New York, Feb. 3.-Counsel for the

Hampton's Magazine and for 100000
damages against Cleveland Moffett. the
writer of an alleged defamatory state
ment concerning the Standard Oil com
pany, has received written retraetions
from both the publishers ana the writ
er. The article in question referred to
the manufacture and sale OF impure
candies and said that the STANDARD Oil
company manufactured and sold impure
materials which went into these candies,
and that when the various dealers were
arrested and fined the Standard Oil
company paid the fines. Upon inves-
tigation," writes Cleveland Monett in a
letter given out yesterday, Il have as

SKATING UNION
Says Importation by Montreal Of q
Swedish Professional Is Cause
of TrGubie.

Saranac Lake, n. ", Feb. g.. Edmund
Lamy and his father returned to their
home yesterday, Lamy having been
obliged to abandon ali further skating
for the season because of his suspen-
sion for one year for refusing to re-
skate race at Montreal last Saturday
night. Lamy roasts the International
Skating union, the controlling Amer
lean body, and charges It with bad faith
and breach Of trust in allowing Major
E. 0'Holm, an European professional, to
compete against amateurs at Montreal.
0Holm, he claims, was imported by
Montreal interests with the definite in
tention of securing q skater who could
take his measure. 0'Holm il credited
in the hand book authorized by the In
ternational Skating union, with a pro-
fessionsl record Of 4.44.5 for 600 meters,
skated against other professionals at

TO LEASE
WATER-POWLR
Taft's Plan For Federal Prop
critics
PUBLIC TO BE PROTECTED
Exorbitant Prices Mean End of Con-
tract--Delayed Development
Is Also to Be Pre-
vented.
PUBLIC TO BE PROTECTED

Washington, Feb. 3.--President Taft
has approved a plan for the leasing by
the federal government of water power
sites on public lands. The principal
points of this plan are that legislative
authority be sought for issuing term
leases for periods not to exceed fifty
years; that these leases should contain
stipulations to protect the public against
the limitation of output OF power
through delayed or partial development;
a yearly rental charge to be based on
the amount OF power available. 1t Is
prepared that violation of the contract
condition or persistency in charging con
sumers rate declared excessive by a
state supreme court shall be ground for
the cancellation of the lease. At the ex-
piration OF the lease, il is proposed to
give the lessee preference right TO
renewal unless the government desires
to use the property for public purposes,
and provided the lessee fails to secure a
renewal either because the government
desires the land or because another APP.
plicant offers better terms, the previous
lessee shall receive compensation for the
actual value for improvement on the
ground or be allowed TO remove such
equipment.
The necessity for the framing of such
a policy, it is stated at the White House,
arose from the fact that power sites in
the West are largely on public lands,
which at present can neither be taken
up by power companies nor occupied ex-
cept under revoeable permit. II was
recognized that there was need for uni
form policy to apply to all public land
power sites The plan was drawn up
by Chief Forester Graves, George r.
McCabe, solicitor of the department Of
agriculture, and James b. Adams, Of the
forestry service, representing the de.
partment OF agriculture, and by Edward
G. Finney, chief law officer of the rec.
lamation service, Director Smith OF the
geological survey and Commissioner Dem
nett, of the general land Office. repre-

The result of the adoption of Mr..

the Alaska bill the place Of unfinished

vacated by the subsidy bill, and Mr..
Borah had counted on getting that point
of vantage for the resolution providing
for the election of senators by direct
vote of the people. Evidently he was
somewhat discounted by Mr.. Nelson's
move.
"The motion is not amendable,' ruled
the chair.

and in an instant the Senate was thrown
into scene Of confusion. The situation
was relieved, however, by a motion TO
