THE tart AND TEDDY TUsSLE,

The struggle between President
Taft and ex-President Roosevelt for
control Of the Republican national
convention continues to be the most
interesting and spectacular feature OF
the pending presidential campaign,
and it is becoming more interesting
and spectacular every day.
Mr.. Roosevelt has had the best
recent primaries in Nebraska, Ore
gon and West Virginia, while Mr.
Taft has won out in New Hampshire
and seems about to score over MS
competitor In Iowa and Missouri. The
Massachusetts primary Is to be held
next Tuesday, and its outcome may
have an important bearing on the
final result to be recorded at the
Chicago convention, which Is to as
sembIe June IS.
Mr.. Roosevelt has taken occasion
lately to mention and criticize Prest-
dent Taft by name in the course OF
political speeches, and the president
signalized the opening of his Massa-
chusetts campaign on Thursday by
considering these criticisms seVatim
and replying to them in a straight
| forward and emphatic manner that
will no doubt prove very satisfying
| to his friends and supporters and
put his erstWhile guide, philosopher
and friend" on his mettle to meet
and counter. President Taft shows
that In several instances where his
actions have been most severely
condemned, they were taken with
the full knowledge and approval .ot
his then supporter and present op,
ponent, and that the positions now
assumed by the latter on the leading
tissues of his campaign are in direct
opposition to his former attitude
and utterances on the same sub
jects.
/ AS a browning illustration of Mr.
Roosevelt's instability and disregard
of pledges, the president quotes the
following deliberate and voluntary an
nouncement made by Presiden
Roosevelt In November, 1904:
"The wise custom which limits the
president to two terms regards the
substance and not the form, and IN
der no circumstances will | be
candidate for or accept another nom
nation"
President Taft's declaration that he
: Is not receiving a square deal from
his former friend and patron seems
well founded.

FAILURE or THE TRUToNIA BANK.


The Teutonia Bank, Of New Or
leans, has been placed in the hands
Of a receiver, an Investigation by
the state banksexaminer and the dis
trict attorney of Orleans parish hav-
ing disclosed gross mismanagemen
and crookedness on the part OF sew
eral OF the institutions officers and
employees, resulting IN an impair
ment of the capital and RESOURCES to
the extent of approximately $780,
600. Criminal charges are pending
against President Eugene Butler.
Vice President Adam Wagatha, Di-
rector Jos. H. Gomila, and former
Assistant Cashier Frank J. Braud,
while Cashier w. e. Dunn and AS
sistant Cashier A. E. Mazurette and
two or three others have been placed
under bond as material witnesses.
Dunn and Mazurette have acknoWl-
edged falsifying books and securl-
ties for the purpose of deceiving the
examiners, at the instance and with
the knowledge OF Butler and Gomila,
who were in complete control of the
banks affairs.
T. Walter Danziger is receiver for
the broken bank and Is making such
good progress in the work Of calling
In loans and utilizing resources that
he feels confident the depositors will
receive fully fifty per cent Of their
claims 1t was at first feared that
the failure was such a bad one the
creditors could scarcely look for
more than a ten per cent dividend.
The collapse Of the Teutonia nat
urally made many depositors in the
other New Orleans banks uneasy,
and some Of the more timid began
drawing out their deposits, but a
rigid inquiry by the clearing house
showed all the city's banks in sound
condition, and public confidence Is
being rapidly restored.

.L|PPY-DAV|S COAL
CLAIMS CANCELLED
Lands Are Situated in Con-
troller Bay Country and
Said to Be Valuable.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 23,-Fred
bennett, commissioner of the general
land office, has ordered cancella tion
of the twelve Lippy-Davis coal claims
in the Bering river district The
claims were located by Mayor George
F. Cotterill and Thomas s. Lippy of
Seattle and their assistants.
Charges were filed against the claims
in June, 1911, and Commissioner Den
nett declares them substantiated II
was alleged that the location and sub
sequent coal lands declaratory state
ment filings therefor were not made by
the original locators in their own in
terest, but under an agreement that
after patent were obtained, consoli-
dation of the various interests would
be effected and title vested in a cor.
poration. No mines, it was asserted
were opened on the claims.
The Lippy- Davis claims are twenty,
seven miles northeast of Katalla, ad
east, and are declared in the prospec
tus and advertising matter of the Alas
ka Petroleum g. Coal company to be OF
enormous value. The locators are all
stockholders in the Alaska Petroleum
& Coal company, which was organized
for the stated purpose of prospecting
for oil in the Katalla country and tc
which all the locators transferred their
coal claims in the Controller Bay coun
try. The Bering River Coal Railway
company was organized by stockholder:
in the Alaska Petroleum Coal com
pany for the purpose of developing the
Lippy.Davis coal claims. Stock in this
railroad was sold in many cities in
the United States, and it is said tha,
French capitalists had agreed to buy
the bonds of the railway when the gov
ernment filed charges against the Goa
claims and thus put an end to the ne
gotiations.
The railway company owns 1926
acres of waterfront on Controller bay
and has filed on a right of way from
Controller BAY to the coal field.
