FREE HOMES" BILL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The House

ALASKA AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The senate
committee on public lands today con-
sidered, but did not complete the house
bill granting right of way to railroads
in Alaska. The attention of the commit
tee has been called to the proposition of
a Canadian corporation to build an all
rail route to the KNndike country, and
it is said the Canadian government pro-
poses to give the company $500 acres of
land and to prevent any other corpora
tion from building to the Klondike over
Canadian soil. The committee has been
Informed that a great deal of opposition
has developed to this proposition in
Canada, and it has been suggested that
congress at once take such action as will
bring about amica BILE relations between
Canadians and Americans. so that
trade relations may not be impeded, and
so that traffic may be diverted to the
American lines. The commit
tee was informed that bill made to meet
these desires was being prepared in the
treasury department. but the opinion
was expressed that it could not be made
a part of the bill now under considera-
ton by the committee, because the lat
ter relates wholly to the right of way
and land laws. 1t is possible that the
other bill will be pushed as a separate
measure.

Frank Daniels Continual Kissing of
His Chorus Girls in 'The
Idols Eve"

Harry B. Smith and Victor Herbert's
second comic opera creation, The IDOLS
Eye" has more Frank Daniels and less
catchy music in its makeup than their
former production, 1.-The Wizard of the
Nile But the theater-going public
prefer Frank Daniels and his funny lit
tie ways to catchy music, and this is
why the Eye has proved even a big
ger success than the Wizard" Daniels
is on the stage more in his new opera,
and for this reason it is more prolific
of laughs in the same space of time
than the opera which served to bring
him into renOWn a comic opera star.
If THE Idols Eye does nothing else,
it serves to place the little comedian in
a class which might be designated as
"HObSonian." The opportunity afforded
for Osculatory gymnastics by the opera
seems to be continuous. The diminutive
star goes at it in an easy manner and to
all appearances enjoys the feature:
much more so than the audience, to
which it is more or less sickening after
a certain period.
But the Eye doesn't stop at this in
affording Daniels opportunities. 1t gives
him the chance to drop his abbreviated
skirt just IS often as he had the chance
he pulls whiskers from the face of the
Cuban planter and snaps the rubber on
the cOuntenance of the Scotch vagabond
just as often as he went after the knob
of hair on the head of the Egyptian
king in his former production.

NCOuIluueo rum + ASL eSS'g
came on the witness stand and she told
YOU a strange story of a night trip to
Scranton and the return in the morning,
and how she then, after having been up
all night started out with a cOlOred
girl to hunt a house at 5 o'clock in the
morning, and while going along Sixth
street at the alley between Harrison
and Van Buren, street she heard the
cOlOred girl make an exclamation and
she looked up and saw a man standing
on the roof of the coal shed of the Col
Inns home. The story was nShy. we
knew it could not be true. We knew
that there was no man on the roof, and
the next day Ella Buchanan, the color
ed girl, went on the stand and sWOre
that every word she had said in cor
robOratiOn of Mrs. Burnett'S story was
a perjury
that no one left that house that morn
ing. Think of the absolute familiarity
which the person must have possessed,
and when you think of these facts,
gentlemen, you can come to but one
conclusion and that is that John Col
Inns is guilty of the murder.
How the Crime v as Fastened on Collins
And now I want to dwell to some ex-
tent on another phase of this case. 1
want to call to your minds exactly how
this crime was fastened on John Col
Inns. When the people had examined
and found that no one had entered or
left that house that morning, they came
to the conclusion that John Collins had
killed his father But there was one
thing that stood before the minds Of
the people at that time and that was
that up to that time John Collins had
always borne a good reputation.
He had always been gentlemanly and
polite and was a lay reader in the Episco-
pal church And on the morning of the
home with evidence of grief for the death
of his father. and the people said it could
not have been possible that such a nice
young man as John Collins could have
committed the crime They did not know
that he had been conserving with these
colored men, that he had been down ct
the 400 club drinking whisky with the
negroes. They did know that he would
admit of having gone into gambling
schemes with negro tOughs.
On the morning of the murder, John
Collins told you on the witness stand that
as he was passing through the hall, he
heard someone say that the man who

Frances Babcock, and when you take
these circumstances in consideration,
gentlemen, they can point to the guilt
of but one man, and that man is John
Collins
4 don't mean to touch on the suicide
theory. You have seen from evidence
introduced in this case that suicide was
absolutely impossible. But want to
draw your attention to the testimony of
Grace Collins. / don't say that Grace
Collins has said anything on that wit
ness stand that was wrong, but if she
has, don't care. She is Johns sister.
Grace Collins has told you that she was
awakened by something that sounded
to her like a grOan, and then she heard
her brother call and jump out of bed.
And then, gentlemen, she says she
heard a rushing past her door We ask
ed her to describe the rushing noise and
she said she could not detect footsteps
accompanying it. Let me tell you gem
tlemen, what Grace Collins heard that
morning. The thump she heard and
thought was John lighting on the floor
from his bed was John dropping the
gun in the hall. And the rushing sound
was John Collins rushing to his room
and when she met him in the hall he
had just come upstairs after commit
ting the crime of numbering his father.
Il want to say. gentlemen of the
jury, that when you look at all the cir
cumstances you cannot help but say in
your own minds that John Henry Col
Inns is guilty of numbering his father as
charged in the information"
Mr.. Gl dard Speaks.
The largest crowd that has assem- bled
any day since the commencement of the
Collins trial was in the district court
room this afternoon when Attorney
General-elect A. A. GODDARD opened the
second argument of the defense.
The crowd was so large that Judge
Hazen asked Sheriff Cook to remain
and aid in keeping the people quiet.
Mr.. GODDARD was listened to with strict
attention by the spectators. He spoke
slowly and deliberately.
