WHEELER D|SCLOSES GIGANTIC EXPLOIT
 SCHEME IN ALASKA
HAEELER HARpS THAT SECRET PACT DOES EXIST WITH
 R. R. FREIGHT RATES
DOCUMENTS CONCEALED
Holding Positive Proof of Document In Hand, Wheeler Shows Audi
 ence Works Name on Line

SEATTLE, Oct 9.-A secret agree ment exists between the Alaska 5. S.. company, (Guggenheim interests) and the Government owned Alaska Rail- road, Senator Burton K. Wheeler charged in his speech at the Mason ic Temple here last night.
 This agreement, he alleged, Secre- tary of the Interior Work had for a year and one-half and attempted to conceal it. Attorney General John A. Rustgard of Alaska, similarly had has been refused access to the doc uments, he said, and the contract car ried in its own text the provision, to wit: Tt is understood that the Al |aska Engineering Commission and Steamship company parties to the thru rate will treat division arrange ments as confidential and promulgate the information to interested employees only"
 Linking Secretary Work with Ex- Secretary of the Interior Fall and Ex- Attorney General Daugherty, Wheeler charged that the engagement is am- pie evidence of secret with a most gigantic exploit of the nation in an attempt to deliver all limitless re sources of Alaska into their hands.
 Holding copy of the contract, the defiant Senator brandished in his au- diesce and declared, "here is docu- tmentary proof over the signature of Secretary of the Interior Work, who is in the Coolidge cabinet at the pres ent time. He is secretary of the h. terior department of the United States and he is in secret league with J. IF. Morgan and company, and their aims are to control and exploit the vast wealth of Alaska for an exclu- sive advantage of the companies of U. P. Morgan and Co.,"
 Tt is link in the chain of proof that connects J. F. Morgan and com pany with secret control over our governmental agencies in every ave nue that deals with our national re- sources which are in eve " state of the Union,' he said.
 A special rate of six dollars a ton was established in Alaska from Ne mana to Seward, applying only to the ore coming from the many mines own led by the Morgans and Guggenheims, Wheeler charged, and everybody else paid base of $44.0O per ton for the same haul, which was for all classes of freight. He said that this is one benefit obtained by the secret agree ment.
 Senator Wheeler also charged Pres Iident Coolidge is controlled by banks land that while he was governor of the state of Massachusetts,, he was la party to the juggling of state funds land also party to help bolster up an insolvent concern, whose president lit is alleged, contributed $60O0 to- wards the personal help of Coolidge $ campaign for presidency.

SEATTLE, Wn., Oct. 10.-E. F. Stannard, who is in this city having returned from Alaska from an inspec- tion trip issued a denial thru his New York office of the Wheeler charges, respecting alleged secret pacts between the Alaska Steamship company and the Alaska Railroad.
 Stannard said that there is noth ing new in this general misstatement of facts and it is presumed that Sen ator Wheeler has been misled by John E. Ballains into publicly making these charges. Ballaine, who is the LaFollette-W Wheeler chairman in this state did not deny that he had given Senator Wheeler the information upon which the charges were based. Bal laine also said that he had turned over to Wheeler copy of the alleged secret contract itself, and had furn- ished him with proof that it was secret.
