was under the impression that he had
left the request and phone number
verbally. That is the story, the cor
rect story, of the documents" alleged
to have been introduced by Mr.. Bran
deis as printed in the official record of
the investigating committee, page No.
1896, volume No. "a.
The charge against Chairman Nelson
is made cut of whole cloth. From time
to time during the progress of the in
quiry the chairman has asked questions.
So have the other A., nbers OF the COM
tempted to attack the witnesses Of
CLAWS or protect those of Secretary
Ballinger. The offense Of the chair
man, In the eyes Of Golfers, is that he
became weary of constant reiteration
and at one point in the cross-examina-
ton Of Behrens, interposed with the re-
mark: He has bee over that ground
once. He said he never made such
statement before" Such intersections
are common enough with judges upon
the bench and chairmen of committees
in Investigations like the one now going
on. If they did not interfere, cases at
law and congressional inquiries would
never be concluded. So for this slight
cause Senator Nelson is accused Of be-
ing biased in favor of Secretary Balm
ger.
1t is known that Mr.. Ballinger intends
to bring an action against Golfers for
libel on account of some Of the wicked
accusations that have appeared from
time to time in that publication. Evil
IDENTIFY for the purpose of poisoning the
public mind in advance of the trial of
this action, Golfers is now busily en-
gagged In the attempt to bring the wit
nesses who testify on behalf of Mr.
Ballinger and the members OF the
joint committee Of Congress into
disrepute. The attack upon Adolph !
Behrens and Chairman Knute Nell
son is bat part of general plan for
that purpose. Reputable journals are
content TO print the proceedings as they |
appear In the record without attempting |
to garble them. leaving to the commit |
tee the task Of weighing the evidence |
and bringing in their verdict
No one would deny Golfers or any |
other magazine the privilege of making |
editorial comment, but the truth should |
be published at all times and no at
tempt made to befog and bewilder the |
public by the printing of CARRIED ex-
tracts from the testimony with unfa-
vorable comment upon things which do /
not appear in the record.
Knute Nelson is well and favorably |
known throughout the country. and the
made by Golfers In his case
will prove harmless. The other mem
bers of the committee are also men Of
the highest integrity and honor. Let
them decide the question at issue with
out interference.

FALSIFYiNG THE RECORD.

The weakness of the testimony intro
duced by the so-called prosecution in
the Ballinger-P inchot controversy and
the strength of the evidence put in SO
far by the defense is generally admit
ted. 1t really was not necessary that
Mr.. Ballinger should have put any wit
nesses upon the stand at all except to
show up Louis R. CLAWS in his true
light. However, the secretary chose
to amplify his defense and let the Joint
committee decide the case upon its
merits. This will be done when the
testimony is all in. In the meantime
some of the muck-rakers are going out
side Of the printed record and attempt
ing to distort the sworn evidence Of
some of Mr.. Ballinger's witnesses. An
article in recent number of Golfers,
under the caption, Law" furnishes a
case in point. Adolph Behrens Of Seat
tie had been examined by Mr.. Vertrees
and turned over to Mr.. Brandeis for
cross-examination. The writer In Col
Hers charges that Mr.. Behrens was at
once caught by the attorney in a series
or misstatements, and makes use of the
following questions and answers:
Mr.. Brandsis-You are one of the claim
ants in the Hunt group?
Mr.. Behrens-I was
Mr.. Brandeis-And one of the claimants
IN the group against whose claims charges
or fraud were fOund2
Mr.. Behrens-No, sir.
Mr.. Brandeis-And a report of fraud
madef Is that not a fact?
Mr. Behrens-So sir; do not think that
Mr.. Braldeis--You do2
Mr.. Behrens-Yes, sir
Mr. Brandeis-You never have written
TO Mr.. bennett?
Mr.. Behrene-No, sir,
Mr. Brandeis-You are quite sure YOU
have not?
Mr.. Behrens-Quite sure.
That much is taken from the record
of the proceedings intact Instead of
giving what followed in full, Golfers
makes the bald assertion that "Mr.
Brandeis thereupon produced the docu-
meats proving that he had written to
bennett, as CLAWS had asserted, and
also that charges OF fraud had been
made. and proceeded TO lead him into a
trap. whereupon Nelson rushed at once
TO the rescue. being as energetic in
helping Baliinger witnesses as he was
in attacking -Ballinger witnesses"
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The documents" Mr.. Brandeis
produced consisted Of a single business
card which Mr.. Behrens had left at the
office Of Mr.. bennett. Upon this card
was penciled the phone number of Mr. |
Behrens ana request for a meeting
with H. r. Thompson. In his testi- |
mony Mr.. Behrens explained that he

HE PASSES OUT
PIE AS he HOLDS
OWN FUNERAL

SPRINGFIELD, O., Sept. 3.-The
folks of little Grape Grove have
not yet recovered from the unique
experience of attending the funeral
of a man who stood beside a newly
made grave in the hamlet cemetery
yesterday afternoon, preached his
own funeral sermon, and then
passed out pie, candy mad cigars to
the 500 persons he had invited to
witness the obsequies.
Francis Marion Buffenbarger, 6S,
playing the dual role of corpse and
master of ceremonies, marshaled
the mourners and led them to the
grave he himself had made of brick
and stone. After they had inspect
ed the burial plot. Buffenbarger
mounted a platform of his own con-
struction and made the funeral ora
ton. Following a few brief ad-
dresses by Borrowing friends, Buff
fenbarger cast aside all aspects OF
solemnity by announcing: Nov,
that the funerals over, let's have
some fun"
AS he passed out souvenirs and
refreshments, Buffenbarger invited
all present to attend his real flu
neral. 1T will be just like this,
he said, with no undertaken
around to make folks feel bad"

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Sept. 3.
One Of the most remarkable in
dustries that has been called to at
tention In this valley is that Of rails
ing sunflOwers. While this has not
reached any considerable proper
tions, the accidental results OBJ
tanned by o. L. Compton of this city
are little short OF marvellous, and
he will next year raise sunflowers
on more extensive scale.
Mr.. Compton brought to the Com
mercial club sample silk of sun
flower that was "a feet 10k inches
in height. This is probably the best
specimen in tina field, but is not the
result of any particular care. In
fact, none of the sunflowers were
given any care at all, the seed hav-
ing been sown broadcast and never
cultivated or irrigated.

JEERS WATSON
AND FA|NTS
(By United Press Leased WIre.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept g.
Friends of Thomas E. Watson are
today urging him to become indie
pendent candidate for governor
against Hoke Smith, following Wat
sons humiliation at the hands of
a pro-Smith audience which he ad-
dressed last night. Watson spoke
against Smith to an unruly audi
ence of 5000 persons, who booted
and jeered him so vigorously that
Watson lost his nerve and tainted.
Watson's friends today declare
that by making an independent hun
against Smith for governor he
probably would get large part of
the Brown support and his chances
for victory would be good.

strength, awhile, but it checked out
her little reserve. When the hem
orrhage occurred she and all her

ton and the doctor should have
known it and told her months be-
fore.
Now she wrote to the state board

Where can ! go to get well?' The
reply was. The great Christian
state of Indiana has not yet risen
to the mighty economy of saving
the lives of little mothers from con
sumption. At present the only
place you can go is grave. How
ever, the state will care for your
children in an orphans asylum
after you are dead and then in a
few years a special officer will be
paid to find home for them. But
save your life-never. That's a
cranky idea, for a member of the
Gath assembly said so. Besides,
said he, it isn't business. The
state cant afford It, p" so the little
mother died of the preventable and
durable disease, the home was
broken up and the children We're
taken to the orphan asylum.

SETTLERS CREATE AN
ENORMOUS TRAFFIC

That Montana is attaining the agri-
cultural growth and development it
richly deserves through its great pos
sibilities. not realized until recently
to its fullest extent. is shown by the
movement Of settlers through st.
Paul.
President Louis w. Hill Of the
Great Northern is vitality interested
in the development of Montana. He
was at the Union Depot recently
to see hundreds of settlers speeding
their way to Montana and other
western states. Train No. 3 left in
two sections, loaded with settlers and
colOnists bound for the west, mostly
for Montana.
Considering the fact that the day
was not homeseekers' day it was a re-
markable movement, but such is the
volume Of traffic westbound on other
special rates that the Great Northern
has given standing orders that the
Oriental Limited shall he equipped
with two or.three extra coaches daily.
Forecast of Big Movement.
The present movement through st.
Paul is indicative of the number
of settlers flowing into Montana for
several months. 1t forecasts still
heavier migration to Montana, as well
as to Minnesota and other western
states.
Some idea of the big movement to
the northwest may be gained from
the fact that the number Of entries at
