Action Follows Estrangement as Re
suit of Letter by Pastor

Charles P. Taft has. resigned from
the board of trustees of the Church
of the Covenant at Cincinnati In
his letter Mr.. Taft also asked to, be re-
leased as one of those guaranteeing the
salary of the pastor, the Rev. Robert l..
Watson.
The action of Mr.. Taft was the out
growth. of an enlargement between
himself and DR.. Watson, which had its
origin in personal letter, written to
a Chicago minister by the Rev. Mr..
Watson previous to the presidential
election, in which the latter expressed
regret at the liberal religious views of
William H. Taft
About month ago Mrs. c. P. Taft

information About the South Carolina
Senator Being Interested in Western
Lands and the shadowing by Detec-
tIves Contained in a Communication
from President Roosevelt to Senator
Hale.
Senator Tillman is the latest indivi-
dual to feel the effects of president
Roosevelt's big stick" and the mat
ter is causing sensation.
BY direction of President Roosevelt
secret service men Swallowed Senator
Tilllnan on the theory that he posi-
bly, was interested in an Oregon land
grab" and the result of that investiga
ton is now before the senate.
The information. about the secret
service men and Tillman was con-
tanned in a communication from Pres
ident Roosevelt sent in response to a
request made by Senator Hale to the
heads of the executive departments for
a statement of the activities of secret
service operatives.
Exhaustive replies were made by the
various departments and all of these
were forwarded TO Senator Hale by the
president
What TiIIman Said in Senate.
The president does not charge Mr..
Tillman with any frauds, but shows
that he used his official position in a
way to advance his private interests.
The letter says thai February IS,
1908, Senator Tillman, in open senate,
after discussing the contents of cir
cular regarding land operations in Ore
gon, which connected his name with
the transaction, said:
81 have not bought any land any
where in the west, nor have / under
taken to buy any. ] have made some
inquiries, as one naturally would in
roaming through the west. simply
want the people of the country to put
on notice that this swindler of Port
land has no warrant whatever for en-
deavoring to inveigle others into his
game"
Quotes Letter from Tillman
In the papers submitted to the pres
ident is letter written by Senator
Tillman October 20, 1907, to the people
who were exploiting the land in ques-
ton, in which he said:
81 wired you from NASSAU, Wis. as
follows. and write to confirm it: Will
liam E. Lee, my agent, will see you
about land. / want nine quarters re
served Will forward signed applica-
lions and money at once. Members of
, my family are entrymen. Letters fol-
lows. B. r.. T..
81 write now to say wired Mr.
Lee, who resides at Moscow, Idaho. to
60 at once to Marshfield and see you
about land and to locate quarters for
seven members of my family who are
of age and one for my private secre-
! tary, J. B. Knight whom desire to
let into the deal, and of course he
wants quarter for himself"
TiIIman's Telegram in Hand.
The president submits to the senate
the original telegram sent from Was
sau October 10 with deadhead stamp
| by B. R Tillman and addressed to
Reeder e Watkins at Marshfield, Ore,
real estate agents who were engaged
in exploiting the land mentioned in
the circular which Mr.. Tillman de-
nounced in the senate few months
later.
The presidents letter then shows
that the land in question could not be
sold as desired without action in con-
gress 1t is shown Mr. Tillman was
depended on to put through the nee
essary action.

They are great travellers and can walk faster than we should imagine. They are also good climbers. I have watch ed one for hours climbing up and down the rocky sides of a desert mountain. He could wriggle himself up to a rock almost as high as he was long. kaising himself on his tail end. he would use his head as a hook, then claw with his right leg until 1t had secured a good hold. then. with what seemed to me extraordinary strength. he would lift himself up and wiggle his body into a secure posi- ficn n
