President Roosevelt's letter. which

FEB. II, 1908.
My Dear Mr.. McAdoo.-\ow that a
beginning is to be made in opening for
operation the Hudson tunnel system, ]
write TO express my regret that | can
not be present in person, and my high
appreciation of what you have accom-
plished. The tunneling of the Hudson
river is indeed a notable achievement
one of those achievements of which
all Americans are, as they should be,
Justly proud The tunnel itself and the
great buildings constructed in connec-
tion Herewith represent a work of ex.
traordinary magnitude, represent ex-
traordinary difficulties successfully
overcome, while difficulty and magni.
tude are even surpassed by the useful
ness of the achievement.
The whole system is practically be-
low tidal water and this makes it much
the greatest subaqueous tunnel in the
world. 1t is bigger undertaking than
any Alpine tunnel which has yet been
constructed and the successful com
pletion represent the moving of New
Jersey bodily three miles nearer to New
York in point of time and immensely
increases the ease OF access from one
state to the other All the engineers
and business men who have taken
part in bringing this great achieve.
ment to a successful conclusion ought
to be most heartily congratulated. 1t
is the kind of business achievement
which is in the highest degree cred
table to the American people and for
which American people should feel and
publicly acknowledge their hearty
gratitude Sincerely yours.

NAVAL INVESTIGATION.
senate Committee Will Probe Reuter-
dahl Charges.

Washington.-Two experts in naval
construction-Rear Admiral Converse,
'etired. president of the board of con-
,truction, and Rear Admiral Capps
shief of the bureau Of construction and
repair, We're before the senate commit
tee on naval affairs Tuesday in the in
yestiSation of charges against the navy
made by Henry Reuterdahl in a recent
n'aSazine article. The charges were
taken up in the order they appeared
in the article. and al the conclusion of
extended refutations by Admiral Con
verse il was stated by Senator Perkins
that the apologies of the committee
We're due the officers for having called
them to answer such charges. Chair
man Hale assented to this view, and
co member of the committee took is
sue.
This incident at the conclusion of
the first days proceedings is thought
to indicate that the inquiry viii be
short II has not been determined
whether the committee will enter upon
an investigation of any subject except
those embraced in the criticisms OF the
Gattleship construction, but if other
questions are taken up it is certain no
ong-continued discussion will be per
mitted.
During the examination it was
learned that Reuterdahl is now with
the fleet on its cruise to the Pacific
having been permitted to start before
the publication OF his article.
AT the conclusion of the session
Senator Martin, Perkins and Gallinger
laughingly suggested that Reuterdahl
should be set of the fleet if Il conven.
lent barren island could be found in
the Pacific ocean.
The development of principal inter
est in the testimony of Admiral Con
verse was that two of The charges made
by Reuterdahl We're in language sim
ilar to that used by Lieutenant Com
mander Hill and Lieutenant Comman
der Sims. on duty with the general
board of the navy. in articles which
they prepared and submitted to the
secretary of the navy at his request
The admiral disclaimed any purpose
to indicate that these articles or state
ments of those officers had been the
inspiration for the Reuterdahl attack
upon the navy. Nevertheless these of
ticers are to be called before the com
mittee in the near future. Secretary
Metcalf also will be a witness. No de
cision has been reached as to what
person will be called as witnesses out
side of officers of the navy.

full condition of John Mclean, shot
throug the right arm, lower right jaw.
tongue and upper left jaw, with his
teeth all knocked out and his face
practically torn of by bullet fired
by Tom Metcalf, is the result of a

after the courts gave the MetcaIfs .he
right to run it there, made Treats

Yesterday he carried out his threats
by opening fire on them and their

miles is to be undertaken in July by
the First cavalry regiment of the Hi
nois National guard, according to ar
rangements just completed by Col Mil

march.

Ward Succeeds Cranston.

Denver.-Attorney Thomas Ward.
Jr was sworn in as United States dis
trict attorney for the district of Colo
RADIO, to succeed Earl NJ. Cranston, who
resigned several weeks ago and viii
now retire to private practice of the
legal profession. The oath was ad-
ministered in the Federal Court room
by Judge John A. Riner of Cheyenne
Immediately after the administration
of the oath of office Judge Riner paid
brief but impressive tribute to the
service that Mr.. Cranston has done
during the seven years of his occu-
pancv of the district attorneys Office
He said that Mr. Cranston had given
faithful, able and long service to the
government, that he was held in the
high esteem by courts and lawyers
wherever he appeared, and that if Mr.
Ward does as well he will deserve the
heartiest commendation.
The taking of the oath of office made
Mr. Ward the official district attorney
at once, and from the moment it was
taken he and he alone had power to
sign documents and perform the other
functions of the office. But for several
days Mr. Ward and Mr.. Cranston viii
be in consultation in order that the
great mass of information now held by
Mr.. Cranston may be made thoroughly
familiar to Mr.. Ward
A number of indictments are now
pending trial in the Federal Court, and
as great part of the evidence has been
gathered and classified under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Cranston, it is considered
likely that he will be requested to as
sist in the prosecutions from time to
time. Violations of postal laws. courl-
| terfeiting. and various classes of land
frauds are the most important cases
that Mr.. Ward will have to prosecute.
| Judge Lewis is now enjoying a
months vacation in the South. having
left Denver last week. Judge Riner OF
Cheyenne will hear a few cases for
him.

mercial Copper company OF Glovv anu
of the Shannon Copper company of
Clifton, whose offer to take over the
keystone mine by paying of tue $780,
600 mortgage on it was accepted by the
Keystone stockholders and then re-
jected by them so they could accept
an offer from John Il. Newman of
Globe, will bring suit against lac ney-
stone company for damages, charging
that they failed to fulfill their part of
the agreement with him
Amster was informed Immediately
OF the action of the Keystone stock
holders Tuesday in accepting New
mans offer. and wired w. S. Sultan.
who promoted Anste-'s deal with the
Keystone, to bring suit against the
company for damages.
1t is understood that there was no
written agreement between Amster
and the Keystone company, but that
the stockholders at their meeting
adopted resolutions accepting the
Amster offer as it was made to them
verbally by his representative.
Amster asserts that he was TO pay
the $4,000 mortgage on the Keystone
held by the Old Dominion Commercial
company as soon as an abstract OF
title was given to MIN for the proper
ty. He says that no abstract of title
was given TO him. although he stood
ready to pay of the mortgage and be
gin development work on the prop
erty.
Newman having already paid on
the mortgage and secured an option
on the property, Amster can only ash
for damages and not for compliance
by the company with the agreement
made with him.

VISITED CASEY PROPERTY

& Arizona.

Col. l.. W. Powell and L. G. Goring,
third vice-president and chief engi-
neer respectively of the Calumet &
Arizona Mining company. last week
in company with P. B. Soto, visited
the Casey copper property at Dos Ca
bezas which is under bond to the G.
& A A payment is due on this prop
erty in the very near future and we
presume one object of the visit at
this time is to size up the merits
Of the property. It is common talk
on the streets that an ore body some
forty feet in width has been ncov-
cred. While it is somewhat leached,
yet it carries very good copper values
and from the character of the forma-
ton it is in denotes permanency and
gives reason for believing great ore
bodies lie underneath. About fifty
men are at work on the property at
present.

the decision by Judge Sheldon in the
state court to the effect that A. S.
BigeIow and the estate of Leonard
Lewisohn were liable TO the Old Do
minion company for a good round sum

for them at any price.
The decision by the United States
Supreme court on which there are
two judges from Massachusetts, while
having an immediate bearing on the

the Lewiston estate from all responsi-

result ia the case of the Bigelow la

that holders oF the receipts will IestI-
