PRESIDENT TAFT REFUTES
CONTROLLER BAY CHARGES
Message to the Senate Fully Explains the Trans
action and Dsnounces the Attack on Chief
Executive and His Brother as Wiful
and Malicious Falsehood.

Observation-Disclosures Taft sent
10 the senate Wednesday a message
that recalled some of those received
from his predecessor. 1t was in re-
ply to a resolution of the senate re-
questing the president to transmit to
the senate all the documents relating
to the elimination from the Chugach
national forest, in Alaska, of land
fronting upon Controller bay. Mr..
Taft seizes the occasion occasion to
make a vigorous defense of his own
honor and that of his brother, Charles
p. Taft, against the attacks made in
relation to this Controller bay scan
DIAL"
The president Sent in all the docu-
ments asked for, and more, and
quotes the executive order in ques-
ton, by which 1880 acres were
eliminated from the national forest.
His message describes the import
ance Of Controller bay as a railway
terminal and relates the operations OF
the Copper River railroad, owned by
the Morgan-Guggenheim interests,
whose terminal is at Cordova.
Ryan's Application investigated.
In December, 1909, Richard S.
Ryan applied for the Controller bay
elimination, afterward granted, stat
ing hat he represented the Controller
Railroad and Navigation company.
Mr.. Talt tells how this application was
referred to the district foresters at

Graves; how the navy department
stated it did not desire to use Con-
troller bay as a reservation; how the
matter was considered fully by the
forestry bureau, the secretary of ag-
riculture, the secretary Of the inter
Tor, the general land Office and the
cabinet. AS a result, after an inter
view between the president and Mr..
Ryan. an order was drafted eliminat-
ing 800 acres.
Meanwhile Mr.. Ryan had satisfied
the president and other officials that
he and his associates had no connec-
ton with the Morgan-Guggenheim in
terests and were engaged in an in
dependent enterprise in good faith to
build an Independent railroad. The
question again came before the cab
met, and the president, with the ap-
prevail of the secretaries Of the in
terror and agriculture, changed the
order so that it eliminated 1880
acres, with sufficient room for a
railroad town. The message says:
81 was willing to do this because
found the restrictions In the law suf-
ficient to prevent the possibility of
any monopoly Of either the uplands
or the harbor or channel by the Con
troller Railroad and Navigation COM
pany or any other person or con-
Germ" These restrictions the presi-
dent sets forth at length, and shows
that the Ryan company has not the
slightest opportunity for exclusive
appropriation of the harbor facilities
unless congress shall by future act
deliberately and voluntarily confer it.
The "Dick to Dick" Letter.
Coming to the personal side of the
matter, Mr.. Taft says:
Before closing, l desire to allude to
a circumstance which the terms OF
this resolution make apt and relevant.

that he will not refer outside school
teachers to school officers of the
Brown county schools until the supply

home teachers are more numerous this
year than is ordinarily the case, and
the demand for teachers from other
states is not so large.

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum and

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass.
"A package of Postum was sent me

that there was no coffee for breakfast

tributed to a newspaper correspondent
that in an examination Of the files OF
the interior department a few weeks
ago a postscript was found attached
to a letter Of July IS. 1910, addressed
by Mr.. Richard S. Ryan to Secretary
Ballinger-and in the present record
urging the elimination of land
enough for terminals for the Control
Ter Railway & Navigation company.
The postscript was said to read as fol-
lows:
Dear Dick: l want to see the presi-
dent the other day. He asked me
who it was l represented. l told him
according TO our agreement, hat |

Places the Blame.
The person upon whose statement
the existence of what has been proper
ly characterized as an amazing post
script is based, is a writer for newspa-
pers and magazines, who was given
permission by Secretary Fisher, after
consulting with me, to examine all the
files in respect TO the Controller Bay
matter-and this under the supervision
of Mr.. Brown, then private secretary
OF the secretary Of the interior.
After the examination, at which 1t
is alleged this postscript was re-
ceived from the hand Of Mr.. Brown,
the correspondent prepared an elab-
crate article on the subject Of
this order and Controller Bay,
which was submitted to Mr.. Fisher.
and which was discussed with Mr..
Fisher at length, but never in the con-
versation between them or in the arti-
Gle submitted did the correspondent
mention the existence of the post
script. Mr.. Brown states that there
was no such postscript in the papers
when he showed them TO the CORE
spondent and that he never Va such
a postscript. Similar evidence is
given by Mr.. Carr and other custOdians
of the records In the interior depart
ment.
Stronger evidence Of the falsity and
maliciously slanderous character of the
alleged postscript could not be had.

CITY BUYS WATER CO.'S
DISTRIBUTING PLANT
WILL TAKE POSSESSION WHEN
READY TO CONNECT WITH
LAWLER SYSTEM.
.CITY's $4,000 BONDS SOLD
Provides Money for Sewers, Extension
OF Water Mains and Wires for
Light Distribution
System.

The city council atScafled meeting
late Yesterday afternoon, and which
continued until late last nighi. con
cluded negotiations with the Bryan
Water, Light & Power Company by
closing a deal with it for its entire
water distribution system. The pur-
chase includes all mains, laterals.
meters, standpipe, pumps, pipes and
other materials on hand that can be
used by the city in the municipal wa
ter system. The price to be paid is
sI2,e25.
! The city is to take possession of the
property when it is ready to connect
with the Lawler system. That is after
Mr.. Lawler gets his plant in operation
and Is ready to begin pumping from
the city's wells now being drilled by
Lane & Bowler on the city's property
Immediately north of the ice factory.
Mr.. Preston, of the water company,
guarantees to turn the property over
to the city at that time in as good con-
dition as it is now.
This appears to be another long
stride forward, removes all complica-
tionA confusion and friction between
the two water systems,i and frees the
city from the contract with the water
company that has been the source of
much trouble and vexation of spirit
in the past.
The members Of the council believe
the purchase good thing for the city
for many reasons. They say the pur-
chase price, s12.625, comes from the
people, and that in the three years the
contract with the water company yet
has to run before it expires they can
more than save the people that sum,
as follows: The insurance key rate
will be reduced from 20 to 40 cents,
which will amount to $4,000 year and
in three years tthe life of the con-
tract to $4,000. The city will also
save the $4,000 year now paid the
water company for water for fire and
other purposes, amounting in three
years to $4,000, total of s21 900 saved
in the three years. This showing will
appeal to any business man as good
proposition for the people of Bryan.
The Eagle is also glad to announce
to the people that the council has also
closed deal for the sale of its ss9, 600
in bonds which, with the money for
the lot sold adjoining the city hall,
viii give the council ample funds to
pay for this water distributing system,
extends its mains into sections of the
city where there is now no water, put
in a sewer system, and also to erect
its poles, string wires, etc, for it's
electric light system.
Verify, it looks as if things are CON-
ing Bryan's way. The farmers will
please move their fences back so the
old town can spread.
