As an artist Wagner had unequaled

temperate and virtuous to an unusual
degree. he also had extraordinary
faults. He was egotistical and proud.
prone to fierce enmities; he went to
extremes In everything. A living par
adox: impatient. irritable and nervous;
noble and petty; never made a man
more friends and more enemies. He
was worshiped and hated. Taken all

before he began to give his testimony.
Today he stands with Pinchot, CLAWS.
Price, and Shaw, among the men vim
dicated by the final outcome.
The investigation at last closed, three
reports were made up; one by the pro-
Administration majority, completely ex-
onerating Ballinger and texcoriating
one sy the Democratic CT mIno
sas, the tnsurgent. The two minority
reports condemned Ballinger as un-
faithful to his trust, and commenced
the men who had been dismissed for
opposing him.
Determined efforts were made to force
Congress to vote on these reports; bu.
there was first a mysterious delay IN
the printing of the reports; parnamen-
tary tactics were employed which made
ton; and in the end nothing whatever
came Of the inquiry, aside from Its
convincing effect on the public mind.
Not Public Property.
1t is, indeed, an interesting incident.
suggestive Of the methods which have
marked this affair from the beginning,
that the three reports from the COM
mittee Of investigation never have been
made available for general public use.
They are not generally accessible even
today.
Congress, despite all delays, was de-
termined to act. The Democrats car
ried the lower house at the elections
last November, and this was a final
blow to the Ballinger cause. 1t became
apparent that there would be no delay,
after the Democrats came into control,
about dragging the whole affair into
the three reports. II was certain. too.
that the House would adopt an anti
Ballinger report, and polls Of the Sem
ate made It all but certain that
combination of insurgents and Demo-
Gratis would adopt the same report.
In these circumstances. the Admins
tration stood confronted with the pros
pect OF direct repudiation by both the
Democratic House and the Republican
Senate. There was nothing for 1t but
that Ballinger must go.
Times Announcement.
Early in February last. The Wash
ington Times made first announcement
that Secretary Ballinger would resign
Immediately after March 4. The state
ment was directly and positively de-
MED from both the Interior Department
and the White House; but on March 6,
none the less. Secretary Ballinger's
resignation, which had been in the
hands of the President for some days
before, was accepted and public an
nouncement made of the fact.
President Taft still stood strongly by
Ballinger. In accepting the resigna-
ton, he referred to Ballinger as the
victim of an unprincipled conspiracy.
The designations of Ballinger's lieu
tenants who had been associated with
him In the controversy, followed in
short order-Assistant Secretary Pierce.
Assistant Attorney General Lawler,
Chief Schwarts, of the field division.
The boot was now on the other leg, and
the Ballingerites were cleaned out with
the same rapidity that the followers of
Pinchot had, earlier. dropped their Of
fetal heads into the basket.

PROOF THAT FIGHT
ON ADMINISTRATION
WAS RIGHT '-P|NCHOT
Former Forester Gives Out
Statement on Coal
Lands Decision.

NEW YORK. June 26.-"The cancella-
tion of the Cunningham claims Is rroof.
given by the Administration itself, that
the fight made against II to prevent
coal monopoly in Alaska, was not sue
cessful. but necessary and right. This
cancellation means the cancellation Of
hundreds Of fraudulent. claims in Alas
ka."
This was tire statement Of Former
Forester Clifford Piuchot. when told Of
the cancellation Of the Cunningham
claims today.
Il have not yet seen the full text OF
the decision" continued Mr.. Pinchot
"It should result in saving the most
valuable coal fields still in Government
ownership for use Of the people. II
the fight had not been made, the Cum
ningham claims would have been pat
ented long ago. and by this time the
coal monopoly In Alaska would have
been an assured sact. The vigorous at
tempts made during the investigation
by counsel for the Department Of the
Interior TO show that the claims were
valid. leaves little doubt that they would
have been patented had the Admins
tration been allowed to proceed.
The fight. however, has not yet
fully won. II is still possible that a
secret order of last October by which
President Taft opened the harbor
front of Controller Bay, the natural
outlet for the coal to acquisition by
coal monopoly, through monopoly of
transportation. Now that these claims
are cancelled, the one imperative need
for Alaska Is an honest coal land law,
owing the coal to immediate develop
ment under lease from the Govern
ment.
"The passage of such a law was pre-
vented at the last session of Congress
by the failure of the Public Lands
Committee Of the House and Senate to
report bills honestly in the public
interest. / see no reason why the
passage of a coal leasing law should
wait until the next session of Con-
gress. 1t ought to be passed at once

Distribution of Typhoid
Bulletins Is Upheld

In a decision made public today, l..
P. Mitchell as acting Comptroller Of
the Treasury, confirmed the authority
Of the Public Health and Marine Hos
pital service, to print and distribute in
the District of Columbia, 400 copies of
Bulletin No. Is, dealing with the origin
and prevalence Of typhoid fever in this
city and its suburbs.
The Board of Commissioners request
ed Surgeon General Wyman to print
this bulletin for public distribution, Cen
eral Wyman was willing, but Secretary
of the Treasury MecVeagh doubted the
authority of the Public Health Bureau
to print such pamphlets for local dis
tribution.
In his decision, Acting Comptroller
Mitchell held that the act of Congress
making provision for the publication
of the public health bulletins left 1t
to the discretion of the surgeon general
as to what bulletins should be printed,
limiting the number to ten year.
There was no restriction, except that
they were to be in the interest Of the
public health.

GOVERNMENT FINDS
TRACE OF COMBINE
IN ENTRIES FILED
Decision Is That Each Loca-
tion Was Made With Un-
lawful Purpose" }

In the decision handed down today
on the Cunningham claims the Gov.
ernment finds:
''That the several locations, filings
and entries were made pursuant to
an understanding and agreement en-
tered into by all the claimants prior
to location, to combine the several
claims for the joint use and benefit
of all the claimants;
THAT each location. fling. and entry
was made with the unlawful purpose
and intent that the titles acquired
hereunder should inure to the use
and benefit of an association or q
corporation formed or to be formed
by the several claimants and
That no mine of coal was opened
or improved on any of the several
tracts located and entered"
1t is found that the claims of
Charles Sweeney and w. w. Baker,
members of the Cunningham group,
were defective so that they would
have been invalidated regardless of
the decision affecting the group gen
orally.
Five-Million Combine.
1t was shown that the Guggenheim
syndicate held a tentative option to A.
nance and take over the development
of the lands through S. 900 corpora
ton. This option was not ratified by
a majority of the claimants. but the
Guggenheims contended that it was
binding, and were prepared to sue to
enforce 1t If the claims were patented.
Secretary Fisher said today:
This is final decision of the Cum
ningham claims so far as the Depart
ment of the Interior is concerned. Any
further proceedings will be merely for
NAL for the purpose of perfecting the
record in case the claimants think there
are questions of law, which they de-
understanding that 1t is conceded that
the findings upon the facts by the de-
partment are conclusive.
ut is the intention Of the department
to proceed at once to a final determin-
alton of all the remaining Alaskan
coal claims, so far as this can properly
be done, denying those chat should be
denied and granting those that should
be granted as rapidly as possible.
Not Practicable.
IT do not believe the present laws
applicable to coal lands in Alaska are
wise or practicable laws. Nevertheless.
their provisions must be enforced, first,
because they are the law, and, second,
because they afford the only protection
to the public welfare against the abuses
of public monopoly and unrestricted
II sincerely trust that these laws will
be modified at the next session of
Congress- so as to permit the develop
ment of the Alaska coal fields under
provisions that will more adequately
protect and promote the public inter-
est. If, however, there are claims now
pending which, under the existing law,
are entitled to patent, I see no justifi-
cation for not taking action upon them
as promptly as the department can be
assured that II is in possession OF the
facts upon which such action must ul-
timately be taken"
