SERIOUS CHARGE IS MADE AGAINST PRESIDENT TAFT Cleveland Paper Says His "Whitewash Letter" of Bal linger Was Prepared In In terior Department. A CLEVELAND PAPER MAKES CHARGE TODAY It Alleges That Stenographer Who Prepared Document Admitted This Fact Causes Big Sensation. (American News Service) Cleveland, May 14. The Cleveland Press publishes today at special dis patch under a Washington date, purporting to reveal the whole truth concerning the circumstances surrounding the preparation of President Taft's letter of September 13, 1909, in which Tatt defends Secretary of the Interior Ballinger in the now famous Pinchot-Glavis-Ballinger controversy. The special dispatch declares in substance that the very statement Taft Issued to the people of the United States exonerating Ballinger was prepared in a large measure by Oscar Lawler In the law office of the interior department in collaboratibn with Ballinger and high officials of the department, and was then presented to the president who adopted their decision even to the limit of using much of the same language. The dispatch which is extremely lengthy goes Into' great details with what it considers a proof of the statements made, and says that when Taft , was asked by congress to submit the whole record to the investigating committee one of the most Important documents was "falsely put" and another equally important document left out. The dispatch continues: "At a liberal estimate Taft had about eight hours in which to carefully read and weigh this mass of record during the seven day 8 It was in his hands; It was sent to him on September 6, and he dated his Ballinger letter September 13. "When congress asked for the record which Taft had considered, he included among the documents a . decision of over 47,000 words by A'ttorney General Wickersham, but, under a persistent examination of Attorney Brandeis, Ballinger has read a-. letter from Wickersham admitting that the decision was not written for months after th.3 Taft letter was signed. "More than that, not only was this most important document put falsely into the record, but an equally important one was left out The one that was left out was a letter written in the first person, and very substantially a Taft letter, but dictated by Oscar Lawler, a law officer In Ballinger" s department. "The story of this mysterious Lawler letter is told by the man who type wrote, Frederick M. Kirby, stenographer in Ballinger's office." HE TALKS OF UIIIOll -The address of Abraham Gordon, a national organizer for the United Garment Workers, attracted a small but enthusiastic crowd of union men at the city ball last evening. He spoke on the use of the union label. He said that its use on garments signified that the shops in which these were made were sanitary and not run on the sweat shop plan. He hopes to see the Union Garment Workers local of this city rehabilitated again: He said that the local organization had weakened and several of the former members are now working for less than when' they organixed. - . . r -

Waterloo Faced by Aldrich Yesterday When the Long and Short Haul Clause in Bill Is Voted on.

RHODE ISLANDER WAS MISTAKEN IN BACKING Dixon, Finding His Amendment Was in Danger, Took in Paynter's Plan and the Combination Won. Washington, May 14. Senator Aidrich was completely routed upon the long-aud-sbort-haul proposition, in the open senate yesterday afternoon. By a vote of Z to 10 the Dixon amendment declaring it unlawful for a railroad to charge more for a short than for a longer haul, was adopted after it had been modified through the insertion of a proviso taken from- the Paynter amendment and ir this form the proposition went through with flying colors and had the support of all tho progressive republicans, all but five of the democrats voting, and practically the solid alignment of the republican reactionaries. To Save Their Faces. Senators Aldrich and Elkins voted for the Dixon-Paynter amendment, and lined up practically all of their cohorts in favor of its adoption, but it is the universal opinion that support from the reactionaries was accorded the proposition in order to save the faces of the regulars. . The situation had changed completely over night. When the regulars agreed Thursday that voting should begin at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon they felt certain of suffieientrvotes to defeat the Dixon proposal by a majority of eight, but notice was served late Friday afternoon by several of the regulars that the pressure in favor of the adoption of something along the lines of the Dixon, Paynter or Overman amendments was too strong to be resisted, and a few moments before the hour set for the vote the reactionary leaders discovered they were beaten. Put One Over. It was then that Senator Aldrich discovered that Senator Dixon, after conferences between the progressives and with the democrats, intended to modify the so-called Dixon amendment by incorporating an important feature of the amendment offered from the democratic side by Senator"" Paynter of Kentucky, so that the amendment as thus modified was substantially the same as the Paynter amendment and certain of the support of all but a few votes of the minority. This change had been made to bring together the warring elements in the senate democrats, progressive republicans, Insurgent republicans and regular republicans, who had indicated to Aldrich that they were strongly temptto vote for the long and short haul proposition and unwilling to be defeated outright by the coalition of the democrats and progressive republican senators. Tried to Gain Time. When the vote was about to be taken Senator Aldrich suggested to Senator Dixon that a recess be taken for half an hour. The Dixon-Paynter combination had been sprung suddenly, and there were democrats as well as regulars who did not quickly grasp the significance or . the change that had . been made. Senator Dixon was wiling to have a recess in order that explanations might be made and conferences held. Aldrich and the regulars have had their backs to the wall for weeks on the vital sections of the bill. One by one the most objectionable of them has been eliminated, and above all, the Rhode Island leader" was anxious to prevent the adoption of new matter, especially the long and short haul provision. Upon his return to the city last Monday bis canvass convinced him that, while the vote promised to be close, he would win by a majority of eight. Then he decided that the test vote should come Friday. Hope Went Glimmering. Until a few moments of the hour for voting be remained confident. Then all his hopes scattered and for the first time In his parliamentary career he came to the verge of a vote only to find the situation slip out of his grasp. The hasty recess conference indicated that if he insisted upon holding out against the Dixon-Paynter amendment he would be overwhelmingly defeated and rather than have it appear that he had been beaten by a coalition of democrats and progressives he decided to vote for the compromise. RODE THE GOAT. George Green and Edwin Moore were initiated into one of the degrees of FiVendauqua tribe of Red Men last evening.
