wv ASHINGTON, Jan 6-The
NJ BaIlinger-Pinchot controversy
today was made doubly m
tense by the reading in the senate OF
a letter addressed by Pinchot to SEN
ator Dolliver.s in which the course
adopted by L. R Claws, with the as
sistance OF Price and Shaw OF the
bureau OF forestry was warmly ap-
proved
In thus communication the chief
forester not only upheld the criticisms
Of Secretary Ballinser, but suggested.
that the president himself had been
mistaken in the facts when he re-
moved CLAWS from the public service.
Rebuke by Hale
Pinchot's letter called Senator Hale
to his feet with a severe rebuke to the
chief forester for having ignored
recent order by the president direct
ing that no subordinate officer should
give information concerning affairs OF
the government except, to his superior
officers. He also suggested that the
adoption OF this course tended to fore
stall and prejudice public opinion in
relation 70 the Ballinger- -Pinchot
controversy.
Referred to Committee
Preceding this incident Senator
Jones joint resolution for an investi-
CATION OF the interior department and
the forestry bureau was referred to
the committe on public lands, but the
reference was not made until after
much discussion of a resolution by
Senator Newlands instructinz the
committee on public lands to report
within two weeks bills putting into
effect Secretary Ballinger's reeom-.
mendations in his annual report on
the conservation OF natural resources.
The NewIands resolution also was

Statement of McKinIay


Congressman McKinlay's attention
was called to the article today. He
said in reply:
AN agent of McClure's magazine
came to me some months ago and
asked me about the report that Gov
-ernor Ginett and Congressman Nc
Iachlin We're interested in Alaska coal
claims. He seemed to think there was
something improper about it. L re-
piled that if they were guilty of any
thing wrong, l was too. as owned a
claim up there. The facts are these
"A year or so ago my attention was
called to the possibility of making
some money by investing in coal lands
in Alaska. 1 was told that could get
claim belonging to a Mr.. Goodwin of
Los. Angeles.
Money Paid for Claim
Before purchasing it / inquired all
about the matter at the general land
Office and at the geological survey. 1
found that l had as much moral and
legal right to buy this claim as / had
TO buy any other property. / paid Mr..
Goodwin $4,000 for the claim, and
since then ] have paid $3.50 for my
share of the development work
Congressman Kincaid of Nebraska.
Governor Gillett and IA other persons
own claims contiguous TO mine Nc
Lachlan's claim is in another group
near by. Our claims are eight or ten
miles from the Cunningham group.
did not vote for the law permitting
the consolidation of claims. We con-
solidated our 16 claims and organized
company for working them. and
own a sixteenth of the stock in the
company.
Must Pay for Title
Before we can get the title to the
lands we must pay $40 an acre to the
government additional. 1t is a ques-
tion yet whether we will make any
money out of our venture.
4 will sell my interest for what 1
have put in and 6 per cent interest to
date. If there is any shadow. of fraud
in what have done l will resign from
congress"
McKinlay said McLachlans case was
similar TO his own.

Thirty Members Elected
The nominating committee. composed
of r. W. Dohrmann William J Dutton
and Leon sloss. reported the names Of
30 nominees for membership on the
directing committee and the report was
adopted and the committee elected by
an enthusiastic and unanimous vote.
Ia presenting the report Of the nom-
mating committee. Chairman Dohr-
mann declared that the task Of making
the selection had been both an easy
and a dimeult one. It was easy. he
said. because OF the amount OF material
At hand. and difficult because of the
necessity Of making limited selection
of names.
Chosen for Active Help
we have chosen this committee"
said Dohrmsnn. with the idea IN mind
that no member OF the ways and means
committee would seek position upon
Fl and that no member would refuse to
accept q position when asked to serve.
we have omitted the precaution Of
asking any one II the position would
be acceptable, because we feel that
every member of this ways and means
committee is bound to do everything in
his power to make the exposition a
great success. our one object has been
70 choose men who viii devote their
energies 10 this exposition without
stint and nifh whom the rest of US
viii fell IN line.
