"When this' inquiry first began' Mr. Bellinger sent a letter here In which he expressed tha desire to.Jesve (he committee untrammeled.

Members of the committee, however, became deeply Interested In the operations of the Alaska syndicate and they piled tbe witness with questions from every possible angle.

Much of the questioning was Intended to show that the Guggenheim practically control Alsska. Mr. Birch stoutly denied thla the real iaiue In tbe whole controversy from beginning to end. "Well." he was asked by Representative Graham, "if the Guggeabelms got control ot the coal landa la Alatka what would there be left?"

He admitted that the Guggeahelma' Interests were Isrge. thst they had Invested some S13.MO.000 already and had contracted for the expenditure ot other millions. There had been no returns from these Investments as yet. But the syndicate "had hopes. "Mr.
