Hocrotary or tno interior Iiniungor to
day dlrectod tho dismissal of U. H.
aiavls, chief ot tho Hold division of
tho gonorul land office, with head
quarters In Seattle.
The reason for tho dismissal of
aiuvli Is stated in Taft's hitter to
Ilulllnger ns follews:
"tho filing of a disingenuous
stntomont unjustly Impeaching tho of
ficial Integrity of his auporlor offi
cers." In this lottor Prosldont Tuft exon
erated Hulllngor of charges made by
Qlavls against him In connection with
the Cunningham coal land cases in
Alaska.
Glavis prosontod tho charges on
August IK and after unsworn had
boon mado by Hulllngor, Assistant
Secretary Pierce, Commissioner of tho
Qunurnl Land office Dotiutt and Chief
of tho Field Sorvlco Schwurtz, tho
president prepared his decision ut
loverly.
Taf tilito sustained tho action of
Ilulllnger in regard to thu restointloii
nnd withdrawal or public lauds In
connection with ulloKiitlons regard
ing power sit oh and the HO-callud
water power trust at the National
Irrigation congress ut Spokauo re
cently. In Taft'n decision hn fliulu In tuvetf
ot Ilulllnger In tho Hnlllnger-Ilnoliot
controversy, concluding as fol ewh:
"I niv tuilKtnent, he Is the hunt
friend of tho policy ot conservation
who Insists that ovory ston taken in
that direction should bo within thu
law and buttressed by logal uuthorlty.
Insistence on those not Inconsistent
with a wholo-heartod and bona fide
Interest nnd enthusiasm In favor of
Conservation. From my conferences
with you and from ovorythlug I know
In respect to tho conduct of your de
partment, I am nblo to say that you
are fully In sympathy with this ad
ministration's attitude lu favor of the
conservation of national resourcos."
In view of the fact that the prosl
dont sustains Ilnlllnger, there Is mu oh
speculation as to what tho result will
be regarding Chief Forestor I'lnehot.
The chief forester has held that Il&l
llngor had overthrown tho Hoosovolt
policies of conservation, to which hw
(I'lnehot i was dovotod uud of which
he was au ardent supporter.
The statement that Tnft consider

Rdwnrd II. Harrlmnn was probated
today, reading as follews:
"I, Edward Harrlmnn, of Ardon,
Now York, do give, devise and be
queath nil my property, ronl, person
al nnd of ovory kind nnd nnturo to
my wlfo, Mnry W. Harrlmnn, nnd do
horoby appoint Bald Mary W. Harrl
mnn executrix of this will."
Tho will Is dntcd Juno 8, 1003, nnd
is witnessed by Chnrlos Ponbody, now
prosldont ot tho Mutual Ltfo Insur
ance Compuny, and C. C. Togothoff,
'Harrlmnn's prlvnto secrotnry.
Now York. Sopt. 10. Hnrrlnjan's
will Is probably tho most romnrkable
Inst tostamont ovor mndo hy a multi
millionaire. Though tho full toxt ot
tho document contains but 44 words,
It dovlsos nn r-stnto estimated approx
imately nt $100,000,000.
No pnsltlvo Idon of the extent of
tho estate ran ho gained until tho la
hcritnnco tnx Is assessed and collect
ed, nnd It Is expected 'that this trans,
action will ostnbllsh a record that
probably will romnln supremo for
many long' years.
It Is bollovod that Harrlmnn had n
olenr understanding with his wlfo ns
to how ho desired tho cstato handlod,
nnd that lip mndo this cloar to hor
yoars ago.
Tho form of tho will, however,
leaves Mrs. Harrlmnn absolutely In
control of tho vast estates, and
places (upon, hor no legnl restrictions
whatovor.
With tho tremendous fortune of
hor hiiBbnnd absolutely nt hor dis

emerges from compnratlvo obscurity
to a position of ono of tho most !m
