conditions in Alaska.
Mr.. Brooks SAID the total area of
Alaska is $4,000 square miles. OF
coal bearing rocks there are known to
be about 10000 square miles. Only
about one-tenth of the coal areas is
known to be underlaid with coal seams.
About one-half of the entire coal area
is made up of Ignite, or very low
grade of coal About one-fifth of the
territory has not yet been surveyed
and the witness said there was every
reason to believe that in the northern
part of the territory are some of the
most extensive coal deposits. These
are not 4ncluded in the 10000 miles of
estimate
Mr.. Brooks declared that if the Alas
ka fields were opened it would mean a
saving to the United States navy or
.at least 100000 a year The expert
also said that the ChuSach forest re-
serve is only about one-fifth covered
with timber The timber in Alaska is
being rapidly used up for fuel purposes.
Don't glaciers make up most of the
forest reserves" asked Senator Nelson
amid laughter.
Yes" replied the witness.
Alaska is retrogress:ng," said Mr..
Brooks. People are becoming discour-
aged and are leaving. This is largely
due to the coal situation. Without
coal there can be no railroads, and
without railroads there can be no bus
mess to spec. Of"
Up to this time the witness de-
clared the visible coal supply in the
United States has been consumed to the
amount of four -tenths of l per cent,
leaving So 6-1O yet to be mined.
Mr.. Brooks was still on the stand
when the committee adjourned until

HOUSE is in FAVOR
OF TWO BATTLESHIPS

WASHINGTON, April By a de-
cisive vote of 1872 to 10, fourteen
being present and not voting, the house
late today authorized the construc-
ton of two battleships to cost $6,000,-
1000 each. Thirty-three democrats voted
for two battleships and % republicans
against the proposition.
This action was taken just prior to
the passage of the naval appropriation
bill, carrying s128,037,602. This
amount is about 100000 less than
was recommended by the navy depart
ment. In addition to the battleships,
the bill also provides for the construc-
ton of two fleet Golfers and four sub
marine boats.
The committee on naval affairs had
reported in favor of two battleships.
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman
of the appropriation committee offered
an amendment providing for only one
battleship, while Mr.. Hobson proposed
an amendment providing for three. BY
an almost unanimous vote the house

amendment for four battleships, but

the republican faith. In nv opinion
it is better to fight and fail-if fail
We Musician to win at the sacrifice
of those policies and principles, and
nave victory, like Dead Sea fruit turn

This is the substance of a letter

acknowledgement of the pleasure given
him by reading a report of Mrs. Rids-
dales current topics talk on Speaker

Representative j. Hampton Moore

the house to limit the draft of the new
battleships to 80 feet, but his amend
ment was rejected.
A point of order was sustained elm
mating from the bill authority for the
construction of a million dollar fleet
collier to be built on the Pacific coast

Investigation
Has Weary Day

WASHINGTON, April S.-The Bal
linger- Pinchot investigation dragged
weamsomely today with more testi-
mony about the alleged discovery of
"a missing letters among CLAWS effects
that had been left in the federal build
ing at Seattle.
The defense evidently is laying great
store by this discovery and the hear
ings for the past three or four ses-
sions have been given over almost
entirely to this subject. mass of
documentary evidence was put in while
Andrew Christianson, CLAWS success
sor as chief of field division at Seattle,
was on the stand.
Attorney Brandeis, of the "prosecu-
tom was admonished concerning his
method of cross examination by Sen
ator Sutherland.
Alfred H. Brooks, mineral expert of
the geological survey, took the stand
late in the day to testify regarding the
value and extent of the coal resources
in Alaska. 1t was evident from his
statement of the case that the value
of the coal fields had generally been
overestimated. Mr.. Brooks said the
coal in the Katalla field, where the
Cunningham claims are located is pro-
badly not worth more than half cent
a ton.
When he had concluded with the
correspondence Mr.. Christensen told Of
the search among CLAWS effects in the
federal building in Seattle. His ac-
count conceded with that of Assistant
Custodian O'Neill.N
The witness then was turned over
to Brandeis for cross examination

February about the finding of the
letters you made certain false state
ments didn't your" asked Brandeis.

this, saying it was not only offensive
to the witness but to the committee
as well.

KNOWLEDGE WITHHELD
is THE ALLEGATION

PITTSBURG, April S.-A true bill
charging Max G. Leslie, collector of
delinquent taxes in Allegheny county,
with bribery, was returned by the
grand jury today.
At the same time, a sweeping pre-
sentiment was handed down with gen.
eral charges that many of the 125
witnesses which the grand jury has
before it in the graft investigation
thus far have wilfully Withhe knoWl-
edge of the graft secrets, and that a
certain few have practically been gull
ty of perjury. Directors and officials
of some of the six big banks that pro-
flied by the corrupt depository ordi-
nance are severely scored
The indictment Of Leslie follows
his recent acquittal on charge of
perjury in claiming an alibi in con-
nection with a previous indictment for
alleged bribery. He is now charged
with receiving $4,000 from the Co
lumbia National bank of Pittsburg on
June 8, 1908. In the former indict-
ment the date was nam.@ as June 6,
and Leslie proved that he was out
of the city at that time.
1t is charged that of the $4,000 be
paid over s17,500 to William P-and to
bride councilmen.

Denounce Malefactors

1--WE here desire emphaticaIly to de-
nounce as public malefactors not only
the men who solicited the brides, who
held up the banks and the influential
men of the city of Pittsburg, but also
to denounce for their past in our
city's shame, the bank president or the
millionaire who attempts and who
caused the downfall of the poor coun-
cilmen who is paid no salary for the
duties he is called upon to perform
for the benefit of the public"
The conclusion of the presentment
disc!oses that the bank ordinance and
the ordinance for vacating South
Seventh street We're not the only pieces
Of corrupt councilmanic legislation
The jurors openly state that $11,500
in bride money was paid for the vacat-
ing of Home street, but no indictments
could be returned because the stat
ute of limitations applies.
In the section Of the presentment
that deals with this, il is declared that
Sam HeppenstalI and C. w. Heppen-
stall, two prominent men of this city
each paid bride to Charles Stewart
the former paying $4,000 and the
sI'er $151G

Review is Needed

The indictment season reached such
the grand jurors themselves thought
it necessary to present comprehen-
sive review of all their work
It was declared most emphatically
that former Councilman Charles Stew
art and Cashier James NJ. Young of
the Second National bank have con-
cealed information from the inquis-
itors.
I'VE have been unable to ascertain
who paid Stewart this bride money
(meaning $4,000 charged as furnish
ed by the Friend Hoffstot pool of
banks) in New York." the jurors re-
ported.
Although Stewart met this man at
least upon two or three occasions,
a though he knew his name and had
several drinks with him, he neverthe-
less swears that he does not remem-
Der his name"
The grand jury also recommends
a new investigation of the directors
Of the Second National bank, and in
specific terms charged that Cashier
Young is shielding F. n. Hoffstot, and
that there is reason to believe that
some one else connected with the Sec
ond National bank is responsible for
this.
