BALL|NGER'S CLERK
SPRINGS SENSATION
Claims Letter of Exoneration
Was Prepared by Interior
Department for Taft.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Balm
ger-Pinchot investigation was enliv-
ened by publication of statement at
tributed to f. M. Kerby, a stenograph-
er in the office Of Secretary Balm

letter of September 13, 1909, exoner-
ating Secretary Ballinger, was sub
stantially prepared for the Presidents
signature by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Lawler, of the Interior DeparG
ment
Kerby asserted also that Ballingei
himself reviewed and revised his own
letter OF exoneration before the draft
went to the President and that all OF
the preliminary drafts used in the
preparation of the letter were burned
in crate in the Interior Department
| as the suggestion and under the sup

1t was further pointed out, both at
the White House and by Attorney
General Wickersham, that compari-
son of the Lawler draft and the Presi-
dents letter would show that the in
ference of the Kirby statement was
unwarranted.
Mr.. Wickersham alluded to the prac-
tice common in the Government de-
partments of subordinates preparing
letters and documents for the consid-
Grafton Of their superiors and their
use by them in whole or in part as
they might see fit.
Almost simultaneously with the pub
| lication of the Kerby statement Attor-
ney General Wickersham sent to the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigating COM
mittee, then in session, a copy OF the
Lawler draft, accompanied by letter
to Chairman Nelson, in which Mr..
Wickersham declared the document
had been overlooked in sending the
papers requisitioned by the committee
at the request of Attorney Brandeis.

dents specific direction. When he re-
ceived 1t he found, he says, that it
was not what he wanted to issue,
and he wrote the letter himself in
the form in which he desired it, using
from Lawler's draft only one or two
general statements.

mRoN MAN" M'elNNITY.

Baseball fans are convinced thai
Iron Man" Joe McGinnity. who man
aged and pitched for the Newark team
last season. is one of the baseball mar
wells.
The records OF the Eastern league
just made public, show that McGin-
nifty pitched i'm fifty-five games last
year. of which he won twenty-ninf
and lost sixteen. He twirled in part
OF games that do not figure in his
average.
Such record would be considered
herculean task for youngster, but
when IL is considered that McGinnity
is almost in the "Cy"Young class, his
work becomes truly remarkable.
Ordinarily, n pitcher loses strength
after ten years or so of service on
the mound. but McGinnity shows alb
solutely no diminution of steam" ano
has evidently lost but little OF his cum
ming. He ranks fifth among the East
ern league pitchers.
