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.
The state department at Washing
ton declined to take any action
In the polar controversy between ad
hi rents of Commander Peary and Dr.
Cook. A delegation representing the
Ni.tlonal Orographic society called on
Mr. Wilson to enlist the good offices
of the department In an effort to have
the authorities of the University of
Copenhagen allow the society to In
spect Dr. Cook's polar data.
The member of the committee se
lected by the Geographic society to go
to Copenhagen will be given the usual
letters of Introduction by the state de
pigment but no other assistance will
te extended to them.

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.
ESTATE OF $60,000,000

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.
The exportatlons of wheat during
the nine months ending Sept. SO, 1909,
amounted to only 27,768,901 bushels
against 6S, 178,935 bushels In the same
month of 190S, and of flour 6,288,283
barrels against 9.428.347 in the same
month of last year, suggesting that
the calendar year 1909 will show a
smaller exportation ot wheat than any
year in the last decade with the ex
ception of 1901 and 1905.

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."

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.

EXPERTS IN FRENCH TRIAL
M. Balthazard Proved Himself a Verlt
able Sherlock Holmes.
Paris, Nov. 9. 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. It is not to be understood
that there was anything funny In what
he said, but when a foreigner attempts
to speak their language the French
are always amused intensely no mat
ter how complimentary they may be
to the speaker.
Much has been heard of a myster
ious automobile which was seen on
