Washington.--President Taft's let ter of last September ordering the dis missal of L. A. Glavis from the land office service and exonerating Secre tary Bailinger from the charges pre ferred by Glavis was based upon and iu part directly quoted rrom a draft of a letter written by Oscar Lawler, assistant attorney general of tbe in terior department. The Lawler letter was drafted in such form that it might have been adopted verbatim and signed by the president. . The draft by Mr. Lawler was deliv ered to the Ballinger-PiRchot commit- Suhirdfty ar^_ ord?f6d gnrftoH ttnn*\ the records of the Investigation. Care ful comparison of the I^owler draft with the letter shows that Mr. Taft did in fact adopt practically verbatim two short paragraphs of Mr. Lawler's language. The substance of the two documents is otherwise widely dis similar. The thing came to a head in the publication of a statement attributed to Frederick M. Kerby, orite of the stenographers in the office of Secre tary Bailinger, in which Kerby related at length the circumstances under which he alleged the Lawler draft to The ballooning fatalities fit " ile*. many should serve as a warning to amateur aeronauts everywhere, at the opening of the season for aerial flights. The ascension with the Pom- mem, which ended in the Baltic sea, Was undertaken when a high wind pre- vaOed, and when professional aero nauts would have considered it rash to start.

' ' * r" i Tfee rage for changing aaAea some- ftmes runs up against a snag. Some one succeeded in rechristening Tot- tenville, down on Staten Island, and substituting the title of BeaUey Manor. Now the descendants of the Huguenots who settled in that quarter bare risen ip protest and want the Old same back. 8o do the Daughters of the American Revolution^ whose pa triotic spirit naturally revolts at the fact, as alleged, that, the new name is that of a man who was a Tory in tbe Revolution. Sometimes the adoption W a new name for a town la by more baste than discretion. Kerby asserts further that all of the preliminary drafts used in the prepara tion of the letter were burned in a grate in the interior department at the suggestion and under the supervision of Don if. Oarr, Mr. Ballinger*a pri vate secretary. Kerby drew tbe inference that tba Lawler draft had been adopted by the president essentially as his own; that Mr. Bailinger and his legal adviser therefore virtually had prepared the exoneration which Mr. Taft had issued over his own signature. Almost simultaneously with tbe pub lication of the Kerby statement Attor ney General Wickersham sent to the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating com mittee, then in session, a copy of the Lawler draft, accompanied by a letter to Chairman Nelson in which Mr. Wiekershaiii declared the document had been overlooked intending the paper* requisitioned by tUe committee at the behest of Attorney Brandeis. The publication of the Kerby state ment evoked from the White House a statement declaring there was "abso lutely no foundation" for the state ment "that the president's letter of September 13, 1909, was substantially prepared for the president's signature by Assistant Attorney General La#- ler" and asserting unequivocally that "the president dictated his letter per sonally as tbe result of his own inves tigation of the records and considera tion of documents and papers in Us possession at the time and upon the report of the attorney general." It was further pointed out, both at the White House and by Attorney Gen eral Wickersham himself, that a com parison of the Lawler draft and the president's letter would show that the Inferences of the': KefTby statement, were unwarranted. Mr. Wickersham alluded to the prac- • tise common In the government <& p&rtments of subordinates preparing letters and documents for the consid eration of their superiors and their use by them In whole or In part as they might see fit. In a letter to Senator Nelson 8u»- wheh strong { day President Taft assumes aft td- sponsibility for Ballinger's exonera tion, saying he directed Lawler 'to prepare an opinion as if he were the president," but did not think it wt*e to adopt the criticism contained there in of Mr. Glavis and Mr. Pinchot ' TAFT CONFERS WITH SOLONS PraaMeifit 4avites Western Republican Sanators, Excepting "InMiraanta," to White House Conferenea.
