the lethargy into which sne seemed
to have fallen, but vall!y Events
of the past few months revolved
and revolved through the sirrs tired
mind. Far away now from America
-ah. farther away every day
slowly all she had suffered there
was being forgotten, minimized, ob-
liberated.
At first she had thought with
triumph of the success she hal
achieved, of the wit of the Oriental,
as persistently she called herself,
which had outmatched that OF the
cleverest of American statesmen.
Oh. how vainly had they breathed
their contempt for insignificant lit
tie Japan. But they would see, She
would show them-aye, point out to
Japan all their colossal weaknesses.
Like the giant in the scientific j.
uiitsu, whose very bulk and strength
constituted his chief frailty. to the
agile footed, dwarfed opponent. so
would America be pricked by the
despised pigmy in the very heart
OF her strength.
Thus the fevered thoughts seethed
increasingly through her tangled
mind. Then came period when
she would think of individuals
men, women, girls she had known
and lived among in America. She
would recall this and that incident
of the past. and lie there smiling

SO, at last, she came to think of
Anthony Burrows! She could re-
main there no longer, still and qui
ct. Like some imprisoned creature,
she paced her little cabin, daring
not to show her face outside the
room; scarcely daring to look at
herself. because the wild-eyed, pale
faced girl who stared back at her
from the mirror, seemed to accuse
her of some secret guilt.
And now at last, in sight OF the
home of her dreams, rather than
her memory. Sakura stood and
gazed. All, surely not alone to
those who have been born under
its blessed shadow Full Yama s
enchanting beauty holds one in en-
raptured thrall! There, in the purple
air. enshrouded like goddess of
purity, in fleecy clouds of white,
the peerless cone stood revealed in
all it's golden glory. She felt, as
she gazed, justified, forgiven, purg-
ed of what had lain as heavy on
her soul as crime.

she had thought ardently of pos

thought filled her with sense OF
desolation. There came to her mind
vividly, as though she still were in

looked about her wildly, as if des-

She crouched down by the great

Ladies OF the Leaf.

The Ladies of the Leaf met yester'
day with Mrs. Arthur Straehley with
a large attendance and interesting
program.
The afternoon was begun with a
very beautiful piano selection by Miss
Mabel Warren, whose musical talent
has contributed much to the enjoy
ment to the club during the present
club year.
Roll call was answered with quota
tions from Silas Warner.
Mrs. William Pfieffer was leader
and conducted the lesson with an ease
that comes from a thorough prepara'
ton of the subject.
The lesson was the last one on Silas
Warner and closed the study of Geo
Eliot for the year.
Mrs. John Teer gave an interesting
and illuminative sketch of Silas War
ner, tracing the changes in his char
acter from the beginning to the end
of the book.
Mrs. Ray Poland led the discussion
on the symbolism used in the book
This was quite the most difficult task
the program offered and Mrs. Poland
most ably answered the questions
showing how deftly Geo. Eliot had en-
phasized the beautiful thoughts in
Silas Warner by employing symboles
to impress them on our minds.
Mrs. Whiteman led the question box
which elected a number of opinions
on the subject.
Mrs. w. P. Poland led current
events. AS her subject she selected
Tolstoi, Mrs. Eddy and Julia Ward
Howe-three great writer's whose
: deaths have occurred recently. Mrs
Poland, assisted by various club mem
bers, made the topics of great interest
A paper by Mrs. A. c. Cruce, com
pairing the religious teachings of Tol

interest among the club memers and
was the basis of some discussion or
their part.

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

washington.-President 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
mako 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
dali"
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 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 8.
Ryan applied for the Controller bay
elimination, afterward granted, stat
ing that he represented the Controller
Railroad and Navigation company.
Mr.. Talt tells how this application was
referred to the district foresters at
Portland, Ore, and in Alaska and
was approved by Chief Forester

Graves; how the navy department
stated it did not desire to use Con-
troller bay as 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:
II was willing to do this because I

fcient 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-
cern." 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, desire to allude to
circumstance which the terms of
this resolution make apt and relevant

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 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: I want to see the presi-
dent the other day. He asked me
who it was represented. 1 told him
according to our agreement, that
represented myself. But that didn't
seem to satisfy him. So 1 sent for
Charlie Taft and asked him to tell
his brother, the president, who it was
l really represented. The president
made no further objection to my
claim. Yours, DICK"
Uses Strong Language.

files of the department. If it were,
it would be my duty to transmit it
under this resolution. Who is really
responsible for it's wicked fabrication
If it ever existed, or for the viciously
false statement made as to its anthem
ITCHY, is immaterial for the purposes
of this communication. The purport
of the alleged postscript is, and the in
tention of the fabricator was, to make
Mr.. Richard S. Ryan testify through
its words to the public that although
