DEMOCRAT DEFENDS CANNON.
Kitchin Attacks Near Insurgents
and Payne Tariff.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau. !


Washington Feb 25-RepresentatiT
Claude Kitchin. of North Carolina, carried
off the oratorical honors in the House to-
day by a speech in which his most forceful
periods were devoted 20 criticism of the
near insurgents" and a defence of Speaker
Cannon as Republican. BY the "near in
sIlrgents' he meant and named Representa-
tives Foster. of Vermont; Taylor and Cole,
of Ohio: Townsend of Michigan, and others
who he said against Speaker Cannon
a home and for him when the roll is called.
lie declared that Speaker Cannon repre-
sents the best thought and the most ap-
proved methods of the Republican mem
bership of the House and that the criticism
which is directed toward him should be
more properly directed toward the Republi-
can party
In support of his declaration that Repre-
sentatives Foster, of Vermont, and Hamil-
ton, of Michigan. had become less friendly
toward the Speaker since the beginning of
the present session he quoted several Wash
ington dispatches to The Tribune which de-
scribed the meeting of the Republican Con-
gressional committee in Washington. where
both Representatives took serious issue with
Mr.. Cannon. Mr.. Kitchin attacked the
Payne tariff law, and expressed surprise
that it has not been more generally defend
ed by Republicans in the House. His col
leagues applauded his speech vociferously.
and he received many congratulations.
Representative Foster took occasion later
in the afternoon to define his attitude tow
ard Speaker Cannon. He declared that he
would not support him for the Speakership,
and entirely substantated the outline of
his views given by The Tribune

the suggestions heretofore made by this
department" said Secretary Ballinger. when
asked for his opinion with reference to bills
introduced by the Senator to conserve
Alaska coal. ".All unaqpropriated coal lands
in Alaska were withdrawn from location
and entry November 70 1905. and still re
main withdrawn.
In my annual report to the President,
dated November 10, 1899. I suggested the
necessity Of new legislation relating 10 coal
lands in the states and territories, as well
as Alaska, and recommended the enactment
of legislation separating the right 70 mine
from the title to the soil, and the leasing
of the coal deposits in the land subject 10
such conditions as would control The mini
mum output and conserve the deposits as
public utility. A bill was prepared in fur
tterance of this recommendation and sub
nlitted to Senator Nelson, who promptly
introduced the same on January is. 1910
This bill, if enacted into law, will reserve
all coal deposits, both in the United States
and Alaska. 10 which vested :ight has
not been acquired. and will permit of leas-
ing the same IN areas not exceeding 1850
acres with appropriate conditions designed
TO prevent monopoly and eXtortion and to
insure the reasonable development of the
coal"
The Secretary also called attention to the
fact that as early as 1907, when he was
Commissioner of the General Land Office,
IN his report TO The Secretary of the In
terror ne made comprehensive suggestions
as to needed changes in the land laws sug
gesting the separate disposition OF the coal
and the surface Of the lands containing the
deposits, recommending the disposition OF
the coal through leasing system or by
sale on such conditions as would require
the operation of the coal deposits under rea-
sonabe limitations and maintenance of an
output reasonably suited to the deposits
with provision for forfeiture of title in cases
of combinations as 10 prices or Limitation
OF the output
Commenting on the statement said TO
have been made by Clarence Cunningham
yesterday in Seattle with reference 10 the
Cunningham group of Alaska ,oaI claims,
Secretary Bsllinger said Nh. Cunning
ham is mistaken as 10 the facts with refer
ence 10 the action taken by the Interior De
partment. No decision has been rendered
by me or any other officer of the Interior
Department confirming the claims No pat
ents whatever have been issued upon the
Cunningham or any other Alaska coal
claims. Every coal claim in Alaska is
held up pending investigation as 70 its va
GGity- The Interior Department IS now
engaged in taking testimony in the endeav-
or 10 suhstantiate the charge of its special
agents that the Cunningham coal Claims are
Illegal, and should this fact be proved, the
claims viii lie cancelled"

OF practically all the Hughes policies ex-
cept some feature of the direct primary

questions from the floor. and Elmer o.
Sammis OF the 5th Assembly District. took
issue with him. Mr.. Samniis said that with
hardly an exception the Republican CON

affect the chances of the party in the fall

sible for the actions of a few OF its rep

Justice Lurton was directed to the Circuit
Court to take that case TO the Supreme

rule of the federal law was that there was
no appeal from an intermediate decision

plea at bar for immunity. on the ground
Of having testified before federal grand

Delaney Nicoll. of counsel for tie Press
Publishing Company, publishers of The
World" received the governments notice
of appeal and assignments of error last
evening from United States Attorney Wise.
Mr.. Wise said, when asked about the gov
ernment's action, that the case WAS out of
his hands now. The basis of appeal was
that the court erred in its decision that II
had no jurisdiction.
The government all along has felt that
an important issue was involved in the de-
cision of Judge Hough in its effect on the
enforcement of state penal laws in local
tiles under federal jurisdiction. This is the
real and only point on which the govern
ment desires the opinion of the Supreme
Court. Irrespective of it's effect in the
present instance, Mr.. Wickersham said il
might be farreaching in other cases coming
before the courts.
