KEFt'SES TO GIVE I P
CHILD SHE ADOPTED IN
CANADA SIX YEARS AGO
■
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
TOPEKA. Kansas. Sept. 6.—The re
fusal of Mrs. Ida Spencer to surrend
er to the Canadian nuns, from w horn
she adopted her, the fi year old girl
orphan in her home here, may become
an international incident, interested
attorneys said here today.
The child is a Briti>h subject, but is
living here. When Mrs. Spencer
adopted her from the Canadian or
phanage she was a baby in arms. She
has had the child for more than '»
years, but the Canadian nuns, who un
der Canadian law have the right to
recall any orphan to them before they
become of age, want her back. Mrs
Spencer says she will not give up the
child and that if they want her they
will have to fight to get her.
The horse of Frank Ennis, Joe
Buckley, got third place in his ra'-e at
Chehalis. The Seattle Times in
speaking of the race says that the
“Seward, Alaska, entry” gave the
famous Hal Paxton all he could do to
win. The winner of the race equalled
the track record of 2.0i>1*4. Thi* was
Joe Buckley’s first race.

Schofield Opens
War on (irigsby
Nome Republicans I'se Gateway to
Meet (Irigsby Here NN itli
Accusation.
This morning the Gateway received
the message printed below from
Nome. The message is evidently in
tended by the Republicans of the Sec
ond division as a challenge to Grigsby
when lie arrives in Seward tonight or
tomorrow. Owing to the severity of
the accusations by Schofield against
Grigsby it is doubtful if a paper
should publish it without some ex
planation. and the explanation in this
case is that the Gateway is not re
sponsible for whatever political news
might come over the wires.
The Message:
XOMK, Sept. 0.—One of the lergest
and most enthusiastic political gath
erings ever held at Nome was the Re
publican meeting held last night in
furtherance of the candidacy of
George D. Schofield for attorney gen
eral and of the whole Republican leg
islative ticket. Schofield scathingly
criticized Grigsby, the Democratic
candidate for attorney general, as the
enemy of laboring men, particularly
when he persecuted union labor men
while he acted as district attorney.
The speaker produced certain records
to prove that Grigsby acted as private
attorney for the Johnson Lighterage
Company at a time when the Johnson
company and other corporations de
clared a lockout against union labor
in the great strike of 1005. At the
same time. Schofield charged, Grigsby
refused to prosecute Bell, an ex-con
vict and a government witness and
agent of Johnson in the strike cases,
when Schofield who was defending the
laboring men forced Rell to confess
on cross-examination that he had com
mitted perjury on the witness shtnrl.
Schofield made a strong speech and
exploded a bomb in the (Jrigsby camp.
The Democrats are demoralized. Toe
laboring men are with Schofield who
has defended them for many years.
It is predicted that Schofield and the
entire legislative ticket will carry the
Second division strong. Sdnfieldj
leaves for Fairbanks tomorrow on an
active campaign of the entire terri
tory.
SAYS AUKAHAM LINCOLN
OPPOSED MEXICAN WAR
Away back in the Forties Ahraham
Lincoln opposed the war with Mexfco J
in the house of Representatives. “IT
l were a Mexican l would meet thc»i
American invaders with bloody i
hands” are the words in which the
great American expressed his opinion
before tin* former war with the other
republic, and the fact is interesting
now in the light of present events
when President Wilson is being at
tacked for his Mexican policy.
The above statement is given on
tin* authority of Mr. J. 1*. Campbell
the nonogenarian who is now in Sew
ard. Sixty nine years ago Mr. Camp
bell constantly saw Lincoln before the
latter had entered congress at all. At
Paris, Illinois, the home of Mr. Camj*
bell, Lincoln entered court several
times a year. He is described by Mr.
Campbell as a man who took up cases
that were decided on the law while
another lawyer on the circuit was
equally famous as the lawyer when it j
came to sentimental cases. Mr. j
Campbell says Lincoln was regarded;
as the great exponent of law and con-'
stantly traveled with the judge and ]
appeared to aid him..
To sit and listen to Mr. Campbell
talk is to be spirited away back to
the great days of old from the mater
ial things of the present. In two
months he will be ninety years of age
but today is in full possession of every
faculty and speaks with an intellig
ence and clarity that a man of thirty
might be proud of. He was thirty
six years of age, with a wife and
family, when he enlisted for the Civil
war and that is over half a century
ago. He fought in fourteen battles
and in one of thest battles, that or
Stone river, his regiment lost three
hundred men. Three times he was
wounded, twice very slightly. Today
after seventy years he can tell you
the names of the other lawyers on the
circuit traveled by Lincoln and even
their personal habits. What a historic
treasure that mind carries can onTy
be imagined by one who hears him
speak.
For ) on, Madame

York to look after the purchasing of our winter stock of
