PINCHOT WRANGLES
WITH ATTORNEY
BALLlNeER LAWYER SEEKS TO
SHOW DISREGARD FOR LEGAL
PROVISIONS.
FORMER FORESTER CONTENDS
TWAS LEGAL TO SEND
RANGERS TO COLLEGE.

Washington, March 5.-The Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation dragged
slowly through two sessions yester-
day. Attorney vertrees, for secre-
tary BaIlinger, continued a cross ex-
animation of Clifford Pinchot. He
elected some interesting facts, but
for the most part the DAY was taken
up with wrangles between the attor-
ney and witness.
Mr.. Pinchot admitted that his first
hand knowledge of Mr.. Ballinger's
acts was limited, but he reiterated
that the secretary of the interior de-
ceived the president concerning the
Cunningham coal cases and had made
a statement 20 the president which
was obviously untrue"
Mr.. Veruees sought to show that
Mr.. Pinchot and former Secretary
Garfield We in the habit of doing
what they thought best, regardless Oh
the law, and that their antagonlsm
TO Mr.. Ballinger was brought about
by his determination to proceed Who'll
~ within the law.
Mr.. Vertrees spent sore time on
the subject of sending forest rangers
10 agricultural colleges, seeking to
show that Mr.. Pinchot had adopted
that policy without the knowledge OF
Secretary Wilson and men were sent
10 college in large numbers, their sal
aries and expenses being paid while
there.
Mr.. Pinohot said his impression"
was that he had once spoken to Mr..
Wilson about the matter, but was
not willing to swear to it.
Mr.. Veruees read a letter from
Secretary Wilson to the controller of
the treasury, saying he had learned
of a plan of sending rangers to col
lege after Mr. PinchOt had left the
service. The controller held that
the plan was illegal.
The former forester said he still
thought it lawful to send men to col
lege He thought that if the forest
service had presented the case from
its point of view, the controller
would have so held.
Mr.. Vertrees read to the witness a
long list of expenditures from the
forest service funds during Pinchot's
regime to cover the expenses of Off
Gals and employees sent out to lecture
to schools and clubs. One item was
SIT for expenses of Bristow Adams

This is specially in favor among
members of the younger generation,
the older men of Oshkosh beng
strongly opposed to it. The claim Is
joke in the east and is the subject
of jokes on the stage and in songs
and gives the impression to those

it is jay town. Consequently
the idea being fostered is to change
the name to one more sensible, Sc
