Washington, May 27.--With the at

side defending him and denouncins
his accusers, whom he termed the

Attorneys Brandeis and Pepper told
the committee that they had produced
evidence which they said established
that Ballinger was not vigllant and
resolute in resisting the asgressions
of special Interests and that his course
had been characterized By a lack or
fidelity to the puolic interest. S
Attorney yertreess reply was that
Mr.. Ballinger was as much "conser-

sense" but that he did not belong to

ACTION ON RAILROAD
BILL is POSTPONED
MAGAZINE WRITER
SUES FOR DAMAGES
Demands $4,000 From Oscar
Lawler, Of Interior Depart
rnent, for SANDER.

Washington, May 27.-Christopher
P. Connolly. a lawyer of Montana and
New York, and a we'll known writer
for magazines, to-day filed suit in the
Supreme Court of the District OF Co
lumbia. TO recover $4,000 DANA gcs for
alleged slander from Oscar LaNler, as
sistant Attorney General for the In
terror Department.
The suit is the first of the threaten
cd legal proceedings growing out OF
the Ballingcr- Pinchot inquiry. 1t was
rumored around the court to-day that
Secretary Ballinger was prepared to
invoke the law against some of his
alleged traducers.
The basis of the action is the tes-
timony alleged to have been given BY
Mr.. Lawler May II. before the Bal
linger-P Pinchot joint committee, where
In Mr.. Ilawler is alleged to have re-
ferred to Mr.. Connolly and others as
"desptcable scoundrels, who would
stoop to any depth of degradation.''
He is further alleged to have testified
that "a man named Connolly stood on

When asked to. identify the Con-
molly referred to. 1t Is alleged Mr..
Lawler said, 'He~is an ennploye Of
Golfers Weekly, and is a tall, slender
man with short, gray mustache.''
This. Mr. Connolly says describes him.
Mr. Lawler Is further alleged to have
said that he had considerable con.
tempt for the Connolly connected with
Golfers Weekly anyway. and would
not put him above anything OF that
kind a.

statement connecting him with the

At Last Moment Before Voting
Senate Adopts Important
Amendment.
ANoTH Err is Pc NDING
Telegraph and Telephone Lines
Put Under Control OF Com
merce Commission.

Washington. May 27-At the last
moment before reaching tho point OF
voting upon the railroad bill to-day,
the Senate took the important step OF
adding an amendment, placing inter-
state telegraph and telephone lines un-
der the supervision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. This action
was followed by an effort to restore
a portion of section Il, affecting mer-
gers, which heretofore was voted out.
Both provisions were introduced so
suddenly as to surprise the Senate
and the latter was considered so i'm
portant that rather than to vote upon
It without more consideration than 1t
was able to give, the Senate took an
adjournment until Tomorrow.
The action of the Senate insured the
inclusion of telegraph and telephone
companies in some form in the pro-
posed law as tho subject Is covered
in the House bill. The suggestion for
the inclusion Of telegraph and tele-
phone companies under the control OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
was made by Senator Dixon, OF Mon
tana. but ultimately his amendment
was superseded by one In simpler form,
which was offered by Senator La Fol
lette, of Wisconsin.
The Senate reached the voting stage
Al 4 o'clock, after an animated debate
which was carried on largely on the
Democratic side of the chamber, and
which dealt especially with the ques-
tion as to whether the Dolllver amend
mont, regulating the stock and bond
issues of railroads. was in accordance
with the last Democratic platform
Much Misrepresentation against vot-
ing upon the Dixon telegraph amend
ment without an opportunity for ex-
animation was expressed.
Amendment Accepted,
While the discussion and the voting
We're In progress on the Dixon amend
ment Senator La Toilette prepared an
amendment. which was In form so sim
pie and direct that Senators could not
have difficulty in comprehending It.
Mr. Dixon indicated a willingness to
accept this provision in place of his
own, and itwcnt through without even
a division. The provision as adopted
is as follows.
THAT telegraph anditelephone com
an interstate business are hereby
placed under the supervision and con-
trol of tho Interstate Commerce Com
mission. subject to the provisions of
an act to regulate commerce approved
February 4, 1857, which are applicable
thereto"
The result on this amendment had
no sooner been announced than Mr.,
Brown of Nebraska. prevented his
amendment reyivins a portion OF sec
