BELLINGER WAS
DENIED HEARING
IN LAND OFFICE
Secretary of Interior Admits
Having Been Barred From
Appearing for Claimant
Committee Will Ask Oscar Law*
ler to Produce Paper Taken
to President
WASHINGTON, May 10.— The exist
ence of rulings in the interior depart
/ment, which BalHnger must have vio
lated in appearing before JLhe general
land office in behalf of the Cunning
ham coal claimants after his retirement
as land commissioner, was brought out
by -Attorney Brandeis in cross exami
nation of the secretary of the interior
in the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation
today.
Brandeis secured an admission from
Ballinger that he had been barred from
appearing before the land office by a
similar ruling in another case subse
quent to his activity In the Cunning
ham cases, and prior to his becoming
secretary of the Interior.
Ballinger said that he had not called
these rulings to the attention of the
president to assist him in reaching a
conclusion on the Glavis charge be
cause he did not think there was any
law to sustain them.
REQUEST FOR PAPER GRAXTBD
The committee decided to grant the
request of Attorney Brandeis that
Oscar Lawler, assistant attorney gen
eral for the interior "department, be
asked to furnish the original or copies
of the memorandum he prepared for
the president last September and which
Brandeis has intimated the president
followed in writing his letter vindicat
ing Ballinger and dismissing JL. R.
Glavis. By unanimous vote the com
mittee refused to ask the president for
similar information.
Brandeis had almost concluded the
cross examination of Ballinger when
the hearing was adjourned untft Thurs
day. He devoted practically the entire
day to the subject of the "clear listing"
of the Cunningham claims by Com
missioner Ballinger, to show extraordi
nary haste had been made to rush the
claims to patent and that Glavis' reit
erated protests alone^had caused Bal
linger to pause.
WOMAN DEFEXDS BRANDEIS
During an exchange of amenities be
tween Chairman Nelson and Attorney
Brandeis_Jji the course of a wearisome
afternoon one of the women spectators
rebuked the former because he under
too to discipline the Inquisitor for
"snapping" at members of the commit
tee.
"Tou can insult witnesses, but you
can't insult the committee," said Nel
son hotly, addressing Brandeis.
"You can't insult him, either," inter
rupted the lawyer's fair feminine de
fender, whose. Identity was hidden be
hind a solid row of ch&ntecler hats.
Senator Nelson was too surprised to
answer. So was Braudeis. And thus
harmony was restored-
CLASH OVER SENATOR TILES
A spirited controversy among mem
bers of the committee was precipitated
by Brandeis asking Ballinger if he had
not heard it stated in a most public
manner by Samuel H. Piles that Charles
Sweeney, one of the Cunningham
claimants and president of the Federal
smelting company, a subsidiary com
pany of the Guggenheim syndicate, had
been instrumental in his (Piles') elec
tion as United States senator.
Senator Sutherland objected to Bran
deis "dragging a senator into this in
vestigation." He said that the commit
tee had not been authorized to investi
gate a senator.
Brandeis explained that he had no
desire to reflect on Piles other than to
show that he had been the instrument
in tlfe hands of the powerful interests
of the northwest to bring about- the
selection of a man for commissioner of
the land office who held different views
on Alaskan matters from Secretary
Garfield. . .. .
COMMITTEE BARS QUESTION
Chairman Nelson put the question to
a vote and by a party vote of 2 to 4
the committee decided that Ballinger
should not be allowed to answer the
question.
Ballinger had previously admitted
that as a matter of common rumor in
Seattle he had heard that he had taken
an active part in Piles' election. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 .
Brandeis read a transcript of an ar
ticle published in a Seattle newspaper
in January, 1905, -iust after Piles' elec
tion as senator. It told of a celebra
tion held in a Seattle hotel and Jater
at a social club, in which Ballinger,
then mayor; E. E« Todd, United States
district attorney at Seattle; H. C. Heney
and C. J. Smith, two of the Cunningham
claimants, participated.
Piles was quoted" as saying In a
speech on that occasion that "I owe my
election to Charles Sweeney. He made
me senator." District Attorney Todd
was quoted as saying:
"We are all Sweeney men now."
Ballinger said that he had some rec
ollection of the celebration, but that he"
had attended simply in his capacity as
mayor and did not recall and did not
intend to attempt to recall -what was
said on that occasion.

Piles wired/me urging me to accept. '; I
accepted only on the urgent request of
President Roosevelt and Secretary Gar
field; and then only after -a full con
sideration of what I conceived a public
duty.": - ...: \u25a0
Ballinger said theCunnlngham claims
were -clear listed by him; on the
strength, of records .before him and
that on the same records,^ as he - said
before, he would clear list them again.
When Brandais asked if .he had not
assumed that the necessary] examina
tion had been made Ballinger retorted
hotly:' \u25a0 ..'\u25a0; * "\u25a0\u25a0.—*.. ,\u25a0' -\u25a0'\u25a0:- \u25a0-' \- : •'•\u25a0 \\
"All of your efforts throughout this
hearing have been to besmirch • my
character by trying to show some
devilish inspiration, back my ac
tions. The fact that: I knew some of
these, claimants had nothing to do
with ;'my action. Those who have
known me In -every office I have ever
held know it would have made.no dif
ference to me whether they were
friends or- strangers."
COMMITTEE , UPHOLDS WITNESS
The committee decided, by a \ party
vote, that Ballinger had answered
sufficiently.
Passing; on to Glavis' telegram an
nouncing that the claims should not be
clear listed- and questioning Ballinger
as to his reasons for holding them up,
Brandeis Inquired: ..
"Wasn't It a fact that you didn't
'Jare to let the Cunningham claims; go
forward to patent, In view of Glavis'
attitude?"
"No, I wasn't afraid of Glavis or
anybody else. , Glavis never produced
anything but suspicion and I was
merely exercising reasonable caution."
ACCOMMODATION AS LAWYER .
I Brandeis -asked Ballinger about his
connection during the Interim with
several companies that had cases be
fore the- land office. "In all of these
cases, Ballinger said, he represented
the companies purely out of accommo
dation, as It belonged to that class of
business his firm- did not care to de
velop, o \u25a0-,\u25a0.-
Reading a letter written;, by Ballin
ger as the representative of .the Han
ford irrigation company, -in which he
had used the term, "we," Brandeis
asked the witness about his relations
with that company.
"I .have no hesitation in- saying,"
said the secretary, '"that I had $2,000
worth of stock in the company. I. have
since disposed of it." f~ " V
"Why did you not so state during
your direct examination?" inquired
Brandeis. -.' \u25a0 , .
"Because I did not think of it and
did not think It cut any figure, and
don't think so now."

The prayer which she taught her chil
dren, according to Reed, was, "Dear
devil, grant that my children my hate
their father as I hate him."
Reed himself caused several violent
commotions in Judge Cabaniss' court
room during the hearing, several times
breaking Into hysterical tears and once
jumping from his chair and choking
Mrs. Reed's attorney, J. J. Dunne, until
separated by Judge Cabaniss and sev
eral court attaches. For' the latter
display of temper he was fined for con
tempt of court.
Mrs. Reed was not in court yesterday
when the decision denying her petition
for divorce was given, but Reed was
present and listened to the reading of
the judgment with, evident pleasure.
Comment by Court
In summing up the case Judge Ca
baniss said: Cv. *
"I have no desire whatever to criti
cise Mrs. Reed, whose conduct, every
thing considered, has been in the high
est degree exemplary, yet I can not
but feel that her^husband's aloofness
finds some justification because of her
frequent and sometimes unduly severe
upbraidings, as illustrated in some of
her letters and also by her admissions
upon the witness stand. Some very
harsh epithets were hifrled by her at
her husband, and had she used a little
more wifely tact their troubles might
not have reached the divorce court.
It if unforunate indeed that so serious
an estrangement should have -arisen
between husband and wife who had
found- it poajible to live in conjugal
harmony so many years, and It Is to
be hoped, not alone for their sakes
but for the sakes of their children,
that they may yet be reunited."
