COAL CLAIMS MAY BE PRoBED.
Committee May Make Direct Inquiry

Committee May Make Direct Inquiry
Into Guggenheim N organ Holdings.
Washington, March 31-An order for
further detailed documentary evidence
issued yesterday by the Ballinger in
vestigation committee indicates that
the first apparent object Of the inves-
tigation may sink into secondary i'm
portance and may be superseded In
public interest by an actual. direct in
quiry into the question whether the
vast inestimable wealth Of Alaska has
fallen into the hands of the Guggen-
helms and Morgan.
The surprisingly contradictory
statements which have developed re-
garding the status of agreement
reached between Cunningham and his
associates and the Acknowledgment
helm interests so far remain unex-
-plained.
The committee has before it the doc
limentary evidence that on Dec. Z,
1907, Daniel Guggenheim accepted the
terms of an agreement with Cunning
ham and his associates by which the
Guggenheims should obtain a half in
terest in $5,O00,0OO stock company by
the payment of $250,OO0, and that the
company should furnish the Guggen-
Another document which bears the
date of March s, 190S-three months
the sworn statement of
Clarence Cunningham that the Gug-
genheisns had no interest whatever,
direct or indirect, in the so-called
Cunningham claims in Alaska.
The discrepancy was pointed out
when former Secretary Garfield was on
the stand.
Representative James asked him:
"Then when he Cunningham } swore
that nothing like that existed, that was
stall, was it not?"
Il think So" replied Garfield.
The Cunningham supporters contend
that the Guggenheims failed to carry
out certain provisions Of the agree
ment and that it was abrogated for
that reason. They also contend that
Cunningham and the men who acted
with him had no authority to act for
the claimants.
The testimony Of Stephen Birch,
managing director, and John N. Steele,
counsel for the Guggenheim- Morgan,
syndicate, showed that the syndicate
controls all the steamships plying from
Washington ports to Alaska and the
only two railroads capable of running
in the territory. In addition 1t was
shown that the syndicate controls the
only practicable gateways to the in
terror Of Alaska.
The fact that in the beginning of the
Alaska coal land investigation it was
contended by several of those supposed
to be interested, that the Guggenheims
had no part in the coal land claims and
the reverse Is now openly admitted
and shown by evidence combined with
the. contradictory statements, is ex-
pected to lead deeper into the matter
than was originally contemplated
With the Steamship lines and the
railroads in their possession !t IS IS shown
that the Guggenheims and Morgans
sought to control the coal output. Many
Alaskan authorities point out that with
the control of the coal the syndicate
would control practically the entire in
dustry of>the territory and in effect
everybody in Alaska would be working
directly or Indirectly for the Guggen-
helms and J. p. Morgan.
