COMMITTEE ROOM
DENSELY PACKED
Representative of the Morgan
Guggenheim Syndicate Tells
of Interests in Alaska.

Washington, Feb 18.-The interesting
spectacle Of the organ-Guggenheim syn
dictate, through legal representatives, ap-
pearing before congressional committee
to justify its operations in the develop
ment of industries in Alaska today
packed the room Of the Senate commit
tee on territories. 1t was denied that
the syndicate had a monopoly of any
industrial interest.
The proceedings were unique Some days
ago Senator BeveTidge received a letter
from J. p. Morgan s. Co. asking per
mission 10 send representatives to answer
exaggerated reports printed in the mag
azlneS and newspapers of the work OF
the syndicate formed by that company
and the Messrs. Guggenheim"
The permission was given, and today
John \. Steele, general counsel for the
syndicate. and Stephen Birch, managing
director, appeared.
Mr.. Birch was put on the stand and
his story drawn out by Mr.. Steele. 1t
resulted in testimony that all the money
spent in the enormous DEVELOPMENT of
Alaskan resources had been furnished by
the syndicate itself; that the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate had not issued to
the public d single bond or a share of
stock; that the syndicate had never re-
ceived anything from the government in
the way Of money grants of land or spe-
cial rights.
1t was testified further that the syn
dictate owned one railroad and had no
interest in any other in Alaska; that it
owned one copper mine and had no in
terest in any other, and owned no coal
lands at all.
Testimony was given about the nego-
tiations for the Cunningham claims. but
it was said these hinged upon patents
being issued for the claims, and these
negotiations had come to nothing.
