ROCHESTER, n. Y. july 11-That the
Mystic Shriners should buy five thousand
acres OF land somewhere TO establish

the suggestion made by Imperial Poten-
tate Fred 4. Hines of Los Angeles, at
the first business session Of the counci'

One OF his reasons for this was that it
is almost impossible for any city to care
for the council and its following. The
suggestion was presented in the follow

II would recommend the appointment

caught at the bottom of the heap and

The five heavier Pullmaus that

spent strenuous two hours helping
railroad men, policemen and surgeons
at their work in the wreckage.
AS matter of fact. the mistake of a

ALASKAN INQUIRY IS
DEEMED IMPORTANT
Will Be Second Only to the Cele-
brated Ballinger-Pinchot
Investigation.
EXPERT IS FIRST WITNESS
Committee Proposes to Go Deeper
Into the Conditions Near
Controller Bay.

WASHINGTON, July l1.-An in
quiry into Alaska s industrial develop
ment, second in Importance only to
the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation,
will be inaugurated tomorrow by the
house committee on expenditures in
the interior department, according to
altered plans of that committee.
Instead of having Miss M. F. Abbott
tell the story of her discovery Of the
now famous "Dick to Dick letter,
the committee will examine govern
ment officials on general conditions in
the territory.
II is planned to call Alfred IL.
Brooks, Alaskan expert of the Geologi-
cal survey, as the first witness. He
will be followed by witnesses from the
Geodetic survey and from the war de-
partmeut, which controls the leasing
of water fronts in that country,
Probe to Be Thorough.
The possible connection of Chas P.
Taft with the subject is to be subor-
dinated for the time being. The com
mIttce will endeavor to find out If the
Guggenheim interests, when defeat in
the so-called Cunningham claims to the
great coal fields of Alaska seemed in
evitable, undertook to secure control Of
the coal deposits by monopolizing the
entrances to the interior of the coun-
try and If recognition of the RYAN en-
tries would affect this.
1t is for this purpose that the com
mittee has invited experts on Alaskan
| minerals and coast line TO testify as to
conditions in the neighborhood of Con.
| troller bay
This feature of the inquiry may re-
quire many days. Other than recog
| niziug the absolute freedom of the
president from congressional inquiry
| it was said tonight no limitation
would bo placed on the inquiry.
Up to this time Miss Abbott appears
to have been the only person to have
| seen the mysterious letter. Secretary
Fisher has said that thorough search
of the department files failed to reveal
such a letter. President Taft has
stated that he had never talked with hi:
| brother about Ryan or Controller bay
| and it is announced that neither the
| files at the white house nor those OF
| Charles P. Taft show any correspond
ence on the subject.
Brown Denies knowledge.
Ashmun Brown, former secretary tc
| Mr.. Ballinger, from whom Miss Abbott
claims to have secured the letter, ha:
denied absolutely any knowledge of it
According TO published accounts, Mis-.
| Abbott will testify that she found at
tached to typewriter letter from r
S. Ryan to Ballinger dated June 13
1910, this note or postscript:
| "Dear Diek-I went to see the presi
dent the other day about this ControIler

INSURANCE OFFICIALS
WANT TO KNOW CAUSE
Alleged Condition of Company
Causes Stir in Financial
Circles.

CHICAGO. July 11.-Mystery in the
death of James L. Petit, whose finan-
cial difficulties came to light last night.
was probed further today when interested
insurance officials asked Deputy Coro-
ner Conrad OF WaukeGan for a reopeninC
Of the inquest and a post mortem ex-
animation to determine whether death
was from drowning as Was reported. or
some other cause.
Meantime. news that the late grain
deal% and president OF the Peavey Grain
company had been In financial straits
caused a stir in banking circles and
meeting Of the committee OF bankers
having the dead brokers' affairs in hand
was called, The committee will en-
deavor 10 learn the exact amount OF
Pettits debts, variouslv estimated al
from $4,000 TO twice that much.
On the board OF trade the Peavey
brokers were busy in the pit closing out
accounts Of customers. or transferring
them as a preliminary TO the closing up
OF the Chicago end OF the commission de-
partment of the business.

Retiring From Business,
I'VE are retiring from the future COM

any other section OF the country, and
we had no one to take Mr.. Pettits place.
