As was expected, the greater part of the morning session was devoted to the intro- duction of evidence from the printed record in the document. Mr. Pinchot's name was drawd into the hearing on the first day of his absence. Glavis had got to that point in his story of the Cunningham claims where the land office placed Special Agent Sheridan in charge of the case to conduct the hearings. “Sheridan was a lawyer and had wide experience?” inquired Senator Nelson. “Yes, sir," replied Glavis. demanded the in jeopardy by his assigament?* “No, sir, not by the action. He took the same view of the case that I did.” “Wasn't, it a fact that Sheridan super- seded you that made you think it neces- sary to apply to Pinchot to introinee you to the president and that so alarmed you as to the status of these cases?’ “A great many things salarmed me be- sides that; that did not alarm me very much. I applled to Mr. Pinchot after I had protested against the cases going to hearit:g in July. I wdntod first to make a field examination.” Jerom& Attends Hearing.

Glavis testified as to a visit he made to the land office on one occasion. “What brought you to Washington at that time,” asked Senator Nelson. “I came to interview & congressntan who had a claim in the Green group,” replied the witness. The witness then went on to tell about having secured in July, 1909, an affidavit from Harry White of Los Angeles, for- mer mayor of Seattle, and of White tell- ing him that in addition' to representing people In. the Cunningham group Mr. Ballinger had represented a congressman in the Green group.

D., Jan. 2.—(Speclal)—A tew weeks ago Arthur Bruhm, a German, 4 years old, was taken into custody on the charge of Insanity. It developed, how- ever, that he was just mentally unbalanced and not very violent, but it was evident that he would become a county charge. It was learned through the examination that he “was mot & naturallzed ocitizen of the United States ard it was thus impossible for the county to have any jurisdiction over him. State Attorney Herbert took up correspondence with the Department of Commerce and Labor at Washington and explained ‘the situation. The department ordered Richard Davis of Minneapolls, an Inspection immigration agent, to come to this clty end examine Bruhm. He finished the examination today and announced that Bruhm and his wife would have to be deported to Germany. The wife came over here In June and ihe husband followed in the early fall, but both were practically without funds and they were incapacitated for earning money.

IN OMAHA YARDS 27 YEARS Clever Spouse Finds Remedy to Oure Husband After He Has Been It took a clever wife’s stratagem to win new health for her husband and enable him to return to his work after a year's Idlene The lucky man is Mr. Frank E. Alvord of 208 Poppleton avenus, Wwho has been rallroading in the Omaha yards for 3 years and is widely known all over the middle west. The story was told by Mrs. Alvord In the presence of a group of persons at the Hrandels stores who wera walting to the Cooper “stomach man.” Although her own part in the af- fair restored her husband to health after many doctors had falled, she, in turn, ascribed entire credit to the eastern health expert, who has made all Omaha talk about him by his remarkable methods and success In this city. Mrs. Alvord sald: “My husband was injured in a rallroad wreck some time ago. After his broken bones had knit together and he began to think he would soon recover, rheumatism set In, completely incapacitating him for work. Many doctors sought to help him by various kinds of treatment, but noth- Ing seemed to do him any good. We feared he would never be able to work again and Mr. Alvord became very much discouraged. He had been working in the rallroad yards 80 long he felt he belonged there. His sufferings were fearful and he used to say life hardly seemed worth living. “One day In talking with Mr. James Mc- Candless, the Union Pacific yardmaster in Omaha, he told me of how he had been oured of rheumatism in a remarkable man- ner by this Cooper ‘stomach man' I knew that my husband was prejudiced against anything short of a doctor's per- sonal treatment, and so I decided to pro- cure some of the remedy for him. I gave him the medicine that I secured from the ‘stomach man,’ pretending that it was something else. “His recovery was nothing short of mar- velous. Within a week he felt better. The pains and aches were not so bad and he began to have a better appetite and sleep easier. In a short while he was up and about and now s back at work again, completely restored to health. I want to say to anybody that asks me, or that I oan get to lleten, that this Cooper tr ment Is positively the most wonderful thing I ever knew of.
