TITLE CONFERRED ON CLAWS BY ATTORNEY GENERAL WICK
 ERSHAM IN REPORT.
6allinger-Pinchot Controversy To Be Thoroughly Aired in Congress, Both Sides Having Able
 Champions.

F. Glayis ls a megalomaniac in a re- port to the president. submitted to the senate today, Attorney General Wckersham declares Mir. Glavis' statements about Secretary Ballinger in the Cunningham coal land clmms are entirely disproved.
 It was upon this report that Presl dent Taft dismissed Mir Glavls.
 "Glavis' actions,' says Attorney Gen eral wickersham, appear to have been founded upon wholly exag geraed sense of his own importance, and a desire for personal advance ment rather than on any genuine. de- sire to protect the interests of the government. and this species of meg alcnania has finally led him to sub init to you charges of improper mo- lives anr conduct against hls ofricial superiors which, in my opinion. are so unjust and unfounded as to merit his immediate separation from the ser vice.
 In his conclusions Mr. wickewham says:
 50 far from taking action to favor the Cunningham claimants. the record clearly shows that Secretary Balnng CT was scrupulously careful noi in any respect to act upon these claims Tnff hTe 1f t- written or spoken expressions were favorable to these claimants. The ut. most he did was to instruct the land office promptly to investigate and dis poe of all pending cases"
 The Ballinger-P Pimchot controversy WIS today made doubly intense by the reading in the senate of letter addressed by MT. Pinchot to Senator Deliver. in which the course adopted 2 by L. R. Glavis, with the assistance of Messrs. Price and Shaw of the bu- rean of forestry, was warmly approv- cd. In this communication the chief forester not only upheld the criticism of Secretary Ballinger, but suggested that the president himself had been mistaken in the facts when he re- moved MT. Glavis from the service.
 MT. pinchot's letter called Senator Hale to his feet with severe rebuke 10 the chief forester for having ig- nored a recent order by the president directing thag no subordinate officer should give information concerning affairs of the government excepting tc his superior officers.
 He also suggested that the adop- ton of this course tended to fore stall and prejudice public opinion in relation to the Ballinger Pinchot con troversy
 Preceding this incident Senator Jones joint resolution for an investi- ga'ion of the interior department and ! the forestry bureau was referred to the committee on public lands, but the reference was not made until af. ter considerable discussion of reso- lution by Senator Newlands instruct ing the committee on public lands to report within two weeks recon. mendations for legislation putting into effect Secretary Ballingeris recom- mendations made in his last annual report for the conservation of natural resources.
 Senator Newlands' resolution also was referred to the committee on pub- lie lands.
 While the senate was taking this action the house declined to enter a discussion of the joint resolution in- troduced hy MT. Humphrey. The resolution went over until tomorrow. In the senate Mir. Pinchot's letter caused genuine sensation. In addressing his letter to Senator Deliver. Mir Pinchot indicated that 1t had been written at the request of
