WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The charge
by Horace Jones, a special agent of the
land office, that James NJ. Sheridan,
who was sent by the authorities at
Washington to take charge of the
hearings in the Cunningham coal
cases, practically threw the govern
ment's case away by giving counsel for
the claimants an opportunity to ex-
anime all evidence collected by special
agents working under Louis r. CLAWS,
furnished the sensation today at the
Ballinger Pinchot inquiry.
Jones made a bitter attack on the
competency of Mr.. Sheridan who re-
placed CLAWS in charge of the cases,
and declared that, although CLAWS was
no lawyer, he knew more law than did
Sheridan.
Asked why he failed to protest to
Washington regarding the alleged in
competent presentation of the case,
Jones replied scornfully that he might
have been deemed insubordinate.
The witness worked with CLAWS on
the Alaska cases and said he felt 1t
was a reflection on Mr.. Claws that
Sheridan should have been sent out to
relieve him.
Stubborn Witness
On direct examination Jones proved
a most effective witness. Under cross
examination he proved stubborn and
defiant, flinging curt answers at com
mitteemen and counsel alike.
Aside from Mr.. Jones, the interest OF
the day centered in a young man
named w. W. Barr, timber dealer,
brought from Seattle to testify for Mr.
CLAWS in refutation of the charge that
twenty-four missing letters from the
government files had been found in a
box belonging to CLAWS and stored IN
the government building in Seattle.
on cross-examination, Barr became
tangled. He said he had suggested to
CLAWS to telephone his successor at
Seattle to see if the latter had found
the papers that CLAWS had turned over
after his dismissal from the service.
Barr said he listened at an extension
telephone while Christensen, new chief
of division, replied that everything
was o. X. He said he did this TO pro-
teCt CLAWS.

RETURN FOR INFLUENCE.

Washington.-Under Washington
date the New York World Monday
printed sensational article in which
it stated that A. S. Connolly of Chey-
enne had filed charges with the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigating committee
against Senator Warren of Wyoming,
in regard to his alleged fencing of
public lands.
Connolly is also quoted as charging
that Warren had fenced large tracts
of government lands in Colorado, and,
in return for n promise that he would
secure United States mint and other
public buildings for Denver, the Colo
ment lands declared state school
lands, and leased them to the War
Ten Live Stock Company.
Senator Warren, Connolly charged,
deceived Secretary of War Taft and
various army officers and secured a
large army post at Fort Russell. and
and induced the government to build
expensive reservoirs for water. and
now cannot get water for the reser-
Toirs.
Connolly is further quoted as charg-
ing that Warren also deceived Presl-
dent Roosevelt and obtained his sup
port for Fort Russell and protection
in his land fencing, in return for
standing by him in the Brownsville
case.
Cheyenne.-Senator Warren Monday
night authorized the following inter
view relative TO the Connolly charges:
Neither Francis L, Warren nor
any company in which he is interested

made. and the conditions today are the

records OF st. Elizabeth's insane asy-
lum at Washington will disclose that
a. S. Connolly was an inmate OF that
asylum and has since been considered
unbalanced and his statement is un.
worthy of attention. All OF his allie
cations are untrue and may be consid.
