Senator Miles Poindexter (Repn.1
Washington, to Introduce a sensation
al resolution In the Senate
The resolution demands that Presj-
dent Taft produce all records bearing
on the Controller Bay fling by James
j. Ryan and others connected with the
controller railroad and Navigation
Company
Poindexter IL convinced that II this
claim goes through, the Guggenheims
will control the only feasible outlet
for the coal. and have all the rail-
roads In their grasp
Only Available Harbor.
1t now seems svinent that the In
teresss which were seeking to n1onop-
oif2e the natural resources of ALASKA
were not dependent entirely upon one
method" said Poindexter to-i day. Con-
troll OF transportation and access to
these coal fields Is equivalent to con-
rol OF the coal itself The harbor Of
Controller Bay In the only available
deepwater within reasonable access OF
the coal fields. Realizing this fact.
the administration on February Is,
1908, withdrew that portion of the
shore lire OF Controller Bay, which was
essential for It's use as harbor.
However, on October 20, 1910 with
out notice, this shore line was re-
stored to public entry and b. presiden.

and before tho House was advised Of
this fact, James j. Ryan and Others
who are connected with the Control

sole practicable and available outlet
from the coal fields.
The rights 50 far have not vet
matured and in order that the fraudu-
lent monopoly. which was defeated by
the decision OF the Secretary of the
Interior In the Cunningham coal cases,
should not be acquired by means Of the
monopoly of Controller Bay ana in
order that the benefit that this very
excellent act OF the present admins
tration should not be entirely lost. the
status of these applications and all OF
the transactions leading up to them
should be made public"
Progressives in the Senate assert
that the law which provides that not
more than $50 acres of such land shall
be held In a common ownership, was
deliberately violated by the entrymen
and countenanced by the department
OF interior.
Poindexter's resolution calls for all
information from the departments OF
the interior, war and agriculture and
from the President.

politicians In the west, and a dele

ney Frank c. Cook In an interesting
will case now In progress in Judge
Murphy's court.
Speaking of the political conditions
In the west, Mr.. Clancy said: MIR.
Bryan has q great many friends, and
II still q strong man, but | do not
favor his candidacy for the presi-
dency again. Gov. Harmon. OF Ohio,
10 the most available man for the
position, and IL Is my opinion that
he will be the next Democratic candi-
date. He Is a big man. fit for the
position, safe and conservative. Any
man who was member OF Cleve-
lands cabinet will make safe can
didate, and Harmon is the pick of the
lot. He was a big lawyer, and Is a
big business man, quite capable OF
handling big things, and be shonld Dc
the next president Of the United
States"
The case which brings Mr.. Clancy
to Detroit Ii that OF Margaret Calvin
and others against Mrs. Anna Ryan

lifetime resided on Fourteenth-ave.
The property at stake amounts 70

widow did not want to see her son
