Mclean Employees Assertions
Are Flatly Denied by Palmer

given the impression that Palmer
and others were getting Senator I'm
derwood and other prominent people
to help keep Mclean off the witness
stand.

Mr.. Palmer then was. asked about
the Southern Pacific land grant case

eral. He said President Wilson ap-
proved the decision. of the Depart
case.
Tells of Pinchot Attack.
This matter was taken up with the
President. the witness said, after Gift
ford Pinchot had attacked the de-
partment for its failure to act. All
the officials in the Department of Jus
tice handling the case recommended
against an appeal, he testified, and
solicitor General King told me he
would be ashamed to argue the case
in the Supreme Court
when the announcement was made
that the government wouldn't appeal
that case" Senator Dill went on. the
stock of the Southern Pacific Com
pany jumped IL per cent. didn't it?"
: II don't know" Palmer replied. It
never read stock reports"
Says Cost Small in Case.
Senator Dill suggested that the
value Of the lands concerned was
$421, 600, 900 odd, and that a government
appeal wouldn't have cost much.
Not much" said Palmer, lust a
few thousand dollars. But we had
to bring home proof as to the knowl-
edge of the Southern Pacific Com
pany that these lands were mineral.
That's my recollection after matter
of years."
Returning to the conversation you
had with Zevely," put in Senator
Walsh, democrat, Montana, tell us
about the obligation you thought
Fall and Sinclair were under to an
swer our questions"
TT was the question as to whether
Fall would have to tell where he got

planned II think Zevely said that

thought he would have to answer"
Senator Walsh then subjected
Palmer to vigorous gross-examina-
ton on the failure Of the Department
of Justice to appeal the Southern
Pacific land case. The senator de-
clared the government had won. a
similar case against the railroad on
the same set Of laws and facts. but
Palmer disagreed with him.
THE record will have to show" said
the witness. 81 don't remember the
facts now. I took the Judgment Of
the man who tried the case, and his
superiors in the Department of
Justice"
Senator Dill took the inquiry back
to Mclean, and the witness again
denied the correctness of certain Of
the Major kilograms about him.

Chairman Lenroot also took a hand
in challenging the wisdom of Palmer's
dismissal of the Southern Pacific pro-
ceedings.

matter" said Palmer.
Coming back to Mclean. Senator
Dill asked IL Mr.. Palmer had worked
with Wilton j. Lambert. another Nc
Lean attorney.
Majors kilograms are wrong again
IL they, say that Mr.. Palmer re-
turned. He added: 81 had no earthly
reason to doubt the truth of Mr.. Nc
Leans statement to me that he had
advanced 100000 to Fall and in pass
ing it on to this committee l was
not seeking in any way to deceive
the committee. 1t wasn't my word /:

Mr. Palmer said he had turned over
McLean's telegram about the 100000

without change

Chairman Lenroot asked il there
was any reason why Mclean had
brought Francis McAdoo into the
matter.
II don't know" Palmer said
Just before he was excused, after
being on the stand for an hour and
fifteen minutes. Palmer said in re-
Spouse to question, that he expected
a fee from Mclean. but he had not
been paid yet"
Schuyler Recalled.
The committee then recalled for
discrimination Karl c. Schuyler,
attorney for j. Leo Stack. one of the
Denver group. whose Teapot Dome
claims were bought in by Harry F.
Sinclair.
$50 far as Doheny and Stack were
conc erned in Teapot Dome" said Sem

sought lease. just as anybody might
have sought a lease, should the gov

THAT is right" replied Schuyler.

"Mr. Doheny. by his deal with the
Pioneer Company. eliminated himself

on.

Schuyler said.

the reply.
'"Stack saw Conspiracy"
Senator Walsh asked IL the Pioneer

spired' with II. +. Sinclair to aban-
don its claims, thus giving Stack
right to claim damages from Sin
clair.
Exactly" Schuyler replied.
THE Pioneer Company in other
words" Chairman Lenroot put In
sold to Mr.. Sinclair whatever right
1t had to get lease on the dome? "
You can put 1t that way. Schuyler
said. IF Mr.. Sinclair got this lease
in fair and orderly manner. Mr.:
Stack would have had no cause OF
action. 1t was MIR. Sinclair's associa-
tion with the Pioneer Company. Mr..
Stacks partner, which gave him the
cause to proceed.
From all the differences. the witness
added. II might well be concluded
that the conspiracy" was to defraud
Stack.

Pioneer Company had secret profits

When Mr. Schuyler was excused
Senator Dill asked that the commit
