A VQ D
Letter of Acting Director', of
Reclamation Department Is
1 Given Publicity y in faffs
. Corrected Message. ''
(Wuhlnilon Burtu of Ttas Journal.) v
Washington, Keb, 1. An echo from
; the Roossvelt days la sounded in ths
, publication of the president's' Glavls
message to the sonata, transmitting oer
... tain corrections of. his former message
which was sent in response to the Flint
. resolution. The president had Answered
the request of t resolution, sending
Secretary ; Balllnger's ; report , to him,
.presumably complete. An Important
. letter had been omitted however.,v . It
was from A. P. Davis, acting dlreotor
In-lieu of Director Newell and was writ
. ten before there had appeared so many
' signs that the Roosevelt conservation
.''policies were becoming, obsolete under
the new administration -
. Davis' letter .was In- response to
- letter from Secretary Balllnger, who as
early as April. 1, 1900. less than-on
month after he became secretary of the
Interior, had prepared to restore to pub
llo entry all lands withdrawn by Roose
velt, and Uarfleld to protect the power
Sites. ,; .":,-.. '. - -
r . . The reclamation service -under Newell
' was against restoring the power site
lands before examination; had, been
made In the field to determine what
. . lands were not . needed to protect the
sites... The Balllnger policy so soon In
. evidence was to restore the lands on
the ground that their . withdrawal had
been Illegal:' . . i v
Davis Writes 'IiSUer.V'V
The reclamation sendee through Act-
lng Director Davis thus answered Bal
llnger's letter: (,-r-, ;r o, '
."I am In . receipt ' of your letter of
.April . 1, 'giving instructions to report
- the reasons, if there are any, why cer
tain lands Jn' the states of , Montana,
.Utah and Oregon should not be restored
to entry under the public land laws. "
"The area of (77,000 acres mentioned
In your letter is probably, the total area
Aft t h A tAwnahlni atA Innsi nu ntvt In
the various lists. . A large portion ofj
. each of these townships , has already!
, passed out of the control of the United
. States, and the withdrawal, would not
affect lands where title had already
fbeen Initiated. ,-,, , v ,' , -
"In. making these withdrawals It Is
understood ".. to ave been the " policy -to
make examinations as early as possible
wth the purpose of restoring the major
portions of . the lands, after reserving
areas which 'include natural falls, dam
I sites or other natural opportunities for
the cheap development of power.
, To. Check iyndlcates.
' i "These lands were withdrawn . by
order of Secretary, Garfield,' In accord
anoe with a policy adopted by the cabi
net of President Roosevelt for the pur-
' pose of checking the acquisition of valu
1 able power sites In' the mountain re
glons of the west by. syndicates which
i were believed to be attempting to mo-
nopollre all the avallabla power possl-
, iiiueg in certain regions; ' t
"That such attempts at power, mo
nopoly are being; actively i and exten
sively made seems to be well estab
lished, but whether It can be presented
or materially checked by executive ac
tion undor present laws Is a Question
, Involving points of law and of adminis
trative policy upon which this office Is
not competent to advise." . .
, Beolamatloa Berrloo loses power.
" The reclamation service was commit
' ted to the Roosevelt policy as to power
sites; hence the geological survey was
. selected by Secretary Balllnger to han
. die the matter, and It was taken en
tirely away from the reclamation serv
Ice, which from rthat time, on was as
signed no function therein by the Taft
, administration.
It was on the power alto 'question
, that tho Taft administration . most
sharply broke away from the Roosevelt
V( policies, as expressed by tho Outlook, I
'. the magazine of which Roosevelt Is a
contributing editor, which said re
- oently; - - - . ... -
i "The Roosevelt policy appears to
hava been,? when learning that some !
vital act .was essential to the public
. guoa, io inquire, js mere , any law
prohibiting this good thlngr while the
Tart policy appears to be to lnauira.
'Is, there any law; commanding me to
do this: thing?' and then ; throw the
, wnoie matter onto congress."

Berlin, Feb. II. May a nrlnce. of the
Uerman Imperial, ramlly sell his own
private - property without the kaiser's
consent? ., ' '
This weighty legaT problem Is' today
agitating the . minds of Berlin society
ana especially or the exalted personages
Who move In the. most select court clr
cles. The subject Is -under discussion
because two young men of the "Imperial
lamuy, Frinca Frederick Henry of Prua
sla and Prince Joachim Albert of Prus
sla, have announced their intention of
selling the palace of which ' they are
Jolpt, owners, at public auction. The
palace la a noble building, situated In
tho Wilhelra strasse, and standing In Its
own grounds, extending over'an area of
two or tnree acres. Tight In the center
of tho city, represents a very high mon
etary values, . -. m- M'--,,.., -

'The two princely brothers are cousins
of the kaiser,-and both have been In
volved In ugly scandals, . . 1
Prihce Frederick Henry'' name was
freely mentioned In connection with- sev
eral affalne of an unprintable character,
and he received orders from the kulsar
to absent himself from Germany for an,
Indefinite period, , It Is stated that be
fore he was dismissed from court and
expelled from the country he was sum
moned to the Imperial presence to re
ceive a violent box on the ears from the
kaiser. After this episode he left Ger
many and has subsequently resided In
Egypt and Italy. I
Prince Joachim Albert was the hero
In the romantic story which startled the
world, a couple of years ago, when' his
name wax coupled with that of a Ger
man actr ns, Miss Mary Sulzer. Prince
Joachim Albert had an affair with Miss
Sulxer. and - this gave rifle to unpleas
ant comment, not so much on the merit I
of the case as owing to the factvthstj
Miss Hulxer. was or plebeian Dlrtn. n
she had been a noble, society would nave
pardoned, the prlnoe'a youthful folly.
Prince Joachim Albert recognising
this fact ' conceived the Idea of trans
forming Miss Sulser Into a full blown
baroness by persuading some Impecuni
ous aristocrat .to make -. her, his wife
without claiming any of the rights of
matrimony.. His agents found a, young
Austrian nobleman of fallen fortunes,
Baron. Liebenberg, who was .willing to
sell his name to dishonor for 10,000
kronen, and tie was . engaged for, this
purpose. He agreed to 'marry Miss Sut
ler in . London, then cto disappear im
mediately 'after, tho wedding, and next
to provlda .her with . Justification for
divorcing' him-. ',; 2 .
-The plan was, carried -out but the
prince omitted to psy the 10,000 kronen,
with the result that Baron Liebenberg
mad all the facts of the case publlo
by way-of revenge.. Upon this. Prince
Joachim Albert likewise fell Into dis
grace, wa dismissed from , the court
and sent away from . the country. , He
retaliated by marrying Miss uujier ana
settled ' down with" her on an . estate
which he bought in Austria. . -.

t'Tne brothers Inherited the palace In
Berlin from 'their father. .The . kaiser
hr.s resolved to forbid Its sale. The
princes, claim the right to sell It by-
virtue, of the -ordinary law of the land.
and the kaiser claims the right. to pre
vent them-selling it by virtue of the
family law of the house of Hobentol-
lern. which .'give him absolute power
over all mteinbers of the family and their
property. . v. ! .... v
.The quell t ion to. bo deojded will be

whether the family 'law of the house
of Hnhensollern can overbear and out
weigh the ordinary law of the land,' and
whether two princes . of the Imperial
family have less personal right than
ordinary cltlien of the empire. - ,
