ROOSEVELT ON
ALASKAN COAL
LAND MATTER
THE Ex-PREsIDENT cRITIcIZES
THE GOVERNMENT FOR ELIMl-
NATION OF so MUCH LAND
FROM THE GOVERNMENT RE-
SERVE, AND ALSO FOR MANNER
IN WHICH 1T WAS DONE BY THE
DEPARTMENT.
BY Associated Press.

New York, July 22.-Theodore Roose-
welt has an article on the development
of Alaska in today's issue of the Out
look. He declares two factors to be re-
sponsible for retarding progress in this
direction, great capitalists who wish
ed to develop Alaska by making
enormous fortunes for themselves out
side of, and in defiance of the law"
and the congressman, who under pre-
tense of hostility to the corporations.
decline to permit the passage of leg
islation which will enable them to do
their work honestly and to develop
the coal fields with a fair profit to
themselves, while doing justice to
others"
Referring specifically to the Con-
troller Bay case, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
In this connection wish also to call
attention to the essential fact as re-
CARDS the Controller Bay situation.
Controller Bay, under actual condi-
tions, offers the only chance, or at any
rate, very much the best chance, for a
free outlet from the great Bering river
coal fields. It was the imperative duty
of the government service to keep this
outlet free and not to dispose of it to
any individual or individuals. The
government should have held this land
in perpetuity, permitting its use by
any individual or corporation only un-
der conditions that would subserve the
general public interest. Unfortunately
the interior department last October
eliminated from the government re-
serve, not only the 500 acres, the
elimination OF which saszafstakenly
recommended by the agricultural de-
partfnent, but 1880 acres more.
Whether there was or was not i'm
propriety in the way in which the
elimination was brought about, wheth-
er or not there was impropriety in the
action which resulted in the instant
filing of claims by Mr.. Ryan and 9TH
ers, does not go to the root of the mat
ter. The root of the matter is no
such elimination should have been
made by the interior department. Tho
public interest demanded that this land
should be kept undr public control and
that to prevent monopoly it's use
should be permitted only under such
conditions as the public needs re-
quired. Remember always that such
action would not have hindered de-
velopment. It would have favored de-
velopment, for 1t would have enabled
any honest corporation to come in and
do its part in developing the country
without fear of being crowded out by
some other corporation which through
unwise government action might obtain
a monopolist right 1t is absolutely
essential to the proper development OF
| our waterways within the United
| States and 1t is essential to the proper

PERTs PRONOUNCE DISEASE AS
AsIATIc CHoLERA-No TIME Is
BEING LOST TO PURGE THE
CITY OF GERMS THAT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND.
BY Associated Press.

New York, July 22-Medical experts
of the board of health swept aside to-
day the doubts and waning hopes of
Bellevue hospital doctors by diagnosing
as Asiatic cholera the case of Manuel
Bemudes, a Spanish sailor, whom the
big hospital had sheltered for two
days. The victim was taken to quar-
antine.
Manhattan's first case of the plague
came as a shock to the medical author
tiles who lost no time to purge the
city of any germs that may have been
left behind.
Cholera claimed another victim today
among the patients in the hospital on
Swinburne Island in the death of Dem
trio Anagoston, aged IT, making the
total deaths in quarantine 9. The boy
was a steerage passenger on the
steamer Moltke from Naples. No new
cases Of cholera were reported.
The cholera death roll at Swfnburne
island remained at eight today and no
new cases had been reported among
the other immigrants at quarantine.
The steamer Roma, which arrived yes
terday from Marseilles and Barcelona,
is still In quarantine, but since she did
not touch at Naples as usual, the health
officers expect to be able to give her
clean bill Of health and let her dock to-
day.
The health officers look for an easier
task in the future owing to the fact
that most Of the steamers from the
Mediterranean will not take passengers
from Naples and Palermo while the
cholera epidemic lasts there.
A report that en- investigation of
Health Officer Doty's administration
had been suspended upon orders from
Governor Dix to save the local health
department from interference during

will be arranged so that none Of Dr.
Doty's assistants will be called away

New York, July 22.-Claus Augustus
Spreckels, principal owner of the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company of Yonk-
ers, n. Y, gave the most sensational
testimony yet developed before the
sugar trust investigating committee
today.
He said his plant at Philadelphia,
before it was controlled by the trust,
was put out of commission several
times by persons who threw sand in
the machinery and bearings and 9TH
erwise wrecking the plant.
He swore that in the Yonkers re-
finery, after he had turned down the
trust overtures, that dead rats were
placed in barrels of sugar ready for
shipment and whole watts of sugar
drained off at night into the sewers.
The nuisance of dead rats, he said,
continued until private detectives
pointed out a number Of employees
whom he discharged without pay. By
this means he hoped to have them sue
him, and reval who employed them,
but he was never sued.
Spreckels declared that Henry o.
Havemeyer, Theodore Havemeyer and
John E. Searles, then officers Of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
and now dead, purchased a half in
terest in all the California refneries to
end the Spreckles sugar war, for
s2,225,000 cash, and six months later
sold this interest to the American
Sugar Refining Company for $5,00O,00
preferred stock. which was then worth
Sc, 900, 900. He said that John -Arbuckle
told him that he and the American had
buried the hatchet, and declared that
Arbuckle had attempted to get him to
reduce his output, which he refused to
do.
UNABLE TO BUY.
Mr. Spreckels testified that he had
been unable to purchase sugar in
Louisiana, although he offered more
than the American. He said that in
