Taft Defense of Harvester Case Sparks White House War of Words
A presidential insider statement assails Taft for alleged deceit over the International Harvester matter. It claims Taft attended cabinet talks, knew the facts, and sought to influence the government’s actions while the Senate and Bureau of Corporations faced investigations.
Prosecution Delay Tied to Bureau Inquiry and Cabinet Debate
The record outlines a cabinet meeting on January 31 1908 where Secretary Root advised delaying suit until the Bureau of Corporations completed its inquiry. Secretary Taft pressed for postponement until the investigation finished, with Bonaparte Hansbrough and Cortelyou cited in a pushback amid allegations of mendacity about Taft's knowledge and role.

Danish Crown Prince Christian Becomes King After Father’s Death
King Frederick’s death elevates Crown Prince Christian to the Danish throne at age 42. He is tall and powerful, resembles Queen Louise, and is linked to European royalty as a wealthy queen consort’s husband. The king’s brothers include King Haakon VII of Norway, with ties to Queen Alexandra I of England and other monarchs. A prior outbreak against selling the Danish West Indies boosted his popularity. The news notes a briefly planned U.S. and Canada tour that was later abandoned after the Hamburg hospital stroke death.
