of the Interior Ballinger and Richard
S. Ryan Of New York, a representa-:
tive Of the Guggenhetm interests-to

the committee to explain what he
knows about the matter, and Repre-,
sentative Cox, of Indiana, one Of the
democratic leaders Of the house, In,
troduced resolution calling on Pres.
tdent Taft for. all the Information
he can furnish on the subject.
The Cox resolution requests Pres:
ident Taft to submit all papers and
information in his possession relating.
to his executive order OF July 23.:
1910, restoring to public domain the
lands surrounding Controller Bay;
It sets forth published charges in--.

induced the president Of the United.
States to sign the order. 5.:s:: -
It points out that through this Or
der the Guggenheim syndicate
"has now or will get control OF Com
troller Bay or harbor, "and requests
the president to advise the house
whether Messrs. Ryan and Ballin-
ger and c. P. Taft induced him to
sign the order restoring Controller
Bay land to public domain, which
previously had been set aside as q:
national forest reserve whether the
president had information that Ryan
was working in the interest OF the:
Guggenheim syndicate.
.I am going to push this resolu--.

house. There is something radical

to secure control Of this coal land.
They fled on the Controller bay land.
the only available harbor through
which the Alaskan coal can be ship
ped before the government could eV-

dents order Withdrawing it from
the Chugash reserve.
tsFailing to secure the land, they
have now gone after the only means
of transporting coal and with rais-
road from the coal lands to Con-
troller bay they could absolutely dc
tate to the owners Of the coal land"
Representative Graham, chairman OF
the interior department, expenditures
committee, also has been looking In
to the matter. According to the be-
lief here and in Alaska, Ryan, In
his efforts to obtain railroad termt-
