Hotel Loyal Bldg, NO WISH TO COBBLE ALASKA Representatives of Morgan-Ouygen-heim Syndicate , Deny Charge. SINGLE ROAD AND COPPEE MINE Oeaeral Counsel Steele nad Managing Director Birch Testify Before Senate Committer Main tained Nri Lobby. WASHINGTON, Feb. H.-The Interesting spectacle of the Morgan-Guggenheim syn dicate, through' legal representatives ap pearing before a corgresslonal committee to Justify Its operations In the development of Industries In Alaska, todsy packed tha room of tha senate (committee on terri tories. It waa denied that tha syndicate had a monopoly of any Industrial Interest. Senator BeVrrldge recently received a letter from J. P. Morgan tt Co., asking permission to send representatives to ans wer "exaggerated reports printed In the magazines and newspapers of the work of the syndicate formed by that company and the MesSrS. Guggenheim." Tha permission was given and today John N. Steele, gen eral counsel for the syndicate, and Stephen Birch, the: managing director, appeared. Mr. Birch was put on tha stand and hla story drawn out by Mr. Bteele. It resulted In testimony to tha effect that all ef the money spent tn tho enormous development Of Alaskan resources had been furnished by the syndicate Itself; that the Morgan Ouggenhlem syndicate had , not Issued a single bond or a share of stock; that the syndicate had never recvlved anything from the government tn the Way of money, grants of land or snoclal rights. Oveaa "Ingle Raalroad. It was testified further that the syndl eate owned one railroad and had no Inter est tn any other In Alaska; that It owned one copper mine and had no Interest In any other and owned ne coal lands at all. Testimony, was given about tha nego tiations for tha Cunningham claims, but It was said these hinged upon patents being issued for tha claims and that these nego tiations had eome to nothing. The railroad owned by the .syndicate Is now 10S miles long and Is to be extended to -199 miles. Both Messrs. Steele and Birch Insisted that thera was no truth In reports that tha syndicate had or was seeking a monop oly of railroads,' steamship lines, fisheries, copper mines and coal lands In -Alaska, They denied with great emphasis that they were trying to "gobble up Alaska" or that Delegate Wlckersham had ever been au thorised to ant as a lobbyist, for the syndi cate. ' Mr. Birch said that Messrs. Guggenheim had agreed to form a S5,000,000 corporation to develop the .lands; one-half Interest to be held by the Guggenhelms and tha other halt - by Cunningham and his associates. The Guggenhelma were to pay $250,000 for their half, he said, and In addition were to loan $100,000 If tt was needed. Messrs. Birch and Steele will be cross examined by the members of the eom rnlttco at another hearing. NEW YORK, Feb. 18. -Unqualified denial was given today at the-offlcee of J. P.

Mr. Vertrees explained sev eral of his long Questions today by the statement that he was searohlng out the motives o tthe witness to ascertain whether they' were Innocent or malicious. Counsel for Secretary Ballinser drew from the witness the fact that up to the time Mr. Balllnger went out of office as land commissioner In March, 1908, there had been no evidence of fraud In the Alaska coal cases presented to the department. The Cunningham "Journal," which con-' talned evidence of an alleged agreement, Glavls, said, had not been found at that time. However, the witness, declared that Mr. Balllnger, In hla opinion, had not acted as a man Would If the property had been his own instead of the government's. As to Mr. Balllnger's participation In the Wilson Coal company, Glavls admitted that he had no first-hand knowledge and that he testified merely from hearsay. . Strlaaa tit All Answers, Mf. Vertreea questioned the witness mors closely tKan aver' today. Mr. Vertrees protested to the committee that Glavls always "ties a string to his answers," and proceeded: 'I am trying to get at the purpose, the motive, the ' object-of tha wltneas, whether It la Innocent .or malicious." 31 0 La S49 and $4i 16 rr ti sMSSkSSWsssS J rraOTs r.',,:.'r;', iiaajiUi.Ajajia,. ima..i,UnU Wiiei' a a. sr Your choice of our entire remaining stock of Fall Suits Saturday at $9.75.
