M. Goodwin, as- ristant secretary of the interior, if the permit could be granted. The letter said that if Champbell “could get his hooks" on the lan¢, the two officials assisting they “coud make more money” than they “would otherwise make’ in a longtime.” Booth, responding on May-19, ac- cording to the records, said he wou'd take the matter’up with Goodwin, though he himself had left the in- terior department, May 1, Pratt told the committee he had with him all the documentary evt- dence in the possession of the de- t of justicé concerning the charge against Senator Wheeler, but added theré was other material as to Senator Wheeler in his. hands “which hac: no bearing on the pres- ent charge.” Senator Wheeler asked the right to take the stand as Pratt finished, and Chairman Borah granted it.

Senator Sterling asked about the permits to drill for oil land. “There was nothing said about Permits,” Senator Wheeler said of his conference with Campbell. “Didn't you give some assurances there that when you got to Wash- ington you would straighten up these permit titles?” asked Sena- tor Sterling. “Positively not, to the best of my recollection, which I think {s quite clear,” Senator Wheeler replied. He ad¢ed that the idea was “rid- iculous.” . Senator Sterling cited tho testi mony of members of the Campbell syndicate, and of H. C. Glosser, to the effect that government permits had been discussed in meetings with Wheeler. The Montana senator the made his denia’s specific. Senate Wheeler preceeded to describe the legal work he did for Campbell. “The only time I remember per- mits coming up was at Great Falls, he went’on, “When during January or February, during one of my vis- its on the low suits, Campbell called me in his private office where there was an attorney for the Standard O}! of Ca'tfornta They were trying to straighten ‘out as between them selves some permit to «and on which there was a .well.
