Taft ruling does not change title to large coal lands near Kauilla
Seattle September 2 President Taft's ruling in the Hatlinger Glavis dispute does not alter the claim to vast coal lands near Kauila Idaho claimed by syndicates led by Cronin’s group. Estimates place coal funds at 75090000 to 310000000 with much of the region still unexplored. The Cunningham case record shows claimants providing Interior documents to prove validity while no immediate decision is expected though a thorough investigation of the coal claims will proceed.
