PLATFORM PROMISES President Will Urge Congress to Conti lue Roosevelt Policy. Determination to Make the Great Cor porations Obey the Law Recom mendation That Interstate Com merce Commission Be Given Super vision of Issuing of Stocks and Bonds of Interstate Railroads No Radical Suggestions on Internal Waterways. President Taft will begin the prepar ation of his message to congress soon after his return to Washington Wed nesday. Ht, has indicated in his speech es what that message will be. It will locommend an unusually long pro gram for congress and one that Is likely to revive a good deal of the hos tility shown to the RooBevelt admin istration on the score of the railroad into legislation. That the president hiis been looking forward to the pos sibility of serious opposition within the ranks of his own party Is Indicated by his recent speeches. On several occas ions he hau warned the public that con gress, not the president, Is to be blamed for failure to enact laws clinching the Roosevelt policies. The president hns Indicated the Idea on which his coming message will be found In this statement: "The admin istration was elected on a platform that proposed to carry out the policies of Theodore R'insevelt. and we pro pone to keep that promise." There will bo a recommendation In the message that the Interstate com merce commission be given supervis ory power ovef the issuing of stocks and bonds by Interstate railroads. The prehldent will recommend also that no Interstate railroad after a cer tain period be allowed to own stock In any other railroad. As a further step In his so-called program for clinching the Roosevelt policies, Mr. Tnft will suggest a reorganization of the bureau of corporations, the Inter state commerce commission and the department of Justice. The three un der present conditions are constantly crossing each other's trail and dupli cating each other's work. The pres ident will seek to bring order Into the present system. The president In all his speeches has made It clear, how ever, that the legitimate corporations have nothing to fear from him, that he proposes no campaign against them. His message will contain something reassuring along this line, as In his addresses. TJip narrow-dig of the scope of the Sherman anti trust law is another rec ommendation that will be charged with the possibility of trouble In con gress. Mr. Taft will recommend that its application be limited to combin ations and conspiracies to suppress competition and establish monopolies! As to Inli'iid waterways there Is no llkIihood of any radical recommenda tions. TAMMANY L0STifs GRIP Elected Gaynor but Board of Estimate Is Fusion-Republican. The forcer! o( fusion will be In prac tical control of New York city's gov ernment after Jan. 1 next, although Tammany Hall's candidate for mayor, William J. Gr.ynor, was elected by 7:.ooo plurality. With the exception of mayor, the fusion sweep was complete. Not an other Tammai.y candidate on city or county tickets won. The success of the fusion forces In electing their candidates for comptrol ler and president of the board of al dermen, together with the victories of the fusion and anti-Tammany candi dates for the presidencies of all five boroughs, will give the opposition to Tammany 13 out of 16 votes in the important board of estimate. This board will have In Its hands, during its term of office, the expenditure of practically $1,000,000,000. On th(f county ticket the fusionlsts elected thulr candidates for district at torney, sheriff, county clerk, register and city court Judge, which, with their other victories, will place nearly every bit of patronage In the greater city In their hands. Below mayor, the fusion candidates on the city ticket won by substantial pluralities, that of W. A. Prendergast, for comptroller, being 74,55!), and that of John Purroy Mitchell for president of the board of aldermen was 71,031. WILL NOT TAKE SIDES State Department Not Interested In Peary-Cook Controversy.

REMOVAL OF L0EB 'Will Be Demanded of President by Some New York Importer. Merchants and Importers who are disgusted with condition in the New York custom house are planning to nsk President Taft to remove William Loeb, Jr., from his Job as collector of the port. The Sun has learned that repre sentatives of a number of large im porting concerns have held a meeting to talk over how the matter shall be put up to the president when he re turns to Washington. It was stated authoritatively that more conferences will be held on the same subject. Representatives of mercantile con cerns that have been squeezed by dis honest officials in the appraiser's de partment uu well as by grafters In the surveyor's division have made up their miuds to ask for a square deal from the presldcut of the United States. At the same time they want congress to send a commission to New York which will comb the customs service out and not permit Its reorts to be pigeon holed in the treasury department. The merchants who think that the only chance of securing permanently Improved conditions in the New York custom house is by letting Mr. Loeb out of the collector's office intend to tell Mr. Taft a number of things which have been concealed from ffira hither tomatters that have not reached the president cither through the stupid ity of some officials or tho excessive friendliness of others to the grafters.

LESS WHEAT EXPORTED Steady Increase In Share of Country'a Crop Consumed at Home. The continued decline in the ex portation of breadstufTs from this country lends Interest to a statement Just prepared by the bureau of statis tics of the department of labor which shows a steady Increase in the share of the wheat cop of the United States consumed at home and thus a decline in the quantity sent abroad.

E L'R. Glavis Writes of Alaska Coal Field Monopoly. Member of Taft's Cabinet la Again Ac cused of Failure to Take Steps to Save Immense Beds of Fuel from Fraudulent Entry Deposed Govern ment Employe Says He Was Re moved Unjustly by Mr. Taft. New York, Nov. 9. In an article prepared lor Collier's Weekly of Nov. 13 and copyrighted by that publication t. R. Glovla, removed In September iom the office of chief of field division tf the genoral land office, says: 'Copyrt. ll'OJ, by P. F. Collier & Sons. "From 1902 to 1909 1 was In the field icrvlee of the general land office, for ;he last two and a half years as chief )f field division. In September, 1909, I was summarily removed from my po rtion without a formal hearing by Richard A. Balllnger, secretary of the Interior, by authorization of the presl lent of th? United States. That re moval was accompanied by the publl :atlon of a letter of the president to Mr. Balllt'fer. I believe that my re moval was unfair. I believe the presl lent'B letter was grievously unfair, be cause hi it the president gives weight co a charge against me which I never bad the opportunity to see or answer. The president states In his letter that I withheld from him Information fa vorable to my superiors. I do not know ot cr.y such Information with held by me, nor am I conscious of do ing mv superiors injustice. Neverthe less, I should not now make any public statement of the matter were it not still possible to save for the govern ment many thousands of acres of coal lands which I believe the land office may in the near future grant to fraud ulent claimants. Coal Lands of Inestimable Value. "The coal lands of Alaska owned by the government amount to over 100,- 000 acres. They are the future coal supply of the nation, of almost Inesti mable value. Possession of them by private Individuals means great wealth. A mono)oly of them would be a na tional menace. "On Nov. 12, 1906, President Roose velt withdrew all coal lands in Alaska from public entry, but previous to that time there were about 900 claims filed, covering cbout 100,000 acres, nearly the whole of the coal fields. The law attempts to prevent monoo!y of such claims by limiting the amount of each claim and providing that each claim ant must take up the land In his own Interest and for his own use. This law has been interpreted by the supreme court of the Unifed States to forbid speculating In coal lands before entry, eltncr by dummy entrymen or by pre vious agreements to consolidate claims after entry. Of these 900 claims to Alaska coal lands, among them the so called Cunningham group, the majori ty are fraudulent. It Is asserted that the Guggenhelms are seeking a monop oly of the Alaska coal fields. "As to the action of the land office on these claims. I assert that the land office ordered the Cunningham claims to patent without due Investigation when Commissioner Balllnger knew they were under suspicion; that while In office Commissioner Balllnger urged congress to pass a law which would validate fraudulent Alaska claims; that shortly after resigning from of fice he became attorney for the Cun ningham group and other Alaska claims; tha'. soon after he became sec retary of fne Interior his office ren dered a decision which would have validated all fraudulent Alaska claims A reversal of that decision on every point, was obtained from Attorney General WIckershnm. How Glavis Wat Dismissed. "I assert that in the spring of 1909 the land office urged me to an early trial of these cases before the Investi gation was finished and when Secre tary Ballineer, as the president has stated, knew that the Cunningham claims were invalid. When I appealed to Secretary Balllnger for postpone ment he referred me to his subordin ates. The department of agriculture Intervened. I was superseded In the charge of the cases, and the man who superseded me Indorsed my rec ommendations, and the postponement was granted. Immediately thereafter 1 made my report on the Cunningham cases to President Taft and was dis missed from the service for Insubor dination. "The president has chosen to treat my report as a charge of criminality. I made no such charge, nor do I make It now. The president's letter Is a de tense of Mr. Balllnger and Mr. Den nett commissioner of the general land office! from charges not made In my report to him. I was not Investi gating either Mr. Balllnger or Mr. Den nett, but the Alaska coal cases." Lost $2,000 In Confidence Game. Rome, Nov. 9. Robert Demmler of IMtlsburg who has been sight seeing in this city for several days, lost $2, 000 last niulit as the result of a confi dence game played upon him by two Americans whom he met several days ago and with whom he has been visit ing various points of interest.

FORGE OF AMERICAN 1RPSH00TERS CI Aided Largely In Insurgents' Vic tory In Nicaragua, New Orleans, Nov. 9. A dispatch re ceived here claims a decided victory for the revolutionary force In Nicara gua at Paso I.iis I.njas, in the interior about 60 miles west of Bluefields. The town, which was occupied by the in surgents, was attacked by 1,600 of the regular Ze'.aya forces, who were re pulsed and scattered, their command er, Genera! Castello Chamorro, and 100 men. half of whom were officers, being killed. The victory, It is said, was largely due to the force of American sharp shooters organized by Colonel Matute at Bluefields. The Americans aimed at the enemy, which Is contrary to the practice of the average Nicaraguan soldier who shoots in the air, and picked off the Zelaya officers, thus de moralizing the regular army. The Nicaraguan consul In this city reports a battle at Paso Las Lajas and while admitting a heavy loss, in cluding that of the commander, Gen eral Chamorro, claims a victory for the government forces. It is reported that Colouel Vergala of the revolu tionists has reached Lake Nicaragua, and that a filibustering expedition composed of Nicaraguan exiles has sailed from Salvador to a Nicaraguan port on the Pacific.

The greater part of the day at the Stelnhell trial was giv en over to the testimony of experts. On the whole the ovtdence adduced fa vored the accused woman. They made It seem almost certain that no narcotics had been aomlnlstered. M. Achery, the Stelnhell family physi cian, whom the presiding Jude an nounced as "the doctor and friend of Madame," quickly corrected the state ment by remarking that he was mere ly a friend of the family. M. Balthazard proved himself a ver itable Sherlock Holmes. In his de ductions with regard to the distance between inkstalns on the floor extend ing from the upset inkstand to the bed, he reached the conclusion that they were made by the set of a woman's petticoats or a dressing gown, as the Intervals corresponded with a wo man's pace. He believed the spot on Madame's kneo was not ink but came from a pastel such as Mme. Stelnhell was In the habit of using. The first touch of comedy In tho trial came when Burllngham gave his evidence.
