finally had concluded their direct anC
cross-examination of the witness he was
turned over to Mr. Vertrees.
Mr.. Birch said the Alaska syndicate had
! spent 81, 900 900 in an Intellectual attempt tc
construct a harbor at Katslla. This was ir
1906 and 1907, before there was an optior
on the Cunningham claims.
1--WE wanted to be near the coal fields
he said, 'for we thought that some day
somebody would get patents and open the
fields. so we could buy the coal"
Mr. Birch said 1t was in January or
February, 1905. that Cunningham claimed
the option agreement had been made void
by the action of the Guggenheims in
changing their railroad base from KatalIa
to Cordova.
did not he state further that 1t had also
been voided by the fact that few IL any
of his principals had ratified the agree
ment?" asked Mr.. Vertrees.
HE did"
The Option Agreement.
"And from that day to this has any mem
ber Of your syndicate, by writing or other
wise, indicated to Cunningham that they
still considered the option agreement in
effect?"
NO SIR"
Mr. Birch said he went to see Mr.. Gar
field when he was secretary Of the in
terror, asking II some practical legislation
could not be secured for Alaska.
But / didn't get much satisfaction"
added the witness. Subsequently how
ever, a law was passed in 1905 told Her
bert Parsons "a member OF congress from
New York; that / thought this law was
rotten and unconstitutional. thought the
bill robbed man Of his inherent rights,
Mr. Parsons asked me to write him let
ter and to enclose copies for Mr.. Garfield
and for Mr.. Roosevelt"
The witness produced the letter and it
was read in evidence The objections 10
the bill were largely technical In charac-
ter and set out in great detail
In effect the letter protested that the
new law would not encourage development
Of Alaska as it had been designed.
When Mr.. Vertrees concluded his brief
cross-examination, Attorney Brandeis re-
turned once more to the attack and
demanded to know II the Guggenheims had
tried to control all of the wharfage at
Cordova He asked particularly II Jack
Dalton Of Dalton trail fame had not tried
to erect a wharf near the company's prop
erty and been thrown in jail as conse-
quence.
Jack put up hut and drove a few piles
in front of our property" said the wit
ness but 1t was purely graft scheme.
Some of his friends came to us and wanted
to know IL we did not want to buy Jack

This ended the testimony OF Mr.. Birch
and the committee adjourned until tomor-

Omaha daily bee., 1910-03-26

to formulate those charges and to defer
until a later period Of the inquiry our sug-
gestions as to what conclusions should be
drawn from the facts.
when this inquiry first began Mr.. Bal
lirger sent letter here in which he ex-
pressed the desire to leave the committee
untrammeled. He did not even desire to
have counsel, lest 1t should hamper the
committee in its search for the facts.
ut is perfectly clear that we should not
be brought to a stop in our inquiry without
being able to lay before the committee
those facts which Mr.. Ballinger alone is
aware Of and can best enlighten the COM
mittee. I know Of no proceeding in which
we would be denied this opportunity.
I'VE certainly ought not to be denied Il
in what the chairman has characterized
this, as a free, full and open inquiry ana
not limited by the ordinary rules Of evI-
dCnce."
Madison Asks Question.
Representative Madison asked Mr. Bran
deis If he regarded him as a witness to
facts and the attorney declared he did.
"And you intend to examine him on all
points that you consider material7" in
quired Representative Mccall.
"Yes, sir"
I'm other words, what you mean is that
you desire your cross-examination Of the
witness to precede the direct examination ?"
suggested Senator Sutherland.
II wouldn't put it just that way" re-
piled Mr.. Brandeis. "ATr. Ballinger has
already had full opportunity to make his
statement. He has had the advantage of
being able to confer with the president
and has made two statements to the presi-
dent"
Doesn't that apply to all the witnesses
in this proceeding7" asked Representative
Denby.
NO My client, Mr.. CLAWS, has not had
an equal opportunity"
Mr. Brandels admitted that he desired
to have the right to examine Mr.. Ballinger
in his own way. Representative Olmstead
said he thought Mr.. Ballinger should have
the opportunity first to make his state
ment to the court in his own way Mr.
Brandeis was directed to proceed with his
other witnesses, the Ballinger matter being
deferred for the time being.
