BRANDS STORY A FABRICATION
President Sends Special Message e
the Senate on the Controller
Bay Affair."

hington.-President Taft sent
special message to the senate Oh
Wednesday shouldering full RESPONSE
bility for opening for settlement and
development 1880 acres of the Chu-
zach national forest reserve in
Alaska-an incident which has be-
come to be known as the Controller
bay affair" In concluding he brands
the now famous Dick to Dick" post
script as a wicked fabrication" and
says that Charles P. Taft, whose name
appeared in the alleged postscript,
has no interest in Alaska, never had,
and knows nothing of the circum-
stances connected with this transac-
ton" Moreover. the president adds.
his brother does not even remember
that he ever met Richard s. Ryan, rep
resenting the Controller Bay & Navi-
cation company.
As for eliminating the land in ques-
ton from the reserve, the president
says that there is no danger of the
Controller Railway and Navigation
company or any other interests mon
opolizing the field, and nothing to
show that this company Is in any way
connected with the Morgan-Guggen
helm interests. Hence he believes
that in eliminating the land he has
acted for the best interests of the ma.
ton.

ALL OVER IN A WEEK
WILLIAMS STAY IN BOARDING.
HOUSE SHORT AND SWEET.
Gave Every Evidence Of Being es.
perienced Boarder and His Smart
Sayings and Msnnerisms Were
Talk Of House.

When young Mr.. Williams came To
our boarding house II was plain TO
every one that this was not his first
experience at boarding.
In fact. his actions seemed TO indi.
cate that he was old and experienced
in the life OF boarding. and that he
had come to us from some other
boarding house. or possibly from "a
succession OF them.
II was shown in the apiomb with
which he assured Mrs Hicks that he
invariably paid his board on pay day
and that his pay day came on Satur-
day. ignoring her somewhat distorted
statement that she insisted on pay In
advance in every case.
IL was further shown in the way
he skilfully Tipped the covering OF
the bed in his hall bedroom and ap-
praised the condition OF the sheets
with judicial eye. his opinion. good
or bad. being represented by non
commital grunt.
He was normal young man, was
Mr.. Williams. He had just the nor
NAL amount OF baggage His face was
so nearly normal that people he knew
would forget 10 speak TO him. He
was OF medium height and weight,
and so far as we could see had but
one suit OF clothes. and that an ordi-
nary dusty. brownish gray
His appetite. too. proved normal.
He had typical boarding house appe-
lite that pushed aside those things Il
did not want and insisted on a double
supply OF those II did. IL was a dis
eliminating appetite that refused TO
accept things the nature OF which did
not appear on the surface
Immediately after supper Mr.. VII
liams sat on the front steps and re-
garded fellow boarders with specula.
tive eye. Being a normal boarder. with
what might be called an abnormal
nerve. he easily decided that Miss
Amy Crothsweight. who was stenog.
rapher in the roller mills office. was
the only one OF us worthy Of his at.
tention. And in fifteen minutes he
and Miss Amy went Tor walk. head
ing. OF course. toward the drug store

herself upon her dignity.
When they came back Mr. Williams
had some chewing gum. which he
passed about.

Williams had become somewhat chum.

Toward the end OF the week Mrs.
Hicks was taking an unusual interest
In Mr.. Williams. She quoted him TO
the girls. and would tell the boys how
smart he was.
He was the most Negotiating per.
son. was young Mr. Williams. and. as
everybody got to liking him. his say
ings and mannerisms were the talk
OF the house.
On Saturday he did not appear at
the table. Mrs. Hicks said he was
called out of town. He didn't come
back either.
His trunk was hauled by Jim. the
porter. to the junk room. and We did
the best we could to forget him. We
nave often wondered II he went
abroad. or was killed by a motor
cycle. but have never learned.
It's always that way. for people

WIFE OF OFFICER
FAILS TO RETRACT'
Suit of Lieut.. Reed Not End
ed by Compromise.

near this city, are greatly Interested
in steps that were taken a few days
ago to bring about a compromise of the
suit filed by Lieut. Reed against the
wife of Capt Eames. and some surprise
had been manifested that nothing has
come of the negotiations. Lieut.. Reed
sued for $4,000 damages, charging that
Mrs. Eames had virtually accused him
at a reception in her home OF having
appropriated money belonging to the
government to his own use.
1t is said that Capt Eames, soon after
the suit was filed, indicated that Mrs
Eames was willing to make a retraction.
and that he was told by a representative
of Lieut.. Reed that there was no dis
position to insist upon money consid-
Grafton If a settlement wholly eXonerat-
ing Reed could be made. 1t was under
stood from this that Reed would regard
retractiOn and apology sufficient, but
the parties to the negotiations did not
reach the point of discussing the exact
language to be used in the retraCtion.
When the conference ended it was un-
derstood that Capt. Eames would see
Mrs. Eames and would return for an
other conference. He did not return, but
left the city in a day or two, and is now
in the East. The officers at the post do
not know whether an apology is to be
made or whether Mrs. Eames caused the
negotiations TO be broken off.

SPIRITS AND OTHER THINGS.
PhiIosophic Expedition OF ths
"Auran of the Human Befnx.

A PhfIosophic Expos1t1on OF th0
"Aura" of the Human BeinE.
From the New York Tribune
The statement that a physician a* Cnil
cago has seen the spirit leave the body
Of a dying man is sure to be pretty
widely condemned az self-contradictory.
If the observer saw something which
he took to be the spirit, that fact would
prove that 1t was not the spirit. tn the
opinion of the great majority. who hold
that a spirit Is essentially imperceptibls
to material senses. He may have seem
something depart from the body at the
moment Of death or shortly afterward.
II he did, the phenomenon was interest,".
ing, but susceptible Of q purely physical
explanation.
The explanation is, indeed, suggested
by the further and not at all incredible
statement that this same physician has
repeatedly seen and enabled others to-
see the so-called AURA which is be-i
lieved to surround every human body.
It Is a familiar doctrine Of physiology
that every living person Is constantly
surrounded by a physical but invisible
emanation, sometimes called ''inHsibls
perspiration." It is equally well known
that there Is also a continual radiation
of heat-a physical phenomenon-from
the body. These emanations arc invisi-
tIe to the unaided eye, Just as air Is,
but they are none the less physical In
essence, and 1t is credible that they may,
through the use OF mechanical or other
devices, be made visible.
This laura" might be expected to
vary in volume, in color, and in other
respects, according to the physical con-
dition and temperament of the persons
from whom it proceeded. It might also
be expeceed to contain, at least in some
cases, certain electrical properties, and
also actinic energy. The latter Is
strongly suggested by the experience
which countless photographers have had.
OF bodily emanations as well as contact
affecting the chemicals on a sensitized
plate
This emanation proceeds from only
living bodies, and therefore ceases at or
soon after death. just as the bodily heat
subsidies. 1t is entirely conceivable,
therefore, that II the laura" can be
made visible, 1t will be seen in the case
of a dying person to fade and vanish.
1t will, in the words Of the Chicago OBJ
server, spread from the body and dis
appear, and further observation OF the
corpse will reveal no sign Of It, Just as
examination would reveal no sign Of
bodily heat or beating Of the pulse. To
say that It Is the spirit, and that its dis
appearance is the flight OF life, Is. how
ever, to verge upon the fantastic. Tho
aura" is not the spirit, nor tho current
OF life, nor the guiding power, but .
product thereof. no less physical In orr
gin and character than the warmth
which radiates from the body or the
which exudes IN visible
liquid drops upon the skin The physi-
cal perception of the laura. Is an inter-
esting and ingenious achievement, which
may have no little practical value. but
It is In no sense a revelation of the soul
or discovery Of the ultimate secret Of
human life.

BANDIT HOLDS UP
UTAH TROLLEY CAR
Mail Clerk Shot Through
Hand When He Resists.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 6.-The at
tempt of a desperate to hold up a car
load of pleasure seekers returning from
Salt Air Pavilion late last night resulted
in slight injury to several passengers and
the defeat of the robber, who escaped
with little booty. Several shot were fired
and a young man who grappled with the
hold-up man was shot through the hand
AS the train slackened speed just before
reaching the city limits, a slender figure
jumped out of che grass and sprang upon
the running board, at the side of the
open car. There was the sharp crack of
a pistol and a bullet shattered a lamp
IN the car. A shot graZed the ear OF
Mrs Thomas Hedder who sat with her
husband.
The revolver then rested against
Hedders breast.
Here, you get out on this board and
gather in the shekels before 1 blow your
- head off, commanded the hold-up.
Hedder climbed from his seat and be-
came an unwilling accomplice in the
crime. The two passed along the run
ming board. Hedder went through the
pockets Of fifteen or twenty of his fel-
low-passengers, dutifully handing the
loot to the bandit. They collected several
watches and about $50 in money.
Cleveland Porter, a railway mail clerk
from Ogden, made jump for the bandit
his gun. In the struggle Porter
was shot through his right hand, and
both combatants fell from the moving
car. The robber then fled.
