PEESIDENT MAKES
DENIAL OF CLAIM
! Original Letter Firing Gla-
vis Similar in Part to
Taft's Decision
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 14.
Oscar Lawlor, assistant attorney gon-
oral of tho intorior department, of
' which Richard A. Ballinger is tho head,
did in fact proparo a draft of a letter
addressed to Secrotary Iiallinger and in
such form and phrase that it might havo
beofi adopted vorbatim and signed by
ine prcsiacnt as M. Tatt's exoneration
of the secrotary from tho charges of
L. It. Qlavis, and authorizing the dis
missal of Qlavis from his position of
special agent of tho interior depart
ment. This draft by Mr. Lawlor was deliv
ered this afternoon by tho Ballinger
Pinchot committee and ordorod spread
. upon tho records of the investigation.
Careful comparison of tho Lawlor draft
with tho lotter of the president shows
that in fact, Mr. Taft did adopt practi
cally verbatim, two short paragraphs of
Lawlor 's language.
The substance of the two documents
is otherwise disshnijar.
Capital Is Aroused
Tho subject is on every tonguo to-
night in Washington, whore almost ev
ery man, woman and child is bittorly a
Ballinger or Pinchot partisan. - '
Tho thing camo to head today by tho
publication of a statement attributed
to Fred W. Kerby, ono of tho stenog
raphers in tho oflico of Ballingor, in
which Kerby related at length tho cir
cumstances under which ho alleged tho
Lawlor draft had been prepared. Ker
by asserted further that all preliminary
drafts used in preparation of tho lot
ter was burned in the grato in tho in
terior department at tho suggestion and
under tho supervision of Don A. Cnrr,
Ballinger 's privato secretary.
Almost simultaneously with the pub
lication of the Kerby statement, Wjck
crsham sent to tho Ballingor-Pinchot
committee a, copy of tho Lawlor draft
accompanied by a letter to Chairman
Nelson, in which Wickersham declared
the document had been overlooked in
sending papers requisitioned by tho
committee at the request of Attorney
Brandois.
White House Denies
Tho publication of th0 Kerby state
ment evoked from tho White llouso a
statement declaring thoro was "abso
lutely no foundation for tho statement"
that the president's letter of Soptember
13, 1909, was substantially prepared for
tho president's signature by Assistant
Attorney Gonoral Lawlor, and assert
ing unequivocally that "tho president
dictated his letter, personally, as the
result of his own investigation of flic
records and consideration of tho 'docu
ments and papers in his possession at
tho time and upon the report of the at
torney general."
Wickersham alluded to the practice
a 'common in tho government depart
ments of subordinates preparing letters
and documents for tho consideration of
their superiors, and their uso by'them
in whole or in part as they might sec
fit.
Attorney Goneral Wickersham de
clared that it is quite obvious that Law
lor did not proparo tho letter signed
by President Taft.
Lawlor Letter Long
Th Lawlor document was very
much larger than tho entire Taft letter
and deals exclusively with tiio Alaskan
coal claims, whilo only about half of
tho Taft letter refers to the Glavis
charges," the balance relating to the
forestry controversy, to which Lawlor
hardly refers at all.
Tho Lawlor draft totals upwards of
8,000 words and that of the president
about 3,500.
''I mado tho facts public because I
had decided that loyalty to Ballinger
did not justify disloyalty to the coun
try," said Frederick M. Kerby, tonight.
He ,addcd that in view of what he. had
hcarcj.of "snake killing1', he assumed
he would bo, dismissed from the inter
ior department.
"If the secretary of the interior be
lieves my statement of facts," he con
tinued, "calls lor my separation from
tho service, it is up to him. I havo
only stated facts. Ho has said that he
wants tho publication of all facts.
n
HARD HIT
havo only made my contribution of
what ho failed to make puWic,
"I havo had personal assurance from
othors than thoso to whom I gave infor
mation that thoy would do the best
they could for mo in case I was dis
missed." Ho declined to say from where ho
had received tho assurance.
"Notwithstanding considerable pres
sure from nowspaper men," ho said,
"1 decided not to mako tho story pub
lic, believing tho proper course was to
wait till I was called asa witness, but
the attitudo of the committee in prac
tically stunting olr tlio inquiry regard
ing memorandum by Lawlor convinced
me that the only course to ndopt to
mako the facts public would bo to give
it to tho president." i
Not Influenced Ty Pinchot
He emphatically denie'd tfiat the so
called Pinchot controversy had any
thing to do with the, publication of tho
statement. He said Garfield know tho
facts in his possession from a mutual
friend, but had nothing to do witlTlacir
publication.
Attorney Vertrces, counsel for Bal
linger, met tho president at the White
House tonight and held a brief confer
ence with Mr. Taft.
lAttornoy Brandois, counsel for Glavis,
has mado soveral efforts to obtain tho
Lawlor memorandum, and has promised
that it would appear so similar to tho
president's letter of Soptember 13 as to
provo hat it formed the basis of the
president's letter of exoneration.
Attention was called to tho memoran
dum by Mr. Brandois when ho began
tho cross examination of Fred Dennett.
commissioner of tho general land office,
lato this afternoon. "
Dennett denied, that he knew of it,
or that ho had ahy conference or cor
respondence with attorney General
.Wickersham in reference to the sum
mary pf tho Glavis charges, which Mr.
uicKtTBuam prepared ior tiio presi
dent. His statement that he todk no
part in tho conference provious to .the
uuiuruiiuu oi mo .uawior icner was a
flat contradiction of Kerby's " state
ment. Tho subject was- passed over
for the timo being.
Still "Kl'ling Snakes"
Referring to Mr. Ballinger 's state
not finished "killing snakes,"' Mr,
meat on cross examination that he had
Brandeis asked tho commissioner if
there was a feeling among tho employ
ees of tho department that loyalty to
tho secretary expected of them extend
ed to their conduct if thoy should bo
called before tho committee.
"No," replied Mr. Dennett, "on the
contrary Ballingor has always encour
aged independence of thought and ac
tion among his subordinates.
Ho vigorously denied that the secre
tary had implied a threat to thoso who
might feel disposed to testify Against
him. Commissioner Dennett occu'pted
tho stand during the greator part of
the day. He substantiated in detail
Secrotary Ballinger 'fl testimony and
stated emphatically thatVho secretary
had expressed a desire when he assumed
office to have "nothing at all to do"
wjth tho Cunningham claims. He con
tradicted soveral statements of Glavis
in this connection, '
At tho opening of tho session it was
expected that Chief of the Field Divi
sion Schwartz woujd bo undor cross
examination for sevoral hours more, but
he had been finiflly oxcused; within
forty minutes after tho hearing began.
It is expected that Attorney Bran
deis will take steps to havo Stenogra
phers Kerby and Massoy called before
tho committee.

- LONDON, May 11. The whole court
and all London are absorbed in prepar
ations fortho'funeral of King Edward,
which will be the most1 imposing core
monial the, British capital has ever wit
nessed. Thirty thousand soldiers will be
brought from Aldorshdt and other mili
tary camps tpjirte the streets Friday
when tho procession passes.
As th,ero is no room to embarrack
them" bver night, tho soldiers will biv
ouac in the parks and streets. The
city will have the appearanco of an
invested city for two days. It is ex
pected that seven hundred thousand
people will pass through Westminister
hall to look upon the coffin. Barriers
are being built by means of which thu
people will be ushered through in four
lines at tho rate of 18,000 per hoifr.
The body of tho late king will bo ex

only the coffin with the official regalia
and heaps of flowers.
The artillery horses, with gun car
riages aro'rehearsing today through the
streets along tho line of march, so as
to avoid possibility of mishap Friday.
Fabulous prices are being asked for
seats or stands along tho line. Twenty,
five dollars is the lowest at-which' it is
possible to get a place. The house
holders overlooking Trafalgar square
have sent a protest to the lord chamber
lain for again changing the lino of
march, which deprives them of tho eag
erly expected profits.
King Georgo being so closely identi
fied with the navy, tho navy contin
gents will take a prominent part in the
ceremonies. Tho bluojackcts will draw
the gun carriage to Windsor, as they did
tho carriage which bore the body of
Victoria, although on that occasion thoy
did so because the horses becamo res
fiye. Soldiers from the king's company
and grenadier guards are keeping watch
over the body in tho throno room.

LYONS, Colo., May 14. Braving a
hail of bullets and daring almost cer
tain death by descent of a precipitous
cliff, Genkoyo Mitsunaga, a Japanese
suspected of the murder of Mrs. Cath
erine Wilson of Denver, last Saturday,
lato this afternoon made a spectacular
escape from a sheriff's posse in the
mountains west of here. With tho
posse hard on his heels, firing as thoy
ran, tho Japanese disappeared over the
mountain ridge and swung himself from
I ledire to ledeo of tho nrecinice. reach
ing the bottom in safety.
Before tho posso could reach the val
ley by a round-about trail, tho Japanese
had stolen a horso 'from a neighboring
ranch and found a fresh hiding place.
Tho horse was found later about two
miles from a Japanese grading camp
near here, xrom which it now seems
certain that Mitsunaga is receiving food
and other substantial aid. Until he can
be cut off from his source of supply,
his capture is doubtful.
Mitsunaga 's spectacular escape this
afternoon comes as tho climax oi a sen

HERON NAMED AS
CENSUS MARSHAL
Principals and Teachers of
Grade Schools Are Also
Named by Board
In a lengthy and decidedly interest
ing session of the school trusrees last
night Prof. Ora Staley of Knox, Ind.,
was elected to succeed F. D. Smith,
as superintendent of the Globe city
schools. , (
It had been generally believed for
some time that Professor Smith would
not be reappointed to the position, and
this supposition was verified when the
outcome of last night's election was
mado known. It is reported that Mr.
Staley was elected by a vote of two to
one.
Mr. Staley is in Globe at the present
time, having arrived here Thursday
night. Ho has met with the general ap
proval of the board and it is believed
that he will prove very efficient in his
new position at the head of the public
Schools of this city, "as he comes highly
recommended.
Grade Teachers
In addition to the selection of city
superintendent, principals and teachers
for the grade schools of the city were
also chosen.
Miss NelliwII. Allen was elected as
principal of the. East Globe school, with
Miss Abbie McKenzie as principal at
Noftsgcr Hill and Miss Opal B. Heller
elected to Jiold a similar position at the
Hill Street school.
These promotions were made as the
result of the excellent showing made
by these teachers in the city schools
during the, past term.
Grade teachers were selected as fol
lows from those who are now employed:
Misses Annabelle Chisholm, Gene
vieve Gerald, Hattie Floyd, Alice Cur
now, Nora Helfley, Grace T. Bayless, Al
ta Hendershott, Pearl, B. Harper, Eliz
abeth Santee, Caroline Fullerton, Maya
C. .Herron, Johnnie Hazlewood, Rosa
Dockstader, Hattie McQueen and Alice
Fox.
Four new grade teachers are Miss
Marie Wingate, Safford; Myrtice E.
Lcggctt, Oxford, Miss.; Lillian A. Heil
man, Emporium, Pa.; Gertrude Yeakey,
Huntsville, Mo.
Census Marshal
D. S. Heron was elected to the posi
tion of school census marshal, to take
the school census for the present year.
Mr. Heron will begin work on the cen
sus at once and complete the work as
rapidly as possible. It is believed that
this enumeration will show a material
increase in the number of school chil
dren in Globe as shown by the last
census. ,
It was also decided by the trustees
that all teachers shall be .required to
furnish a certificate from a reputable
physician, showing them to be in good
health and free from tuberculosis.
The date of opening of the coming;
school term has not been decided on
and will not be until after a conference
between Prof. Staley and the members
of the board.
Comes Well Recommended
Professor Staley, who has been elect
ed to superintend the schools of this
city comes highly recommended.
He comes to this city from Ivuox.
Indiana, whero he was in charge of
tho city schools for three years. For
nine years ho was in charge of the
city schools at Charlotville, Indiana,
1 and left that city after having been
elected for another term as his recom
mendations show. He also held the po
sition of city superintendent of wjhools
in Colgate, Oklahoma for thr years
and receives excellent recommendations
from that city.
Professor Staley is a graduate of the
Univcrsit yof Indiana, with the A B.
degree, holding a life certificate from
Indiana and from Oklahoma as well.
His credentials were examined by the
school board last night and found to
be of a very high order.
Incidentally, Professor Staley is a
benedict of only a few days.
jle was
married shortly before leaving for this
city and will be joined here by Mrs.
