THE LAND OFFICE MAY NOT PASS
ON CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS-GO
TO COURT.
SECRE TARY STIRRED TO ACTION
1t Is Recommended by the Secretary
They Be Transferred to a Federal
Court-Madi Criticism May
Have Prompted the Suggestion.

Washington, Nov. 14.-It is sus-
pected here that the report of Rep
resentative Madison of Kansas on
the Ballinger case may have some
thing to do with the announcement
made tonight by Secretary Ballinger
that he would recommend to the
president that the famous Cunning
ham coal lands cases be transferred
from the jurisdiction of the general
land office direct to the court of ap-
peals of the District of Columbia.
The Cunningham claims are those
which l.. r. CLAWS protested were
being turned over to monopolistic in
terests with acquiesence of the Sec
retary of the interior, who had pre-
viously acted as counsel for the
claimants. In his report on the case
Representative Madison, who was a
member of the investigating commit
tee, said of the Cunningham claims:
81 have no hesitancy in expressing
my conviction that they are fraudu-
lent, and that the government will
prove them to be SO if earnest, dill
gent and able lawyers prosecute the
cases vigorously. l have read a large
portion of the evidence in the hear
ings before Commissioner McGee and
| am convinced that the govern
ment's case is not being properly
presented or vigorously prosecuted.
The cross-examination of Clarence
Cunningham was farce. 1t should
have been earnest and forceful."
Apparently Mr.. Ballinger was stir
red to action by this criticism. In
the excerpt from his annual report
which he made public tonight, he
says that while decision of the cases
by the officers of the land depart
ment would be as impartial as a court
decision, it would not have the eff
feet of putting at rest the vague and
distorted notions entertained by
many to the wholly disinterested mo-
tives of department officers on whom
the burden now rests for their dis
position"
The statement continues in part:

CANDIDATES
FOR DEMOCRACY
HARMON AND WILSON ACCORD
ING TO SENATOR MONEY ARE
1912 POSSIBILITIES.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Judson Har-
mon Of Ohio and Woodrow wilson
of New Jersey, in the order named
should be the democratic ticket in
the contest of 1912, in the opinion
of Senator Money of Mississippi, who
has been the titular leader of the
democratic minority of the senate
since Senator Culberson of Texas
was obliged by i'll health to give
up that post in the last session.
Senator Money was among the few
senators who reached Washington
today in anticipation of the coming
session. He has been in New York
in attendance on the meetings of
the monetary commission. He gave
it as his judgment that Governor
Harmon would be the most available
man for the head from the demo-
cratic national ticket two years
hence. because of his well-knoWn
conservative views of constitution
limitations and because of the over
whelming majority he had been Civ
en- in the last weeks election by the
people of the presidents own state.
AS to tariff revision. Senator Money
insisted that the democrats must
undertake it at the first session of
he next congress and push it through
without waiting for action by the
tariff boarj. The democrats had
been given a mandate by the people
of the country to relieve them of
some os the burdens imposed by the
schedules of the Payne-Aldrich bill,
and the party must obey that man.
date at the earliest possible mo-
ment. There should be no waiting on
the tariff board or commission. II
later il was thought wise to enlarge
the powers of the tariff board so
that it could do effective work, said
Senator Mooney, well and good.

1907 have provoked wide discussion
and popular interest, largely because
of their alleged value and method OF
attempted acquisition. Wholly un-
founded charges have been spread
broadcast, involving the attitude of
departmental officers toward these
cases.
I'm view of these conditions, l
deem it of the highest Importance
that all these cases, invloying thirty
three entries, or $3.50 acres of coal
lands. be transferred from the juris-
diction of the general land office di-
rect to the court of appeals of the
district of Columbia, for considera-
ton and adjudication, without the
necessity of a ruling as to the valid
ity of invalidity of said entries by
the commissioner of the general land
office as is now required in such
cases.
While the decision of these cases
by officers of the land department
would be as impartial as a decision
by a court of justice, it would not
have the effect of putting at rest the
vague and distorted notions enter
tanned as to the wholly disnterested
motives of department officers

TO GIVE CONCERT
TO CANCEL PARISH DEBT,
Interesting Program at the Della
Madonna Del Carmine.

Carlo Sodera, harpist, a graduate of
the st. Petro a MALTA Conservatory. of
Naples, Italy, late of the Manhattan
Opera House Orchestra, will head an
interesting program at the concert to
be given by the Church of the Della
Madonna Del Carmine in Arion Hall to-
morrow evening under the direction OF
the pastor, the Rev. Father Ernest
D'Aquila.
The proceeds from their concert will
go toward paying off the church debt,
which at present is $27,575. A church
debt society was formed last May with
a membership of 100. AT the present
time the membership is 1875, and it has
already paid off $4,000. $500 Of which was
donated by the pastor. AS soon as the
church debts are cleared 1t is proposed
to enlarge the church building, and
also to erect a school to take care of
the $500 children now attending classes
in the basement of the church.
The pastor Is optimistic over the
future, for in the last ten years the
debt has been reduced from s33, 900 to
$27,575, and another 81, 1000 will be paid
before July 16
Besides Carlo Sodera, the program
includes Professor Campione's military
band. and Frank Savasta, a tenor, who
will sing selections from Pagliacci.
There will be a chorus of fifty school
children and a female quartet from the
church choir.

suited with the road committee as to
means for providing a new pavement
ON Bloomfield avenu through that

with the paving, but must have the
consent of the county before the work
can be started. 1t was explained that
there is no possible fun that can be
drawn on this year for the payment
of the county's share of the cost OF
the paving.
A committee of three from the road
committee will be appointed to con-
fer with a like committee of Montclair
citizens to try and devise some plan
whereby at least part of the work can
be done this year instead of waiting
until next summer to start the job. 1t
is conceded by all concerned that a
pavement through the town of Mont
clair is a badly needed improvement.
