CALLS EVIDENCE FALSE.
DR.. Cleveland Denies Aliens Quo
tation of Mrs. Hartman.

DR. Frederick \ Cleveland. director
OF the Bureau Of Municipal Research.
gave out yesterday the copy OF a letter
sent by him To- Frank T.. Walsh, chair
man OF the Industrial Relations Com
mission, bearing ON Dr. Aliens charge
that the bureau had been unduly in
fluenced by Mr. Rockefeller. The letter
said:
"In view Of the reports OF Mr. Aliens
testimony In to-day's newspapers re-
hectng on the management Of the Bu-
reau OF Municipal Research | beg to ask
that the bureau DE provided with an
official transcript Of his testimony ~
well as the testimony of any others hav-
ing similar import.
Your commission In the exercise of
powers conferred ON It by the Federal
Government has chosen To put MIR Cut
ting and me In the position of making
answer 20 inuendocs and questions that
imply a belief that we and our assoc
ciates have been 'hought and are no
longer worthy of public confidence.
lou ha,- waited until after uui ,rsi-
mony was submitted on indefinite and
implied charges 10 put your special
agent Mr.. Allen, on the stand You
know that Mr. Allen had bias and
your commission has actually employed
him for weeks with public authority TO
ransack private offices for materials to
support his preconcelved conclusions.
You have put him on the stand in the
afternoon OF the last day OF your hear
ings in New York thus giving no OPP
portunty 10 answer publicly direct state
ments which are false and misleading.
Therefore | ask that this letter he read
into your record as a protest against
such use of the inquisitorial powers of
the Federal Government, and | also ask
on behalf OF the bureau that 1t be given
an opportunity to file an answer.
"As an illustration Of the kind Of state
ments to which | refer | quote from a
report in the public press an alleged
conversation between Mr. Allen and
Mrs. Il. N. Hartman. In which Mrs.
Hartman is represented as having said
concerning Mr. Rockefeller: Nothing
has ever made me realize as does this
what grasp money has on this coun-
try Who Is this man, and what has
he ever done To Justify his telling the
Bureau OF Municipal Research what II
may or may not do? What has he ever
done for New York that makes him
the proper Judge OF our work, and what
Is his paltry $4,000 toward our pro-
gramme"
at does not appear that Mr. Allen
told the commission that Mrs. Hartman
was abroad during the period of the
controversy under discussion, that the
only information Mrs Hartman could
have had AT the time of the alleged
expression from her came from Mr.
Allen that when Mrs. Hartman he,
came more fully Informed she voted for
his retirement The further
fact that Mrs Hartman is still a
trustee OF the bureau and an active
worker in 1t would be inconsistent with
Mr. Aliens Interpretation OF her state
ment that Mr. Rockefeller unduly ia
fiuenced the policy of the bureau as
Mr. Allen alleges.
