by Ebert H. Gary chairman of the
United States Steel directorate, eX-
plains the change as follows:
Mr.. Rockefeller states that the only
reason for his resignation is that the

Weather Bureau Chief Says Forestry
Experts Reckless in Opinions.

Experts Reckless in Opinions.
WASHINGTON, Mar. Backing up
his statements on the effect of erosion
on floods and contend;ng that too many
reckless opinions had been given by
the forestry advocates, Willis l.. Moore,
chief of the United States weather
bureau, today appeared before the
house committee on agriculture in con-
nection with the Weeks bill relating
to the purchase Of lands in the Appa-
lachian system.
Professor Moore contended that data
covering mlnutely the last % years
Showed that the average flow of the
Ohio river had not changed during that
time, that the average high and low
water had not markedly changed, and
that the actual number of flood days
had been less in the last part of the
% year period than in the earlier part
He said he believed erosion of the
mountain sides had a beneficent effect
for the silt washed to the level, and
reached land that could be cultivated.
He was heartily in favor of slegisla-
ton that really conserved and protec-
ted natural resources, but not of whole

United States Senators Chamberlain
of Oregon and Owen of Oklahoma to-
day assailed boss rule and protection
of corporations. Newspapers and

subservient to the interests by Sen
ator Owen. He referred to the plan
as the best possible safeguard of hui

WHY is A FREIGHT RATE?
Southern Pacific Asked to Answer Per-
tinent Queries About Its Rates.

Southern Pacific Asked to Answer Per-
tinent Queries About Its Rates.
NEW YORK, Mar. 1.-Why the
Southern Pacific railroad should main
tain SIS rate on railroad ties and re-
duce that rate to 1910 on other rough
lumber from Willamette valley to San
Francisco bay points was subject OF
inquiry today by the government at
torneys in the suit to dissolve the
Southern Pacific Union Pacific mer-
ger.
Counsel for the government wanted
to know from George W. Luce, general
freight agent of the Southern Pacific
if the rate on ties was not due to the
building of the Western Pacific lines
into Oakland, for which ties were sup
piled from the Willamette valley.
Luce denied that his road had any
intention of hindering the new road in
getting ties. He said that the rate on
all rough lumber had been raised to
>, and then lowered to 1910 on COM
plant of the mill men. The only rea-
son the advanced rate was maintained
for ties, he added, was because they
were considered a finished commodity
dDle TO Stanu the rate he admitted,
however he had never heard of any
other instance where this distinction
was made
Mr. Luce testified that the Southern
Pacific had never solicited Portland
freight traffic in San Francisco, but he
admitted that it might have been done
in a small way in Portland.
THE Southern Pacific did make an
effort to secure the Portland business
during the rate war" he said. but
gave up the attempt in disgust"

He said that power must be taken

inference that Mr.. Finchot felt aggriev-
ed at his dismissal from the govern
ment service. Mr. Pinchot objected to
this line of questioning. He said he
was not insubordinate, however, and
he felt that on this account an injus-
| tice had been done him.
Mr.. Vertrees then sought to question
the witness on his motives for not an
swering the question on his prelimin
airy statement to the committee in
which he charged Mr. Ballinger with
falsehOod. The entire committee soon
got into a controversy over the objec-
ton which was interposed by Attorney
Pepper.
During the discussion, Mr.. Vertrees
accused Mr.. Pinchot of having entered
the field of malicious accusation"
The question was not pressed how
ever. Mr.. Pinchot said that, while he
believed his dismissal was not justi-
fed. it left him with no bitterness.
He declared a great national question
was at stake and that it far transcend
ed any question of personal injustice.
Mr. Vertrees read three statements
from a letter addressed by Mr.. Pin
chot to President Taft at the time.
CLAWS was seeking an interview with
the president
you state by official action your
office stopped the issuance of patents
to the Cunningham claimants?" said
Mr.. .Vertrees. rs hat true?"
THAT was a mistake" said Mr.. Pin
chot.
Secondly" said Mr.. Vertrees, you
stated to the president that as a result
|of Mr.. Rallinger's action in restor-
ing water power sites withdrawn by
Secretary Garfield, valuable lands con-
tanning power sites, had passed from
the government. Is that true?"
THAT was a mistake" answered Mr.
Pinchot.
Asked if the whole framework oil
his letter to the president was ho'
inaccurate, Mr.. Pinchot replied:
1.-THE question whether l made mis-
takes or not is not essential. The pres
ident would have seen CLAWS anyway
Mr.. Vertrees sought to draw from
the witness the fact that there was
general movement on foot to discreo-
it Secretary Ballinger.
Il don't recognize a movement
against Mr.. Ballinger,' he answered.
Are not you and Mr.. Garfield anu
Shaw and Price and CLAWS and others
in a movement to cause the removal
of Mr.. Ballinger and to bring about MS
official destruction"
eff you ask me if we are all III
movement to conserve the national re-
sources, no matter whom the govern
ment hurts, will reply, yes"
"And you say you regard Mr.. Balm
ger as one of the chief obstacles u
the conservation movement, and you
are trying to remove him.
I'VE started in to reform him. re-
piled Mr.. Pinchot, amid laughter.
Failing in that you are going u
try to remove him, are you?'
1--WE are going to try to place the
facts before the committee"
Asked as to what Mr.. Ballinger ndu
done to show himself an enemy or COZ,
servation, Mr. Pinchot declared he hdu
done this by refusing to create range
sites on public lands, by restoring wal
err power sites to entry and by al
tempting to force through the Cuh
bingham claims.
