Defense of 3aIIinger

OF Balnnger the attorney said:
"Ballinger holds that conservation is
not thing of caprice. but of law
True conservation has no sturdier
supporter than he"
Those who have already been born
and now breathe have rights as well
as those yet to be born and yet to
breathe"
Development ought not to be ex-
lied by theorists and doctrinaires."
He could have transferred CLAWS. at
any time and obviously would have done
so had he been minded to bring about
improper official action which Patriot
CLAWS was preventing and thwarting
where he was"
Nertrees began by telling the COM
mittee that the evidence which his side
would present. as you will discover"
is OF two kinds-first, evidence that has
no direct relation to the acts personal
or Official, Of Ballinger. but which bears
upon particular collateral statements
OF witnesses like CLAWS, Barr and
Jones; and second, evidence which does
relate directly TO those acts of Ballin-
ger which CLAWS. Pinchot and company
have sought to assail and impugn."
Evidence Declared False
Vertrees declared 'fhe evidence of
the witness Jones as to the manner in
which Sheridan conducted the hearings
in the Cunningham cases and exposed
his case to his adversaries is such a
perversion of the truth as TO leave no
doubt it was deliberate; and the evf-
dence of CLAWS as to the relations
and conduct of Behrens and bennett
is equally false
1t Will also be shown that CLAWS
endeavored to have an accounting
agent of the government-Spalding
deliberately falsify the account he
tGlavis) had rendered, in order to re-
store SIS expended as stenographer's
fee for preparing the report to the
president which he and Shaw as the
agent of Pinchot prepared--the first
open attack upon Ballinger's good
name.
1T will then be shown that in Sep
tember. 1909. CLAWS surreptitiously and
corruptly concealed among his own
private belongings papers. the property
Of the government, which he knew
really were not injurious TO Ballinger's
name, but which, being hidden, could
be made foundation of a. malignant
and slanderous accusation, and that,
coHceiving this to be the situation. he

Second Request Denied

After an executive session the COM
mittee decided, for the second time.
against summoning Secretary Ballinger
in accordance with Brandeis' request. .
Vertrees in his preliminary statement
asserted that he would prove the testi-
mony Of CLAWS, Jones, Barr and some
others to be deliberately fabricated
and consciously false; that CLAWS en-
deavored to have government ac-
counting officer deliberately falsify an
account, and sought to injure Ballinger
by concealing papers belonging TO the
government.
Nerfrees' statement sparkIed with
epigrams. In one of these, referring to
the acts Of officers of the last admins
tration, the attorney said:
There was the reign of men. March
4 1903, came the reign of law

Misrepresentation Charged

Steele said with some show of feeling
that the Guggenheim enterprises in
Alaska had been the subject of gross
abuse and Misrepresentation in news
papers, magazines and before commit
tees of congress.
I'VE have been accused of gobbling
up Alaska. closing the markets of the
world to Alaska and what not 1t was
to refute Misrepresentation of this
sort that we asked permission to be
heard"
Steele said that it was difficult to
understand the abuse that had been
heaped upon the Guggenheims. They
had never tried to do a fraudulent
thing, he asserted, and had secured all
their rights through the general laws.
He gave figures to show that the Gug-
genheims do not control Alaskan fish,
cries. transportation facilities, or min
erals.
Our railroad is the only bona fide
railroad enterprise in Alaska. We
have never tried to shut out competi-
tion," said Steele. ANY encourage
ment that congress can give US ought
to be given
The San Francisco call., 1910-03-27
Attack Upon Roosevelt

Although Nertrees was particularly
referring TO Garfield and Pinchot, some
members of the committee after ad-
journment were inclined to construe
the statement as fling at former Pres
ident Roosevelt, and so expressed them
selves.
Patriot CLAWS" came in for large
share Of Vertrees's attention.
CLAWS. suspicious by nature, became
perverted by detective service
"Glavis, believed to be honest and
known to be capable"
CLAWS refusal to speak is to be
ascribed to a vanity that brooks no
suggestion"
Vertrees also dwelt at length upon
clifford Pinchot and the Pinchot serv-
ice" as he chose to designate the for
estry.
Mr.. Pinchot, vain and fattered by
his own publicity bureau"
sPinchot ceased to be the department
OF agriculture"
He was exposed and Ballinger had
committed the objectionable sin of de-
featine the ambition of self-exag-
gerated man."
Here was the birthplace of that
spirit of resentment and revenge
to assassinate the good name
Of Baliinger and bring reproach on the
president of the United States. who
had not retained Garfield and has dis
missed Pinchot"
The San Francisco call., 1910-03-27
Close of Prosecution

John l.. Steele attorney for the Gug
genheim interests in Alaska, was the
last witness for the prosecution.
Steele said that his object in appear
ing before the committee was to dis
pute the statements made in magazines
and newspapers that the Guggenheims
have paid large sums of money to Clar-
ence Cunningham The only money
ever given to Cunningham was in re-
payment for money advanced to rep
resentative of the Guggenheims who
went to Alaska to look over the claims.
The amount was something more than
$1,000.
'And that is ALL Steele said, that
ever was paid to him. The voucher
covering the payment was produced by
the witness and put into the record.
Brandeis and members of the commit
tee interrogated the witness as to the
sHbparticipants in the Alaska syndicate.
Steele protested that these were private
matters. Brandeis thought the ramifi-
cations of the syndicate might have an
,imnortant bearing on the case

called Adolph Behrens of Seattle as tue
first witness for the defense" CLAWS
in his testimony charged that Fred
bennett, commissioner of the land office
in Seattle, stated one day that he did
not know Behrens, but the next day
was invited out to lunch by Behrens
First Witness for Defense
The witness said he never lunched
with bennett, and up to the time he
talked with CLAWS in Seattle June 29
1908, he had never seen bennett He
also denied that he ever told CLAWS
that he wrote to bennett or that he
ever did write to bennett.
On cross examination Attorney Bran
deis showed witness a card on the back
of which he had written asking Den
nett if he could not meet r. H. Thomp-
son at a certain place 'Behrens said
that he wrote the message on the card
.and left it for bennett. He did not
consider that as writing to bennett
Brandeis asked the witness if he
knew a G. K. Turner. He said he did
not remember ever having met him.
The attorney then read a statement by
Turner as to conversation on a train
last fall with Behrens. Turner de-
clared Behrens told him that he had
acted as agent for bennett in real es-
tate uSdlS auu tiAdl llC ii1u LacbdO ~NAAE
siderable. Turner also declared that
Behrens had told him that Ballinger
had acted as attorney for claimants In
the Alaska petroleum company
Testimony Is Contradicted
Behrens said he usually talked a
good deal on trains, but he denied that
he ever had made the statements re-
cited by Turner.

bennett, yet you acknowledge writing
the card L have produced here" said
BrandeiS.
II left the card when / found Dem
nett out. That is easily explained; i
think the committee understands
Behrens said that he was a coal
claimant in the Hunt group in Alaska.
Against which adverse reports have
been made for fraud?' suggested Bran
deis.
Il don't know of any such reports.
Brandeis read such report recently
made by Special Agent Jones. Behrens
said that it was the first he had heard
of it.
The attorney had considerable fun
with the witness regarding block of
10000 shares of stock in the Alaska
coal and petroleum company, of which
Behrens was a stock holder. Brandeis
kept asking if this block of stock had
not been set aside for some other pur-
pose than development of the property
or the purchase of claims
Behrens insisted he knew of no such
block of stock. Brandeis kept ham,
mering away and finally the witness
blurted out:
do you mean for legislative pur-
poses?"
That's exactly what mean"
well, / don't know of any such
thing But I thought that was what
you were hitting at"
The witness said he had sold out

Complaint is made Of pedlers of po-.
tatoes selling short weight. Two men
went along Eighth East street this week
asking is cents per bushel. They
would, however, on pinch. come down

came suspicious on looking at the bas-
ket ana demanded that basketful be
weighed. After much hagGling, the ven-
doris consented when the "bushei" was
found to be 12 pounds short. The man
threatened to telephone to the city hall.
when the men hurrledly drove away.

Work, Says 1ibbard,

at would be impossible for the most

20 complete the job, said General
superintendent /. l.. Hibbard OF tue
coast lines yesterday,
sWe are getting one stretch after
another into service, and every little
bit helps to relieve the congestion
caused by the large and increasing
business N the west end. The necn
Of the double track becomes more
pressing every day. The fourteen
mile section of the new line between
Winslow and Denison, Ariz., is now III
operation and superintendent Gibson
hopes to get the line from Suwanee
To Rio Puerco ready for business IN
thirty DAYS. the track being laid ana
the surfacing and ballasting alone re-
naming To be completed. We arc
operating another fourteen mile piece
between RarstoW ana Cottonwood ana
the next stretch from Barstow to
Daggett ought to go into commission
bv the first of the year. There is
some very heavy work for the steam
shovels in cuts being made just THIS
side Of Barstow The track from La
guna to fil Rito and from Horace 70
McCalty's, n M, should be finished
this wear. We are doing the very
hardest part Of the work first and 70
say chat it is hard is putting i
mildly. on the hill east Of Ash Fork
for instance is some typical work. All
in Hinty malpai rock, a matter OF
drilling and shooting, shooting ana
drilling =.
while the work is not as diilicuii
as building an original line, since we
have the adjoining track for the
TRANSFORMATION of material and equip
ment, nevertheless this very thing en-
tails the difficulty of doing this with
out embarrassing the heavy regular
traffic. 1t is tremendous under
taking and very expensive. The dis
tance from Supai to Faiview alone
will cost two millions of dollars-just
one little piece While we could lay
track rapidly on the long desert
stretches, the plan is to get the most
difficult part done first and have the
worst over with.
Mr.. Hibbard corroborates the re-
port that the limited trains westward
are to be run in two sections after
the first Of the year and possibly IN
.December to take care of the tourist
travel to the coast, which is expected
Ato smash all records on the santa re
this year.
