HARRISON ACCUSES
TAFT OF BAD FAITH
Representative Also Scores
the Attorney General.

a charge OF bad faith is made against
the President and the Attorney General
in a statement made public yesterday by
Representative Francis Burton Harrison,
Of New York.
In commenting on the admission OF
Attorney General Wickersham that his
memorandum on the CLAWS case. sub
mitJed 10 the President, was predated
to make it appear that It was used by
the President In his summary exonerat-
ing Secretary BaIllnger, Mr.. Harrison
declared that this confession OF the
Attorney General amounts 20 a conclu-
sion that the President and the Attorney
General had agreed to furnish TO Con-
gress misleading information"
A week or so ago Mr.. Harrison pre-
senJed resolution calling upon the At
torney General 10 furnish to the House
the original copy Of the Claws summary.
This followed the action OF the investi-
eating committee in refusing to submit
the summary TO be used as evidence. as
requested by Attorney Brandels. counsel
for CLAWS.
Calls IL a Confession.
Upon his appearance before the inves-
tgating committee Thursday. Secretary
Ballinger read a portion Of a letter i'd
dressed by Mr.. Wickershamfo Chairman
Parker. of the House judiciary Commit
tee which has the Harrison resolution
under consideration. in which the admis-
sion was made that the summary in
controversy was predated. In his state
ment yesterday Mr.. Harrison said:
The purpose Of my resolution has been
accomplished. The Attorney General
has made the admission sought by the
inquiry The resolution calls for the evil
dence as 10 the grave charge OF pre-
dating his official summary and conclu-
sions' in the BalIinger- Pinchot investiga-
ton. Knowing that the House Of Repre-
sentatives was about to adopt the resolu-
ton the Attorney General comes forward
In the nick Of time with al admission Of
fact The President has transmitted 70
the Senate in answer to a request for
all the papers on which he reached the
conclusions dismissing CLAWS and giving
Ballinger a clean bill Of health. an Off
cial review Of the evidence with the
summary and conclusions by the At
torney General. dated September II. 1909.
The Attorney General has now ad-
mitted the truth Of the charge that his
report. with it's summary and conclu-
sions' was written. not on September II.
1909, the day of its date. but weeks later
This is one of the most serious adj
missions ever made by a Cabinet officer.
Not only is the conservation of our natu-
raj resources involved, but also the char
acter and reputation of two public off,
Gals. This confession Of the Attorney
General amounts to a conclusion that the
President and the Attorney General had
agreed TO furnish to Congress misleading
information-to supply an official docu-
ment as Of one date which was really pre-
pared many weeks later-a document cal
culated to have a serious if not concIu-
sive influence upon questions Of the high
est public Importance
The Attorney General offers a start
ingly lame excuse. I doubt whether the
country will receive It with even respect

practically at the District boundary. rests

engage actively in business here. Be
fore the next meeting OF the committee
