TAFT EXONERATES
BALLINGER;; CLAWS
TO BE DISMISSED
PRESIDENT SAYS SECRETARY
is FREE FROM BLAME
Charges in Connection with Cunning
ham Coal Land Claims Declared
Unfounded - "Shreds of
Suspicion

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 15.-President
Taft has exonerated Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger in the matter of the
charges filed by L. r. CLAWS, chief of
the field division of the general land
office, in connection with the Cunning
ham coal land claims in Alaska.
In statement given out today the
president declares Mr.. Claws case en-
braced only "shreds of suspicion with
out circumstantial evidence"
Mr.. Taft also grants Secretary Bal
linger's request for authority to dis
miss Mr.. CLAWS from the service of the
government "for unjustly impeaching
the official integrity Of his superior Of
ficer," and takes occasion to review evil
dence in the so-called water power
trust" and other cases to refute the
charges that the secretary of the in
terror is out of sympathy with the
policy of the administration in favor of
the conservation of natural resources.
Presidents Letter
The statement, which is in the form
of letter to Secretary Ballinger writ
ten before President Taft left his sum-
mer home at Beverly, follows:
BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. 1S.-My
Dear Sir-On the 18th day of August
last L. r. CLAWS, chief of the field
division of the general land office, with
headquarters at Seattle, Wash, called
on me here and submitted a statement
or report relating to the conduct of the
interior department, and particularly
to the action of yourself, Assistant Sec
retary Pierce, Commissioner of the
General Land Office bennett and Chief
of Field Service Schwartz, in reference
to the so-called Cunningham group of
land claims in Alaska.
"Mr. CLAWS report does not formulate
his charges, but by insinuation and in
nuendo as well as by direct averment,
he does charge that each one of you
while a public officer has taken steps
to aid the Cunningham claimants to Sc
cure patents based on claims that you
know or have reason to believe fraudu-
lent and unlawful.
1.-The report, which is voluminous
and contains kilograms, letters and
public documents, I directed to be
copied and sent to you and to the
other officers involved. You and each
of the other gentlemen named have
now made written answers to the
statement of Mr.. CLAWS and accompa-
MED them by additional exhibits taken
from the records of the interior de-
partment, as we'll as by private letters.
Records Examined
IT have examined the whole record
most carefully and have reached a
very definite conclusion. 1t is impos-
sible for me in announcing this con-
clusion to accompany it with review
of the charges and the evidence on
both sides. 1t is sufficient to say that
the case Mr. CLAWS attempted to make
embraces only specters of suspicious
without any substantial evidence to
sustain his attack,
1.-THE whole record shows that Mr.
CLAWS was honestly convinced of the

pretty close and did not go beyond the
pole.
"The flags were up about midday
April Z, and were not moved until late
that evening. The haze had cleared
away early, but we wanted some hours
to make observations. We made three
close together.
''When we first raised the American
flag it's position was behind the igloos'
which, according to our initial obser-
vations, was the position OF the pole,
but on taking subsequent observations
the stars and stripes were moved ana
placed $50 yards west of the hrst po-
sition, the difference in the obserVa-
tions being due, perhaps, TO the NOV
ing ice.
"When the flag was placed Com
mander Peary exclaimed in English:
we will plant the stars and stripes at
the north pole.
I'm the native language I proposed
three cheers, which were given in the
Eskimos own tongue. Commander
Peary shook hands all around and we
had a more liberal dinner than usual
each man eating as much as ne
pleased.
Eskimos Danced
1.-THE Eskimos danced about and
showed great pleasure that the pole at
last was reached.
For years the Eskimos had been
trying to reach that spot, but it was
always with them 'tiquelgh,' which
translated means get so far and no
closer
1--WE exclaimed in a chorus: Ting
neigh timah ketisher,' meaning we
have got there at last
Henson, who reached the farthest
north with Peary three years ago, said
that conditions were about the same
at the pole as elsewhere in the Arctic
circle. All was a solid sea OF ice with
a two-foot lead of open water two
miles from the pole.
The Eskimos who went along on the
final lap were Ootah, Egingwah, Ou-
zaueeah and Sigloo, the two first named
being brothers. Commander Peary
took photographs of Henson and the
Eskimos waving flags and cheering.
1.-THE report is absolutely untrue that
did not go to the pole" said Hem
son. "I went the whole distance"
Henson said he knew that some on
board did not wish him to go to the
pole if they could prevent 1t. He also
said that he saw Peary write the rec
ords which were left in the fee.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-16

n ATTLE HARBOR, Sept. -15.-"We
Il hoisted the Stars and Stripes
~ twice at the north pole" said
Matthew Henson, Commander Robert
e. Pearys negro lieutenant, and the
only other civilized man, according to
Peary, who ever reached the pole.
Hnesen then gave to the Associated
Press an account of one night and two
days he and Commander Peary and
four Eskimos camped at 90 degrees
north latitude.
Henson assisted in raising the Amer
lean flag and he led the Eskimos in the
cheer, an extra cheer for old glory in
the Eskimo tongue being given.
Having passed eighteen years with
Commander Peary and a considerable
portion of that time in the Arctic,
said Henson, II have acquired knowl-
edge of the dialect of northern Green
land Eskimos
1--WE arrived at the pole just before
noon April g. the party consisting OF
the commander, myself, four Eskimos
and thirty-six dogs, divided into two
detachments in number and headed re-
spectively by Commander Peary and
myself
Where They Left Party
1--WE had left the last supporting
party at 81 degrees So minutes where
we separated from Capt. Bartlett, who
was photographed by the commander.
Capt Bartlett regretted that he did
not have a British flag to erect on the
ice at this spot, so that the photograph
might show this as the farthest nortn
to which the banner of Great Britain
had been advanced.
81 kept q personal diary during TINS
historic dash across the Ice field. Our
first task on reaching the pole was to
build two igloos, as the weather was
hazy and prevented taking accurate OBJ
servation to- confirm the distance
Travelled from Cape Columbia.
Having completed the snow houses
we had dinner, which included tea, ana
then retired to rest, thus sleeping one
night at the north pole. The Arctic SUP
was shing when 1 awoke and FOUND
the commander already up. There was
only wind enough to blow out the small
flags. 4,
'iThe ensigns were hoisted toward
noon from the tent poles and tide with
fish lines.

Flames That Threaten
Homes

nHE heroic efforts of a num-
Der of brave fre-fghters
u checked three of the five
great forest fires sweeping South
ern California mountains, but the
two that still burn threaten to do
untold damage unless controlled
Immediately.
The areas now ablaze are in
San Diego county, where heavy
forests, several hay ranches and
much stock grazing ground are
in flames. In Ventura county,
where bee culturists, ranchers
and bean growers are over
whelmed, many fruitful little
valleys are threatened.
The fires reported under con-
troll are those of Mount Pacifico
and vicinity, in Los Angeles coun-
ty, thirty miles north of Mount
Wilson; of the Pacoima and Big
Tehunga region, in the west end
of the San Gabriel forest reserve,
and of the Puente hills, where,
for two days oil men put up a
stubborn fight to save their ex-
tensive fields. The latter fire
may yet be famed to life again,
as the most determined efforts
have not resulted in extinguish-
ing it absolutely.
The most serious fire is that about
Somis and Moorepark, near Oxnard
Hundreds Of acres of hay and beans
have been wiped out and today tho
fire is threatening Moorpark. On
the north side of the range the sweep
has been clean from Wiley's on the
east to Santa Paula and almost to
Saticoy. Many ranch houses have
been destroyed with their surrounding
fields and oil wells near B 7sdale are
reported burned. Telephone commune
cation has been cut off and most of
the news is brought in by fire fighters
exhausted by 60 and 70 hours con-
hict
In the mountains east of San Diego,
near Palomar and Valley Center ex
tensive fires are raging in the heavily
wooded canyons and at late hour
tonight 1t was reported that control
seemed improbable for days. Reports
as to exact extent of these flames are
meagre.
The total damage by all these fires
probably will run into hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Every govern
ment ranger Is on the scene, and vol
unteers and ranchers, fighting for their
homes and property, are assisting.

ESCONDIDO, Sept 15.-Business men
and residents dropped everything this
afternoon to fight the big forest fire on
the Cleveland preserve, five miles east
of this city. The fire started Monday
afternoon and burned over five or six
sections.
The flames are eating their way into
the Escondido valley. The city is
without water owing to the burning of
the flume from the reservoir. Ranchers
in the canyon are moving out their
household goods. Several homes are
surrounded by fire and many haystacks
have been consumed. The range stock
is scattered and the. heat probably will
damage the orange and lemon crop on
the edge of the valley
