MAKES OPEN CHARGE
AGAINST WICKERSHAM
Interior Secretary Again on Stand
and Makes Further Contradiction
OF Accusations Against Him by
Officers OF Reclamation Service
Would Like to See Newell Ousted
Cny Associated Pres.. ,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 20.---
Secretary Ballinger continued to con
tradict and deny statements and ac-
cusations against him from the wit
ness stand In the Ballinger- Pinchot
investigation today.
He still was under direct examina-
ton when the committee adjourned
until next THURSDAY.
Mr.. Ballinger launched into
Justification of his attitude toward the
reclamation service. His most i'm
portant denial was of the charge
made by Director +. II. Newell and
Chief Engineer A. u. Davis. of the
service, that he misrepresented TO the
President that the reclamation ser
vice had recommended the restora-
lion of the water sites withdrawn by
Secretary Garfield.
Would Like a Change.
Mr.. Ballinger made no secret of
the fact that he would like to see
MIR. Newell superseded as the head
OF the reclamation bureau. He told
tine committee he did not have much
confidence in Mr.. Newelrs admins
tratiye reclamation policy and said
many of the projects under way had
great possibilities for the develop
ment OF the west.
Asked by his lawyer why he did
moi make change In the reclama-
ton service. Mr. Ballinger retoTted
sharply: Because my hands have
been up for months and have not
been able to get them down."
Mr.. Ballinger probably will he on
the stand for three more days et
least.
Again Deny Request.
Two hours OF today's session were
consumed by the committee over the
question OF granting Attorney Bran
deis' request for papers and docu-
ments bearing on the summary of the
CLAWS charges prepared for the
President by the attorney general.
The committee again denied the re-
quest, though making one small CON
cessiOn. The opposing attorneys ar-
gued the question and threw some
light on the controversy.
Mr.. Vertres charged there was
conspiracy afoot against other advis-
ers than Mr.. Ballinger, of a presi-
dent who happened TO be distastefal
TO the conspirators. He minated
that Former Secretary Garfield and
Former FORESTER Pinchot were the
chief conspirators.
Open Statement.
For the FIRST time Mr. Brandeis
openly stated his belief taht the at
torney general had antedated mis-
summary with the idea oil making

Tie had reference TO the dismissal
OF bis client, L. X. CLAWS. by tine
