Moses and He1in
In Row Over Land
Frauds in Texas

washington, Aprll line senate
! committee investigating alleged land
| frauds in the Lower Rio Grande VAL
| ley of Texas encountered another
storm today when Chairman Moses,
Republican, New Hampshire, and
Senator Heflin. Democrat. Alabama,
| committee prosecutor, again clashed
| over procedure in the hearing. Sena-
tor Hefiin again threatened to take
his protest to the floor of the senate
and intimated that he might ask for
the appointment of IN entirely new
investigating committee.
Meanwhile. James r. Page, Kan
sas City, Mo-, attorney, who is aid
ing Senator Heflin in the investiga-
ton. and George A. Hill, Jr., of
Houston, Tex, attorney for r. B.
Creager, of Brownsville, Tex, who
was charged in the senate resolution
as having been implicated in. the
land fraud charges, have been direct
ed by the committee to inspect and
make summary of letters and
missionaries in the postoffice de-
partment files. This course was de-
termined on after numerous clashes
today over the reading of such docu-
ments into the record, in order to
time of postal officials who have been
attending.
Mr.. Hill objected successfully to
the continued Introduction of these
letters, written by persons who al
legged they were defrauded on the
ground that they contained state
ments not made under oath: that
there was mo opportunity for cross
examination: that they constitute
an attempt to align the postal au-
thorities on their side In furtherance
OF the civil suits of some Of Them"
and that many of them bear upon
their face the unmistakabIe evidence
of an inspired and studied scheme to
discredit transactions upon which
further payments were due" Sena-
tor Helm objected to Mr.. Hills eff
fort to block their Insertion in the
record.
Chairman Moses, in ruling on Mr..
Hills objection, said he. was willing
that Mr.. Page read such letters as
would present representative cases
but declined to have the committees
time taken up by unlimited reading
of letters piecemeal without ques-
tioning the witness. Chief Postal
Inspector Rush D. Simmons again
remained on the stand throughout
the session. Senator Heflin, dissent
ing strenuosIsly from this view, at
this point threatened to bring the
matter to the attention of the senate
and ask for the appointment of a
committee that would investigate"
When the verbal storm had abated.
Mr.. Page proceeded to read more let
tiers from the postoffice department
files. which he said, showed that
complaints Of fraud had been made to
the department by persons who were
''duped"
One was from Hans Olsen. of Kali
amaze Mich, who said he had
been taken on an excursion to the
Rio Grande valley in the summer of
1919 and shown show places"
