REBUKE FOR GIFFORD PINGHOT. President Taft Finds Chief Glavis (Jnilty of TJnjiutly Impeaching tho Integrity of His Su perior Officer. Albany, N. Y., Sept. 10. President Tnft has upheld Secretary of the Inte Tlor Dalllngor In the lntter8 oontro rersy with Glfford Plnchot of the rec lamation service und In doing so ha criticised the methods of Plnchot to uch an extent that it is expected on tho presidential train that he will leave tho government service. In addition, the president orders the discharge of L. II. Glavis, chief of Hold division of the general hind of fice, who made the formal charges RICHARD A. BALLINGEIt. against Balllnger that Plnchot talked of In his speeches on tho Paciilc coast I Glavis Is discharged for filing a dlsln-1 tenuous statement unjustly impeach ing the official Integrity of his supe rior oilleers. The president specifically exonerate? Secretary Balllngcr from the charge ol using his office for porsonal ends, reit erates his Interest in the conservation of natural resources and expresses confidence that BalUuger also has con Borvntlon as one of his principal poli cies. The president says ho agrees with the secretary of the Interior that con servation must be carried on within the law, indicating clearly that In his opinion Plnchot has been going beyond tho law in reclamation of land. He says he will ask from congress legisla tion that will simplify the work ol reclamation. Part of his letter on the Glavis charges is as follows: On tho ISth day of August last Mr. L. B. Glavis, chief of field division of the general land offlco, with headquarters at Seattle, Wash., called upon me and sub mitted a report relating to the conduct it'rJnTirK";! larly to the action of yourself, Assistant I becretary Pierce, Commissioner of the General Land Offlco Dennett and Chief ol Field Service Schwartz in reference to th. an f..,t , - , . land claim in airbWb Mr. Qlavls' report does not formulate ' his charges against you and tho others, but by Insinuation and Innuendo as well as by direct averment he does charge 1 that each one of you while a public of- fleer has taken steps to aid the Cunning. ' ham claimants to secure patents based on claims that you knew or have reason to believe to be fraudulent and unlawful, i Tho whole record shows that Mr. Glavis i was honestly convinced of tho illegal character ox the claims In the Cunning- 1 bam group and that he was seeking evl-1 denoe to defeat the claims. But lt also . shows that there was delay on his part In preparing the evidence with which to , bring this, with other claims, to hearing 1 and that Justice to the claimants requlr-1 ed more speedy action than tho depart-1 mant, through Mr. Glavis, seems to have ' taken. I The reading ot the whole record leaves no doubt that In Ma zeal to convict your self, Acting Secretary Ptoroe, Commis sioner Bennett and Mr. Schwartz he did ' not give me we oeooot ot information ghhtntathirasa8nw1nShhm! mj do oonsisxem wun an impartial atti- 1 tude on your part toward tlw claims In queouon. You are therefore authorized to dis miss L. It. Glavis from the service ot the government for filing a disingenuous statement unjustly Impeaching tho of ficial integrity ot hie superior officers. Turning to the Ptncbot controversy, President Tnft says: Another tnstajnee In your conduct of the department which has been mentioned as indicative of your purpose to block the general plan of conservation of national resources Is your refusal to carry out a contract made In the last administra tion between the secretary of the Into rlor and the secretary of agriculture, by which the Interior department delegated to the forestry bureau ot the agricultural department the power and duty to con serve the foreeU on the Indian reserva tions, Your declination to carry out the con traet was made necessary by a ruling of IteJWtlrJAt ichMi Rrrtnae- I C". ment Is a delegation of responsibility nixl authority for the expenditure of money which the appropriation by congress for the Indian bureau did not authorize. While I agree that it would avoid waste ful duplication In organization to author ize the forestry bureau of the agricul tural department to take caro of and de velop the forests on Indian reservations, because the forestry bureau is much bet ter able, with Its trained mon, to do the work with efficiency and economy. It Is plainly necessary, In view of the comp troller's ruling, to socure congressional sanction for such co-operation. Meantime your withdrawal from an un authorized contract does not furnish the Slightest basts tor attrtrotlng to you un friendliness to proper prestation. In my Judgment, hs is the best friend of the policy of conservation of natural resources who insists that every step taken in that direction should bo within the law and buttressed by legal authori ty. Insistence on this is not inconsistent with a wholehearted and bona tide Inter est and enthusiasm In favor of the con servation policy. From my conferences with you and from everything I know In respect to the conduct of your department I am able to say that you are fully in sympathy with the attitude of this administration In fa vor of tho conservation of national re sources. "I am very much gratified with the president's disposition of the matter," said Secretary of the Interior Ballln ger when linked to comment on Presi dent Tuft's letter. TABS MUST STOP ROWDYISM.
