Observation-Disclosures
OPENING CEREMONY SIMPLE
PAGEANTRY is POSTPONED.
Intense Interest Attaches to Opening
Of Legislature Because Of Result
Of Recent Elections.

London, Eng, Feb. 16.--The third
parliament Of King Edward assembled
this afternoon The ceremony was
simple, all the royal pageantry con-
nected with the state opening being
postponed to February "a, the interim
TO be devoted to swearing in mem
bers and clearing away, if possible,
the difficulties confronting the govern
ment. These difficulties are due not
only TO the divergent motives actual
ing the various parties which consti-
tute the coalition majority, but as
well to the divisions within the parties
themselves over the best means Of
graphing with the great issues in the
recent appeal to the country.
Not for many years has such intense
interest attached to the opening Of the
legislature. and seldom have the prob
lens involving the success or failure
OF the government threatened TO be so
difficult Of solution even to the most
capable members OF parliament.
The result OF the recent elections is
so confused that the stanchest press
supporters OF the government admit
that proof that the government will
have u majority TO act drastIcally on
the dominant issues can be found only
after The house OF commons has set
tied down 10 work and the national
lists and iaborites show their hands
"a the course OF the debate on the
eyeech from the throne.

CLAWS CLASHES
WITH VERTREEs
BalIinger Accuser Adheres to His
Direct Testimony.
He is MATCH FOR LAWYERS
Members Of Inquiry comlttee Declare
He Is Most Wonderful Witness
Fences Most SklllfulIy
with Attorneys.

Washington. Feb. 16.-The session
of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation
was dull and featureless in compari
son with the previous days hearing
The only live spots in the testimony
were the frequent clashes between
Louis r. CLAWS and Attorney Vertrees
who conducted the cross-examination
of the witness in behalf of Secretary
Ballinger.
At all points CLAWS adhered to his
former testimony regarding the unfit
ness for Offices of both Secretary Bal
linger and Assistant Secretary Pierce
The committee was in executive SEES
sion 40 minutes discussing the admis
sibility at this time of report from
Sef.tle giving the details of the al
legged discovery among CLAWS effects
of "a letters which had been missing
from the official files of the land Office
there. No decision was announced.
Certain original letters, which it is
claimed CLAWS did not turn over to his
successor when he was removed from
the service, were found recently in a
box which he left in the grand jury
room at Seattle. This feature of the
cross-examination angered the witness
and he bitterly denounced what he
termed a 'frame-up" on the part of
federal officials who were seeking ia.
vor with their superiors. He asserted
repeatedly on the stand that Mr.. Bal
linger is unfit for the Office he holds,
is unfaithful to the trust, and not loyal
to the interests of the people"
Look Into Alleged "Frame-Up."
To ascertain whether or not CLAWS
was the victim of a "frame-up" in con-
nection with the finding of various
missing official papers. Attorney Yer
trees requested that subpoenas issue
forthwith for A. Christensen, Claws
successor, and G. w. o'Neill of Sc
attic.
Claws fences with the attorneys
skillfully and apparently is match
for all of them. He parties their ques.
lions and when directed to answer
Yes or mo" he always stands upon
the right that has been accorded him,
to follow this up with an explanation
which may run on for five minutes or
more, and in the course of which he
usually takes advantage of the oppor'
tunity to say that he was thus con.
WINGED that Mr. BaAinger is unfit for
the office he holds, is unfaithful to his
trust and not loyal to the interests of
the people"
Members Of the committee, among
whom are many wellknown lawyers.
declare that rarely in their experience
have they seen a more clever witness
than CLAWS. During most of the time
the dismissed field agent is answering
or arguing with Mr.. Vertrees Balm.
gers counsel, Mr.. Brandeis sits by
with broad grin on his face, appar-
emily confident that his witness needs
no assistance from him.
