Alley appeared for C. E. Moulton, tho lieu selector.

LAWLER SORE AT L GUMS Attorney Who Prepared Taft's Dismissal Had Old Grudge Against Agent. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C, May 19. (Delayed in transmission). Assis tant Attorney General Lawler admit ted under cross examination by At torney Brandels In the Ballinger pinchot Investigation today that three years ago Glavis cast reflec tions on his competency to conduct the prosecution of certain land fraud cases while he was United States Attorney for the Southern Diserict of California. He said it had been demonstrated that Glavis was un truthful. Brandels plainly was en deavoring to show Lawler entertain ed an old grudge against Glavis which unfitted him for the prepara tion of a judicial finding for the presi dent on a charge made by Glavis against Balllnger. Lawler said tho department of justice made an investigation vindi cating him and he proceeded with the conduct of the cases, securing convictions. At the time., Glavis was stationed at Oakland, Cal. Brandels tried to get the committee to request the production of all papers in this case urging it was important to know whether Ballinger at the. time he took Lawler to Beverly to see Presi dent Taft in egard to the Glavis charges knew of the grudge of Lawler against Glavis. It appeared to be the sense of a majority of the committee to comply with the attorney's re quest would necessitate entering on a collateral investigation. There was no repetition today of last Thursday's exciting scone. Lawler was curt In some of his answers but no serious clashes occurred today. Lawler ad mitted he considered the task of pre paring the opinion quasi-judicial, but did not think the fact he con sidered Ballinger and his immediate associates honest and Glavis dishon est disqualified him from rendering a just opinion. Fred Dennett, commissioner of tho general land offlce, followed Lawler on the stand. Chairman Nelson an nounced they would not make pub lic letters between Balllnger and George Perkins of New York, which had been furnished in response to Brandels' request. He explained they related only to the mining of two glaciers In Alaska. Biandeis asked that further search be made for two letters addressed by Perkins to Bal llnger which he had reason to believe existed. He said he was particularly anxious to obtain a letter of June 19,1909, In response to which Bal linger expressed regret that his son would be unable to accompany Per kins on the trip to Alaska during the summer.
