LARGE CAPITAL NEEDED DcTelopment of Mines Proved 'ot to Be rndertaklng for Few Men, ' declares Witness In Alaska Coal-Land. Hearing. SEATTLE. Nov. 24.-For the ftrst tune inc. the hearing opened, the relations , pf the sa-called GURgenhelm n'fr?st the Cunningham claimants was laken i p , by the claimants in the inquiry into 4 the Alaska coal land cases today Although it had been expected that the claimants would nojt put any witnesses - on the stand until the hearing was tnftn ferred to Spokane, the attorneys for both sides held a conference this morning and fleclded to go ahead with the case here taking the testimony of those witnesses who reside in Seattle. - Charles J. Smith, the Seattle banker who built the exposition and who Is one of the claimants interested in the Cun ningham group, was put on the stand by the de&eiwe at the opening of the fternoon session. Mr. Smith, who had several years' experience in- operating coal properties in the-Cascades. was In , terested in the Alaska claims by Mr. Cunningham, who was authorized by him to file on a claim in the Katalla district. Great Expenditure Involved. Mr. Smith said that there never had teen nnv intention of holding the claims for some outside corporation. He said that he knew that it would be impossi ble for one man or three men working together to operate successfully a mine In the Kattala district, owing to the isolation of the properties and the great erpenditure that would be required to get the coal to tidewater. He said that It was the understanding that they would - act together for the purpose of carrying on that work which could not be suc cessfully carried out by the claimants acting separately. Mr. Smith said that he had paid out J2200 as his share of the expenses of making the filings and carrying on the prospective work. In July. Vfl, Mr. Cun ningham informed him that the so-called Guggenheim interests proposed to build a railroad from the mines to tidewater . j-, i tU.1,4 ' onH c 'i Til thaf SL meeting was to be held at Spokane to r consider tr.e proposition, air. mmiu . asked to attend the meeting, but said that he could not go. Later Cunningham Informed him that a committee had been erpointed at the Spokane meeting to take tip the subject with the representative of the Guggenheim interests. Railroad Deal Made. As a result of the efforta of this com mittee an agreement was drawn up which provided that the Guggenheims would build a line from thymines to tidewater, Jn return for which they wera to- handle the output of the mines. Smith asserted he was not a party to this transaction. Later the claimants formed a company to build their own road. This company wae chartered. ' .Smith then told of a little tilt he had with L. R. Glavis. at that time a special agent for the Government. Mr. Cunning ,' ham brought Glavis into . Smlth'a office after the claims had been held up. Cun ningham said Glavis' wanted them to sign an affidavit setting forth that they had no intention of holding the coal claims for the Guggenheims. Combination Not Designed. "I talked a little short." said Mr. Smith on the stand, "and I told . Glavis that I had made all the affidavits J was going to make. I had already signed three or four declaring 'I bad no Intention of forming an illegal combination and I was tired of the delay. I said that I was willing to let the matter rest on the statements I had already made, but when . Glavis explained he wanted this affidavit to clear up a belief prevalent in the .Land Office that we were working for the Guggenheims I consented. "I was under the impression that this would clear th whole matter up and that there would be no further delay in the delivery of our patent." Smith was not cross-examined, but It is probable that the attorneys for the Government will take him in band the first thing Friday morning. Forestry Agents Hurried. One point brought out in the hearing was the fact that the forestry agents who were sent to Alaska to go over the claims made only a cursory investiga tion owing to the demand of the General Land Office that they hurry thrbugh with the work. S. N. SnoWden, a marpmaker in the em ploy of the Government, who prepared the maps showing the location of the improvements of the claims, admitted - that he spent only six days in the field, during wh'ch time he was supposed to go over n;bre than 5000 acres of moun tainous country. Under cross-examination he said that there might be some points that he had missed. One of the points claimed by the Gov ernment is that some of the claims aro more valuable for the timber that is on them than for coal, and in proof of this contention --Forestry Agent TV. A. Langillo testified that he found several million feet of standing timber -on those portions of the claims that are included In the Chugach National Reserve.

OLTMPIA, XV ash., Nov. 24. (Spe, clal.) The state general fund tonight has but $61,161.24 cash in excess of outstanding warrants according to a statement prepared by State Treasurer John G. Lewis. This means that probably within, a fortnight all cash will be exhausted, and unless Governor Hay Issues state bonds, the state will Issue interest bearing warrants instead of paying cash. By Issuing bonds, $90,000, now in the permanent school fund, may be secured .in cash to meet the state ex penses. But this may not be done. State warrants, if issued, will run-only- until Spring, and. although they draw higher interest than state bonds, the permanent school fund can be in vested only in 20-year school district bonds. State Treasurer Lewis believes the latter Investment with its long term would be a better, investment of the permanent fund and will urge war rants be issued rather than bonds.
