CUNNINGHAM COAL
CLAIMS IN ALASKA
ARE DISALLOWED
Secretary of the Interior Wal
ter Fisher Balks Morgan-
Guggenheim Plan to Control
Invaluable Coal Fields
WASHINGTON. June M-The famous
Cunningham Alaskan coal land claims,
through which It has been alleged that
the Morgan-Guggenhclm syndicate had
planned to extend their vast Interests in
Alaska and to control one of the most
valuable coal fields In the world, were
today finally disallowed by the depart
ment of the Interior.
Secretary of the Interior Walter Fisher
having approved the department's de
cision as handed down by Fred Den
nett. commissioner of the land office, the
last door is believed to have been closed
to the Cunningham claimants. Their
attorneys have threatened an appeal to
the United States supreme court, but
such an appeal can be based only on
some point of law Involved and not on
the finds of fact as announced by the
department.
« The Cunningham claims have been in
the public eye constantly for more than
two years past. They brought about the
Wsßiiiger-Plnchot investigation by com
grees and the dismissal from the public
service of Chief Forrester Gifford Pfn
chot, Louis R. Glavis, a chief of field
division in th* land office, and several
minor officials.
Both Messrs Pinchot and Glavis were
dismissed for insubordination incident to
their attacks on former Secretary Ballin
ger. whom they claimed was favorably
disposed toward the claims.
WHAT FISHER SATS.
In announcing the decision of the de
partment today. Secretary Fisher, who
succeeded Mr. Ballinger in March last.
D declared that new coal land laws are
Ep. needed in Alaska if that territory is to
be developed properly. In a statement
the secretary said:
“This is a final decision of the Cunning
ham claims so far as the department of
the interior Is concerned. Any further
proceedings will be merely formal for
the purpose of perfecting the record in
case the claimants think there are ques
tions of law which they desire to pre
sent to the courts. It is my understand
ing that it is conceded that the findings
upon the facts by the department /re
conclusive
“ft is the intention of the department
to proceed at once to a final determina
tion of an the remaining Alaskan coal
claims so far as this can properly be
done, denying those that should be de
nied. and granting those that should be
granted as rapidly as possible.
“I do not beKeve ths present laws ap
pUcabl».<o coal lands tn Alaska are wise
and practicable laws. Nevertheless, the
provisions must be enforcer, first be
cause they are the law. and second, be
cause they afford the only protection the
public welfare has against the abuses
of monopoly and unrestricted private ex
plottatlons I scarcely trust that these
laws will be modified at the next session
of congress so as to permit the develop
ment of the Alaskan coal fields under
provisions that will more adequately pro
tect and promote the public interests. If.
however, there are claims now pending
which, under the existing law are enti
tled to patent, I see no Justification for
not taking action upon them as promptly
as the department can be assured that
it is in possession of the facts upon
which such action ultimately be taken.’*
Cbmmisioner Dennett, in his decision
holding the claims for cancellation on
the ground of fraud, declares that each
of the $3 entries was improperly allowed
because of fatal defects apparent on
their face.
LAW WAS VIOLATED.
He asserts that the government con
clusively established the charges brought
against the claimants and that there is
no doubt that an agreement existed
among them in violation of law.
The S 3 claims involved amounted to
an aggregate area of 5.250 acres. The
value of the land has been estimated high
In the millions. The coal embraced In
the claims IS said to be among the finest
tn the world.
Commlsloner Dennett makes frequent
reference to the work of Glavis in prose
cuting the government's case against the
Cunningham claimants. He also refers at
Ungth to the negotiations between Cun
ningham and representatives of the Gug
• genhelms, who were shown at the Bal
linger-Pine hot hearing to have taken an
option on these coal lands, which were to
be worked in connection with the other
executive Guggenheim interests in Alas
ka.
PRESIDENT DUCKWORTH PLANS

(Special Diepatch to The Journal.)
UNION CITT, Oa., June 24.—With the
arrival here of President R. F. Duck
worth. the new chief executive of the
Georgia division of the Farmers’ Educa
tional and Co-operative Union, plans have
been announced for one of the greatest
campaigns for education and the mutual
benefit of the farmers that has ever been
witnessed in the annals of the Georgia
division since it was organized tn Thom
as! on in 1906 It is one of the peculiar
incidents of the Georgia division that the
man who was pract'cally the father of
the Georgia division, should be the one
who will have the direct supervision of
the plans that will mean so much to the
future achievement of the organization.
President Duckworth, soon after he
<-ame to Georgia as an organizer from
Texas, laid the foundation for the Geor
gia division and organized It tn 1906. Now
five year B later he is to be the promul
gator of plans that will carry out the
purposes of the association which he as
sisted in creating.

state and the south.
In his speech before the banquet that
was given at Fitzgerald tn* night before
the adjournment of the union’s conven

COURT ISSUES RULE
FOR LABOR LEADERS
IN CONTEMPT CASES
Leaders of American Federa
tion of Labor Ordered to
Show Why They Are Not in
Contempt of Court
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. June 26 —Justice Dan
iel T. Wright, of the district supreme
court, today issued a rule against Sam
uel Gompera, Frank Morrison and John
Mitchell, the labor leaders, requiring
them to show cause on July 17 why they
should not be judged guilty of con
tempt of court. .
This action followed the filing of the
report of the special committee of attor
neys appointed by Justice Wright to in
quire into matter of contempt proceed
ings in the Bucks Stove and Rapge boy
cott case.
Mr. Gompers is president, Mr. Morri
son secretary, and Mr. Mitchell vice pres
ident of the American Federation of La
bor.
The contempt proceedings against the
labor leaders recently were passed upon
by the United States supreme court,
which set aside Jail sentences heretofore
imposed by Justice Wright. The supreme
court held that the contempt on which
Justice Wright formerly passed was of
a civil nature and against the Bucks
Stove and Range company.
In dismissing the former proceeding,
however, the supreme court gave to the
district court a right to reopen the
case in the event that any contempt of
the court itself or its orders should be
found.
In as much as the stove company and
the American Federation of Labor had
adjusted their differences, it was not
supposed that the matter would be pur
sued further. But the day following the
decision, Justice Wright immediately or
dered an investigation with a view of
looking to further contempt* action
agalnkt the labor men.
He appointed a committee of three law
years to Inquire into all the circum
stances of the case and to determine
whether or not there had been a con
tempt of the court Itself. This commit
tee consisted of J. J. Darlington, Daniel
Davenport and James M. Breck.
Samuel Gompers, In a statement, at
once questioned the fairness of an in
quiry by these gentlemen, in as much
aa they all had been associated as coun
sel for the stove company against the
federation.

BT MALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, June 24.—Thanks to

SPRECKELSTfIKEfSTAND
IN SUGAR TRUST INQUIRY
Californian Tells of Relations
Between California Interests
and the Trust
WASHINGTON, June 26.—The story
of the relation of the California cane
and beet sugar interests with the
American Sugar Refining Company, the
so-called “sugar trust’* was told before
the house sugar Investigating commit
tee today by John D. Spreckles, of San
Francisco.
Mr. Spreckles represented the West
ern Sugar Refining company of Cali
fornia, a cane sugar 'enterprise, and the
Spreckles Sugar company, a beet sugar
plant. He was formerly connected
with the Spreckles-Philadelphla sugai
plant, sold to the American Sugar Re
fining company in the nineties.
In expectancy of the appearance of
Joseph F. Smith, president of the Mor
mon church and head of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company, a large number of
women were present at today’s hear
ing.
Mr. Smith, however, was not called as
a witness. It was stated that he probably
would not testify until tomorrow, Doug
las Campbell, of New York, as counsel
for the Western Sugar Refining company,
the California Sugar Refining company
and the Spreckles Beet, Sugar company,
now defendants in a government anti
trust proceeding in New York, protested
i against Mr, Spreckles answering ques
j tlops prejudicial to the case in oourt.
: Chairman Hardwick ruled that the com
mittee had full power to question the
witness, but that his constitutional rights
would be protected.
Mr. Spreckles told the committee that
his company in 1908 entered into an
agreement with the California and Ha
waian Sugar company closing down the
latter’s sugar factory and keeping it out
of the cane augar market for three
i years.
Mr. Spreckles said counsel assured him
1 the transaction was .entirely legal.
“Then you had some doubt whether it
was a violation of the Sherman antl-
I trust law.” suggested Chairman Hard
> wick.
I ”1 wanted to be sure.”
The Callfornia-Hawaian company, he
; said, had lost about $600,000 the year be-
I fore. They had heavy raw sugar hold
i Ings In Hawaii and wanted to close down
j their plant.

campaigns for the eradication of the
cattle tick and hog cholera and for the
scientific building of good roads in Geor
gia have been inaugurated by the Geor
gia division of the Farmers’ Educational
and Co-operative union.
Committees, which were appointed at
the recent Fitzgerald convention, have
in their reports, asked for state appro
priations to combat bog cholera and the
cattle tick. The legislature is asked to
appropriate from $5,000 to SIO,OOO for the
equipment of the State College of Agri
culture to fight hog cholera, while $5,-
000 per annum is asked for the war on the
cattle tick.
The building of good roads is most
strongly urged. The resolution on good
roads follows:
GOOD ROADS URGED.
Resolved, That the State Union of
Georgia express itself as heartily in
favor of good roads; that these
roads be built of the best material avail
able, in the most economical scientific
manner, to and from the most convenient
and desirable points for farmers, and
that the authorities In charge of same
in each and every county of Georgia
keep constantly before them In the con
struction of such roads the highest,
broadest and best development of the
agricultural interest of our state.
The following is the resolution for
the eradication of the cattle tick:
Whereas, It is recognized that the
common cattle tick (margaropus annula
tus) is the carrier of the disease called
Texas fever or tick fever of cattle, and
said tick is a source of constant loss
and a serious menace to the health and
thrift of all cattle in the state;
And whereas, It has been demonstrated
that said cattle tick can be controlled
and eradicated by simple methods and
at comparatively small cost per mili
tia district or county;
And whereas, it has been found that
the funds now available for control of

GEORGIA SOLONS TO
CONVENE WEDNESDAY
FDR BUSY SESSION
Will Elect U. S. Senator, Fight
on Prohibition Question, Act
on Plaza Bill, and Permit
Abolishment of J. P.’s
The Georgia state legislature of 1911-
12 will convene and organize on Wednes
day for an evjntful session.
In addition to the election of offeers ‘
of the general assembly and of a suc
cessor to the late United States Senator ’
A. S. Clay, the impression is becoming'
stronger that a phase of the prohibition l
question will be fought out before the!
legislature and that this will be one of.
the most interesting matters that the'
general assembly will consider.
The Intentions of neither prohibitionists I !
nor anti-prohibitionists are distinctly.
known, but it is believed that the former |
will endeavor to prohibit the sale of
“near-beer,” while the latter may try to | |
substitute local option for’state-wide pro
hibition.
No definite announcement has been
made by either side of what it intends to |
do, but indications are that each will
endeavor to have important changes made |
in the prohibition statutes, and that the
legislature will seethe for a while with •
the question of prohibition.
LOCAL LEGISLATION
Among local> legislation for which an
effort will be made, will be the enactment j
of a bill providing for the Atlanta plaxa;
to connect the bridges from Fo - syth L
street to Washington street, and amthef'
authorizing bridges over the railroad j
tracks at either Pryor street or Central -
avenue, or both.
The entire Fulton county delegation in
the legislature will introduce the plaza |
bill and urge Its adoption. A joint com- '
mlttee from the chamber of commerce I
and cltj? council has been appointed to
advocate this bill and, among other,
things, has addressed letters to all tnem*
bers of the legislature, requesting their
support of the bill.
The phase of the bill that will be
stressed will be the revenue it will se
cure to the state through the terminal
station and office building that will be a
part of the plaza. This building will
bring in to the state $270,000 a year.
Representative Walter McElreatli will
present the bill for bridges over the
state railroad right of way at the
Pryor street and Central avenue cross
ings. They will provide either that the
railroad tracks be depressel sufficiently
for the bridges to maintain the present
grades on Pryor street and Central ave
nue, or that the grades on these streets
and Wall street be elevated and the
bridges be made of the same height as
the bridges on Whitehall, Broad and For
syth streets. The • change In grades is j
more probable than the depression Os the.”
railroad tracks. The construction of two
bridges and the elevation of the grade
would cost about $388,060.
BILL AGAINST JUSTICES
Another measure that has a local or
igin, though it will apply to the entire
state, is a bill providing that the con
stitution of the state be so amended that
all large cities may vote on the question
of abolishing Justice courts. This amend
ment. is is said, is not aimed at Justices
in the country, but merely those it. the
cities. The members of a committee from
the Atlanta Bar association, acting with
representatives from Fulton county, are
drawing up this bill.
Another question that particularly af
fects Atlanta will be the action the leg
islature takes in regard to a new gov- i
ernor’s mansion. A subcommittee of the
legislature recently recommended that the
o mansion be leased to B. M. Grant, ov
Atlanta, for 99 years, for about $20,100 a
year. Thi s subcommittee will on Mon- _J
day submit its recommendation to the full ....
committee. The action of this commit
tee will determine what recommendation
will be made to the legislature.
When the general assembly organises. <( ’
it is understood that John M. Slaton, of I
Atlanta, will be re-elected president of *
the senate and that John N. Holder, <ff
Jackson county, will be re-elected speak
er of the house. Mr. Holder, howevsr, is
being opposed by Judge H. W. Hoiking, ' '
of Thomas. Representative Vinson, of
Baldwin, and Representative Tarver, of
Whitfield, are announced candidates for
speaker pro tem.
GOVERNORS’ MESSAGES
After organization, the legislature will
notify Governor Brown that it is eady
for business and he will transmit his
message to both houses. He has given
out no forecast of what his message will
be, but it is understood that he will again
recommend that the control of munici
pal public service corporations be taken
out of the hands of tha state ra.lroad
commission, or that the state election
laws be changed. He will emphasize hia
belief that the pardoning power should
be used with much discretion.
Governor-elect Hoke Smith will be in
augurated on July 1. On Jaly 40r5 he |
will send his message to the legislature.
Plans for bis inauguration will be decided '
after the legislature has met.
In his message Governor Smith will
u»-ge the improvement of agriculture.! ed
ucation and of methods of farming. He
will recommend that the state co-operate
with the government in a soil survey,
and he will urge the need of improve
ment in agricultural lines in the rural
schools. - '
