Congressional Investigation
of Alleged Fraud Is
Anticipated.
CUNNINGHAM GROUP
is BEING PROBED
Land Office Agents Have Been
at Work on Case
Months.
By 7. c. WELLIvER.

4 new turn has been taken i'm the
matter OF the Alaska coal lands, by
reason of reports which have been re-
ceived at the General Land Office, rec
ummendiuE tho rejection Of four Inn
pOTtant groups Of claims.
The famous Cunningham group. said
20 represent one Of the richest areas
Of anthracite coal I'm the world, has
been under investigation at a big hear
ing at Seattle. for a long time. It is
generally. expected that these claims
will finally be Cancelled.
Now comes the news that the Smith,
Chezum, Hartman, and Feed groups Of
coal claims. all I'm Alaska and ali uu-
derstood to be immensely valuable, have
been investigated In detail by special
agents, and that the reports have come
TO Washington, recommending that all
OF them be rejected
Contrary to Law.
The reason given is the same I'm all
cases: that there is reason TO believe
these claims were taken with a view
TO consolidating them I'm the control Of
q single big interest, contrary 10 the
law.
Under the present statutes. a coal
claim may not exceed 100 acres, and no
body may take one except for good
faith operation In his own behalf. If,
after taking and proving up and settins
patent. he shall decide TO consolidate
with q claim that somebody else has
secured in good faith and without
thought Of a consolidation, there is
DO law against il.
The point is that they must think
about consolidating after they get their
patents. under no circumstances must
there be any understanding about con-
solidation In advance or the patentng
OF the lands.

SIX ARE ARRESTED
IN POMONA RAIDS
Jules Hughes VIII Face Two Charges,
One of Threatening the Life
of Special officer
Chitwood

POMONA, Dec 24.-Six are in Jail as
the result of blind pig raids conducted
by Mayor Frank T. frey, former Dis
trict Attorney Fleming of Los Angeles
and Special officer Chitwood. 1t was
due to the work of Chitwood during
the past few days that the raids were
made, as he secured the evidence.
Jules Hughes will have two charges
to answer for, as aside from that of
illegal liquor selling he will face a
charge of threatening the life of the
special officer. Chitwood alleges that
when Hughes learned that damaging
evidence had been secured he said to
the officer:
"Ill get you yet; we'll die together"
His bail on the liquor charge was
placed at $1,000 and on the other at
$4,000. The evidence is to the effect
that the liquor at this place was sold
by a boy, who was also arrested and
held in bail of $500.
John Turner's place was next visited,
and the proprietor, together with
Richard Bliss, John McGrath and o.
II. Stillman, arrested on gambling
charges.
Mr.. Fleming has agreed to assist in
the prosecution of the cases.

TOP OF THE WORLD
AT MAJESTIC TODAY
Bailey and Austin Return to Los An
geles in Vehicle Which Was
Highly Successful in
East

Bailey and Austin, who have not
visited Los Angeles since their vaude-
vile days, will open their engagement
at the Majestic theater this afternoon
in "The Top of the World" a fantas-
tic musical comedy, the scenes Of which
are laid in Christmas land, here dis
covered to be located at the north pole.
The piece has never been seen on the
coast but comes here from prolonged
and very successful runs In New York
city and in Chicago. Seemingly, Man
ager Morosco could have secured no
attraction better suited to the holiday
season.
A popular feature of the production
is the famous Collie Ballet" n terp-
sichorean advertisement performed
by six little girls and six big collie
dogs. There are twenty-four musical
numbers in the piece and according
to newspaper critics in other cities the
company is one of the very strongest
singing organizations on tour this sea-
son.
Owing to the sad death Of his wife,
known professionally as Phosa Nc
Allster and who was formerly a prom
inent member of the Burbank stock
company, II. S. Duffield will be out
of the cast of THE Girl Of the Col

da," in addition to her new play, The
Writing on the Walr' and "Sapho."
The other day Nethersole announced,
however, that in addition to new
work by an American playwright next
season she will probably make a re-
vivaI of 1.-The School for Scandal" and
perhaps will make one Shakespearean
revival. Maurice Rostand. son of the
poet who wrote "Cyrano de Bergerac'
and "L'Aiglon," has made transla-
tion of his fathers la Samarataine
for Nethersoles use in America, and
it is likely she will give matinee per-
formances of this piece, which was
first produced in Paris by Madam
Bernhardt The Writing en- the Walr'
will open Miss Nethersole's local en-
gagement Monday at the Mason.
