duce no facts in substantiatiOn of the
insinuation that the price paid Mr..
Harding for the property covered a
sinister DEAL His speech, be said, was
based on the whisperings of New York
acquaintance, not one Of whom, how
ever would he name to the committee.
The purchasers of the Star submit
I'd statement pertaining to the pur-

ALASKA COAL
PLOT CHARGED
Seattle Man Tells Coolidge
Terms of Transfer Were
Like Dome Affair.

Washington.-Initi steps toward
q possible senate inquiry into the long
fought Alaskan coal controversy were
begun after John e. Ballaine of Seat
tie, an Alaskan railroad constructor,
had presented to President Coolidge
charges respecting the transfer of the
Matanuska coal reserve from the Navy
to the Department Of the Interior
Mr.. Ballaine, in a lengthy letter to
the President, declared examination
of official files would show that for
mer Secretary Fall and Secretary Den
by in July, 1921, four months after
they had taken Office, began negotia-
lions for the transfer of the Alaskan
coal reserve from the Navy to the
Interior department and for the leas-
ing of that reserve for period Of
fifty years.
The negotiations and the terms
agreed upon, Mr.. Ballaine asserted,
iran along lines exactly parallel with
the negotiations and the terms of the
lease of the Teapot Dome oil reserve"
He charged that powerful interests
are hindering Alaskan development.
The Alaskan railroad man ex-
planned that the lease was never con-
summated, but declared that the De
partment of the Interior upon taking
over mining operations in the Malta
nuska field suspended mining opera
tions, and that the Navy department
had refused to utilize Alaskan coal
on the Pacific coast, although It had
been shown to be cheaper and better,
he said
Senator LaFollette (Rep, Wis., in
troduced a resolution paving the way
for an investigation into the charges
made by John E. Ballaine, an Alaskan
railroad constructor, that former Sec
rotary of the Interior Fall and Secre-
tary of the Navy DENLY entered into
negotiations seeking to transfer and
lease valuable coal reserve lands In
Alaska along the same lines of the
Teapot Dome transaction.
