MAN WHO TOLD
is DISMISSED
BY BALLINGER
StenOurapher Who Gave
Away Secret Of Taft's Letter
Is Promptly 0usted.
KERRY SAYS He EXPECTED
SUCH ACTION
sssosaI BY Unstsd Press wirs.

SEectut w OHstSU ETOoS WHcs
Washington, May 16:-Frederick
M. Kerby was dismissed from the
government service today by a spec
ial delivery letter sent to his home
and signed by Secretary Ballinger.
The letter read as follows:
"Sir:
you are hereby discharged from
public service because you are un-
worthy to remain in it. Divulging
information obtained by you in the
confidential relation of stenographer
to the secretary of interior, in COM
municating that information to
those whom you are bound to know
are wrongfully seeking to bring re-
proaeh upon the administration and
to injure me, and In deliberately mis-
stating material facts as to what
you did treacherously communicate,
you show that you are unworthy and
unfaithful. The fact that your
treachery Is brutal cannot mitigate
the character of your offense For
the good of the service you are here
by dismissed.
Respectfully,
"R. A. BALLINGER."
After receiving the letter.. Kerby
said 1t was not unexpected, as he
realized when he issued his state
ment that the secretary would take
such action
The president admits frankly that he
requested Assistant Attorney General
Lawler Of the interior department to
write and prepare "an opinion as If he
were president"
The president acknowledges also that
he used some sentences Of this opinion
in his letter exonerating Secretary Bal
linger. With equal frankness the pres
ident says Attorney General Wicker
sham's analysis of the evidence in the
case was predated under his (the presi-
dent's) instructions, $50 as to show
that my decision was fortified by his
summary of the evidence and his con-
clusions therefrom."
The president makes it clear, how
ever, that he carefully reviewed all
the documents and evidence in the Bal
linger-P Pinchot case and had reached
an absolute decision that Mr.. Ballinger
was guiltless before he instructed AS
sistant Attorney General Lawler of
Mr.. Ballinger's Office to prepare a let
ter to be used as the basis of the Taft
exoneration. The president declares
that he adopted this course merely as
a means of saving time for himself.
He was rushed with work, and he had
indicated clearly to Lawler what he
wished contained In the letter. The
Lawler document, however, was unsat-
isfactory to Mr.. Taft, and he finally
dictated his own letter, using only a
few sentences of the Lawler memoran-
DUN.
If Kerby's statement is true, the de-
partment knew of the charges that he
was going to make about three hours
before the Lawler brief was produced
before the congressional investigating
committee as coming from the attor-
ney generals Office and which, the at
torney general explained, had been
overlooked by him in replying to ear
lier calls by the committee.

clared he would have nothing to say
until he takes the witness stand.

that he has never lost q penny because
of dishonesty since he put the women
in and he was never able TO prevent

All employers OF women bear testi-
