HEARING IS CROWDED
Many Spectators Turned Away and
Pack Corridors Trying to
Hear Testimony.
WASHINGTON, March 4.—With
former forester Plnehot on the stand
for cross-examination at the hands of
Attorney Vertrees, counsel for Secre
tary Ballinger, the joint congreealonal
committee to-day resumed its sessions
before a packed hearing room. The
"S. R. O.” sign was hung long before
10 o’clock. Many people were in the
corridors and adjacent to the hearing
room long before » o'clock.
Vertrees' first question was for the
former forester to state exactly whore
he secured Information regarding the
Cunningham coal claims. Ptnchot
said that most of his Information
oumA fxAm A*baM
“Wall, what things against Secre
tary Ballinger, if any, do you know
for yourself?" asked Vertrees.
— Finehot studied a moment.
“You have testified largely from in
ferences and insinuations which you
have heard," suggested Vertrees.
The former forester asked permis
sion to refer to memoranda of “things
which Secretary Ballinger has done."
as he expressed it This was granted.
He then said:
“The things which I know of my
own knowledge are best stated In Sec
retary Ballinger's letter of November
IS to the President, which contains a
number or misstatements, as I have
shown partly and am prepared to
show still further."
After a score or more of questions,
Vertrees Anally pinned the witness
down to an admission that really all
he knew about the Cunningham oases
from his own knowledge was con
tained in Ballinger's letter to the
President of November II,
"My first hand knowledge," said
Plnehot, "la limited to this letter of
November IB and its lnclosures.’*
“What waa the form of the repri
mand yon administered to Price and
Shaw 7” Mr. Plnohot was asked.
“I called Price into my room alone
and asked Jhtm .to, describe to..me
what ha had done and what Shaw
had dons. He did so at some length.
At the eoaclnston of thet interview,
I told him—in subetanoe—that what
they had dene wee indefensible from
the point of view of prortety la the
MkA';
government; that I did not approve
of It and that I desired to reprimand
him."
"In your heart, you approved of
what he had done;”
"In my heart, i approved of his
motives, but X did not approve of all
be did.”
Vertrees asked whether Pinchot
had any Interest in coal companies
anywhere in the United States. The
witness said he had not, but that
some of his family owned a small
block of stock in a coal company in
Illinois.
Relations Were Friendly.
As to his relations with Secretary
Ballinger prior to the publication of
the Glavis charges, Pinchot said:
"They were fairly friendly—not
more than that 1 knew that Judge
Ballinger knew that our views in the
conservation question were not the
same.”
"Well, you were not unfriendly, but
just distrusted him!”
"I distrusted him, yes—and his pol
icies, and what he would do under
the poltctee be held.”
Vertrees then referred to Ptnehot's
statement In the direct examination
that Ballinger when commissioner
had protested against the creation.
In April, 1907, of the Chugach for
est reserve.
"His protest against this reserve,”
said Pinchot, "la one of the things
which shows his hostility to conser
vation."
Vertrees then called attention to
Ballinger’s letter voicing his protest,
and criticised Pinchot for not read
me that before condemning Baltin
ger. ‘Tve never seen that letter,
responded Pinchot.
Attorney Protests.
Attorney Pepper, counsel for the
ex-forester, then protested against
the course which the committee has
ordered with regard to papers -and
evidence secured from the depart
menu after a call. The committee
early In 1U hearings determined to
permit only the attorneys for both
to see these papers—and not
even allow counsel to take copies, or
go over papers with their clients.
The questioning by Vertrees as to
the Ballinger letter of April at,
brought out the statement from Pin
chot that the whole letter showeda
"hostility to conservation, but the
former forester said that it was Im
possible to "pick out a single **n
which reflected the hostility
which was conveyedln the letter as a
Vertreea reverted to the super
vlsory power.” under which moat of
the three and cne-half million acres
Of withdrawals were made. -
Pinchot explained that the Garfield
policy contemplated the withdrawal
of lands for water power sites, their
examination while withdrawn, aid
subsequently the restoration of such
of the acreage as was fqund to be
unavailable for power.
Wrongly Endorsed.
These.,.forma of withdSPHraJs , JNF*
countenanced, the witness said, by
the President, Secretary of the Inte
rior Garfield. Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson sad himself. _
“The supervisory power” was la
'ho continued, after much land
site plan. It first being thought that
this latter method was the only ona
granting the secretary of the interior
the power to reserve lands.
