the most bitter ever held here and
was characterized BY sensational

we're made against the Democrats by

Much sympathy is felt here for the

| in good faith at the request of the
managers Of the Citizens party, and
the Maryland officers bitterly de-
nounce those who employed them for
not giving them warning of the
drastic law of the State against carry

The effect Of the Arrest of the i'm
ported officers was decidedly against
the Citizens party and it is said that
the expose of the methods of detect
ing alleged crime in the contest cost
the Citizens party many votes.

art dealers declare that old masters are
flooding the country since the removal

since July of last year and up to
April l of this year art works to the
value of $19600.00 have come into this
country from abroad.
For the previous year, when duty
was collected, the total value of inn
ported art works was $3,400, 900 This
is an increase of nearly 500 per cent
The art dealers are inclined to be
skeptical regarding the authenticity of
a considerable portion of the importa-
lions, and predict that the government
will find cause to refuse it's O. K. to

ACHILLES TO TAKE
THE STAND TODAY
Ballinger Disturbs Serenity OF
Congressional Investigation
by Sudden Appearance

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Secretary
Ballinger will go on thes tand tomor-
row to tell his version of the conserva-
ton controversy between Clifford Pin
chot and himself His testimony will
mark the beginning of the end of the
investigation which thes elect commit
tee has been conducting since January
Near the end of a dull days session
Ballinger appeared rather unexpectedly
ready to take the stand.
Attorney Pepper, counsel for Pinchot
was cross examining Director Smith of
the geological survey on the withdraw
ais of water power sites under Secre-
tary Garfield and also under Secretary
Ballinger
ACHILLES AWAKENS SLEEPERS
Members of the committee were TAX
ing little interest in the proceedings
and some were doing in their easy
ccairs. At this juncture Ballinger
walked quickly through the rear door,
following his attorney, Vertrees. There
was an immediate revival of interest
Ballinger took his seat besideh is law
yer and listened. Pepper soon aban-
doned his examination of Director Smith
and it was whispered the secretary was
about to take the stand. This was his
members wanted to question Smith
When thel asst question had been put
the committee had been in session half
an hour beyond it's usual time.
At the beginning of the hearing
Chairman Nelson announced that the
committee had voted to refuse the re-
quest of Attorney Brandeis. counsel for
CLAWS, for full information bearing on
the preparation of Attorney General
Understands summary of the CLAWS
charges which he prepared for the
president.
Brandeis attempted to prove his con-
tention that Wickersham prepared the
summary last December, but dated it
September II, so as to make it appear
the president had based his letter of
September 10, generating Ballinger,
on that report.
The committees attitude was that
the attorney general was not under in
vestigation and, as he had declined to
have anything to say on the subject.
it was not within the province of the
committee to delve into the matter.
This was the view of only the regular
republican members, however The
democrats, supported by Representative
Madison the 'insurgent" republican,
voted in favor of Brandeis' request.
The cross examination of Smith oc-
cupied practically the entire day.
