Mr.. Brandeis, attorney for CLAWS, arose.
He declared CLAWS had stated his purpose
in this inquiry.
He has no other motive than to tell the
truth" shouted the lawyer. "He is bring
ing all the facts he can before the COM
mittee-al that he considers important-to
assist the committee in considering Mr.,
Ballinger's case"
Representative Graham interposed. II
don't blame Mr.. Vertrees for getting i'm
patient at the hesitation Of speech of the
witness, but the witness should be allowed
to explain his answers"
Chairman Nelson said;
1T is apparent 10 me that almost every
answer made by the witness has string
to It, He has made no direct answers.
II want to hay, however. that the COM
mittee will be able to Judge OF the facts
produced in this case, and the only effect
of these long answers with arguments ap-
pended is simply to delay proceedings"

LINCOLN, Feb. 1s.-(Special. )-George
w. Wiltse Of Cedar county has wrttel
to Attorney General Thompson for an
opinion on the law regulating the inspec-
tion Of stock and cattle before sale at
public auction.
Senator Wlltse wrote that at this time
Of tho year there are many sales at farms
and that recently inspectors appointed by
the state veterinarian have been demand
ing that they be paid a certain amount
for inspecting each ami Mtl offered for
sale and expenses
The farmers, he said, looked upon this
as simply a holdup and II is his opinion
that the law did not contemplate this state
OF affairs. Stock sold at public auction
by the farmers are bought by their neigh
bors and not taken out OF the particular
neighborhood where the sale occurs. The
law, as he understands It, Is for the pur-
pose OF having stock inspected when II is
to be shipped out or has been shipped into
the state and Is sold at the public stock

10 WISH TO COBBLE ALASKA
Representatives Of Morgan-Guggen-
helm Syndicate Deny Charge.
SINGLE ROAD AND COPPER MINE
General Counsel steele and Managing
Director birch Testify Before
Senate COnnittee-NaiU-
tained No Lobby.

wAsHINGToN. Feb. 1S-The interesting
spectacle Of the Morgan Guggenheim syn
dicate, through legal representatives ap-
pcaring before a Congressional committee
to Justify its operations In the development
Of industries in Alaska. today packed the
room OF the senate committee on terri
tories. 1t was denied that the syndicate
had monopoly Of any industrial interest
Senator Beveridge recently received a
letter from J. p, Morgan q Co., asking
permission to send representatives to ans
wer exaggerated reports printed in the
magazines and newspapers OF the work of
the syndicate formed by that company and
the Messrs. Guggenhesm." The permission
was given and today John n. Steele, gen
eral counsel for the syndicate, and Stephen
Birch. the managing director, appeared.
Mr., Birch was put on the stand and his
story drawn out by Nr. Steele. It resulted
in testimony to the effect that all Of the
money spent In the enormous development
OF Alaskan resources had been furnished
by the syndicate itself! that the Morgan
Guggenhiem syndicate had not issued
single bond or share Of stock; that the
syndicate had never received anything
from the government in tire way OF money,
Owns Single RadIrOad.
II was testified further that the syndi-
cate owned one railroad and had no inter-
est in any other in Alaska; that It owned
one copper mine and had no interest In
any other and owned no coal lands at
all. Testimony was given about the nego-
tistions for the Cunningham claims, but It
was said these hinged upon patents being
issued for the claims and that these nego-
tiations had come to nothing. The railroad
owned by the syndicate is now 10e miles
long and Is to be extended to 1O9 miles
Both Messrs. Steele and Birch insisted
that there was no truth in reports that
the syndicate had or was seeking a monop-
oily of railroads, steamship lines fisheries,
copper mines and coal lands in ALASKA,
They denied with great emphasis that they
we're trying to 'gobble up Alaska" or that
Delegate Wickersham had ever been au-
thorized to act as q lobbyist for the syndi-
cate.
MIR. Birch said that Messrs Guggenheim
had agreed to form IS, ,O0o, 600 corporation
to develop the lands; one-haif interest to
be held by the .Guggenheims and the other
half by Cunningham and his associates.
The Guggenheims were to pay s25o.OO0 for
their half, he said and in addition were
to loan 100000 IL It was needed
Messrs. Birch and Steele win be cross
examined by the members OF the COM
mittee at another hearing.
NEW YORK, Feb 1a--Unqualified denial

Motives of MF. CLAWS.
The late afternoon was devoted to an in
quiry into tho motives Of Mr.. CLAWS in
seeking teh assistance of Mr.. Pinchot
Claws said he went to him because he
had faith in him and felt he was abso-
lutely sincere. Mr. vertrees explained sew
eral OF his long questions today by the
statement that he was searching out the
motives fthe witness to ascertain whether
they were innocent or malicious.
Counsel for Secretary BaninGer drew
from the witness the fact that up TO the
time Mr.. Ballinger went out of office as
land commissioner in March, 190S there had
been no evidence OF fraud in the Alaska
coal cases presented to the department.
The Cunningham Journal which con-
tained evidence of an alleged agreement,
Claws said, had not been found at that
time. However, the witness, declared that
Mr.. Balllnger, in his opinion had not acted
as a man would II the property had been
his own instead Of the governments.
AS to Mr.. Balllnger's participation in the
Wilson Coal company, CLAWS admitted that
he had no first-hand knowledge and that
he testified merely from hearsay.
StrinEa to All Answers.
Mr.. vertrees Questioned the witness more
closely than ever today.
Mr.. Vertrees protested to the committee
that CLAWS always tiles string to his
and proceeded:
II am trying to get at the purpose, the
motive. the object, OF the witness, whether
It Is innocent or malicious"

throughout the state and finished up
their trip with the inspection of the
railroad properties in this city.

the commissioners on their tour of in
spection and showed them over the en-
tire 500 miles under his supervision.
After their inspection Of the yards,
shops and buildings in this city, the

derfor that the Illinois Central was
decidedly the best equipped and con-
Quoted road in the state, and that the

They complimented Supt. Neuderfor
highly on the excellent showing of the

no cause whatever for complaint Of
any kind.
