Chief Schwartz dated September 23.

things:
while Cunningham is strenuous
in his affidavits that they are not a

SUPREME COURT
GRANTS BROKER
A new TRIAL
By Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-The
supreme court sustained today the
sections of the penal code abridging
the power of trial ceNrts to the ex-
tent of time in pronouncing SEN
tence for more than five days after
conviction. The decision was dem
dered in the case of Charles E..
Rankin, the broked convicted of
embezzlement last September with
date of sentence set tomorrow,
pending the hearing of the motion
for new trial. Ranking petit
toned the supreme court for a re-
straining order which directed that
the trial court was attacking the
jurisdiction of the court under the
sections named. The supreme court
refused the restraining order and
said if the judgment was pronounc-
ed against the defendant after the
statutory period had elapsed the
defendant was clearly entitled to a
new trial in the same court.

through the head of the depart
ment. Pinchot, in his letter vir-
tually upholds CLAWS, and describes
him as the most vigorous defender
of the peoples interests" despite
the fact that the president declared
CLAWS to be unfit to remain in the
public service. This direct slap at
the president and the further de-
claration by Pinchot that the Cum
ningham coal lands were really
about to go to fraudulent claimants
until CLAWS and the forestry bu-
reau officials took hand in the
fight, thus impugning the intentions
of the officials of the interior de-
partment is said to have aroused
Taft to a keen resentment.

Alaska coal fields which were still

er to be made public "Unless there
are secrets which the people of the

Pinchot said the rumor that the

was incorrect, and stated he sent

to assist in the arranging of ma

on appeal to the president, result

facts) in eliminating from the
government service in the person OF
CLAWS, a most vigorous defender

more, the refusal of the secretary

their conduct wholly in the hands
of subordinates, each of them ap-

Pinchot said the action of these

sistance of Messrs. Price and Shaw
of the bureau of forestry, was

ester in the communication not only
upheld the criticisms of Ballinger
but suggested the president him
self was mistaken in the facts when
he removed CLAWS from the public
service. Senator Hall was severely
rebuked by the chief forester for
having ignored the presidents re-
cent order directing that no subor-
dinate officer give information CON
cerning the affairs of the govern
ment except to superior officers.
Preceding this incident the Jones
joint resolution for the investiga-
tion of the interior department and
forestry bureau were referred to
pthe committee on public lands.
Newlands offered a resolution in
structing the public lands commit
thus putting into effect Ballingers
recommendation in his annual re-
port on the conservation of natural
resources. The Newlands resolu-
tion was also referred to the COM
mittee on public lands.
Pinchot's letter caused a genuine
sensation in the senate. In address
ing the letter to Senator Dolliver
Pinchot indicated it had not been
written at the request of the Iowa
senator but it was addressed to
him as chairman of the committee
on agriculture, making it an official
document. He said that Messrs
Price and Shaw had prepared an
| official report upon their actions
which he was transmitting to the
secretary of agriculture. The re-
