SURRENDERS DOCUMENTS IN
PINCH0T CASE
COMMITTEE HOLDS SESSION TO
PERMIT PERUSAL
Senator Flint Affects Compromise as
to ACCESSIBILITY of Submitting
Evidence to Brandeis-Pin-
chot Questioned
Associated Pressl


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-An uneX-
pected public session Of the Ballinger-
Pinchot congressional investigation
committee was held this morning, fol-
lowing the receipt from the interior de-
partment of two bundles of documen-
tary evidence called for by Mr.. Bran
deis, the attorney representing Louis
r. CLAWS.
Brandeis had complained of the delay
of the interior department in forward
ing these papers, and the committee
decided this morning to dispose of
them at once by fixing rules, under
which they could be examined by
counsel.
Following a session of an hour, Chair
man Nelson announced that the COM
mittee adopted a resolution providing
that the papers should remain in the
custody of the clerk who would make
a separate schedule of them and allow
the attorneys to peruse them in his
presence so as to determine which
should be offered in evidence.
Mr.. Brandeis said he had but a few
days TO remain in the city and would
like to begin inspection of the papers
at once. Chairman Nelson said it would
be necessary first for the clerk to make
the schedule. Senator Flint however,
offered a compromise by suggesting
that as fast as the papers were sched-
uled they should be turned over to the
attorneys.
Access Restricted
This was agreed to, but it was an
nounced that the attorneys alone
should have access to the papers and
that no one else would be permitted in
the room while they were examining
them.
Mr.. Brandeis said he would have to
be absent from the city on February
10 and IL and suggested that the hear
ing might go over until Monday, the
14th. The committee, however, ad-
hered to it's purpose to resume the
hearings February II.
The brief session today was marked
by two interesting incidents, Clifford
Pinchot making his first announcement
in the case and John Vertrees of Nash
Vile making his first appearance as
chief counsel for Secretary Ballinger.
Mr.. Pinchot asked that Nathan A.
Smythe of New York be added to the
list of counsel as his personal repre-
sentative and that he be permitted to
examine the papers.
Representative DENLY asked Mr..
Pinchot to what angle of the case his
testimony would be directed.
1.-THE story 1 have to tell" replied
Mr.. Pinchot, ''is of my connection with
conservation"
And that includes the Alaska coal
land cases and water power sites?" in
terjected Senator Sutherland.
YES"
The committee agreed that Mr..
Pinchot would not be called until after
the cross-examination of Mr.. CLAWS
was concluded and adjournment was
J taken until Friday. The attorneys be-
gan immediate examination of the
papers sent by the interior department.

ENDS LIEE NEAR LODGE

OAKLAND, Feb. 5.-Mystery in
wolves the suicide of an unidentified
man wearing a Masonic charm whose
body was found last might on the
county road in front of the Masonic
home at Decoto. The man, about so
years old, killed himself with a re-
volver. The fact that the deceased had
gone to the neighborhood of the Ma
sonic home to end his life and that he
was not known by the officials of that
institution tends to shroud the suicide
in mystery.

Clubs Want Catcher Amith Piches Entitled to Turn at Bat

TO be assured, and it is not at all unlikely
that some. manager will take a chance
with him. McAleer is one Of those who
is willing to have a look at Stone in
Washington uniform. OF course he
would not want to give fortune for him.
but II he can be secured at reasonable
terms he can make room for him here.
Stone was a star few years ago. He
is still young, but he has been with one
club too long, and 1t being club which
has gone from bad to worse, it is only
reasonable to suppose that the silent
one has not been in frame of mind
conducive Of exciting his greatest interest
in his work The Nationals do not want
lot of has-beens, but most any team
is willing to take a chance on a player
of the Stone type. for there are instances
where change of clubs has worked Won
ders with some ball players.
