Will Continue Testimony Fri
day in BaI|inger Inquiry.
PINCHOT TO FOLLOW HIM
Garfield Barred From Cabinet, Says
Former Field Agent.
KEPT OUT BY LAND CLAIMANTS
Witness Quizzed by Secretary Root.
Affidavit of What ID. A. McKen-
zie Said to Him.

| Although Louis r. CLAWS, dismissed
| field agent of the Interior Department,
was on the witness stand before the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigating commit
tee all of yesterdays session, it is ex-
pected he will occupy the same promi-
nent place when the hearing is resumed
next Friday morning. He will be fol-
lowed, it Is generally believed. by Gif-
ford Pinchot, the deposed forester, and
by other officers of the forest service.
The committee of inquiry has no fixed
program of procedure. Senator Nelson
yesterday intimated that 1t was an i'm
position that the other side,'' as he ex-
pressed it, had no attorney present to
take the witnesses In hand and cross-ex-
anime them No one has as yet ap
peared in behalf of the accused officials.
Yesterdays session was taken up with
the cross-examination of Mr.. CLAWS. In
that the democratic members took by
far the most prominent part.
During his cross-exam animation by Sena-
tor Fletcher of FLORIDA, Mr.. Claws de-
clared that Mr.. Ballinger, while commits
sioner of the land office. had advocated
before committees of Congress q bill
which would have validated the Alaskan
davit filed in September. 1908, by Clar-
ence Cunningham had on 1t a backing
bearing the name of the firm with which
Judge Ballinger was connected.
Why Garfield Left Cabinet.
Mr. CLAWS quoted Donald A. Mckenzie
as authority for the statement that
James r. Garfield was not retained in the
cabinet because of his antagonism to the
Alaskan coal claimants. This statement
brought forth some questions from Sena-
tor Root, eliciting denial from Mr.. Gla-
Wis that he regarded an affidavit to that
effect which he had made as an attack on
President Taft.
ITO whom did Mckenzie make this
statement?" Senator Root asked.
Special Agent Jones and myself. We
made an affidavit to that effect"
why did you make an affidavit?
Il thought it would be worth RENE m
bering in the further investigation Of
these cases if We had to call Mckenzie
as a Witness.
When did you make that affidavit?"
I'm September 1909"
After you had seen President Taft?'
Yes, sir
Have you a copy of it,?
No. There may be copy in the for
est service. l left one also in the Office
at Seattle.
Filed Papers With Forestry Service.
Did you send any other papers to the
forestry service?" asked Senator Nelson.
Yes. sir. Il sent them copies of papers
and affidavits."
Don't you know those papers are
confidential?'
Il sent them for the official use of the
forest service in it's investigation.
But you took them as an official of
the land service?
Yes, sir
CLAWS added that it had always been
the practice to furnish copies of papers
to the forestry in all cases where that
department was cooperating.
Who is this man McKenzfe?" asked
Representative Madison.
He is interested in the Dalton group
of claims in Alaska. and is known
among the agents as a lobbyist here in

Continuous vaudeville is not an entirely
new thing in Washington, but the an

new house, as made in a brief curtain
speech by A. c. Mayer. the manager of
