years ago today the first shipment of j
klondyke gold arrived from the norta I
on the steamship Portland and today
». the fact has been brought to mind t\»
the papers and the event is regarded
now as historical when remembered
in association with the plan to btdhl
an Alaskan railroad.
As a coincidence worth noting a
permit was finally granted today
the customs ollicials for the shinping
east of (»•"» live foxes from Hot springs.

because of the regulations governing
ranch bred foxes but it has he m
proved to the satisfaction of the o‘ri
cials that these particular foxes were
not bred oil a ranch at all and that t.o
permit was necessary.

Mount McKinley where they say they ;
are going only for the purpose ol

nay see the vountry.
There is a rumor to the effect that j
their trip is not entirely intended as a j
pleasure outing but there is no reason 1
to believe that they have any other '
purpose in view except that the com- j
ing development of Alaska leads some ;
people to believe that large capital is
sure to become interested there. Iso

SEATTLE, July IS.—The city phy

The man was tried for the murder of

STRIKERS AND NON-STRIKERS
IN ARKANSAS IN BATTLE
AND DYNAMt I E-WORKS
DESTROYED
FORT SMITH, Ark., July 18.—The
union and non union miners of the ,
Prarie Creek mines engaged in a i
fierce battle here today and during
the light the union men succeeded »a I
planting dynamite in several of th° j
mines and blowing them up. The de
struction wrought by the explosive*
was terrific and it is believed that
several valuable properties have been
placed beyond the possibility ol pav
ing for their reopening.
Several of the men on both sides
were severely injured in the tight but
no fatalities icsulted although it s
not unlikely that some deaths may
yet occur as a consequence of the
wounds received.
HUERTA SAFE
ON THF COAST
PUERTO MEXICO, July 18.-Vic
torian » Huorto and General Blame’ '♦
•arrived here this morning on the wav
to Europe and the former president
on his arrival gave out a statement i i
which he declared that he had long
ago pledged himsclt to restore peace
to the country even if it cost him Hie
presidency to do so. He also express
ed the hope that tranquility would
v.w come to all parts of the republic.
“Nothing would please me more i**
exile”. he said, “than to learn that *hc
■otintry is enjoying freedom f»’om at
tack by people inside or outside the
republic”.
He received quite a friendly recep
tion from the people of this city hut
is, nevertheless, closely guarded from
the danger of assassination by those
who still retain a hitter memory o
he murder of Madero.
It is ! elieved that his final destina
will be Paris hut even this is still
kept a secret.
JUAREZ. July IS.—General Vi la
has maintained a grim silence almost
luring the whole time since the cs
.•ape of his arch enemy, Huerta. He
seems to have experienced something
akin to a personal affliction because i f
•is failure to lay his hands on the
man whom he regarded as his partic
ular foe. He has made no statemer 1
as to his intentions for the future
with respect to the promised presi
dency of Carranza but many be’ievv
he is awaiting calmly the first move
from the Carranza people to see if
there will he any attempt to di. n
him.
MEXICO CITY, July 18.—Acting
President Carbajal remains in the
palace closely guarded. He had ri
ccived no answer from Carranza th*s
morning concerning his offer to give
way to the constitutionalist leader on
condition that an amnesty would tc
granted to Huerta, Blanquet and the
other supporters of the fallen presi
dent. The city is quiet and is looking
forward to the entrance of the rebels
rather as an occasion of holiday mak
ing than otherwise. The people cf
the capital are particularly desirous
of seeing Villa who is not known here
at all except by the reputation whit:,
he has gained since the beginning *'?
the present rebellion.
PUERTO MEXICO, July 18.—
- ta and Blanquet, unaccompanied
anv others, depart today on the

MX KILLED WHEN FREIGHT
STRIKES ELECTRIC CAR
Twenty Others Badly Hurt and Gai
ls Demolished Near Norfolk
NORFOLK, July 17.—Six people
were killed and twenty others were
severely injured when a railroad
freight ran into an electric car near
this city today. The electric car was
filled with people going out to the
suburbs and that the casualties we*c
not far more serious is regarded as
remarkable. The car was demolished
and was thrown over on its side so
! that the occupants were piled on top
! of each other in a wriggling, strug
gling. helpless mass. Some of those
who were injured received tl eir in
juries as a matter of fact while they
; were all piled together in the wreck.

MINORITY STOCKHOLDERS GET
AFTER THE SWINDLERS
CONNECTED WITH NEW
HAVEN RAILROAD
BOSTON, July 17.—The minority
stockholders filed suit today against
the directors of the New Haven rail
road for the sum of three hundred
and six million dollars and have al
ready secured an order of attachment
so that the whole matter is now on
the verge of being concluded in a
manner that will compel the Erectors
to tell the whole truth and nothing
but the truth as .to the transactions
that destroyed the great properly.
This is the road about which the com
mittee of investigation some t:me ago
declared that there iiad been criminal
negligence on the part of the manip
ulators of the road’s affairs and in
connection with which the committee
suggested that either Mellen oi Mor
gan was responsible.
The decision of the stockholders te
bring suit was precipitated bv the re
fusal of Ihe directors by unanimous
vote to sell to the Boston po>p‘e on
the agreement that with each certifi
cate of stock there should be a stiju
1 at ion that the purchaser would sell
to the state on demand.
Many months will be taken for the
trial of the suit and some of the most
sensational evidence ever produced in
a court of law is loked for. Mme of
the witnesses will be men v hose
names are those of the most eminent
in the financial world and it is virtu
ally certain that the people of me
country will gain an insight into 4he
methods of financiers such as they
had never before enjoyed.
HARRY THAW GETS
A GOOD GRUBSTAKE
Court Allows Him Seven Thousand
Dollars Denied By His Trustees
PITTSBURG, July 17.—The or
phans court of this state awarded yes
terday to Harry Thaw the sum of
about seven thousand dollars fr »in the
income of his father’s estate. '! he
trustees of the estate had refus al to
give this money to Thaw as long as
Ik* was legally regarded as insane as
they could not do so under the law.
The granting of the money to him by
the court is, therefore, practically an
admission by this court at least that
Thaw is not now debarred because of
insanity.
ELKS REFUSE TO LET
THEM GET THEIR GOAT
Momentous Decision in Favor of Re
taining the Great Fraternal
Beast
—
DENVER, July 17.—The fall and
flight of Huerta was forgotten for a
time in this city today in the momen
tous question as to whether the Elks
National convention, which is now in
session here, would agree to exile and
abolish forever the initiatory goat.
The proposal was made that not only
the goat but most of the rough, work
of initiation would be abolished in tie
hope that a good deal of bufoonery
might be eliminated from all initia
tions in all the orders but the great
majority of the delegates held f.cmly
to the famed beast and the wi.iskci ed
national bird of fraternities holds ivs
proud place in the presidential chair
of fraternal republic#.
IT IS AN ILL WIND
KANSAS CITY, July 17.—'The tre
mendous heat wave which has caused
the prostration of many people here
and all over the state for some dajs
past was relieved today by storms
which came suddenly and with great
force. The relief brought is like that
occasioned by the sudden coming of
spring after a very severe winter, but
with the conditions reversed.
ROOSEVELT RO VSTS WHITMAN
OYSTER BAY, July 17.—'The ulore
Roosevelt today issued a sevji-o con
demnation of Whitman, the pr>secut
ing attorney of New York, because of
some difference of opinion which has
recently arisen on the question of the
nomination of a candidate for the
governorship of the state. “Whitman
is either a hopeless weakling or in
league with Boss Barnes”, said the
colonel, and the rest of his statement
is composed of an attack wh! h may
be said to be founded on theso words.

CHICAGO, July 18.—The east and
middle western states are again suf

SOCIETY DAME
IS INDICTED
"
MRS. CARMAN INDICTED
FOR WOMAN'S MURDER
Released on Hail of $20,000 Although
Charge Is Most Serious
MINEOLA, N. Y., July 17.-Mrs.
Carman, wife of the fashionable phy
sician, Dr. Carman, was indicted by
the grand jury here today on the
charge of shooting and killing Mrs.
Louise Bailey while the latter was
sitting in the office of Mrs. Carman’s
husband.
She was released, however, so *
after the indictment was read, on a
bail of $20,000 which she found r.o
difficulty in securing as all her rela
tives are wealthy and people of high
social standing.
Since the occurrence Dr. Carman
has received scores of offers of finan
cial assistance from people in ail
parts of the country to aid him i i
meeting the expenses of the procee i
ings arising from the event.
The woman herself remains calm
♦
and collected. She is a woman of
rare beauty and high culture and this
is one of the reasons why the killing
of Mrs. Bailey is looked upon as ono
of the most remarkable occurrences
of its kind in criminal history.
Most people are now inclined to
think that Mrs. Carman did commit
the act through jealousy but others
oelieve that she really only wished to
frighten her husband and that the
killing of the woman was only acci
dental.
LUNATIC REALLY DID
ESCAPE FROM EVANS
Said to Have Been Tied to Ceiling of
Room on Ship When Deputies
Left Him
That an insane man did really es
cape while on his way to Seattle on
the Admiral Evans as told in the
Gateway, is a fact as shown by ad
vises from Valdez. The report given
out here in Seward is to the effecc
that the man was tied to the roof of
the room aboard ship when the
guards left him but that he managed
to get away and probably got out
through the porthole.
The following is the latest story of
the occurrence from Valdez:
“Word was received at the office of
United States Marshal Brenneman
that Paul Rosyiaka, the insane pat
ient taken from Valdez on the steam
er Admiral Evans by Deputy Mar
shal Brightwell, of Cordova, for com
mitment in the government hospital
at Portland, had broken his handcuffs
when near Juneau and escaped from
the state room and probably jumped
overboard and drowned. A careful
search of the ship failed to reveal the
hiding place of the man and it is al
most certain that he jumped into the
ocean. Deputy Brightwell continued
on to Seattle with tlm expeettaion
that Rosyiaka may still be on the
boat.
JUNEAU VOTES AGAINST
