TAFT HAS AN ANANIAS

Washington, April 29.-President
Taft before leaving the White House
for his return to Massachusetts is.
sued a personal statement denying
Colonel Roosevelt's allegation that he
while secretary of war, had at cabi-
net meeting approved Mr.. Roosevelt S
decision not to Immediately prosecute
the International Harvester company.
President Taft's statement says he
never heard the International Harves-
ter company discussed at any cabinet
meeting and that the records of the
war department will show tnat he was
out of the country when the incident
referred to by the colonel occurred.
The following personal statement Of
the president was issued from the
White House:
"Mr. Roosevelt in his speech at Wor-
cester as reported by the public press
referring to the harvester trust suit
said:
AS a matter of fact Mr.. Taft was
member of my cabinet when this
identical case was fully discussed be-
fore the cabinet and he cordially ap-
proved the action taken and, indeed
as a matter of fact, my memory is
that he himself made the motion that
there should be no prosecution of the
harvester trust pending the investi.
cation into the trust by the bureau of
corporations ..
Quotes Root and Wilson.
"Mr. Roosevelt's memory is very
much at fault. | am authorized to say
by Mr.. Root and Secretary Wilson,
both of whom were members of the
cabinet at that time, that they have no
recollection whatever of hearing the
prosecution of the harvester matter
discussed in the cabinet and Mr.. Root
Is very certain that he never saw or
heard of Mr.. Herbert Knox Smiths
letter to Mr.. Roosevelt under date of
Sept. 81, 1907, on the subject.
Il am able to say the same thing.
So far as my recollection goes never
heard the harvester trust matter in
any cabinet meeting that attended
and l cannot be mistaken in the state
ment that never saw or knew of Mr..
Herbert Knox Smiths letter of Sept
1 to the president until after my ad-
Ininistration had begun and I never
saw or read the letter until two
months ago. ,........ ..
This correspondence shows that the
subject matter of the prosecution of
the International Harvester company
came before President Roosevelt on
Aug. %, 1907, which is the date of his
letter TO Attorney General Bonaparte;
that Mr.. Herbert Knox Smiths letter
discussing the question and advising
against suit was dated Sept. 21, 1907,
and that Mr.. Smiths letter was for
warded by direction of President
Roosevelt under date of Sept "a to
the attorney general with direction to
the attorney general to bring the let
ter to the president that week to talk
over the matter.

Heat, and particularly high, humid
temperature, will ripen green bana'
ma in one to two weeks after it is
severed from the mother branch. Con-
sequently, there is no time lost in
hustling the precious carloads from
the interior to the docks.
Not many years ago they were trans
ported by cart or on the backs OF
native burrors. This required a day
or more. At the docks they were load
ed by hand, a force of natives form
ing an endless line of men who pass
ed from dock to steamer deck, each
with a bunch upon his back. 1t re-
uuired from two to four days to load
under such conditions.
Modern methods have reduced the
time to from one t. two days. Little
narrow-gauge locomotives rush from
the fields to the docks in few hours
at the most, and on the wharf an in
clined, endless chain railway, operat
ed by steam, is set opposite each car

Washington Star: While you bask
in the warmth of the sun parlors of
coast resort hotels in winter, or while
you recline on the beach under sun
shades in summer, your one inclina-
ton is to look off across the broad
bosoms of the Pacific or the Atlantic
and watch the ships that pass. You
see all manner of vessels, from the
coasting schooner to the steam liner,
and sometimes the ponderous battle
ship. And among the number you
note occasionally in winter, frequent
ly in summer, trim, natty little white
steamers that seem to skim by with
the feetness of the winds.
You raise your glasses to inspect.
They prove to be neither government
vessels nor private yachts; they have
the unmistakable stamp of merchant
men. But why such speed?
Banana boats say the longshore
men in answer to your inquiries. And
then you wonder: Is it to meet the
demand of the consumer?
Were that the reason the importer
might take his time, confident in the
knowledge that ready money awaited
his cargo. But the fear of loss in.
duces that speed; and it is a loss
which only speed can prevent 1t is
the ravage produced by decay which
quickly follows the ripening and vel.
lowing.
If, therefore, there is one man who
infuses genuine hustling into his bust
ness it is the banana importer. He
pays no attention whatever to the
old Italian proverb, "lLore haste, less
speed" In fact, HI has coined a new
one. 1t is a short lapse of time from
maturity to the ripening of banana
and it is a long distance from the
tropics to the great centers of popu
lation of the United States. And
what would become of the banana sup
ply if his fight against time were
waged less strenuously? Consequent
ly he reasons, LESS speed, more
waste"
To prevent this waste every compo
nent of his industry is built for speed
He has expert machette handlers in the
tropics, who sever the tough stems OF
the heavy punches as easily as we
cut grass; he has little, narrow.gauge
locomotives that whiz from planta
ton to dock with many thousands OF
punches trailing in their wake; he has
patent loading devices that empty q
car almost as soon as it stops on the
wharf, fleet little cargo steamers that
cover the 14OO miles to the states il
four days or less, and ventilated cars
that meet them at the United States
seaports and rush the luscious frui
to all sections of the country before
it begins to yellow.

There are about sixty fleet steamers
engaged almost solely in fitting from
port to port in the West Indies to pick
up the crops as they are cut and
rush them back to the United States.
To successfully import bananas
means close attention to every little
detail of the trade The importer does
not depend on the mere shipment by
growers, as in many kindred trades.
He sends his own representatives eX-
perts in the handling of bananas, to
personally superintend the cutting and
loading at the place of growth.
There is no district in the world
where the banana flourishes to better
advantage than in the West Indian
Islands. An even, though warm, tenn
perature is a necessary quality of the
climate in which they will grow
Hence, the West Indian Islands, sur
rounded on all sides by the moderat
ing effect Of the oceans, is their nat

Clearing the last landmarks about
midnight, he laid a straight course for
Cape Maysi and crowded on all steam.
1t was the characteristic fruit cap
tain's reluctance to swerve from his
course that caused an abrupt end to
his voyage. About an hour later he
had sighted the green sidelight of a
sailing vessel on his port bow, which
denoted that the schooner's course
lay across his own. It was the same
old story of attempting to cross the
bows of a vessel. The captain of the
San Miguel misjudged the speed of
the schooner, and fifteen minutes
later the schooner crashed into the
side of the steamer and tore away
upper works and side plates within a
foot of the waterlne.
Only the quickest action on the part
of the crew of the San Miguel saved
the steamer from going down imme'
diately, for though the sea was calm
each rise and fall of the ground swell
poured tons of water into its hold.
Nothing was known of the accident
until the next morning, when the yes
sci reporter sighted the battered
steamer with smokestack and main
mast leaning at an angle close to the
decks. But the pluck and resources
of the sea hustlers are limitless, anC
before assistance could reach them

There are upward of 100000
punches of bananas imported into the
United States each year to satisfy the
tastes of it's citizens. This means
that there is an average of 550,000,00O
bananas devoured each year, for which
the people pay about 81 100000. Be-
ing easily bought, easily eaten and
easily digested, with a peculiar and
delightful flavor, the banana has be-
come one of the most popular fruits
and the most rapid seller. Conse-
quently to handle this great volume
without any considerable loss depends
more on the importer than on the con-
sumner. 1t is estimated that not more
than one-foIrth of one per cent is
lost through less speed" and about
one-seventh of one per cent after
reaching the markets.
Ten years ago the importation of
bananas was less than one-half the
present amount. 1t was then con-
sidered merely side issue, and the
steamers which brought the fruit to
the United States ports lost nearly
quarter of the shipment each voy-
age through premature ripening and
rotting.
It was that loss, in fact, which de-
veloped the industry to its present
high standard. The first successful
importer awakened the planters in the
West Indies, and the increased crops
attracted other importers. In the in
tervening ten years, therefore, no less
than FIVE importing companies have
sprung into existence, which feed the
great seaports of Boston, New York
Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans
Los Angeles and San Francisco.

SEARCHES FOR
 FRIENDS CRAVE
Savery Died in Bisbee in 1906 and His Last
 Resting Place
 Is Sought
MOUND IS UNMARKED

For the melancholy pleasure of looking upon the grave of a departed comrade. R. D. Williams. a miner and pTospector is making search of var ious records in an effort to locate in Evergreen cemetery the resting place of a friend. George Savery, who died in Bisbee in 1906.
 No record of the death and burial Of Savery was found at the cemetery sexton's office and so far "a search through the records of cne undertak- CTS of the city has proved unavailing. Yesterday Williams TaN almost con- cluded to give up the searcE. He mas no other motive in finding the rest ing place of his friend except to chant an eternal 'ave" to his soul, to repeat to the stiffness:
 Green be the earth above thee
 Friend of my better days;
 None knew thee but to love thee,
 None named thee but to praise.
 Genes From Goidfieid
 According to Williams. Savery came to Bisbee after making a stake at Goldfield looking for an opportunity to invest. After being here only a few weeks he became suddenly ill and died. With him at the time. were two boon companions who had Known him in Republic wash. They were Andy Clyde and John Sarofield and they saw their friend laid to rest in Evergreen and vanished to other fields
 Williams arrived in Bisbee a short time ago and began an investigation to learn of the location Of Savery's grave. If he could find Clyde and Sarofield they could tell him where his friend lies in Evergreen, but to find them would be to canvas the four corners of the world.
 Search is Pathetic
 T just want to see Georges grave" said Williams yesterday, with far away look of longing in his eyes-true honest eyes that even yet light up with the friendships formed in the Klondike gold fields. Many time George and l marched over the frog en snow fields, lodging the ''nigger heads" and enduring all kinds of hard ships. Hundreds of miles through Countless dHngers, we pulled our sledges from the back of our necks. I just want to find where he is buried and look on his grave. l would like 10 write to his sister and tell her that had looked on Georges grave"
 Ssyery was also known as ''Dugan and il is possible that he may be remembered by that name rather than the nnme of SayeTy. It is possible that some Of Bis5ee's old timers may remeber him or knows the present ad dres of Andy Clyde or John Sarofield- The Review will be glad to receive any information that might lead to the location of Savery's grave in Ev- ergreen cemetery
