Hutchinson will be remembered as the
elderly man who occupied an office in
the BrownMarx building and who Is
said to have advertised for a companion
for an elderly lady who was to tour

vertisements was said to be very attrac-
tive. Hundreds of answers were received
by Hutchinson from ladies away from
Birmingham. To these, it Is claimed he
replied that 81 must be forwarded in
order that the applicants reputation and
fitness might be investigated. The in
vestgation, it was represented, entaled
an expense of 81.

ADVERSE REPORT
ON BALLINGER IS
MADE PUBLIC
CONTINUED FROM PAGE -

|
10, 1909, to the President and in other
correspondence and communication to the
President, Mr.. Ballinger has been fire.
quently uncandid that he has, on a num-
Der of occasions, been guilty of duplicity
and that his conduct in the premises
was intended to and did have the effect
of deceiving the President
THAT Mr.. Ballyinger, while commits
sioner of the general land office, clear
listed the so-called Cunningham claims
OH insufficient evidence and under cir
eumstances which convinces us he was
aware of the existence of other material
evidence which he did not call for or con-
slider, and which is considered should
surely have prevented the clear listing
of the claims and we find that in so clear
listing said claims Mr.. Ballinger showed
either a lamentable want of capacity and
competence or such a disregard for the
rights of the public as amounted to bad
faith
THAT as commissioner of the general
land office Mr.. Ballinger prepared the
Gale bill, that he appeared before a COM
Tittee of the. House of Representatives in
advocacy of said bill, and that he then
knew and intended that said bill. If it
became a law, would have the effect of
claims and other coal claims in Alaska
which claims were in fact fraudulent be-
cause of noncompliance with the law.
Resumes Practice
THAT after resigning as commissioner
Of the genekal land office, Mr.. Ballinger
resumed the practice of law in Seattle,
WASH. that he became interested as an
attorney in cases which were pending in
the general land office while he was COM
missioner and that in at leaset one case he
received compensation for his services,
and that such conduct was highly repre-
hensble.
while Secretary Ballinger claims that
because of his professional connection
with some of the claimants he turned
the consideration and control of all Alas
ka coal matters over to Mr.. Frank Pierce
his assistant, we find from the evidence
that he did not in fact do SO. but on the
contrary improperly continued his con-
nection Herewith and from time to time
was consulted by his subordinates and

turned yesterday from New York. where
he has been engaged for the last ten days

After the failure of Knight-Yancey this
cotton was stopped en- route, and under
an agreement that the court should de-
eide TO whom the proceeds should go, the
cotton was sold.
Mr.. Burr spent his time in question
ing the witnesses of the brokers, who
sought to prove that night-Yancey owed
them money and that they held forged
bills for the cotton.
The case will be tried here on Monday
September 10, the evidence taken in New
York being a part of the testimony The
