tee Orders Clerk to Seized
ule Same.

Washington, Feb. 5.-An unexpected
session Of the Ballinger-Pinchot congress
sional investigating committee was held
this morning, following the receipt from
the Interior department of two bundles
of documentary evidence called for by Mr..
Brandeis, the attorney representing Louis
Il. CLAWS.
Mr.. Brandeis had complained yesterday
Of the delay of the interior department
in forwarding these papers and the COM
mittee decided this morning to dispose of
them at once by fixing rules under which
they could be examined by counsel.
Following an executive session of an
hour, Chairman Nelson announced that
the committee had adopted a resolution
providing that the papers should remain
in the custody of the clerk, who should
make a separate schedule Of them and
allow the attorneys to inspect them in his
presence so as TO determine which should
be offered in evidence.
Mr.. Brandeis remarked that he had but
a few hours to remain In the city, and
would like to begin inspection of the pa
pers at once. Chairman Nelson said it
would be necessary for the clerk first to
make the schedule. Senator Flint, how
ever, Offered compromise by suggest
ing that as fast as the papers were
scheduled they should be turned over to
the attorneys. This was agreed TO, but
it was announced that the attorneys alone
should have access to the papers and that
no one else would be permitted in the
room while they were examining them.
Mr.. Brandeis said he would have to be
absent from the city on February 10 and
II, and suggested that the hearing might
go over until Monday, the 18th. The COM
mittee, however, adhered to its purpose
to resume hearings Friday, the 18th.
The brief session today was marked by
two interesting incidents, Clifford Pinchot
making his first announcement in the
case and John J. VeTtTees Of Nashville
making his first appearance as chief
counsel for Secretary Ballinger.
Mr.. PinchOt asked that Nathan A.
Smythe of New York be added to the list
of counsel as his personal representative
and that he be permitted to examine the
papers.
Representative DENLY questioned Mr.
PinchOt as to what angle of the case his
testimony would be directed.
THE story I have to tell" replied Mr.
Pinchot. lis my connection with conser-
walton"
And that includes the Alaska coal

Some Doubts Exist.

Premier Asquith can count on ma
jOrity for the curtailment of the house
of lords vote, for in this, the Nation
alists and doubtless the independent
Nationalist, too, will be with the gov
eminent.
On the budget, however, the attitude
of the NatiOnalists is still uncertain.
Mr. Redmond has not committed him
self beyond giving out his cable cor
respondence with NJ. J. Ryan, national
president Of the United Irish league of
America, but many members of the
party strongly oppose the clauses i'm
posing whiskey duties, and. If they
do not vote against them, would, in
their own political interest, have to abb
stain from voting.
William O'Brien, who heads the in
dependent Irish members, has made
his intended attitude clear in a letter
saying:
There is no doubt that the Irish
party contemplates the blacklist trea-
son perpetTated against Ireland since
the act of union. The NatiOnalists
propose to assist the government in
passing the budget which win impose

Opinion Of the Moderates.

Views of the mOderates are thus ex-
pressed by Sir Edward Grey, foreign
secretary:
NO reform of the house Of lords can
be real reform unless it provides for
the abolition Of the hereditary prin-
ciple and the substitution of popular
elections"
The Spectator follows this up with
a suggestion that the upper house be
modelled after the American Senate,
the house to consist of 200 members
chosen under a system of proportional
representation from equal electoral
areas.
Meanwhile, the Unionists, with the
exception of a few peers, who, under
no circumstances would find a plaCe-in
the reformed chamber, are practically
unanimous for a change in the consti-
tuition OF the house of lords.
Many schemes are being put forward.
the most popular probably being that
embodied in the report OF the Rose
berry committees, which provides for
the election by the hereditary peers
Of 200 members of their own number,
together with 100 peers qualified by
service to the nation, ten bishops five
judges and forty life peers.

British Liberals Have No Def

Power of the Lords or Abol-
ishing the Upper House.
RADICAL ACTION is
POPULAR WITH SOME
Others Desire to Settle the
Budget Question First and
FOremoSt-Even UnioniStS
Favor Measure of Reform.
PEERS NOT WITHOUT HOPE

London, Feb. 5.-Of even greater
interest than the possible changes in
the cabinet, is the course the govern
ment is likely to pursue upon the
reassembling of parliament.
Premier Asquith has kept his own
counsel and the views of the Liberals
vary according to their shade of rad
icalism.
Extreme Liberals strongly favor an
immediate attack upon the veto
power of the House of Lords, leaving
the budget and all other legislation
until the party has settled its ac-
counts with the peers. The Irish
members, too, are believed to support
this view.
More moderate Liberals are urging
the government first to introduce the
budget which the lords, accepting the
result of the election as an indOrse-
ment OF the governments financial pol
icy, are already pledged to pass.
On the question of the future status
OF the house of lords, opinions diff
fer almost as widely. LabOrites and
extremist radicals are for the absolute
abolition of the upper chamber which
hardly comes within the peer view of
practical policies. Another section of
the ministerialists demands the aboIf-
ton of the lords right of vote on
financial legislation and the curtail-
ment Of their vote in other legisla-
ton.
