.BALLINCER ON
Stand TODAY
Declares He Never Had Any Pri-
vate Business With Cunning
ham Entrymen.
'Ht GIVES the LIE TO CLAWS
Denouncss as a "WilfuI, Deliberate
Lie" Statement He and CLAWS Had
Talked About Specific
Alaskan Lands.

Washington, ID. G.. April 29.-Bal-
linger took the stand soon after the

morning and his attorney. Vertrees,

alton.
Ballinger recounted the story OF his
career up to the time he became COM
missioner general of the land office on
the earnest solicitation of President
Roosevelt. Secretary Garfield and Sem
ator Piles. Replying to questions. he
said he knew OF the six Cunningham
Alaskan coal claimants at the time he
became commissioner; that he had no
interest In Alaskan or any other
lands; that he was the organizer of a
mining company that had interests in
gold diggings at Nome.
He described how he reorganized the
land Office. This was followed by a
reference TO the CLAWS testimony that
he and Ballinger had talked about
specific groups of Alaska coal lands.
This Ballinger denounced as "a wilful,
deliberate lie"

were clear listed because there was
no protest in the record and added
that he would do the same today as
he did then. He declared emphatical-
ly he never had any professional OF

ed as Cunningham entrymen.

BRYCE PRAISES
UNIVERSITIES
English Ambassador, Speaking
to Students, Pays Tribute to
u. S. Schools.
GREAT PROGRESS IS NOTED
Mo Other Country in Which SO Large
a Proportion of Young Men and
Women Are Receiving Uni
versity Education.

Lawrence, Kan. Apr. 29.-"Three-
fourths the mistakes a man makes are
made because he does not really know
the thing he thinks he knows" said
Ambassador Bryce i'm an address to-
dav 10 the students of the University
of Kansas.
Bryce urged upon his hearers the
necessity OF knowing history and said
the habit of sound, careful. independ-
ent thinking was the best intellectual
quality young man could start with
in his life's journey. Prof. Jesse Ma
cey of Grinnell college, Iowa, followed
Bryce. speaking briefly.
Ambassador Bryce paid special tri-
butte TO the universities of this coun-
try, saying that there was nothing in
this country which he noted with
greater pleasure than the continued
advance of the American colleges and
universities.
The last thirty years, Mr.. Bryce
said had seen the establishment and
development by the state legislatures
of a large number of state institutions
Of higher education, to which annually
liberal grants of money were made.
The appreciation of such facilities was
shown, he said. by the large and con-
stantly increasing attendance not only
at the universities and technical COL
leges supported by the states. but also
at the colleges OF private foundation.
Mr.. Bryce said he loved the Amer
lean universities. he admired the earn
estness which the teachers threw into
their work, often insufficiently re-
munerated. He expected great re-
suits from the diffusion of knowledge
among all classes OF the people. and
believed that many men OF natural
gifts who might otherwise have been
left without adequate training would
be thus enabled not only to succeed in
life but also to render admirable SER
vice to the community as writer's and
teachers and workers for the public
good. There was. he believed. no 9TH
er country in the world In which so
large proportion of the young men
and women were now receiving edu-
cation OF the university type as here
in the United States.
The Ambassador expressed the opin-
ion that the United States possessed
now, thanks to the munificence of the
states and of private benefactors. all
the Institutions OF that kind that would
he required. and that what was now
needed was to develop the efficiency of
these Institutions by increasing the
teaching STAFF, and by providing higher
salaries so as to secure the ablest men
that could be had, and to develop the
teaching of these subjects which were
less likely to be popular because they
did not seem so directly practical but
which, nevertheless. were essential to
well equipped university and a truly
liberal education.
