CONSPIRACY TO
 DOWN PRESIDENT
Charge Made By Attorney Vertrees Against Garfield,
 Pinchot and Others
Especial from United Press.


 Washington. April 3O-The heated and direct accusation that former Sec retary of the Interior Garfield, Clifford Pinchot and others are engaged in a political conspiracy to overthrow a President who is distasteful to them, '' was made to the Congressional inves- tigating committee today by Attorney J. J. Vertrees, counsel for Ballinger.
 Direct reference to 'sordid souls, represented a miserable spirit that will tear down and destroy any man of respectable ability,'' marked the attor- ney's hot protest against the tdespfc- able conspiracy to feast humility up- on the President and the President's s advisers"
 nunciation'' is the new line of attack started by Attorney Brandeis, counsel for Glavis in a request made to the committee that the attorney general be asked to l5Toduee all documents and evidence as to the date on which his summary of the Glayis charges was written. Brandeis asserts that the report was made in November and was dated September II. 1909
 Chairman Nelson announced that it had been decided to grant counsel on both sides an opportunity to argue the question.
 T found internal evidence in the which led me to believe that this summary was not prepared until some time in November because it at tempted to answer a charge not made by Glavis until November 13."
 A final refusal to give Attorney Brandeis the papers he desires from the attorney generals office in con ducting the case against Secretary Rallinger, was announced this after noon.
 All the Republican members. ex- cept Madison of Kansas, voted to shut off this angle of the investiga- tion, the division being seven to five.
 Brandeis sought to gain evidence supporting his charge that the Presi- dent did not have the report of the attorney general when he signed the letter exonerating Ba11inger last fall but that this report actually was written several weeks later and de- liyered the day before the Presidents letter. Senator Root, becoming an gered at the discussion, forced the committee into executive session where the vote was taken, closing the attorney generals files against the prosecution"

London, April 3o--There is one person in London who will not greet Colonel Roosevelt with warmth that is Mrs. George CornwaI1is-VV est. She is hopping mad, and the former president is the cause. Mrs. Corn walhs-West on learning the date of Colonel Roosevelt's arrival in London arranged 8 tremendous formal woul- ans dinner in his honor and invited many of the great London hosteasez, such as Countess Grewe, Lady Pear son, Mrs Asqu1th and others.
