from Philadelphia arrived here this
morning and left at noon for Phila-
delphia with Roberta De Janon, the
eloping heiress, and Frederick Co.
hen, the waiter. Cohen has waived
extradition rights. The detectives
are under instructions to keep the
girl and Cohen apart during the trip.
Miss De Janon objected strenuously
to this.
That the little heiress has won her
point and will not be sent to a
boarding school Is proven by a tele-
gram from her father received today
which grants her his forgiveness.
Father and grandfather are on their

Cohen appears cheerful and says

facts and discover that he has really
saved her life, they will not prose-

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. ia
bitter attack on former Forester
Clifford Pinchot and a strong defense
of President Taft are the features of
what purports to be an interview
with Clarence Cunningham, printed
here today. 1t was the filing of the
Cunningham coal land cases in Alas
ka which caused the Ballinger-Pin-
chot controversy and the subsequent
action of Taft in dismissing Pinchot.
Cunningham is quoted as follows:
"Pinchot, in trying to out-Roose-
Welt Roosevelt, exposes his hand.
CLAWS, his tool, was influenced in
his unwarranted action by Francis
]. Heney Pinchot is actuated by
his love for notoriety, not by patri-
otism. President Taft showed by
his action in the controversy that he
is a greater man than Roosevelt.
CLAWS is bluffiRg. He has no case
and he knows it. Having failed in
their ambitions. both he and Pinchot
have resorted to underhand
methods"
