Great Falls, Nov. 27.-Robert Collins,
since July an employe of the Neihart
concentrator, has been arrested at that
place by Deputy Sheriff Leadbetter on
suspicion of having been implicated in
the Great Northern hold-up at Wagner
July 3.
From descriptions and photos he Is al
legged to be recognized as o. c. Hanks,
alias Charley Jones, alias Deaf Char
ley" the partner of kid" Curry, Harry
Longhaugh and George Parker.
While he has denied his identity, he Is
said to have told of his participation III
the affair; to have said that the robbery
was planned in Great Falls, and that at
this time he has $1260O of the stolen
money cached somewhere near Malta.
Corresponds to Description.
In nearly every particular, even to GER
tain scars on the body, the prisoner cor
responds to the description of Hanks.
The prisoner was trapped into telling
Of his alleged connection with the rob-
berry about three weeks ago, when he
was taken sick and compelled to quit
work. A man whom Leadbetter selected
gained the confidence of Collins and te
him the prisoner is said to have mad,
admissions on which the arrest wa
made. When confronted with the crime
yesterday he remarked:
"Well that Is what I get for making
a confident of friend"
Prior to the time of the arrest of Long
baugh at st. Louis Collins had been al
work at the concentrator. The day OF
the arrest he exhibited great nervous
ness, which was noticed by his COM
panions, and as he steadily grew worse
he was ordered to lay off.
Asks for Papers.
He daily asked for the papers, care
fully scanning them over for news OF
Longbaugh, and his nervousness in
creased. A physician was summoned
who administered hypodermic injections
Collins then relapsed into delirium, II
which he raved, saying ''Longbaugh
Longbaugh, where did I meet you? Oh
yes, l know!"

Be Mace in Six Days.
(By Associate.

10Y AoSOCIdtC0 ICSS.I
Seattle, Nov. 27.-Special advices from
Nome state that Captain Hensen of the
Northern Commercial company has in
augurated plan whereby that place
can communicate with the outside world
in six days time, and whereby a return
message from any portion of the globe
can be obtained inside Of two weeks.
This plan embraces telegraph COM
munication with only one break in tho
line, which will be covered by fast dog
teams.
The Nome cable runs to st. Michael.
and from that point an overland wire
runs to Tanana. There the break COM
mences. This extends to Eagle. where
the wire again extends to Dawson.
Thence the line runs through the United
States and to Canada.
Captain Hansen has rendered to the
people of Nome the free use of the cable
between that point and st. Michael, 50
that the only expense of wiring to the
outside will be the government tolls over
the overland wire.
When the line Is completed the first
two messages will be flashed over it by
Captain Hansen, one to Europe and the
other to Seattle.

NEW PHASE PRESENTED IN THE

TRAlNMEN WANT MORE PAY.
Important Conference Between Grand

NO Additional Strikers-Pri-

(By Associated Press.)
Pfttsburg. NOv 27.-While there were
no additional strikers to the switchmen
this morning. the situation was more
serious. p. H. Morrissey, grandmaster
OF the Brotherhood of Trainmen and
Valentine Fitzpatrick arrived In Pitts
burg early today and are in consulta-
4ion with w. G. Lee, first vice grand
master of the trainmen's union.
The results Of this meeting, 1t is said,
will be of more Importance than this
trouble. 1t is reported that the brother
hood is preparing a uniform scale for
a general increase Of wages for presenta-
ton to all the railroads entering this
city and the consultation now in prog
ress will determine when this scale Is
to be presented.
w. G. Lee stated that the scale will
be presented in due time but not likely
before the settlement of the present
trouble.
ut would be folly" said he, "for us to
put gun to the faces of the officials
now and ask for a raise in salary. After
a certain time has elapsed we will make
our demands known. 1 do not know with
what success the switchmen will meet,
but do know that we will not aid them
as we do not believe in sympathetic
strikes
Some OF the striking switchmen from
the Monongahela connecting road en-
tered the Glenwood yards of the Balti-
more & Ohio shortly after midnight and
chased the switchmen who were at work
there from the yards. Officers are now
on duty at that point and no further
trouble Is apprehended.
Reports received from the various rail-
roads today indicate that SO far as the
strike Is concerned it has not greatly
anterfered with the traffic, except on
almost completely tied up. According
to the railroad officials over 200 men are
out, but the switchmen claim there are
at least twice that number.
At MarshalIs foundry, the Park Steel
plant and Schoenberger's. the manage
ment has conceded to the men the Chi
cago scale. They are private switch
men, but went out in sympathy with
the strikers.
The Marshall Foundry and Construc-
tion company closed down this morning,
owing to its failure to get coal from the
Allegheny Valley road. Other plants
will have to shut down this afternoon
unless fuel can be brought in.
F. Thawley grandmother Of the
Switchmen of North America, will arrive
from Denver this evening, and will take
supreme charge Of the strike. J. D.
Hodges, vice grandmaster, will preside
at secret meeting Of the strikers this
afternoon, at which steps will be taken
for the betterdng of the organization.

Washington, Nov. 2Z-The wants Of
Alaska, as summarized in the recOmmen-
dations made in the annual report Of
Governor Brady, are extensions to
Alaska Of all the federal land laws, sur
veys Of the lands for immediate settle
ment: delegate in congress without ter
ritorial organization; a cable between
Alaska and the United States; represent
tation at the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition in 1908; the appointment Of a COM
Smissioner Of mining, and enactment of
a game law for the district.
Governor Brady says the agitation for
territorial form of government has
gained very little headway with those
who have any property to tax. S.
In the Cape Nome gold fields the uncer-
tainty in the execution Of the laws by
the court has led to the refusal of many
persons to develop their claims and to
capitalists Withholding their investments
on account of this fear of insecurity.

PRAISES Captain BARNEsoN.
Representative Mercer Exhonerates
Wrecked Sheridan Skipper.


San Francisco, Nov. 27.-Among the
passengers Of the steamer Goric, re-
leased from quarantine, were Repre-
sentatives> Mercer, Peck, Gaines and
Green. These gentlemen have been in
the Philippines and will report on the
condition Of affairs there at the next
meeting of congress. They were on the
Sheridan when she got into trouble and
were transferred to the Warren. When
that vessel went ashore they thought
the end of the world had come. Rep
resentative Mercer said:
"The Warren was in charge of the
pilot when the accident happened and
had It not been for the presence of
mind on the part of Barneson, I don't
know where we could have landed. AS
It was the transport struck with a
force that brought us all up, stand
ing.
"A japanese steamship was making
the passage through the Inland sea at
the same time we were. She kept
crowding us and In spite of danger
signals and all kinds Of blasts, took no
notice but held on her way.
Finally it came to a question Of going
ashore or going full speed ahead and
making rush to get through.
"Then the captain took charge Of the
snip dHus accepting the cnanceS, maze
q rush to get of the lee shore. He
succeeded, but the vessel struck a sub
merged rock and a small hole was
knocked in the hull. In addition sew
eral plates were loosened.
1.-THE pilot wanted to take her to the
nearest port. but Captain Barneson knew
his ship and carried her to Kobe. where
repairs could be made. The pumps were
kept going during the run, but at no
time was there any danger.
''There was no trouble at all in the
navigation of the Warren and think
both master and pilot were blameless.
Furthermore, I think Captain Barneson
acted like a skilled seaman and I don't
think anybody in our merchant marine
wants anything better than that said
about him. It was an unavoidable acci-
dent, due to the crowding Of the Japan
ese steamer, but nevertheless we had a
lucky escape"
