Uonu'-it'-iul.
The Roseburg News says: ' "Tho lo-
: cal land offlce Is just .in receipt of a
Mslon rendered May 11th by tho
commissioner of the general land
office In connection with the contest
ot E, Inlng Chandler against the
lieu selection embracing the SE1
of Sec. 2, Tp. 27 S., U. 11 W., Wil
lamette Meridian. Mr. Chandler
claimed settlement on the land prior
to the filing of the script, and
through his attorneys, Farrin & Far-
rin, made a vlgdrous fight to defeat
the lieu selection. Frank E. Alley
appeared for C. E. Moulton, tho lieu
selector. Register Eddy held that
the contestant has failed to show
an actual bona fide settlement upon
the land, and the decision just re
ceived sustains the' Register. The
languuage of the Commissioner is in
part as follows: "Tho improve
ment made by said Chandler upon
this land Is of such meagre charac
ter and his visits to the land aro so
far apart, and the time he actually
remained upon the land of such short
duration as to amouut to a mere pre
tense of settlement. He did not, in
my opinion have such a claim to the
laid as would defer.t the selection
Mder consideration.' The land in

wry valuable."

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.

to each may be used for closings
Both sides will be given until Mon
day, June 15, in which to file briefs

passing on tho great mass of evidence
which has been presented.
Vertrees said he was opposed to
making any arguument before a com
mittee composed of legislators,
judges and lawyers who knew as
much about the case as he did, "and
besides I don't think there is any
thing to argue." Brandels said he
wished to argue the case. and present
briefs and it was arranged that such
would be the procedure.
