 Idaho. the agent in all the Cunning. ham claims, which contained this en- try:
 Have agreed with Mir, w D. Hey. bur in consideration for his services as attorney to carry him for one claim of 160 acres in the coal, free of cost to him. and he agrees to do all our legal work in procuring titles, etc In an acknowledgment made subse- quent to the loss of his journal, Gun ningham made public letter from Senator W. B. Heyburn of Idaho, in which the senator sau:
 T don't desire to participate in or be interested in any manner, directly or indirectly, in acquiring public land. Whatever services l may perform op- enly within my duty as public of- ficial for yourself or any other con stituent l shall cheerfully perform, but not for any consideration, direct ly or indirectly. I do not desire any interest to be carried for me or on my account with view of any pres- ent or future profit to myself"
 Cunningham preceded this letter with the statement:
 "As soon as I became aware that coal lands could not be taken in Alas ka under the mineral laws, Mr. Hey burned informed me in person that he could not act under said agreement" !"
 The journal continued under date of 1903, an agreement among the Cum ningham claimant to form a company, each claimant to give Cunningham one-eighth of his stock in return for l services rendered.
 Gavis told further of his inyestiga- ton into the alleged fraud of the Gun ningham group, and said that when he first approached Cunningham the latter declared he had heard that complaint had been made that he rep resented the Guggenheims. He denled this and to carry out the denials sub mitted the Journal to Glavis, who held t as evidence against Cunningham. The morning was devoted to an en. , deavor by the prosecution to show the haste in which MT. Baliinger, as commissioner of tho land office, had urged the Cunningham Alaska claims to clear listing or patents. As.de from the documentary evidence read, the afternoon session was taken up almost wholly with Glavis' story of his various interviews with Mir. Bal finger, in which the Cunningham land cases always formed the topic of dis cussion.
 One of the most interesting ievel- opments of the day was the dist.ibu- tion at both morning and afternoon sessions of a quantity of press mat ter which purported to point the sig nificance of the testimony thus far given. The matter came in an en- velope of the American Conservation Association, of which Clifford pinchos recently was chosen president. The afternoon matter began:
 "The important developments of the morning session today were" and tLon went on to recite that the proceedings had placed Secretary Ballinger in an adverse light.
 It was said that this service would continue throughout the investigation.
 Thomas R. Shipp, former secretary 70 Senator Beyeridge of TndlaEa. wno resigned that position to become tho press agent for the bureau os fores- try under MT. Pinchot, and wio he- came an officer of the cons ervation association when it was fornted, is one of the constant attendants at the hearing.
 The following witnesses today were subpoenaed to appear before the com mittee at the request of the prosecu- ton:
 Horace T. Jones. land office, Port land. Ore; Arthur R. Bowman, Chey- enne, Wyo,; Andrew Kennedy, Seat tie, Wash; Henry w. Hove, attorney general of Porto Rico; H. c. Richard son, Seattle. Wash.
