Chief of Field Service, Washington, D. C. SIR: I am in receipt of your above letter of February 1, 1910, in which you advised that the joint committee has requested the following: "Telegram of L. R. Glavis to commissioner April 11, 1909, and reply of commissioner to Glavis April 13, 1909. Also original letter of Commissioner Dennett to Glavis June 3, 1908, advising him of the passage of the new coal land law, and directing him to continue his investigations and submit reports in accordance therewith." The clerk of this office has carefully searched all of the records, but has been unable to find either of the telegrams mentioned above or the original letter. There is no record whatever of their having been received or having been in the office. I am, therefore, unable to forward you the same. In this connection I desire to invite your attention to the fact that Mr. Glavis has, from time to time, since his separation from the service, been returning to me official records belonging to the Seattle and also the Portland division. I also invite your attention to my report to you of even date, in which I advise you that I found a large Mr. H. H. SCHWARTZ, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, February 8, 1910. Chief of Field Service, Washington, D. C. SIR: I am in receipt of your above letter of February 1, 1910, in which you state that the joint committee has asked for the following: "Original report of H. T. Jones to L. R. Glavis, dated December 2, 1907, now or formerly in General Land Office.' number of documents belonging to the Government among his personal effects in the grand jury room in the Federal Building, which he apparently was deliberately concealing and depriving the Government of the use thereof. I would therefore suggest that you call on Mr. Glavis, through a subpoena or otherwise, for the original letter. I have no doubt that if all of his personal effects can be searched that said original letter can be found. Very respectfully, Chief of Field Division. In reply I have to advise you that I have searched carefully in all of the records of this office, but have been unable to find either the original or copy of said report. Mr. Jones informs me that he did not retain a copy of it. Your attention is invited to the attached list of letters and telegrams, which is a list of papers that were unlawfully taken from the office by former Chief of Field Division L. R. Glavis on the evening of September 18, 1909, to his room in the 2814 Lincoln Hotel, Seattle, Washington. They were taken there by him for the purpose of dictating a receipt to Clerk Frank L. Spaulding. He did dictate the receipt, but it was not written by Mr. Spaulding as dictated by him. On Sunday, September 19, 1909, I wrote him a letter demanding that all office records at that time in his possession be immediately returned to me. In accordance with said request the papers noted on the attached list were returned to me about nine a. m., September 20, 1909. You will note that said list contains the original letter which you desire. All of the papers mentioned in this list were delivered to Special Agent J. M. Sheridan immediately upon his arrival at Seattle, Washington, and I assume he now has said letter in his possession. I would therefore suggest that you call upon Mr. Sheridan for the same. At the time I handed these papers to Mr. Sheridan I suggested that he take therefrom all the papers that he might be able to use in connection with the investigation of the Cunningham group of Ålaska coal claims. Very respectfully, Chief of Field Division. Mr. H. H. SCHWARTZ, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, February 8, 1910. Chief of Field Service, Washington, D. C. SIR: I am in receipt of your above letter of February 1, 1910, in which you advise that the joint committee desires the following: "Letter from Mr. Todd, U. S. attorney at Seattle, Washington, about May, 1908, relating to the proposed criminal prosecution of certain Alaskan coal claims, which letter should now be on file either in the General Land Office or in the Seattle land office, and all other papers in either of said files bearing upon the same matter." In accordance therewith, I transmit herewith original report of Special Agent Horace T. Jones, dated April 22, 1908, to E. E. Todd, United States attorney; original letter from Glavis to Jones, dated April 24, 1908; original of letter from Todd to Jones, of May 13, 1908; also copy of letter from Todd to Glavis, dated May 18, 1908, and of which you have already been furnished with the original and copy, with my letters to you of February 4th and 5th, 1910, and copy of original letter from Jones to Todd, dated May 14, 1908. There is also attached herewith an original letter, dated June 8, 1908, addressed to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, evidently from Chief of Field Division Glavis, but unsigned, and a copy of said letter. I am informed by Special Agent Jones that this letter was never sent to the commissioner by Mr. Glavis, as he spoke of taking the matter up personally with the commissioner when he was in Washington. I am unable to find a carbon copy of this report, except the one attached thereto, which is a copy which was apparently written some time later. I am informed by Miss Shartell, the stenographer now in this office, that this copy was made by Mrs. Greer, who was in this office until some time in August, 1909. You will note that the copies bear the initials "GG." United States Attorney Todd informs me that all of the papers in connection with the proposed criminal prosecution were returned to Mr. Glavis with his letter of May 18, 1909, including carbon copy of his letter of May 13, 1909. These are all of the papers in the Christopher group relating to the proposed criminal prosecution. Very respectfully, Chief of Field Division. 2789 Mr. H. H. SCHWARTZ, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, February 8, 1910. Chief of Field Service, Washington, D. C. SIR: Complying further with your request contained in your telegram of January 29, 1910, I have to-day forwarded you, under separate cover and by registered mail, daily report book containing notes of work performed by former Chief of Field Divi sion Glavis from July 2, 1908, until June 4, 1909; also carbon copies of his daily reports from January 1st to June 30th, 1909. These are part of the records that were found among Glavis's personal effects in the grand jury room in the federal building and concerning which I have made separate report to you this date. Very respectfully, Chief of Field Division. |
