Wife Influenced, He SAYS.
VANDERBILT'S BIG CHECKS.
Received $685. Every Minute as In
terest From Government.

Proof that the elder William H. Van
derbilt once owned $4S.05O.OOO in govern
ment bonds, upon which he received in
terest at the rate of 81 .922. 600 a year, has
been found in the old Treasury records
The old interest checks made out to Mr.
Vanderbilt show the government paid
to him 100000 a month. One of the de-
partment statisticians calculated that he
received $40 every hour of the day and
night. and 1893 every minute.
More than $2.OO0.OOO.OOO in redeemed
bonds, representing the major part of the
governments civil war debt, is being fed
gradually to the furnaces in the bureau
Of printing and engraving. The engineers
estimate that the immense sum in old Sc
curities will generate about as much
steam as two tons Of coal.
All the government securities issued and
redeemed between 1860 and 1898 are be-
ing thus destroyed, including nearly
81 600 100000 in the famous G-3O bonds,
which are made in the size of green
backs and passed as money at the high
est rate Of interest the government has
ever paid. More than 100000 separate
bond coupons. which represent q large
portion of the governments interest pay
ments for fifty years, also will be burned.
The usual process of reducing old secur-
tiles to a pulp by macerating them was
at first attempted, but the job proved too
great.

TAKES LIFE IN HOTEL
Philadelphia Mans Suicide
Due to Marital Woes.
WIFE HAD ENTERED SUIT
Charged Alienation of Husbands
Affections Against Woman She
Once Attacked.

PHILADELPHIA, July 21-A man
| identified by the police as James T. Dunn.
| head of a novelty concern bearing his
name with offices in this city. committed
| suicide last night in an Atlantic City
Hotel Dunn went to the resort yester-
day and registered at hotel on Pacific
avenue. He failed to appear during the
| day and hotel attache was sent to in
ves:igate. The door of his room was
forced and Dunn was found lying fully
dressed on the bed. He had shot HIM
| self.
While no definite cause for his suicide
| is known, it is believed that matri-
monial difficulties were responsible. He
had been separated from his wife, Mrs.
Sarah M. Dunn of New York. since
October. 1909. A suit for the alienation
of her husbands affections against Mrs.
Elizabeth Fl. Holmes, a wealthy New
York woman, is now pending in the
New York supreme court.
Wife Attacked Mrs. Holmes.
Dunn first came into the limehght in
July, 1908. when his wife made an at
tack on Mrs. Holmes on the Boardwalk
. at Atlantic City. after she had followed
the woman and Dunn across the con-
tinent from San Francisco. Dunn was
then acting secretary to Mrs. Holmes.
Mrs. Dunn was arrested for assault and
battery, and was held under $500 bail
for court. She then preferred counter
charges against Mrs. Holmes, and the
latter also was arrested and held under
the same bail. Dunn resigned his posi-
ton as secretary to Mrs. Holmes in Oc-
tober of that year and came to this city.
His wife took up her residence in New
York.
Dunn first met his wife in San Fran
cisco, when he went there shortly after
the earthquake and took charge of a
hotel. Mrs. Dunn was then a widow.
having been married to a man named
Duke Rosenbaum, who had committed
suicide several years previous. Rosen-
baum was wealthy and left his widow a
fortune Of S30O,OUO. BY shrewd specu-
lation she is said TO have increased this
to one million.

Huron.-Secretary Mcllvaine, of the

a report which has been in circulation
IN Des Moins, Ia, to the effect that
the South Dakota State Fair which
ds to be held in September had been
called off on account of the short
crops which have been grown in the
state this year:
Nothing could be further from the
fact. The applications for space for
exhibits is larger this year than it was
last. In some Of the departments
more space BY a third Or haf has been
reserved than at this time last year
The machinery exhibit, in particular,
: will be- much larger. The program
will be far ahead of last year. We
are leaving nothing undone to make
the fair big success and the only
thing that can prevent the consumma-
tion will be the failure of the people
to attend and this we do not antici-
pate. The fair will be held as adver-
tised and you may safely promise that
1t will be good one-better than last
year-and that is promising a good

Graves; how the navy department
stated 1t did not desire to use Con-
troller bay as reservations; how the
matter was considered fully by the
forestry bureau, the secretary of ag-
riculture. the secretary Of the inter
ior, the general land office and the
cabinet. AS result, after an inter-
view between the president and Mr..
Ryan, an order was drafted eliminat-
ing 320 acres.
Meanwhile Mr.. Ryan had satisfied
the president and other officials that
he and his associates had no connec-
ton with the Morgan-Guggenhe in
terests and We're engaged in an in
dependent enterprise in good faith to
build an Independent railroad. The
question again came before the cab
met, and the president. with the ap-
proval Of the secretaries of the in
terror and agriculture, changed the
order so that it eliminated 1880
acres. with sufficient room for a
railroad town. The message says:
Il was willing to do this because l
found the restrictions in the law suf-
fcient to prevent the possibility Of
any monopoly Of either the uplands
or the harbor or channel by the Con-
troller Railroad and Navigation COM
pany or any other person or con-
cern." These restrictions the presi-
dent sets forth at length, and shows
that the Ryan company has not the
slightest opportunity for exclusive
appropriation of the harbor facilities
unless congress shall by future act
deliberately and voluntarily confer it.

PRESIDENT TAFT REFUTES
CONTROLLER BAY CHARGES
Message to the Senate Fully Explains the Trans
action and Denounces the Attack on Chief
Executive and His Brother as Wilful
and Malicious Falsehood.

Observation-Disclosures Taft sent
to the senate Wednesday a message
that recalled some Of those received
from his predecessor. 1t was in re-
ply to resolution of the senate re-
Questing the president to transmit to
the senate all the documents relating
to the elimination from the Chugach
national forest, in Alaska, of land
fronting upon Controller bay. Mr.
Taft seizes the occasion occasion to
make vigorous defense. OF bis ,ow0
honor and that OF his brother, Charles
r. Taft, against the attacks made in
relation to this- Controller bay scan
dal."
The president sent in all the docu-
ments asked for, and more, and
quotes the executive order in ques-
ton. by which 12,80O acres were
eliminated from the national forest.
His message describes the import
ance OF Controller bay as a railway
terminal and relates the operations of
the Copper River railroad. owned by
the Morgan-Guggenheim interests,
whose terminal is at Cordova.
Ryan's Application Investigated.
In December, 1909. Richard S.
Ryan applied for the Controller bay
elimination, afterward granted, stat
ing that he represented the Controller
Railroad and Navigation company.
Mr.. Talt tells how this application was
referred to the district foresters at
Portland, Ore. and in Alaska and
was approved by Chief Forester
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1911-08-03

trtbuted to newspaper CORRESPONDENT
that in an examination of the files of
the interior department a few weeks
ago postscript was found attached
to letter Of July 13, 1910, addressed
by Mr.. Richard S. Ryan to Secretary
Ballinger-and in the present record
urging tho elimination OF land
enough for terminals for the Control
.er Railway & Navigation company.
The postscript was said to read as. fox.
= aa<s- aa<sss'ss;.ss'' = ''''''''' ''''''
Dear Dick: want to see the presi.
dent the other day. He asked me
who 1t was l represented. told him
according to our agreement, that
represented myself. But that didn't
seem to satisfy him. So sent for
Charlie Taft and asked him to tell
his brother, the president, who 1t was
l really represented. The president
made no further objection to my
claim. Yours, DICK"
Uses Strong Language.
THE postscript is not now on the
files Of the department If 1t were.
1t would be my duty to transmit 1t
under this resolution. Who is really
responsible for its wicked fabrication
If 1t ever existed, or for the viciously
false statement made as to its authen-
ITCHY, is immaterial for the purposes
of this communication. The purport
of the alleged postscript is, and the in
tention of the fabricator was, to make
Mr. Richard s. RYAN testify thro,,ob
its words to the public that although
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1911-08-03

was at first opposed In the public In
terest to granting the elimination
which he requested, nevertheless
through the undue influence of my
brother, Mr.. Charles P. Taft. and the
disclosure of the real persons in in
terest, was induced improperly and
for the promotion of their private
gain, to make the order.
"T6e statement in SO far as my broth
er is concerned-and that is the chief
feature of the postscript-is utterly
unfounded. He never wrote to me or
spoke to me in reference to Richard
S. Ryan or on the subject of Controller
Bay or the granting of any privileges
or the making Of any orders in respect
to Alaska. He has no interest in
Alaska, never had, and knows nothing
OF the circumstances connected with
this transaction. He does not remem-
Der that he ever met Richard S. Ryan
He never heard of the Controller Bay
railroad until my cablegram of inquiry
reached him, which. with his answer,
is in the record.
Mr.. Ballinger says in telegram in
answer 10 my inquiry, both OF which
are in the record that he never re-
ceived such postscript and that he
was in Seattle on the date Of July 13,
when 1t was said to have been written.
INF. Richard s. Ryan in a letter
which he has sent me without
solicitation. and which is in the
record. says that he never met my
brother. Mr. Charles p. Taft, and
that so far as he knows, Mr. Charles
P. Taft never had the slightest inter-
est in Controller Bay, in the Controll-
er Railway and Navigation company,
or In any Alaskan company, and he
utterly denies writing or signing the
alleged postscript. The utter improb-
ability of his writing such postscript
to Mr.. Ballinger at Washington, when
