CLAWS Describes Wilson Cases.
CLAWS began his testimony by tell.
ing about the Wilson coal cases. He
said Ballinger was attorney for the
company, that he drew up the escrow
agreement, an alleged illegal act, which
he said amounted to a conspiracy in q
fraudulent claim against the govern
ment.
CLAWS next turned TO the Alaskan
coal fields and described in detail the
location and extent Of the Cunningham
claims. He said he came to Washing
ton and argued with the land office as
to the danger OF scandal In the Alaska
cases. He then was directed to pro-
coed with full Investigation. He said
that Boon after he left Washington.

interior, as he (Ballinger) had had to
do with the claims.

DEATH WAS not
DUE To POISON
Death of Carroll Mccormick of
Aledo Mystery After Stom-
ach Is Examined.
CORONER RECALLS JURY
Supposed That Young Man Took Car
bile Acid-Said So in Ante
norton Statement.

Aledo, Ill, Jan. 81 Especially -
Because of the absence from the city
of one of the members of the coro-
ner's jury that inquired into the
death OF Carroll e. Mccormick a re-
opening Of the inquest, which was to
have taken place yesterday, has been
postponed for a week. 1t is prob
able that when the jury reassembles
the former verdict that death was
caused by carbolic acid taken with
suicidal intent while the victim was
in full possession of his mental pow
ers will be altered.
The report of the Chicago chemist
who examined the contents of the
stomach shows that there was no poi
son taken. though there was evidence
of Inflammation in that organ, not,
however. sufficient to cause death.
Mr.. Mccormick, who was young
farmer. was found in q dying cohdi-
ton at his home on the outskirts of
this city New Years morning. He
had been alone in the house, his
bridS of a few weeks being away on
visit.
Said He Took Acid.
He was still conscious and in re-
ply to questions said he had taken
carbolic acid. He died in a few hours
and the ooroner's jury went no fur
Their than to take the testimony of
those who had heard the final state
ment of the dead man.
Before the remains were buried 1t
was noticed that there were no evil
dences of acid burns about the moutI
and a postmortem examination was
held. The stomach was sent away
for analysis. which now shows that
no poison was taken. The cause OF
death now remains a mystery.

In view Of the extent to which the

VIII AFFECT Millions.
Frank H. Scott. president of the Cen

the rates on second class matter would
affect not only the publishers, who
themselves. he said, were by no means
wealthy. but also the printers, paper
manufacturers, advertisers, authors,
artists and many millions of readers
of magazines.
With these people the publishers
would be compelled to adjust the in
creased burden laid upon them, he de-
clared. It would result in greatly in
creasing the prices OF magazines to
subscribers, said Mr.. Scott.
Says There is Surplus.
Some of the publishers gave verbal
testimony. but the answer which at
tracted principal attention was a
pamphlet which was circulated entitled
The Answer of the Magazines" Ac-
cording to this statement there Is not
deficit in the postoffice department
of $4,000, 900, as the department al
