ADMITS MAKING
FALSE REPORT
Cunningham Forced to Admit
Another Crooked Deal in
Coal Lands

Cleveland. Ohio. March 15.-For the
second time during the inquiry into
the Alaska coal claims, which has
been conducted here, Clarence Cum
ningham, by whose name the claims
are known, was forced by the federal
attorneys to admit that he had made
incorrect statements in documents
which he had signed.
The first occasion occurred earlier
in the hearing when Mr.. Cunningham
admitted that an affidavit which he
had sworn to In regard to the interest
Of the Guggenheims in the claims was
incorrect. At that time he claimed
that the affidavit had been drawn up
by Louis r. CLAWS and that he had
taken the word of the former govern
ment land agent for the statements
contained in it.
This morning at the final session
OF the hearing he was shown a copy
OF letter written by him to the Unit
ed States land agent at Juneau, Alas
ka, asking for maps of the district in
which the coal claims lay and which
were required before patents would
be issued. In the letter Mr.. Cunning
ham stated that he had seen the land
commissioner for the district and that
everything in connection with the
claims was in order and correct Un-
der cross-examination he admitted
that this was not an exact statement
of the facts and at that time he did
not know the exact status of the stu
ation.. He said that the language was
unfortunate" but that he had no in
tention of misleading.
At the conclusion Of Mr. GINNING
hams cross-examination the hearing
was adjourned until Wednesday when
it will be resumed in Washington.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 2.-Presideat
Taft today took the first steps in the
plan for bringing about greater busi-
ness efficiency in the different depart
ments of the government, and thus
effecting economies by sending to
Washington four sets of experts, who
are to make a preliminary study Of
the situation and submit program
for carrying forward the work. Some
of these plans. or perhaps parts of all
Of them, may be accepted. The plans
to be submitted, however, are to he in
the nature of competitive bids. The
president has been given an appro
priation of $1OO,OOO for the purpose of
re-organizing departmental methods
1t is proposed that executive officers
in each department. and independent
bureaus at Washi lgton would be des
ignated to serve on a Committee to CO.
operate with the experts in bringing
about the reform.
The undertaking is voluminous and
the president Wsns to get it unde:
way at the earliest possible moment.
The inquiry will not be devoted so
much to cutting Oft :. clerk here and
there, but to formulate an entirely
new structure of methods wherever
present practice seems to demand such
treatment. This IS the first time that
a president of the United States has
had an appropriation to make inquiries
of the kind now contemplated.

their homes. their children and their
manner of living. He talked with
their wives and their children and
learned from their own lips how they
looked at life.
He climbed to the top of a coal
breaker and spent half an hour there
in the sitting coal dust so that he
might see what the boys who work
there have to do. He spent another
half hour in silk mill talking with
the girl workers. He visitetd people
in their homes and saw how they
lived. He plodded two miles through
dust, up little hills and in all man
ner of places and returned in the
evening black with CRIME, but smiling
at his experiences.
The best part Of it all, he said re-
peatedly, was that he was able to
meet people as a private citizen and
talk with them as man to man. Many
of the toilers had no idea of the ex-
presidents identity, which he took
care to conceal when possible, until
after he had finished his talk. Others
who knew who he was, treated him,
he said, not as former president, but
as plain man who had come to see
them. to talk and learn their condi-
tiOnS.

The Hague, Aug. 2.-Senator Root

American side of the question of the
New Foundland fishing case before the
Hague tribunal today, Sir w. S. Rob-

devoted nearly six days.
Senator Root in his argument point

the case were fully justified by the i'm

great that, without the arbitration
tribunal, it could not have been ad-
Indicated without resort to war.
Senator Root claimed that the diff

points of view largely arose
from the fact that Great Britain re-
