MAY REQUIRE JAPAN
TO EXPLAIN ACTION
England Not Convinced About Po-
sition of Mikado'S Realm in
Austrian Affair.

LONDON, May 24.-Despite official de-
mails. there is the highest authority for
the statement that tae English foreign
office is pressing japan for a statement
concerning the reported Japanese-Aus-
trian secret agreement to stand together
in the event of any adverse move by
Russia.
It is understood that Japan has al
ready unofhcially denied any such COM
pact but England IS far from convinced
OF the sincerity OF JaDan's position. Her
doubt, in fact, is sucn that even an Of
fetal denial from Japan will not COM
pleteIy reassure England
InaSmuCh as England is friendly 10
Russia and unfriendly to Austria. the
ruJncred action of Japan, England S
ally, is considered Of the gravest mo-
ment.

Following the above statements
Mr.. CLAWS proceeds to detail many
other very interesting and sensational
movements and offers great amount
of evidence to back up his charges
that the interests of the people have
been betrayed. The now famous
Cunningham claims case is reviewed
at length and the alleged friendship
and partiality on the part of Mr..
Ballinger for and to these claims are
given much attention. The writer
declares that Mr. Ballinger unlaw-
fully became attorney for the Gun
ningham group of claims after hay-
ing resigned as Commissioner of rhe
General Land Office.
Mr.. Claws then takes up President
Tafts letter defending Mr.. Ballinger
and denouncing Mr.. CLAWS and com
ments upon its various statements,
and defends himself against the
Presidents attacks, showing where
he tGlavis) was justified in his ac-
tions. In a most interesting and
startling manner he deals with the
decision of Frank Pierce, First Assist
ant Secretary of the Interior Depart
ment, which decision was favorable
to the alleged fraudulent Cunning
ham claims. He then shows how
Attorney Wickersham over
ruled Ballinger and Pierce. He de-
clares that Ballinger objected to the
investigations of the actions of a
certain Congressman who, it is al
legged, had participated in the Alaska
coal cases. The writer also charges
and presents evidence showing that
Secretary Ballinger pushed the trial
of the Cunningham cases before the
Government was ready with its evil
dence. This Is one of the most SEN
sational portions of the article.
| In closing Mr.. CLAWS points out
that the Alaskan coal lands are in
| great danger in Ballinger's hands.

Good sized crowds are coming out
every night to witness the perform

The large, cool hall is an inviting

Last night the company gave their
first production of "A Southern Cen

The appearance of a real, live baby

the occasion of much interest. The
plot is thrilling and is relieved at in
tervals with light comedy. The same
play will be reproduced tonight.
Following the play last night, an in
formal dance was given by the man

ing invited to remain. The floor was
speedily cleared, and the Norvel or

total consumption of pulp wood In
1908 was nearly 16 per cent less than
in 1897, but this did not prevent a
considerable increase in the price OF
wood. The high price of wood is max
ing the manufacturers be constantly
on the lookout for cheaper raw mater.
ial, and one of the most encouraging
developments has been the increased
use of slab wood and other sawmil1
waste. The drift in the industry is
clearly indicated by the fact that 1884,
.234 cords of mill waste were reported
as consumed in pulp manufacture dur
ing 1907, while 252,S9 cords an in
crease of thirty per cent were used in
1908
These statements are based upon a
preliminary report of the consumption
of pulp wood in the United States in
1908 just issued by the Bureau OF the
Census. The Bureau of the Census
and the Forest Service cooperate in
the collection Of annual statistics OF
forest products, and this preliminary
report will soon be followed by a bull

year in the various states, the cost
per cord, the amount reduced by the
sulphite, and soda pro-
cesses and other facts Of interest to
the industry.

expected to pass through Farmer,

Report From Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo-, June 5.-Forlow-
ing the opening of It's Belen cutoff
last March, the Santa Fe has let the
contract for new line that will close
still more important gap between
Coleman, Texas and Texico, N M
The work was awarded to the G. H
Sharp Construction Company of Kan
sas City, which also did the Belen
work, and will cost about $4,000, 900.
When completed this latest cut-off
will give the Ripley road a direct line
from Galveston on the Gulf to San
Francisco on the Pacific, virtually a
new trans-continental route.
THE entire length of the new line
will be very heavy work" said Wright
Smith, secretary of the Sharp Com
pany today "and we will begin at
once"
Starting from Coleman. Texas the
northern terminus Of the Santa Fe's
Galveston line, the cutoff will prob
ably traverse the Texas counties OF
Coleman, Runnels, Taylor, Nolan,
Fisher, Scurry, Borden, Cara, Lub-
book, Hockey, Lamb and Bailey, as
far as Texico on the boundary line
of New Mexico. The air line from
Coleman to Texico is about 27O miles
and as the new SURVEY does not
swerve widely from a straight line. its
length will approximate 300 miles.
II will cross the Orient and the
Texas and Pacific roads at Sweet
water and Will connect with the North
ern branch of the Santa Fe. which
passes through the Panhandle. This
line branches south from the main
line at Canyon City, Texas and is al
read built as far as Plainview. 1t will
later be extended as far as Lubbock
