Ready to Testify in
Controller Bay Case
Issues Statement in Which He Em
phatically Denies All Knowledge
of "Dick to Dick" Letter.
NEW YORK. July 19 Richard S. Ryan,
promoter of the Controller Hay railroad,
while preparing to go to Washington today
In answer to a subpoena Isued by the house
committee Investigating the Alaskan con
troversy made a flat denial that he had
written the "Dick to Dick" letter. Mr.
Ryan said he did not know President Taft's
brother nor did he know former Secretary
of the Interior Balllnger well enough to
addles him except by his formal title.
Mr. ltyan said that the firm he was
Identified with had no connection with
the GugKeiiheim Interests, cither directly
or Indirectly, so fur as he knew.
"We warned land In Alaska that we were
willing to Improve ut our own expense,"
snld Mr. Ryan, ' arid there wan nothing to
suggest a grab In our proposition."
"Well, when 1 cume down to the elimina
tion contest In Alaska, did I go to Sec
retary Halllnger? No. 1 went to the man
who could handle the matter Secretary
Wilson. Who, 1 ask you, la In charge of
the forestry? Mr. lialllnKer la not. Mr.
Wilson la at the final lineup.
"There was never a time that I tried to
get one foot of ground at Controller Bay
In Alaska that the request was not abso
lutely on the level. I never tried to use
one bit of senatorial, social or any other
interest In advancing my requests. Every
thing wan based on pure justice.
"And now, one last word:
"I never wrote such a letter, auch a
postscript or such an address. I do not
know Secretary Balllnger well enough to
address him by any name excepting his
formal title. I do not know President
Taft'a brother even by sight and could not
possibly refer to" him. This note, made
public by this woman, seems to me to be
something craxy."

CHICAGO. July 19 That there exlata a

setting firo to buildings to enable the
ownera to collect large sums of Insurance,
was the sensational charge made today
by State Fire Marshal C. J. Doyle In an
address delivered before the Chicago Asso
ciation of Commerce.
"The country Is facing one of the most
gigantic, organized arson conspiracies the
world has ever known," said State Fire
Marshal Doyle. "The state fire marshals
of Illinois have united with the state fire
marshals of Kentucky, Tennessee and
Ohio to wipe out the band of fifteen man
at the bottom of thla arson conspiracy.
"The head of the fire bug trust la In
Kansas city, from which city the opera
tions of the entire gang Is operated. The
ten legs of this octopus has extended, aa
the daring of those behind the plot has
grown, Into a doxen or more cities. They
have been found at work In Bloomlngton
and Springfield, 111.; PlttBburg, Pa.: Cleve

other cities.
"Two of the gang have been convicted
nd are now Imprisoned In a southern city.
The others will be behind the bars before
long if we are successful In following the
clues we are now working on.
"The fire-bug problem la one of the most
Important which confronts the country.
Even without the cases of arson, the fire
losses of the country are appalling. The
fire loss In this country amounts to about
$500 a minute. In Chicago the loaa is
15,000,000 a year, while In Boston the annual
loss does not exceed 1200,000. We need to
adopt the fire protection plana of European
cities."

experts or assistants necessary and report
to the whole committee. i
Mr. Sulser got Mr. Thomas first to say
that hla company could manufacture augar
here aa cheaply, or nearly ao, aa it could
be made In any other country. It waa owing
to the tariff, he thought, that the price of
augar here la higher than In England.
Mr. Thomas said the American made less
than GO per cent of the sugar In thla coun
try, and that It, therefore, la not a
monopoly.
Representative Jacoway asked Mr.
Thomas why they increased Its capital
from 175,000,000 to 890,000.000.
"To take an Interest In about thirty
three beet sugar refineries," waa the reply.
Mr. Thomaa aald that the work of ac
quiring the beet augar Interests waa done
exclusively by H. O. Havemeyer, who
waa not In the habit of consulting anyone
else about augar company tr ansae tlona.
Doea Not Boycott Iadependenta.
Mr. Jacoway asked Mr. Thomaa If the
American waa not In the habit of boycot
ting any Independent who went Into the
Louisiana market to buy augar.
"Absolutely no," waa the reply.
In reference to the agreement between
the American Sugar Refining company
and the American Beet Sugar company
In 1902 to pool selling Interests, Mr. Thomaa
aald John E. Parsons had told hla company
that the agreement waa not In violation of
the Sherman antl-truat law, but that when
Secretary McVeagh Informed hla company
it waa a violation of the law the agree
ment waa abrogated.
"You have about 10,000 women stock
holders In New England?"
"When prosecution threatened your com

"Not at all."
Mr. Jacoway aaked the witness if hla
company waa not In eonatant warfare with
the raw augar production of Louisiana,
"Tea, we are competitors."
"Is that why you advertised In trade
papers that raw augar la unhealthy and

"I know nothing about these advertlae-
menta," answered the witness, but he waa
Instructed to get the Information for the
committee.
"Ia It not a fact that there la S50.000 ot

company and that It haa been attempting
to pay dividends on 890,000.000 of stock out
of earnings on not more than $40,000,000 of
actual property T"
"Oh, I could not aay that," aald Mr,
Thomas.
Denies Controlling; Price.
Mr. Thomaa admitted that he had no
knowledge of any smaller company making
active war on the American In the last
twenty years, excepting the Arbuckles, but
he would not admit that the American con
trolled the prr&e.
"Are directors of the American who favor
selling that company's beet augar stock
In favor of removing the tariff from
sugar?" aaked Mr. Malby.
"Yea. Certainly because the low tariff
on augar would hurt bet augar atock,"
said Mr. Malby.
Mr. Thomaa Insisted the American did
not control the Great Western Beet Sugar
company ot Colorado, but Mr. Malby
brought out that with the holdings of the
Havemeyer estate they controlled about
two-thlrda of that company. The Ameri
can, aald Mr. Thomaa, also holds 60 par
cent of the Spreckela Intereata In Califor
nia. Mr. Thomaa aald that any effort to con
trol the augai bjslnesa had been a complete
failure.,
"Since we started to aell our beet augar
holdings we have sold 8U.000.000 of our

Want Protection
Ranchers Who Are Being Threatened
by So-Called Mexican Liberals
Appeal to Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 19. American
ranchers In Lower California are being
threatened by the so-called Mexican lib
erals there. The United States today re
quested the government of Mexico to af
ford them adequate protection.
The State department's attention was
drawn to the situation In a telegram from
the American consul at Enxenada who re
ported that Americana had been molested
and had appealed to him for assistance.
Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City was
Immediately Instructed to take up the
matter with President De La Barra.
The renewal of a delicate situation In
Lower California has Increased the anxiety
of the administration over recent develop
ments In Mexico. Conditions In that part of
the . country were threatening several
months ago, but with the termination of
the revolution, Mexico was given permis
sion to send troops across American terri
tory to quell the Independent move there.
The armed and so-called socialistic rebel
lion, however, died out before the soldiers
reached the scene. Since then It had been
supposed that pbace and contentment had
aettled on that quarter of Mexico and that

Carriers Complicates
Fight on Disease
NEW TORK, July 19.-The health offlcera
not only of New Tork. but of the whole
country may be aaked to help repel the
threatened Invasion of Aslatlo cholera. The
discovery of five "cholera carriers" among
the 600 Immigrants undergoing bacteriologi
cal examination at quarantine emphasized
what Health Officer Doty haa aatd about
the difficulty of oonflnlng the disease to
the quarantine hospitals or ports of entry.
Dr. Doty Is conferring with Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman. head , of the United States
marine hospital service to plan how the
country may be protected against "car
riers" who harbor the germa while them
selves free from their Ill-effects. A system
of general observation Is contemplated, ao
that even after the "carrier" la released
from quarantine the health authorities of
the placs where he settles may watch for
possible transmission of the disease.
The case of these cholera carriers pre
sents a pusile. As yet the health authorl-
tles have not decided how aoon It will be
safe to permit them to be at large. Only
the careful system of bacteriological ex
amination put Into effect here where
cholera appeared could, it la aald, have de
tected the presence of cholera germa In
these apparently V ilthy persons.
The following bulletin relating to the
cholera situation waa given out at Quaran
tine at a. m.i
"At Hoffman Island thla morning, Dom
inic! Panticellt, 85 years old, one of the
steerage passengers of the steamer Moltke,
was taken alck with symptoms auspicious
of cholera At the Swinburne Island hospi
tal no further deaths have occurred. On
board the Anchor Line steamer Perugia
conditions are satisfactory."

Republicans Denounce Attempt to
Remove Michael and Morrison
from Office.
WASHINGTON. July 19.-Denounclng the
report of the majority members of the spe

mer Secretary of State Hay as a partisan
attempt to accuse republican officials with
out evidence, the minority report of the
committee was submitted to the house to

Connecticut and Wedemeyer of Michigan.
The majority report, recommending the
dismissal of former Chief Clerk Michael of

by the minority as "a weak partisan effort
to make scandal."
"It Is an attempt," say the minority re

our greatest secretaries of state, the late
John Hay.
"The effort to condemn Michael without
a chance to be heard la Itself a scandal,
nor la there a particle of evidence of wrong
doing by Morrison."

"I want to express my grief, my profound
grief." Senator Brown declared, "becauae
the bill does not have the aupport of aome

at heart are In favor of lower dutlea. I
do not complain of them. I do not charge

Senator Brown aald that when he found

manipulator of leglaletures," opposed to
the measure, "In the name of and for the
sake of the farmers of thla country. I
began to think that there muet be aome

"This bill," he concluded, "la the corner

put an end forever, I hope, to unneces

Works Is for Measnre.
Senator Works of California, Inaurgent
republican, urged the passage of the Cana
dian reciprocity bill In a vigorous speech.
He expreased the belief that reciprocity
would not injure the farming Interests of
the nation except to cause some temporary
disturbance In border states, which would
soon adjust themselves.
Senator Works said he did not believe
President Taft had used undue Influence to
secure the passage of the reciprocity bill
through congress and that Mr. Taft was
"too good a lawyer to overstep well recog
nized bounds."
Attempta to amend the bill were obvious
attempts to defeat reciprocity as a whole,
said Mr Works who defended the bill as
"fair and Just and of lasting benefit to the
country."
Kenroa Aaralnst Bill.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa, also clasaed aa
an insurgent republican, spoke against
reciprocity. Ha announced that while he
was not convinced the agreement would

and he deemed It hla duty to vote against
It Senator Kenyon paid hla respects to the
"race for riches and vulgar display.''
"We see some of our representatives at
the coronation of a king," he said, "trying
to outdo aristocracy, even to wearing knee
breeches, if necessary, to ape royalty."
Turning again to the tariff, he urged a re
duction of the wool dutlea aa more Impor
tant than the reciprocity bill.

Senator Stone of Missouri, during the
afternoon gave the senate some Informa
tion as to "why a democrat should support
the Canadian reciprocity bill." "
He said that the Idea that the bill was
not entitled to democratlo aupport becauae
a republican prtsldent proposed it waa "a
narrow and partisan view.' "
"He had accepted the bill, he aald, because
on Investigation he had found It worthy
of democratic support."
"In Its principles, he said, "It Is an em
bodiment of an old democratlo policy."
