An echo of the famous Cunningham
coal land case was heard when the
United States land office at Juneau re
ceived notice from the Commissioner
of the General land office that the mo
tion of the Cunningham claimants for
a re-hearlng, had been denied.
The Cunningham claims in the Be
ring river district were located in 1903
04 by Clarence Cunningham and asso
ciates, among whom was Nate Mul
len of Juneau. Application for patent
was made in 1907, when the claim
ants paid in the purchase price on the
thirty-three claims in the group, each
of which having had 160 acres of
ground contained in its borders.
It was then that Louis R. Glavis,
then head of the field division of the
general land office, made his charges
that the Cunningham ciaimants were
serving the Guggenheim interests as
A "dummy locators." A hearing was
held in 1910, Glavis meanwhile retir
ing in the nation-wide scandal that
stirred Washington to great excite
ment.
The government subsequently failed
to prove the truth of the Glavis
charges, but the government’s charges
that the locations were not made in
the interest of the individual locators,
but were under an associate agree
iment, brought about the cancellation
of the claims in September, 1912. It
was then that Secretary of the Inter
ior Walter L. Fisher refused to grant
the appeal of Cunningham and his as
sociates.
The denial of the motion to review
the case will forever close the Cun
ningham controvesy, it is believed.

All the authentic railroad and war
news in The Daily Times.
THE HAGUE, Jan. 11—(Correspon
dence of the Associated Press)—The
Nieuwe Courant of this city has been
given a rather surprising and wholly
unexpected reply to a challenge it
made to the Frankfurter Zeitung to
produce proof of its assertion that
Dutch mails were being inspected by
English agents.
It was thought at the time that
the Frankfurter Zeitung would not. be
able to produce anything resembling
proof of this serious charge, but in the
illustrated section of its edition of
December 18th, which just arrived
here, the German paper shows what it
asserts is the reproduction of a letter,
which, carrying the following address:
"Frau Helene Coleman, Zeppelin
Worke, Friedrlchshafen, Bodensee,”
had been opened by the British cen
sors, and had after that found its way
to the addressees. That the letter
was mailed in Holland is shown by
the cancellation stamp. In addition
the back fo the envelope carries in
English legend: "Undeliverable—L. P.
S.” (Letter post service) and across
the edge cut open by the censor, the
customary strip of paper with the in
scription : “Opened by Censor” had
been pasted.
Commenting upon the matter the
Nieuwe Courant says:
"We understand perfectly why this
remarkable accident should have
aroused the suspicions of the Ger
man newspaper, all the more when we
consider that the words ‘Zeppelin
works’ occur in the address. The
German version of the affair—as we
gather from a communication we have
received—is that through the agency
of bribed Dutch postal officials ‘sus
picious’ letters reach English hands.
But in that case it is impossible to
understand how the letter, after a
month, reached the addressee at
Friedrlchshafen. It is not likely that
the English would be foolish enough
to again forward a letter so treated no
matter haw harmless Its contents.
“But our correspondent meets thiss.
argument by saying that finally the
letter had reached its destination
by mistake.
"It is more probable that the letter
was sent to England by mistake—
that it got in the wrong mail bag. But
it is unfortunate that just this one had
to bear the address: ‘Zeppelin Works.’
"That a similar case occurred in the
Danish mail proves in itself nothing.
A Vienna professor wrote to the
Frankfurter Zeitung that a letter he
received on October 22 and which had
been mailed in Copenhagen on Sep
tember 4 had been given the same
treatment. This letter, too, may have
gotten Into the hands of the English
by being pu In the wrong mail bag.
“We agree with the Frankfurter
Zettung that an explanation of the oc
curance Is ‘urgently desired- with this
in view we have informed the director
general of the postal service and have
requested him to investigate the mat
ter thoroughly."
A newspaper correspondent here al
so reports the experience of having
received from his wife in New York
a letter which had been opened by
English censors, although addressed
to The Hague. Inquiry at the local
post office brought the reply that only
registered mail was comparatively
safe nowadays.
NEW SUBMARINE
TENDER IS
SEATTLE. Jan. 25- The submarine
tender Kushnell, built here at a cost
of $1,000,000, was launched, with Miss

submarine, as sponsor.
The Bushnell will serve as the
mother ship for the fleet of under

to play an important part In the na
tional defenses on this coast. She will
be able to accompany the submarines
far to sea, acting as a supply ship, and
will be equipped with machinery nec
cessary in repairing the intricate
craft. The Bushnell will carry tor
pedoes, ammunition, parts of sub
marines, machinery for recharging
torpedoes and a fully equipped foun
