WASHINGTON, 1). C, July 27. Resenting vigorously imputations Hint his notion in permitting Alaska lnnds to bo acquired by private cor porations nroso from any improper influences and maintaining that his acts have in no way inndo it possiblo for the forming of any monopoly in Alnskn, Prscidcnt Taft late Wednes day sent to congress a message on Controller bay situation, in response to a request from the scnnte. After detailing the activities of the Morgan-Guggenheim interests and other capitalists at and nenr Controller bay, the president in his message referred to tho locations there of Richard S. Ryan, represent ing tho Controller Railway & Navi gation company, giving in detail Ry an's efforts to obtain locations. Of the elimination from the Chugach na tional forest of a part of its terri tory President Taft said: Is Alone Responsible. '1 wish to bo as specific as possi ble upon this point and to say thnt 1 alone am responsible tho suggestion was mine." The message then says that Ryan, tho Controller Railway & Navigation company, its backers, Probts, Wetz led & Co. had never been shown to have any connection with the Morgan-Guggenheim Copper River Rail way company. lie points out thnt the rates of freight for coal from the Kntalla fields woul dalwnys be under government control. "Tho thing which Alaska needs," JACKSON HERE I0JEE ROAD President of Crater Lake Road Com mission Appointed by Governor Is Much Interested In Highway Built by Public Subscription. Fays the message, "is development, and where rights and franchises can be property granted to encourage an investment nnd construction of rail roads without conferring exclusivi privileges, I believe it in accord with good iwlicy to grant them." Monopoly Impossible. President Tnft then declares thnt monopoly at Controller bay is impos sible because no ono entrant can ac quire more than 1G0 acres of land In n body because on each side of thi 1C0 acres must be reserved a plot of government land nnd, third, be cause the distance from high water mark on Controller bay to low water mark is between two and three mile. niid that this mud flat is and will be retained in the possession of the fed eral government. In tho Inst part of his message President Tnft quotes the famous "Dick to Dick" letter which wa said to have been sent by Richrnd Rynn to former Secretary Ballingor. He refers with hent to the insinua tions that his brother, C. P. Taft, had induced him to make possible RynnV obtaining the Controller bny land. The president denies thnt he was ever ap proached by his brother in the mut ter nnd strongly intimates his doubt that Ryan ever wrote any such letter or that Ballingor ever received it. In closing the message he says: Is Against Monopoly. "I urn hi full bympathy with the concern of reubonublo und patriotic men that the valuable resources of Alaska should not be turned over to be exploited for the profit of greedy, absorbing nnd monopolistic corpora tions or syndicate. But everyone must know that the resources of Alaska can never become valuable either to tho people of Alaska or the public of the United States unless reasonable opportunity is granted to those who would invest their money to hecuro a return proportionate to the risk run in theinvestment and reason able under all the circumstunces. "On tho other hand the ucrimony of spirit und the intense malice that has been engendered in respect to the administration, of tho government in Alaska nnd the consideration of measures proproscd for her relief und tho wanton recklessness and eager ness with which attempts have been made to besmirch the characters ol high officials having to do with the Alaskan government, nnd even of por tions not in public, life, present u con dition thnt calls for condemnation and requires that the public be warned of tho demoralization that has been produced by tho hysterical suspicions of good peoplo and the unscrupulous and corrupt misrepro 6cntations of tho wicked. HuuipcrM Development. "Tho holpless slate to which tho credulity of some of tho malevo lent scandal mongering of others have brought tho people of Alaska in thoir struggle for its development ought to givo tho publio cnuso, for until a justor and fairer view bo taken in vestment in Alaska, which is neces sary to its development, will bo im possible and honest administrators nnd legislators will bo embarrassed in tho udvocnoy and putting into op- Col.

Jnckson Is much Interested In tho condition of tho present road to the lake especially that portion butlt by popular sub scription eliminating the Pumice grade. He was tho president of the State Crater Lake rond commission which was appointed by tho governor to expend tho $100,000 In building the road, later knocked out by the supremo court. "An automobile tour through Ore gon is a great pleasure," stated Col. Jackson this morning." The greatest objection I have to find Is tho fact that thero are not enough signboards along the route to keep a traveler on tho right road. TJio roads arc in a fair condition." Col. Jackson Is accompanied by Mrs. Jnckson and child. Miss Helen Whitney, F. C. Jackson, P. L. Jack son and Charles IloyU They will leave for tho lnfce either this evening or early tomorrow.
