'~ SAVING AND EARNING. CA Chicago millionaire came to this eountry in 1871, with 12 cents in his pocket. The other day, referring to -4t,. he said he laid down this ru_le; *“Never to be out of work and never to spend as much as you earn.” It - was’ that rule that made higaea milYionaire, and that is‘rthelkiMimillonaire that is entitled to honor. His ¥dea is that it 1s good for a.man to save, f& econdomy is a healthy habit, says the Ohio State Journal. As a rule “men can live on half they spend, have better health, and, can do more work. Let a man ‘sit down and make a list of what he needs, not scantily but bountifully, and he will be surprised how many things he can cut out and vet LKeep body and mind in fine condition. | There are many things that one buys that are the objects™of 'his fancy.

Graves; ~ how the navy department stated it did not desire to use Con=. troller bay as a reservation; how the matter was considered fully by the forestry bureau, the sécretary of agriculture, the secretary of ‘the interfor, the general land office. and the cabinet. .As a result, after an interview between the president and Mr. Ryan, an order was drafted eliminating 320 acres. e Meanwhile Mr. -Ryan had satisfled the president and o_ther-Qfiicials that he ‘and his. associates had no connection with the Morgan-Guggenheim interests and were engaged in an independent enterprise in good faith to build an independent railroad. The guestion again came beéfore: the cabinet, and the president, with the approval of the secretaries of the interior and agriculture, changed the order so "that it eliminated- 12,800 acres, .with sufficient room for a railroad town. The message says: 1 was willing to do this JE’ecause 1 found the restrictions in the rfaw sufficient to prevent -the- possibility of any monopoly of either the -uplands or the hvarbo‘r or. channel by the Controller Railroad and Navigation company or any other .person or concern.” These restrictions=the president séts forth at length, and shows that vth'é,]Rya.n company has not the slightest opportunity‘ for exclusive appropriation of the: harbor. facilities ‘unless congress shall by future act deliberately and voluntarily confer it.

tributed to a newspaper correspondent that in an examination of the files of the interior: department a few weeks ago a postscript was found attached to a letter of July 13, 1910, addressed by Mr. Richard S. Ryan to Secretary Bailinger-—and in the Ysent record —urging the eliminatypn of land enough for terminals. folj the Controller Railway &'Navigation company. The postscript was said to read as follows: ' ' “Dear Dick: I want to see the president the other day. He asked me who ‘it was I -represented. I told him according to our agreement, that I represented myself. But that. didn’t seem to satisfy him. So 1 sent for Charlie Taft and asked him to fell his brother, the president, who it was I really represented. The president made no further objection to my claim. Yours, : DICK.Y”: _ . Uses Strong Language. “The postscript is not now on thefiles of the department. If it were, it would be my duty to transmit it under this resolution. Whao is really responsible for its wicked fabrication if it ever existed, or for the viciously false statement made as to its authenticity, is immaterial for the, purposes of this communication. The purport | of the alleged postscript is, and the in‘tention of the fabricator was, to make Mr. Richard S. Ryan testify.through its words to the public that although

I was at first-opposed in the public interest to’ granting the elimination which ‘he requested, nevertheless through the undue influence of my brbther, Mr. Charles P. Taft, and the disclosure of the real persons in interest, I was induced improperly and for the ‘promotion of their private gain, to make the order. 6 “The statement in so far as my brother is concerned—and that is the chief feature of the postseript—is ° utterly unfounded. He never wrote to me or spoke to me in reference to Richard S. Ryan ar on the subject of Controller Bay or the granting of any privileges or the makipg of any orders in respect to Alaskd. ‘He has no -interest in Alaska, never had, and knows nothing of the circumstances connected with this transaction. He does not remember that he ever met Richard S. Ryan. He never heard of the Controller Bay railroad until my cablegram of inquiry reached him, which, with his answer, is in the record. 3 ,

“Mr: Ballinger says in a telegram in answer to my inquiry, both of which are in the record that he never. received such a postscript and that he wag in Seattle on the date of July 13, when it was said to have been written. “Mr. Richard S. Ryan in a let'er which he- has sent . me without solicitation, - and ; which is in the record, says. that he never met my. brother, Mr. Charles P: Taft, and that so far as he knows, Mr. Charles P.

HIT REAPER TRUST

CHARGE IS MADE THAT MORGAN . AND HARVESTER INTERESTS UNITED. :

REBATE IS PAID ON STEEL

Townsend Report on Which Former Attorney General Bonaparte Failed to Act Goes Before Investigators— Wickersham ls a Witness. i

Washington.—That charges were made to Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte during his term of office that the United States Steel corporation'gave refund of three dallars a ton to. the “harvester combine companies was revealed tathe house “steel trust” investigating committee. Representative Stanley of Kentucky, chairman -of the committee, introduced into the proceedings a voluminous report on the harvester trust made to Mr. Bonaparte in 1908 by Burdette C. Townsend, a special investigator of the de[partment, now assistant district attorney of Oregon. i

In describing the organization of the group of larger companies in the Harvester combine the McCormicks, Deering, Plano, Wardner, Bushnell, Glessner and the Milwaukee Harvester companies, Mr. Townsend reported to Mr. Bopaparte: .

“It appears that there *was an unusual. concentration of the capital stock. of these five K companies. It was all' owned and controlled by four families, the McCormicks, * the Deer‘ings, the Joneses and-the Glessners. ~The pooling of their holdings was all {that was necessary to create a trust: i Al these people lived in Chicago. “Another fact is interesting.. - Hariold McCormick (one of the heaviest i stockholders of the McCormick comipany), is a son-in-law -of John" D. { Rockéfeller. The McCormick com‘pany. was therefore already distantly § related by marriage to the great Amer(ican family of trusts. J. Pierpont Morgan is the trust architect usually employed by the Rockefeller inter'ests. ) :

“He is a good builder and receives fabulous fees for his work. George W. Perkins is his asgsociate.” - Attorney General Wickersham, summoned as a witness, testified that he had never seen ‘the Townsend report before.. He promised that Townsend would testify later. He did not know why the harvester. case was not pressed in 1908-09. “I.surmised,” he added, “that the case was held up pending the Supreme court decisions in the tobacco and Standard Oil cases involving the same points.” Mz, Stanley announced that a subpoena had been issued for Mr. Bonaparte, who is now in Canada; and that’ an effort wouid be made to ascertain from him and from other government officials why there, had not been a prosecution of. the:lnternational Harvester- company upon. Townsend’s charges. Mir. Stanley also announced his intention of endeavoring to show a ‘close connection between the/United States Steel corporation and the International Harvester company. Mr. Townsend in his report particularly referred to the price.paid to J. Pierpont. Morgan & Co. in the harvester ‘deal, declaring that “$5,000,000 is a very high price for the simple service of suggesting to persons how they can agree in a legitimate transaction. It is not unusual,” he ‘saiq, “in illegal transactions, such as creating.a trust, which can "evade the laws. Doubtless, if proceedings were instituted against -the International Harvester company, the manner of its defense will demonstrate that the fee was earned.” , ‘ :

GOES OVER WIAGARA

“DOBBY” LEACH ' GOES OVER ~ CATARACT IN BARREL.

Tank With Man Suspended in Canvas Hammock Shoots Through Space With. Speed of Cannon Ball. ¥ . | —

Niagara Falls, N. Y.—“ Bobby” Leach made a trip over the Horseshoe falls in a barrel and lives to tell thé tale of an experience more thrilling than any of his previous feats. Leach, who is forty-nine years old, was considerably - bruised .by his drop of 158 feet, but was not seriously hurt. This is the second time in the history of the river that such a feat has been accomplished. Mrs. " Anna Edson Taylor of this city made the trip in a 4 barrel on October 24, 1901, and came out alive.

Harassed by the police on, both sides of the river, Leach was forced” to make his start from La Salle, two miles and a half above the cataract on _ the United States side. Two rivermen took him in a launch to Navy Island, where everything was made shipshape and Leach was placed in the barrel. It is, a steel alfair, eleven feet long with ends of wood. Leach was hung in a canvas -hammock.

The barrel with its passenger was cast adrift just off the mouth -of Chippewa creek, hardly a mile above the brink of the Horseshoe, and was quickly caught by the rush of the upper rapids. 'When 500 yards from the brink the-barrel was caught in the tremendous current and raced to the chasm. . ' ' Within 200 yards of the brink it stick hayd against a rock, and =a large setfion of the wooden end=was broken-off. As the barrel reached the crest, it swung straight and went plubging Bown into the abyss on its long axis. . _ Hardly thirty seconds elapsed until it was seen, a red speck, careening in the spume below the cataract. Frank Bender of Chippewa swam out to it with a rope and caught the barrel by one of its handles. From that point the Dbarrel was towed ashore. .

Leach was bleeding and appeared in a bad way, but once out of the barrel he raised himself and waved to the crowds that lined the bank.. He-was badly exhausted and it was necessary to apply oxygen to revive him. - ‘
