Attorney Osborne told Joseph A. Deg
huee his New York chemist to test the
writing on this stub, to disprove the
assertions of the opposing experts Mr.
Deghuee was finally allowed TO go into
a side room and apply muriatic acld
to the writing. As was expected, he
returned and announced that the re-
action obtained supported his asser-
tons and contradicted those Of the
other side.
The final dispute OF the day came
when Mr.. Osborne again attempted to
offer in evidence the letter from the
Acme Road Machinery Co, discussing
an alleged proposal to pool bids with
rival concerns. The prosecution has
striven to connect Aids with this let
ter because he held stock in the COM
pany and at one time acted as it's at
torney. Aids attorneys renewed their
objections declaring that as a stock
holder only, their client was not re-
sponsibIe for the company's acts.

submit the question to the Senate next

BALLlNGER.PlNcHOT ECHOES
Heard in Examination of Witnesses in
Alaska Coal Claims Contest.

Washington. March 1.-THE contest
involving the validity of the title OF
the Cunningham coal claims in Alaska,
the basic cause OF the Ballinger- Pinch
ot investigation, was transferred to
Washington today when the eXamina :
ton of witnesses in this city was be-
gun before United States Commission
er William J. McGow.
Horace Jones. Il special agent of the
general land office, occupied the stand
during the entire day, his testimony
relating primarily to the evidence he
and l.. r. CLAWS collected from the
Cunningham entrymen
An echo of the Ballinger- Pnchot in
vestigation was injected into the pro-
ceedings by an inquiry by f.. G.
Hughes, chief counsel for the claim
ants, referring to the sensational state
ment made by Mr.. Jones before the
congressional committee to the effect
that James NJ. Sheridan, in charge of
the governments case, practically
threw the case away by giving counsel
for claimants an opportunity to eX-
anime all the evidence collected by the
agents of the land office
Hughes asked the witness if he did
not know that this was done merely
to permit the attorneys to examine
this evidence to enable them to estab-
iish the verify of the signatures. The
witness denied that he had any such
knowledge

The Civic Forum Lecture Bureau

EXCITEMENT CONTINUES
And "Uncle Joe" Is Repeatedly Called
"Czar" and dictator"

Washington, March 1S.-The fight in
the House reached crisis at 1880 A.
NJ. when Minority Leader Clark, after
a hot denunciation of the filibuster,
which he charged the Speaker with
heading, moved that the Speaker be re-
quired to rule on the pending resolu-
ton to re-organize the committee on
rules. Mann, Rep. Ills, rose to debate
the resolution.
Clark, in accusing the Speaker of
being responsible Tor the long filibus-
ter, said:
1T is the best illustration of the
charge which the Speaker denied of
being car. He knew how he intended
to rule on this point of order the min
ute it was raised"
He moved the Speaker be required
to rule. A yell from the insurgents
and Democrats greeted the motion
Mann. Rep. Ills, opposed the motion.
He contended that if it were permitted
to present an amendment at any time,
it would be an unprecedented weapon
for filibustering.
"One hundred men of the minority,
each with an amendment of rules could
interrupt the business of this House
forever" he declared.
Clayton, Ala, reiterated Clark's
charge, that in refusing to rule. or to
submit the ruling to the House the
Speaker was exhibiting himself as a
dictator.
In his remarks, Mann said he was
inclined to believe the time was not
far distant when the Democrats would
control the House. At / o'clock, Mann
was still speaking.

THE WORLDS UNREST
Due to Combination Of Forces An.
tagonistic to Labor.

Washington, March 1.-THE unusual uf.-
rest in the world Of labor at the present
time is attributed by President Gompers
TO a combination of forces antagonistic
TO the cause of labor. designed to crush
the rights of the working man. While
not divulging the plans of the labor or
ganiZations, he said in an interview to-
day that everything possible would be
done by them to protect the interests OF
the working masses.
Although wages had not been generally
decreased, he said the enormous advance
in the cost of living in the past few years
had rendered conditions tantamount to q
decrease in the compensation of the
working classes. He cited the court de-
cisions involving labor under the Sher-
man antitrust law and said that all
means would be exhausted to meet the
situation.
Referring to the court decisions in the
West Virginia mining case that sympa-
thetic strikes are unlawful, Mr. Gompers
would not indicate the next step OF the
labor organizations in the contest. but
intimated that the matter would be con-
tinued through all the avenues of aDpeal
possible for a successful outcome from
the standpoint of labor.
