HEARST NOW
I ATTACKS KERN
Bryan’s Running Mate Is Accus
ed of Taking Free Rides on
Indiana Railroads.
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Los Angeles, Oct. (>—William R
Hearst last night continued his assault
upon the leaders of the old parties by
making an attack upon John W. Kern,
the vice-presidential candidate on the
democratic ticket, for playing into the'
hands of the corporations. Hearst j
charges Kern with accepting favors
from the railroad companies by riding ;
over their lines in Indiana on a pass.
Pelt of the Rare Black Fox
In no way except in color does the
I black fox differ from the red fox, whose
1 pelt sells for ohout $2, or from the
gray fox, whose winter coat is valued
j at from $150 to $400; but whenever a
I hunter can secure a black fox and re
: move its skin without marring the fur
I he is sure of receiving from $800 to
j $1,500 for his trophy. Not only is
every black fox pelt bought as soon as
taken, but a dozen Russian noblemen
have paid agents traveling in North
America all through the winter seek
ing out remote camps where it is pos
sible that a shy and elusive black
fox may have been seen.

BEVERIDGE
MAKES SPEECH
Senator From Indiana Talks to
Big Crowd on “America’s
Greater Navy.”
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Seattle, Oct. 6—Senator Albert J.
Beveridge of Indiana opened the state
campaign here last night. A large
crowd numbering fully 7,000 people |
gathered to hear the distinguished
speaker. Mr. Beveridge chose for his
subject '‘America’s Greater Navy,”
and advocated the wisdom and even
necessity of a greater navy, not for the
purpose of waging war, but for the
purpose of ensuring the maintenance
of peace.
Alaska Wireless Stations
Throughout Alaska the new wireless
stations are being given a test to see
whether the systems which have been
arranged at a cost of $100,000 will be
an effective means of communication
in Alaska in addition to the telegraph
line throughout the interior.
The stations which have been com
pleted this year are at Fort Gibbon,
Circle City, Nome and Eagle. Each
station is equipped with a twenty
horse power engine and a tower 200
feet high. All the latest devices
known in the arrangement of a wire
less station have been employed and it
is confidently believed that the work
of the stations will be a success.
The station at Fairbanks, Alaska,
was completed last year, but owing to
the lack of power and to the static
electricity in the air, the system was
not effective.
This year larger horse power capaci
ty has been employed and the experts,
Clifton, Cunningham and Jeunett, of
the signal corps service, hope to
demonstrate the ability of the system
as a working unit in the intelligence
department of the army.—Seatfcle

COURT GIVES
ITS CISION
Earthquake Clause in Insurance
Policies Is Declared to Be
Null and Void.
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
San Francisco, Oct. 6—The circuit
court has just rendered a decision to
the effect that the earthquake clause
in insurance policies is null and void.
This matter has been before the courts
for some time and grew out of the
heavy losses incurred at the time of
the destruction of the city by earth
quake and fire in 1906.
Early Winter In North
Bernard M. Stone, for the past six
years a resident of Nome and until re
cently manager of The Nome Nugget,
declares that the winter season will
be early in the North. When he
left Nome reports from Teller were to
the effect that four inches of snow had
fallen and the rivers were beginning
to freeze.
“Few miners will winter in the
Seward Peninsula district this season,”
said Mr. Stone. “The biggest strike
to be reported of late was from New
ton Gulch, near Nome, and from what
I could learn those who have staked
claims are hopeful of rich dirt.”—Seat
