BaIIinger Is Sued

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Declaring
that Secretary of the Interior Ballinger,
because he had been counsel for num-
Der of land claimants in the Silez In
dian reservation, in Oregon, now de-
clines to give them the benefit of his
Judgment since becoming secretary OF
the interior and has attempted to del
egate to his assistant, Frank Pierce,
the duty imposed by law on him." and
that the latter has decided adversely
to them, William D. Bales, Thomas
Holverton and Levy NJ Gilbert today
fled suit in the supreme court OF the
district Of Columbia for intunctions to
prevent the execution of the order of
Pierce.
Bales says he employed Ballinger in
1908 and that the latter filed in the Of
fee of the then secretary of the inte-
rior brief urging that patents be is
sued to Bales. BY alleged Irregular
ties he claims his title to the entry was
clouded and Pierce has rendered
against him a decision which is about
to become operative in Oregon unless
the court prevents its execution.
Bales and the other claimants declare
the law allows an appeal to the secre-
tary; that they are entitled to IL, and
that the action of the assistant secre-
tary is without warrant or law.
When Ballinger's attention was
drawn 10 the suit ne eIupHAllCdlly Qe-
MED having been attorney for the
claimants or that there was any spe-
ciaI reason why Assistant Secretary
Pierce had handled the cases. The lat
ter had disposed of them, he said, in
accordance with his general assignment
of handling land Office matters.
Regarding the charge that he had
been counsel for the claimants, the sec
retary declared that after he had re-
tired TO private life from the commits
sionership of the general land Office his
name had been signed to a brief in the
cases by ]. II. Ballinger, a distant
cousin, in conjunction with his own
signature.
The secretary said this was done
without his authority and when the
matter was called to his attention he sc
advised the interior department and re-
quested that his name be stricken from
the document.
The secretary and Assistant Attorney
General Lawlor Of the interior depart
ment stated that the claims involved
valuable timber lands. Lawlor said pos
session of them was being sought
under the guise of the homestead law
which, he was satisfied, had not been
complied with.

Governor Miles c. Moore of Washing
ton came to see Secretary Ballinger.
HANDLED CUNNINGHAM CASES
The secretary let me in and said
he had been consulted with reference
to the Cunningham claims while he
was out of the government service, and
he wanted me to act on all matters con-
nected with that case. 1 talked with
Governor Moore about the cases.
He complained of the delay in act
ing upon the claims. I sent for Finney,
assistant to the secretary, who in turn
sent for CLAWS. and we three discussed
the cases in detail. That was the only
time 1 ever talked with CLAWS. The
next day I told Governor Moore that
q prima facie case appeared in the rec
ord and he could not have his patents.
Moore was very much chagrined and
put out. He wrote to Secretary Bal
Iinger that 1 had proved a disappoint-
ment, and that he was going home with
a message that would give scant COM
fort to his associates. At this time
CLAWS had possession OF the newly dis
covered Cunningham journal"
From that time to this asked
vertrees, has Secretary BaIlinger at
tempted to interfere with your direc-
ton or control of the case, or attempted
to influence your judgment or action?
He positively has not"
