Cunningham Cases Now Ready
For Final. Adjudication Of
Land Office

Washington, May 1o.-Final argu-
ment in the hearing on the Cunning
ham Alaskan coal land claims was
presented today before Secretary OF
the Interior Fisher and the land Of
flee board, in whose hands rests the
final decision as to whether Clarence
Cunningham and the other thirty-two
claimants have a right to patents to
certain coal lands in Alaska.
Nothing was suggestion and sus-
picion ever has existed, declared
John Pray, attorney for the claim
ants, today, to prove that any attempt
was made to defraud the government
The evidence, in his opinion, had
amply answered the suspicious Of
conspiracy. He told the tribunal that
there can be no middle ground, that
either Cunningham and the others
were guilty of conspiracy and per-
jury or. are entitled to their patents
He quoted freely from testimony
which had been introduced to prove
his contention that there never had
been any agreement between the
claimants bat that each en-
tryman has been active for himself.
Commissioner bennett and his ad-
visers probably will be occupied
about three weeks in preparing their
decision.
