Participant.
President Taft on the Morgan-Guggenheim
Interests.
By Clyde H. Tavenner,
Special Washington Correspondent of The
Courier.
Washington July 17. Did Pres
ident Taft throw open Control
ler bay under conditions especial
ly designed to permit the Mor
gan Guggenheim interests 'and
no other to gobble up this rich
est of the Alaska land prizes be
fore anyone else could have a
chance to file?
This is the important question
to which the House committee
on expenditures in the interior
department is seeking an an
swer. If such was not the adminis
tration, why were these lands
thrown open by such unusual
procedure by a secret executive
order instead of by proclamation?
Another query: If there was!
no conspiracy between the ad
ministration and the big exploit
ing interest, how does it come
that Speculator Ryan supposed
agent of the Morgan Guggen
heim alone.knew of theissuance
of President Taft's secret (?) or
der and was able to rile a soldiers
scrip on 160 rods of Controller
bay water front! within three days
after President Taft signed the
order eliminating the land from
the national forest and before

any other man cou
of the order?
Another extraordinary feature
of the case is this; The un vari
able rule had been to give 60 days
noive before any claimant could
file on this land, but according to
Mr. Dennett of the General Land
O ffi i c e, and when the
President's order first came
to him the 60 days provision was
in it, and when he next saw the
order there was noVime allowed
whatever for notice to the public
not even a day.
That was actually an unde.r
1 standing between the admmistra
tion and the men who were to
profit through the President's
amazing secret order is not a
state of affairs so remarkable to
those who have been closely fol
lowing things in vvasnmgton.
There have been precedents par-
alleling such a performance,
When the railroad regulation.bill
was sent to the last Congress by
the President the public was
m absolution ignorance of its
contents. But the fact developed
later that although the President
j had not seen fit to take the pub
lic into confidence, he had allow
ed the railroad interests not onlj
to suggest the lines along which
the bill should be framed, and to
load it with jokers against thi
public but to actually pass upon
and 0. K. the bill before the.peo
ple were even permitted to know
that its preparation was contem
plated. Before the investigation into
this newest Alaska land jugglery
is finished it promises condi
tion of affairs beside which the
attempted theft of Alaska coal
lands is inconsequential. .
The probe is in charge of Re-
presentative James. M. Graham
of Illinois, one of the really bjg
men in the Democratic house,
whose career from the very first
day he entered Congress has
stamped -him as a ma above
partisanship and one especilly
qualified by service on the Bal
lineer investigating co mmittee
to make the inquiry he is now so
conscientiously engaged in.
DURHAM DISTRICT CflNFFRENCE.
The Durham District Conference
convened in Concord Churo h
July l3thC an'd adjourned on the
following Saturday. In m'any res
pects this was the best conference
of its history. Bishop John C. Kilgo
presided and dicC the oreaching.
He was at his best and that means
the preaching was of a high order
and uplifting.
All of the twenty three charges
were represented and all the pas
tors with one exception were pre
sent. The Bishops searching ques
tions revealed the fact that the
different charges are in a healthy
condition and making progress.
The reports on the different
questions, such,as Evangelization,
Education. Finance, Temperance,
Missions, Sunday Schools, Lea-
gues, etc, were full and compre
hensive. These reports were ab
y discussed by the delegates and
preachers. The Bishop's talks on
all these reports were very help
ful and inspiring.
The people of the Concord sec-

matter, could have been selected
to hold the conference. Many
were the expressions that we
heard of the splendid g hospitality : g
dispensed by these good people.
All the delegates went, away with
0e feeling tjiat they would ;like to
make another visit to Concord. '
