Clavis protested against this and received a letter from the land olllce Intimating that his activity was un- iesirable and that for his own sake it would better cease. He continued to protest, and although he felt that he knew more about these cases than :inyone else, 'they were taken from him and given to Special Agent Sheri dan in Denver, a man who had had only one year's experience and was entirely unfamiliar with the cases. Sheridan was directed to expedite the case. Clavis then made a final protest against the hearing being held before the government could iinlsh the col lection of evidence, and he wrote and wired 'to the law oflicer of the for estry service. Shaw, urging that the forestry people do all in their power to avoid hasty action. The forestry service had jurisdiction because . part of the coal claims lie in the Chugach forest reserve. Upon the representation of Shaw. Secretary Wilson wrote to Secre tary Ballinger requesting a postpone ment, and Shaw went at once to the Interior Department, and asked to see all the files bearing on these :ases. lie was refused access to the papers, and this is said to be the first time in the history of the for estry service that another depart ment denied it access to public docu ments. At about this time Secretary Da!- linger gave out a statement in Seat tle saying that Chief Forester Pin chot was trying to run the Interior Department but llalliuger's acting secretary announced that the hearing had been postponed.

He shat tered the glass panes of the barred windows, demolished a stove and pipe connected with ft and played handball with every loose article generally within his reach. To. use a common expression, he was "crazy drunk." As an accompaniment to his noisy actions, Prolzman uttered loud volleys of profanity, which could bo' heard a block away. This ceased to some extent when Marshal Huffman arrived and locked him in a cell. Protzman was arrested by Huff man after abusing two local citizens with vile language. His companion, "Wash" Moore, who "blew in" from the Bohemia mines this week, was also drunk, but not disorderly. He was locked up, however, and will he given a hearing jointly with Protz man tomorrow morning.
