TRUST CONTROL
FOR ALASKAN COAL
Lease Without Regulation is
Taft's Policy
Sidestcps Government Operation of
Mines, as Advocated Throughout
States in West.

Chicago. Ill, Oct. 2S-President
Taft's policy regarding the develop
ment of the Alaskan coal fields, to-
day stands clearly outlined as defi-
nitely formulated last night in a
speech delivered before the American
Mining congress in this city, by
Walter Fisher. secretary of the de-
partment of the interior The people
will not receive any relief from the
present situation if the presidents
ideas are carried out.
The main points of the policy, as
given out by Secretary Fisher, are:
The leasing of Alaskan coal lands,
to private corporations, on a royalty
basis; no government operation of the
mines. except for model mine to
provide the navy with fuel; federal
ownership of a railway line, connect
ing opening a means of transportation
to one of the two important Alaskan
coal fields-either the Bering river
field or the Manuska section; no fed
eral regulation of prices at which
the coal shall be sold
Mr.. Fisher stated in his address
that President Taft approved this
plan.
Mr.. Fisher proposed that the gov
ernment purchase the Alaskan North
ern railroad and extend it to the Me-
tanuska fields, one hundred miles,
and ultimately open up the agricul-
tural districts. He said the owners
would sell
The program also pr V, 10, that all
existing lawful claims De recognized
and that all coal lands be subject to
a limited lease. with federal restric-
tions.
Addressing the American mining
congress today, President Taft endors-
ed the Alaskan policy of Walter
FISHER and said that Secretary Fisher
would win his lasting gratitude if
he could un,angle the Alaskan af-
fairs. SO that development could pro-
ceed
Mr.. Taft won't be able to vote in
the Cincinnati municipal election. He
mailed his registration papers but
they got there too late.

DARROW AND
COURT CLASH
Over Ruling That Belief of
Guilt Does Not Disqual-
ify a Juror.
WILL DEMAND new JUDGE
Bordwell Refuses TO Allow Attorney
for Mcnamara to Argue or Question
Venircmcn-Charg Court Disre-
CARDS Prisoners Rights.

Los Angeles, Calf, oct. 2S.-An
important point was today lost by the
defense in the trial of the McNa-
maras, when Superior Judge Bord-
well overruled the challenges of the
defense against Veniremen Winters,
Butcher and Hampton. Butcher had
admitted that he was prejudiced
against labor unions and Hampton,
who is a farmer, declared that he be-
lieved that the McNamaras were
guilty of destroying the Times build
Ing.
Judge Bordwell peremptorily re-
fused to allow Clarence Darrow, chief
counsel for the defense, to either
make an argument or further ques-
ton the men. His only resort now is
10 peremptorily challenge them.
As a result of the decision, which
they claim is extremely unjust the
attorneys for the defense will in all
likelihood make another demand for
a change in judges.
Judge Bordwell took up the chal-
lenge of the defense against Winter
and asked him regarding his speech
es against the unions two years ago.
While Winters did not deny the facts
brought out by the defense, the Judge
dlsallowed the challenge.
He did the same with Hampton and
saying that he had examined the rec
ord and did not believe that Hamp-
tons opinion that Nc. .amara was
guilty would dsqualify him to sit in
the case and decide whether or not
he was guilty after hearing the evi-
dence.
When Clarence Darrow attempted
to make an argument before the court
Judge Bordwell curtly cut him off,
saying:
II consider this matter a closed in
cident."
Darrow could do nothing else but
take his seat and he plainly showed
that he was deeply chagrined.
After Assistant Prosecutor Horton
had challenged Venreman Lee, who
was passed by the defense last night,
Judge Bordwell excused him on the
grounds that he was bias
District Attorney Fredericks at

row insisted and finally Frederlcks
asked them a couple of questions.
Davis, attorney for the defense
then quickly examined them, re-di-

implied bias and after bitter inter
change Of lawyers, Judge Bordwel
said he would rule on the challenge
Monday.
Davis ELECTED from the two We
niremen that they would not hang Il
man on circums'antial evidence, ther
he challenged them.
Horton argued that he challenged
them too late and must be overruled
Scott answered bitterly: "TherC
