the charges brought by the president
connecting him with the Oregon land

vice men stole his private papers. He
denied that he had used any efforts
to deceive any one in his dealings or
that he resorted to falsehood, but de-
clared that he had a right to try and
buy the lands in question. He said
that in giving the charges to the
newspapers before they were receive
president was in contempt Of the
senate. He insisted that the presi.
dent had all of this information last
July and saw no reason now why he
should be in such a hurry to make it

the presidents motive and its hon

transaction in detail, and admitted
that he tried to buy the land, and in

He said he signed no papers and paid
no money, and denied that he had any
personal interest in seeking to expose
the alleged land swindlers. He ac-
cused the president of protecting Har-
riman in holding two million acres of
land he refused to sell at any price.
