LAWLER PREPARED LETTER

Washington, d. c., May IA
hasty examination of the "Lawler
memorandum" produced before the
committee today by Attorney-Gen-
eral Wickersham, showed it to be
Identical in entire paragraphs, as
Attorney Brandeis claimed with the
letter of President Taft, exonerat-
ing Secretary Ballinger and dis
charging CLAWS.
Attorney Brandeis asserted that
the following paragraphs, with the
exception that Lawler's omitted the
date, are identical in both letters:
Mr. L. r. CLAWS called upon me
here and submitted a statement of
report relating to the conduct of the
interior department, particularly
with reference to the action of your
self, Assistant Secretary Pierce,
Land Commissioner bennett and
Chief H. H. Schwartz With reference
to the so-called Cunningham group
of coal land claims in Alaska.
"The great responsibility of A
cabinet position demands the selec-
ton therefor of men of highest char
acter and integrity. The possession
of these qualities as well of ability
and experience especially fitted you
to direct the affairs of the depart
ment OF the interior and warranted
your appointment as secretary.
"The duty owe to the country
to YOU and to myself requires that
any aspersions upon the proprlety OF
your acts or those OF your subordi-
mates be promptly met and carefully
considered, to the end that If justi-
fed a proper remedy may be applied
il not, that they may be publicly re-
futed."
In the last sentence OF the above
paragraph the Lawler draft reads
And If not that it may be square
ly, emphatically and publicly re
futed"
The presidents letter omits
"squarely and emphahcally. p
Through the other paragraphs as
Brandeis has alleged, the presidents
letter simply was a paraphrase Of
the Lawler draft.

ing an opportunity TO reopen the

ments and viii take it up as soon as

same line or route in the same direc-
tion, the shorter being included with
in the longer distance, or to charge
any greater compensation as a
through route than the aggregate Of
the local rates; but this shall not be
construed as authorizing any COM

act, to charge as great compensation
from a shorter as from a longer dis

Provided, however, that the inter

from it's knowledge or information, or
upon application, ascertain that the
circumstances and conditions of the
long haul are dissimilar to the cir
cumstances and conditions of the
shorter haul, whether they result
from competition by water or rail,
then it may authorize a common car
rier to charge less for the longer than
fer the shorter distance for the trans
portation of passengers; but in no
event shall the authority be granted
unless the commission is satisfied
that all the rates involved are just
and reasonable and not unjustly dis
criminatory or unduly preferential
nor prejudiciaf
"And provided further, that no
rates or charges lawfully existing at
the time of the passage Of this amen
datory act shall be required to be
changed by reason Of the provisions
of this section prior to the expiration
of. six months after the passage Of
this act, nor in any case where appli-
cation shall have been filed before the
