HINTS AT FRAME IN
BALLINGER INVESTIGATION
CLAWS Attorney Makes Yelled Charge
That Wickersham Wrote Summary
After Data Given To Public.

WASHINGTON, April ga yelled
charge was made at the Ballinger-pn-
chot hearing yesterday afternoon By
Attorney Brandeis that the summary
prepared by Attorney-General Wicker
sham on the CLAWS charges against
Ballinger, although dated September,
1909, was really written sometime
after that date.
Brandeis, who was cross-examining
e. c. Finney as to certain passage
In the attorney-generals summary, de-
clared that the charge which was there
rcfuted was not made by CLAWS until
the publication of his story In Col
lier's, Nov -, 1909.
Brandeis did not pursue the inquiry
further,
II is alleged that, if Brandeis'
charge is substantiated, the president
could not have had the attorney-gen-
erals summary before him when he
wrote his letter of Sept. 10, exonerat-
ing Dallinger from the CLAWS charges
Brandeis intimated that he would
follow up the matter later.
John w. Dudley, formerly register
of the juneau land Office, emphatically
denied yesterday that he had been
approached by an agent of a weekly
newspaper and offered from $4,000 TO
$4,000 IL he would come here and
testify. Several weeks ago H X. Love
had stated to the committee that Dud-
ley told him this.

) PROVED TO BE A JOKE.
Sheriff Buford Answers Hurry Call.
Takes Poiceman.-No One
Hurt.-No Arrests.

Early Monday night while Sher-
iff NJ. NJ. Buford was resting and
reading in his room at home, he got
phone message to come at once to
the residence Of Mr. Antine Buz-
harlt. It was an urgent call-two
men had been held up and one prob
ably killed by highway robbers.
Sheriff Buford, always quick and
ever ready. jumped into his every
day clothes and shoes as fast as he
ever did in his life-maybe a little
faSter-as he called to his stable boy
to hitch the horse to the buggy. Next
Immediately getting hold Of Police
man H. H. Franklin-who IS himself
a quick ard ready oficer-the dis
tanee of about two miles the sheriff
says it is, was made inside Of ten
minutes. They thought they had
something to do as they knew Mr..
Buzhardt to be a reliable man and
would not Intentionally misrepresent
things.
A man had come to Nj. Buzhardt's 5
house for protection: he was excited
and out Of breath. and said highway
men had assaulted him and COM
panion; that his companion had
been shot. To him the thing was
real and Nj. Buzhardt did as any
one else would have done, as he
could not doubt the statement Of
The frightened man. But it turned
out that the young man had been
imposed upon-his companion was
on to the joke, which was that some
friends from the Mollohon mills
would scare the said young man.
The companion Of the young man
played his part we'll, and so did the
disguised friends; but it wasn't so
awfully funny to the young man, and
naturally seemed true to Mr.. Buz-
hardt.
AS the distance was short and the
hour early, Sheriff Buford, also re-
membering that he was once a boy
and pranky, did not get offended at
the joke which was innocently
played on him, but told them if it
had been thirteen or twenty-three
miles he would have been mad. It
proved one thing, however, our wide
awake and alert sheriff can be de-
pended upon to answer an emer-
gency call promptly in the face Of
danger-and Howard Franklin will
be ready to go with him.
