Message to the Senate Fully Explains tike Trans­ action and Denounces the Attack on Chief 1 Executive and His Brother as Wilful and Malicious Falsehood. Washington.--President Taft tent to the senate Wednesday a message that recalled some of those received from his predecessor. It was In re­ ply to a resolution of the senate re- guesting the president to transmit to the senate all the documents relating to the elimination from the Chugach national forest, In Alaska, of land fronting upon Controller bay. Mr. Tuft ssise* the occasion occasion to make a vigorous defense of his own honor and that of his brother, Charles P. Taft, against the attacks made in relation to this Controller bay "scan- &&L" The president sent In all the docu­ ments asked for, and more, and quotes the executive order In ques­ tion, by which 12,800 acres were eliminated from the national forest. His message describes the import­ ance of Controller bay as a railway terminal and relates the operations of the Copper River railroad, owned by the Morgan-Ouggenheim Interests, whose terminal is at Cordova. Ryan's Application Investigated. In December, 1909, Richard S. Ryan applied for the Controller bay elimination, afterward granted, stat­ ing that he represented the Controller Railroad and Navigation company. Mr. Talt tells how this application was referred to the district foresters at Portland, Ore., and in Alaska and was approved by Chief Forester trlbuted to a newspaper correspondent that In an examination of the files of the Interior deportment a few weeks ago a postscript was found attached to a letter of July 13. 1910, addressed by Mr. Richard S. Ryan to Secretary Ballinger--and In the present record --urging the elimination of land enough for terminals for the Control­ ler Railway & Navigation company. The postscript was said to read as fol­ lows: "Dear Dick: I want to see the presi­ dent the other day. He asked me who it was 1 represented. I told him according to our agreement, that I represented myself. But that didn't seem to satisfy him. So I sent for Charlie Taft and asked him to tell his brother, the president, who it was I really represented. The president made no further objection to my claim. Tours, DICK." Uses Strong Language. "The postscript is not now on the files of the department. If it were, it would be my duty to transmit it under this resolution. Who is really responsible for its wicked fabrication if it ever existed, or for the viciously false statement made as to its authen­ ticity, is immaterial for the purposes of this communication. The purport of the alleged postscript la, and the in­ tention of the fabricator was, to make Mr. Richard S. Ryan testify through its words to the public that although tl»* latter was away for his vaeat%» for two months, must impress Places the Maui *"Hie person upon whose" i the existence of what has been proper­ ly characterised as an amassing post­ script Is based, is a writer for newspa­ pers and magastnes, who waa givea permission by Secretary Fisher, after consulting with me, to examine an the flies In respect to the Controller Bay matter--and this under the supervision of Mr. Brown, then private secretary of the secretary of the interior. After the examination, at which It is alleged this postscript was re­ ceived from the hand of Mr. Brown, the correspondent prepared an elab­ orate article on the subject of this order and Controller Bay, which was submitted to Mr. Fisher, and which was discussed with Mr. Fisher at length, but never in the con­ versation between them or in the arti­ cle submitted did the correspondent mention the existence of the post­ script Mr. Brown states that there was no such postscript, in the papers when he showed them to the corre­ spondent and that he never saw such a pbstsorlpt. Similar evidence is given by Mr. Carr and other custodt&as of the records in the interior depart­ ment. "Stronger evidence of the falsity and maliciously slanderous character of the alleged postscript could not be had. Its only significance is the light it throws on the bitterness and venom of some of those who take active part In every discussion of Alaskan issues. 8candal-Mongerlng Denounced. "1 am in full sympathy with the eoo- cern of reasonable and patriotic men that the valuable resources of Alaska should not be turned over to be ex­ ploited for the profit of greedy, absorb­ ing and monopolistic corporations or syndicates. Whatever the attempts which have been made, no one, as a matter of fact, has seoured in Alaska any undue privilege or franchise not completely under the control of con­ gress. I am in full agreement with the view that every care, both In admin­ istration and in legislation, must be observed to prevent the corrupt or on- MAP OP CONTROLLER SAT htfmni ijr Jbwyim Ml tf th* Cant **4 Mm jan ̂ O P - OripMfypraptmt ii It ii S41 ̂« TT • Twmt--I Tr*ct <W SkM. fSJO. •44-AmtUI Se*tmtr W • rrtt I/mJ r --J.-- > T tM-. o n xa I Ka v e fc mm-u. Graves; how the navy department •tated It did not desire to use Con­ troller bay as a reservation; how the matter was considered fully by the forestry bureau, the secretary of ag­ riculture, the secretary of the inter­ ior, the general land office and the cabinet. As a result, after an Inter­ view between the president and Mr. Ryan, an order was drafted eliminat­ ing £20 acres. Meanwhile Mr. Ryan had satisfied the president and other officials that he and his associates had no connec­ tion with the Morgan-Guggenheim In­ terests and were engaged In an in­ dependent enterprise in good faith to build an independent railroad. The question again came before the cab­ inet, and the president, with the ap­ proval of the secretaries of the In­ terior and agriculture, changed the order so that it eliminated 12,800 acres, with sufficient room for a railroad town. The message says: was willing to do this because I found the restrictions in the law suf­ ficient to prevent the possibility of any monopoly of either the uplands or the harbor or channel by the Con­ troller Railroad and Navigation com­ pany or any other person or con­ cern." These restrictions the presi­ dent sets forth at length, and shows that the Ryan company has not the •lightest opportunity for exclusive appropriation of the harbor facilities unless congress shall by future act deliberately and voluntarily confer It. The "Dick to Dick" Letter. Coming to the personal side of tha matter, Mr. Taft says: "Before closing, I desire to allude to a circumstance which the terms of this resolution make apt and relevant It is a widely published statement at- p Cover for Bathtub. Many housekeepers spend a lot of time cleaning their bathtubs. Here is a way to make the work less strenu­ ous: Cut a piece of unbleached mu» Bn the sise of the tub and round off the edges to fit it, a bias facing is then stitched round the cover, and through this a piece of tape is run.

I was at first opposed in the public In­ terest to granting the elimination which he requested, nevertheless through the undue Influence of my brother, Mr. Charles P. Taft, and the disclosure of the real persons In In­ terest, I was induced improperly and {or the promotion of their private gain, to make the order. "The statement in so far as my broth­ er is concerned--and that is the chief feature of the postscript--is utterly unfounded. He never wrote to me or spoke to me In reference to Richard S. Ryan or on the subject of Controller Bay or the granting of any privileges or the making of any orders In respect to Alaska. He has no interest lh Alaska, never had, ou«l &UU ** O uv/tuiu^ of the circumstances connected with this transaction. He does not remem­ ber that be ever met Richard S. Ryan. He never heard of the Controller Bay railroad until my cablegram of inquiry reached him, which, with hla answer, is in the record. "Mr. Ballinger says in a telegram In answer to my inquiry, both of which are in the record that he never re­ ceived such a postscript and that he was in Seattle on the date of July 13, when it was said to have been written. "Mr. Richard fl. Ryan in a letter which he has sent me without solicitation, and which is In the record, says that he never met my brother, Mr. Charles P.6 Taft, and that so far as he knows, Mr. Charles P. Taft never had the slightest inter­ est In Controller Bay, in the Controll­ er Railway and Navigation company, or In any Alaskan company, and he utterly denies writing or signing the alleged postscript.

"On the other hand, the acrimony of spirit and the Intense malice that have been engendered in respect of the ad­ ministration of the government in Alaska and in the consideration of measures proposed for her relief and the wanton recklessness and eagerness with which attempts have been made to besmirch the characters of high of­ ficials having to do with the Alaskan government, and even of persons not in public life, present a condition that calls for condemnation and requires that the public be warned of the de­ moralization that has been produced by the hysterical suspicions of good people and the unscrupulous and cor­ rupt misrepresentations ot the wicked. The helpless state to which the credul­ ity of some and the malevolent scan- dal-mongering of others have brought the people of Alaska in their struggle fof its development ought to give the public pause, for until a Juster and fair­ er view be taken, investment in Alaska, which is necessary to its de­ velopment, will be Impossible, and hon­ est administrators and legislators will be embarrassed in the advocacy and putting into operation of those policies in regard to the territory which are necessary to its progress and pros­ perity.

ASK FOR HIS ALASKAN DELEGATE REITERATES CHARGES AGAINST ATTOR­ NEY GENERAL. LITTLETON WANTS EVIDENCE Display of Bitterness and Decision for Utmost Publicity Are Net Re­ sults of Hearing Before Judfeiary Body. Washington.--Charges of "bribery^ and "graft" were bandied when the two Wickers hams--the attorney gen­ eral of the United States and the dele­ gate from Alaska--faced each other at a hearing before the house commit­ tee on Judiciary on government affairs In the northwestern territory. The question of the insufficiency of what the delegate declared was proof that the attorney general "purpose­ ly shielded and defended Alaska syn­ dicate criminals against punishment" arose. Representative Sterling suggested that Delegate Wickersham's charges indicated only failure of the depart­ ment of Justice to prosecute. "Oh, he has gone way beyond that," interrupted Attorney General Wick- ersham. "Yes," said Delegate Wickersham, "I insist there was a deliberate at­ tempt to protect."' The delegate declared that United States Marshal H. K. Love, who fig­ ured in the Cunningham coal land cases, had discharged a deputy named Bowers, who was also jailer at Kodiak, because he "wouldn't give up the graft." "He wouldn't pay Love $100 a month out of what he received for the board of prisoners," the delegate ex­ plained. Delegate Wickersham, a Repub­ lican, reviewed his attempts to have the department of justice move against D. H. Jarvls of the Alaska syndicate and J. H. Bullock of the John J. Sesnor company for alleged conspir­ acy on government coal contracts, whereby he alleges the government lost $50,000. The delegate charged that federal officials in Alaska had been bribed. Representative Howland of Ohio de­ manded that he prove that statement. "I will before I finish," declared the delegate. The delegate discussed the attitude of the attorney general on the charges of coal frauds, on which he said he had submitted proof to the attorney general'B department in 1908. "Do you believe that the evidence you have submitted is proof that the attorney general shielded these peb- ple?" asked Representative Littleton. "I do; don't you?" "I do not," Mr. Littleton emphatic­ ally replied. Several members of the judiciary committee objected to the wide range of Delegate Wiakersham's testi­ mony. "His charges against the attorney general were publicly made," said Mr. Littleton, "And the failure or suc­ cess of his attempt to prove his charges ought to be just as pub­ lic." Delegate Wickersham declared he did not withdraw any of his charges. The committee decided to let him submit all possible evidence designed to substantiate such charges. HE TAKES OFF THE TABLB.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT "When my first baby was six months old he broke out on his head with little bumps. They would dry up and leave a scale. Then it would break out again and it spread all over his head. All the hair came out and his head was scaly all over. Then his face broke out all over in red bumps and it kept spreading until it was on his hands and arms. I bought several boxes of ointment, gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors to treat him, but he got worse all the time. He had it about six months when a friend told me about Cuticura. I sent and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. In three days after using them he began to Im­ prove. lie began to take long naps and to stop scratching his head. After taklhg two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Soap he was sound and well, and never had any breaking out of any kind. His hair came out in little curls all over his head. I don't think anything else would have cured him except Cuti­ cura. "I have bought Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap several times since to use for cuts aitu tiureu ami have never known them to fail to cure what I put them on.

Folger, secretary of the Standard Oil company, an­ nounced in a formal statement to stockholders the plan of distribution of the stock of the subsidiary com­ panies to comply with the "rule of reason" laid down to the trust recent­ ly by the Supreme court of the United States. The stock of the subsidiary com­ panies will be distributed pro rata among the stockholders of record with the parent corporation on September 1 last. The plan of reorganization, as announced, contemplates the restora­ tion of the original companies of which the giant combine is com­ posed. The Supreme court of the United States adjudged the Standard Oil com­ bine in restraint of trade and a viola­ tor of the Sherman anti-trust law in a decision handed down on May 16 last. The corporation was ordered to dis­ solve and was given six months to conform to the court's decree. Since that time there has been much specu­ lation concerning the method the cor­ poration would take to comply with the judicial mandate. The outstanding stock of the Stand­ ard Oil company is said to be in the hands of 8.000 stockholders. Many of them have small lots of from one share to one hundred shares.
