the scheme and made its success on the
timber claims Of the southern tier,
claims which possessed but little value
as compared with the othcrsi IF there
was no prior agreement, would Clarence
Cunningham, in April, 1907, before
many of the certificates were issued,
have entered into negotiations with the
Guggenheims looking to the disposition
of the combined properties2

Lands Worth Millions.


amounted TO an aggregate area of $3.50
acres. The value of the land has been
estimated high In the millions. The
coal embraced in the claims is said to
be among the finest in the world.
Commissioner bennett makes the
frequent reference to the work of
CLAWS in prosecuting the government Is
case against the Cunningham claim
ants He also refers at length to the
agreements between Cunningham and
representatives of Guggenheim, who
were shown at the Ballinger Pinchot
hearing to have taken an option on
these coal lands, which were to be
worked in connection with the other
extensive Guggenheim interests in
Alaska
The government charged against
Cunningham and his associates that
their entries of the coal lands were
made in pursuance of an understanding
and agreement entered into by all the
claimants prior to location, to combine
the several claims for the joint use
and benefit of all. It was further
claimed that the entry was made with
the unlawful purpose that they should
inure to the use and benefit Of an as
sociatlon or corporation.
After reviewing all the facts brought
out at the various trials and hearings
in the cases extending over a period of
several years and including the final
hearing recently attended by Secretary
Fisher himself, Commissioner bennett
reached the conclusion that the claims
had no legal standing and ordered them
Cancelled. Secretary Fisher promptly
approved this finding. although to com.
plete the record he must do so formally
upon appeal to him.

Original Agreement.

The original agreement with the Gug
genheims contemplated the formation
of corporation as soon as the titles
were secured. This plan gave the Gug-
genheims the right to mine the coal on
royalty basis. The Guggenheims were
also to build railroad from the mines
to the coast, As finally entered into
the agreement with the Guggenheims
for a sale aroused serious objections
from several claimants
1.-The fact, says Commissioner Den
nett, Fthat 1t was reported to the
Guggenheims that there were thirty
three independent claimants TO be reck-
oned with in no wise Strengthens the
defense. 1t is not to be supposed that
any sane men representing these entry
men as committee would suggest to
a prospective purchaser of the property
that the claims were Illegal and the
several entries subject to forfeiture.
"That all the work so far done was
paid for from the common fund is not
denied. 1t is admitted by the claim
ants and frankly stated in tho brief Of
their counsel that one claim Of 100 acres
cannot be proftably worked that some
time and somehow the claims must be
operated together Is it reasonable TO
suppose that business men would agree
to the common investment Of their

the several claims should be operated

a persistent effort, beginning tomor-
row, to advance the Canadian reci-
procity bill in the senate by getting
unanimous consent to fix a definite time
for a vote, and on separate dates for
n vote on the public wool and free list
bills, will be made by Chairman Pen
rose of the senate finance committee,
With the Root amendment to the
wood pulp and print paper schedule of
the bill disposed of to his satisfaction,
Mr.. Penrose, after canvass of the
senate, announced his plan had met
with more encouragement than he an
ticipated.
The standpatters made little or no
objection and the Democrats none, but
the insurgent Republicans were not
agreeable to the proposition. They
want time to present the issues fully
to the country and to the senate.
The announcement that such n
staunch standpatter as the chairman of
the finance committee was willing TO
take the chances on n vote on tariff
measures created surprise, but it is
known that he is willing to permit a
test on the tariff. There is some appre-
hension among Republican senators that
the wool bill might pass If vote
should he reached. but they seem as
sured that in the event of such con-
tingency, the president would veto the
measure under his promise to postpone
ali tariff legislation until u report can
be received from the tariff board.

Means to an End.

"Carrying into effect the purpose OF
acquiring this coal field for the com,
mon use and benefit of the members or
the association, claims were located
and entries made in the names of the
individuals, but the making of these To-
cutions and entries in the manner in
dicated were means to an end. and the
names of the individuals were used
only to effect colorable compliance
with the law.
"They exercised no choice in the Sc
lection of their claims, manifested no
interest in their individual values, and
Except perhaps Baker) sought no in
formation as TO their respective loca-
tions. The field jointly acquired by all
of them and explored at the common
expense was the only object of their
sohcitude. -

Claimants Prominent.

Among the Cunningham claimants
are n number Of the prominent men OF
the northwest. Commissioner bennett
refers to them as having sufficient
means TO have carried forward exten-
sive coal operation In Alaska. The va
rious claimants were interested in the
Alaskan coal situation in 1902 by
Clarence Cunningham, who made the
various filings and conducted most of
the negotiations. The claims once were
clear listed for patent. but final action
was held up Mt the request OF CLAWS.
''There seems to be no Doubt said
Commissioner bennett in his decision,
"that in the beginning the partici-
pants were subscribers for joint inter
ests and not owners of separate claims
and that the substantial character of
the transaction never changed. In
1905 they were still 'co-owners' of q
single property, although in order to
acquire it each particular claim had
been allotted to a particular individual
and had been entered by him in his
name, -

Says Facts Are Plain.

"a further discussion Of the facts is
not necessary. They speak for them,
selves, and speak plainly. There was
not at any time single act performed
that connected any claimant with the
precise tract he claimed TO locate. There
was not n dollar spent by any locator
individually or by agent on land he
cleared, but acts done and each dollar
disbursed were for the purpose of de-
termining whether the field as whole
contained workable deposits of coal.
''Prior to the hearing eighteen Of
the claimants admitted under the SOL
emn sanctity Of an oath that they pro,
ceeded from the beginning with the
understanding that when the patents
were secured they would form com
pany for the development of the prop
erty.

quire coal field at joint expense 10 be
developed for the common benefit.
There was not Mt any time departure
from this original compact save the
substitution Of the salary to Cunning

tended to secure in the several claims.

ID UNITE HOMES OF
 LINCOLN AND l! DAVIS
U. C. V. AND G. A. R. PROPOSE TO CONNECT THE KENTUCKY BIRTHPLACES OF THE TWO LEADERS WITH FINE RAOD

A plan has been inaugurated among the veterans of both the Confederate and Union armies to have the birthplaces of Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln united by means of fine public high way. The birthplace of President Davis was at Fairview. Todd county, Kentucky, and that of Lincoln was in Larue coun- ty, being separated by a distance of about 12O miles.
 A local committee has been appointed by Camp Hardee, United Confederate Veterans. to take up the matter, fol- lowing communications recently received from comrades in Louisville, Ky. Those who are on the committee are Maj T. A. Hamilton, Gen. A. c. Oxford, Gen. John w. Bush and Adjt. J. Lawler Dar- by. who will straightway make an inves- tigation into the proposition and report back with the result to the camp.
 The idea of the veterans on both sides Is to join these two famous spots by means of a great public highway, and then turn the historic doniciles over into the hands of the government for pres ervation. The action on the part of the local camp was taken at meeting yes- terday which was largely attended.
 The meeting yesterday afternoon was presided over by Commander N. A. Gra- ham and the exercises opened with pray CT by Chaplain E. A. Wright. In addl- ton to discussing the proposed scheme for connecting the birthplaces of Davis and Lincoln, the members heard the final lecture of a series that has been given by J. F. Mclaughlin on 'Stonewall Jack sons Campaign in the Shenandoah Val ley, Virginia, in the Vicinity of liar per's Ferry" The lectures have proven interesting in the extreme.
