Final Argument
in the Cunningham
Coal Land Claims i
I Attorneys for Claimants Appear Be
fore Secretary Fisher and Board
of Land Keview.
"Til""
! WASHINGTON, .vu. 8.-After hating
l?een out of the public eye for ome time.
the Cunningham Alaskan coal land claim.
which bi ought about the Ballinger-Plnehot
congressional Investteatlon hei ause of
cha! 808 bv o"'" Clavis. a former field
arnt of the land office, today approached
their determination. Attorneys for the
Cunningham claimants appeared to argue
their case before Secretary of the Interior
F.sher. Ijvnd Commissioner Ilennett and
membera of the board of law review of the
reraj lnnd office. It wn expected the
hearing would be concluded tomorrow.
E. C. Hughea of Seattle and John P.
Gray of Wallace. Idaho, are representing
the claimants.
Commissioner rennett Is charged with
l handing down the decision. Secretary
others.
Opposition to tho final granting of the
claims was due to tho charge that there
was a conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment. G'.avls who wrote to President Taft.
charging former Pecretrary Ralllnger with
maladministration of the public land law?,
started hie fight against the Cunningham
claims early In 1!0S. He asserted that
through an asignment of the Cunningham
claims "the Uuggenhetms" were about to
be given a monopoly of Alaskan coal.
The Balllnger-Pinchot committee filed
two reports, the majority cxonerating.Sec
retary Hallinger and the minority sustain
ing to a large degree the allegations made j
by Glavls. The majority did not pass on
the merits of the claims.
The hearing starting today before Com
missioner Dennett will probably decide
whether the Cunningham claimants shall
be granted patenta to their coal lands or
whether these lands shall revert to the
public domain for future entry.
Mr. Hughes, arguing for the claimants,
asserted that as they had paid the pur
chase price of the land and held receipts
from the government for the money, tU
waa equivalent to the actual delivery of
patent rights. According to the Alaskan
coal land law of 1904, which he declared
was complete In Itself, as soon as a
claimant had staked off his land and had
entered' it in. the register's office he had
a right to make contracts to. sell such
land, provided the claimant waa not legally
disqualified. ,
Asked by Secretary Fisher whether he
bad read the brief presented In behalf of
Gifford Plnchot In connection with, the
charges In the case, Mr. Hughe declared
that this brief was only partly correct- He
did not .believe there bad been Intentional
deceit, but asserted that the farts had
been shuffled. He did not explain in what
particular the brief was only partly correct.

Loss from fire at Creighton university
Monday morning Is placed at close to S7B,0iO
by Rev. W. F. Dooley, vice preeldent of
the Institution.
The damage to the building la placed at
$51,000. while the loss Incurred . from the
effects of the wster and flra on the con
tents of the building will approximate
$2.i,000.
Classes were abandoned for - Monday,
but beginning Tuesday morning they will
be resumed at, usual, as the first and sea
ond floors, it Is thought, will then bs dry
and safe enough to permit recitations In
them. The third floor will be untenable
for some time.
The cause of the fire la yet undetermined.
Father William F. Rigge, head of the
natural science department, advances tbe
theory that the flames may have been
started by a stroke of lightning entering
the building through an electric lighting
transformer.'
The loss Incurred by the fire Is fully cov
ered by Insurance.
Loss In the physics laboratory will
amount to SlS.On. Water soak In a? through
from the third floor where the fire damage
Has confined is ruining the ceilings of the

the tower and worked downward. The fire
invaded the lower floors only in the region
of the elevator shafts. The fire damage
below Is trifling.
Twenty-seven members of ths fsculty,
who reside In the building, were driven
from their beds In their nightclothes.

Lansdowne's Bill
For Reform of Lords
Bill Favored by the Peers Provides for
Smaller Chamber Divided Into
Three Classes.
LONDON, May 8. -Lord Lansdowtie,
leader of the opposition of the House of
Lords, today Introduced his bill for tbe
reform of the upper house.
The unionists, he said, proposed a house
to consist of SuO lords of Parliament.
No peer should hold his seat for more
than twelve years, but they would "be
eligible for re-election. The peers them
selves would elect 109 membera of the peer
age possessing the statutory qualifications.
A second contingent would consist of 130
members to be elected from outside the
House of Lords.
The third section of the house numbering
100, would be appointed by the crown on
the recommendation of the cabinet. Prlncea
of the royal blood would retain their seats,
as also would two archbishops while five
bishops would be elected.
Viscount Morley, who Immedlstely fol
lowed Lansdowne, threw cold water on the
plan. He said the government could not
accept the proposals as a solution of the
difficulty.
Tbe bill passed Ita first reading.

PROTEST OYER RECIPROCITY
Book Paper Makers and Farmers Are
Before Finance Committee.
BACHELDER TALKS FOR GRANGERS
Ex-Governor of New Hampshire Saya
American Farmers Are Taxed
Mach Higher Than the
Canadians.
WASHINGTON, May 1-Protests of
book paper manufacturers against Ca
nadian reciprocity were made to the sen
ate finance ' committee which resumed
hearings on the agreement today.
George Sullivan, representing a Phila
delphia company, asserted that because
of the vast wood supply and cheap water
power in Canada, coupled with advan
tages In the duty on raw material, Ca
nadian book paper manufacturers could
make their product at ST a ton less than 1
Americans. He declared the agreement
would put. the American book" paper manu
facturers out of business.
, Mr. ' Pullivan said there were forty-six
book .paper mills in tbe United States with
30,000 employes. The only book paper Amer
icans export Is Bible paper:
Representatives of the farmers of thir
teen or fourteen states followed the book
paper manufacturers In protest against
the bill. Ex-Governor N. J. Bachelder,
of New Hampshire, master of the Na
tional grange, denounced the bill as
a violation of the pledge of the republican
platform of 1908 to maintain protection
to the country's Industries equal to the
difference In the cost of production at
home and abroad.
Ex-Governor Bachelder presented tables
to show that articles used by the Ameri
can farmer bore an average tariff tax
of from 20 to 33 per cent more than that
paid by the Canadian farmer. He con
cluded from thla that the American
farmer could not compete with tbe Ca
nadian on an equal-' basts.
Illinois Graaarer Talks.
Robert Eaton, master of the Illinois
state grange, and W. N. Giles, secretary
of the New York state grange, both
warned congresa against discriminating
against the farmers.
"Lower the tariff -equally if too high."
said Mr. Gilea, "but don't discriminate
against the farmer. We are going to
hold somebody responsible If this bill
passes."
"That will be the president for he ne
gotiated the treaty," suggested Senator
Bailey.
"How about senators who voted for it?"
interjected Senator Gallinger.
"I would not like to be president I
don't expect to be" retorted Mr. Giles,
"and I would not like to be a senator who
had to go to the farmers and say he had
been willing to sacrifice the farmers in this
matter."
Al Ralne. master of the Missouri state
grange, and Prof. T. C. Atkinson, of
Morgantown, W. Vs., also spoke In oppo
sition to the measure
Now that the I'nlted States promises
to; become an Importer of farm products.
Prof. Atkinson said, the farmer should
be permitted to retain a protection on his
products.
In closing Prof. Atkinson arraigned the
fertiliser "trust" The hearing will ba
