Affidavit That He Used Pub
lie Funds Improperly.
TO PAY NEPREW'S EXPENSES.
Secretary Subpocnacd TO Appear Be-
fore House Committee on
Expenditures.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Somcwhat
waning interest in the investigation Of
the Ballinger- Pinchot controversy was
quickly revived In Congress today by
sensational charges against Secy. Bal
lipger, filed by Representative Hitch
cock of Nebraska and incidentally by
the senate's adoption of the investiga-
ton resolution as agreed upon in nego-
tiation The house will adopt the reso-
luton tomorrow.
The most important allegation of Mr..
Hitchcock is that funds of the Interior
department were improperly used in
paying private travelling expenses Of
Secy. Ballinger's nephew. The secre-
tary and other officials OF the interior
department were subpoenaed to appear
before the house committee on eXpendi-
lures to which Mr.. Hitchcock'S charges
were addressed.
The Republican caucus to select
members of the Joint investigation COM
mittee will be held Wednesday evening.
The Democrats have selected Rainey of
Illinois and Jams of Kentucky, The
senate members of the committee Will
be named by Vice President Sherman
and president of the senate.
Senator Nelson today reported to the
senate the conference report on tho
resolution providing for the investiga-
ton of the Balllnger-Pinchot contro-
versy. The conference report would
permit ANY official or eX-official' con-
cerned TO appear personally or by coun-
sci or the time limits would make it
possible to extend the investigation be-
yond this session of Congress.
The report was unanimously adopted.
The house received the report as acted
upon by the senate and it went over
until tomorrow.
