Garfield was not kept in Taft's cabinet as Interior Secretary due to antagonism to Alaska coal claimants. Glavis said he filed an affidavit but denied it reflected on Taft.

Meanwhile in Korea, twenty Japanese settlers were killed in South Phongan unrest as Seoul dispatches report insurgent activity and troop deployments.
