Py AKHoe!nted Prima.
Washington July 21. President
Tuft sent a special message to the
Konato today shouldering full responsl-
hlllty for opening for settlement and
development 12.K00 acres of tho Chu-
gaeh National Forest Reserve In Al-
tialia an Incident which has become
to ho known an the "Controller Hay
Affair." In concluding hi' brands the
now funious "Dick to Dick" postscript
n a a "wicked fabrication" and suys
that Charles 1. Tuft whose name up-
ppared In the alleged posterlpt "h
no Interest In Alaska never had and
knows nothing of tho clrcuniHtances
connected with this transaction."
Moreoer tho President adds his
brother does not even remember that
lie ever met Iilchard H. KvaiiB repre-
xentliiK the Controller Itiillvvay & Nav-
lHHtlng Company.
As for olimlnatliiHt the land In Ques-
tion from reserve the President says
that thera is no danger of tho Con-
troller Hallway & Navigating Com-
pany or any other Interests monopo-
lizing tho field and nothing to show
that this company Is in any way con-
nected with the MorKttn-auKK'Hli'lm
Interests. Hence he believes that in
eliminating tho land he has acted for
tile best Interests of tho Nation.
"I wish to be ns specific as possible
upon this point" says tho President
In his message "and o say that I alono
Bin responsible for tho enlargement
of tho proposed elimination from 320
acres to 12800 acres and that I pro-
: posed the change and slatod my reas-
ons therefor. The thing which the
Territory of Alaska needs Is develop-
ment und where rights and franchises
can be properly granted to encourage
Investment and construct a railroad
without conferring exclusive privil-
eges I believe It to be In accordance
with good policy to grant them."
Accompanying the President's mes-
sage are documents reports and mnps
hearing on the case us requested from
him by a Senate resolution of June
27 Inst. "I deem It wise" says tho
niepsage "to accompanying the sub-
mission of these documents with a
Btiitement In narrative form of the
action of tho administration with the
reasons therefor." Mere follows a
description of Controller liny and en-
vlrlons and a mop showing the effect
of withdrawing the much mooted 12-
800 ucris from tho reserve. The Presi-
dent then tnkes up tho thread of Ills
narrative) as concerns the events that
precipitated tho controversy.
Ho relates how Hyan. representing
tho Controller Hallway and Navigating
Company applied In 1909 for the el-
imination of a tract to enable this
company to secure railroad terminals
etc. The application was referred to
the Forestry Hureau oml then to tho
Navy Department with a view that
perhaps tho Navy desired to uao Con-
troller Tiny as a reservation. The
forestry Interests found no objection
to the elimination of the tract Indi
cated "or Indeed" ns the President
writes "to the elimination of 1S.000
acres In the northwest shore of Con-
troller Hay."
The Navy Department's nnsw'er wns
"negative" says the I'resident and
after tho matter had been considered
by the Seretary of Agriculture by tho
Secretary of tho Interior and tho Oen-
eral Land office a recommendation
tvus made to hlni that 3320 acres with
a frontage of 100 rods on the north-
vest shoro of Controller Hay be thrown
open. A formal order to this effect
wns finally submitted to him in Oc-
tober 1010 but when the matter camo
before the Cabinet Into In that month
he found objection to It. Ills reasons
for taking this stand he explains In
his message In part is as follows:
"I expressed dissatisfaction with the
order because It purported on Its fnce
to mnko tho elimination for tho bene-
fit of a railroad company of a tract
of lnnd which the compuny could not
by lawful entry secure for It was a
tract 320 acres In one body when only
160 acres could thus bo acquired. In
the second place I preferred to make
a much larger ellmliiatbm of a tract
facing the entire channel rind with
sufficient room for a tcrmlntil rail-
way town. I was willing to do this
because T found the restrictions In
the law sufficient to prevent tho pos-
sibility of any monopoly of either the
upland or tho harbor or channel by
the Controller lty. and Navigation
Company or any other person or com.
rxiny. l'.ecnuse of a hick of tlmo suf-
ficient to draft a memorandum my-
self I requested tho Pecretary (if th
Interior who with tho Secretary of
Agriculture after full discussion had
n greed In my conclusion to prepare a
letter setting forth the reasons for
making tho larger elimination so that
It might become a part of the record.
"I wish to be as specific as possible
upon this point and to say that I alone
hiii responsible for tho enlargement
of the proposed elimination from 320
acres to 12.SO0 acres and that I pro-
posed the rhange and stnted my re-
asons therefor and while both Secre.
tarles cordially concurred lu It the
suggestion wns mine."
The President snys he had every
Assurance at tho time the Controller
Railway and Navigation Company was
an Independent enterprise working In

tho contrary has slnco been brought
to his attention. "Of coursn It was
possible" ho continues "that the
owner of the Copper Hlver Hallway
Company" (Miwsrs. Morgan and Gug-
genheim) "might attempt to buy this
railroad when and If It were built. It I
was posilblo that Mr. Hyan waa net -log
for tho Interests of the Copper
Hlver Hallroad although I did not be-
lieve it; but whother this wus true or
not It was clear that the order of el-
imination by reason of the restrictions
of the act of Congress would permit
the owners of either railroad to shut
out any other capitalists." Moreover
he states tho "rates to be charged

ional control and if government own-
ership seemed the wise policy under
tho peculiar circumstances comleinn-
natlon was nn easy method.

board Wednesday in its final n'tloii
on property valuations In the state.
The returned valuatlong on automo-
biles In all counties except Oklahoma
was raised 100 per cent. Horsoe In

The board look a look at land val-
ues but the schedule as prepared by
the special committee selected from

plates an Increase in land values over

In some of the counties the returned
valuations on tho different classes of

Considerable argument took placo
between members of tho board on the
manner of expressing the Increaso or
reduction In assessments. Necretary
of State Hen F. Harrison one of the
members of the committee whl"h pre-
pared the report aubmltted to the
board wanted the changes stated as
so much per cent while Attorney-
Oeneral West Insisted that It should
nnmo the amount In dollars for each
class. The attorney-general's position
was sustained.
Secretary Harrison maintained that
the county boards of equalization had
the power under a law passed at the
last legislature to change assessments

West held ttiut tho

tho constitution to rise the aggregated

how many goats there were and how
many sheep. Figure didn't show. H
was proposed by the committee that

that where they were returned above

"1 do not know" Mr. Wlckersham

delayed pending u decblon by tho
Supreme Court In the Standard Oil
J and tobacco cases. It was not con-
sidered desirable to press these cases
until a decision of the Supreme Court
was received and In this case I think
iiinnv of the same point are In-
volved." The st"e committee left tonight
