the boys father, has been on trial I'm
the appellate division of the supreme
court here.
Evidence was submitted that the boy
acted like a girl, and could not even
spin top. This was said to be due to
the teachings of his stepmother, who
sought to inculcate in his mind that lie
wasn't to have things other boys want
ed. When he expressed a desire for
a cannon it caused the two brass salut-
ing pieces on the Foiles' yacht to be
thrown overheard. Mr.. Foiles testified
that he considered this a good way 10

Copper Mining company, and general

orders to shut down all the Anal

elsewhere, declaring that the company
was unable to secure judicial fairness

LEGISLATION FOR
ALASKA IS NEAR
Will Have a Delegate in Con.
gress ifNot Territorial Form
of Government.
Globe Special Washington Service,
fI1z -


WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 10.-A
stronger effort than ever before will
be made at the coming regular session
of congress to enact important legisla-
ton for Alaska. When President
Roosevelt recommended in his annual
message year ago that a commits
sion or committee of congress be ap-
pointed to visit Alaska with a view to
studying it's needs, he knew that this
was but the beginning of his earnest
work on behalf of the territory. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is honestly committed
to do all in his power to secure the
betterment of conditions in Alaska by
needed enactments.
In accordance with the wishes of the
president, a subcommittee of the SEN
ate committee on territories visited
Alaska last summer. The senators saw
and heard enough to make them en-
thuSiaStic friends of the territory.
These senators will make long report
to the full committee, and some meas
ure or measures of legislation will, as
result, undoubtedly be reported to
the senate from the full committee on
territories.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, is one
securing wise legislation for Alaska
The only difference of opinion between
him and his colleagues is as to what is
wise. Not all the members of the ter
ritories committee, by any means, are
in favor of a territorial form of gov
ernment for Alaska. Some of them are.
All of them believe Alaska should have
delegate in the national house of
representatives. 1t is almost a safe
prediction to say that the senate will
pass bill allowing Alaska delegate
in congress and probably the house will
follow suit. In fact it is possible that
the measure will originate in the house
which might be regarded as more
appropriate from the fact that the pro-
posed measure affects the membership
of that body and not that of the SEN
ate.
Representative Jones, of Washing
ton, has already introduced bill pro-
viding for a territorial form of govern
ment for Alaska. He also provides in
his bill for the election of three dele
gates. Said Mr.. Jones in explanation of
the measure recently:
"One delegate could only attend to
the needs of one district in Alaska, and
he could not possibly know all the ne
ceSSitieS of the territory, general and
varied as they are
Mr.. Jones thinks that 1t would be
difficult to hold an election, as COM
pared with elections in many of the
states and territories, but he does not
regard this as an insurmountable OBJ
stacle.
There will be bill this winter to
establish government salmon hatch-
cries in Alaska. A strong report on this
subject was made by the special COM
mission Of experts who visited the ter
ritory, and the president is strongly in
favor of the establishment OF means,
under federal auspices, to save the fish
supply from depletion.

HUNTERS ARE LOST
Five Ohio Men Disappear in
Wisconsin Woods.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 10.-Dis-
patches tonight from Florence, a little
mining village in the center of the
widest part of Wisconsin. tell of the
disappearance two weeks ago Of
party of five Ohioans. The men came
into the village with their guns and
tents and left at once for the woods
without a guide. Since then nothing
has been heard of them, and as they
did not return, searching parties have
been sent out In all directions to find
some trace of the men. They did not
give their names when here, but after
a meal at the hotel. where they did not
register, buried themselves in the will
derness.
II would be impossible for any but
an experienced woodsman to get
through the country which separates
Florence from any other town on the
Menominee range.

GETS STEEL TRUST
Rockefeller Is Said to Have
Acquired Control.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. TO-
Cleveland financiers, who are more
than likely to be on the inside, believe
that John D. Rockefeller now controls
or will soon control the United States
Steel corporation. Brokers say they
can see in the retrenchment plans now
under way the hand and methods Of
the oil king. The transfer of 234,000
shares of steel preferred last week and
the buying by Jungbluths of the COM
mon stock daily, are said to have been
almost wholly for Rockefeller account,
the common being secured for voting
purposes and the preferred as an in
vestment.
There is no doubt that Rockefeller's
influence caused the change in the
dividend policy and the concentration
plans now being carried out, which are
likely to end in H. c. Frick being placed
at the head of the big trust all show
the hand Of the Standard oil magnate.

WILL ROAST TEDDY
But Democrats in Congress
Are Divided as to Panama.
Globe Special Washington Service,
1714 G Street

1714 9 Street.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1O.-The
Democrats in congress are divided on
the question Of instituting a campaign
of criticism against the administra-
TONS Panama policy. Many of the
most patriotic members of the party
deprecate the haste which character
lied the administrations action in rec
ognizing the provisional government of
the so-called republic of Panama, and
others accuse the president and the
state department of resorting to SUBJ
terfuge and incitation Of revolution.
Senator Morgan will, of course, attack
the administration bitterly in the SEN
ate, for he is as strong a partisan as
ever of the Nicarauga route for the
canal and a relentless foe Of the
Panama project. He declares that the
government of the United States has
done a shameful thing and reiterates
his statement that the administration
has committed an act of war against
the government of Colombia.
There are Democrats in both
branches of congress, however, who
take the view expressed by Senator
Hanna today, when he declared earn
estly that the proposed Panama canal

Red Lake Reservation.

= CROOKSTON, Mimi, Nov. TO-
Promptly on the stroke of 9 o'clock this
morning, the work of filing on the lands
thrown open for settlement on the Red
Lake reservation was begun at the
local United States land office. At an
early hour the large numbers of men
who had spent the night in the adjoin-
ing offices on the same floor formed a
line, but as no line had been allowed,
little was gained by this early line
forming, for the first entry was made
by woman who did not "line UP" un-
til 6 o'clock. Another one of the first to
make entry was a woman, who did not
get into line until 1880.
BY 8 o'clock there were at least 200
people, who formed dense mass in
the hall in front of the door of the land
office, extended down the stairs to the
ground floor and filled the hall there.
Others We're grouped about the ada
cent streets. 1t is probable that there
were 500 people in the city to make en-
tries. AS the hands of the office clock
pointed to the hour Register Peterson
gave the sign and Receiver A. F..
George, assisted by two gigantic police
men and Mayor Hitchcock, attempted
to open the door, but the mass of hu-
manity Surging on the other side made
this difficult.
At last the bolt was shot and the
door swung open, injecting a solid
mass of humanity against the four stall
wart men, who were borne back in
spite Of the policemen. First a man
stumbled, free of the struggling crowd
and staggered into the room, but before
he could gather his wits together a
school teacher from Elk River, Mimi,
Miss Gustava B. Anderson, darted past
him and hurried to the long desk. Clerk
Maurice Malone checked her filings of
the official plat, Receiver George took
her $14, Clerk Montague entered the
papers on the records, Register Peter
son administered the oath, and she had
filed on the first homestead. Her claim
is in section SO, the southeast quarter
of township 14S, range 81, eight miles
northeast of Bagley.
The second filing was made by Will
liam B. Kraig, of Baudette, on piece
of land near that town. The third was
by George Duval, of the same place.
Percy F. Roberts, also of Baudette,
completed the first quartette to file.
At each opening of the door men and
women were elected into the room, and
the same Struggle enSued each time
with the hundreds without who were
seeking entrance to the room. During
the first hour forty-two entries We're
made, thirty-six by men and eight by
women. Out of the 168 entries today
only fourteen were made by women,
all of whom fled the first two hours.
Dudley Qvale, of Baudette, discov-
cred that his quarter had already been
filed upon. He alleges that he had
lived on his farm seven years, and had
made many improvements, while the
man who successfully filed on the land
was a Canadian who had not been in
the country sM months, while Qvale
was in North Dakota threshing and his
family on the land. This is-but one of
many such incidents.
