BALLINGER INVESTIGATORS CLASH Democratic and Republican Members of Com- mittee Quarrel for Over an Hour ATTORNEY RESENTS CHAIRMAN'S CHARGE Of Concealing Something—Effort Made to Have Chair- man Retract was Tabled — Little Hope of Final Uranimous Agreement of Any Sort Owing to Strong Showing of Partisanship =~ Representative James argued that the matter Mr. Brandeis was accused of concealing was on record before the committee and — comsequently there could be no coneealment if the commit- tee members paid attention. Tabled by Vote of 6 to 3. The matter finally was disposed of by a_motion from Representative Olm- stead that the matter be tabled. This was carried by a vote of 6 o 3. Two witnesses were. offered today on behalf of Mr. Ballinger. They Were District Attorney: Elmer E. Todd of Seattle and United States Marshal H. K. Love of Alaska. Mr. Love was formerly a special agent ‘of the land office. Both of the witnesses declared that statements made by Special Agent H. L. Jones for the “prosecution” were false. The direct examinations occupied but a few minutes, the cross examinations by Mr. Brandeis taking up the remain- der of the sessions. Mr. Todd and Mr. Love were prepared for the'onslaught of the Glavis attorney and their an- swers were sometimes as sharp as the thrusts of the lawyer. ‘There has been testimony before the committee from time to time that Mr. Love as special agent was “warped in his judgment” because he was a candi- daté for the marshalship in the Third division of Alaska. He was asked to- day what influence he actually was de- pending upon to get the place. “Well,” he began, “I happened to be a trooper in Colonel Roosevelt's regi- ment.” “You need go no farther,” interrupt— ed Senator Flint, amid laughter . Washington, April 1.—The most seri- ous clash that has yet occurred among the members of the Ballinger-Pinchot $nvestigating committe marked the forenoon sitting today. The quarrel, which continued for an_hour or more, ~as_added evidence of the growing Feeling of between the <emocratic and the republican mem- Ders of the commlttes and was taken @&y many to mean the hopelessness of & unanimous agreement of any sort. Chairmam Precipitated Row. The row was precipitated by Chair anan Nelson accusing Attorney Bran- dels, representing the “prosecution,” of ing to conceal something from the wommittee. The attorney, i with ®nger, jumped to its feet and demand- ed that the chairman's remark be svithdrawn Democratic members of the commit- tee were quick to take up the defense of the lawyer, and Representative Graham of Illinols moved that the chairman be directed to withdraw the ¢mputation. Representative James seconded the motion. There followed @ Eeneral discussion in which every tngmber of the committee gave his per- soral views. A number of republicans eald they did not agree with Senator Velson that Mr. Brandeis was at- tempting concealment of any sort, but ®t the same time they would not vote o compel the chairman to withdraw. It was argued by Representative Wradison. the “Insurgent” member, that fhe chairman in making his remarks ®enlected only his personal views and in no wise commfittéd any other member.

WHO WILL SUCCEED JUSTICE BREWER? Former Connecticut Man Prominently Mentioned—Judge Noyes of New London Among Those Eligible. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington. April 1.—The Yale Alumni association of Washington, at a specially called meeting Wednesday afternoon, adoptea resolutions on the death of Justice David J. Brewer. Jus- ice Brewer was some years ago pres- ident of the Yale Alumni association of Washington, and during his resi- dence In Washington for the past 20 years jias taken a deep interest in the associition. The Weslevan Alumni as- sociation, where Justice Brewer stud- ied for a time, also adopted resolu- tions of sympathy. The death of Justice Brewer has brought forward a great many candi- dates for the vacant place on the bench of the supreme @ourt. Among those most prominently mentioned down here is Lloyd W. Bowers, of Chicago, at present the solicitor gener- al of the department of Justice. Mr. Bowers is a Yale graduate and for a time lived in Connecticut. He and :fls family visit in the state frequent- y. . New England is going to make a claim for the place, but as vet no names have been mentioned from that ection of the country. Judge Noves of New London, judge of the circult court, and Judge Platt of Meriden, of the district court, would be eligible to promotion. as it is customary to pro- mote judges from the lower United States” courts to the supreme court, but no one is pushing their claims, as far as can be ascertained. President Taft is llkely to make hi own selection from his own knowl edge, as he did in the case of Justice Lurton, and political influence wil! have no weight with him.
