WILD SCENES IN
GOTHAM SALOONS
New York.- Mayor Gaynoi having
is-ued orders for the closing at l a.tu.
,if all saloons and restaurants where
:;.(itor was sold, extraordinary scenes
were witnessed, when the police tried
to enforce the order.
Hundreds of patrons refused to leave
and some of them who were women
were earried bodily into the streets by
he policemen. Si me of the places
were the scenes of hand-to-hand com
bats with the police. While the dis
order was at its height a number of
rounders commenced looting, obtaining
food and drink gratis while the police
\\ ere -ipialibiing.
Many places will lose their licenses
us a result of the unseemly proceed
ing-. The higher-class places are the
most d plica! t to deal with, as they do
the best part of their trade after 1
a.m. They claim that the new order
is simply differentiating in favor of the
hotels to which their former patrons
now are driven.
Christiana. Norway, April s. -The
Norwegian expedit on for the relief of
the German scientists stranded in a
remote part of Spitsbergen has not
succeeded in its undertaking, being
compelled to return to Green harbor in
a deplorable condition.
The expedition reached Dickson bay,
where a hurricane stopped progress.
Seven dogs died and several mem
bers of the rescuing party were frost
bitten. 1'wo sleds were destroyed and ;
for that reason and the loss of the dugs i
the expedition was forced to leave all
provisions except minimum rations
No further ((Tort will be possible until
additional dogs are sent from Norway.
Kxperls consider that unless the;
Hermans are rescued in the near future
their position will he very precarious.
Baltimore, April 11. All efforts to J
locate the do immigrant girls who dis- ;
appeared between Baltimore and Chi
cago have failed, and it is believed
thev have become the victims of white j
sla vers.
Officials of the 11. A O. railroad deny
that the girls disappeared on their
road, but employes have stated that
they saw them leave the car and later
saw the train depart without them.
Those working cm the case are very
puzzled. They confess it seems im
possible that 20 immigrants could be ,
lost without leaving a trace: but there ,
can bo no question that they have I
been. Relatives and friends who were ;
to have met them at Chicago say they j
never arrived there. Officials declare!
the* train arrived with the immigrant
car, but whether there were any on ,
board or not at that time they cannot !
say.
The mystery is baffling ail the efforts'
of the special agents detailed by the j
government secret service department j
to unravel it.

ALASKA RAILROADS BILL
BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE
Washington, May 9. — Appearing before the Senate committee
on territories during the discussion on the Alaska railroad bill,
Gifford Pinchot urged that in the event of railroads being built
they should be constructed and operated by the government.
Delegate WIckersham agrees with Pinchot. He does not
believe, as do a number of others, that this would mean slow con
struction. lie believes the work would mould move forward as
rapidly and successfully as the Panama canal has done. He will
advocate that Panama canal officials be retained and transferred to
Alaska to build the roads.
Representative Humphrey believes in private construction,
ownership and operation, with the government guaranteeing the
bonds.
Will Kill the White Pass
President Dickeson, of the White Pass railroad, said that his
company would be forced into bankruptcy if the government built
a trunk line to Interior Alaska.
Fisher Blames Congress
Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the Interior department under
the Taft administration, appeared before the committee. Hi? said
that responsibility for present conditions in Alaska rested squarely
on the shoulders of Congress, which failed to do anything to fui
ther the interests of the territory, although repeatedly urged j
thereto by those possessing first hand knowledge ol thecouutiy s
great resources.
Government Coal FVlines
Senator Hitchcock- proposed that tin' government should ope-j
rate some coal mines in conjunction with the railroads, and lease j
others for periods not exceeding 30 years, receiving as payment j
•2a per cent, of the net annual profits._
WILE 8
The story of the first tragedy in connection with the Teslin
stampede is told in a coast paper. Shortly after news of the
strike leaked out a party of three prospectors left Atlin for the
scene. Planning on being able to replenish their stocKs at a
trading post not far from their goal, they started out light, figur
ing they would be able to reach Silver creek, do their suiKing ano
return within 11 few days. On reaching the post they found it
deserted.
One of the party was deputed to return for supplies, and to
meet the others on their way back. This man got lost, but. finally
reached an Indian encampment. The other two pushed on to
their destination, putting themselves on the very shortest of
rations. The excessive cold and lack oi food reduced them to a
miserable condition. One of them, named Inr.detiiunn, became
insane, and tried to commit suicide by jumping into a roaring
campfire. In endeavoring to wrest le with iiis demented companion,
the other man. Redmond, badly burned both of his feet.
Lindemann died, and Redmond, as a last resource, turned the
dogs loose and blindly followed their lead. When almost ah in and
on the point of curling himself up in the snow to die, the dogs
scented an Indian camp. Redmond v,as attended to and taken
into Atlin. Roth of his feet had to be amputated._
Pekin, April A The first Chinese parliament convened today
amid scenes of great popular enthusiasm. Yuan Shi Kai per
formed the opening ceremonv, immediately after which the legis
lature got down to business.
Tiie galleries were crowded with spectators, and specially re
served seats were occupied by representatives of foreign powers.
The parliament is modeled after those of the United States
and Croat Britain. Pike the United States there is a senate and a
house of representatives, but the cabinet members must belong to
one of the houses and retain their seats therein, as in the British
parliament. Moreover, the senate's veto power is limited like the
house of lords’ is.
London, May 9. — The Powers having sent an ultimatum to
Montenegro demanding the immediate withdrawal of the troops
from the conquered city, the evacuation took place today.
It is announced from Gettinje that King Nicholas of Monte
negro is brokenhearted at having to abandon the city and will
abdicate.
PRISON FOR WOMEN
GUARDED BY WOMEN
Chicago.—Members of the Illinois
Women’s Democratic league have be
gun a movement for the establishment
in the state of a separate penitentiary
for women.
The institution as proposed would be
entirely governed by women and would
be separated entirely from the other
state prisons. A part of the plan is to
have a board of three women commis
sioners directly in control and to have
women exclusively employed as guards,
attendants and all other positions.
A bill already has been passed by
the legislature for an appropriation
for the establishment of a new state
penitentiary, and Gov. Dunne has
promised members of the league that
‘the matter will he held in abeyance
I unlil he is informed of the nature of
| the project for which the women are
working.
TRAPPER TO VISIT
THE ARCTIC COAST
Owen Williams left Fairbanks the
first week in April on his way to the
Arctic coast. Ele expects to be gone
a year, and while the trip is more in
the nature of a hunting and trapping
venture, the possibilities of the country
from a mining standpoint will not be
overlooked.
The route to'be traveled bv Mr.
I Williams was via Rampart and the
north fork of toe Chaodlar. Ele in
! tended to pick up a companion for the
trip to the Arctic in the Chandlar.
