Took Schwartz's Advice.
Vertrees insisted that it had been
shown that Ballinger had originally
clear listed the Cunningham claims on
recommendation of Chief of Field Serv-
ice Schwartz and that when later, after
his retirement from the land Office he
has drawn up the Cunningham affidavit,
his conduct was not improper, inasmuch
as he possessed no information by rea-
son of his former position that by any
possibility, could be used to the prejudice
of the government. He also denied that
there was any ruling in the department
that made it improper for him to repre-
sent the claimants under the circum-
stances.

steam gun carriage and the following
