Secretary" Ballinger « renewed hrs request that ne be relieved at a date suiting the president’a convenience. but immediately If posable Today Preaident Taft, tn a letter, formally accepted the rem gnat ton. The cirespondence between the presi dent and the secretary la not voluminous, but displays beyond question the conti dt-ace which Mr. Taft has reposed in Mr. Ballinger throughout the long siege and the indignation with which he has viewed the sona i mad -official integrtti , .

TfIOOPS SENT TO TEXAS FDR MANEUVER WORK Within Next Five Days One- Fourth of Entire Army Will Be Mobilized CBv Associated Fraas.) WASHINGTON, March 7.—Mysterious messages dispatched from tne war de partment last night, ordering 20,000 troops to Texas and a fleet of war vessels to waters of the Lone Star state, it de veloped today, provide for the most se vere test of American army machinery ever attempted outside of times of war. ( Following tlie cabinet meeting at the White House today a statement was is sued declaring that the movement of troops to Texas and to the border of Mexico in California, is solely for the purpose of maneuvers and for the grain ing of officers and men. The orders flashed from the war de partment last night arianging for an im posing martial demonstration in Texas seemed astounding. Wild rumors flew about in army circles and grew as they traveled. The real meaning of the thing no one attempted to fathom. Army men frankly admitted their lack of knowledge of it. Members of the general staff, the president and the cabinet only, knew the inner significance of the sending of a quarter of the American army to the borders of a neighboring nation. The mysterious maneuvering of the army was explained this morning. It comes as if answer to charges that the land army of the American force of de fense is not prepared for actual war fare and that it Is lacking in all the essentials that go to make up an effective fighting force—a snappy, quick-hitting, rapid-firing organization. Within five days one-fourth the entire army is to be transported from distant posts to Texas. This feat will be a partial—at least—refutation of the accusation that the army is but a snan. Already the units that will go to make up this force are on their way to the big southwest ern state. GEORGIA TROOPS OFF. In the quick movement of the troops from the two Georgia forts is found an intimation as to how the army will an swer the charges against it. Soon after the orders—unexpected commands—were received at Bort Oglethorpe and Fort Mc- Pherson last night, these troops, fully equipped for any duty which might be demanded of them, were on their way. They will reach San Antonio tomorrow. Within five days one-quarter of the en tire United States army will be concen trated in the department of Texas. A fleet of war ships will be assembled oft the coast of that state. All of which is said to be preparatory to maneuvers on a grand scale. The navy is to play its part and a for midable fleet of armored cruisers, sup plemented by auxiliaries for the success ful maintenance of a hostile navy force on the coast of an enemy will take its place off the Texas shore line. These cruisers comprise the present fifth division of the Atlantic fleet now at New York and which are ready for sea. The division comprises the flagship Tennessee, the Montana, North Carolina and Washington, all powerful armored cruisers of 14,500 tons displace ment, under command of Rear /admiral Sydney A. Staunton. The troops at Galveton will hold joint manuevers with the fifth division of the Atlantic fleet, which has been ordered from New York to southern waters. The program "contemplates an attack on Gal veston by the navy. It was said they may be joint maneuvers between the army and navy at Los Angeles, vessels of the Pacific fleet making an attack upon that port 3, 800 MEN TO REPORT. The present total strength of the ar mored cruisers, which will participate in the operations at Galveston is 3,800 men. This number will be augmented by 600 marines, ordered from the at Norfolk, New York, Annapolis and Washington to the United States naval station at Guantanamo, Cuba. The ma rines will embark shortly at Philadelphia on the U. S. S. Dixie. The armored cruiser of the fifth division will go di rectly to Guantanamo from New York, and there its persent personnel and the additional mariens will be assembled. From the Cuba port the .vessels will operate against Galveston in the war game. MICH IGAirfRATN~ROBBERS ARE REPORTED CAUGHT MOBILE, Ala., March B.—W. A.

GERMAN-AMERICAN INSTITUTE, B 838 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Mo- SIOO,OOO SECURITIES ' STOLEN FROM BANKS George Bancroft, Sr., Was Touched for Big Sum While on Way to Vault (By A*»®cUted Freis.) NEW YORK, March 7.—George Ban croft, Sr.,a broker, 80 yeAt old, discover ed Monday that he was robbed last Thursday afternon ot securities worth approximately |IOO,OOO In the vestibule of the Produce Exchange Safety Deposit and storage company. Last Thursday Mr. Bancroft, which has been his habit for 25 years, placed securities worth that' day about SIOO,OOO In a large envelope 10 by 14 square Inches, tied with red tape, and bearing the firm's name in the corner. Alone he walked the 200 feet from his offioe to the Produce exchange, thence down a flight of steps from the street level entrance to the vaults. Just as Mr. Bancroft was about to turn the corner at the end of the corridor into the vaults a tall man came running around the corner and collided with him. The compact threw Mr. Bancroft off his feet, and in falling he dropped the envelope. ENVELOPE NO GOOD. That was the cue for an undersized young man,- who had been leaning against the corridor wall. He stepped up to Mr. Bancroft, assisted him to his feet, and was solicitous to tuck under his arm an envelope. Mr. Bancroft, of course, thought it was the envelope that fell. He went on to deposit It as usual. Today when George Bancroft, Jr., his son. un locked the box he found that the only envelope there contained three old news papers. A clever substitution had been effected when the elder Bancroft was upset x in the vault corridor. The robbers, it is believed, knew on what day and hour it was the firm’s cus tom to deposit its securities. They knew that Mr. Bancroft habitually carried them in an envelope of certain appearance, for they provided themselves in advance with so close a duplicate that it de ceived even the man who of all others should have best known its appearance. The certificates, easily susceptible, in cluded 100 shares of Lehigh Valley, 320 shares of Smelters, 30 shares of New York Central. 200 shares of Brooklyn Rapid Transit, 500 Distillers securities, 60 shares of Steel, common, 10 shares of Atchisort 30 shares of American Beet Sugar, 40 shares of Amalgamated Copper and 100 shares of Missouri Pacific. NO CROOKS ALLOWED. -So bold a robbery in daylight, in the very heart of the city’s financial dis trict shocked the police. Years ago In spector Byrnes had drawn a dead line across the city at Fulton stret, below which he ordered that no ’crook or pick pocket should go, on even an innocent errand, under poln of Instant trouble with the police. Having tried the order, the underworld ultimately obeyed, and for years the fi nancial district was the safest place in the world for a man with large sums of money on his person. Messenger boys ran about the street, their pockets ut terly stuffed with bills of large denomi- | nations.

HMS COMPRESS HID CARBOLTDN PETITIONS Chairman Clements Resumes Testimony in Alabama Case. ( Rate Hearing Is Begun Chairman Judson C. Clements, of the interstate commerce commission, on Tuesday resumed the hearing of the com plaints of the independent compresses of Alabama against the railroads of this state, on the contention that the roads discriminated against them in favor of' ■the Atlantic Compress company. On Tuesday, as on Monday, the session was devoted to the taking of testimony. C. B. Howard, of Inman, Akers & In man, the cotton firm, was on the stand Tuesday. J. 8. Barbour Thompson, pres ident of the Atlantic Compress company, testified Monday. At 2 o’clock Judge Clements began to hear the petition of the board of trade of Carrollton, which is a complaint against the Central and other connecting roads of an unjust rate discrimination agalns* that town. It Is charged in the petition that Car rollton formerly enjoyed the same rates as Cedartown, Newnan and other points In the territory, but that since the Central acquired the Chattanooga. Rome and Co lumbus road the competition has ceased, and discrimination in rates Is practiced. Especial complaint is made of the rates to Carrollton from points in New York, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, Ken tucky. Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Tennessee and Alabama. The charges of the petitioners are lodged against the Cejjtral. the Southern, the Mobile and Ohio, the Atlanta and West Point, the Louisville and Nashville and other roads. Reliable Laxative for 1 Old People Given Free Life is so arranged that there is a close resemblance between Infancy and old age. By this is not meant the mental but the physical faculties. For example, the organ of digestion is the most dif ficult thing the child has to contend with, as it is that of the old person.
