Seward Gives Fitting Recognition
of Return of the Nation’s
Birthday.
Seward’s indoor Fourth of July cele
bration Wednesday was pronounced a
success by the large crowd which tilled
Moore's hall. This verdict applied
alike to the musical and oratorical
program and to the dance which fol
lowed and continued far into the fifth
of the month. With rare good judg
ment the committee in charge made
the program short. It occupied little i
more than an hour and every feature |
commanded attentive interest, its
variety preventing its becoming a,
drag even for a moment.
(Veil H. (iegg delivered a short ad-1
dress in which he glorified the nation
and Alaska, making glowing predic
tions of the future of the territory. J
Ho advocated municipal incorporation j
for Seward because it would double the
school fund of the town under the pro
visions of the law governing the terri
tory. He also urged that the anni
versary of the formal transfer of
Alaska from Russia to the l nited
States, which was made October l'',
1st,7, be celebrated annually in the
territory. This moved Rev. L. H.
Pedersen to introduce a resolution to^
that effect which was adopted unani
mously and enthusiastically, as fol
lows:
Resolved: 1st That it is the sense
of this meeting that October l^th. the
day of the year when the formal trails- j
fer of Alaska was made by Russia to j
thePnitedStates.be a legal holiday
in Alaska.
2nd That the said holiday he oh-i
served by appropriate exercises where- ;
ever practicable.
Fourth of July in Alaska seems to
be much the same as the day elsewhere j
under the Stars and Stripes. Low
temperature and leaden skies ini
Seward failed to check the patriotism, ,
or at least to diminish the holiday j
spirit of the residents, and everybody
sought the customary Independence
Day diversions.
Although firecrackers were not in
evidence because the merchants failed
to import any, in obedience to a gen
, oral request of the adult population, of
which notice was not given to the
small boys, still a sturdy effort was
made in the morning by those persons
whose patriotism is of the turbulent
j description, with anvils and giant caps
to give a noisy greeting to the day.
Flags and bunting on all stores and
, many residences attested that wherever
; American men and women are to be
found the banner of the world's great
I est republic will flaunt on the country’s
natal day, but otherwise the streets
were quiet because a majority of the
population went out on the excursion
train to the lakes.
SENATOR PILES ON ALASKA
(iives Washington Post Large Stock
of Information.
Senator Piles of Washington, who is
! one of the most active Alaska promo
ters in congress, recently backed a
Washington Post reporter into a cor
ner and filled him up with a column
interview which told the readers of
that paper more than most of them
had dreamed of al>out the territory.
Among other facts the senator gave
the following:
“There is nothing surprising in the
fact that relatively few of our people
even remotely begin to appreciate
what a wonderland Alaska is. With
out considering the question of gold
production, which we all know has
passed the hundred-million mark, most
of us give a start of surprise when we
are told that in summer Alaska is lit
erally a land of flowers: that one por
tion. where even now wild grass grows
seven feet high, is destined to be a
stock-raising region: that another
section will grow wheat: that almost
anywhere fruit and vegetables can be
grown in amazing profusion, and that
some of these days agricultural Alaska
will support in comfort and happiness
as many million people as now live in
our Pacific coast states.
“Truth is, Alaska is the only re
maining portion of our once vast pub
lic domain: it is the only section now
left where a man can find a free
home: it affords even a greater oppor
i tunity than did the West of my boy
hood for a poor man to ’go West and
! grow up with the country:' its fertile
interior beckons to the pioneer with
ax and rifle, and the day is coming
I when those productive plains and val
j leys will be settled by a hardy and
I prosperous set of people.”

Whitney and New hall came in on the

BAD REPUTATION
Architect Killed by Harry Thaw
Charged With Glaring So
cial Offenses.
By Cable to Tlie Daily Gateway.
New York. .Tune 30—The Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
states that an application was made to
it a short time ago for the arrest of
Stanford White upon the charge of
ruining a 12-year old girl in his olTice.
Nothing was done because the society
was unable to obtain sufficient evi
dence.
Last month White took a party of
drunken women to his magnificent
home. When his wife tried to prevent
their entlance he pushed her aside and
lit* and the women caroused in the
house all night.
It is discovered that White was
heavily involved in debt and aside from
$2‘>0.00o life insurance leaves little
estate.
Thaw was arraigned in court today
and pleaded not guilty to the charge of
murder. The defense will he emo
tional insanity.
Thaw Denies Insanity
New York. July 2- Harry Thaw in
sists that he is not insane and wants to
base his defense for the killing of
White upon the unwritten law that a
man has a right to slay the destroyer
of his home. His attorney, hx-Lov.
Hlack. refuses to permit any other de
fense than that of emotional insanity.
The prosecution is trying to get Mrs.
Thaw, otherwise known as Evelyn
Nesbit. the actress, to testify against
her husband, but she declares that she j
will stand upon her legal right to re
fuse to testify.
Thaw Case Over Until October
New Vork, July .5 District Attorney
Jerome returned to the city today to
take charge of the prosecution of
! Harry Thaw for the murder of Stan*
j ford White. Jerome says the case will
[ not be tried before October.
.New Facts in Thaw Case
New Vork, July ti—District Attorney
Jerome has discovered that before her
marriage to Harry Thaw a complaint
in a breach of promise suit against,
him was prepared for Evelyn Nesbit.
•The pair had traveled in Europe to
gether before they were married. The
breach of promise suit was instigated
by White and this is given as one of
the reasons why Thaw hated White.'
USE WEAPONS OF WAR
TO SETTLE BUSINESS
Seldovia, June 29—Correspondence of
the Gateway—A speedy settlement of
the business affairs of the coal oil
1 steamer Yentna was effected here
j by a knife and gun play between
Charles C’orser and Robert Hawes, the
I owner*, who have been operating the
j boat on the upper Yentna river.
The ” pardners" chased each
J other up and down the beach until
they became tired without intlicting
any permanent physical damage. Then
j they conducted negotiations on a more
peaceable basis with the result that
j C’orser bought out the interest of
Hawes, and the latter will sail for
Seattle on the Santa Ana.
! Corser conducted the Moose Cabin
cafe in Seward for a short time late in
j the winter. Hawes is one of the two
men who brought up the coal oil boat
from Seattle on the Farallon in March.

WILL NOT WORK
WITH ORIENTALS
Puget Sound Union Longshore
men Bar Vessels Which Em
ploy Yellow Men.
By Cable to The Dolly Gateway.
Seattle, July 2—The longshoremen’s
union of Puget Sound passed a resolu
tion yesterday forbidding its members
to work on ships which employ Japan
ese and Chinese in place of union sail
ors. The resolution is aimed at the
Pacific ()oast Steamship (,'ompany. In
dians are not tabooed.
It is believed that the action of the
longshoremen’s union will have an im
portant influence on the sailors’ strike '
as it will embarrass the Pacific Coast
Company considerably in the loading
and discharging of cargoes. The com
pany employes Orientals on several of
its vessels.
Rain Stops Forest Fire
Rain Sunday night stopped the forest
lire along the Johnson creek trail
which had been burning for several
days. L. G. Jackson telephoned in to
the Gateway Monday that the
lire had devastated probably two
square miles, or nearly that, and con- >
sumed a large quantity of valuable
standing timber. This tire did not
start from engine sparks as was at
lirst supposed, but up the mountain
side from a prospectors’ camp lire, and
burned down hill toward the railroad.
Walter Wellman will try to sail to
the north pole in an airship which
weighs 50 tons.
