ence With Interior De-
partment Officials.

Hurrying back from Seattle, Secretary
Richard A. Ballinger. OF the Interior
Department. arrived in washington at
1875 this morning and proceeded at
once to his office TO give attention to
the Cunningham coal cases and the
charges made by Louis r. Claws to the
President with reference to the conduct
OF high officials Of the department in
regard TO these cases.
Secretary Ballinger had barely reached
his office when he went into conference
with Assistant Secretary Frank Pierce
and Assistant Attorney General Lawler
on the Cunningham coal land contro-
versy. More especially, he took up with
those gentlemen the reports which the
President has called for from Mr. Pierce.

in answer to the CLAWS charges.
Mr.. BaIhnger admitted he had come
here from Seattle largely for the pur-
pose Of considering the matters which
have arisen in the course OF the trou-
bIes over the Cunningham coal cases.
The controversy over these cases has
become prominent since the beginning
Of the Ballinger-Pinchot row. Mr.. Bal
llnger said that he had other important
matters awaiting his consideration. he
said further that. after q short time

Makes No Comment.
The Secretary OF the Interior had no
comment to make on the Cunningham
coal cases. the charges against Interior
Department officials or the Baninger-
he felt confident that everything would
turn out all right SO far as the Interior
Department was concerned.
Within a short time, probably in a
day or two. Mr.. Ballinger hopes to be
able TO give out a statement with re-
sDect to the Cunningham coal cases.
From now on. IL is expected there will
be quick and important developments
in this matter. and In the whole field
of contention between the Interior De-
partment and the Forest Service and
the Reclamation Service.
IL is believed generally here that
