Washington, May 27.--Upon

threatened to lead directly into

gan 4 Co., the investigation 81
the interior department closed
abruptly.
The circumstances under which
Ballinger is willing to have the
case 60 to the committee are re-
markable 10 say the least. He
failed to 60 upon the witness
stand to explain the letters he
wrote TO George W. Perkins, ].
Piermont Morgans partner, or
those to Engineer Thompson Of
Seattle, relating to the exploita.
ton Of Alaska by the Morgan.
Guggenheim syndicate. Th Q
charges of Kerby, the interior de-
partment stenographer, I h q {
Ballinger made misstatemeRts
while o witness, were permitted
to go unanswered. Kerby had
pointed out specific instances in
Ballingers testimony where the
latter had misrepresented things.
The fact that Ballinger had
been in intimate "peraonal and
confidential" correspondence
with Morgans partner developed
as a result of Ballingers attorney,
Vertrees, attempting to browbeat
Ksrby while the latter was on the
stand. Vertrees had sneeringly
asked the young stenogrspher to
demonstrate that he knew any
thing at ell about the interior de-
partment methods. "Look into
the personal file Of Ballinger,
number so-and-so, third drawer
from the top" advised Kerby.
He told the committee this file
contained papers asked for by
Brandeis, the attorney for CLAWS,
but which had not been produced.
With their bluff called in this
fashion, the Ballingerites had to
produce the papers from that file,
and, 10 and behold, Ballinger was
revealed as having been co-oper.

remembered, had already teati-
fed that this syndicate had an

in Alaska, which Ballinger has
