Wiiliatn CarsoQ Brown of New York,
who was in Yaldez with E T. Teterof
the Reynolds Alaska Development com
pany last spring, denies that the Rey
nolds faction lias regained control of
the corporation. In a letter to a fecU
ri al olllcial at Yaldez he sa< s:
"I notlcc in the Prospector of July .10
that Ueynob's is in control now of the
c>npan>'s affairs. This is absolutely
ui truthful, lie hat nothing whoever
to do with it, and as yet no officers have
een elected to take tiie place of Kistler,
Teter, Brady and the rest. In fact the
meeting in Seattle has developed a
most bitter hatred of Reynolds, Brund
ace and Masoo, who are assisting Rey
nolds, and it looks to me now as if that
Seattle meetiug was ijoing to be a fail
ure of its purpose, and that tho present
otlicers will lioiJ over until the next
annual meeting. Reynolds anu his
clique tried some revolutionary tactics
wliich did no' woik, and now they don't
know where they are at. Please tell
everybody you see that that statement
in the paper was untrue ar.d also Rey
nolds is not five from the U. S. iudict

coming 1 think some time next mouth."

POOR ID FORMER |
(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Cincinnati, Sept. 2S ? Senator Foraker is out with an '
eight thousand word reply to Roosevelt and Hearst in their
charges against him of being in the employ of the Standard
Oil company, lie says there is nothing new about the
charges except that they are sprung an emphasis laid upon
them at this time for political effect, in the one instance be
cause he is not in sympathy and has opposed the policies of
President Roosevelt as un-American, against public policy
and contrary to the spirit of the constitution, and in the j
other case because he is a republican and the attempt is
made to reflect upon the party for the benefit of the can
didate of the opposing party.
He says it is true that he is counsel for the Standard
Oil company, that lie has long been so and that there has
never been any secret about it ? that everybody knows it. j

so employed, lie takes the occasion to roast Taft for favor,
ing corporations and takes a caustic fling at his alleged
trust breaking pioelivities and what he would do with them
if elected president.
