Col. WASH JOHNSTON and Post
master L. S. Ebright, as members of
the Committee on Resolutions,
wrote the famous plank in last years
Republican platform demanding
reduction of the exorbitant fees and
salaries paid Summit county's
officers. No wonder Senator Alex
ander was undone. With two such
uncompromising advocates of reform
and lower salaries (for the other fell
lows as Johnston and Ebright

there for Park to do but believe that
the salary reduction plank meant
something, every word of it?

Bottle Champagne-Eviden
OF Handwriting Expert
Finished

New York, Dec. 13.-In the trial of
murder of Kate ]. Adams, the evidence
of Handwriting Expert William Kins-
ley was concluded The proceedings
were enlivened by the appearance as a
witness of Robert S. Holt, flour mer-
chant. 1t was during the examinatio
of this witness that the name of the
wife Of Molineux was dragged into the
trial for the first time. Mr.. Holt had
testified that the late Henry c. Barnet,
who died at the Knickerbocker club
about a year ago, was also connected
with the firm of Holt & Co., had iden-
titled certain letters as being in the
handwriting of the deceased, and upon
cross examination had testified that a
lady from out of town had called upon
him at his Lexington avenue residence
some time in November.
The object of this line of cross-ques-
tioning evidently puzzled Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne, for he immedi-
the witness about Mrs. Mollneux. Mr..
Holt said that he had known her when
she was Blanche Chesbrough; that he
had met her several times at the Knick-
erbocker club. In reply to Mr.. Os-
borne's questions, the witness testified
that on one occasion he had been in
Barnets room at the club when Miss
Chesbrough was there. The witness,
Barnet, Miss Chesbrough and another
woman had been attending an enter
tainment at the club and had visited
Barnet's room.
Barnet and Miss Cheshrough remain
ed in the rooms alone together. The
witness emembered that there was part

BELOW TIDE WATER.
An Important Decision by Commissioner
Hermann.


Hermann.
Washington Dec. ia very important
question has just been decided by Com
missioner Hermann of the general land
office governing placer mining upon the
beach of the Boring sea. off the coast Of
Alaska, at and near Cape Nome, the new
gold fields. The decision affects mining
and localities embracing tide lands below
the line of ordinary high tide. Numerous
applications are pending before the in
terror department as to locations upon
such lands. which have been demonstra-
ted to contain gold in marvellous quantl-
ties. Individuals or associations or per-
sons and incorporated mining companies
are seeking concessions from the govern
ment by which they may acquire eXclu-
sve mining rights and privileges pertain
ing to such tide lands.
The commissioner decides that tide
lands in the district of Alaska are not
public lands subject to disposal to irdi-
viduals under any of the existing land
laws of the United States, and that the
department has no statutory authority
to make concessions to individuals of any
mining rights pertaining to such tide
lands
A citation is made by the commissioner
of the case of shiveley VS.. Boalby, de-
cided by the United States supreme court,
in which 1t was held that the United
States upon acquiring territory, wheth-
er by cession from one Of the states or by
treaty with a foreign country, or by
discovery and settlement. takes tho title
and the dominion of lands below high
water mark of tide waters for the benefit
of the whole people in trust for future
states to be created out of the territory,
and it will be further held that congress
has not undertaken, by general laws, tic
dispose of lands below high water mark
of tide waters in a territory, but, unless
in case of some International duty or pub.
lie exgencv, has left the administration
and disposition of the sovereign rights in
such waters and lands to the control OF
the states respectively when admitted into
the union,

ance of John Davies and was accompa-
MED by State Mine Inspector Owen,

done was in the main gangway, where
Reese Jones body was found, although
the supposed cause of the accident, old
man Zedlers open lamp, was found in
the fourth cross-cut above and II
chutes further inward.
So little damage was apparent where
the open lamp was discovered late
Monday night and SO much at the cave
in where Jones body was discovered,

ing at the inquest.

tatives of local civic orders was called
at the suggestion of w. G. Armstrong.

systematic assistance for widows and
