field, and then only after a full con-
sideration of what / conceived pubic
duty
Ballinger said the Cunningham claims
were clear listed by him on the
strength of records before him and
that on the same records, as he said
before, he would clear list them again.
When Brandeis asked If he had not
assumed that the necessary examlna-
tion had been made Ballinger retorted
hotiy:
'An of your efforts throughout this
hearing have been to besmirch my
character by trying TO show some
devilish inspiration back OF my ac-
tons The fact that ] knew some OF
these claimants had nothing to dc
with my action. Those who have
known me in every office I have ever
held know 1t would have made no dlf-
ference to me whether they We're
friends or strangers.
COMMITTEE UPHOLDS WITNESS
The committee decided, by a party
vote, that Ballinger had answered
sufficiently.
Passing on to CLAWS telegram an
nouncing that the claims should not be
clear listed and questioning Ballinger
as to his reasons for holding them up
Brandeis inquired;
Wasn't 1t a fact that you didn't
dare to let the Cunningham claims &c
forward to patent. in view of CLAWS
attitude?"
NO, wasn't afraid of CLAWS OF
anybody else. CLAWS never produced
anything but suspicion and I was
merely exercising reasonable caution
ACCOMMODATES AS LAWYER
Brandeis asked Ballinger about his
connection during the interim with
several companies that had cases be-
fore the land office. In all of these
cases, Ballinger said, he represented
the companies purely ont of accommo-
dation, as it belonged to that class OF
business his firm did not care to de-
velop.
Reading q letter written by Balm
ger as the representative of the Han
ford irrigation company, in which he
had used the term "we,' Brandeis
asked the witness about his relations
with that company.
II have no hesitation in saying
said the secretary, that I had S2,90C
worth of stock in the company. 1 have
since disposed of it."
Why did you not so state during
your direct examination" inquired
Brandeis.
Because I did not think of it and
did not think it cut any figure, and
don't think so now

All, NO LONGER MAY WE
GREET OUR OLD FRIENDS
Food Once Served Must Meier
Confront Us Again

LOS ANGELES, May 10.-gnder the
terms of an amended ordinance passed
today by the city council ''comebacks"
shall not be served in future in hotel
and restaurant dining rooms in this
city. Food once placed before guest
is ineligible to future exploitation,
whether the guest orders it returned
to the kitchen or overlooks 1t merely
because he is already stated.
Recently the superior court declared
a similar ordinance Invalid, because 1t
decreed that food once served If not
eaten must be consigned to garba ge
can. 1t was held by the court that
this compelled hotel keepers to waste
perfectly good victuals. Thereupon
the council amended the ordinance to
the extent of eliminating the garbage
can feature.
Food rejected by guests hereafter
may be eaten by hotel proprietors and
attaches or given away, but 1T must
not be returned to the dining room.

upbra1dings, as illustrated in some Of
her letters and also by her admissions
upon the witness stand. Some very
harsh epithets were hurled by her at
her husband, and had she used a little
more wifely tact their troubles might
not have reached the divorce court

an estrangement should have arisen
