MAN THOUGHT TO BE SPEAKER
GETS AN OVATION.

The storm that has swirled around
Sneaker Cannon at the Capitol for the
last four or five days. swept down Penn

its force at the Center market. For a
time all business was suspended In the

impromptu demonstration of the fact that

that Uncle Joe had just hopped out OF
his automobile and was then engaged in
the pacific pursuit of early vegetables.
Stallkeepers and customers, icehandlers,
truckmen, cold storage employes-in fact,
everybody who could spare a moment or
two-quit their tasks and jammed and
wedged themselves into the main aisle.
There he is said somebody, and,
sure enough in the center of the market
stood the characteristic figure with the
pink skin, soft SLOUGH hat and halo
whislsers. testing a porterhouse steak
with rigid index finger.
The old gentleman finally disentangled
himself from the crowd and jumped into
his automobile.

Claimants Talked Freely.

While taking up the various ques
lions incorporated into the afidavits
Attorney Gray tried hard to make the
witness say that as far as he knew the
claimants had acted throughout their
dealings with him with perfect frankness
and had not endeavored to conceal a
single material fact. CLAWS answered
that he did not have any way OF ascer-
tanning how many facts they had con,
ceaIed from him. AS far as he could
see they were at least telling him a
great deal about their claims and an
peared' to be extremely frank in then
statements.
The lawyer attempted to wrest from
the witness the statement that he had
gone to Wallace, Idaho, in March. 1908.
to prove conclusively that the Gus-
genhefmS were attempting to get nos

there to investigate the claims and that
he had heard but little about the Gus.

He declared that Mr.. Cunningham told
him he had spent much money in prrsu-
ing the claims and he and his associates
did not need the Guggenheims to help
them finance railroad in order to get
their coal from the claims to the coast
Then Mr.. CLAWS halted for moment as
had taken Mr.. Cunningham's journal and
ledger and had them copied for the gov
eminent record. Il want to explain here, y
said the witness, that i took the books
after Mr.. Cunningham had agreed and
not as he has claimed that I have DELHI

Witness Closely Questioned.
The affidavit of Orville D. Jones OF
Wallace was gone into deeply. and the
witness was asked by Attorney Pugh for
the government as to many of the de-
tails incident to the visit Of Messrs
CLAWS and Horace I. Jones to the store
Of the affiant in Wallace. At this time
| the affiant told them that he was OF the
opinion that as soon as the patents were
given by the government that COM
pany would be formed TO build a rail-
road 1t was also elected from Mr.
| CLAWS that it was current gossip almost
everywhere he went that the Guggen-
| helms were deeply interested in the
| Alaskan coal lande and would control the
| field after time.
A recess was taken at 1870 o'clock. and
the hearing was not resumed until short
iy before o'clock, with Mr.. CLAWS still
on the stand. The various afiidavits were
again delved into by Attorney Gray.
