SEATTLE. Wash.. July 15. ISoeclaXl
Into th llmellRht of the Controller
Bay controversy comes P.lcharJ S. Ryan
known In every part of Alaska and
heralded far and wide as the man who
held the responsible position of secre
tary to Charles Stuart Tarnell when the
star of Ireland's great commoner shone
at its brightest. For years Ryan h
irravltated as retrularly as the changing-
of the seasons between Alaska and
Waahlnctoa. IX C: he has been In poi-
ittrs. he has tried for Ielee;ate from the
territory, he has mled much with
statesmen and the nondescript crowd
that frequents the lobby of the New
Wlliard. and always has had somi
mlahty scheme uniler his hat.
In Seattle, persons who are well In
formed on Alaska land matters deplore
some features of the Controller B-y In
vestigation at the National capital, but
hope that the outcome will be benefi
cial. In all the resolutions calling for
the Investigation of President Taft a or
der withdrawing the Controller Hay
waterfront and restoring It to entry,
the order la spoken of as having been
made In the Interest of Kyan. "agent of
the Guggenheim syndicate."
Project Abandoned Long Ago.
Everyone In Alaska knows that the
Guggenheim syndicate could have had
Controller Bay many years ago. Jn
fact, the avnd'cate spent it. 000.000 at
and near Katalia and built several
miles of railroad on the shore of the
bsy. The Ouggenhelm engeer planned
to build a breakwater or.I construct
tmetl over the mud flatr. across Kanak
Island and to deep -vater. where ships
might load coal. It was found, howev
r. that smooth water could not be
guaranteed, and the whole project was
abandoned.
The enterprise at Katalia was under
taken and carried out by Captain 1'avld
-II. .Jarvts. who committed sui l.le In this
rttv last month. Captain Jarvts was
crttlclsed severely by members of the
syndicate for having wasted so much
money, and he took these criticisms
greatly to heart. Ills Influence steaJHy
declined wtth his employers. He was
also greatly exercised on account of the
attacks made on htm In Congress and
the Investigation of the Keystone Can
yon tragerty conducted by the Depart
ment of Justice. Apparently there ex
ists, with headquarters In New York, an
antl-Guggenhelnt pre. bureau, which
furnishes material for attarks on the
Alaska syndicate, which Is the official
name of the Morgan-Guggenheim com
bination. Controller Bay Held Worthless.
The Alaska syndicate, which has built
nd now operates the Copper Itlver
Railroad, expects to carry the coal from
tbe Bering River fields to tidewater, no
matter what disposition Is made of the
lands. Its railroad Is completed for a
larae part of the distance to the coal
fields, and Its terminals In Cordova are
waiting to handle coal. The head of
the syndicate Is very emphatic In giv
ing Its opinion of Controller Pay as a
harbor, saying that It is worthier,
l-anl Office officials say so too. Re
cently when special agents of the (Jen
era! Land office undertook to go from
Katalia to the Ryan lands on Controller
Ray. using a little flat-bottomed mo-
torboac they found great difficulty In
making their way. the bay being so
shallow.
Quite likely the Representatives and
Senators who are talking so much
about Controller Pay really believe
what they say. and think they are
checkmating a trugfrenheim scheme to
monopolise a great ocean harbor. There
is another explanation of Ryan's ef
forts to get title to the Controller Bay
waterfront. Ryan, who has long been
a promoter of Alaskan schemes and has
not always revealed the weakness or
the strength of his financial backing,
seems to have conceived yet another
scheme, according to Alaskans, to get
what he would call railroad terminals
on the bay; a right-of-way to the Her
Ing River coal field, which Is to be
t ad for the asking; and then, using 1a
Follette's speeches on the great v.lue
of Controller Ilay. sell honds ti Euro
pean Investors. It is likely that the
Investigation In Washington will result
In Ryan a claims being canceled and his
whole scheme wrecked.
Ryan Is Persistent.
Statements made in Washington that
the President's order of October n re
storing the Controller Ray lands to en
try was promptty made public are de
nied here. La Follette's resolution, of- I
fered April 20. railing for an Investiga
tion, was the first Information received
in Seattle or Alaska, exi-ept by Kyas
and his friends, that the land had bven
restored to entry. People here who
know Ryan are mystified at his ability
to get a hearing from President Taft
and hie brother: but Ryan, as he has
been described by one of the leading
figures in the Investigation. Is "plaus
ible, persistent and insinuating." Ills
scheme of selling bonds In a railroad
with terminals at Controller lljy is not
original. Half a dosen similar com
panies hae been organised, and have
sold stock and tried to sell bonds. Some
of the companies have advertised own
ership of great oil flelie. Ryan. It Is
said, has Intended to make a specialty
of Iron field. In addition to coal.
Ryan s activity was a newspaper
topic as early as last April. On April
13 the Seattle orrice of the Associated
Press earrtej a report to the effect that
Ryan, on the morning after President
Taft order, had stak-d all the land
opened, posting notice of location under
soldier's scrip. Ills operations were
commonly understood j0 h-tve been fi

BLUEJACKETS "AID" POLICE
Street Orator Warned Wlien He At

ABERDEEN', Wash., July IS. (Spe
cial. ) Only the cool and quick action
of Officers Church and Smith, of the
local police force, prevented a street
riot between a number of Aberdeen
rltlsens and some SO members of the
I'nited States torpedo fleet who were
in the city last night. The sailors, who
are on their last leg of the long trip
from Southern California waters to
I'.remerton. crowded the streets last
nlcht. During the evening a street
corner orator who registered at the
City Jail under the name of W. A.
Thorn, attacked the Government and
mentioned the United States sailors
as a worthless class of men. The sail
ors resented the attack against them
selves and the Government and In
formed the police officers that unless
they compelled the speaker to dis
continue his address they would take
the orator In their own hands.
Several of Thorn's followers Joined
In the argument. The timely arrival
of a squad of police checked the dis
turbance. Over 300 bluejackets sur
rounded 'he city Hall and did not
leave until Thorn's case was settled.

" WASHINGTON. July 15. Th House
sugar Investigation committee today
heard the "evils of the sugar trust" de
scribed by representatives of the Loui
siana canegrowers and manufacturer
of unrefined sugar.
Th witnesses discussed th tariff.
declaring: that elimination or material
reduction In the existing duties on
sugar would destroy their industry.
John Dymond. a Louisiana plantar.
testified that the trust bought raw
sugar arbitrarily and paid Its own
prices. He said there was now com
petitive buying In New York. Th
buyers not actually in th trust, he
said, maintained an "armed truce."
Growers' Trust Denied.
Representative Jacoway said It has
been suggested that the Louisiana
Canegrowers' Association was very
closely associated with th American I
Sugar Refining Company; that the
growers were In a combination to sell
only to th trust; Dymond said th ro
vers) was true; that no members of
the (rowers' association owned a dol
lar's worth of stock In the trust. He
said, however, that the growers could
not afford to antagonise the trust.
"Why?"-asked Jacoway. "You have
heard of th Bucks stova caseT"
"Yes."
"Well, we are afraid w might be
boycotted.
Mr. Dymond recited on case In
which he said th trust had disciplined
a larger grower by refusing- to buy
his product. '
Tariff Declared Needful.
Dymond said he favored maintaining
the present tariff on sugar, and that
elimination of protection would bring
of.;nV. Thinks "In-
Kurope. Th witness said most of th
laborers he employed were negroes,
whom he paid SI a day, and "who"
would not work half th tlm at that."
Theodore 8. Wilkinson, of Myrtle
Grove, La., a planter and manufac
turer and ex-Member of Congress, and
J. K. Hurguleres, a manufacturer, also
testified. Burguleres was on the stand
when the committee adjourned, and
will be recalled. All of the witnesses
agreed that they were compelled by
the "trust" to accept a lower price for
their product than the price prevailing
in New York, and compelled also to
have th cost of freight from New
Orleans to New York deducted, though
none of the sugar actually reached
New York.

WASHINGTON. July 15. Expressing
the belief that persistent efforts to have
Dr. Harvey W. 'Wiley removed from
office have been made by "powerful spe
cial Interests." whose welfare attaches
more to the dollar than "to the health,
happiness and prosperity of the people."
Representative Cox. of Indiana, Demo
crat, today Introduced a resolution call
ing for further Information.
His measure contemplates a broader
Investigation of the Wiley case than
was contemplated when the House com
mittee on expenditures In the Depart
ment of Agriculture yesterday decided
to investigate the charges made against
Dr. Wiley.
Mr.. Cox' resolution calls on both the
Attorney-General and the Secretary of
Agriculture "to furnish the House of
Representatives with all letters, records.
telegrams, protests and objections, now
on Ale in their offices, protesting against
th appointment of Dr. Wiley as Chief
of the Bureau of Chemistry, or protest
ing against his retention in office, with
all letters and data of every kind pro
testing against his rulings and decisions
in the administration of said law.
Incidentally, the preparation of this
resolution by Cox, it is said, has stirred
up some little feeling between him and
Moss of Indiana. Cox is chairman of
the committee on expenditures In the
Treasury Department. Moss Is chair
man of the committee on expenditures in
the Department of Agriculture, which
yesterday voted to make a sweeping in
vestigation of the Wiley case.
Cox believes that the response to this
resolution will show Just what interests
are lined up against ney, ana wny.
Ho Is convinced that the expert's pure
food sctlvities have resulted In the ac
cumulation of considerable correspond
ence of protest both at the Agricultural
Department and the Department of Jus
tice, and he thinks that It wquld make
interesting reading for the public
PENSION PROSPECTS FADE
IIouso Democrats Xot to Consider!
Subject This Session.
WASHINGTON, July 15. All hope of
pension legislation at this session "of
Congress . was dashed today, when
Democratic Leader Underwood served
notice that such legislation would be
taken up at the 'proper time at the
regular session in December.
Just before the House adjourned to
day until next Wednesday, Representa
tive Kendall, of Iowa, insurgent Re
publican, objected to an adjournment
over Monday, when, under the rules, a
pension Increase bill could be consid
ered. Mr. Underwood said the bill which
would be brought In by the Demo
cratic majority at the regular session
would be different from that favored
by the Republicans, in that it would
not provide pensions for "soldiers who
had' never been within 500 miles of a
battlefield."
TAXPAYERS FIGHT SEWER
St. Johns Councilman Appoint Cora
' mlttee to Investigate Grievance.
ST. JOHNS, Or.. July 15. (Special.)
Following the voting by the City
Council last Tuesday to pay Contractor
L. Seybold for the sewer work in Dis
trict No. 2. on the latter's giving a
$5000 maintenance bond guaranteeing
the sewer for two years, the property
owners affected have decided to fight
the assessments for the sewers should
their investigations show she work to
be defective. Organizing as the Sewer
Taxpayers' Protective Association, a
mass meeting was held last night to
consider the action of the Council.
A letter from C. W. Fulton, of Port
land, who had been engaged as counsel,
advised the taxpayers to accept the
Council's action under the circum
stances. It was announced that a fund
of $5000 would be pledged to resist
payment in the courts, and Councilman
G. L. Perrine suggested that a com
mittee investigate the alleged defects
in the sewer and report before taking
definite action. The sewer will be unr
covered and examined.
Church to Cost $6000.
WASHOUGAL, Wash., July 15. (Spe
cial.) A new Methodist Episcopal
Church is to be built here. It will cost
about 16000. Members of the church
have already raised $1800 of the build-
ing fund by subscription and have
bought their lot. Rev. E. J. Bates is'
planning- the new building, which will 1
be modern in construction.
