The evi- dence indicated that a great syndicate is trying to secure & monopoly of this coal, in direct violation of the law. Ultimately I felt myself obliged to appeal to you, over the heads of my superior officers, in order to bring about the enforcement of the law, which, in a measure, would conserve these coal lands to the people at large. I deemed it my duty to submit the facts to you, and I cannot regret my action. SINCE THERE MAY BE NOW EVEN GREAT- LANDS WILL BE FRAUDULENTLY SECURED BY THE SYNDICATE, IT IS NO LESS MY DUTY TO MY COUNTRY TO MAKE PUBLIC THE FACTS IN MY POSSESSION, CONCERNING WHICH I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN MIS- LED. This I shall do in the near future, with a full sense of the seriousness of my action and with deep and abiding respect for your great office. Respectfully, L. R. GLAVIS.

Many times when See retary Garfield, Ballinger’s predecessor, had business of a highly important character on hand, it was Glavis for whom he sent te look after these matters for him. In Oregon, during t last of the land fraud cases there, it was the work of Glavis that was responsthle for the conviction of the men charged with defrauding, or attempting to defraud, the government. The higher officials in the department of the interior and in the land office looked upon Glavis as the most valuable field man in the em ploy of the government. That should sit idly by, accepting his dismissal, with no thought of fighting back for what he believed to be right, was out of the question.

Glavis is now engaged in preparing a complete statement of the Cunningham coal land case, and within a few days this state- ment will be given to the public. in his letter to the president, @ copy of which appears in The Star today, Glavis makes known this determination. That he is quite confident of his ability to prove to the great jury of American people that Taft has been the preside secured by him “misied” is quite apparent. “I! have nothing further to say now,” said Glavis to The Star this morning, “than is contained in my letter to President Taft. I am making’ that letter public, just as President Taft made public his let- ter, in which he attacked my: judgment and intelligence and the pro- priety of my conduct as a government I am confident of the soundness of my and that I will be able to so convince the people of this country, I have no doubt. Just when the statement 1 am to prepare will be made public I cannot say, but I believe it will be within a few days.” The statement to be given out by Glavis promises to be one of the most tional documents affecting a member of the cabi- net or a high official ever given to the public. That it is con- sidered of a highly important nature is quite apparent from the large number of messages of inquiry received by Glavis daily from eastern publications. employe. position, ‘a ONLY OVER MY D&AD BodY ws ¢ LEND
