COMMISSIONER LEIGH
BROUGHT DOWN A PEG
Montanan, Who Made Charges
Against Ba|Iinger's Of
flee, Apologies.

B. c. Leech, ST., commissioner of the
United States court at Waller, Mont, 1t
was said at the Interior Department Of
fees today, has learned that it is not
compatible with the dignity of a federal
officer to make reckless and groundless
charges against other federal officials.
November IL, 1910, he wrote to the
President regarding a contest in which
he was involved with adverse claimants
to certain public lands which he desired
to possess in the Great Falls land district,
Montana. In his letter he alleged that
the attorney at Washington, whom he
did not name, for his opponent in the
contest. has great influence with the
general land Office" and that to secure
prompt and fair action in that Office it
was necessary for him to have the in
fiuence of the President.
Letter Referred to Ballinger.
The President referred the letter to Sec
rotary Ballinger, who called upon Mr..
Leech for details regarding the alleged
great influence. Mr.. Leech, it is declared,
replied evasively, indicating that he had
no facts upon which to base the charge
made.
The matter was laid before the Depart
ment of Justice and. February II Judge
Carl Rasch in the United States district
court for Montana cited Mr.. Leech to
appear before him charged with conduct
unbecoming an officer of the United
States.
MIR. Leech madeapology to the court
for the language he used and was inform
ed that he would not be further punished
if he wrote a letter of apology to all con-
cerned. Under date of February p, he
wrote an apology to the President and
another to Secretary Ballinger.
In the letter to Secretary Ballinger Mr..
Leech says that at the time he wrote his
original letter L did not fully appreciate
the full Importance of the statements
contained in my letter, neither did l have
any evidence in my possession or within
my knowledge to substantiate my state
ments."
