Miss M. r. Abbott, Washington
newspaper woman, who unearthed tho
"Dick to Dick letter in the interior
department. A facsimile copy Of the
front side of letter written by Richard
Ryan TO Richard Balinger. copy hav-
ing been made by Miss Abbott, ac-
cording to testimony. part of this
letter has since disappeared from the
interior department files.
The copy reads. - that | repre-
sented myself, but that did not seem
to satisfy himD So sent for
Charles Taft and told him to tell his
brother, tho president, who it was |
really represented. The president made
no further objection to my elaims.'
This copy by Miss Abbott was made
on interior department paper, and is
said by her to be an absolute copy of
tho postscript to the important letter.
Washington. July 26.-Presdent Taft
sent a special message To the senate
today shouldering full responsibility
FOR opening for settlement and de-
| velopment 12,sO0 acres of the chugach
national forest reserve in Alaska-an
| incident which has become known as
| the Controller bay affair" In con-
Guiding, he brands the now famous
| '.Dick-to- Dick" postscript as wicked
! fabrication and says that Charles y.
Taft. whose name appeared in the al
legged postscript, "has no interest In
Alaska, never had. and knows nothing
of the circumstances connected with
this transaction" Moreover the
president adds, his brother does not
even remember that he ever met

pany. Because of a lack of time suf-
ficent to draft a memorandum my
self, requested the secretary of the
interior, who. with the secretary of
agriculture. after full discussion. had
agreed in my conclusion, to prepare
a letter setting forth the reasons for
making the larger elimination, SO that
1t might become part of the record"
An independent Enterprise.
The president says he had every
assurance ut the time that the Con-
troller Railway & Navigation company
was an independent enterprise working
In all good faith. and that no EVIL
dence to the contrary has since been
brought To his attention.
The president goes on to explain
that there are ironbound limitations
covering the method for securing title
for government lands and for this rea :
son he feels no fear OF any interest
obtaining monopoly.
'"rhe whole contention that the ex-
ecutlye order and the opening to set

To persons using scrip To appropriate

prac ticable parts Of the channel by the
location of the scrip opposite To these
parts. If now the location of tho
scrip opposite 10 the harbor gives
no right to reach the harbor except
as congress gave It, clearly the Con-
troller Railway & Navigation company
has not the slightest opportunity fol

facilities unless congress shall b,
future act deliberately and yoluntar
ily confer it,"
Having explained in detail his rea
sons for opening up the land In ques
ton, the president takes occasion Il
answer incidental criticisms. 'Th
order has been criticized besause !

tion, instead Of an order" he writes
This was determined by Mr., Graves

As to Ryan.

The president relates how Ryan,
representing the Controller Railroad IL
Navigation company, applied in 1909
for the elimination of a tract to en-
able this company TO secure railroad
terminals. etc. The application was
referred to the forestry bureau and
then to the navy department with
view that perhaps the navy desired to
use Controller bay as a reservation,
The forestry interests found no OBJ
| lection to tho elimination of the
tract indicated. "or indeed" AS the
president writes, ito the elimination

Dissatisfied.

Il expressed dissatisfaction with the
order because IL pnrported on its face
to make the elimination for the bene-

of land which the company could not
by lawful entry secure. for it was a

Caesars wife may have been above
suspicion so far as her morals were
concerned, but the same could not
have been said about her hair. any
more than 1t could about the hair OF
the fashionable matron of today.
The Greek, Egyptian, Carthaginian
and Roman ladies of twenty-five cen
turtles ago made uGe of the most as
tonishing quantities of borrowed hair,
and the Roman women of the time of
Augustus were especially pleased
when they could outdo their social
rivals by piling upon their heads
greater tower of additional tresses.
They also arranged curls formally
around the head.
An extensive commerce in human
hair was carried on, and after the con-
quest of Gaul, blond hair, such as
grew originally on the heads of Ger
man girls along the Rhine, became
very fashionable in Rome. Caesar did
not disdain to mix little commercial
ism with his military enterprises and
collected a vast amount of hair from
the vanquished Gauls, which he sent
to market at Rome, and in the Roman
provinces cropped head was regard
