BALLINGER IS CONTRADICTED
CHIEF ENGINEER or REcLAMA-
TIoN SERVICE TEsTIFIEs.
Secretary Wanted Power sites Re-
stored Slowly So as Not to At
tract Public Attention.

Washington.-A. P. Davis, chief en-
gineer Of the reclamation service,
gave testimony before the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation Friday strongly
against Secretary Ballinger. He said
Mr.. Ballinger had directed him to go
slowly about restoring certain power
sites on public lands to the public do
main so as not to attract public at
tention.
Mr. Davis declared that in prepar-
ing lists Of lands to be restored Dy
Secretary Ballinger he felt that he
was acting under mandatory orders
from the secretary.
These lands had been withdrawn,
witness said, by Secretary Garfield for
the conservation Of water power sites.
Mr.. Ballinger, according to Davis,
repeatedly gave verbal orders that
lands so withdrawn should be pre-
pared for restoration, as their with
drawal had been in direct violation or
law and could not be sustained. NO
written orders, however. were ever
Issued
Mr.. Davis told in detail an inter-
view he had with Mr.. Ballinger at
his hotel in March last, in which he
criticised the conduct of the reclama-
ton service and declared illegal the
withdrawal of large areas Of power
sites.
Mr.. Pepper brought out the fact
that Mr.. Davis in making his recon-
mendations for restoration Of the land
withdrawn was acting upon the
mandatory order Of Secretary Bal
linger This mandatory order was
given orally by Mr.. Ballinger. OF his
own volition Mr. Davis said he would
have made no such recommendation
This evidence was of especial i'm
portance because Of the fact that Bal
linger in his defense to the president
stated that he acted in making these
restorations upon the recommendation
Of the reclamation service.
Washington.-James r. Garfield,
former secretary Of the interior. testi-
fed Thursday before the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation committee that
he did not believe the $50, 900, 900 bond
issue, recommended by President Taft
to congress, was necessary for the
proper forwarding Of irrigation work
In the west.
He said this in defense Of the coop
erative agreements he entered into
with water users associations and OF
the reclamation certificates" he is
sued in evidence Of work performed
and which came to be known as Gar
field currency"
Mr.. Garfield said Attorney General
Wickersham and President Taft did
not have the proper facts before them
when they reached opinions adverse
to the legality of the reclamation GER
tificates, the use of which was stopped
by Mr.. Ballinger.
