ter Of the claims. is now the chief OBJ
stacle to government success in the
| Cunningham cases
Nor do | understand why the pres
ident puts so much stress on the fact
that Mr.. Ballinger received only $3.50
for ten or fifteen days services and
the expense Of trip from Seattle to
Ohio and Washington. Even If that
be credible, Mr.. Ballinger was then
attorney for other Alaska coal claim
ants, and according to sworn infor-
nation made to me in the course of
my investigation, for at least one
congressman Interested in Alaska coal
lands. "a
From October, 1908, when I was
directed to continue my investiga-
tions Of the Alaska coal land cases,
until March, 1909 1 was continuous
ly engaged in that and other work
in my department.
In March. 1909, Mr.. Balllnger be-
came secretary of the interior, sue
ceeding Hon. James r. Garfield.
On March Z (six days after Mr..
Ballinger took office) received a
telegram from Mr.. bennett, then

these claims. Special Agent Jones and

Wits OF Cunningham claimants show
ing their intention TO consolidate their
claims. Then we went to see Cum
ningham. Cunningham stated that he
had heard that some one complained
that he was taking claims for the
Guggenheims. (The Jones report to
Ballinger contained the allegation that
all indications pointed to the Guggen-
helms. but IL does not appear how
Cunningham got his confidential in
formation). In order TO refute this
charge, Cunningham showed US his
books. These books contained men,
orandum agreement. dated 1903, be-
tween the entrymen to consolidate the
coal lands. This agreement was IL
legal for two reasons-because II at
tempted 10 consolidate more than the
Law allowed, and because the agree
ment showed that the entrymen took
10 the land with the intention Of deed
ing II 10 company and giving Cum
ningham one-eighth Of the stock.
Afterward, and while Jones and l
we're taking Cunningham's affidavit,
Ex-Governor Miles c. Moore Of Wash
ington, one Of the Cunningham claim
ants. came In and stated that he had
had recent interview with Mr. Bal
Hnger in Washington, and that Mr..
Ballinger would have patented the
Cunningham claims but for my pro-
test. This information given Moore,

my obtaining the affidavit from Cum
ningham. In fact, the information
obtained by this claimant, Miles C.
Moore, from the Land Office in Wash
ington, considerably hampered me in
my efforts TO get evidence. The CIV
ing out Of such information was con-
trary to express regulations Of the In
terror Department.

gram and letter, ] was taken off the
Alaska cases in May, 1908, and or
dered on other work. The reason CIV
en- for this action was lack Of funds
reported by telegram that delay Of
the investigation would greatly lessen
the Governments chance to secure
evidence.
In October, 1908, was ordered back
to the Alaska cases by letter of Act
ing Assistant Commissioner Schwartz,
stating that my work had been sus-
pended pending legislation.
BaIllnger Urges Congress to Help
Claims.
Mr. Ballinger retired as Commis-
sioner Of the Land Office in March,
1908. A few days before, while still
ar officer Of the United States, Mr..
appeared before the House
Committee on Public Lands in favor
Of the Gale bill, then pending. In the
course Of his statement, he said:
%. the last section Of the bill pro-
yldes for a consolidation Of existing
entries and does not call for the proof
Of good faith Of the original entry or
location. There are great many
charges pending against some Of the
original entries in Alaska. At the
time these fields were located, corpor-
atoms were organized. The men had
really no method Of taking advantage
1f thes coal measures. II resulted in
their getting involved in conditions
which, upon the records Of the Land
office, are technical violation Of the

ing used to impeach the validity of the
claims by Special Agent Claws You
accepted the employment; visited Sec
retary Garfield and Commissioner
bennett; presented the question to
them in respect to which you had been
consulted; found that there was no
probability of securing a patent Of the
claims without presenting them under
remedial legislation imposing condi-
tions which the claimants were either
unwilling or unable to meet You so
advised your clients. To pay your
travelling expenses and for your SER
vices you received $3.50 and no more.
"The inference which Mr.. CLAWS
seeks to have drawn to your discredit
in this connection is that you. while
Commissioner of the General Land Of
flee, came into possession of facts con-
cerning the so-called Cunningham
group of coal claims, which made it
improper for you to use such facts az
ter your resignation in the course of
securing the patents. / find the fact
to be that, as Commissioner, you ac-
quired no knowledge in respect to the
claims except that Of the most formal
character, and nothing which was not
properly known to your clients when
they consulted you"
l do not quite understand the Pres
idents statement that Mr.. Ballinger
had only the most formal knowledge
OF the Cunningham cases. Mr. Bal
linger had all the knowledge anybody
in the department had because Special
Agent Jones and / told him all we
knew. Mr. Ballinger knew that he
had revoked the order to patent Mr.
Cunnighams claims on account OF my
protest that / believed they were not
bona-fide entries. He knew, or might
have known, that then had no con-
elusive proof against the claims. Mr.
Ballinger had made a statement to
the Congressional Committee as to
these claims, the nature Of the de-
fenses, and the legislation which was
need to make them valid, and he had
ordered them investigated by Love,
Jones and myself. Whether there was
any improperly in his later acting for
the Cunningham group, the President
is doubtless better judge than I.
One point, however, IS interesting in
the light Of later events. The Presi-
dent in his letter states that Mr. Bal
llnger, as o private attorney, advised
that the Cunningham group could not
obtain presumably because
the entries were not, under the law,
made in good faith for the benefit Of
each entryman. Nevertheless, the af-

statute, and 1t is n situation which
should be cleared up. In my estima.
| ton it has not been the intention OF
the people in the field nor in Alaska
to put them in hostility to the laws
but they have been in position where
they could not, by virtue of the cir
cumstances, accommodate themselves
to the laws, and with this last provis-
ion they could transmute their pres
ent entries into the form suggested by
this bill, and those new entries would
be tested as primary entries. In other
words, ii would be an abandonment
of the old conditions which have made
IA great deal Of difficulty in the matter
of the disposition of the land in many
instances"
When Mr.. Ballinger made this state
ment (before the Committee on Public
Lands) he was urging change in the
law by which fraudulent entries would
be made validity which the Cunning
ham group and the other Alaska
claims would have received patents
to practically 100000 acres of Alaska
coal fields. Whether or not we agree
that a fraudulent entry is technical
violation" of a statute there seems lit
tie doubt that Mr.. Ballinger was then
well Informed as to the defects in the
Alaska coal claims (Which included
the Cunningham group.)
Balllnger Becomes Attorney.
1t is with Mr.. Ballinger's testimony
before this Committee in mind that
we come to the next step. Within a
short time after he resigned, Mr.. Bal
linger became attorney for the Cum
ningham group Of claims.
There was at that time, and now is,
in force. statute Of the United States
which says:
1T shall not be lawful for any per-
son appointed after the first day Of
June, 1872, as an officer, clerk or en-
ployee in any Of the departments, to
act as counsel, attorney, or agent for
prosecuting any claim against the
United States which was pending in
either Of said departments while he
was such an officer. clerk, or employee
nor in any manner, nor by any means,
to aid in the prosecution of any such
claim, within two years after he
shall have ceased to be such officer,
clerk or employee"
This IS the only statute that know
of regarding the improprlety Of Gov
ernment officer taking claims against
the Government after his resignation.
The President Whitewashes Ballinger.
OF that employment, President Taft
has gaid: 'Tn THE interval. when you
we're not holding office, one Of the
coal claimants consulted
you IN regard 10 the prospect Of Sc
curing patent upon the claims. and
