P|NCHOT DEFENDS
COLLEGE WORK

Washington, D. c., Jan. 26.-Anoth-
er chapter of the Ballinger- Pinchot
row is about to be written in a forth
coming reply from Clifford Pinchot to
the charge that the forestry bureau,
during his administration, paid the
college expenses of forest rangers in
the west when they took courses in
forestry work Close friends of Mr..
PinchOt intimate that he will not per
nit the finding of the auditor for the
department Of agriculture against this
expenditure to go unchallenged
1t is not denied, it is understood
that some such expenditure, amount
ing to about $4,000, was incurred,
but in eXtenuation it is said that the
forestry service took this expense
sum to save the cost of bringing it's
rangers to Washington for instruction
and that the total cost of their train
ing in the forest schools nearer home
was less than it would have been had
they been brought to Washington.
1t is strongly intimated by some of
Mr. Pinchot's friends that if the gov
eminent persists in holding this ex-
penditure to be illegal, Mr.. Pinchot
may seek 20 reimburse the govern
meTlt out of his own pocket.
