WHITEWASHING OF BALLINGER (Continued from Pago 1.) coaj fields). The law attempts to prevent monopoly of such claims by limiting tho amount of each claim and nrovidine thnt each claimant must tako up the land in his own in to'rest and for his own use. This, law has been interpreted by the supremo court of the United Stntes to forbid speculating in coal lands before en try either by dummy entrymcn or by previous agrecmento to consoli date clnims after entry. Of these 900 clnims in Alaska coal lands: among them the so-called Cunning; ham group the majority nro fraud ulcnt. Bnlllngcr's Actions. "As to the action of the land of fice on these claims', I assert thnt the land office ordered tho Cunninghnm claitas to patent without due invosti gation when Commissioner Ballingor know thoy woro under suspicion; that whilo in office Commissioner Ballin ger urged congress to pass a law which would validato fraudulent Alaska claims; that shortly after rc signing from office ho became at torney for the Sunninghnm group nnd other Alaska claims; that soon alter he became secretary of tho interior his office rendered a decision which wouia nave vnuuaieu uu 1 minimum Alaska clnims. A reversal of that de cision on evory point was obtained from Attorney-General WicCcrsham. Had it not been for Mr. Wickersham's decision every fraudulent Alnshn claim would have gone to patent. I assort that in tho spring of 1909 tho land office urged mo to nn enrly trial of these cases before tho investiga tion whs finished, nnd when Secre tary .Ballingor, as tho president has stated, knew that the Cunningham claims were invalid. When I appeal ed to Secretary Ballingor for post ponement, he referred mo to his sub ordinates. Tho department of agri culture intervened. I was superseded in tho charge of the cases, and the man who superseded me indorsed my recommendations, nnd the joBtponc- ment wns grouted. Immediately thereafter I made my ronort on tho Cunninghnm cases to President Tult and wns dismissed from tho sorvico for insuhordinntion. President Sees Insult. "The president lins chosen to treat my report as n chnrgo of criminal ity. I made no such chnrge, nor do I make it now. Tho president's let- tor is a defense of Mr. Ballingor nnd Mr. Dennett from charges not mndo in my report to him. I was not in vestigating either Mr. Ballingor r Mr. Dennett, but tho Alaska conl cases. Because I knew that lhc.c cases woro to come before Mr. Den nett nnd that there Vns no appeal from his decision snvo to Scoretaiy Ballingor, because Secretary Ballin ger lind stated he would not act in these cases and because tho next ranking officer of tho department was assistant Secretary Pierce, who had signed tho decision wliich Mr. Wickershnm hnd overruled, I believed the Alnska coal oases were in dan ger. The president lias scon in this nothing but overzenl and insubord ination on my part, nnd nn opportu nity to praise tlie secretary of tho interior. I Jinvo not; been informed what answer the department of tho interior hns made to my Btntemcut, hut the public will judge whetlier J nm right in thinking the Alaska coal claims are still in danger."
