? PILES EXPL AINS
ABOUT BALL|NGER
Denies That He Used His Influ-
ence for Interests in Secur-
ing Appointment.

Washington. D. c., May 11.-Rising
to question of personal privilege,
Senator Piles, OF Washington, to-day
explained to the Senate the circunl-
stances under which Secretary Bal
linger had received his appointment
as Secretary of the Interior, and also
those under which he had been APP
pointed Commissioner of the General
Land Office.
The explanation was called forth by
the intimation OF Attorney Brandeis.
counsel for L r. Claws at the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation. that Mr..
Ballinger's appointment as commits
sioner had been influenced By Mr.
Piles at the instance OF persons who
were interested in the Cunningham
coal cases
Mr.. Piles said that the first indica-
ton he had that Mr.. Ballinger's APP
pointment as Commissioner of the
General Land Office was contemplated
was previous to the appointment, when
he called on President Roosevelt. who
told him that he would be glad to
have him tMr. Plles) wire Mr.. Bal
hager because, he said. Mr.. Garfield.
who had been a schoolmate of Mr..
Ballinger. was most anxious to obtain
his services. Mr.. Piles sent the tele-
Il ldlIl, ic Sdid. DuS SApASSSCu liz pO1ASh
that Mr.. Ballinger would not accept.
HE asked me to urge him strongly"
continued Mr.. Piles, because he said
he really needed such a man in that
Office
Mr.. Piles said that Ballinger at first
declined, but that, as he understood
it. after both President Roosevelt and
Mr. Garfield pleaded with Mr.. Bal
linger by wire to accept, he did so.
These are the facts, absolute facts,
and they would be verified by Mr..
Roosevelt under OATH" asserted the
Senator.
In respect to the appointment of Mr.,
Ballinger as Secretary of the Interior
by President Taft Mr.. Piles stated
that when he heard about it he asked
Mr.. Ballinger if he wanted the place,
and he replied that he did not, eS-
planning, as Mr.. Piles asserts, that he
hoped his friend, Mr. Garfield. would
be reappointed Subsequently, he
heard of Balhnger's appointment. al
though he said that neither he nor
his colleague. Senator Jones' had been
consulted about it. Mr. Piles added
that he was gratiied then and is still
gratif1ed over Ballinger's appointment.
Mr.. Piles concluded with the states
ment that the President himself would
verify all that he (Mr. Piles) had
said.
