Secretary Ballinger in his annual re-
port just made public. recommends that
the Cunningham coal land claims be
sent to the District Court OF Appeals for
adjudication. He says:
"A class of entries, known as the Cum
ningham entries. made in 1907. has pro-
voked wide discussion and popular inter
est, largely because of their alleged value
and method of attempted acquisition.
I'm view of such conditions l deem it
of the highest Importance that all these
cases, involving thirty-three entries. or
$3.50 acres, of coal lands. be transferred
from the jurisdiction of the general land
office directly to the Court of Appeals of
the District of Columbia for considera-
ton and adjudication, without the neces-
sity of ruling as to the validity or in
validity of these entries by the commits
sioner of the general land office as is
now REQUIRED i'm such cases.

Disposing of Public Lands.

Heretofore, as will be seen, it has been
the policy Of Congress to dispose of the
public lands to those who were disposed
to make the best use Of them, none of
which were disposed Of with a view to Sc
curing revenue for governmental sup
port he says under the head of prob
lens Of Today" Even the coal lands
were sold at nominal figures, and until a
few years ago they were not entered
even at that figure, except where market
facilities made the land salable for their
product
Under more conservative theories the
question now is of saving the remnant Of
the public lands from monOpOlization or
'misuse without abandoning the old poll
cies of encouraging development. The
highest productive use of these lands is
The concern Of the people. The methods
of securing this use are ethe concern of
national and state governments"
AS to water powers he says:
Il earnestly advise the adoption of
some legislation which will in any event
retain the fee title to the lands in the
people and effectually vest the power Of
regulation and control in the state or in
the federal government, and which will
not result in limiting prompt and eco
nomical development or permit monopo-
Ezation or eXtortion.

Naval Observatory Needs.

Admiral Nicholson refers to certain
needed improvements ct the United States
Naval Observatory.
The grading of the Normanstone es-
tate he says, leaves a small triangle
of government property south Of and Dor
deripg on Massachusetts, avenue adjoin-
ing the observatory circle. The throw
Ing into the market of the Normanstone
property indicates the early cutting of
this part of the roadway around the OBJ
servatory circle. Following this will
necessarily come the grading of the OBJ
servatory circle bordering on the new
roadway. This is likely to involve con-
siderable expenditure. and also the re-
moval from its present site of the large
wooden stable which was built for the
use of the observers occupying the two
observers dwellings.
I'm the matter of the property lying
within the observatory circle not yet &C.
quired by the government, the piece be-
longing to the NOrmanstone property has
recently been the subject of negotiation
between the owners and the department.
OF the Home School property it is rec
commended that a special act be asked for
to secure the part lying within the cir
cle.'

Treatment of Coal Lands.

The Secretary directs attention TO the
recommendations contained in his report
for 1909 for coal land legislation and
quotes from an Official statement made
in 1907, wherein some of the difficulties
which would be encountered in the opera
ton OF leasing system are pointed out.
and again calls attention to the impor-
lance Of enactlns legislation which would
give the department an effective method
of disposition of coal lands, especially IN
Alaska. He points out that in Alaska 1T
is possible that leasing system could
be adapted to the country with efficiency
and with less complication than in the
states. In the states the administrative
policy is to secure by appraisement and
sale of the coal deposits what would &C
crue to the government If the deposits
were mined on a royalty basis. but this
is not possible under existing law in
Alaska, where the price is fixed at a fiat
acreage rate.
II am in favor Of a general leasing
system of oil and gas bearing lands the
Secretary continues: "such a system as
will promote legitimate development of
this industry. prevent mopopoly and con-
serve one of the great natural resources
of the country.

TARS ARE AMERICAN
Ninety-Five in Every Hundred
Native Born or NaturaIized.
fewer NAVY DESERTI0NS
Accounted For by More Comfort and
More Shore Leave.
NAVAL OBSERVATORY NEEDS
Approaching Time Of Grade Changes
Threatens Site of Institution
in Washington.

The popular impression that the Amer
lean Navy is manned in large part by
aliens will be quickly dissipated by ref
erence to the annual report Of Rear Ad-
miral Reginald F. Nicholson, chief OF
the naval bureau Of navigation.
OF the 3O,743 enlisted men. other than
petty officers, in the naval service, the
admiral shows, 91.51 are native born, 3.46
are naturalized, and Al have declared
their intentions of becoming citizens.
This shows that 94.97 per cent Of Uncle
Sans bluejackets are actually citizens Of
the United States.
The assertions are rapidly falling off
in numbers During the last fiscal year
there were but 2,S11, compared with 3,184
during the preceding year, potwithstand-
ing there were .se47 more men in the
service in the first case. The decrease of
discomforts on shipboard and the al
lowance of more shore leave and better
food are believed to account for this de-
crease. 1t Is declared that no class of
working men live so well as the enlisted
force of the navy.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-12-09
Swift and Severe Punishment.

Nevertheless, to reduce assertions to a
minimum, Admiral Nicholson says, pub
lie sentiment must be cultivated, and the
punishment must be made sure, swift and
severe. Great difficulty is experienced, the
admiral says, in keeping the complement
filed in the cases of machinists, mates,
bandSmen, cooks and stewards, due to
the great demand for such men in civil
life. particularly in the automobile in
dustry, where high wages are paid to
mechanics.
The superior training received aboard
ship by the naval machinsts and cleo
tricians has caused a great demand for
their services in civil employment and
made it difficult to secure the re-enlist-
ment of these men.
Because of the tendency of legislation
concerning the personnel of the Navy and
Marine Corps the report makes no special
recommendation regarding an increase of
the personnel. combining itself to an ear
nest invitation to Congress to note the
need Of additional officers to properly
man the fleet and perform the professional
duties required on shore, and to recon-
mendation that naval officers retiring for
physical disability Incurred in the serv-
ice be retired at an advanced grade.

Reduction of Pension Agencies.

The Secretary recommends that the
board Of pension appeals be abolished
from July 1, 1911. and its duties transfer
red to the Office Of the assistant attorney
general for the Interior Department. He
also recommends that Congress give
careful consideration to previous recon-
mendations that the number Of pension
agencies in the United States be decreased
Or abolished, with view to economy in
administration

Recommendations of Local Interes,

The Secretary also recommends that the
supervision Of the Capitol building and
grounds should be transferred to the
Treasury Department, under the supervis-
ing architects Office; that the returns
office should be. attached to the Treasury
Department: that the supervision Of the
Columbia Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb and of the Maryland School for the
Blind should be transferred to the Dis
trict of Columbia; that all supervisory
matters relating to the District of Column
bia be transferred to the Commissioners
Of the District, and that the supervisory
authority over the islands of Samoa and
Guam be transferred to the bureau of in
sular affairs.

she fled back down the willow avenue,
and burst out on the broad drive in

Kerr was not In sight, but there
was a tremor of disturbance where
all had been still. Clara's face ap.
peared at one of the upper windows
and looked down into the garden.
Then Mrs. Herrick came down the
stairs. and, showing an anxious pro-
file as she passed the door, hurried
away along the lower hall. There was

Harry. This struck her with unrea.

and Clara's small face at the window
watched her.
AS she came into the hall she heard
kerrs voice. He was at the tele.

heard in sentences whose meaning
was too much for her stunned senses
to take in; but none the less while
she listened the feeling crept over her
that there was some strange revo.

be transformation; 1t might be only
swift Increase of his original power.
Whatever 1t was, he seemed to her
superhuman. The house was full of

ringing orders. II he knew that the

But Flora stood inexorabic. straight
