The Administration Officials
(By Alaska News Bureau.)

lowing a meeting of President Taft
and his cabinet last night Chief For
ester Pinchot was dismissed from of
fice. In a curt letter of dismissal

ation and also stated that he was coi>
spirlng to discredit the Taft admin
istration.
Associate Forester Overton W.
Pric? and Assistant Law Officer Al
exander Shaw were also dismissed
from the forestry bureau.
The members of the cabinet fully
realize that serious consequences may
result from Plnchot's dismissal. He
has the confidence of the people of
the I'nited States and stood for the
Roosevelt idea of conservation. Spec
ulation is rife as to exactly what ef
fect his dismissal will have upon the
attitude of the people towards the
administration.

COOKE MUST
, IKE GOOD
(By Alaska News Bureau)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6? Col. O. F.
Cooke, who was in command at Fort
Gibbon, AlasKa, when the money was
stolen from the paymaster's office by
Private Lane, has been found liable
for the deficiency by the courtmartlal
recently held, and he will have to
make Rood the sum of nine thousand
dollars. It is believed, however, that
some legislative relief will be ex
tended to the Colonel by Congress, as
he is held liable only on a technical
ity, and it Is considered that a great
hardship would be worked on him
were ho made to replace the amount
stolen by Lane, a man over whom he
had no direct supervision.

"SNOT OF HF
(By Alaska News Bureau.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 8? Pres
ident Taft's long and anxiously await
ed special message on corporations
and inter-state commerce regulations
was delivered to Congress late yester
day afternoon.
The message contains several start
ling recommendations. Taft urges
Congress to pass a law providing that
all corporations pay a federal license
which will protect them from undue
interference from legislative action 011
the part of different states.
The President recommends the es
tablishment of the United States court
of commerce to be composed of five
judges appointed from the federal
circuit courts. This court of com
merce shall try all cases which are
affected by Inter-state commerce reg
ulations. Appeals from decisions of
the court of commerce can only be
made to the United States supreme
court.
Taft urges the passage of a law
prohibiting corporations from acquir
ing any stocks of other corporations.
He would prevent the "watering of
stacks" by requiring all stocks to be
sold at par value- or at values fixed
by Ijie Inter-state commerce commis
sion.
The President recommends that the
Bsch bill be made a law. This bill
gives the inter-state commerce com
mission power to standardize all safe
ty appliances for railroads and to en
force their use.
The surprising feature of the mes
sage is that President Taft states' the
Sherman anti-trust law needs no am
endment. Originally the President In
tended to propose the repeal of this
law and the substitution of another
act to be embodied in hla suggestions.
The party leaders feared that this
proposal would be viewed with suspi
cion by the majority of the voters of
the country and induced Mr. Taft not
to touch upon this* feature.
