FISHER MAY PROBE
COAL LAND GRABS
Secretary Cf Interior Waits
for Session to End.
to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Chicago, July 7-walter L. Fisher, Sec
retary of the Interior, will make a trip
TO Alaska this summer to investigate the
coal lands, the alleged grab of Controller
Bay and other disputed situations.
Secretary Fisher made the statement
to this effect when seen tonight at the
Onwentsia Club. Lake Forest, where he
is quartered during his present stay in
Chicago The only 'if" which the Sec
retary put to his proposed plan Of per-
sonally looking into the Alaskan situa-
tion was the adjournment of Congress
within reasonable time.
The matter came up when Secretary
Fisher read dispatches from New York
to the effect that the Morgan-Guggen-
helm syndicate, through its monopoly
of Controller Bay, was in a position to
enforce a monopoly over the coal lands
by its control of transportation. The
dispatches said that Charles P. Taft had
Influenced his brother, the President, in
signing a secret Executive order, and
that by having advance information the
syndicate was first with its filings.
This is the first time I have ever
heard the name of Charles Taft in coz
nection with the Alaskan coal lands situ-
ation," said Secretary Fisher. He has
certainly shown IL" interest in the matter
since I went into the Interior Department.
j do not know what Executive order is
referred 10 in the dispatches. Several
weeks ago / answered a list Of questions
propounded in a resolution of Senator La
Toilette. In making answer I said there
was other information on the subject in
the hands of the department; This In
formation has been requested by n subse-
quent resolution, and VIII shortly be sent
to Congress.
From the study I have made of the
Alaskan situation l do not see how 1t
would be possible for any syndicate to
control transportation out of Controller
Bay. j. ]. Ryan, by resolution of Con-
gress, secured the right to build out over
the tide flats and construct a pier at
Controller Bay. Some weeks ago COM
plant was made that the Ryan privilege
was inimicaI to the public interest. Mr..
Ryan called upon me and denied that
he was trying to monopolize coal lands.
end offered at any time to make full
outline Of his plans.
There has been no action of the In
terror Department in the Alaskan mat
ter since 1 became Secretary, and can
speak only from hearsay in the matter.
] have in mind a trip to ALASKA this
summer thoroughly to investigate the
situation. I will make the trip If Con-
gress adjourns in reasonable time. 1t
has not been deemed advisable for me
to be SO far away from Washington
while Congress is in session. From the
present outlook. however, I think the
trip can be made"

Anacieto Palaby, the Filipino
leper who for months has wearily
paced the confines of his tiny do.
main on the shores of the Anacostia
River, frowned on by the old build,
ings of the District Jail, will re,
ceive news within a day or two
which will gladden. his heart more
than he in his strange Philippine
vernacular could possibly tell.
PLANS FOR REMOVAL.
Manuel l. Quezon. Philippine resident
commissioner in Washington, said last
night that arrangements are being
rapidly made to send the lone man
back to the home of his youth, to his
island people.
Last fall. while he was in the employ oi
a naval officer who brought him TO this
country, officials of the District health
department discovered his loathsomt
disease, and since then he has beer
kept IN restraint within a pitifully
small area, to prevent the possiblf
spread OF the deadly malady.
Isolated for the protection OF the
community, Palaby has been pinins
for freedom, for he is not civilized
enough to understand he is q victim OF
an incurable disease.
A few weeks ago E. z. Roberts, Rep
resentative-at-large for the State OF
Nevada, prepared resolution providing
for an appropriation TO send the Filipino
home. This resolution was TO have beer
introduced to-day. but after q long con-
ference with Commissioner Quezon, Rep.
resentative Roberts decided not to IN.
troduee his resolution, as the commits
sioner promised he would send Palaby
to the Philippines at once.
Going to Leper Colony.
So within a week or two, at most, the
attendants will prepare Palaby for the
journey Of many thousand miles. Ac-
cording to the Philippine Commissioner
Palaby is to be taken to the leper
colony on the lonely island of Cullion
situated about 200 miles southwest of the
main island of the Philippine group
Luzon. The natives call the island Cuyo
and on It live nearly a thousand lepers.
Although but approximately twenty
square miles in area, the island is cul-
tivated by the lepers, and there they
raise their crops OF rice and engage in
other Industrial pursuits.
Drs. Woodward, Sawtelle, Fowler. and
LIE Merle, OF the District health depart.
ment, who have had a good deal to dc
with directing the destinies of Palaby or
District SOIL say he has apparently beer
happy, in spite Of his confinement.
He has a bicycle which he rides in a
circle about his little yard. Its tires have
worn a deep path in the grass plot. He
has many other simple diversions, which
are in keeping with his foreign childish
ness. Although Palaby has spent much
time in the company of Americans, he
stin speaks brokenly and is hard tC
understand.
Health Officers Relieved.
Last nights action by Commissioner
Quezon has taken a. weight of respon-
sibilfty of the shoulders of the District
health authorities. For several months
the problem Of what to do with PaIaby
has been one toward the solving OF
which all the health officials and several
Representatives, as well as the District
Commissioners. have given much delib-
Grafton.
The simplest Of all methods, the caring
for Palaby by the representatives Of his
own people has at last been chosen, and
he win return, unmourned, to the leper
colony of Cullion.

Escorted to Van.

When the van from the House of De-
tention arrived Mrs. Petersen refused 20
go with the matron, and another scene
ensued. Detectives picked up the crying
children and placed them in the van,
while Lieut.. Hartley and one of the men
escorted Mrs. Petersen. On the way from
the detective off1ce to the van Mrs. Peter
sen became violent and kicked at the
driver and the officers. She was finally
placed in the van with her children and
taken to the House OF Detention.
! While talking to Lieut.. Hartley, Mrs
Petersen at times wandered off into
flights OF fancy that convinced him she
was mentally unbalanced. She talked
of not getting justice from the officials
who were detaining her, and said that
if she could see the President she would
be sure of Justice.
She said she first took up the study
Of the hookworm last summer, when
she saw an article in a New York news
paper, and that she was so impressed
with It that she had decided to enlist the
aid of the President in order to get the
country rid of the dread disease. She
also said she wanted to ask the Presi-
dents aid in bringing to justice DIR.
Patschanky, the Russian physician,
whose wholesale murders aroused Rus
sia when he was on trial several months
ago.
Came from New York.
From Louis. the oldest of the chill
dren, the police learned that his father
worked for the New York Central Rail-
road in New York City, and that they
had left New York City shortly before
noon yesterday. They went to sleep in
the car, according to the boy, and when
the train arrived in Union Station they
did not get off.
The train backed out Of the yards, and
when they awoke they were at Wash
ington Junction. The conductor gave
them their supper and later sent them
to Washington.
At the House OF Detention early this
morning, Mrs. Petersen refused to allow
her children to drink. and they were
finally separated from their mother after
a struggle.

FIGHTS WITH OFFICERS

With three crying children cling
ing to her, Mrs. Emily Petersen,
thirty years old, of New York
City, was detained early this morn
ing when she called at police head
quarters to get information as to
how she could see President Taft.
She was arrested by Lieut.. Hart

sent to the House of Detention.
She probably will be examined as
to her sanity to-day.
Hookworm Her Hobby.
About midnight Mrs. Petersen, with
her three children. Louis. seven years
old: Gwendolyn. four years old, and
Kenneth, two years old, went to the
District Building. She said she wanted
to see President Taft and talk with him
about the hookworm. She told the
reporters she had written several let
ters to the President, but that they had
been intercepted by enemies.
The reporters told her she would
have to see Lieut.. Hartley in order to
get an interview with the President,
and she was asked to go into his of

and Lieut.. Hartley was asked to step
into the hall. He talked with her for a

was OF unsound mind. asked her to
come into his office. She refused, and
Lieut.. Hartley called the van from the
House of Detention.
The children began to cry and pleaded
with Lieut. Hartley not to harm her
