fiEVISED JAND LAWS
Recommendation of Secretary
Ballinger In His First Report.
Legislation Necessary to Enable the
Government to Retain Control of
Water Power and Reservoir Sites on
the Public Domain Private Enter
prise to Be Encouraged Under Na
tional Supervision and Control.
A strong recommendation that the
public lands and other natural r
rources shall be hold in control of the
government, that the land lawn shall be
so changed as to prevent further dep
redations on the public domain, and
nn emphatic declaration of his belief
In the policy of conservation, briefly
summarizes the first report of Richard
A. Ballinger as secretary of the In
terior. Secretary Ballinger 's report, It la
known, was scrutinized by President
Taft before it was given out for pub
lication and reflects the attitude, the
administration will assume in the
matter of conservation. The Tuft pol
icy is expressed briefly In this state
ment taken from Secretary Bollinger's
report:
"In this present policy of conserv
ing the natural resources of the pub
lic domain, whilo development Is the
keynote, the best thought of the day
Is not that development shall be by
national agencies, but that wise utlli
ration shall be secured through pri
vate enterprise under national super
vision and control."
The immediate provocation for ths
Balllnger-Plnehot row was based upon
a charge Involving tremendously val
uable coal lands In Alaska. It was al
leged that Mr. Ballinger had shown an
undue Interest In hastening to patent
claims for coM lands in which the
Cunningham Interests, which he had
foimerly represented as counsel, were
concerned.
In this connection he makes an Im
portant recommendation with a view
"to preventing monopoly or extortion"
In the disposal of lands bearing coal.
On this point he says:
"As regards new legislation the
present coal land laws respecting the
states and territories, us well as Alas
ka, should be supplanted by an act
fully meeting existing r.s well as fu
ture conditions. The Inducements for
much of the crime and fraud, both con
structive and actual, committed under
the present system can be prevented
by separating the right to mine from
the title to the soil.
"I believe the most advantageous
method wiil be found In a measure au
thorizing the lease or sale of the coal
deposits in the lands, subject to for
feiture for failure to exercise the
rights granted under such reasonable
regulations as may be imposed.
EVELYN VISITS HER HUSBAND
Thaw and Hit Mother Were Much Sur
prised to See Her.
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbltt Thaw, accom
panied by her brother, Howard T.
Nesh!tt, came to Fishklll Landing.
Arriving at' the hospital, Mrs. Evelyn
Thaw scut Hairy Thaw her card. He
was so anlonlshed that he could only
ejaculate: "You here, Evelyn." Her
only answer was "Yes, I'm here,
Harry."
The two conversed for some time,
and iu the midst of their talk Mrs.
Mary C. Thaw and her maid arrived,
ladm with the usual bundles of good
things for Harry. The elde4 Mrs.
Thaw was naturally as much awnish
ed as her son to st Evelyn at th asy
lum. The three engaged in an mm
est talk for about half an hour. Its
result was apparently very unsatisfac
tory to Evelyn, for at its conclusion she
arose from her cha'r in anger and
Bald: "I shall never come to see you
again.' She left Immediately and
went to New York.
Evelyn's purpose In bringing per
brother is not known, although it is susr
pected that It was with a purpose tq
secure evidence for the divorce pro
ceedings which she threatens to In
stitute. '
A reporter Interviewed Mrs. Mary
C. Thaw. All that she would say in
response to the queries was: "I have
absolutely nothing to say."
During her stay in town, Evelyn
visited a '-fi-taln hotel and Inquired of
Its proprietor: "Have I ever commit
ted any Improper actions In your ho
tel?" The answer was In the nega
tive. TOWER HILL MANSION,
Mrs,
i. Harriman IXarrylng Out Plana,
of Her Late Husband.
Instead of being razed as had been
expected, Echo Lake villa, the fur
tier country home of the late E. H.

All of the paintings, brlc-a-brao and

33 rooms and Is connected by a glass
enclosed passageway to the Casino, a
magnificent building erected nine
years ago.
Under the direction of Mrs. Hani
man the work op the $3,000,000 man

smoothly as during the l(fa of Mr.
Harrlman, al of the iatter.'s original
Ideas being carried, out to the letter.
MRS. ROOSEVELT RETURNS
Collector Loeb With an Umbrella
Protected Her. From Camera Fiends.
Mrs. Edith Carew Roosevelt, wlfeof
the former president, was a passenger
by the, North German Lloyd liner
Konnlg Albert, In from the Mediter
ranean. Her daughter Miss Ethel ac
companied her. Collector Loeb went

came up from quarantine with Mrs.
Roosevelt, who did not leave her cabin
until the liner had docked.
It was sleeting and In escorting MrB.
Roosevelt down to the pier over the
unprotected part of the gangplank Mr.
Loeb hoisted his umbrella. When he
spied several photographers trying to
fet a picture of Mrs. Roosevelt, Mr.
Loeb used his umbrella as a Bhleld,
switching it so deftly that the camera
men were able to show later nothing
but negatives portraying a large and
shining umbrella.
Douglas Robinson, Mrs. Roosevelt's
brother-in-law; Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth. Teddy Roosevelt, Jr., Congress
man Corks of Oyster Bay, Joseph Mur
ray and a number of personal friends

Mrs. William Sheffield Cowles,
In Connecticut.
It was said that Mrs. Roosevelt
would return to Italy, where she has
been stopping for the last several
months at the villa of her sister. Miss
Carew, early in February, to await the
return of Colonel Roosevelt from the
jungles, and that she would accom
pany him and her son Kermlt to this
city.
CHERRY MINE SEALED
Bodies of 200 Miner Cannot Be Re
covered For Three Months.
Not since the recovery of the first
bodies from the depths of the fire
wrecked St. Paul mine at Cherry, 111.,
have such scenes been witnessed
as the heart rending picture at the
sealed mouth cf the mine. Hundreds
of giief-strlckeii women, with worn
faces and fatherless children clinging
In fear to their dresses, gathered in
groups about the shaft of the mine,
sobbing and moaning. Their sacred
dead are lost forever.
The realization of the horrible end
of the great disaster has aroused a
frantic grief. Women fell on their
knees, dragging their children with
them, sobbing out their cries of de
spair. Many men In Cherry still
cling to the bolief that with the seal
ing of the mine living men among tbe
nearly 200 still missing, have been
doomed to death.
Mine experts scout the Idea apd
state that such Is an impossibility.
"Nothing can be done until the fire
has died out and the extreme danger
of entering the shaft is eliminated,"
declared W. W. Taylor, superintend
ent of the mine.
It was said by mine owners that
the mine would be sealed (or at least
three months until the present dan
gerous fire Is smothered. Despite
this, it was said on good authority that
the mine shaft was to be permanently
sealed and another shaft opened.

Large Portion of Message to Be
Devoted to This Subject.
Two Bills Prepared by Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham In Accordance
With Policy Outlined ' by the Presi
dent In His Des Moines Speech.
Provision For Changes In the Inter
state Commerce Act Conference
With Railroad Men.
Washington. Nov. 30. An Import
ant conference was held at the White
House to put the finishing touches on
the proposed legislation amending the
Interstate commerce act. This pro
posed legislation will be submitted to
congress at Its approaching session.
The two bills prepared by Attorney
General Wickersham under the di
rection of the president In conformity
1th the policy outlined by the pres
ident In his Des Moines speech were
up for consideration. In addition to
the president and the attorney gen
eral, the participants In the confer
ence Included Senators Elklns and
Cummins and Franklin K. Lane, Inter
state commerce commissioner.
Secretary of War Dickinson, Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson and
Frank B. Kellogg, the trust buster,
were In the cabinet room at various
times during the conference but did
not participate In It to any great ex
tent.
The bills under the present plans
will be Introduced In congress as soon
after It meets as possible. No one
was selected to lead the fight In either
branch of congress, but the president
can find many men to take care ol
the measure. It Is believed, when he
wants them.
Some of the president's callers are
of the opinion that to his mind rail
road legislation Is most important,
and expectc to see a large portion,
the message devoted to that subject.
The bill which will have the admin
istration's support will provide the
changes In the Interstate commerce
act which Mr. Taft has spoken of In
recent addresses and which were r
viewed by Attorney General Wickers
ham at Kansas City this month.
That he is still gathering evidence
on the subject was shown when Mr,
Taft received President W. R. Fin
ley, General Counsel Thorn and As
sistant General Counsel Humphreys
of the Southern railway. The rail
way officers talked with the president
particularly about the proposal to
clothe the interstate commerce com
mission with power to establish new
routes and affording the privilege to
shippers of selecting their own routes.
The railroad men are understood not
to have objected to these propositions
but merely explained the carriers'
point of view.

TRIAL OF SUGAR EMPLOYES
In Criminal Branch of United States
Circuit Court.
New York, Nov. 30. The trial of
James P. Bendernagel, Oliver Spltzer
and four of the five sugar trust weigh
ers who are under Indictment began
In the criminal branch of the United
States circuit court before Judge
James L. Martin of Vermont. So
much time was taken up in arguments
for a demurrer by counsel for the de
fendants and by a motion to quash
the indictments that when the court
lose a few minutes after 5 o'clock the
fury was not complete.
It was evident from the line of
questioning adopted by the defence
In Its examination of the Jurymen that
po small amount of Importance Is at
tached to the influence on the public
mind of newspaper and magazine ar
ticles and of the published statements
of Henry L. Stimson, special prosecu
tor for the government. Also the very
fact that the government's interests
are represented by a prosecutor other
than the United States district attor
ney, was emphasized by the defend
ants' lawyers.
Judge Martin cleared up this point,
however, when he said that whether
'.he government was especially anx
ious to convict the defendants or not
the court and the Jury were not to al
low that fact to make a difference in
(he hearing of the case.
JOHN MORLEY'S WARNING
Adoption of Lansdowne's Amendment
Involved Transfer of Taxing Power.
London, Nov. 30. Viscount Morley
of Blackburn, secretary of state for
India, better known as John Morley,
was the first speaker when the debate
on the finance bill was resumed In
the house of lords.
Ixird Morley said the amendment
proposed by the Marquis of Lans
downe, which declared in effect that
the lords were not justified in giving
their assent to the budget until the
question had been Submitted to the
country, Involved the transfer of the
taxing power and the forcing of penal
dissolution. They, the government,
were asked to change representative
supremacy Into an oligarchy. The
resolution of the Marquis of Lans
down, If adopted, would throw out the
whole financial machinery of the year.
If there was one thing that could not
be submitted to a plebiscite, declared
Lord Morley, It was a budget. The
electors cc.uld not pronounce on a
financial scheme. He ridiculed the
Idea that the new taxes were revolu
tionary. Ixrd Morley warned the house that
there was no such a provocative of
the fiercest conflicts as a revision of
the constitution. The note, he said,
had been sounded for a very angry
and perhaps a prolonged battle.

GENERAL GRANT INDISCREET
Thought to Have Spoken Without a
Knowledge of the Facts.
Chicago, Nov. 30. Military and po
litical circles are discussing a report
Trom Washington that Major General
Frederick Dent Grant may be re
buked by tho state department for
utterances In connection with the at
titude of the United States toward
Nicaragua. It is said the commander
of the Department of the Lakes may
expect an official communication from
the capital this week.
General Grant admits the authen
ticity of the newspaper interview in
which he expressed the conviction
that, should it be shown that Leroy
Cannon and Leonard Groce were al
lied with the revolutionists seeking to
overthrow the Zelaya government, the
United States will have no valid claim
for Indemnity. He denied, however,
that his expression was an official one,
saying that it was only his own per
sonal opinion and was given for what
It might be worth.
It Is said the authorities at Wash
ington feel that General Grant has
been Indiscreet and assert that In the
present instance he spoke without
knowledge of the facts.
When his attention was called to
the Washington dispatches General
Grant was disposed to treat the mat
ter lightly. He said that he was not
at all concerned and had no fear of an
official "cull down."
