Morgan Guggenheim Repre-

Washington, Feb fs-The interesting
spectacle of the n-CTuggenheirn syn
dicate, through legal representatives ap-
pearing before a Congress committee to
justify its operations in the development Of
industries in Alaska packed the room of
the Senate Committee on Territories to-
day
Several days ago Senator Beverdge
ceived a letter from ]. P. Morgan & Co.
asking permission to send representatives
TO answer "exa ggerated reports printed in
the magazines and newspapers of the work
OF the syndicate formed by that company
and the Messrs. Guggenheim. The per
mission was given, and to-day John N
Steele, general counsel for the syndicate.
and Stephen Birch. the managing director.
appeared.
Mr. Birch testified that all the money
spent in the enormous development Of Alas
kan resources had been furnished by the
syndicate itself; that the Morgan Guggen-
refm syndicate had not issued to the pub
lie single bond or a share Of stock; that
the syndicate had never received anything
from the government in money. grants Of
land or special rights.
The syndicate owned one railroad and
one copper mine in Alaska and had no in
terest in any other. It owned no coal lands.
Testimony was given regarding nesotla-
tions for the Cunningham claims, but II
was said that these hinged upon patents
being issued for the claims. and thar the
negotiations had come to nothing
The syndicate was formed in 1906 by the
purchase of 10 per cent of the stock OF the
Northwestern Commercial Company, which
owned the Northwestern Steamship COM
pany and the Northwestern Fisheries Com
pany. The latter company packs 3ooNo
cases of salmon annually. as compared
with a pack of 100000 cases by other in
terests Last year the Alaska Steamship
Company was formed by reorganizing the
companies in which the syndicate had
bought large interests. and it now operates
twelve steamers. or rather eleven ds re-
merits to-day Indicate that one has been

il. which the Alaskan syndicate has no in
terest was given in support OF us cidiii
that il was not monopoly
Both Messrs. Steele and Birch insisted
that there was no truth in reports that the
syndicate had or was seeking monopoly
of railroads, steamship lines. fisheries. cop
per mines and coal lands in Alaska They
denied with great emphasis that they were
trying to gobble up Alaska
Mr. Birch denied that Ex-Governor hog
gait. Major Richardson or Delegate Wick
ersham ever had been authorized to act as
lobbyists for the syndicate
Asked by Senator Beveridge concerning
the syndicate's interest in the coal land
claims. Mr Birch replied that the Messrs-
Guggenheim had agreed to form a $4,000 600
corporation TO develop the lands, one-half

Washington. Feb. 1S--Although the State
Department officials decline 70 comment on
the action Of Russia, Great Britain and
Japan in protesting TO China against ber
prohibition OF the expectation Of grain
from Manchuria, the fact is recalled that
from time inanemorial the Chinese govern
ment has prohibited the expectation or
cereals This inhibition was against not
onlv The exportation Of grain TO foreign
countries, but was extended TO its trans
shipment from one province TO another.
This policy Of the Chinese government was
based on the fact that, except in rare in
stances. al the cereal products Of China
were needed for consumption within the
empire and only in cases OF crop failure in
certain sections were wheat, rice and other
grains permitted 70 be shipped out Of the
provinces where they were grown.
About g year ago, however, the Chinese
government consented TO allow the expor-
tarion Of cereals from Manchuria, but re-
served the right TO reimpose the restriction
at any time This concession on the part OF
The Peking government was in the form
Ct q customs order, and il is understood
here that China did not obligate herself TO
continue the concession beyond the time
when the government should decide that
the interests Of IT'S people demanded its
cancellation

NEU POSTAL Plan.
Complete Reorganization Of
Department Proposed.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau ]

WASHINGTON. Feb. fs-A complete reor-
ranization of the Postoffice Department
along the lines recommended by the Postal
Commission is provided for in bill in
,roduced in the House to-day by Repre-
sentative Weeks. of Massachusetts
similar measure was introduced last year
rv REPRESENTATIVE Overstreet. but because
of the decentralization OF the committee no
action was taken Representative Weeks
and a majority of the committee favcr tho
general provisions of the bill. and it IS PIE
djcted that it will be favorably reported.
In general terms the bill. which Is
voluninous measure provides that the
country be divided into fifteen mail dis
tricts. each under the direction Of a super
intendent. This official will have entire
Jurisdiction over his district. and will re-
port to the Postmaster General each year.
The transportation of mails will be under
director of posts II ia Representative
WeeFs's idea that this official shall be
practical business man. whose salary shall
be sufficient 10 assure his real ability. \
new system of cost accounting is also pro
vided for and a redistribution of the Cleri-
cal work in the department among the
various bureaus
The bill has the nearly support of the
Postal Commission. and it's passage in the
not distant future seems probable Repre-
sentative Weeks will place the bill before
the committee next week
The Postoffice appropriation bill this year
carries s23a. .s12. .915. an increase OF 100000
over the current years appropriations. 1t
is however a decrease of s. 000.0 600 from the
final estimates Of the department for next

TAFT TO THE SOUTH.
Says Solution Of Race Problem
Rests on It's PrOsDey7tU.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-That the solution
Of the race problem rests on the prosperity
Of the South Is the opinion Of President
Taft. He took part tonight in conference
of educators and philanthropically disposed
men and women Of Washington on indus
trial education in the South at the home of
Miss Mabel T. Boardman
There are Two things working toward
the solution of the negro problem" said
the President, One is the development OF
interest among the better class of South
erners in the education Of the negro and a
consciousness Of the fact that nothing will
SO much help the South as such education.
The other important feature is the increase
of the wealth Of the South.
The South until the last decade had 4
dreadfully hard time to support the gov
eminent OF her states without education.
but now the South is getting richer. I am
delighted to have 15-cent cotton, whether it
be high or not, because it means the pros
perity of the South. the development of
her educational system and the working
out of the most difficult problem ever pre-.

vz--b+rz-on Feb 7S-The Secretary Of
s+.+. addressed a note to the British Am
hassador to-day expressing the desire OIL
+1,a T-nf+ed States TO take UP negotiations
looking to an adjustment OF tarlH rela-
tfons with the Dominion Of Canada Inc
note expressed the solicitude of the Presl-
dent over the situation and his desire IN
view OF the friendly relations that nave
always existed between the United States
and Canada. that an adjustment De
reached before March 81. when the maxi
mum provision of the tariff law goes into
effect
The note explained that the President
although having authority to act within
certain limits. could not proclaim the min
fn1urn rate until the tariff situation had
heen scrutinized by the experts and that
the Secretary Of State, in making his rec
onamendation. was obliged 10 base it on
facts which might require Interpretation
The State Department also expressed its
WILLINGNESS to meet the wishes OF Great
Britain in the manner of conducting the
neeotiations This may be done either
directly with the British Ambassador or
through a board representing Canada IN
Washington. It was intinated that, fol-
lowing the precedent established by other
countries in applying for the minimum
rate, the initiative in opening the negotia-
tions rests with Great Britain
So far the Canadian tariff has not been
considered ar all, and President Taft is
extremely anxious 70 have the whole mat
ter out OF the way to avoid any possibility
Of a commercial war with Canada which
might arise if an agreement we're not
reached before March 81. Secretary Knox
contempIates sending several tariff experts
inf a
recessary 10 the. negotiations. and the
American Consul General at Ottawa. John
C. Foster is now in Washington in con-
nection with the subject.

tons will be begun.
