LETTER PLACED IN EVIDENCE Pefendants Say it Shows Improper Interference by the KForestry Bureau in Land Office Aftairs Nov, 24.—Willlam A. continued his SEATTLE, Wash., Langille, forest supervisor, testimony today in the Inquiry Into the validity of the Cunningham coal land claimy, and told. of his inspection of the claims last August, when he found pros. pect holes on most of the claims, but no real development work. Mr. Langlle's evidence was virtually the same, as that of Andrew Kennedy, the B vernment coal expert, A letter from George H. Cecll, acting district forester at Portland, Ore., to ¥. K Ames, a forestry bureau agent in Alaska, was introduced today. The letter, whicn attorneys for the defendants say shows improper interference by the forestry bu- reau with land offices, follows: Dear Ames: There is considerable evi- dence that the cialmants in the above cases (Cunningham claims) are not only trying to get valuable coal lands fraudu- lentiy, but are attempting to secure In ad- the purpose of supplylng timber to work their mines. Clarence Cunningham, in one of his reports to the siockho.ders, admits that four of the clalms are more valuable for timber than for coal, so the depart- ment has secured a continuance of the cases in order 1o Investigate thoroughly. Speclal Agents Stoner and Kennedy arc now on the ground and will be instructed by Mr. Glavis to co-operate with you fully, They, of course, are in charge of the in- vestigation and, 8o far as possible, their suggestions should be followed. It will be necessary to have an estimate of all the timber upon all these claims. For this purpose, Mr. Langille has been authorized to employ temporarily assistants in mak- ing the estimates. The gencral lund office has requested that this examination be ex- pedited as much as possible The forester has authorized the appoint- ment of Gabriel Wingate as coal agent, to examine the claims in order to ascerfain which claims contain workable coal and which are valuable for timber only. The government virtually concluded the examination of its witnesses in the Alaska coal land Investigation today, and it ls probable that the Seattle sitting will be concluded tomorrow, when the spectal com- missioner will adjourn the hearings to Bpokane. It now seems certain that L. R. Glavis, former chief of the field general land office her as a witness by the gov division of the | will not be called ernment. Although he has been a constant attendant at the | hearing, Mr. Glavis was called on by the government only to identify a letter written by him to J. M.

These claims originally aggresated $300,- 000, but now amount to half a dozen times that much with interest since 1576, ave based on the same lssue of old equipment bonds as the.claim of the estate of James Compton, upon which the United States cir- cult court of appeals recently gave final decree for approximately $300,000. For the satisfaction of the Compton claim the pro erty of the Wabash in Ohlo, except the new Montpeller branch, is to be sold D cember 22 The clalms today represented were first sued upon In 1881, and have been twice to the United States supreme court.
