CLIFFORD P|NCHOT
IS INDICATED
Cunningham Coal Land Claims
Decided Illegal.
MANY MILLIONS INVOLVED.
With Secetary Of Inferior w. l.
Fishers Approval of the Depart
ment's Decision the Last Door
Is Closed to the Claimants.

Washington.-The famous Cunning
ham Alaskan coal land claims,
through which it has been alleged
that the Morgan-Guggenheim syndi-
cate had planned TO extend their vast
interests in Alaska and to control one
of the most valuable coal fields in the
world, were finally disallowed by the
Department of the Interior.
Secretary of the Interior Walter L.
Fisher, having approved the depart
.ment's decision, as handed down by
Fred bennett, commissioner of the
Land Office, the last door is believed
to have been closed to the Cunning
ham claimants. Their attorneys have
threatened an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, but such an ap.
peal can be based only on some point
of law involved and not on the find
ings of fact as announced by the de-
partment
The Cunningham claims have been
in the public eye constantly for more
than two years. They brought about
the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation by
Congress and the dismissal from the
public service of Chief Forester Gif.
ford Pinchot, Louis R. Calvin, a chief
of field division in the land Office, and
several minor officials. Both Messrs.
Pinchot and CLAWS were dismissed for
tnsubordination incident to their at.
tacks on former Secretary Ballinger,
whom they claimed was favorably dis
posed toward the claims
In announcing the decision of the
department, Secretary Fisher, who
succeeded Mr. Ballinger in March
last, declared that new coal land laws
are needed in Alaska if that territory
is to be developed properly In a
statement the Secretary said:
This is a final decision OF the Cum
ningham claims so far as the Depart
ment of the Interior is concerned
Any further proceedings will be mere
ly formal for the purpose of perfect.
ing the record in case the claimants
think there are questions of law which
they desire to present to the courts
1t is my understanding that it is CON
ceded that the findings upon the facts
by the department are conclusive.
at is the intention of the depart
ment to proceed at once to a final de-
termination of all the remaining
Alaskan coal claims so far as this
can properly be done, denying those
that should be denied and granting
those that should be granted as rapid.

the cab window to get breath Of cool
air, Fred Schilling, an engineer on the

Americans Learning Spanish.

Boston. Mass.-Pupils desirous of
learning Spanish in the schools are
numerous. During the last term at
Columbia university. conferences were
held in that institution in the lam
guage of Cervantes. The mayor of
Boston recently compelled all the
school masters in his Jurisdiction to
include Spanish in the school curricul-
um and 1t may safely be affirmed that
there is hardly mercantile firm of
any Importance in the United States
that does not possess an employe who
can both speak and write Spanish
fluently.
The reason of all this is not far
to seek. The United States in its
anxiety to find new markets for its

America and hopes to find a new field
there and also in Central America
among its many republics. AMI they
