BALLINGER PINCHOT
ARGUMENTS CLOSE
Controversy Is Terminated So
Far as Open Hearings
Are Concerned
LAWLER EATS HUMBLE PIE
Assistant Attorney General Ad
mits He Was Mistaken Re
garding Writer Connolly
[Associated Press]
WASHINGTON, May 28.—The Bal-
Hnger-Pinchot Investigation ended to
flay in a blaze of verbal fireworks.
The oratorical efforts closed the open
hearings and the attorneys who have
engaged In the case will now prepare
briefs for submission to the commit
tee, which will meet June 11 to receive
them.
Before tiio speeches began Repre
sentative McCall of Massachusetts,
presiding in the absence of Chairman
Nelson read a letter from Assistant
Attorney General Oscar Lawler, under
date of today, retracting his state
ment before, the committee reflecting
on C P. Connolly, a magazine writer.
What he had testified about Mr. Con
nolly's lett.r. read to the committee
yesterday, he Judged he had been mis
informed. He said he did not intend
to do any- wrong to Mr, Connolly, and
took that method of making public
retraction.
Mr. Connolly instituted suit for $.0,
--000 damages for slander against Law
ler yesterday in the supreme court or
the 'District of Columbia.
Attorney Vertrees, speaking: for Bal
linger, consumed the greater portion
of the day in concluding his argu
ment. He was most bitter in his de
nunciation of former Secretary Gar
neld and former Chief Forester Pin
, hoi who, he said, conspired to ac
complish the removal of Mr. Ba. -
linger from public life because his
was an administration of "law and not
of man."
CALLS OPPONENTS NAMES
11.. said Pinchot had been credited
with a "loftiness of purpose he does
not deserve," and insinuated that he
would "scruple at nothing to carry
out his purposes and plans.
Former Secretary Garfield was de
nounced as a "disappointed office
seeker," who knew that, 'once
stripped of his saddle he would find
himself a mere pony," while Mr. Pin
chot was characterized as a small
'possum up a very big tree."
He referred to the twenty-six miss
ing letters found In (Mavis' box at
Seattle as evidence of the tactics pur
sued by Bellinger's enemies, asserting
they Intended to charge Balllnger with
concealing them If they were called
for and not produced.
Mr Vertrees Bald the stir that had
been raised over the Lawler memor
anda was merely an Indirect attack
on the president, and that the presi
dent had fully and frankly explained
the circumstances under which that
document was prepared.
In beginning his reply Mr, Pepper,
the attorney for Pinchot, declared It
was a "wholly baseless charge that
Garfield's opposition to Ballingor had
been inspired by any feeling of disap- j
pointment at not having been retained
in the Taft cabinet. He said if that
were so Mr. Garfleld's antagonism
would not have been directed against
"Rather of lawyers, and not men,'
Baying ho suspected Mr. Vertrees
of caricaturing conservation when he
depicted Pinchot and his friends as
standing between private interests and
"the people's coal," exclaiming, "Don t
let '(Juggle 1 gel it," Mr. Pepper added:
"The Ballinger Idea of conservation
seems to be, 'Do let Guggle get the
coal.' "
PINCHOT STANDS TEST
"Mr. Pinchot has been spoken of as
a dreamer," exclaimed Mr. Pepper,
"but 1 have yet to see reference to a
statement of his that cannot stand the
test of the president's definition of con
servation."
In Mr. Brandeis' cloning speech refer
ence was made to Vertices' statement
that Ballinger >8 administration was
one of "law and not of man."
"Rather of lawyers, and not men,"
suggested Brandeis—"lawyer* who
have ever been ready to resort to loose
construction of the law when private
Interests were threatend and a strict
construction of it when the public's
interests were Involved."
Brandeis said If Balllngor, as secre
tary, had left to his subordinates
(which hi said ho did not believe) the
handling of the Cunningham eases, he
was unfaithful to his public trust.
Replying to Vertrees' Inquiry ns to
why he had not cross-examined
Schwartz, "the man who handled the
oases." Brandeis said because he had
already had an opportunity to question
the man who was responsible.
He made a scathing attack upon Mat
lingers alleged evaalveneHH and Inabil
ity to remember on the witness stand,
•i 11. i unfavorably compared him as a
witness to Glavls, whom he termed
the 'best witness you have had before
you."
Ho paid a tribute to Pinchot's follow
ing and the Independent press.
"But for these publications and these
men," lie declared, "there would have
been donfi in this count an act of In
justice as great its that done In the
T)reyfus case In France, and for very
similar reasons. As suggested by Mr.
Vertrees, men in exalted positions have
got to be protected at all bazar.]-, and
If they cannot he protected by truth
then lying must be exerted to that
end."

CHINESE ENRAGED
BY HANKOW LOAN
Leader of Opposition Writes with
His Own Blood Strong
Letter of Protest
CAUSES ANTI-FOREIGN RIOTS
Oriental Situation Complicated by
Signing of Agreement
with Financiers
[Assoelntrrt Prsss]
PEKING, May 28.— The opposition of
the gentry and other popular leaders In
Hunan and Honan provinces to the ac
ceptance by the Chinese government of
the Hankow-Sze-Chuen railway loan
has not diminished. On the contrary,
the anti-foreign sentiment regarding
this particular subject is becoming
more pronounced.
This extremely hostile feeling was ex
pressed in a startling manner recently.
President Siu Chi Tchang of the board
of communications received a letter
from the leader of the opposition in
Hunan province, protesting against the
conclusion of the loan. The communi
cation was written in the blood of the
writer's severed finger.
During negotiations between the
financial groups of the United States,
Great Britain, Germany and France
there were occasional manifestations
against the government In the two
provinces, and the trouble became
acute a few weeks before the loan
agreement was signed In Paris by the
members of the international banking
syndicate. It is generally believed that
the violence organized by the gentry
and done by the natives at Changsha,
the capital of Hunan, was Influenced
to a considerable degree by opposition
to the acceptance of foreign capital
and foreign direction in the construc
tion of the Hankow railway line, which
influential personages in the province
wish to have built, if at all, with
Chinese capital.
SITUATION' COMPLICATED
When the agreement was reached by
the promoters at the French capital
doubt was expressed whether China, in
view of the native protests, would be
as willing- to conclude the contract as
the government was a year ago, when
it was anxious that the American
financiers should be allowed to partici
pate, lest otherwise international com
plications Jeopardize the success of the
loan.
The present attitude of the central
authorities has not been known.
Much uneasiness was felt here dur
ing the outbreaks at Changsha and
other nearby points, and in order to get
a definite knowledge of the situation
American Minister Calhoun dispatched
Capt. B. H. Reeves, military attache at
the American legation, on a tour of
Investigation. Capt. Reeves visited
Hunan province and has just returned
here. He reports that the situation
generally in the province Is encourag-
incr. Tin 1 government troops, the cap
tain Hays, are In control of the Inland
points at which the riots of the natives
occur.

Ti E DOLLAR MARK
This is the great play that was given a year ago at the Belasco Theater
for ten solidly successful weeks—for exactly ONE HUNDRED consecutive
performances —smashing the world's stock company records for attendance
and establishing more firmly than ever the undisputed superiority of the
Belasco Company over every other stock company.
This year, "The Dollar Mark" is going to be even
bigger and better than ever. It's the finest Amer
ican play that was ever written and in the hands
of Mr. Stone and the Belasco Company it is easily
the best play of the entire season here.
If you were among the 140,000 people that saw The Dollar Mark at the
Belasco a year ago, there's no use telling you what a tremendously great
play this is. If you happened to be among the thousands that were unable
to get seats for The Dollar Mark, you don't want to make the same mistake
again—get YOUR SEATS QUICK—THIS MEANS NOW. There's every
chance that if you don't hurry you're going to miss seeing this grand
play again.
