yrm of letter which the president could
I opt If he hi (It. ft practice of every
xjr occurrence tit the executive depart-
ments of the government."
Mr. Wickersham said he preferred not
to discuss the 'matter as It would be
manifestly Improper for him to do ao be-
ore he had seen the president.
However In his recent letter to Chair-
man Parker of the house committee on
HKiiclery Mr. Wtckersham said the
"resident had before him when he acted
the emerges documents and rough
otea prepared by htm. It was upon three
documents and notes he said that he
iiad afterwards compiled at the presi-
dent's direction the summary which the
isolation of Representative Harrison of
York ff adopted would direct him
o furnish. Mr. Wtckersham wrote Mr.
Parker that the resolution seemed to be
an Inquiry Into details of intercourse be-
tween the attorney general and presi-
dent which it would be neither compe-
tent nor aeemly for either house to at-
tempt. " v WA8 OVERLOOKED. '
Mr. Wtckersham said he had received
three requests for Information bearing; on
.he subject In discussion and he thought
they bad been complied with to the full
extent that propriety would admit. He
said nevertheless he directed his private
secretary to make another search of his
files and today the Lawler letter was
found .
. Mr. Wickersham said the memorandum
had been entirely overlooked In his previ-
ous communications to the committee. As
oen as It was found Mr. Wickersham
aid he sent the letter to Mr. Nelson.
Mr. Wickersham said the Lawler letter
had been handed to him by Lawler Sep-
tember and that he left It with the
president at Beverly the next day.
Assistant Attorney General Lawler said
that as the matter Involved his relations
with the president lie could not discuss It
without the president's permission. er-
aorf.lly he said he was perfectly willing
to make a reply out he did not consider
such action would be respectful to the
president unless he had obtained the
president's consent.
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Pierce and Don M. Carr. private secretary
to Mr. Bellinger 'ecllned to make any
Comment on Mr. Kerby's statement.
KL C Finney assistant to the secretary
f the Interior declared that Kerby's as-
sertion that he (Finney) took part in any
conference on the subject of the Lawler
nemorandura was "a lie."
' DENNETT MADE DENIAL.
Attorney Brandels counsel for L R.
G la vis baa made several efforts to ob-
tain the Lawler memorandum and has
promised that It would appear so similar
to the president's letter of September 11
as to prove that It formed the basis of
tha president's letter of exoneration. At-
tention was called to the memorandum by
Mr. Brandels when he began cross-examination
of Frederick Dennett commis-
sioner of the general land office late this
afternoon before the investigating com-
mittee. He said the document had been
reoelTed by the clerk of the committee
h bout 1 o'clock and that he mentioned
the hour because he desired to refer to it
in hta cross-examination. At that rime
several members of the committee were
reading In newspapers the statement by
Kerby.
. "Will Too. tell us what you know of the
preparation of the Lawler memorandum?"
asked Mr. Brandels.
"I do not know anything about it" re-
r'ted Mr. Dennett.
Mr. Dennett denied he had any confer-
ee or correspondence with Attorney
-eneral Wickersham in reference to the
"immary of the Glavls charges which
ir. Wickersham prepared for the presl-
ent. His statement that he took no part
ii tha conference previous to the prepa-
ration of the Lawler letter was a flat
contradiction of Kerby's statement.
Commissioner Dennett occupied the
-and during the greater part of the day.
ie substantiated In detail Secretary
talllnger'a testimony and stated emphat-
ically that the secretary had expressed a
sir when he assumed his office to
"have nothing at all to do with the Cun-
ningham claims."
Ha eontradloted several statements of
Glavls In this connection.

President Whipped Henchmen Into
' line on Executive Program.
(Associated Prtts Report.)
Washington May is a decided
rtep In the direction of assuring the adop-
tion by congress of practically al of the
administration legislative program was
taken at the White House early today
from 10: JO o'clock last night until long
titer 1 o'clock this morning. The presi-
dent discussed the situation with a large
-nejorlty of Western republicans and five
f the party leaders from Eastern
states.
President Taft talked With great free-
dom about the situation. He said he did
not care about the criticisms of himself
ut he believed everything possible should
ie done to prevent attacks upon the
-arty. In that connection he referred In-
i dentally to the statement of V. M.
erby tha Interior department stenogra-
ner who put out a story against officials
a connection with the preparation of the
.aft letter dismissing Ulavis from the
government service.
Tha president simply cited this Instance
a show the sort of attacks being made
atot the administration. He thought
e administration senators should help
it In dissipating the effect of such at-
cks. Every man present agreed to stand

DR. BROuGHTON TO TEXAS
Georgia Evangelist Will Conduct
Great Eevival Meeting at Fort
Worth Texan to Fill Bal-
timore Pulpits.
(Houston Post Special.)
BALTIMORE Md May 14. -The report
on evangelism read to the Southern Bap-
tist convention Inst night by Dr. Porter
of Kentucky and adopted by the body
strongly commends the wisdom of the
home mission board In selecting Dr Wes-
ton Bruner pastor of the First Baptist
church of San Antonio as the leader o(
Its evangelistic force. A notable feature
of this morning's session of the coruen-
tlon was the quirk and generous I re-
sponse f Secretary WIlllnKhnrn's ques-
tion: "Wlio will give $100 to send a
new missionary to the foreign field T"
Fifteen new misxionaries were provided
for In a few minutes. One of the men
responding to this appeal with a thou-
sand dollars was M. 11. Wolfe of Dallas.
The great speeches of the convention
have been made by the two famous Eng-
lish visitors Rev. J. II. Shakespeare and
Rev. F. B. Meyer both of London. Mr. .
6ic krspeare'a was .the most thrilling
and dramatically delivered In the con-
vention In twenty years.
The object of Is was to Increase the
Interest of the Southern Baptists In the
Baptist World Alliance to be held in
Philadelphia next September and its spe-
cial plea was for help for the persecuted
Baptists of Russia and the other poor
Baptists of the continent of Kurope to
enable them to attend tins great world
meeting of Baptists. As he told of the
sufferings of these European Baptists
their struggle for religious liberty and
their progTusa toward Its attainment his
speech became a battlecry that throbbed
like the Marseilles. Nothing like it has
ever been heard In the convention. One
felt that the man who made It was not
unworthy of the name he bears.
Dr. Meyers' address was of a totally
different type and was the feature of the
session.
DR. MEXERS' MASTERFUL ADDRESS.
His topic was the Infilling of the spirit
and the chief characteristic of his talk
was spiritual exaltation. Ho denied his
hearers to the third heaven. His Illus-
trations were not merely fraught with
lessons which hey made but they were
transfigured and the thought they carried
shone with a divine light. The effect
left on his audience was a desire for a
complete separation from the world's ut-
ter dedication to God the infilling of the
Holy Spirit and the consequent power In
things spiritual of which the speaker had
spoken. With such charm and power the
speech was an event In the history of
the convention and was one of several
features which have lifted this conven-
tion out of the nets and made It of un-
usual interest.
Closely connected with Dr. Meyer and
recently connected to the great London
church of which Dr. lion was formerly
pastor. Is Dr. Lea G. Broughton of At-
lanta Ga. who Is one of the great figures
of the convention although he has taken
no active part In the present sesion.
BROUGHTON TO VISIT TBXA9.
Rev. J. F. Norrls the enterprising and
aggressive pastor of the First Baptist
church of Fort Worth has during this
convention arranged with Dr. Brough-
ton to bo to Fort Worth for a -great
meeting in which evangelism and Bible
teaching are to be combined.
The evangelistic meetings will be held
a- night In a tarse tabernacle to be built
fo- the purpose and In the afternoons a
bible InatiiutewUl be conducted by Jr
Broughton which .will be attended. .
piiachers and Christian workers front all
over the Southwest "
So great is the work contemplated that
ven If Dr. Broughton accepts the call
to London he will return to America to
fill this engagement and there Is strong
probability that Dr. Broughton will ac-
cept the call of the London church.
The following Texans will preach to-
morrow In Baltimore and vicinity: George
W. Truett F. C. McConnell R. L. Oll-
lan P. E. Burroughs J. Frank Norrls
J. L. Cross C. A. Ridley J. F. Love
Mither Little Forrest Smith W. W.
Horner F. M. Masters J. B. Garribrell
C. C. t'oleman.
Probably the most fur-reaching result
of the present session of the convention
touchlnir Its work on this side of the
water is that hencefnrth there will be no
territorial limit to its mission work' as
in the past but that all Baptists In har-
mony with the principles for which it
stands and contributing the required
amount as Indicated by Its constitution
to lis work will be admitted to member-
ship in It. This Is the plain meaning of
the Seating of the delegates from Illinois
and the decision to enter New Mexico as
a mlSHionfleld will undoubtedly be reached
when that matter comes up for consid-
eration'. The greater -art of the morning aee-
slon of the douthorn Baptist convention
was devoted to the consideration of re-
ports of committees appointed to con-
sider the foreign mission board located
In Richmond of which these reports pre-
sented the work and the needs of the
bonru to further enlarge Its work. The
convention voted to request the churches
to contribute $600000 to the foreign mls-
alnn hoard next vear.
T. H. Kllett of Richmond called atten-
tion to the fact that the board paid
more than 117000 interest on borrowed
money last year because of the delay of
toe mission treasurers in forwarding
money and the convention adopted a res-
olution requesting them to make monthly
remittances to the' board.
SUPPORT FpR CHURCH PRESS.
The denominational newspapers were
given an Inning at the afternoon seaslon.
' Rev. H. C. Moore of Raleigh read a paper
on the mission of the Baptist newspaper
and Rev. George W. Truett D. V. Dallas
Texas made an address on the value of
such papers to the denomination. He ac-
cused the Baptists of the South of not
adequately supporting their papers and
expressed the belief that mission boards
denominational colleges and other agen-
cies could make no more profitable In-
vestment than to appropriate a portion
of their expense funds tothe support of
the papers from which they derive so
much help. .
President F. W. Boatrlght of Richmond
college Va. read a report on the Bap-
tist colleges In the Houth showing the
number of such Institutions for men to
be seventeen pecnrnient endowments of
S2.920Hi7 and nineteen! colleges for women
with an endowment of J213.0CK).
W. L. Poteat president of Wakeforest
college. North Carolina addressed the
convention on the denominational college
as an asset to. the churches.
A ripple of excttament was-TW6ked b
a motion to repeal that section of the by-
laws of the convention which fcsfblds ap-
plause on the floor. First It appeared
that the motion was lost. A division waa
called for and it appeared that the motion
prevailed by a majority of two votes
Charles A. Smith of the South Carolina
delegation who was opposed to the mo-
tion called for tie ayes and noes but
before tha call was mad there was a
demand for the regular order and the
matter waa left in the air the by-Jaws
remaining as they have always been.

; ference at Aaheville.
(Houston Post Special.)
A8HEVILLB N. C. May 14. Charges
of maladministration and unacceptablllty
were lodged against Bishop H. O. Morri-
son D. p. of Leeeburg. Fla.. at a stormy
session of the general conference of tha
Methodist fiplscoMj church. South today
by Rev. Vf. ?. Packard D. I). pastor of
the First Methodist church of Houston.
Texas also by Ray. i. C. Chapel pastor
of the Clay Street Methodist church of
Richmond. Va. sAJter a lively debate
participated In by a number of the most
prominent men of the conference acting
under the' law of the church touching
such cases. Bishop W. T. Candler D. D.
who. was. presiding appointed a commit-
tee of tweiity-Bve who were commission-
ed to look into the charges and ascertain
If a trial waa necessary and report their
findings back to the conference at their
earliest convenience.
The entire proceedings of today's sea-
slon were stormy. The storm clouds be-
gan to brew. when the Vamlerbllt uni-
versity matter was again brought into
the limelight The question briefly
slated seems to be who shall elect the
trustees of that Institution. The com-
mission appointed by the last general
conference decided that the general con-
ference alone had tha right but tha
board of trustees of Vamlerbllt univer-
sity has not accepted this decision In
terms sufficient to satisfy tha members
of the conference.
DENNY PRECIPITATED 8TORM.
The storm center however did not
break until Dr. Collins' Denny chairman
of the committee on Episcopacy stated
that a document had been delivered to
him as he was entering the conference
room which purported to contain charges
against the administration of Bishop
Morrison and asked that the conference
proceed accordingly to the law of tha
church in the matter.
After a lively and spirited debate the
matter was disposed of for the present
as above stated and the following com-
mittee of twenty-five all of whom are
clerical members of the conference were
appointed by tha chair tn take action
and make such recommendations to the
conference as the charges justified: A. M
Cox. J. H. O'Bryant. T. J. Pettvman
I W. Moore J. M. Perrv. P. M. Bowen
J M. Barcus J. N. Kennedy J. W.
Blankard J. D. Simpson A. j. Weeks

TEXANS ON COMMITTEE.
Four of the committee are Texas man.
The committee met and effected an or-
ganization by electing E. W. Alderson of
Terrell Texas chairman and J. M. Bar-
cus of Georegtown Texas as secretary.
Tha committee went Into executive ses-
sion at S p. m. and when The Post corre-
spondent called fhey said nothing waa
to be given out until Monday morning.
This Is the first time in the history of
the church that such proceedings have
been InatlfMted against one of her chief
pastors. Bishop Morrison is regarded as
one of the greatest members at the epis-
copal college and while thehargee are
purely against his admlrjefration and In
hawIu omlnit riia mn ifl phnrtKta v!
L the entire conference regrets exceedingly
fnai ooarges 01 ansa nature snouia do
lodged against him. Bishop Morrison has
always occupied the-Ma-heA places in the
church. Ha was regarded as one of tha
most successful pastors in the church be-
fere - he was elevated to the episcopacy
which was twelve years age and for eight
years preceding his elevation' to that high
office he waa the general aerretary of
tha board of missions and enjoys the dis-
tinction of raising more money for that
department of the church than any man
before or since.
ORIGIN olFcHAROES.
Dr. Packard the minister who brings
the charges Is also a minister of recog-
nized ability. Prior to his present pas-
torate he filled the Frst church at Mar-
shall Texas. Dr. Packard Is not present
and la not expected to attend the proceed-
ings of the investigation committee. Tha
charges as touching Bishop Morrison's
administration seems to have grown out
of his actions during the Texas confer-
ence soma three years ago in that some
members of that conference took excep-
tions to his administration in the matter
of .the assignment of pastors.
At a late hour the committee on in-
vestigation In the case of Bishop Morrison
decided unanimously that no trial on any
of the charges lodged Is necessary and
they were thrown out. The matter of
the bishop's case now goes back to the
committee on episcopacy and it is gen-
erally believed that it will report against
superannuation. In case of a negative re-
port however the question will be fought
out on the floor of the conference.
The committee on revlsals gave out
tonight that the .nemorial presented by
Rev. J. M. Peterson of Dallas aafclng that
all membet of the conference boards be
made l'eniuers of the annual conferences
would be recommended for adoption.
Tomorrow will be a busy day with the
visiting ministers. All the pulpits of the
city- will be occupied by them as will
many of the surrounding towns. Among
the Texans billed to deliver sermons to-
morrow are Rev. J. M. Barcus Bishop
Joseph 8. Key George S. Sexton Sam
K. Hay ana nev. u. w warier.
MISSIONARY SOCIETY MERGER.
The merging of the missionary societies
of the church at today's sessions is a
matter of comment. The women are sat-
isfied and declare it Is tuelr great under-
taking as formerly.
The election of bishops will take place
Monday and the consensus of opinion is
that Rev. J. C. Kllgore and Mr. Collins
DensV will be elected on the first bajlot.
The committee on education reported
on the differences between Vanderbilt
university and the church and recom-
mended that the board of trustees may
be invited to meet the committee In
Ashevllle not later than May 18 to dis-
cuss these differences and adjust them if
possible . ;
By an almost unanimous vote the con-
ference decided to adopt the resolution
calling for the meeting ef the board of
trustees in Ashevllle. " " -
By a vote-tjf the conference and at the
request of Dlshop Joseph S. Key of
Texas he was granted the superannuate
relation.
' The committee on investigation was ap-
g)lnted by the bishops Ip the ease of
Ishop Morrison and the conference ad-
journed with the benediction. .

THROUGH KING'S DEATH

tegrity lie deep down In unexpected quar-
ters in the masses of the Irish people
Born of poor people one of a delicate
family most of whom have died Of con-
sumption compelled thus from his boy-
hood to be a breadwinner for many oth-
ers he had to take the first work that
came to his hands and for several years
had to act as manager of a small Bel-
fast saloon on not high wages.
But even when breathing this pesti-
lential atmosphere physically and other-
wise the fine soul and mind of the youth
asserted themselves. With no effort on
his part he became the friend and the
leader of all the young men of his city;
organized bigger subscriptions towards
patgn or any personal purpose but as
soldiers in the Nationalist army of Ire-
land. He looked after their Intellectual
as well as political education founded
literary societies a National club and
organized bigger subscriptions towards
the funds of the Irish party than were
contributed by any other city In Ireland.
He also had to keep Watch over the
lives and property of his fellow Cath-
olics In a city where they form only one-
fourth of the population where Toryism
and Protestanism are of a particularly
violent type and where religious riots
some of them very sanguinary have not
been Infrequent. Fearless outspoken
uncompromising. It seemed likely that
Devlin . would have become an object of
Intense hatred to those militant Orange-
men with whom he was brought into
such frequent and fierce collision.
ORANGEMEN RESPECT HIM.
Yet the opposite has happened. He
commands the respect and even the af-
fection of large sections even of the
Orangemen largely by the generosity of
his character and the breadth of his
sympathies. Belfast is a city of terrific
contrasts. It has great shipping yards
great linen mills a thriving pushful
wide-awake population Indeed. looks
more like an American city than almost
any other city in the three kingdoms.
But on the other side it has a verv poor
people and a very underpaid people.
Children begin to work at a cruelly early
age and life is short among many sec-
tions of workers in consequence.
This has given birth to a strong wave
of democratic feeling even among the
Orangemen who In Belfast are a curious
combination of strong religious bigotry
which is seventeenth rather than twen-
tieth century and of fierce independence
and a certain sympathy with the labor
movement and party in England. Devlin
Is a humanitarian above all things and
Instinctively the Orangemen recognize In
him therefore a man whose lines of
though approach their own In many
points.
Devlin also won the sympathy even of
his opponents by a rugged Independence
which now and then brought film Into
severe conflict with a very Indiscreet
Catholic bishop who for some years ruled
over the diocese of Belfast and who
In spite of constant remonstrances from
Rome waged fierce warfare with his
Nationalist flock. Devlin's firmness and
final victory when the old. bishop died
and an able and sympathetic man took
his place did a great deal to remove the
popular Orange error that every Cath-
olic Nationalist was a mere obedient
servant of ecclesiastical oontrol whether
wise or foolish an absurd mlsconceptlon
both of the Irish ecclesiastical and the
Irish laymen.
FORCED INTO COMMONS.
In time Devlin got Into the habit of
attending public meetings In the south;
his fervid oratory and passionate sin-
cerity produced an Immediate Impression
and In time every county wanted him.
Then against his will for he had always
these brothers and platers and old parents
to think of he was almost forced to enter
the house of commons.
Soon after there tame a vacancy In the
most Important post In Ireland In the
ranks of the Nationalists that of secre-
tary to the United league. The impor-
tance of this position will be realized If
you are aware first that to the masses of
the Irish people the government of their
country and of their daily lives is more
la the hands of this organization and of
Its secretary than in those of the British
official called the chief secretary who re-
sides In Dublin castle.
There is no department of the lives of
the masses which Is not touched by the
United Irish League and the secretary.
The gigantic transformation which is now
ftoing on In Ireland and which is throw-
ng back and extirpating the old Ireland
of penal days and landlord rule as com-
pletely as an earthquake In an old city
brings home to almost every peasant a
great opportunity to be gained or lost.
Everywhere tenants on great estates are
meeting to discuss the terms on which
they will buy out their lands with as-.
sistance or tna state rney iook tor ad-
vice and assistance to the priests to their'
local leaders but above all to the or-
ganization and its secretary. It Is he
who has to tell them that they are of-
fering too little or too much to con-
demn and dominate them If they be un-
reasonable and too hard-fisted to dis-
suade them If they seem likely to tie
arounr their necks and those of their
children a too heavy" burden for the fu
ture.
Another great sphere of operations la
the restoration of evicted tenants. More
than 4000 people who were driven out of
their farms whose houses were rased to
the ground whose fields were given over
either to men specially brought in or to
waste over 4000 such tenants have been
restored to their holdings or to other
holdings equally good during the last
few years. All these tenants hsve owed
the preparation and success of their claims
to toe league and to Its inexhaustible sec-
retary. . -
OLD AGE PENSIONS. " . I
Another and -even more exacting task;
was thrown on Devlin when the old age
pensions scheme was" passed. Old sge
pensions were a boon to England; to Ire-'
land they were the opening up of an era
of hope ease and comfort such. their
wildest dreams never contemplated.
Ireland got the biggest Slice of the big
gift to the old snd the poor not by an
exaggerated number of claims though
as elsewhere some people whose title was
defective claimed but by the sad. and
still 'existent fact that the proportion ef
the very poor to the rest et the popula-

tlon still Is hugely greater tn Ireland
than In any other of the three kingdoms.
And Devlin had to advise to warn to
fight for a large number of the old age
pensions.
Add to this the contol of a vast num-
ber of branches the settlement of their
disputes the rebuke of their occasional
folUes and violence the Watchful man-
agement of their officers so that honest
men may control and the dishonest be
kept under and It will be seen what a
responsible and laborious office this man
has to discharge. This involves his al-
most constant presence in Ireland but
he has to travel during the parliamentary
session to London to take part In the di-
visions and in debates.
He does not like speaking in the house
of common. An enthulast self-distrustful
nervous he finds the atmosphere of
the house of commons repulsive and if
it were not for some act of provocation
on the part of William O'Brien rTtm
Healy he would rarely open his Hps. But
he has a high spirit; m does not know
fear; he has all the passion of an Irish-
man defending the Irish cause against
faction and dishonesty and he can not
sit still when he thinks the cause Is being
endangered.
It was a little virulent and senseless
attack on the Irish party and on its pol-
icy in not defeating the budget and dis-
rupting the British and Irish democracies
wmcn mciieu rrom ievnn nis
house of commons success up to this
hour. The budget hsd reached thoso
slumbersome depths which always come
when the closing hours of a long struggle
are .approaching and the conclusion is
foregone.
O'BRIBN'8 PATHETIC FIGURE.
gome of the moat powerful speakers on
the liberal and tory sides addressed
empty and yawning benches. There was
a flutter of mild excitement when Wil-
liam O'Brien rose as there always is
when an Irishman Is expected to attack
his countrymen. O'Brien Is so self-conscious
ihat It Is hard to buppose that any-
thing he does is accidental and his
strange appearance may be self-conscious.
.
He has become ar strange weird and
fathetic figure. The long hatchet fa:o
s surrounded by a straggling unkempt
beard the hair now thinned Is long
and straggling; he wears a curious old
suit of a colorless tweed; his hat In thla
assembly of almost universal stove-pipe
hats Is something that might pass for the
soft "caubeen" of an Irish peasant. A
shaggy wild mem of the woods that is
what he looks like. He waves his arms;
he passes from an Inaudible whisper to a
shriek: he seems like some old unheard
discredited Jewish prophet as he utters
his lamentations and denunciations.
Then rose Devlin as marked a contrast
personally physically and oratorlcally as
could be Imagined' by even the most dra-
matic artificer of contrasts. Devlin Is a
little man. His face clean shaven with
the round cheeks the Irregular nose the
mobile Hps of the typical Celt Is still
most boyish in suggestion. You are not
prepared by tha small size of the man
and the boyish voice for the rich musical
voice speaking by another curious con-
trast" the fervid language of a southern
Irishman in the strange rough accent
of Belfast. ' m Al
At once the whole temperature of the
house changed. It became attentive ex-
cited presently enthusiastic In burn-
ing words Devlin reproached O'Brien for
taking tory money and tory aid to fight
for the houae of lords and against Ire-
land. Then Devlin supported the bud-
Set especially the land increment clauses
rawing In a few rapid sentences s mov-
ing picture of the hard industrial con-
ditions of Belfast. There was an un-
usual and prolonged outburst of cheers
from liberals from labor men as well as
from the delighted Irish benches when
he sat down. -
The poor orator himself was the only
one who did not realise his triumph. He
thought he had been Incoherent ineffec-
tive beneath himself. For this little man
with the boyish face Ie that strange com-
bination of the courage of a lion and
the nerves of a woman. He is consumed
by self-distrust; he goes to fight any
giant but he goes with tremulous nerve
not In fear of them but In distrust of
himself. But Asquith's stately compli-
ments tn his speech and Winston
Churchill's hurried note of thanks and
congratulations and the .look of delight
In every English friendly and In every
loyal Irish face told their tale and con-
quered the modesty of this remarkable
man.

He declined to say from whom he had

Mr. Kerby said that the question had
not been an eaBy one to decide from an
ethical and moral standpoint.
"Notwithstanding considerable pressure
from newspaper reporters" he said "I
had refused to make the story public
believing the proper course was to wait
uMt'i I could be called as a witness but
the attitude of the committee in prac-
tically shutting off inquiry regarding the
memotandum by Lawler convinced me
that the only course to adopt to make
the facts public would be to give it to
the press."
He emphatically denied that the so-
called Plnchot side of the controversy
had anything to do with the publication
of his statement. He said former Secre-
tary Garfield knew or the facts in his

nothing to do with their publication.
