NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Why He Thinks Ballinger an
ERemU of Conservation.

washington, Feb. 26.-Gifford Pinchot took
the stand in the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry
at o:2o D. M, and after reading his prelimi-
nary statement, in which he charged Secre-
tary Ballinger with falsehood and dislCy
atty to President Taft and declared that
Mr.. BaIlinger should be dismissed from the
service. he was sworn.
His counsel. George W. Pepper. of Phila-
deiphia undertook the direct examination.
Il began VITA q statement of Mr.. Pinchot's
services TO the government. The witness
told Of the growth of the Forest Service
since he was first connected with il. Mr
Pinchot said he first entered the service in
1896, under Secretary Hoke Smith, as a spe-
c!al agent IN the Land ONCE, to inspect
forest reserves.
Mr. Pinchot said that Nh. Balliuger, IS
Commissioner of the Land Office, in 1907,
protested against the creation Of the Chu-
gach forest reserve in Alaska. This forest.
as finally created included most of the
Cunningham coal claims.
The contract for cooperative agree
ment" calling for cooperation between the
Interior Department and the Forest Ser
vice arranged by Secretaries Wilson and
Garfield, was introduced in evidence. This
contract was abrogated by Secretary Bal
linger last year.
Mr.. Pinchot proceeded to tell at some
length the story of the conservation move
Inent. which received its first great impetus
at the meeting of Governors called by Pres
ident Roosevelt early in 1905. He told of
his own efforts to obtain the withdrawal Of
water power sites because of his fear that
these sites might pass into ''monopolistic
control" Mr.. Pepper said he would prove
by eX-Secretary Garfield, who will be called
q witness, that at one time prior to
March 4, 1909 he withdrew 1,834.520 acres
and at another time l.el5,9i0 acres of land
from the public domain available water
power sites.
Mr.. Pinchot referred TO his own activity
and that of Mr.. Roosevelt in the conserva-
tion movement aud in chronological order
came down at last TO the inauguration OF
President Taft
Up 10 the time he was inaugurated, had
President Taft made any declarations as to
conservation asked his counsel.
Yes" answered Mr.. Pinchot- He made
reference to the subject in his inaugural
address and several times before"
Mr.. Pinchot then read from one OF Mr..
Tafts speeches before his election, in which
he spoke Of the necessity of protecting the
natural resources of the country
Mr.. Pepper asked Mr.. Pinchot TO tell
what the status of the conservation move
ment was at the time President Taft came
into office.
1T had grown from practically nothing. a
little more than a year before, until. TO my
mind. it was-and stu is-the most power

shows date of April 10, but on April Z Mr..
Ballinger had already restored more than
200 600 acres in Montana.
Mr.. Pinchot said Mr.. Ballinger held that
the restorations were made as the result
of recent Investigations, which showed the
lands were no longer necessary 10 the in
terests of the United States. He said he
would prove that, matter of fact,
there had been no recent Investigations"
Of any sort.
Mr.. Pinchot was asked to tell of in
terview he had with President Taft on
April 49, 1909. on the restoration of water
power sites by Secretary Ballinger. 1t is
alleged by Mr.. Pepper that Secretary Bal
linger made no rewithdrawals of these sites
until after Mr.. Pinchots interview with the
President

Il wish to make objection which is really
a suggestion. The witness is about to tell
OF a conversation with the President This
would put the President in embarrassing
attitude ANY written communication to CT
from the President would be all right, but
if we allow witnesses to repeat conversa-
tions it puts the President in the attitude
where he must either remain silent or come
before the committee, which would be un
desirable
Mr.. Pepper was asked by the members OF
the committee what he expected 10 prove
by the conversation. He replied that sub
sequent letters of Mr.. Pinchot and the 7resi-
dent referred to the interview. The letter
of the President contained the statement.
he said, that his recollection of the conver-
saton did not wholly coincide with that of
Mr.. Pinchot.
Mr.. Pepper cited letters in the record
which he said tended to show that Mr.. Bal
linger took no steps toward the rewithdrawal
of power site lands until after the interview

And then what happened%'
"BALIINGER REVERSED POLICY"
Mr.. Ballinger reversed the central idea
the withdrawal of the waterpower sites
and threw the lands open to private appfo-
priation-"
Mr.. Pepper said that the action Of secre-
tary BaIlinger in restoring these lands
would be shown by competent witnesses
and documents. He declared that Mr.. Bal
linger announced that the Garfield with
drawals were Illegal, and that when he an
nounced his purpose of restoring the lands
Ia entry he made no reference as to any
rewithdrawals.
Mr. Pinchot read a list of reStorationS
made by Mr.. Ballinger, but In reply TO
questions by members Of the committee he
said he knew very little of the reasons Tor
the large amount of acreage withdrawn. eX-
cept that the maps did not show definitely
the locations of the streams, and the with
drawals were made sufficiently large to be
sure to take in all the power sites.
Mr.. Pepper said he would prove by officers
of the reclamation service that the restora-
tions made by Secretary Ballinger were
made without further investigation OF the
lands, and that the officers We're compelled.

tary, to recommend the restOrations
Mr.. Pepper called the committees atten-

the whole case which, he said, showed that
while Mr.. BalliGger did not enter office
until March 5, 1909, he was on April l OF
that year calling on the reclamation service
for reasons why certain withdrawn lands
in Montana, Utah and Oregon should not
be restored TO public entry

WATER POWER SITES.

Mr. Pinchots testimony to-day dealt
almost entirely with the question of
water power site Withdrawals. He
sought to show that Mr.. Ballinser had
restored valuable sites to the public do
main, thus reversing conservation
policy of the greatest Importance, ana
that he PinchoO had checked the Sec
retary in his purpose to make these SITES
subject to private appropriation. He also
sought to show that the cooperative
agreement between the Forest Service
and the Indian Office for the protection
of timber on Indian reservations had
proved entirely satisfactory and had ac-
compIished great good until Mr.. Bal
Iinger became Secretary of the Interior
He said this agreement was abrogated
by the officials of the Interior Depart
ment for the alleged reason that it was
unlawful under decision made by the
Controller of the Treasury. Mr.. Pinchot
denied that any such decision had been
rendered by the Controller. He declared
that the President had been deceived by
the Interior Department officials when he
was informed that Controller TraceWeIIs
decision made it necessary TO ahrogate
the agreement, as Mr.. TrdcewelPs deci-
sion related purely to the transfer Of
clerks from the Forest Service 70 the
Indian Office.
Mr. Pinchot said he fully believed in
CLAWS and was convinced that all CLAWS
had said was true. He characterized
CLAWS as a faithful public servant" and
declared that the facts he presented
proved that Mr.. Ballinger had been
unfaithful to his trust as the guardian
of public property of enormous value
Preceding the calling of Mr. Pinchot
there was further cross examination
of w w. Barr, the Seattle timber dealer
who testified yesterday that he had an
agreement with L. r. CLAWS for the 10
cation of timber claims in Washington.
Mr. Barr said that if the deal was sue
cessfuI Glavis's share of the profits would
be about $4,000.
