FILINGS ON CONTROLLER BAY
 LAND REJECTED BY OFFICE

Juneau, Alaska, April 20.--The Juneau land office has notified Frank F. Davis of Lake Mills, Wis; Arnold L.. seheurer of New York city, and James J. Ryan of Katalla, Alaska, that their filings of soldiers scrip on shore lands on Con- troller Bay, Alaska, have been rejected because of noncompliance with the laws in the filings. This land was filed upon February 1s. 1911.
 On April 2O 1911, Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin introduced a resolution in the United States Senate calling upon the Secretary of the Interior to furnish all facts concerning coal entries made upon lands withdrawn from the Chugach na- tionai forest reserve in Alaska, and later restored to the public doman under or- der of President Taft.
 It was alleged in newspaper articles about that time that Richard S. Ryan, said to be a representative of the Gug- genheim- Morgan syndicate, had been per mitted through the lnstrumentallty of President Taft, and then Secretary of the Interior Ballnger. 10 obtain control of the whole water front of Controller bay. the natural harbor for the shipment of goal from the Boring river fields. e In July was published what purported to be a letter from Richard 5. Ryan to Richard A. Balllnger. concerning these lands. The letter began Dear Dick" and was signed Dick" Both Ryan and Ballnger denied all knowledge of the letter. The letter mentioned Charley Taft as having used his influence in favor of Ryan and a committee of the House began an investigation of the Ryan claims.
 President Taft, on October 10, 1911, sent
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-21

message to Congress reviewing the his tory of the setting apart of Controller bay shore lands. and denied his brother was in any way interested. Charles r Taft also made denial, and the Guggen- heim Morgan syndicate asserted that Con troller bay was worthless. The congress sional committee dropped the investiga- tion and the local land office action Is expected to be the last chapter of the story of the alleged attempt to monopolizc Controller bay.
 The lands the filings upon which have been rejected are mudflats. and are said to be of no value for any purpose.

 Senator Smith then announced the close of the hearing in New York. and said all the witnesses had teen summoned to appear in Washington, the inquiry to be resumed there at 10:50 Monday morning.

 Safe

London, April 20.- Captain Haddock of the steamship Olympic on arriving at Plymouth this morning denied that tho Olympic sent a wireless report to the effect that the Allan liner Virglnian was towing the Titanic and that all of the lat- ter's passengers were safe on the vessel.
 "rhe story that I sent the report about the Virgnlan towing the Titanie,' Cap tan Haddock of the Olympic said, ''is fragrant invention. So soon as I heard of the disaster from the Carpathia 1 dis patched the information by wireless 10 New York to the White Star officials of the number of persons saved and of the foundering of the Titanic. That was on Monday afternoon. The Olympic steamed nearly 400 miles before dlscover- ing that she would be too late to render relief

 He knew his time was at hand. and he was ready to meet 1t as a man should, and I and all of the others who cherish his memory are glad that he faced the situation that way. which was the only possible way a man of his caliber could face it.
 Maj. Blanton Winship. U. s. A.. who shared an apartment in Washington with Major Butt. was at the pier when the Csrpathia landed to get what information he could of Major Butt and Frank D.

Much Work Done

Washington, April 2o.-An enormous amount of work in the way of strength oning and mintaining the big levees threatened with destruction by tho floods in northern Mississippi already has been done by the army engineers, but much more Is ahead of them So thoroughly has this work been done, and so quietly that few persons outside of the immediate threatened districts are aware of it's vast importance. Secretary Stimson, through General Bixby chief of engineers, is keeping
 in close touch with this work, and B receiving detailed reports every day from the engineers in charge.
 The food having now assumed it's most dangerous condition in the lower Mississippi, the efforts of tho engineer corps are being concentrated in that quarter, and so far. with excellent re- suits. Maj. Clark S. Smith. in charge of the Memphis district. reported to- day that he had spent s92,000. Cap. Clarence S. Sherrill, in charge of the New Orleans district. has spent sS5,- 0Oo. and Capt James 4 Woodruff at vicksburg has spent $e3500.
 Top Levees With Bags
 This money has gone principally for labor, but much was spent for topping levees with sandbags; for strengthen ing the slides of the rear stops of the levees, for placing washboards to re- sist the current at exposed points, and for transportation of material. The officers reports show the exact loca- tion of this protective work with the number of miles in each reach "topped' and the amount of construction mate rial on hand to meet emergency calls. Photographic advices received today by the public health and marine hospital service from officers stationed at Mem- phis, St Louis and Louisville say sani- | tary danger from the floors in the Mis- sissippi is from the standing pools Of water in which mosqultos may breed and spread malaria
 The chief medical officer at the New Orleans quarantine station reports that much of the station is now under wa ter and that the protecting revetment IS becoming undermined
