ised that he would be speaker of this

Ostensibly the speaker arose to dis,
euss an amendment to the legislative
appropriation bill carrying $4,000 for
the support of his automobile. He re-
ferred, somewhat sareastically, to
Democratic plans for economy and
made plea that the office of speaker
be maintained upon plane as high
as that of the vice-pEesident,

Committee Asks Secretary TO Send
Documents at Once - Wit d
ness Tells of Clash
with CLAWS.

Washington, April 9.-When the Bal
inger- Pinchot inquiry was resumed by
chairman Nelson. Attorney Brandeis
protested against the letters written
oy Secretary Ballinger last week com
planning OF the numerous wholesale
calls for papers made upon the depart
ment by the attorney for the prosecu-
ton. The secretary characterized Mr..
Brandeis' course as an ''oblique at.
tempt to control the manner in which
the evidence should be presented"
and mere fishing process"
Mr.. Brandeis complained OF the de-
lay OF the interior department In pro-
ducing papers requested and he asked
that Instructions be issued calling for
the production OF the papers at once.
Mr.. Brandeis then proceeded to at
tack the position OF Secretary Bal
} linser, which he characterized as "a
remarkable reversal Of ideas"
"ia Ordered to Produce Papers.
Attorney Vertrees replied to Mr..
Brandeis' statement He declared that
counsel for the prosecution was fish
ing" because the main case had failed,
" Fishing" remarked Representative
Ollie James, amid laughter, don't hurt
nothing less you catch something"
nj The discussion was ended by the
adoption of motion of Representa-
tive DENLY calling upon the secretary
OF the interior to produce all papers
called for by the committee with ''all
due speed"
Andrew Christensen, the chief of
field division of the land Office, who sue:
ceeded CLAWS at Seattle, was called to
the stand. He told of the trouble
he had with CLAWS about the turn
ing over of certain papers in the Sc
attic Office. CLAWS took a bundle Of
papers away with him and declined
to let Christensen see them until he
had made copies.
Hold 5aIIinser for Last.
1t has become evident that it is the
intention of the defense" to hold Mr.
Ballinger for the last, as, 1t Is be-
lieyed that on his testimony, more than
any other factor in the case. the com
mittee's verdict will depend.
H. III. Schwartz. chief OF field serg-
ice, and Fred bennett. commissioner
of the general land office, are other wit
nesses whose testimony will have an
important bearing on the case. Both
men are to be cross-examined to the
greatest length, II MIR. Brandeis, the
CLAWS attorney, follows the precedent
he has, set with the other witnesses
for the defense. . --..'
