OAY MARKED BY WRANGLING Forester Shows Impatience Under Cross-Examination. RETORT SHOWS VEXATION Ballinger's Reversal of Garfield Policy Suggested as Reason for Accusations Pinchot Admits Limit of Knowledge. WASHINGTON, March 4. The Ballln-ger-Plnchot investigation dragged two sessions today. Mr. Vertrees, counsel for Secretary Ballinger, continued his cross examination of Gifford Pinchot. He elicited some interesting facts from the former forester, but for the most part the day was taken up with wrangles between the attorney and the witness, and sometimes between Mr. Vertrees and counsel for the other side. Mr. Pinchot complained to the commit tee that It was difficult to explain for est service matters to a man so little Informed on the subject as Mr. Vertrees appeared to be. Delays Annoy Committee. The members of the committee showed considerable Impatience during the. day, and Senator Flint repeatedly urged coun sel' to stop wrangling and try to get down to facts. Many of Mr. Vertrees" questions were based upon documentary evidence and he read copiously from the record of the case. Senator Flint de clared that one. letter had been placed in the record at least 20 different times. Mr. Pinchot admitted that his first-hand knowledge of Mr. Ballinger's acts was limited, but he reiterated that the Secre tary of the Interior had deceived the President concerning the Cunningham coal cases and had made a statement to the President which was obviously un true. Source of Antagonism Sought. Mr. Vertrees, at the afternoon session, questioned Mr. Pinchot closely regarding the sending of forest rangers to agricul tural colleges and brought out that Mr. Pinchot was under the impression he had informed the Secretary of Agricul ture of what he was doing, but was not willing to swear to it. The attorney sought to show that Mr. Pinchot and ex-Secretary of the Interior Garfield were in the habit of doing what they thought best regardless of the law and that their antagonism to Mr. Ballin ger was brought about by his determina tion to proceed wholly within the law. The cross-examination of Mr. Pinchot proceded slowly from the start and was interrupted by long arguments between the witness and Mr. Vertrees. Ballinger's Fairness Admitted. With reference to his claim that Mr. Ballinger had deceived the President con cerning a decision by the Controller of the Treasury, Mr. Pinchot admitted that Mr. Ballinger's written statement to the President was a fair one and the docu- ( Concluded on Page B. .... 1 . . .! .1X11... ......... .. . .

Six days ago John McAllister, a veterinary surgeon's assistant, attended a dog afflicted with a strange malady and the dog bit him slightly. A few hours later it died after horrible suffering and the nature of it's affliction has not been determined. Apparently it was not rabies. The day after .the canine's teeth scratched his hand slightly. McAllister became slcli and today he died in a hos pital after showing similar symptoms and enduring even more agony than the dog. Many physicians were called in consul tation. The patient was operated on and every effort was vainly made to find what his sickness was and to save his life. There were alight indications of appendicitis and a certificate was finally signed attributing death thereto. This gave the doctors no satisfaction, however, and ' the investigation will be continued. Six persons were serious bitten by dogs today. This evening the Mayor signed an ordinance requiring dogs on the streets to be muzzled, shot or impounded, and the law will become effective Mon day. INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS Hoods aud lndnlldea.

NATIONAL AWARD -DELAYED Attitude of Commander's Friends I .oil ds to Row, and Congressmen Drop Matter After Stormy Session Is Held. WASHINGTON, March 4. Proofs of Commander Peary's discovery of the North Pole caused a row in the sub committee of the House committee on naval affairs today. Members of the Geographic Society ap peared before the committee with 'copies of Peary's proofs, to urge the granting of a suitable reward by Congress, but the committee declined to receive them In conference, and has made it known that unless the Peary proofs are forthcoming to their full satisfaction, every bill in troduced to reward the discoverer will be pigeonholed. Secrecy Is Denied. Three members of the committee were In favor of receiving the Peary proofs without making them public. Representa tive Macon hotly objected, and after de claring his position, stalked angrily from the room. "I am against all legislation in the dark," Mr. Macon sharply told the com mittee. "Furthermore, if this commit tee decides in favor of Peary, without in specting 'the full records and 'making them public, I will expose the whole busi. ness on the floor of the House or in a statement to the press. If we reward Mr. Peary, the American people have a right to know what we are rewarding him for." - Professor Gannett.' of the Ooas: and Geodetic Survey, and one of the members of the National Geographic Society, which accepted Peary's proofs, told the com mittee that Mr. Peary would not let the committee have the proofs for public purposes, because he wanted them for use in newspapers and magazine articles. Proofs Not Submitted. The professor had with him a copy of the proofs, but decjined to submit them. He told the committee he had not the slightest doubt that Peary discovered the Pole, and never had any, even before he saw the proofs. He submitted to lengthy questioning and answered many interro gations about the Peary dash for the Pole. He told of the tidal observations that Commander Peary had sent back to the department from time to time, which, he said, were of great value. He said Peary went two miles past the Pole to make sure that he was at the extreme "top of the earth." Records Easily Faked. It was stated by Professor Gannett that any scientist who knew his business could (Concluded From First Pag-e.)

May Arkwrighii Hutton, noted suffra gette, descended upon the city hall Thurs. day, armed with the petition which the iEJquai Suffrage League is circulating. She went Into all the offices in the hall, and most of the men approached signed with out a struggle and avoided trouble. Miss Swing, secretary of Fire Commis sioner Armstrong, proved herself of firm er stuff, however. "When the suffrage paper was placed before her she refused to sign. f "I see enough of politics around the city haM now," she told Mrs. Hutton, "without dragging women into H.

OWN EXECUTOR, GOOD IDEA Dr. Pearsons, Philanthropist, Com mends Rockefeller's Plan. CHICAGO, March 4. "I am not suffi ciently advised as to the scope of Mr. Rockefeller's latest project to discuss it intelligently, but. if Mr. Rockefeller has decided to be bis own executor, I can most heartily commend the idea," said Dr. D. K. Pearsons, the agedphilanthrop Ist, who has given many millions to small colleges, yesterday, at his home in Hins dale. "It may be safely stated as a general princiflla that the man whom providence has endowed with a gift for accumulat ing is the one likely to be the wisest dis tributor of It, as it requires fully as. much brains to give away money as it does to earn it. "From my personal knowledge of Mr Rockefeller I believe he can be depended upon to make such a use of his wealth as to insure tremendous results to flow from it after he is dead and gone."
