Mr. Vertrees:
What else?"
Mr. Plnohot:
'I never discussed the Cunningham caaea
with Mr. Balllnger. The only knowledge
I hare at first hand la limited to writ
ings that are not disputed."
Questioned as to the reprimand he rave
Assistant Law Officer Shaw and Assistant
Forester Price, Mr. Plnchot admitted that
"at heart" he approved of the motives of
the two In doing what they dirt, but did not
approve of their method of doing It. .
Mr. Plnchot denied that either he or any
of Ills people owned stock In the Poca
hontas Coal eompnny.
"The fa-nlly has aome stoek In a coal
company tn Illinois," he added, "but I
have rnr."
Fairly Friendly with Balllnger.
Mr. Plnchot said thai up to the time he
sent Olavls to President Taft the relations
between himself and Mr. Balllnger had
bten "fairly friendly, not mora than that."
He was not more friendly beoause he
knew Mr. Balllnger'a views as to conserva
tion were different from his own.
"Then you were unfriendly?"
"No. I distrusted him." '
"Yon mean distrusted his polloiesT" '.
"I distrusted his policies and what he
would do." ' '
"Bo, Mr. Plnohot," said Mr.' Vertrees,

PEOPLE'S
you can olte against Mr. Balllnger, of your
own knowledte is the letter of November
15 to the president T"
. "I said I expected to prove some of the
things I charged by other witnesses."
Referring to his testimony that Mr. Bal-
Hnger aa commissioner of the land office
protested against the creation of the Chu-
gach forest in Alaska In which aome of the
Cunningham claims are located, Mr. Pln
chot said he had never read Mr. Ballln
ger'a letter of protest and did not know
what reasons he gave.
Sara Balling la Hoatlle.
Mr. Vertrees:
"Don't you think It would have been only
fair to have read It before submitting It
htre with the Inferencea that might be
drawn from your testimony T"
Mr. Plnchot:
"My knowledge of Mr. Balllnger'a posi
tion was based on an Interview with him
In Mr. Garfield's office and I understand
it to be hostile to what we have since come
to call oonervatlon,"
Mr. Plnchot declared that while the letter
of protest had been on file with the com
mittee for aome time, a regulation of the
committee permitting counsel only to ex
amine the documents had prevented his
reading It
A long discussion ensued as to the 'modi
fication of the rule, but the matter waa put
over for decision In. executive session.
Attorney Brandels arose to remark the
order of the committee had worked a great
hardship on counsel.

he plainly understood counsel to agree
Ith the committee as to t!.e propriety nf
the course derided up, Mr. Brandels ek!
he made his statement with no purpose
of criticising the committee.
Attorney Vertrees sought to question the
witness further aa to way he had not read
the letter, but waa stopped by the com
mittee. Mr. Plnchot was asked to read the letter.
When he had concluded, Mr. Vertrees
iskedt l-.T'TJ,'t'v.'
"Does that letter Indicate hostility (o the
general policy of conservation?
"In my judgment It does."
"Point out a single statement to that
effect." ,
' Mr. Plnchot said It was Impossible to
make Judment on a single statement. The
whole thing had to be taken together.
The witness was asked If It was not
known when Mr. Garfield withdrew the
huge tracts of lands for water power sites
that nine-tenth of the lands so withdrawn
were not needed and would have to be re
stored.
Mr. Plnchot said he did not know the ex
act figures. He would not admit that the
large withdrawals were more than Deces
sary, however.
The withdrawals were made large be
cause there had not been time to make a
proper Investigation.
Haaarer Statlewa for Power Sites.
The wltnees frankly stated that it had
been hla policy to withdraw lands tor forest
ranger stations when they were not needed
for that purpose, but were withdrawn to
protect possible power sites.
"So that was your poHcy and Secretary
Garfield's?"
"Yes. and President Roosevelt's and Seo
retary Wilson's."
Mr. Vertrees spent some time with the
witness as to the charge that Mr. Balllnger
had deceived the president regarding an
opinion of the comptroller of the treasury
on the aubject of agreement between the
forestry service and Interior department
regarding Indian lands.
He brought out the fact that a copy of
the comptroller's decision referred to by
Mr. Balllnger had been sent to the presi
dent. "There la nothing here to show the presi
dent read that decision," declared Mr. Pln
chot, "and the unavoidable . Inference la
that Mr. Balllnger deceived the president
because the president said in hla letter to
Mr. Balllnger on September IS, Tour dec
lination to carry out the contract was made
necessary by a ruling' of the comptroller.' M
The witness contended that the decision
sent to the president did not cover the
co-operative agreement as to Indian lands.
Bellinger's Statement Fair.
Senator Flint asked the witness If the
statement submitted by Mr. Balllnger In
regard to the co-operative agreement was
not a fair one and If the papers submitted
were not all that should have been sub
mitted. "I know of no other documents that
should have been sent."
"And the statement was a fair one?"
"Pretty fair from Mr. Balllnger'a point
of view." r
Attorney Pepper:
"But is there anything In the statement
to show that the comptroller continued to
pass accounts under the agreement?"
Mr. Plnchot: -
"No. And I understand that within the
last two weeks he , has approved some of
these accounts."
Mr. Vertrees, in reply to questions from
members of the committee and to clear up
a misunderstanding, stated that the r.o-.
operative agreement whloh Mr. Balllnger
voided was one by whloh Indian office em
ployes had been placed under the absolute'
control of the forest service. ... . .,. . .. .,. ,
He said there had never been any qucs-'
tlon aa to the reimbursement of funds to
one department from another for services
rendered by that department It waa the
delegation of. authority 'and. control - to
which Mr. Balllnger called attention and
In which he believed himself to have been
upheld by the comptroller.
The luncheon recess here was ordered.
Meaning of Lore Letter.
Mr. Vertrees and Mr.. Plnchot spent
nearly an hour discussing the meaning of
a letter written by Special Agent Love con
cerning a talk with Mr. Balllnger. The
letter had previously been gone Into In
detail while Glavls waa on the stand.
The witness and the attorney could not
agree. Mr. Plnohot contending that the
letter constituted an. unfavorable report on
the Cunningham claims and Mr. Vertrees
contending that ft simply set forth the
fact that Love was calling attention to a
construction of law by Balllnger, whioh
waa more strict than the courts had held.
Mr. Vertrees spent some time with the
witness on the subject of the sending of
forest rangers to agricultural colleges,
aeeklng to show that Mr. Plnchot had
adopted this policy without the knowledge
or consent of Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. The men were sent to colleges in
large numbers, their salaries and expenses
being paid while there.
Mr. Plnchot said his "Impression" waa
that he had once spoken to Secretary Wil
son about the matter, but he waa not will
ing to awear to It.
Letters Head Into Record.
Mr. Vertrees read a letter addressed by
Secretary Wilson to the comptroller of the
treasury, saying he had earned of the
plan of sending the rangers to college
after Mr. Plnchot had left the servloe.
The comptroller held the plan to be Ille
gal. Mr. Plnchot said he thought the subject
had been erroneously presented to the
comptroller. Thereupon Mr. Vertrees put
the whole correspondence between the
comptroller and the secretary into the
records.
Adjourn em ant was taken until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.

BRYAN WILL FORCE RPTION
(Continued from First Page.)
1908. No one can say with authority that
Mr. Bryan will stump the state for county
option, but from sources which are sup
posed to be reliable It Is predicted that
he will, and that In his talks he win urge
upon the voters in the democratic party
It is possible that Mr. Bryan will even
Insist that county option bS Inserted in the
democratlo state platform, and If he does
It is expected that a mighty fight will oc
cur in the democratic party, with the
usual result. '
Daklmaa Openly Opposed.
So far Mayor Dahlman Is the only dem
ocratlo candidate for governor who has
announced his opposition to the Bryan
liquor program. Governor Shallenberger has
not yet endorsed county option, being con
tent to stand on the 8 o'clock closing law.
But by those who pretend to know and
without the facts being - from official
sources. It Is said that those who are for
the Bryan program will not be content
with an endorsement of the 8 o'clock clos
ing law.
The candidate for the democratlo nomi
nation for governor who receives the sup
port of this element of the party must
declare that he will sign a county option
bill.
The excuse offered by the Douglas sen
ators in the matter of the initiative and
referendum' that they would not promise
to vote for a bill they had never seen, it
la said, will not avail a candidate for gov
ernor on the democratlo ticket. The bill Is
to be prepared in advance and it is said
it will be ready to show to ths canddates
and the public in the near future. This
will force the candidate to say yes or no.
Six" from Douglas Connty.
Among the members of the legislature
who signed the pledge or pledged them
selves to vote for the initiative and refer
endum If the governor would call the extra
session of the legislature weer six mem
bers from Douglas county.
The three senators wrote they would not
vote for a bill whloh they had not seen,
but that after seeing the proposed law they
might change their minds. That Is as far
as they were committed.
Those who pledged themselves to vote
for the bill the governor desired were Con
nolly, Shoemaker, Butt, Howard, Holmes
and Boland. The last named did not sign
the paper, though as spokesman for him,
Mr. Connolly Said Boland had given his
pledge. Thomas, Stoeckur and Kraus re
fuBed to sign.
All of which Is said to be a matter of
record in the office of the governor.
