vERTREES AYERS
SEC'y BALL|RGER
IS REVENGE VICTIM

WASHINGTON, May 28.-"Mr. Bal
placed upon him by reason of the dis
appointment and revenge of men in
capable of generous impulses ana senti-
ments," exclaimed his defender, Attor-
ney John j. Vertrees, during a contin-
uance Of his summing up argument be-
fore the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating
committee today.
For more than two hours of the fore
noon session of the final public hearing
of the committee Mr.. vertrees addressed
himself to the subject of the Cunning
ham Alaskan coal claims In support of
the contention that there was nothing
in Mr.. Ballinger's connection with them
either as commissioner of the land office,
as secretary of the interior or as a
private citizen that justified criticism.

former Forester Pinchot We're bitterly
excoriated by Mr.. Ballinger's attorney

niger was the act Of disappointed
office seeker" who as secretary might
be compared with a 500 horse under a
$100 saddle, who realized that stripped
of his saddle he would find himself "a
mere pony" Vertrees said that Pin
chot as forester reminded him Of a
small possum up very big tree.
Vertrees asserted that every official
act of Mr.. Ballinger had been "above
reproach," but that even IL he had been
guilty of improper conduct in prepar
ing the Cunningham affidavit the COM
mittee would have no authority to cen-
~ y q 4
private citizen. He added, however
that he did not care to stand behind
that question and that If the commit
tee thought he had done anything inn
proper he should be censured.
When the committee took the usual
luncheon recess Mr.. Vertrees had about
an hour of his time remaining. 1t was
the expectation that Attorneys Bran
deis and Pepper would occupy about an
hour of their remaining two hours in
replying to Vertresss argument.
