Glavis's claim that he prevented the government from being defrauded by procuring a referencé fo the attorney- general of the questions of law Involved and the overruling by him of an opinion written by Assistant Secretary Pierce, which would have enabled the Cunningham claimants to procure patents on their claims, is absslutely disproved by the record, which shows: (1) That the letter submitting the questions to the attorney- general, the form of which was prepared by Mr. Schwartz \n conference with Glavis and was in part suggested by him, by its very terms excluded any possible reference to the Cunnirgham claims; and (2) that with the explanation of the somewhat ambiguous phase, ‘initiation of the entry’ used by Assistant Secretary Plerce, his construction of the statute did not differ from that given to it by the attorney- general In his opinfon, “Fifth—The intervention of the foresiry bureau, procured by Glavis, is shown by the record to have been entirely unneces- sary to the protection of the Interests of the United States. It was even unneces- sary to secure a postponement of the hear- ing on the Cunningham claims, as Bpeclal Agent Sheridan of the land otfice, who had been semt to conduct the hearing on the claims, after a conference with Glavis, concurred in the advisability of a post- ponement unttl atter the compleiion of a field examination, although for reasons differing from any which had been previ- ously advanced by Glavis, and so advised the general land "office. “Sixth—Glavis' * ‘report' and summary abound In contradictions and misstate- ments.

The claimants were entitled to have the objection to their claims formulated and brought to hearing with reasonable promptness, and the interests of the government did not re- quire and were not advanced by the pro- longed delays and Inaction of Special Agent Glavis, In this connection it may be pointed out, as an example of Glavis' habi- tual procrastination, that although, pur- suant to his request of April 11, 1908, to forward to him all original papers relating to Alaska coal entrles and declaratofy statements upon his representation that the statute of limitations would prevent criminal prosecutions after the following October, and the cases must therefore be presented during the month of May, all such briginal papers and documents were, by direction of the general land office, im- mediately transmitted to him by the Juneau office, no proceeding whatever was taken by him to bring these oriminal prosecutions or to take any steps iu con- nection therewith. “Glavis appears at all times to have been prolific in criticlsm and fault finding of other officials of his department, desir- ous of Increasing his jurisdiction, ready with reasons for delay, but never ready to complete anything he undertook. His action in appealing to the Forestry Bureau of the Department of Agricuiture to intervene in these cases, without consulting any of his official superiors, was a breach of all proper discipline. which is pecullarly aggra- vated beeause taken on the very day when he complained to ecretary Ballinger in person that he was being forced to a hearing before ready with necessary evi- dence, and was referred by the secretary to Chief of Fleld Service Schwartz. That he could have had no lack of confidence in Mr. Schwartz Is shown by his personal letter to him dated July 3, 1909, In which he expresses his friendship for Schwarts, tells him that in his opinion neither Sce- retary Ballinger nor Mr. Dennett can last, and advises him to try for Cofamissioner Dennett's place, with the obvious sug- gestion that he, Glavis, can/ then take Schwartz' place. “Glayis' actions appear to have been upon a wholly exaggérated sense of his own importance, and a desire for personal adyancement, rather than on any genuine desire to protect the interests of the gov- ernment, and this species of megalomania has finally led him to submit to you charges of Improper motives and conduct against his official’ superlors, which, In my opinion, are so unjust and unfounded as to merit his immediate separation from the service, “Respectitully, “GEORGE W.

NAVAJOS GIVE UP GAMBLING Seven Hund Braves Tarn Over to Agent Enorm Stoek of Para- rnalin and Vow to Live Simple Life. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6—Tincle Eam's campalgn for “moral uplift” among his wast army of wards, which has been con- tinued with unabated vigor since it was begun by the Roosevelt administration has been chiefly significcant, because of the total suppression of the sale and use “fire water’ among the braves and the consequent diminuation of warlike out- breaks on the Peservations. Annual reports of the reservation su- perintendents in widely scattered parts of the United States attribute the success of the crusade to the co-operation between state and federal auhoriles, which has been more generally practiced during the past year than ever before. This campaign of well-directed effort among the Indian of- ficials has been fraught with good results men are being drawn away from many of destructive habits of their former no- madic existence. ‘Washington officials evinced much inter- missioner Abbott that 700 Navajo Indians went recently to their “‘white father’ su- perintendent and, surrendering an enor- | rolled their names alongside “simple life" exponents. These devices of varied sorts and were shipped here and have been placed on exhibition with the imme collection of telics and trophies at the Indian bureau. 'PINCHOT WRITES those of the gambling descriptions (Continued from First Page.) they did transgressed propriety. But meas- ured by the emergency which f: sults which were accomplished, their breach of propriety. sinks well nigh to Insignifi- cance." | Mr. Pinchot said he disclaimed any in- tentign or desire to shirk any part of his own legitimate responsibility for what was done by these two subordinates. What they did. he added, raised a question of principle which should not be obscured either by personal consideration or possible mistakes on their part. They had, he said, done for the people of the country what the people would have done for themselves had they been in a situation to do it. Upon the conclusion of the discussion of the Pinchot letter the president’s message, transmitting Attorney General Wicker- sham's report in the Baliinger case, was laid before the chamber, but Mr. Wicker- sham's long report was not read. It was referred to the committee on public lands. Senator Nelson, chairman of the commit- tee on public lands, has called a meeting for Saturday morning to consider the sev- eral resolutions relating to the investiga- tion of the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. CABINET MEETING IS CALLED Pinchot's Letter to Dolliver s Dis- cussed by President and Advisers. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.~Late this after- noon, after reading the newspaper reports of the lively tilt caused In the senate by the reading of a letter addressed to Senator Dolliver, as chairman of the senate com- mittee on agriculture, by Gifford Pinchot, In which the chiet forester vigorously up- held the subordinates In his office for the aid they gave Louls R. Glavis in the r ports he made public attacking Secretary of the Interfor Ballinger, President Taft sent out a hurry call for such members of his cablnet as were within reach. Secretary of the State Knox, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, Attorney General Wiskersham and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson soon put in an appearance. It was sald that Forester Pinchot's con- duct In sending an official communication to the chalrman of a congressional com- mittee was freely discussed, although none of the cabinet officers who participated in the conference would discuss their call to the White House in any way. President Taft some time ago issued an order that no subordinate in any govern- ment department should disclose any In- formation to congress except through the head of the department. Mr. Pinchot, in his letter, virtually upholds Glavis and de- scribes him as “the most vigorous de- fender of the people's rights,” despite the | fact that President Taft had declared | Glavis unfit longer to remain in the public service. This direct slap at the president and the further declaration by Mr. Pin- chot that the Cunningham coal lands really were about to go to fraudulent claimants until Glavis and the forestry bureau offi- clals took a hand in the fight, thus im- pugning the Intentions of high officials of the Interior department, are sald to haxe aroused Mr. Taft to keen resentment. The president is sald to have felt for some time that Mr. Pinchot has been “de- tying the lightning." Some action as to Mr. Pinchot's course in the letter incident is not unexpected. TALKS FOR NORRIS INSURGENTS Nebrasksan Says They Are Not Scared by Patronage Threat. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—"The insurgent republicans of the house are not intimidated by the action of the administration in with- holding patronage from them and are not scared into silence by apy apparent com- bination of President Taft and Speaker Cannon.” This was the declaration of Representa- tive Norris of Nebraska, one of the leading insurgents of the house. Mr. Norris re- sented stories appearing in one or two Washington and New York newspapers to- day to the effect that the insurgents were “lylng down” under the edict of the ad- ministration. On the contrary, Mr. Norris returned to the attack and criticised Presi- dent Taft himself for the act of the ad- ministration In singling out insurgent rep- resentatives for punishment “President Taft Is making a grave mis- take by alding Cannon In this way, and I want to say so unhesitatingly,” continued Mr Norris. “1 do not object, nor do any of the insurgents object, as far as I know, to the withholding of patronage from us. But I denounce this“singling out of the men who have opposed Caunon and the house organization for an infliction of punishment. “How can the president say we are op- posed to his policiep and declare that we are i0 be punished for it, when we have not opposed his policies in any way?

WABHINGTON, Jan. 6.—(3pecial Tele- gram.)—The senate committee on public lands at its meeting today decided to re- port favorably the Gamble bill which pro- vides that something like 160,00 acres of land in the Cheyenne and Standing Rock Indian reservations in alternate sectlons are to he turned over to the states Of North and South Pakota for school pur- poses. The bill aléo fixes the price which shall be paid these Indians at $2.50 per acre and the measure appropriates 15,00 to carry out this provision An effort was made by those interested | 1o reduce to $1.25 per acre the amount | which should be pald them for thelr lands, | but this falled in committee owing to a| most vigorous protest from the officlals of the Indian bureau, who stoutly main- {ained that the lands sought were easily worth frum $ to §10 per acre and even 50 per acre was, If anything, too small relmbursement for these lands. The bill also carries an appropriation of $70,000 to complete allotments of lands to Indians now In progress. The senate today confirmed the nomin tion of John H.
