Secretary Ballinger sent a letter to the
committee today to the effect that a careful
search of his files had failed to reveal any
correspondence with George w. Perkins Of
the firm of j. p. Morgan & Co.. other than
that already made public.
Attorney Smythe, representing Mr.. Pin.
chot made a statement to the committee
that he and Mr.. Pepper desired to put in
the record certain affidavits TO contradict
charges against the forest service made in
a report presented by Secretary Ballinger
regarding the Menominee Indian reserva-
tion.

service. Attorney Vertrees said ne had no
objection to the filing of these affidavts,
he could have the same privilege.
objection to Argument.
Attorney Vertrees said he was opposed to
making any argument before the conf
mittee. He said he could not see the neces-
sity for it. II the evidence had been pre-
sented to an ordinary jury he would want
to argue his case. he said, but the cCW-
mttee was composed OF legislators, some
of them judges and all Of them lawyers,
who knew as much about the case as he
did "And in the second place." he added
with a smile, Il don't think there is any
thing to argue"
The plan finally adopted was the sugges-
tion of Mr.. Brandes. He desired to present
oral argument and to follow it with a brief
in due course. Members OF the committee
discussed the matter at length and senator
Sutherland made a motion that each side
should be given five hours for oral argu-
ment and that the attorneys should be al
lowed fifteen days time thereafter within
which to file briefs. The motion carried
unanimously.

/ am going to tell you a story
about our old dog Dan.
We had owned Dan many years,
when it happened for several rea-
sons that we thought it WASH
wise to keep him longer.
Uncle John, who lived on a farm
across the river came to see us
one day and We sent Dan away
with him to live on the farm.
Dams favorite plaything all
these years had been a little toy
wooden dog which we all called
Towser. So, when Dan went away
we sent Towser along to keep him
company. We thought the farm
would be a splendid home for Dan,
but he didn't seem to like 1T as
well as We had expected.
He was homesick, and home he
came; and instead of going way
around by the bridge, he came
right across the river. Maybe you
think, since he came that way, he
must have left Towser behind. But
no indeed-he swan all the way
across, holding Towser in his
mouth high above the water, so
that the toy was dropped into it's
old place behind the kitchen stove
as dry as though it had never left
the spot. We never tried ITO send
Dan away again.
