Graves; how the navy department
stated 1t 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 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
railroad town. The message says:
II 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.

Coming to the personal side of the
matter, Mr.. Taft says:
Before closing, l desire to allude to
circumstance which the terms OF

tributed to newspaper correspondent
that in an examination of the files of
the interior department a few weeks
ago postscript was found attached
to letter Of July 13, 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: want to see the presi-
dent the other day. He asked me
who it was represented. told him
according to our agreement, that
represented myself. But that didn't
seem to satisfy him. So l sent for
Charlie Taft and asked him to tell
his brother, the president, who 1t was
really represented. The president
made no further objection to my
claim. Yours, DICK"

Continued from page l

bonds shall be payable in twenty
five years, and shall be paid up in
full at maturity"
State officials have declared that
it is of no avail to recommend things
to the General Assembly, yet this
year a number of important matters
will be recommended.
Among them are:
l. A tax commission, recommend.
ed by the department of the Comp.
troller General.
2. Revision of the school laws by
the adoption of the report of the
education commission appointed at
the last session of the General As
sembly.
8. Changes in factory inspection
and child labor acts.
4. The adoption of the agricultur.
al commissions report as to the es-
tablishment of a school system for
agriculture. This recommendation
is from the department Of Superin.
tendent SWearinpen.
5. Changes in the insurance acts
to secure better protection. These
recommendations have been out
lined from time to time in state
ments by Insurance Commissioner
McMaster.
6. A uniform scholarship law,

Z. The re-establishment of the
State summer school.
