Seattle.
Washington. Feb. 15.-To ascertain
whether or not l.. f. CLAWS, the ac
cuser of Secretary Ballinger, WAS the
Victim of 'frameup" In connection
with tho finding OF various missing
official papers, Attorney Vertrees
counsel for Balllnger. requested to-
day that subpoenas be issued forthwith
Tor A, Christensen, CLAWS successor.
and G. w. O'Neill Of Seattle.
Washington. Feb 15.-In striking
contrast TO the lively interest of yes
terday. the proceedings today In the
Balllnger-Pinchot investigation were
dull Mr.. Vertress, counsel for Sec
rctary Ballinger, continued his cross
examination of Louis R CLAWS. In
order for him TO frame some of his
questions, IL was necessary to first
wade through mass OF documentary
evidence. and this process consumed
much time.
The committee was in executive
session forty minutes. discussing the
adYlsability at this time Of report
alleged discovery among Claws ef
fects Of twenty-four letters which had
been missing from the official files
of the land Office there. No decision
was announced.
Subpoenas werc Issued. however,
for a Christensen. chief of the field
division In Seattle. and also @. O'Neil.
assistant custodian of the federal
building. where the boxes belonging
to CLAWS were stored.
The list OF prospective witnesses
are increasing daily. indicating that
the inquiry will be extensive.
Mr. Fertrees questioned Mr. CLAWS
about the memorandum he assisted In
preparing, on which Assistant Secre-
tary Pierce rendered construction of
the new coal land OF May, 1898. Mr..
CLAWS testified yesterday that this
opinion. TO his mind, showed Mr..
Pierce to be unfit for his office,
MIR Nertrees sought to show that
the Cunningham claimants. having de-
cided to stand for patents under tho
old law. were specifically excluded
from consideration In the Pierce opin-
lon The attorney also sought to show
that Attorney General Wickersham did
not oyerrule Mr.. Pierce. but substan-
tally sustained him in every essential
particular.
All Mr. CLAWS would admit In this
connection was that he certainly did
not intend TO exclude the Cunningham
claims from consideration. and that
may have construed the law as Mr.
Pierce did, the witness did not think
so.
But you condemn Mr. Pierce on
your construction of the law"
Yes sir"
The morning session had not pro-
ceedcd far when Mr.. Nertrees and tho
witness had another clash. The attor-
ney wanted direct answers; CLAWS
wanted 20 explain every answer. Mr..
Vertreas once arose with;
III your honor please then he cor
rcctcd himself by saying:

is give as many and as long eXplann-
