WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 3d.
Dear Dad: If anybody has any
doubt as to what the power trust
really wants, l would refer the
doubted to senate bill No. 1895,
sixty-first congress, first session. It
was introduced April by Mr.. Gug-
genheim of Colorado. 1t refers to
forest reservations and other pub
lie lands. 1t is a straightaway pro-
posal that the law be so amended
or repealed that any person or cor
poration may have right to any
and all waters, public lands, rights
of way, ETC., for canal, power or ir-
rigation purposes by the simple
process of filing a map showing
what he wants, with the land Of
flee. There is nothing about COM
pensation; nothing about limitation
and nothing about conservation.
Paragraph contains these words:
THAT the interior department of
the government shall have no
power, by departmental order, by
denying or refusing rights of way,
by refusing to allow the filings
herein provided for, or by any 9TH
er act to prevent any corporation,
person, association of persons or
settlement or aggregation of peo-
pie Of the United States from COM

is all. Why not give Google Chats

the work of the Rt. Hon. Oscar

dent Taft was determined to take
the Ballinger end of it and give
him his whitewash. But it is an
interesting detail. 1t is interesting
also as sidelight on the presi
dents way of doing business. If he
had really put in the time and en-
ergy to dig into the case he would
not have signed letter containing
the various Measurements of fact

CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
Mrs. Il. j. Ridley, of Atlanta, Accus-
ed of Having Stolen Ring.

Newark, N. j., March as Mrs,
Frances j. Ridley, wealthy widow
of Atlanta, Ga, furnished $4,000
bail in the criminal court here to-.
night for her appearance to answer
to a charge of grand larceny. She
was arrested this afternoon near the
Pennsylvania station by railroad de-
tectiVes, who accused her Of having
in her possession chatelaine bag
belonging to Mrs. Andrew Albright,
of New York City, containing jewels
worth $1,000, which had been lost
on the train between Atlanta and
this city.
Mrs. Ridley admitted that she had
the bag and turned it over to the
detectives. When 1t was examined
by the Albrights at police headquar-
ters they said that diamond ring,
valued at $500, was missing, while
Pullman ticket belonging, it was
said, to Mrs. Ridley, was inside the
bag. She denied that she had open
ed the bag or had any idea what it
contained. She declared that she
had found the bag on the car and
had intended to turn it over to rail-
road officers here upon her arrival.
She had not cared, she said, to give
1t to the trainmen, as she preferred
to hand 1t to "some more responsi-
BILE officials"
Mrs. Ridley told the police that
she was on her way to East Orange,
where her son-in-law, A. L. Ensler,
is seriously i'll. With her were the
two Ensler children, who had been
visiting their grandmother in At
lanta. The police, after making the
arrest, communicated with the Ems
ler family, and the latter's lawyer
appeared to arrange for bail.
The Albrlghts and Mrs. Ridley
were passengers from the South on
che same sleeping car. Mrs. AL
bright missed her handbag soon af-
ter leaving Washington and reported
her loss to the conductor. That Off
cial, little later, saw the missing
bag inside Mrs. Ridley's purse and
telegraphed the Newark authorities.
