"Rack Dating" Explained.

takes up the question of the back
dating Of Attorney Wicker
sham's summary of the Claws charges
to which Attorney Louis D. Brandeis
has drawn attention. Mr.. Taft says
that the attorney-generals letter was
in fact "back Dated" and that this
also was done by his specific direction
because time did not permit embody-
ing the attorney-general's analysis and
notes In the opinion. He therefore
directed him to embody in a written
statement such analysis and conclu-
sions as he had given, file it with
the record and date 1t prior to the
date of the opinion, to show his de-
cision was fortified by his summary
OF the evidence and of his conclusions

letter Of September 13, 1909, exoner-
ating Secretary Ballinger, was sub
stantially prepared for the Presidents
signature by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Lawler. of the Interior Depart
ment
Kerby asserted also that Ballingei
himself reviewed and revised his own
letter OF exoneration before the draft
went to the President and that all OF
the preliminary drafts used in the
preparation of the letter were burned
in crate in the Interior Department
as the suggestion and under the sup
ervision of Don A. Carr, Mr.. Balm

II was further pointed out, both at
the White House and by Attorney
General Wickersham, that a compari-
son Of the Lawler draft and the Presi-
dents letter would show that the in
ference of the Kirby statement was
unwarranted.
Mr.. Wickersham alluded to the prac-
tics common in the Government de
partments Of subordinates preparing
letters and documents for the consid-
Grafton of their superiors and their
use by them in whole or in part as
they might see fit.
Almost simultaneously with the pub
lication Of the Kerby statement Attor-

to Chairman Nelson, in which Mr..

ceived 1t he found, he says, that it
was not what he wanted to issue,
and he wrote the letter himself in
