CUNNINGHAM |S
 DENIED NEW HEARING

An echo of the famous Cunningham coal land case was heard when the United States land office at Juneau re- ceived notice from the Commissioner of the General land office that the mo- ton of the Cunningham claimants for a re-hearing, had been denied.
 The Cunningham claims in the Be ring river district were located in 1903 04 by Clarence Cunningham and asso- ciates, among whom was Nate Mul- len of Juneau. Application for patent was made in 1907, when the claim ants paid in the purchase price on the thirty-three claims in the group, each of which having had 16O acres of ground contained in it's borders.
 It was then that Louis R. Glavis, then head of the field division of the general land office, made his charges that the Cunningham claimants were serving the Guggenheim interests as dummy locators." A hearing was held in 1910, Glavis meanwhile retir- ing in the nationwide scandal that stirred Washington to great excite ment.

ENGLAND DENIES OPENING MAIL
 OF GERMANS

THE HAGUE. Jan. 11-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press)-The Nieuwe Courant of this city has been given a rather surprising and wholly unexpected reply to a challenge it made to the Frankfurter Zeitung to produce proof of it's assertion that Dutch mails were being inspected by English agents.
 It was thought at the time that the Frankfurter zeitung would not be able to produce anything resembling proof of this serious charge, but in the Illustrated section of it's edition of December 18th, which just arrived here, the German paper shows what it asserts is the reproduction of letter, which, carrying the following address: Frau Helene Colsman, Zeppelin Worke. Friedrichshafen, Bodensee," had been opened by the British cen sors, and had after that found it's way to the addressess. That the letter was mailed in Holland is shown by the cancellation stamp. In addition the back fo the envelope carries in English legend: Undeliverable-L. P. S." Uetter post service) and across the edge cut open by the censor, the customary strip of paper with the in- scription: Opened by Censor" had been pasted.
 Commenting upon the matter the Nieuwe Courant says:
 We understand perfectly why this remarkable accident should have aroused the suspicious of the Ger man newspaper, all the more when We consider that the words Zeppelin works occur in the address. The German version of the affair-as we gather from a communication we have received-is that through the agency of bribed Dutch postal officials 'sus- picious' letters reach English hands. But in that case it is impossible to understand how the letter, after a month, reached the addressee at Friedrichshafen. It is not likely that the English would be foolish enough to again forward letter so treated no matter haw harmless it's contents.
 But our correspondent meets thiss argument by saying that finally the letter had reached it's destination by mistake.
 'It Is more probable that the letter was sent to England by mistake that it got in the wrong mail bag. But 1t is unfortunate that just this one had to bear the address: Zeppelin Works
 "That a similar case occurred in the Danish mail proves in itself nothing. A Vienna professor wrote to the Frankfurter Zeitung that a letter he received on October p and which had been mailed in Copenhagen on Sep
