WHITEWASHING OF BALLINGER

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 I was superseded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man who superseded me indorsed my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."
