HIS CONTACT WITH CLAWS
Deplores Fact That He Delivered
Records of His Division to
Field Agent.

The belief that the Cunningham claim
ants for coal land patents in Alaska
have been acting in good faith and en-
deavoring to comply with the law was
expressed at the hearing before United
States Commissioner MCGEE in the Cen
tury building today by United States
Marshal Henry X. Love of Alaska, who
was formerly special agent of the land
office for the territory of Alaska. In all
his dealings with Clarence Cunningham,
the marshal said. he had found him to
be straightforward and honest man. He
depiored the fact that he had delivered
the records of his division to Louis r..
CLAWS upon the order of CLAWS, instead
of asking instructions from his superiors
in Washington.
From these records the whole Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy resulted after CLAWS
had examined the records and consulted
with former forester Clifford Pinchot. The
witness brought in the name Of Secretary
Ballinger of the Interior Department by
quoting a ''curbstone opinion which the
Secretary had made to him while in
Seattle and in which he declared the Sec
rotary, who was then commissioner of the
general land Office. told him that any
agreement to combine before patents had
been issued on the land vitiated the claims
of all the Cunningham claimants.
The witness created a laugh by saying
that the bigger the lawyer the less he
knows about the land laws
At The same time he declared that an
other eminent jurist, also of Seattle, had
delivered an opinion which was just the
reverse of that of Mr.. Ballinger. He
said. however, that he believed Judge Bal
linger would probably say if he was ask
ed about it today. that he UIove) was not
quoting him correctly or had not given
the correct version of his answer.
The examination of the witness was
conducted by Attorney Sheridan for the
government and later cross-examination
by Attorney Gray of Wallace Idaho, for
the Cunningham claimants. Marshal
Love said he acted special agent of
the land office in Alaska from the spring
% 1893 TO Septembers 1903, and during
"a time he was supposed to investigate
tire bona fides of every claim for land

POST INSTITUTES
 SUIT FOR DIVORCE


 New York, December 3.-Augustus T Post, the balloonist who has figured In 8 number of daring flights, brought suit for the annulment of his marriage today on the ground that his wife never was separated legally from her first husband. MT. and Mrs. Post have been living apart for two years.
 In her answer to the suit Mrs. Post, who has been married three times, denies the allegation. She was married first to John s. Keaghy, Texas judge, in 1871, and left him seven years later. He sued for divorce, but the suit was decided against him. In 1895 Mrs. Keaghy was married to Daniel Halliday of New York, and two years later she filed a suit for separation. Halliday filed a counter suit but died while the matter was in the courts.
 MT. Post became acquainted with her aboard a steamship while returning from Europe They were married shortly after and Mrs. Post alleges all the circum- stances of the case were known to MT. Post at the time. Mrs. Post says she sought legal advice and was told that she was free to marry again. The case was adjourned until tomorrow.

COURT AFFIRMS
 MILEAGE CASE

Charlotte. N C., December 12-In the report of the action of the North Caro- lima supreme court in the case of liar vey vs. the Atlantic Coast Line, it was erroneously stated that the court had dealt a knockout blow to the regulation O. railroads operating in North Carolina which requires holders of mileage books to exchange mileage at stations for tick cts The opinion of the court only af- firmed the decision of the lower court awarding S2500 damages to Harvey, who brought suit when he was put off a train after he was unable to exchange his mile age at station because of a large crowd al the ticket window.
 After reviewing the case, however. Chief Justice Clark. in a supplementary opin- ion, said:
 T not only concur in the opinion oi the court, but further, upon point as to which 1t was not found necessary foi the court to express itself l am of the opinion that requirement. that the holder of a mileage book shall present it and ob- tain a ticket thereon is an unreasonable regulation, therefore void."

Negro Has White Mans Sympathy

New York, December 12.-Booker T.. Washington told the congregation of the Fourth Presbyterian church (white) here today that the friction between the white and black races is on the surface. and that at the bottom the southern negro has the sympathy of the southern white in his efforts at honest self-betterment.
 "WheD I see 8 successful negro bank er," he said, ''and ask him where he got his start, he will usually point to some southern white man and say, That white man loaned me the money and helped me with his advice. That shows that the problem IS on the way to solution. 1 know what race prejudice means; I know what poverty means; but there is a spirit of fair play in the American people that will reward success, whether of white man or a black man."

PARDON BOARD MEETS

Montgomery, December 12.-(Special.)- In issuing this afternoon an order for the re-opening of an alleged saloon that had been closed by injunction, Judge Arm stead Brown, an out-and-out state-wider, established precedent that is one of the most unusual ever set in the state. The effect of the order is to dissolve, under certain conditions, the injuntcion feature of the Fuller prohibition measure.
 Saturday the soft drink stand at the Gay Teague hotel, in this city, was closed by injunction which was secured by Sheriff Horace Hood, and about $50 worth of goods were seized and confiscated. This morning Attorneys fletcher. McCord and Harold, speaking for the parties against whom the injunction was issued, demanded of the court that the establish ment be reopened. on the ground that the Fuller prohibition measure did not au- thorize a perpetually closed shop. The point was considered good one by the court, and the stand was this afternoon again opened to the public. Merits of the case will be discussed at a day to be set.
