LETTER NOT FILED
"Dick-to-Dick" Message De

ANTI-TAFT PLOT APPEARS
Private Secretary of Balltngcr and
Fisher Tells How Woman Writer
Made Only Casual Exami
nation Into Facts.
M'r-ntinued From First Pxe.
the letter Into her own hand and found
attached to it by a clip this amazing
postscript:
Dear D(lck) I wsnt to see the Presi
dent the other day about this Controller
Bay affair. The President asked m whom
It wss I represented. I told him. accord
ing Id oar agreement, that I represented
myself. But that didn't seera to satisfy
bun. So I sent for Charlie Tatt and asked
him to tell his brother who It was I really
represented. Th President made no
further objection to my claim. Tours.
DICK.
Charges Arc Untrue.
"Mis. Abbott had other thing, to
tell, among them that I had told her
that I wrote Secretary Flsher'a report
to the Senate last April on the Control
ler Bay matter, and that the Secretary
didn't know anything about the case or
about Alaska. All of this Is untrue.
-A relation of th exact facta may
prove of interest. It was in May, soma
weeka prior to my re.lgnatlon from the
Interior Department that Miss Abbott
ram In with a letter of Introduction
to Secretary Fisher from Norman Hap
good, editor of Collier's Weekly. The
letter .aid that Mis. Abbott was re
liable and asked the Secretary to tell
her about Controller Bay.
"She appeared a very well bred, mod
est and Intelligent younp: woman and
made a favorable impression on both
tha Secretary and myself. The Secre
tary turned her over to me with In
structions to let her ee the file. The
only reservation he made waa that ah
should not copy documents that we
might later have to embody Into a fur
ther report to the Senate.
"I related the history of the whole
matter to Miss Abbott, hurried through
the pile of paper, to Indicate where
he would find this or that fact, sent
out and got mapa and other Informa
tion for her and did my very best to
let her know all about the case. She
I entirely mistaken In assuming that
I tried to hold out any document,
from her.
' Full File Submitted.
-When I had given her the verbal
history. Illustrated by documents. I
placed the entire file into her hand,
and told her to take what notes she
liked, but to refrain from copying any
thing In full. She agreed to this. But.
unlike an earnest newapaper worker.
he did not dig Into the tile. She exam
ined It most casually and made but
very few note.. Then I began to sus
pect that she belonged to that class
of writer, that la handicapped by
facta. However, I .aid nothing; of my
suspicions.
"She waa In and out of the ortlce for
several days, and never during the
whole time did she mention having
found the 'amaslng -postscript. It is
almost needless to add that I knew
nothing of it and had never aeen kt.
"The day before 1 left the depart
ment she returned with the manuscript
of her article In a sealed envelope and
asked that it be given to the Secre
tary unopened. I gave It to him un
opened and it had not been opened
when I left the department.
"Subsequently. Secretary Fisher tells
me. ah cam back and asked him to
read the article. He did so and frank
ly told her he could not approve it, as
It was full of insinuations and Innuen
does, without having sufficient facts.
She agreed that he was correct.
"Her story, aa it then stood, did not
contain a reference to the amaslng
postscript- In all her talk with the
Secretary ah did not once refer to it.
Rejected Story Rewritten.
"Norman Hapgood advised with Sec
retary Fisher about the story and re
fused to accept it from Mlsa A boot t
And then, after all this, he rewrote
the story weeka later. Inserted the
amazing postscript, and then sold It
to th Newspaper Enterprise Associa
tion and the Philadelphia North Amer
ican. The association named is affil
iated with the Scripps-McRa service
and Is a bitter opponent of the Admin
istration and a 'booster for La toi
lette. The North American is In the
same class.
"Now, as to the letter of July 13.
110. to which Miss Abbott says the
postscript was appended by a clip. The
notation on the letter anows tnat on
July 14. 1910. It was forwarded to the
White House to go with the other pa
pers In the matter, which was- then
under consideration. It remained at
th White House from then until
some time last April, when It waa re
turned to the Interior Department.
With It when It waa returned was all
(he White House file on the subject.
These documents were returned to as
sist us in making up our report to
the Senate.
"Is It at all likely that if such a
postscript ever existed It would have
been sent back to th department?
"When all these papera came down
from the Whit House In April they.
with the departmental files, were turned
over to S. W. Williams, an assistant at
torney of th departmental law force,
to prepare a memorandum for the re
port to the Senate. He had all the
papers for several days. Naturally ha
had to go over all of them with ex
treme care. H asserts that ba saw
no such postscript-
Plot Seems Apparent.
"Secretary Fisher concluded to secure
till another memorandum for the re-
oort. o all the papers were delivered to
Chief Dudley of the railroad division
of the General Land Office. He had
them for several days, going over
them all with care. He also testifies
that he saw nothing of such a postscripts
-When the Dudley arsit came oacsi
with the files I laid the whole matter
before the Secretary. ne ana i to
gether went over the documents. In
cluding the letter of July 1J. At that
time neither he nor I saw any such
postscript.
"It was some weeks later that Miss
Abbott came In. Meantime all the
papera had remained in my possession.
She waa th last person with whom I
went over the file before I resigned.
No such postscript as she mentions waa
found by me or seen by me at that
or any other time.
"Naturallv the question Is, where
did she get It? I ln't know. But
ther Is evidenc that tha whole thing
is a 'plant' to injure the President. Hera
are some of the facts:
"The flrat talk of the 'amazing post
script" came out through John E.
Lathrop. who Is correspondent for the
Portland Evening Joufnal and a semi
official press agent for Jonathan
Bourne. On July 2. four days before
the Philadelphia North American story
appeared. Lathrop, who had been very
friendly tlth Miss Abbott for some
weeks, printed a story in the Sunday
Journal in which he said that 'Dick'
Ryan last year told the private sec
retary of Delegate Wlckersham. of
Alaska, that he R?an) had got Charles
P. Taft to go to his brother, the
President, and get him to put through
the Controller Bay elimination order.
Lathrop went on to say that this state
ment was substantiated by a letter 're
cently found in the files of the In
terior Department,' from Ryan to Sec
retary Balllnger.
La Follctte Boomers Blamed.
"Lathrop tells other newspapermen
thst he got his Information from Miss
Abbott. He. Judson Welllver, one of
the chief figures In the La Follette
boom, and Gllson Garoner, another
writer of the same class, appear to be
the principal promoters of Miss Ab
bott and her story. Delegate. Wlck
ersham Is betraying much interest in
the whole affair and is In frequent con
sultation with these.
"Altogether they produced quite a
sensation for a few days with the 'Dick
to Dick letter,' as It has come to be
known. Then, as evidence began to
accumulate to show up their story,
their very good friends. Chairman
Graham and his committee of Investi
gation, stepped Into the breach. Sec
retary Fisher appeared and pleaded
that the 'Dick to Dick letter might
bo Investigated at once so that the
question could be cleared up. This
did not suit the purpose of the antl
Admlnistratlon crowd. They do not
want the letter story punctured too
soon. Accordingly, they have been
driveling along with scientific evidence
regarding Controller Bay. whfch evi
dence Is beautifully distorted by the
combination s reporters, and letting the
really Important matters go over. In
other words, the so-called investiga
tors want the Insinuations against the
Fresldent to sink into the public mind
before evidence will be permitted to
disprove them.
"I am calmly told that the committee
has decided that I will he examined be
fore, not after, .ulss Abbott. Apparent
ly they want to find out how 1 will
testify so that subsequent testimony
may be cut to fit. Since I have but
one story to tell It makes no particular
difference to me. but the arrangement
Is an Indication of the character of the
alleged investigation."

HEAT iTSUNG FISH
THOUSANDS OP DEAD DENIZENS
SEEN IN WILLAMETTE.
I'arty of Anglers, Returning From
Headwaters, Clear Up Mystery
for Springfield Folk.
SPRTN'GFIELD, Or., July 20, Spe
cial.) The hot weather of the past two
weeks has killed thousands of fish In
tho Willamette River. For some time
an unusual number of dead fish have
been floating down the river past this
city, attracting no little attention. Sus
picions of dynamiting by some one on
the upper river have caused local
anglers and those interested to make
inquiries, but it could not be learned
that any one was using the explosive
either with the purpose of killiug fish
or for blasting in the river.
The mystery, however, was solved
by a party of anglers returning from
a fishing expedition into the head
watera of the Willamette River and on
Upper Fall Creek. There are places
where the water In these creeks Is un
protected bv trees and is very shallow.
Here It Is heated by the sun to a tem-
perature in which the fish cannot live.
This party found large pools, the banks
of which were solidly lined with dying
fish.
This condition seems to be confined
to the smaller branches of the Wil
lamette, and not to the McKenzie. The
trout are not as much affected as tha
other species of fish, although hun
dreds of trout are dying. The hot
weather has temporarily spoiled all
fishing in the Willamette.
