BALLINGER PERSECUTED.
(Continued from Page 1.)
Vertrecs declared that novor had
mora just claims been presented to
tho land office- than those of the
Cunningham crotfp, which Glavts pro
tested, and which caused tho contro
versy which onded la tho congression
al Investigation.
Ho declared that If tho Cunning
ham affidavit had been drawn "eth
ically" by tho secretary of tho Inte
rior that was a matter beyond tho
power of tho committee to Investi
gate. On tho other hand, ho declar
ed, no ovldenco had been Introduced
which could Justly bo considered as
Klvtnjr ovldenco thcro had been any
misconduct at Dallinger's service to
tho claimant.
Ho denounced Garfield as a tool of
Plnchot and declared that Garfield's
Jealousy when ho learned ho was not
to be in the now cabinet caused him
to seek revenge, which tho attorney
Intimated had ended In tho present
Investigation.
Representative McCall today read
a letter from Assistant Attorney Gen
eral 'Oscar Lawler, written to Chair
man Nelson of tho committee, re
tracting hlo disparaging remarks
against C. P. Connolly, and apolo
gizing for having uttered them.
Vertrees declared that tho testi
mony of the clerks of tho interior
department absolutely vindicated
Sallinger.
"Guggenheim," ho said, "seems to
be tho bogey of tho west. I presume
he has virtues and faults as every
human being has. I know that ho is
building a railroad in Alaska. I also
lenow that ho Is not trying to float
a hand issue, which Is certainly to his
credit."
Kerby Is Dcnoanccd.
He paid a high tribute to Edward
Finney, assistant to the secretary,
and to the clerks of tho department,
then, with arms uplifted, his body
moving with emotion, he shouted a
denunciation of Frederick SI. Kerby,
the stenographer who first gave out
the story of tho preparation of the
2awler memorandum.
"He Is a poor, miserable, weak
creature," shouted Vertrees, "flat
tered by the invitation to tho Plnchot
mansion under the dark, soft mantle
of night, to confer with such men as
this Garfield and this Brandeis."
He declared that H. SI. Hoyt, gov
ernor general of Porto Rice, and who
-was called as a witness in the case,
was the kind of man "who saw a
hug under every chip." .
Centers on Plnchot.
Vertrees centered his sarcasm and
denunciation on Plnchot. Ho declar
ed that Plnchot should be given cred
it for a great deal of good, "but,"
he added, "he has been with loftiness
of purpose, which he doesn't merit,
and I will show how vicious ho Is
-when ho Is onco aroused."
Then Vertrees referred to tho tes
timony of C. 0. Smith, who describ
ed a conversation ho hnd with Pln
chot. Smith hnd said that Plnchot
threatened to "show him up" in tho
newspapers It ho did not "como into
tho fold."
"How unprincipled a man this is,"
cried Vertrees with scorn. "Ho would
resort to such trickery," ho paused
and minute and then added, "a man
who would this would do anything."
MAY FETE BIG SUCCESS.

tho nblo direction of Prof. Collins,
played a very onjoyablo selection
which ended tho program. The
people then thronged tho fortune
tello's tent, where "Zaideo," tno
most wonderful, held forth. Ire

In his speech, Judge Colvig said:
"From time immemorial our nu
cestors who worshiped the god of
Naturo hnce held a festival in honor
of the coming of spring. The Druids
of England, Ireland or Scotland held
May dances. Today wo follow In
their footsteps. Today I have
the honor nnd pleasure of crowning
ns Queen of the May, Queen Jose
phine. She bids you join with her
maids in their revels, and as you, as
good loyal subjects, must obey her ns
I do in making this announcement."
circling Baldy mountain, tho stream
is to c carried across ltoguu lliver
by an inverted siphon nnd brought
up to nn elevation on Iho north sido
that will mako it possible to water nil
tho adjoining foot hills and roach tho
lands in tho vicinity of Merlin and
Hugo.
Although this is an immonso under

ing Company, is responsible for the
fact that the irrigation project
placed under way last summer was
not completed. It is estimated that
an irrigation system as planned will
place 40,000 acres under water.
Two propositions have been made.
One by the recently organized Rogue
River Irrigation & Power Company,
and ono by P. J. Blnkely and asso
ciates, and thero are good points in
both projects; so many, in fact, that
when the details were presented yes
terdas, there was a divorsity of opin
ion as to which is the more desir
able. The Blakcly project appealed to
many on account of being entirely a
gravity system, and also because it
i will reach lands at an elevation be
yond the other projects. Tho pro
moters propose to secure sufficient
water by storage to irrigato not less
than 40,000 acres and this by using
only the flood waters of tho Apple
gate basin, so that the established
water rights of the river would not
be interfered with.
The water is to bo brought in open
ditches entirely. At a point some
1,500 feet above the valley hero a di
version dam is to bo constructed and
tho watch brought over tho Murphy
divide into tho Fruitdnle district. En-

to whom porjury Is no crlmo.
"When tho truth ta known, every
body will understand that the publi
cation of an article signed by Whlt.
was part of a political conspiracy to
drive me out of public lifo and ruin
me financially because I will not do
ns other Illinois republicans In the
house and place myself under tho ab
solute dictatorship of tho Cricago
Tribune."
Lorlmer not only denied that ho
had offered any bribes to secure his
election, but declared that no ono
had offeied anyono any money for
any vote or him.
Lorimcr told of his fight for tho
senntorship. He said that ho had not
wnnted tho office, that ho had sug
gested Inducing Congressmen Lowden
nnd SIcKInley and Rodenburg to bo
candidates against ex-Senator Hop
kins nnd all refused to mako tho race.
He said Governor Deneen promised
to make the fight, but at tho laso mo
ment changed his mind and refused
to become a candidate. Ho further
said Deneen had promised to support
him when, feeling that thoro was no
other way, he had decided to enter
the race himself. At tho last mo
ment he said Deneen withheld his
support.
Thereafter ho said Deneen and tho
Chicago Tribune Joined forces nnd
fought him.

Governor Deneen late today express
ed his surprise at the statements made
by Senator Lorlmer before tho sonato
regarding tho charges that thero was
bribery In connection with his elec
tion to tho senate.
"I can't see," ho said, "what bear
ing his statement has on tho confes
sion of White and others who declare
they knew about tho bribery that Is
alleged."
Deneen denied that ho had any
knowledge of tho plans White had
made to confess until shortly boforo
