The members Of the Travellers Protec-

body, object strongly to any proposed
parcels post legislation. The travelling
statesmen claim that the advantage this
system might bring to the rural farmer
is more than offset by the injury it does
to village trade. AS the different state
organizations of commercial travellers
have almost unanimously acted on this
matter during the past year. some active
measures Of opposition probably will be
taken by the national convention In Phil

cause he had friends at court-Mayor

of the laboratory were advanced by va

that 1t was really national undertaking,

CUNNINGHAM CASE
WILL Be REOPENED
La Toilette Attacks Guggen-
helm Interests.

The Senate yesterday passed a resolu-
ton offered by Senator La Toilette, CALL
ing for information from the Interior De-
partment. The resolution asks for the
facts regarding the circumstances Of the
withdrawal by the President on October
IS last of 1850 acres OF lands that had
formed a part Of the Chugach forest re-
serve IN Alaska near Cordova, the res
toration OF the lands to the public domain
and their subsequent entry. The case
bids fair to reopen the Cunningham coal
land cases.
The lands, It Is claimed by men who
influenced Senator La Toilette to intro
duce the resolution of inquiry control the
transportation to and from the Cunning
ham coal deposits and also afford the
only outlet for the forest products and
other natural resources Of the COM
munity.
Delegate James Wickersham, Of Alaska,
who has been sadly out of touch with
the administration OF President Taft on
the policy for developing Alaska, claims
that the lands opened for entry by the
President last October have been practi-
cally all gobbled up by agents OF the
Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate. Indeed.
the resolution passed yesterday calls for
complete list of the names OF entrymen
on the lands. the forms of entry, and
whether soldiers additional homestead
scrip was used for any entries. The Sem
ator also exhibits a curiosity to know
whether any of the claims were assigned
subsequent to entry.
The point made by the Delegate from
Alaska and other critics of the Presi-
dents order is tina: the land controls
not only the overland right OF way to
and from the valuable mineral deposits
and timber products. but that it controls
the only safe harbor in that vicinity.
The Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate now
owns the harbors at Cordova and Mel
son, the only other points capable Of
developing harbors.

What effect will Mr.. Kirby's
action have on future auction
sales advertised by himself?
There is but one answer:
Everybody will have FAITH IN
THE GEN UINENESS of
everything he offers.
The incident at the sale in ques-
ton gave everybody absolute
confidence, and the balance of the
Schemm collection sold quickly
and at good prices.
The skeptic or cynic or doubter
might say that Mr.. Kirby had
prearranged all of this just to
create a desire to buy the other
pictures, but it so happens that
these paintings had been on ex-
hibition for several days and had
been favorably mentioned by the
newspaper critics-yet Mr.. Kirby
and the son of Mr.. Inness dis
covered that they were not gen.
