A COOL COUNTRY
Alaskan Coast About Teller City
Still Surrounded By
Heavy Ice.

Seattle, July 2-Teller City, the
metropolis of the Blue Stone dis
trict, was still ice locked when the
steamships Senator and Centennial
sailed from Nome. The steam schoon-
Ell Elk City, the Centennial's officers
report, left Nome June 10 for Teller,
but returned two days later, having
failed to reach her destination. She
got within 20 miles of Teller and
landed all her freight and passengers
on the ice on a spit. The passengers,
about two dozen of them, at once laid
out a town site and called it Elk. The
ice is reported still very heavy
around that section with the appear
ance of being firm enough to remain
there several weeks.

CONSIDERS IT WON
President O'Connell Says Strike of
Machinists Has Been
Successful.

Washington, July 2-President
O'Connell Of the International asso-
citation of Machinists said today that
he regarded the machinists' strike as
practically won.
Given if an order should be issued
at this time directing all men out to
return to work on the old basis. the
nine hour day would be won," he
said. Continuing, he said: ''The
movement has been attended with
every success and in many respects
is the most remarkable struggle on
record. There are now only 5000
men out and agreements are being
signed every day reducing this num-
Der. ~
1T has not been a strike. It has
been simply a cessation Of work. A
strike to the mind Of the public
means riot and bloodshed. The ma
chinists have had none of these. It
is true, there have been One or two
cases of assault, but these are liable
to occur at any time and cannot be
charged to the machinists."
The first financial aid to be receiv-
ed by the machinists since their
strike began was accepted today by
President O'Connell, in the form of
a check for $4,000 from the American
Federation of Labor.

July 2 in the history Of the local
weather bureau and a day that al
most reached the city's record of
September Z, 1881, that this scant re.
lief came.
The morning opened with the tenn
perature at SO at 6 a. m. In an hour
it had gone to 81, and in another
hour had climbed a point Tighter,
jumping all the way to SO by 9
o'clock. The wind was scarcely per
ceptible and the humidity, which was
50 per cent aggravated the condi-
ton. Then the mercury kept on
climbing, registering IS at 10 o'clock
and going up a point an hour until
it reached SO in the hour between IL
and l and stayed there until after
8 O'Clock. The humidity, however,
had fallen to Al per cent. The suffer.
ing caused by the heat was unprece-
dented. All the ambulances in the
city, as we'll as the patrol wagons
and many other vehicles we're kept
busy answering calls. At the rate
of about n a minute, the calls came
in Owe the police wires through the
day, breaking all records of the de-
mands upon the ambulance service
and providing patients enough to
crowd all the hospitals of the city
as they never were crowded. While
the official temperature in the lofty
tower of the weather bureau remain
ed at SO, the temperature on the
street level ranged all the way from
100 to 1O6. The terrible fatal nature
of the heat was shown in the large
percentage of deaths among those
Frustrated. OF the 218 cases of pros
tration reported up to II o'clock to-
night IT'S resulted fatally. Among
the more prominent victims were

Ice Wagon Horses succumb to Hot

Pittsburg, July 2-While the max

of the long continued torrid weather

only out of town victim was Charles
Henry of Lexington Bay. He was a
prominent Elk, and was here on a
visit. He was found unconscious in
a closet in a bank and died. shortly
after reaching the hospital.
All of the fatalities are probably
known to the authorities, but the
prostrations have been so numerous
that it is hardly possible to keep
track of them. Beginning at 8
O'Clock this morning the thermome.
ter registered SO degrees, and at no
time during the day did it go below
that point. At 4:3O p. m. it stood at
"a, the maximum, and gradually re-
coded till II p. M, when it registered
IS.
These are the government figures
and hardly approach the marks on
reliable instruments on the street

So many horses have succumbed

lost Sc horses, while others suffered

CORNELL WINS INTER-COELEG-
late BOAT RACE.
ALSO BAGS VARSITY FOUR
Columbia from Last Moves Up to
Second W
Is Third.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 2-The
intercollegiate boat races over the
Hudson river course were decided to-
day as follows:
Varsity eight-Connell first, time
1858 1-5; Columbia second, time
1888; Wisconsin third, time 1906
4-5; Georgetown fourth, time 1921.
The best previous record for var
sity Fights was 1874 So.
No time was taken for Syracuse
and Pennsylvania, who were many
lengths behind.
In the varsity four, Cornell was
first. Time 11:39 3-5; Pennsylvania
second, time HAS 2-5; Columbia
third, time 11:51 3-5. The best pre-
vious record for this distance was
1921 3-5.
In the freshmen race Pennsylvania
was first, time 1920 2-5; Cornell
second, time 1928; Columbia third,
time 1896 Is; Syracuse fourth, time
1914. The previous record for fresh
men eight for this distance was 9:19.
The first crews in the varsity eight
rowed the following strokes during
the race:
Cornell-First mile, "a; second
mile, IS; third mile, 35; fourth mile,
So.
Columbia-First mile 35; second
mile, 3s; third mile, 81; fourth mile,
81.
Wisconsin-First mile, 35; second
mile, 35; third mile, 81; fourth mile,
81.
Not only was a new record for var
sity Fights made, but what is more
remarkable, the four leading crews
in the race each broke the old rec
ord by many seconds.
The race vas rowed in water that
was phenomenally advantageous and
this helped the time. Still it did not
cen to assist the freshmen, who
rowed under almost the same condi-
tons.
The varsity race was the most ex-
citing of the day, although the other
two with much uncertainty over the
winner caused a furry. The fact
that Pennsylvania had been picked
as a sure winner of the four cared
event, but that Cornell beat her cas-.
lily, whetted the appetite of the thou
sands upon the shore and observa-
ton train for the other contests.
The phenomenal feature of the races
is that had not the Cornell freshmen
a broken in the last half mile,
Cornell would then have had three
victories to her credit. Columbia is
happy tonight, for her oarsmen have
gone up from very last place, to
second place in a six handed contest,
after giving the winners a hard fight.
Georgetown, a new rival for honors
and to whom little attention had
been paid, got inside the time record,
and hung onto the leaders with a
tenacity that surprised everybody.
Pennsylvania was never in the race
with its second crew, and Syracuse
with its very light oarsmen, was out
classed. The. varsity race was one
of the fercest struggles ever wit
messed in college aquatics and had
any n of the crews in the lead fail
ed because Of physical weakness the
tail enders were ready to take its
place, and make good time at that.
AS it was, although the race was m
of the s%everest ever rowed, there was
not a sign of distress in any boat.

cherish and respect and take each

a few weeks or months tear their COW
enants into pieces and fling them to the
winds for the frivolous reasons that the
husband did not take her out riding
Or another did not get up early in the
morning.
The safety of the American home
depends upon the recognition of funda-
mental principles; that marriage is a
divine ordinance brought into hu-
man society; that husbands and wives
are not merely partners who can break
the partnership at will. The marriage
bond is not only forricher or poorer, for
health or sickness, but for better or
worse. They fly for refuge from con-
nubial infelicity to the divorce courts.
That is not the remedy. 1t is a long
suffering Iove; the remedy is not in
separation, but in closer union. 1t is
the spirit of discomfort that seeks to
make separations. 1t is the spirit of
suspicion, not of truth, the discourage
ment, and not hope, that makes -sepa-
rations. The love that trusts, and when
it can no longer trust. still hopes. and
when it cannot longer hope. still en-
dures; the love which is like, the love
of Christ which nothing can destroy,

THE ORIENTAL
FIRE CLAIMS
Governor Dole May Ask the
Legislature to Pay
Them.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-It is ex-
pected that Governor Dole of Hawaii
will make recommendation to the
Hawaiian Legislature, which meets in
February, for the settlement of the
Claims of Chinese and Japanese grow
ing out of the destruction Of their
property at Honolulu at the time of
the bubonic plague outbreak. 1t ap-
pears that the Chinese claims are less
than was at first estimated and that
the total of the Japanese and Chinese
claims is approximately s1,S00,0O0.
The Chinese Government has not
been in a condition OF late to exert
pressure in behalf OF the claims of it's
citizens, but the Japanese authorities
have been actively looking out for the
losses sustained by their countrymen
and now seem to be in a fair way of
securing partial remuneration. Gov
ernor Dole suggested some time ago
that the matter be referred to the Ha-
waiian Legislature, and this was ap-
proved by the officials here as the best
means of adjustment. 1t is probable,
however, that Governor Dole's recon-
mendation will be considerably below
the face value of the claims. There ap-
pears to be little doubt that the Legis-
lature will authorize a settlement.

HAZ|NG
OF BOOz
Commandant 0. |. Helm
Iestifes.
CADET At ALL MEALS
Hazing is Traditional at the Academy
and thought Well of By
Many.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Dec. 29.-Lieu-
tenant Colonel Otto L. Helm. Comn,an-
dant at the United States Military
Academy, was the. first witness called
today to testify before the Court of
Inquiry appointed to investigate the al
legations of brutal hazing of cadets.
Col. Helm produced the Superinten-
dents sick reports, which showed that
Cadet Booz had only reported sick once
while he was at the academy. He was
excused on that occasion from drill, as
he was suffering from an acute attack
of diarrhoea. The records made it
clear that BooZ had never been absent
from a meal while he was a cadet at
West Point.
An extract from the records was read
by the witness, who said Cadet Booz
had availed himself of the Saturday
evening privileges of going anywhere
within the reservation on Saturday,
August 6, the day of the Booz- Keller
fight. Booz reported his going away
at 1:5S p. m. and his returning at 3:1S
p. m. In reply to General Clous, the
witness said that in the summer of 1899,
brutal hazing of Cadets Macarthur and
Haskell came to the knowledge of the
academy officials An investigation was
ordered, but no inforna-
tion as to the facts could be elected
from any of those examined, among
whom We're MaeArthur and Haskell.
The regulations prohibiting hazing pro-
vided punishment for hazers and hazed
sl1
by the fourth class men in 1899, among
whom were Cadets Macarthur and
Grant, not to submit to hazing, COL
Helm said:
II called the class together Git was a
very large one) and explained to them
the rules and regulations prohibiting
hazing. I told them if they would agree
not to submit to hazing and promise
not to haze anyone themselves they
would rid the academy of a foul blot
on it's reputation. Soon afterwards
they appealed to me to be released from
this agreement, but I refused.
II also heard continued the wit
ness, that candidates preparing at
Highland Falls were being hazed and I
made an investigation, the outcome of
which was the severe furnishing of the
guilty cadets
The remainder of the commandant's
testimony was merely an explanation of
the actions of the authorities and the
measures taken by them to suppress
hazing at the academy. The punish
ments were increased and the number
of cadets found guilty of violations of
the regulations in 1899 were greatly in
excess of the previous year. Speaking
generally of hazing, Col. Helm said:
'fHazing is traditional and I am sorry
to say is thought by persons inside as
well as outside of the academy to be
commendable, and as long as students
hear it, spoken of in this way it will
be impossible for the authorities to
stamp it out"

BUYS a PACIFIC ISLE.
The Government Acquires Private
Property at Guam.

NEW YORK, Dec. Secretary
Long has purchased for the United
States Government another Pacific IS
land, ayers the Washington correspon-
dent of the Herald.
This island is under the American
flag and lies in the harbor of San Luis
d'Apra, Guam. 1t is proposed to use
1T as site for coaling station The
price paid for the island was 5000 in
American gold. 1t is 130 acres in ex-
tent, is healthy and, it is believed, will
make an admirable site for the pro-
posed station.
The island was owned by several
prominent natives of Guam, who, Off
cials say, will live in affluence as a re-
suit of the sale.
