believing in him, ha refused to heed these
complaints.
Secretary Balllnger remains to be reck
onedwith, however. He has repeatedly
declared that he would not resign, and
among his friends there is a strong belief
that he wlU not resign unless directly asked
to do so by the president This, It Is de
clared here, the president will not do.

since his ' arraignment yesterday which
might help the police in solving th mys

Unless present algn faO they will n

"Crlppen Is no fool,' said Inspector Dow,
and no one questioned hi opinion.
Accordingly it Is generally believed that
the police are resting their hope on Mlsa
Leneve. If ah does not possess the key
to the mystery they think she can at
least aid them materially In a recon
struction of tli clroumstanoe leading up
to the disappearance of Bell Elmore. It
is known that Mrs. Crlppen was jealous

Hitchcock Ha Ills Worry.
Gilbert M. Hitchcock I about to realise

put himself on record a opposed to tha
county option straddl and to tha endorse
ment of the 8 o'clock closing law. Thl
wa not thought to be an Indication of a
break between Hitchcock and Bhallen
berger. Bu now come Metcalfe, Bryan'

clares hi upport for Shallenberger. The
governor has not publloly announced his
Intention of supporting Metcalfe, but that

He has no more authority to take such tes

braska. ' The case ts in the hands of th
supreme oourt, and the tertlmony will be
taken by that body or by some properly
