London, Sept. 22.-An afternoon
paper today advances the theory that
the announcements Of Cook and
Peary are the result of the explorers
learning that a British expedition
reached the north pole. The paper
suggests that Peary and Cook may
have rushed back to civilization to.
forestall the announcement of the
success of the British explorers The
paper doesn't name the British ex-
pedition to which it refers. The ru-.

New Orleans, Sept. 22.-Refugees
arriving here from the southwest
coast Of Louisiana state there is no less
than three hundred lives lost in the
tidal wave which swept the Gulf
Coast Monday night. and Tuesday.
Scores OF fishermen were caught and
1t is believed the list will be greatly in
creased when reports from other dis
tricts are received. Forty are known
to have losa their lives according 10
reports received from Memphis. The
property loss Will exceed five mil
lions. The greatest loss is in Missis-
sippi and Louisiana.
Crops, are Damaged.
The cotton and rice crops are ruin
ed. and the railroads paralysed.
The Louisiana coast is irregular and
dotted with plantations which are
leveed to protect them from the gulf
water. II Is feared those escaping
destruction hold starving colonies Of
planters and their families whom IL
will be difficult to reach.
Scores Of Lives Lost.
The tidal wave inundated the
homes OF five thousand fishermen
and planters. Few telephones are
working. The disaster is the worst
that ever visited the coast. In New
Orleans alone three hundred city
blocks are submerged and scores OF
lives were lost. but only a search win
reveal the number. The thirty dead
reported yesterday will be increased
today. Property loss in Alabama Is
almost as great as the loss in Louisi-
ana. Later today the death list was
increased to forty -and II is certain
scores of vessels were lost.
Fear For Pleasure Seekers.
The storm reached a velocity of so
miles an hour. 1t is feared that
number OF pleasure seekers at the
beaches were lost. Many were out on
the gulf, and also on the Mississippi
river when the storm struck. A
house was lifted from its foundations |
and blown into the river. The
French section of this city was almost |
entirely wrecked. Four hundred pas
sengers. marooned two days, arrived |
last evening half starved.

Pardee Makes Statement.

Los Angeles. Cal, Sept. 21.-For.
mer Governor George C. Pardee, OF
California, who returned from Sar
Clemente island last nignt in COM
pany with Clifford Pinchot, chief for
ester of the United States, gave a
statement regarding the declarations
made in the letter of President Taft
to Secretary of the Interior Ballinger,
exonerating that official from charg-
es made by L. r. CLAWS, chief of the
| field work of the general land office
at Seattle. Former Governor Par
dee was referred 10 in the Taft letter
as one of those who had criticized
the policy of the interior department.
Governor Pardee in his statement
says:
Having read with interest and
care the presidents vindication OF
Secretary Ballinger. the first thought
that suggests itself to me is that
about the only persons who wsll re-
joice over it are those few who de-
sire to monopolize, to the detriment
Of the many power sites, coal lands
and the like.
'I noticed particularly the presi-
dents declaration that in his judg-
ment The best friend of the policy of
conservation of natural resources is
he who insists that every step should
be taken within the law and but
tressed by legal authority
Hopes No Reflection Intended.
II take II that this is not intended
as a reflection on the official acts of |
former President Roosevelt and for
mer Secretary Garfield, who with
drew from entry public lands which |
Secretary Ballinger afterward restor- |
ed to entry on the ground, | am in |
formed, that there was no specific |
law for Garfields action. According |
to common report, President Taft
himself directed Secretary Ballinger
to re-withdraw from entry certain
lands which originally were with
drawn by Garfield, Ballinger had re-
stored to entry. Any intimation,
therefore, that Garfield was not act
ing within the law and was not but
tressed by legal authority when to
save power sites he withdrew the
lands which Ballinser afterward re-
stored, is of course, a reflection on
he president. 1t is unfortunate that
very frequently the efforts of one
Kind Of legal authority 'butressed' the
Efforts of those who desire to grab
md monopolize coal lands and power
iites, 'Butressed' by legal authority
Garfield, in order to prevent the mo-
lopolization of power sites, withdrew
rom entry millions of acres of pub /
ic lands. Ballnger also thus but
ressed' restored these lands to entry
nd by so doing gave the monopolists
n opportunity to ply their voca-
ion."

Opposes Direct Income Tax.

The president said he opposed a di-
rect income tax except in cases of me-
cessity ana he believed it to be a prime
fault of the federal constitution that
no provision is made to meet extraor-
dinary expenses. Mr.. Taft declared
that it was the supreme court decls-
ion declaring unconstitutional the in
come tax law passed by a democratic
congress some years ago that prevent
ed the leaders in congress during the
session recently closed from including
in the corporation tax measure a pro-
vision for a levy upon bonds and bond
holders. To tax bonds would result
in the reduction of the rate of inter-
est and hence would be a direct tax
upon the individual holders of the
bonds.

Corporation Tax.

| At Denver last night President Taft
switched from his purpose to discuss
the conservation of natural resources,
took up the corporation tax and de-
Tended it as against the proposition 10
impose a direct income tax which ne
said seemed likely to pass the senate
when the corporation tax was devised
rs a compromise. The president
strongly urged. however, that the
states ratify the proposed income tax
amendment to the constitution in Or
der TO make such a tax available In
time of necessity.
Mr.. Taft was joined in Denver by
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger,
v 40 will accompany him on a part OF
the trip through the far northwest.
Desires Further Conference.
1t is thought that the president de-
sires further conference with Mr..
Ballinger. whose conduct of the inter-
ior department he recently upheld in
long letter, before making a final
expression of the policy of the admin
istration as to the conservation of
natural resources. Mr.. Taft will
not take up that subject un-
til he reaches Salt Lake where he
spends Saturday and Sunday or he |
may wait until he reaches Spokane. !

WILL GET IN TOUGH
WITH Mr.. WILLIAMS.
AmeriCuS Interested in Sea-
boards Future.
Hope For Better Things
For This City After
Reorganization.

Now that the destiny of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway is back in the
hands of Mr.. John Shelton Williams
and his friends, and that corporation
is soon to be out of the hands of the
receivers, and It's operation controlled
entirely by the Williams interests
again, it is hoped that Americus will
be profited by the change and that
greater attention will be paid to this
point as one of the important freight
and passenger stations on the road.
To the end that Mr. Williams may
have the claims of Americus brought
before him in proper form a petition
Is to be circulated. In the name of the
Americus Board of Trade, among the
business men of the city, urging Mr..
Williams to protect and promote the
interests of Americus.
The petition will be signed by prob
ably all of the business men of the
city and will thoroughly represent
publAG ncnIluISuL H6ES.
Mr.. Williams attention will be call
ed to the Importance of the Seaboard's s
shops here to the business interests of
the city, and to the fact that the force
working there Is not what it was in
former years. He will be urged to, as
soon as practicable, assist Americus
by increasing the working force here.
Other matters of interest and i'm
portance to the city will be brought to
his attention in respectful way The
good feelings existing for many years
between Americus and the Seaboard
will be laid stress upon, and a con-
tinuatlen of this harmony of interests
urged.
1t is hoped that when the reorgan-
iZation OF the properties of the Sea-
board is completed that Mr.. Williams
can be induced to visit Americus. 1t
is regarded as probable that he will be
making tour of inspection of the en-
tire Seaboard lines and he will be cor
daily invited to take advantage of
any opportunity that offers to stop
over here and meet the business men
and see at first hand the progress the
city has made since his former visit
here.
