BALLINGER
EXHONERATED
BY CONGRESS
A Complete Wh;teWaSh for
the Secretary of the
lnetrior.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Completely
eXonerating Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger and the other officials OF
the department of the charges filed
| by l.. r. CLAWS, former chief of the
field division of the land Office, Attor-
ney-General Wickersham today made
public the report of his investiga-
ton of Che case, at the direction of
President Taft.
In the report Wickersham de-
clared that the insinuations and
charges of improper actions on the
part of 'Ballinger and other officials,
are, in his opinion, entirely dis
proved.
He takes occasion to score CLAWS
severely, and declares that the
charges against Ballnger were filed
as the result of CLAWS exaggerated
idea =" his own Importance" which
the attorney-general characterized as
"megalomania.
Wickersham also scored CLAWS for
not pressing the investigation of the
CUNNINGHAM claims on coal lands in
Alaska, when all the assistance he
asked from the interior department
had been forthcoming, and all the
udld III the cases we're IN ms nanQS.
CLAWS, he stated, continually pro-
crastinated and put off the compile
ton of the investigation on the un-
usual grounds that should the case
be taken Immediately to trial. he
would be compelled to prose iute 1t
without adequate evidence.
The report by Wickersham in
cludes the entire h's'o~v of the Gun.
ningham coal land claims, recites
CLAWS connection with the case, and
concludes with a lengthy summary,
completely clearing Ben'nger and
the other officers indicted by CLAWS.
The summary follows:
THE conclus'o on, which, in my
opinion are clearly established by
these papers, are as follows:

improper actions on the part of Sec
retary Ballinger, Messrs. Pierce, Den
nett or Schwartz, are, in my opinion,
entirely disproved. SO far from TAX
ing any action to favor the Cunning
ham claimants, the record shows that
Mr.. Ballinger was scrupulously care
full. In no respect did he act upon
these claims, for the reason that, dur
ing the summer of 1908, while In no
manner connected with the govern
ment, he had been consulted by some
claimants with respect to the issu-
ance of patents, and he had called
upon former Secretary of the Interior
Garfield to learn the attitude of his
department thereon. Neither his ac-
tions or his spoken or written express
sions favored these claimants. The
utmost he did was to instruct the
land Office to investigate tn ematter,
and dispose of all pending cases.
Second: That it was unlawful
for Mr.. .Ballinger to have any profess
sional relation with claimants be-
cause of his former incumbency of
the Office of land commissioner, is, in
my opinion, unsound.
Third The Cunningham loca-
tions in question were made in July
and August, 1904. All but three OF
them proceeded to entry prior to May
], 1907 the remaining three prior to
October, 1907, payments aggregating
$52,S00 being made"
The government had abundant
time to investigate the validity of
the entries. The entrymen certainly
were entitled to know with reason
able promptness any objections to Is
suing patents on their claims. and
have such objections disposed Of
within, a reasonable time.
The attention of the land Office was
directed specifically to these claims
in August, 1907. They were investi-
gated by Agents Love and Jones,
and their findings together with the
results of the investigation of all 9TH
er Alaska coal locations, were put in
CLAWS hands in January, 1908.
CLAWS had the benefit of the re-
ports of Love and Jones, and all the
essential facts relating to the claims
said to have been as contained by him
In the spring of 1908. Indeed, the
claimants do not appear to have
made any concealment of the facts
upon which the claims depended.
"He had upwards of two years to
the Investigations. The land
office furnished him with all the as
sistance required. All efforts to get
him to ppress the investigation, met
only with requests for more asst !
lnce."
