$500,00O,0OO IS The Value
BIRCH MADE GOOD WITNESS FOR
THE DEFENSE At sATUR-
DAYS HEARING.
Gugeenheim Morgan Interests Hold
But Small Part of Cease-Cunning-
ham Mines Would Be Worth Many
Millions to the Promoters is the
Testimony.
3: Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 19.-For a few
hours today the senate committee or
territories furnished an attraction In
the way of the developments rela-
tive to Alaska coal lands which fair
ly entitled it to rival in interest the
Ballinger- Pinchot investigation.
Manager Stephen Birch Of the Tex
as-Guggenheim- -Morgan-Alaska syn
dicate, was the witness and for a
short time he reeled off figures con-
cerning the value of the coal in the
Cunningham and other Alaska coal
and copper mines that were quite CAL
culated to cause the heads of the
members Of the committee to swim.
Placing the tonnage IN the Cunning
ham mines at 5O,OO0,000, he said that
the coal could probably be taken out
SO as to net profit Of SIS, 100000.
!. This statement taken In connection
with the fact. that the syndicate had
agreed to pay only $250.000 for half
70; the property aroused much inter-
est.
Mr.. Birch placed the probable out
put Of the entire Behring river coal
district of which the Cunningham
group is a part, at 500 900 900 tons,
with net eMIue of 500 900 900 and a
gross value of. $500, 100000.
But there was another portion Of
Birch's testimony which attracted
even more attention. 1t had refer
ence to his efforts to extend the hold
ings of the Alaska coal and copper
company in the Bonanza group of
copper mines, before it was acquir-
ed by the Guggenheim- Morgan syn
dicate
Mr.. Birch said that some of the
land now embraced in that group
had been located by himself through
name of other stockholders of the
company.
"Did the company furnish the
money to pay for the claims?" ask
ed Mr.. Frazier.
Mr.. Birch responded that it had
done so and mentioned some of the
stockholders whose names had been
so used.
"They were mere dummies were
they not?" asked the Tennessee SEN
ator.
"No indeed,' responded the wit
ness. "They were Interested in the
property. / located a claim myself
He said there was no understand
ing that the claims should be turned
over to the company.
<'The land was desirable and the
law was complied with in all our pro-
ceedings," he said.
Testify1ng concerning the Guggen'
heim-Morgan options on the Gun
ningham mines, Mr.. Birch said that
it covered only small interest, the
Cunningham people retaining the
major portion.

reported that five year old Russian
child in the Tepee Butte neighbor-
hood has been missing for seven
days and is supposed to have been
frozen to death on the prairie. Mr..
Hunter was unable to find out the
name of the missing child but some
of the members of searching party
told him that the parents were Rus
slams living about Is miles south.
east of New England.
According to the report the little
boy had been in the habit of visit
ing at the home Of relatives, who
lived in the same section, and had on
Wednesday of last week asked per-
of his parents to go owe"
for another visit. The parents refus-
ed the request and thought nothing
more about it. Later the child was
missed by the parents, but nothing
serious was thought Of the matter as
they felt their little son was safe
with the relatives and so no search
was made that day.
The next morning it was discov-
cred that the boy had not reached
the relatives home and Immediately
a searching party was organized. 1t
will be remembered that Wednesday
of last week was very foggy, which
is no doubt the reason for the
child's getting lost. The searchers

was declared against the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit company by the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees at 1
o'clock this afternoon and tonight
the police and firemen were busy
handling turbulent crowds in several
sections of the city. Two cars were
burned, a score of cars were attack
ed, forcing their crews to abandon
them, and numerous arrests were
made. Except in the central part of
the city street car service was al
most at a standstill tonight. Cars
running through central sections

boys and strike sympathizers, COM
pelling the crews to abandon them.
The cars were wrecked and both
were then set on flre.
Great crowds collected and for a
time 1t was feared a riot would fol-

strike of last summer and which ex-
pires on June /. The men in the pro-
posed agreement asked for an in
crease in wages and among other
things wanted to bind the company
to not recognize any other union but
the Amalgamated association. The
union leaders charged that rival
ORGANIZATION known as the United
Garments association had been put in
the field tn defeat their efforts. The
company declined to recognize the
association exclusively.
The break in the NEGOTIATIONS came
on Thursday and last night. and to-
day about 200 men were dismissed
for ''The good of the service" This
aroused INDIGNATION of men and they
began turning in their cars about 1
D o'clock.
The news of the desertions quick
" reached union headquarters with
The result that a strike was issued.
