CHARGES MADE AGAINST ROOSEVELT AND PINCHOT Of Blocking the Development of Alaska —Letter to President Taft. ‘Washington, Jan. 2.—Former Presi- dent Roosevelt and former Forester Gifford Pinchot are charged with blocking the development of Alaska in a letter sent to President Taft today by Falcon Joslin, an Alaskan capital- ist, to combat the arguments presented by’ Mr. Pinchot in his brief asking for the cancellation of the so-called Cun- ningham coal claims. Mr. Joslin is president of the Tanana Valley Railroad company and says he files his letter not in the interest of the Cunningham claimants or any other syndicate but as an expression of the people of Alaska regarding the zrant- ing of titles to coal lands. He de- clares that Mr. Pinchot's sole object in filing his brief was to embarrass and do injury to Secretary of the In terior Ballinger. He says the brief is full of misstatements, “so much so, in fact, that Mr. Pinchot st be aware of their untruthfulnes: He denies that the Cunningham claims are fraud- | ulent. Mr. Joslin declares that Mr. Roose- velt, when president, approved the act of 1904 relating to Alaskan coal lands. “Two years later,” he says, “Mr Pinchot concluded it was not a good Jaw. He did not apply to congress to amend or repeal it, but went directly of those already initiated under it. Was there ever a more despotic use of executive power in this nation? “Though four vears have passed, the coal 1aws of 1904 still stands suspended. It is not the oppression of any sreat and grasping monopoly that has, Mr. Pinchot claims, arrested the de opment of Alaska, e but the abuse of power at Washington instigated by Mr. Pinchot that has throttled our devel- opment in spite of the honorable and praiseworthy efforts of such capitalists as the Guggenheim and Morgan syndi- cate, the Cunningham cla the other 20.000 American cit are deeply affected. Mr. Joslin urges the president to is- “ue an order throwing open these coal iands for sale under the laws in order | that they may be opened and worked | for the benefit of the territory.
