Washington, Feb. 3.-An analysis of
the evidence thus far adduced before
the Ballinger Pinchot investigating
committee in the form of official docu-
ments and the testimony of the wit
ness, Louis r. CLAWS, shows strong
indictment, at least against Mr.. Taft's
secretary of the interior.
There has been effort TO show that
his acts were unlawful or that he was
actually guilty of grating, but strong
case has been presented to demon
strate the impropriety of his conduct
both as an official and as private cit
izen appearing as counsel for the coal

Corpse Identified.
The corpse of Maestro Llirio. found
Wednesday near the air shaft. was re-
moved late yesterday and identified
by wage receipts found in his breast
pocket. He was unmarried and has
relatives who live in Cardiff, Ill. The
body was in good condition, despite
the three months entombment.
The body, placed in canvas and then
sewed in a gunny sacking. was brought
up the air shaft in a large steel bucket
wherein it was standing on end. The
body was placed in a rough box AMI
loaded on a dump wagon The only
three women spectators began to
weep, and one old man. who has two
sons in the mine. shed tears. There
were no other demonstrations.
Obstacles In the way.
To reach the 80 bodies supposed 70

To reach the 135 in the east part of

Some Points Made.
The points made in regard to this
improperly are these:
1. That Ballinger knew from the
affidavits obtained by CLAWS and his
assistants that there was collusion and
fraud on the part of the claimants. and
that dummy" entrymen were being
used; that the work upon the claims
was being done in common, indicating
that when the claims were patented
they were to be turned over to one
com bine.
2. That the journal kept by Clar-
ence Cunningham. agent for the Cum
ningham group showed that the claim
ants had entered into an agreement to
turn their holdings over to a company:
that one claim was reserved for Sena-
tor Hepburn of Idaho in return for legal
services rendered the company.
