ALASKA Grab
|. INQUIRY STILL ON
Chairman Graham Gives Emphatic
Denial to Report That House
Committee Had Dropped Probe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1E.-Repudia
ton OF the charge that the house com.
mittee had dropped Its probe. Of the
alleged Controller Bay, Alaska, grab
was made TO the house today by Chair.
man Graham Dem. ILL
My experience" he said, leads me
to believe that IL Is In the interest OF
truth to make haste slowly. IL is the
purpose OF the chairman on Novem-
Der / to produce the evidence
"One reason which has been given
for haste Is that the president has
been assailed through the newspapers,
and, II the assault is unjust, he should
have q speedy vindication.
Even In that case, | should think
the president would court thorough
ness rather than haste. Besides, the
president has sent TO the senate a
lengthy statement OF his side of the
matter which has been published far
and wide, and which am informed, Is
being mailed to the country in large
quantities by government clerks and
is further circulated by means OF prac-
tically free plate matter to rural
newspapers.
"This investigation involves prop
erty OF very great value and public
rights of even greater value, and the
committee Is determined to follow
where the facts lead. regardless of
whom II may hurt or help"
Graham called attention to the fact
that there had been printed various
garbled versions OF the presidents
message on the Controller Bay situ-
alton.

BRYAN ATTACKS
PRESIDENT TAFT
peerless Leader" Says Chief Exec
utive Is CURLING Free Government
in browning ON Recall Of Judges.

CINCINNATI. o.. Aug. l5.-wiiiam
J. Bryan, while here this morning,
gave out an interview, attacking Pres.
ident Taft for his expected veto OF the
Arizona-New Mexico statehood bill
because of the recall OF judges In the
new Arizona constitution.
The veto will be the height OF
folly" said Bryan. THE statehood
bill provides that the people must
vote upon the recall at the first cleo.
ton. II leaves them free to retain
or cut II out. That Is all the presi
dent has any reason to ask. Oregon
now has the recall and any state In
the union can adopt II. II IL Is cut
out entirely. Arizona can reinstate the
provisions az soon as statehood Ia
given her.
The president ia wasting energy
when he makes such a fuss over a
provision which the people are al
liberty to add at any time. But dis
veto, II he sends II In, will serve q
useful purpose. II will show that the
same doctrine of irresponsible gov.
|ernment which he applied In the Phil.
ippines would be applied here by linn
| II he had the power.
Opposition to the recall gives a
|fiashlight picture OF the presidents In
fidelity to the fundamental principles
OF free government Every Judge IN
The United States Is now subject to
Impeachment before q tribunal com.
posed OF public servants. Why should
he distrust an impeachment tribunal
composed OF the masters-the sover.
|eigns-who select the public servants
II he simply favored condition which
would compel deliberation and invests.
CATION, his position could be defended,
but when he insists that Judge shall
not be subject to recall by the people
no matter how long his term or how
fragrant his abuse OF power. he ex-
poses his contempt for the rights OF
the people and his lack of faith in
their intelligence and patriotism"

Il dldn't Know you had callers!" me
voice of Karl Saunders broke in upon
9 silence that was beginning to hurt,
We'll, bless me If it isn't Rufus
Smythers! l would have known that
carrot top anywhere!"
The girl bit her lips, but a ripply
laugh escaped. The two men were
soon deep in the memories of boyhood
days. The girl put in word occa.
stonally. but for the most part listened
with eyes now wide, now soft, and al.
ways with that smile lurking in their
idepths or about the corners of her
lips. She arose after while and
Lieutenant Smythers watched her
every movement, and with mingling
iiof happiness and misery in his heart,
for he liked Saunders, and the more
he saw of him the better he liked him.
But-Saunders' wife?
Karl, dear, couldn't we have lust
a little supper here tonight instead of
going out? If Lieutenant Smythers
doesn't mind would love to fix up a
little cold chicken and mushrooms"
NOW, sis, you know l don't like
you to bother. Oh, say! What's up
between you two?"
The lieutenant had turned so swiftly
toward the girl. and the girl was try.
Ing SO hard not to laugh that the at,
mosphere of the studio seemed
charged with batteries on all sides.
The mockery died from Katrina
Saunders's eyes when she met the ex,
preston of the steel blue ones. Her
color arose warm and rich with be-
trayal. She turned quickly toward
her brother.
Nothing, dear-except that Lieu
tenant Smythers has been under the
Impression that-that-" The girl
stumbled over her words. "You tell
him what you thought while get
the supper" She cast a confused
glance at each of the men and fled
to the tiny kitchenette.
Il can easily see how you mistook
Katrina for my wife, but how did you
get into her studio instead of miner"
.katrina's brother questioned laugh
lnsAy' vi, I've got IL! MY number
Is 90 and you thought the three was
an eight. Sis plays all day on the
piano and am at the violin most of
the time, 30 we arranged for two stu
dos"
Lieutenant Smythers was strangely
quiet. He was waiting at each sound
for the return of Katrina.
"Well-have you satisfied yourselves
that am nobody's wife?" She was
standing in the doorway holding aside
the curtain that they might enter the
dining room.
For the present-yes." There was
laughter in. the lieutenant's voice. but
as he passed into the dining room
their eyes met and Katrina knew.
