FISHER DISALLOWS
N
CLAMS
Ruling in Coal Cases Thought
to Close Doors to Cuuning
ham Claimants.
BALLINGER NOT REVERSED
Hx-Scmarj, In Slj-ned Statement,
Says Claims Not TTnder ITU
Jurisdiction ; Calls Decision
Politic!, Not Judicial.
CcmlntKd TTava First rs-
tear ar questions of 1 which they
tiestr to present to th court.
"It U my understanding; tt I con
reded that tn finding's npon the facts
fry th department ar coneluslf.
"Tt Is th Intention of th depart
ment to proceed to a final determina
tion of th remaining- Alaskan coal
claims, so far aa this can properly ba
Ion, denying thoss that should bo
nld and srrantln thoso that should
fc rraated as rapidly as possible.
Fisher Criticise Coal Laws.
"1 do not belters th present laws
kppllcable to coal lands In Alaska ar
rls or practicable lawa. Nevertheless,
their prorlstona must be enforced,
first, because they ars tha law. and
econd. because they afford the only
protection to the public welfara against
tha abase of monopoly and unrestrict
ed .private exploitation. I sincerely
trust that these laws wl'.l ba modified
at the nest session of Congress so as
to permit the development of tho
Alaska coal fields under provisions that
will more-adequately protect and pro
mot the public Interest. If. therefore,
the claims now pending under th ex
isting law are entitled to patent. I see
no justification for not taking action
upon them as promptly aa the depart
ment can be assured that It Is In
possession of the facts upon which
urn action can ultimately be taken.
Commissioner Dennett. In his de
cision holding the claim for cancel
lation on tha ground of fraud, declare
that each of the entrle was Improp
erly allowed because of fatal defect
apparent on their face.
Guggenheim Toole Option.
He assert that th Government con
clusively established, th charge
toronght against th claimant and that
there la no doubt that an agreement
existed between them. In violation of
the law.
The n claim Involved amounted to
an aggregate area of (ISO acres. Th
value of th land ha been estimated
JsIsTh In th millions. The coal embraced
In th claim 1 said to be among th
finest In th world.
Claims Said to IV "Co-Owned."
"There seem to be no doubt." said
Tnnett In his decision, "that In th
berinnlng the participants were aub
cribera for Joint Interests and not
owners of separate aialms and that
the substantial character of the trans
action never chanced- In 1905 they
were still 'co-owners of a single claim,
althouch In order to acquire It each
particular claim had been alloted to
particular Individual and had been
entered by hlra In his name."
The original agreement with the
Guczenhelms contemplated the forma
tion of a corporation aa soon a the
titles were secured. This plan gave
the Guggenheims the right to mine
the coal on a royalty basts. The Uug
g.nhelms were then to build a railroad
from the mlnea to the Coast. Aa final
ly entered into, the agreement with the
OuKgenhetirt? for a sale aroused serious
eb'ectlon from several claimants.
"Tbe fact." says Commissioner Den
nett, "that It was reported to th Gug
genheim that there were II Independ
ent claimants to be reckoned with In
re wise strengthens the defense. It Is
sot to be supposed that any man rep
resenting; these entrymen as a com
mittee would suggest to a prospective
purchaser of the property that the
claims were Illegal, and the several en.
arte subject to forfeiture.
Work Taid I "or In Common.
"That all the work ao far done was
paid for from the common fund Is
not denied. It Is admitted by the
claimants and frankly stated la the
brief of their counsel that on claim
of 19 acres cannot be profitably
worked, that sometime and somehow
the claims must be operated together.
Is It reasonable to suppose that busi
ness men would agree to the common
Investment of their money Jointly to
explore a coal field In Alaska with the
understanding that the several claims
should be operated separately or with
no understanding with respect to the
rest Would they consent to spend
money Jointly where there wu to be
S common profit?
"The plan from the outset wa to
acquire a coal field at Joint expense,
to be developed for the common bene
fit. There wa not at any time a de
parture from thi original compact,
ave the substitution of the salary to
Cunningham for th one-eighth Inter
est he Intended to ecur In the sr
era I claims.
"They exercised no cholc In th se
lection of their claims, manifested no
Interest la their individual valuea and
except per hap Baker) sought no In
formation aa to their respective loca
tion. The field Jointly acquired by
ti .f han .nit exniored at the com
mon expense wa th only object of
their solicitude.

POLITICS BLAMED BT LAWYER
Attorney Ilufbee, for Claimants, De
clares Case Wa Prejudged.
SEATTLE. Wash. June J. (Spe
cial.) E. C. Hughes, who represented
th Cunningham claimants In th hear
ings, mad th following tatement to
night: "I cannot say that th decision of
tbe Land Commissioner, which appears
to be conourred in by Secretary Fisher,
comes aa any surprise to me. Until
this controversy waa finally submitted
In oral argument before th Commis
sioner and his law board. Secretary
Fisher sitting with them. I had Im
plicit confidence In the ultimate suc
cess of th claimants. At the time of
the hearing, however, the attitude of
the ofnclala before whom the case was
argued wa such aa to Indicate very
plainly that th case had been prejudged-
At this hearing th Govern
ment was not represented by ccmnsel.
and th question propounded, partic
ularly by th Secretary. Indicated a
much greater familiarity wHh the Pln
chot brief than with th record In the
case.
-So far a the Cunningham claims
ar conoerned. their validity would
never have been questioned but lor
the political agitation of the laat three
rears. The claims were located by
Clarence Cunningham as agent, a prac
tice which ha been approved oy me
rules of the department for many years.
The law does not require that ang as
sessment or other work be done on the
ground after the locations ar made.
"The Executive Department of this
Government, however, appear to be
willing, for reasons of political ex-
nerftencv. not only to connscate prop
erty which has been purchased In com
pliance wita in laws 01 v.unieo, out
to sacrifice th reputations of men.
I do not car to make any further com
ment upon th decision or tn ae-
partment than to say mai no won w
Justice could, upon the facts In th
record of thi case, hav decided ad
versely to th claimants. With th
rejection of these claims there can be
little) hope that any claimant will uo
coed In obtaining patenta to coal lands
la Alaska."
DECISIONS' HELD SOP TO CLAMOR
Administration Intimidated, Say
Mile C Moore.
WALLA WALLA. Wash. Jun J.
(Pneclal.) "Favorable decision In tn
Cunnlnxham land entries wer not ex
pected by th claimants." said ex-Governor
Miles C. Moore, when shown th
decision tonight. Popular clamor.
misrepresentation or th press, ana
the untrue stories of the magu'nes
had tbe effect of Intimidating the Ad
ministration so they did not dare to
give aa unbiased Judgment."
"We will carry me manor o im
Supreme Court for a Judicial review
of the case, ana win uj no mrwi, uiuy
it where It stands. Y Believe our
entrle ar all right," said Judge Ver-
imuL attorney for Balllnger in in
Congressional Investigation, who told
that committee that no mora regular
entrle had ever been mad than tnos
of the Cunningham group.
"The charge waa a violation or mis
interpretation of the law by the Cun
ningham entrants, on which two dis
tinguished Federal judges nave al
ready disagreed.
The decision. I reel ur. waa noi
unbiased, but was made under popular
clamor Induced by misrepresentations
of the dally press and tbe magazines
of the country."
