policy Not Known.

Just what President Taft's policy in
the Indian office will be is matter
of much conjecture among those who
have been following the ups and
downs of that bureau for the past six
years. Commissioner Leupp, who is a
thorough going Roosevelt man and
under whose administration the office
was taken away from the politicians
and placed on a business basis, has
expressed a longing to be away from
the cares of political life.
Pursuant to his determination, he
turned in his resignation to President
Taft. March 6, when Ballinger became
secretary of the interior. 1t is I'M
derstood that Leupp would be willing
to serve for while if this were ne
cessary to ensure the perpetuallty or
the reforms that he has instituted and
that his resignation was. turned in i'll
order to relieve the new administra-
ton of any possible embarrassment in
case it was desired to make a change.
President Taft Immediately returned
Leupp's resignation with the request
that it be withheld "for while"

Schively, the deputy was for three
months just previous to the failure of
the company. president and one of the
members of the board of trustees. For
this period he drew pay as deputy in
surance commissioner.
Appearing before the grand Jury to-
day were Lloyd E. Candy. the receiver
who wound up the affairs of the COM
pany, and Ellis lie Master, an expert
accountant, who examined the books.
The examination of the two witnesses
occupied the entire day, and it will re-
quire several days more to complete
the inquiry, owing to the mass of docu-
ments to be reviewed
The records produced before the
grand jury show that the association
was organized in December. 1894. In
September, 1897, Candy was appointed
receiver on complaint of Dan Donovan
who charged that the company had re-
fused to pay $500 policy he carried
horse.
The report submitted today show
that when Candy was appointed the
amount of insurance written by the
company was s3,5OO,0OO and the amount
owed for unpaid losses was $4,000.
while its assets were practically worth
less notes. The face value of these
was $4,000, but Candy in his report
said they We're worth no more than $50
Schively served on the board three
months and half, from July to Octo-
Der Is, 1906, and drew $2,597 in COM
missions. During the 26 months SER
vice of the other trustees the follow
ing commissions were drawn:
J. B. Schrock, $23395; w. M. Hunter.

A receiver was first asked for in
March, 1907, five months after Schive-
ly left the company. While he was
acting the trustees were drawing the
big commissions.
1t is expected that Milo A. Root, for
mer judge of the supreme court, will

Attorney General Wickersham. He

On Business Basis.

The department of the interior is
going to be run on a strictly bust
ness basis while Richard A. Ballinger
is directing its affairs This much has
become apparent to the politicians
who have swarmed into Washington
by the hundreds in an effort to get
some of the land office positions that
are being given away.
Ballinger has issued instructions
that no inspectors are to be appointed
until they have demonstrated their
fitness for the work.
One of the most terrible blows to
the politicians came last week when
he directed the governors of the ter
ritoris to stay at home and attend to
their business. 1t had been the Gus
tom of the governors of the territories
to come to Washington every win

from the territories have long OBJ
jected to this, contending that they
were elected to represent their constit-

governors interfered with their work.
The governors, particularly Curry,

case in which the railroad abandoned
its defense of the governments suit,
reconveyed the land and paid trespass
damages at the rate of eight cents a

government will regain possession of
lands worth over a half billion dol

London, Oct 6-Coincident with
the installation of President Lowell

Whitlaw Reid presided at the
ceremonies with which the Harvard

Crane Off for China.

Special to The Herald
New York, Oct. 6.-CharIes F.
Crane of Chicago, the new Minister
to China, sailed today for his post.
He will take the Trans Siberian rail-
road across Asia and will arrive in
Pekin early next month.
1t is expected that Mr. Crane will
be valuable ally to President Taft
in carrying out his eastern policy,
which is one of progress and develop
ment. This policy was announced
by Mr.. Taft in a speech he made at
Shanghai while touring the world,
and which has become almost a
classic as representing the CONNER
cial alliance between the United
States and the Dragon Empire
According to that speech, the
president is opposed to the adop-
ton of the colonial policy in the op-
ening OF China. To him the open
door has a broad meaning, which
unselfishly looks beyond the posi-
bilities of trade to the future life
81 the empire In the mind of the
president it is not alone necessary
to the future of the Chinese Empire
that all her resources of wealth and
government be developed upon the
broadcast lines He feels emphati
cally that policy which looks to the
enlargement Of trade to the dwarf
ing of the growth of the country
traded with is short sighted and
lacking in the elements of friendly
cooperation which he desires the
United States to assume toward
China and her growth.
Mr. Crane has been told in the
strongest language that it is the de
sire OF the United States to lend as
sistance to China along the highway
of development which she is tread
ing. His instructions also contain
strong disapprOval of the idea that
the retarding of the development of
China viii in any way work in the
interest of commerce in the future.
