ARRESTED FOR MURDER
j. H. Bird Killed Two Men in
Alaska.
AVARlCE AND JEALOUSY
The Climax OF a Quarrel Concerning the
Division OF Supplies Bird Says
There Was Conspiracy
to Do HIM Up.

St. Michaels, Alaska. June 80, via Sc
attle, Wash, July Al. Homer Bird OF
New Orleans is now prisoner in the
military barracks charged with the
murder of j. II. Herring and r. II, Pat
terson. Charles Shelter and Noma
Strong are held under $1,000 bonds as
witnesses. The entire party came from
New Orleans. The prisoner and wit
nesses will be taken to Sitka Cor tlial
From Wallace H. Blaine, engineer of
the government launch Nordica, who
arrested Bird, particulars of the mur-
der are learned. The party of five ar
rived in St. Michaels last summer in the
bark Rufus Wood which cleared from
San Francisco. They had a full cut
fit, including steam launcn and a
barge, in which they made the trip up
the river.
The woman went as Birds wife and
she is Shelters sister. At coal rhine
about IS miles this side of Anvik it was
decided to remain for the winter. Herl-
ing and Patterson, after everything
about the place, was in shape, prOp1Sod d
to Bird that division of the supplies
be made, as they wished to earn money
by cutting wood for use by the trans
portation companies. Bird strongly Oh
jected and said he would see them in
h first A general quarrel ensued,
in which Shelter supported the other
two.
This quarrel, aided by jealousy, came
to a climax the following morning.
Sept. 81, at Breakfast time The woman
had prepared the meal and was serving
it. Bird was sitting on bunk short
distance above, overlooking the others,
who were seated at a table. The woman
asked him If he was not coming to
breakfast He said he would in short
time, as he was not feeling extra well.
Just as the meal began me woma n
heard a click, and looking up saw Ri"d
with a shotgun in his hands. At this
time Shelter looked up. and, noticing
the gun up to Birds shoulder ex-
claimed: For Gods sake, don't shoot
me-" Then a report rang out and Eerl-
ing fell dead. An instant later another
report was heard, the charge striking
Patterson about the neck and shoulders.
Patterson jumped into the river, and
as he came up Bird fired at him again.
but missed. The wounded man man.
aged to crawl to the bank, and little
later was helped into the boat by Shef-
fler and the woman who had escaped
Birds wrath. Herring was buried near
by and Patterson cared for as well as
conditions would permit until he died.
So terrified were Shelter and the
woman at Bird that not word was
said concerning the shooting for several
months. Finally the coal miners and
wood cutters began to wonder what
had become of the other two men.
They began an investigation, which
resulted in the arrest of Bird. Bird
said there was a conspiracy among the
others 'fto do him up, but he fooled
them and dropped them first"

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
San Francisco, July 14.-Lieutenant
Sutton of Company G. Oregon volun-
teers, one Of the best posted officers of
the returning regiment, said in con-
versation with a STANDARD correspond
ent to-day that in his opinion it will be
many years before real peace is estab-
lished in the Philippines
"Aguinaldo is not half as big man
among the Filipinos as he was three
months ago." said Lieutenant Sutton,
"but even with him out of the way,
this war against brigandage would go
on just the same. At least 100, 900 men
are needed to conquer and hold the big
gest island alone. Every place taken
gon regiment occupied San Rafael and
other towns no less three times Each
timethe places were entirely evacuated
by the Filipinos, but they simply went
off into rendezvous in the jungles,
changed clothing, hid their guns and
reappeared among Americans as pacifi-
cos. Many poor fellows were caught by
these traitorous gangs and chopped to
| pieces. They are cunning and cruel by
nature and the years of Spanish
training has only whetted their natural
traits. The assassination of Luna is an
example of the fate that may overtake
other leaders at any time.
The stories wired officials at WASH
ington of volunteers being eager to re-
main in the islands if assured of active
service were unfounded. / came from
the ranks and know the opinion of most
of the men. Offers Of something like
$500 or s4o0 travel pay to re-enlist were
| scorned. Not even a commission would
| induce one out of hundred men among
the volunteers to remain there. Chances
| to re-enlist were extended to California
Idaho, Nebraska, South Dakota and
other regiments. Practically no man
| accepted the offer.
The intelligent Filipinoe in business
| in Manila and other cities are really
desirous of American rule, but they are
! really small part Of the population
| In my opinion, it will be years before
| the country will be pacified sufficiently
| for Americans to travel in safety 50
| miles from any garrisoned city"
First Sergeant Dixie of Company A
| said Otis could never conquer Aguin-
| aldo by outwitting him. as Aguinaldo
| was the smarter of the two.
What is needed he said, lis man
OH land like Dewey on the sea and
plenty of men behind him, so that he
need never let up on the rebel leaders
until they yell for quarter"

REMEDY FOR STRIKES.
A Complete Change Needed in Industrial
Methods.

Denver, COL July 14-David c.
Coates, president of the State Fedora
tion of Labor, appeared as witness to-
day before the subcommittee on min
ing of the United States industrial COM
mission. He said he had known many
instances in which men had been dis
charged from service because employ
ers discovered that they had become
members of unions. Moral suasion was
the only force used to bring recalci-
trants into unions. The importation of
laborers to take the places of strikers
had been detrimental to the interests
of the state. Mr.. Coates said good al
ways resulted from arbitration, but
was not prepared to say whether or not
he favored compulsory arbitration. The
issuance of injunctions he regarded as
a means of depriving the laboring man
of the last vestige of his liberty. The
only remedy for strikes, he believed,
was complete change in the competi-
tive to the cooperative system.
The smelter strike, Mr.. Coates de-
clared, was brought about through an
attempt on the part of the American
Smelling & Refining company to rob
the laboring classes of the benefits of
the eight-hour law.
THE general public will not be bene-
fitted by the operations of the smelter
trust" he said in answer to question.
The witness said he had very little
1dltn IN laws lOr the pfolectlOn ol ldpOl'
unless they are backed up by organiza-
tion.
David C. Beaman, secretary and gen.
eral attorney for the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company, was before the COM
mission this afternoon. Mr.. Beaman
expressed hismelf as opposed to an
eight-hour law. He defended the
scrip system of payment of employees.
and in regard to the importation of
negro laborers to work in the mines
and plants of the company, Mr.. Bea-
| man declared that the men were i'm
ported because local labor was unob-
tainable and that the colored men had
proven more satisfactory than whites
in the class of work in which they are
engaged.
He said he was not in favor of labor
unions, but thought if they are per-
mfted TO exist they should be regu-
larly incorporated, SO as to be prevent
ed from shirking legal responsibilities.

The Government Should Assist Its Citi- |
zens In China.

The Government Should Assist Its Citi-
zens In China.
Washington. July 14.-Secretary Hay
received call to-day from w. Barclay
Parsons, the engineer representing the
American railway concession, control
ing the projected railroad from Canton
to Hankow, China. Mr.. Parsons ex-
planned at some length to the secretary
the obstacles in carrying out the con-
cession. The Chinese government is
ostensibly held to be obstructing the
concessionaries, but behind that gov
ernment and urging it unwillingly on
its course, are foreign influences, ac-
cording to most persons. which are
striving to secure for themselves this
concession.
Mr.. Parsons represented that an En-
glish company holding concessions for
| line from Canton to Kow Loon was
| prepared to unite interests with the
| American corporation and effect a
combina ton to maintain themselves
against these foreign influences. The
British government would naturally
| look after the interests of it's subjects
and the American incorporati tion asks
| Secretary Hay to take similar action
| to require the Chinese government to
permit the execution of the concession.
Secretary Hay promised to lay the
| matter before the president.
The American minister in Pekin has
been instructed to use his good offices
| in all proper ways in behalf of the
| American company and to prevent in
| jury to its interests. There is no foun-
dation for the report that this action is
taken in concurrence with that of the
British government. There has been no
communication between the govern
ments in regard to the matter and no
joint action has been asked for by the
American company and none has been
recommended. The Chinese minister,
Mr.. Wu Ting Fang, stated to-day that
he had not been advised in an official
manner of the combina tion between the
American and British companies hay
ing certain concessions in China, or in
any appeal to the respect of the gov
ernments and he did not care to dis
cuss the effect of such moves until he
had learned of them in an official man.

CONVENTION ENDED,

visiting teachers registered here.
At the general sessions to-day the
pavilion was crowded to excess, and
while the papers read in the morning
were devoted almost exclusively to the
educational press, those read at the
evening session We're sufficiently varied
to hold the attention of the vast aud
ience uninterruptedly. There was pa
per, however, read at the morning ses-
sion by Superintendent A. Cove of Den
YER on The Usurpation of Home by
School that was of vast Importance.
The growth of paternalism, the speaker
urged, reached over to the schools and
much of the training formerly done at
home is now relegated to the school.
The severe religious and effective dis
cipline of the early American home is
disappearing and the remedy advocated
was more time with the teacher.

OREGON VOLUNTEERS.
An Enthusiastic Reception Given Them
at San Francisco

at San Francisco.
San Francisco, July 14.-At a late
hour this afternoon the Oregon vol
unteers made their appearance on
dress parade at the Presidio. They
were addressed by Governor Geer of
Oregon, who, in the course of his re-
marks, stated that he had hoped to
see the regiment mustered out in the
state which had sent it to the Philip
pines.
Later in the evening the volunteers
were taken to the Mechanics pavilion,
where an elaborate repast had been
prepared for them by the ladies of
the Red Cross society. The big build
ing had been decorated for the occa-
sion and the repast was in every re-
spect most enjoyable. The dinner was
the first really good meal the volun-
teers had partaken of since their de-
parture for the seat of war, and it
was fully enjoyed by all who were
present. The ladies of the Red Cross
had full charge of the entertainment
and their good work received much
praise from the volunteers.
The parade out Market street to the
pavilion was not imposing from a mil
itary point of view, for the soldiers
were without arms and most of them
were attired in the undress uniform
which prevails at Manila. Their recep-
ton, however, was none the less en-
thusiastic, and the men who did such
good work thousands of miles away
from home will not soon forget the
warmth of their welcome in this city
Major General Shafter, who spoke a
few words to the returning volunteers
to-day, referred in expressive terms to
the good work they had done during
their term of service. and expressed the
hope that all the volunteer regiments
would make an equally good showing.

COPE NOME DISTRICT.
A Prospector Denounces 1t as Fake
Pure and Simple.

fure anu Sifhple.
Seattle, July 14.-David F. Lane, a
former real estate dealer of San Fran
cisco, who was a passenger on the AL
lance, brings the latest news from
Ophir and Melsing creeks, tributaries
of the Neu-Uk-Luk river which is
reached by going from Cape Nome to
Golofin bay and thence up Fish river
A stampede from Cope Nome from
these creeks took place last November.
Lane says pay dirt was found running
from 25 cents to 81 to the pan. Nobody
had struck bedrock yet. He declares
that the country is no place for a poor
man to rush off to. Wages paid the
past winter was S. per day and found.
The only chance a poor man has is
to work for wages or take lay.
Lays were eagerly taken on a basis of
30 per cent. Lane says a. miner can
not afford to take lay for less than
so per cent.
Lane secured a number of claims on
claim in which he is interested so
men had taken lays. On one other
claim, the Dusty Diamond company of
Chicago has secured lay. In two
hours working the members of the
company took out $50.
In a letter written to Lane by his
partner from Council City, on June 25
last, the latter said:
Yesterday four men on Snow gulch
cleaned up $4,000"
DR.. Kittleson took out s42 from one
pan of dirt. Many pans running from
$40 to s25 have been washed out.
AS good a story as any is the find
ing of rich claim on Dexter creek by
Leo Louneberg, He struck good ground
on Dutch creek in the Ell Dorado dis
trict He then made a trip to Nome
and back, and with an old rickety rock
err washed out s23 in two hours time
on his claim on Dexter creek. With a
good rocker he can take out $3.50 day
and with sulces $1,000 a day, and every
thing seems to pay from the grass
roots.
Very few claims up to the time Lane
left for the outside had been prospect
ed. Unprospected claims, or claims
showing pay dirt from the surface
down. were already commanding fab
ulous sums on Glacier creek, a trib-
utary of either Ophir or Melsing, of
fers have been made as high as $25,-
900 for a claim.
On Ophir creek itself good claims
were reckoned at as high as $4,000
All the good ground had been pretty
well staked out. Some of the passen-
gers who came down on the Alliance
do not bring encouraging reports from
the Cane Nome country. One of these
passengers was George Case of Ithaca.

Cape Nome as a fake, pure and sim

Cape Town. July 14.-The parliament
of Cape Colony was opened to-day A
large crowd of people assembled out
side the parliament building and hail
ed the arrival of Sir Alfred Miner, the
British high commissioner and govern
er of Cape Colony, with deafening
cheers, after which God Save the
Queen" was twice sung by the people.
The speech of the governor does not
refer to the political situation, but he
said that relations between cape col
ony and the states. colonies and terri
tories of South Africa were friendly.

there is none at Cape Nome"
j. w. Barrie, another of the Alliance
passengers, claims to have come from
Cape Nome, and brings discouraging
reports of the wealth of that district
He claims to have been in that country
about a year and says he saw no pay
ing claims.
Captain Walker, in command Of the
troops at st. Michael. has sent a de-
tail of 10 men under Lieutenant Spaud-
ing to Cape Nome to preserve order.
The Alliance had 1876 passengers,
most of whom were from Dawson City.
Purser Shaw states that he only had
about $4,000 worth of gold dust turned
over to him.
The Alliance brought a consignment
of whalebone from Dutch harbor,
which had been landed by one of the
New Bedford whaling feet.

statement, which is believed to be ac-

Business in financial circles is con-
siderably checked, owing to certain
anxiety in all quarters. the scarcity Of

UNANIMOUSLY ELECTED.
j. S. Kennedy Is Now a Director of the
Northern Pacific.

New York, July 4.-John s. Kennedy,
who is director and large owner in
the Great Northern Railroad company,
as well as in numerous other financial
institutions and enterprises, was unani-
mously elected a director of the North
ern Pacific company at meeting of the
board held on Wednesday. He takes
the place vacated by the death of John
G.. Moore, who in the latter years of his
life was intimately associated with
James G. Hill. the president of the
Great Northern, in his railway opera
tions. The succession of Mr.. Kennedy
to Mr. Moore's place on the board is
thus to be regarded as merely continu-
ing the Hill representations in the
Northern Pacific directory. Friends of
both these transcontinental properties
said to-day that the election of MI
Kennedy possesses no such sweeping
significance as that attributed to it in
a sensational report published to-day.
