Government.
James R. Garfield, former secre'
tarv Of the interior, was finally ex'
cused from the witness stand at the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigation late
Thursday afternoon. His ina nall
hour before the committee furnished
the sensation Of what had been up tt
that time a decidedly dull day.
Mr.. Garfield stated that r. Bal
linger, after having been commission
er of the land Office, submitted tc
him on September II, 1903, an
affidavit signed by Clarence Cunning
ham. containing the statement thai
tie Guggenheims had no interests
whatever in the Cunningham grouI
OF coal mines in Alaska, while as
matter of fact, the records of a re-
cent hearing before the senate com
mittee on territories show that prior
Il. the making of the affidavit tn

e.. an option on a half interest IN
al! the Cunningham claims.
Attorney Brandeis, who was ques'
itching Mr.. Garfield, followed VI
these declarations by reading from
Secretary Baliinger's report to Pres
ident Taft on September 4, last, con
c2rning the CLAWS charges, the state
ment that Mr.. Ballinger had suggest.
ed 10 Mr.. Cunningham ar amend
nient to an affidavit made prior to
the one which he presented to Sec
rotary Garfield in September, 1908,
and that Mr.. Cunningham made the
amendment by explaining in detail
what he meant yb certain terms used
in his former affidavit.
MI. Garfield said Mr.. Ballinger,
in giving him the affidavit left the
impression on him that his action
was entirely casual and that he had
been requested by friends In Seattle
to leave it on file or whatever it
might be worth. Mr.. Brandeis then
called attention to the fact that the
name Of Mr.. Ballinger's law firm
was printed on the backing Of the
affidavit.
The former secretary Of the in
terror was examined and cross-exam-
ined as to his administration Of the
Office which he gave up to Mr.. Bal
linger on March 5, 1909. Mr.. Gar
field, in explaining what he did In
the matter of the withdrawal OF
lands without specific provisions by
law. declared he was working in the
interests Of the people and to pre-,
vent monopolistic control Of power
sites and consequent extortionate
prices to the consumer.
The former secretary took issue
with Mr.. Ballinger as to certain
statements made by the latter in his
reply to President Taft regarding the
various charges made against him.
Mr.. Garfield said he could not re.
call any conference with Mr.. Balm
ger regarding the Cunningham coal
claims, although Mr.. Ballinger said
he had Immediately conferred with
