ALLEGED
TO Be MISSING
Important Missive Is Sought by
House Committee

Washington, July 1.-THE story Of
a vanishing letter, both addressed and
signed Dick" from Richard S. Ryan
of New York to Richard A. Ballinger,
then secretary of the interior, pur-
porting to show that Charles P. Taft
had Influenced his brother, President
Taft, to forward the alleged attempt
of the Guggenheim interests to acquire
Controller bay, the only outlet for
large coal fields in Southern Alaska,
figured in a congressional inquiry.
The testimony before the house
committee on expenditures in the in
terror department and statements
from the White House and from
Charles P. Taft's off ce failed to lift
the mystery enshrouding the alleged
letter.
Commissioner bennett of the gen
eral land office, the only witness, testi-
fled that he knew nothing of it and
that he would not necessarily know of
it's existence and such a letter was
not recalled in any other quarter.
The letter was not to be found in
the files, though Miss M. F. Abbott, a
newspaper writer, who will testify
later, says she copied such a docu-
ment from the official files.
President Taft has expressed con
fidence that his brother never com
municated with him on the subject,
either orally or in writing.

TO CONTROL CORPORATIONS
Senator NewIands Presents Measure
to Congress.

Washington, July 6.-An interstate
trade commission of five members to
control industrial corporations, as the
interstate commerce commission con-
trolls the railroads, was advocated in
a bill introduced by Senator Francis
G. NeWlands of Nevada. Mr.. New
lands, in a statement accompanying
that measure, contended that the
Standard Oil and Tobacco decisions
and the recent government report on
the steel industry demonstrate the
need of a Independent, quasi-judicial
and administrative tribunal of great
character and dignity as far removed
from partisan control as are the
courts"
The plan is to apply only to indus.
trial corporations engaged in inter-
state trade, whose annual receipts ex.
coed SIS, 600, 000.

LAKE VESSEL SUNK IN CRASH
Steamer John Mitchell Lost on Lake
Superior.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, July IL
Three lives We're lost and thirty-one
persons, including six women and a
little boy, experienced a thrilling mid

Alleged James Petit Is Short
About Million and Half,
INQUIRY FOLLOWS HIS DEATH
President and General Manager OF
Peavey Grain Company Said to
Have Been Specializing.

Chicago, July 11.-Close upon the
death of James Petit, who was found
dead from drowning in Lake Michigan
near the Moraine hotel Saturday
morning, came the announcement of
the retirement from the brokerage
business of the firm of which he was
president and general manager.
A number of kilograms were sent
out by the Peavey Grain company to
its agents and customers all over the
country. 1t was stated that owing to
the death of Mr.. Petit the company
had decided to retire from the commits
sion business in Chicago.
The Peavey Elevator company,
which is a separate corporation and
whose trademark (PV) may be seer
on the elevators of almost every agri,
cultural center in the country and
lake and Mississippi steamboats,, is
not affected, however.
The retirement of the grain com
pany followed meetings of officers of
the First National bank, Corn IIx-
change National bank and possibly
other Chicago financial institutions.
The tragic ending of Mr.. Pettit's life
is said to have a significant bearing
on this action. 1t is pointed out that
the inquiry was set afoot by the banks
on the first business day following his
death.
Company Will Redeem Notes.
Notes a%ggregating between $780,
600 and 81 800, 900, which Mr.. Petit,
it is declared, tioated on the credit Of
the grain concern and which money
he is reported to have lost in private
speculations, were under considera-
ton at secret conferences of Chicago
and Evanston bankers. 1t was said
that the company had promised the
bankers that it would make good on
all the paper which had been given
by Petit on the credit of the concern.
An official of the Corn Exchange
bank put the amount OF the money in
volved at S75O,OOO. He said, however,
that he thought the banks would be
secured by the warehouse certificates
tor wheat put up as collateral and
also by the Peavey interests in Min
nesota, though the Peavey Grain COM
pany is a separate corporation from
the Peavey Elevator company.
Peaver Grain company telegrame
were sent to agents and customers
stating that, owing to the death of Mr..
Petit, the company had decided to re-
tire from the commission business in
Chicago, combining it's efforts in the
future to elevator operations. Gus
quested to transfer them to other
firms.

ASSESSORS WILL MAKE LIST
New Scheme to Keep Voters in Own
Party Lines.

New Scheme to Keep Voters In Own
Party Lines.
There are breakers ahead for the
North Dakota assessors in 1912 when
the first effect of the law requiring the
listing of voters according to party af-
hliation will be seen. This law, which
does not become operative till March,
when the local assessors begin their
work, promises to give the listers of
property and people all kinds of trou-
Die, as it is too much to suppose that
all voters will submit tamely to a
demand for a prediction declaration,
especially wnen it must be made
about three months before the regular
primary election.
The law was devised to remedy a
situation that exists by reason Of the
fact that the 80 per cent feature of the
present primary election law was de-
clared null and void. The purpose of
that provision was to keep the party
voters inside the bulwarks OF their
own party, preventing them from en-
terlng the camp Of the opposition and
assisting in the nomination of candi-
dates, only to go afterwards into the
general election and vote against such
candidates.
Several plans were proposed to rem
edy this condition and the assessor
list was finally devised and adopted.
1t places in the hands of the assessor
he duty of making a personal can
vass of each and every male voter to
determine his politics. The lists are
20 be turned over to the election Of
icials to, be used at the general pri-
mary election.
This system will be matched with
Interest by several states which have
the same problem to meet. No per-
centage feature is required in the
Forth Dakota primary law, the SUI
preme court having decided that such
provision is unconstitutional. Last
winter an attempt was made to inject
a 20 per cent feature into the law to
take the place of the 80 per cent pre-
viously required, but it was unsuccess-
full.

POPE PRAISES ARBITRATION
Sends Letter to Apostolic Delegate at
Washington.

Washington, July 6.-Pope Plus x.
in an autograph letter received by the
apostolic delegate to Washington ap-
plauds the lead taken by the United
States in the worldwide campaign for
international peace. Although the
pontif does not mention President
Taft by name a copy of the letter
was forwarded to the White House.
1t is expected the president, because
OF his well known peace views, will
reply to the cordial sentiments of the
ruler of the church.

Rescue.

When Mrs. John Penner returned to
a o in, her residence, a short dis
lance from White Earth, after an
absence of only a few minutes, it
was to find the room a mass of flames.
Her two year-old daughter was asleep
in a buggy at the far end of the room
and was burned to death in spite of
the mothers frantic efforts at effect
ing a rescue. Mrs. Penner had been
engaged in oiling the floor and in some
manner the fluid exploded.

Ignite TESTS SUCCESSFUL
Government Solves Problem of Max
ing Marketable Briquets.

In briquets of Ignite coal the gov
eminent bureau of mines at Washing
ton believes it has developed. a fuel
supply that will be of immense value
to the West, where high grade coal
can be obtained only at excessive cost.
A powerful machine brought from
Germany has solved the difficulty
which heretofore has limited the man
ufacture of briquets-the cost of the
pitch necessary to hold the coal dust
together.
Ignite is a poor form of brown
colored coal found in great abundance
in North and South Dakota, Montana,
Texas and other Western states. It's
tendency to slack soon after being
mined makes it troublesome to trans
port and it does not burn readily on
account of the presence of between 80
and 40 per cen of moisture. The bu-
reau of mines conducted experiments
at Williston, N. D., and developed a
furnace that would burn Ignite salts
factorily. Now that the experiments
have gone far enough to indicate that
briquets a be made successfully at
low cost, the bar to transportation of
Ignite seems to have been removed.
Pingree Line Seems Certain.
Contractor Guthrie, who will com
plete the Pingree-Wilton line of the
Northern Pacific, which was graded
last year, sent his chief clerk to
Pingree to make preparations for the
completion of the entire line from
Pingree to Wilton. The contractor
says the entire line will be finished
this year. The grading has been prac-
tlcally completed, but none of the
bridge work has been done. The con-
tractor will begin laying rails from
Pingree and work west. 1t is expect.
ed rails will be laid in time to haul
out the grain this fall, but the rail
road commissioners will not insist
upon the company running a daily
train service on the new line during
the winter. provided reasonable ne
cessary passenger service is furnish
ed. Superintendent Birdsall of the
Dakota division made a trip over part
OF the line and the prospects for bust
ness are considered good.

BIG BLOWERS LIVE LONG.
Playing Wind Instruments Ooesn't

Playing Wind instruments Doesn't
Tend to Shorten Life.
Ailments of the heart and lungs have
been frequently attributed by patholo-
gists and others to the blowing of
wind instruments. 1t has even been
asserted, without any definite founda-
ton in fact. that the cornet, from
bone or oboe player Is blowing his
lungs away" and will die before his
time.
DR.. Forcheimer in his "Prophylaxis
and Treatment OF international Dis
cases. shows the fallacy of this belief.
He states emphatically that lust as
many players of stringed instruments
have emphysema as players of wind
instruments" and after long expert
ence OF musicians he has come to the
conclusion that neither emphysema
nor its predispositon is result Of
their occupation"
To determine statistically the effects
on longevity of playing upon wind In
struments Dr. James F. Rogers con-
suited Groves Dictionary Of Music
and Musicians" and Champlin's ICY

calculated the average age Of 100 per-

a like number upon stringed instru-
ments. The average length Of life of
! players upon wind instruments was
63.5 years and OF players upon string

For the different wind instruments
