the vanity of humankind than / could be-

game, for example. That one was exposed
in San Francisco last year, when two of
its operators were on the point of having
their hair cut, after having been sentenced
to San Quentin, when they got loose on
some sort of a technicality.
THE workers of this dodge professed to

Judge Wickersham Decides Status
of Native Aiaskans.
Washington, June 14.--Information
has been received here of an important
opinion rendered by Judge James
Wickerstham, of the Third Alaska dis
trict. This opinion holds that MEM
bers of settled Alaska native tribes
and Russian half breeds from the
mouth of the Copper river to the Aleu-
tian islands are American citizens I'M
der treaty with Russia.
The details of the opinion are not
yet known here, but it is recognized
that this ruling, if it finally holds, will
permit the natives concerned to take
up mining claims and exercise other
rights as property holders in the terri
tory.
1t is probable that the decision will
sooner or later be tested by an appeal
to the higher courts. Judge Wicker
sham has been investigating this ques-
ton for long time, and made some
researches when he was in Washing
ton last winter

BEFORE U. S. COURT.
Judge Thayer Orders Colorado
Officials to Produce Meyer.
Latter Released.

St. Louis, June 16.-United States
District Judge Thayer, sitting in cham.
bers, yesterday granted writ of ha-
beas corpus to have Charles H. Meyer,
president of the Western Federation OF
Miners, brought before him on July s.
The writ is directed against Gov. Pea.
body, of Colorado; Adjt. Gen. Bell
and Capt. Buckley Wells, of the Col.
orado national guard.
The three have been cited to appear
with Meyer and show cause why Meyer
is being restrained of his liberty by be
ing confined in stockade, or better
known as 'the bullpen,' at Telluride,
Colo.
Yesterday Attorneys Hawkins and
Richardson, of Denver, arrived in st.
Louis and went direct to the federal
building, where for more than three
hours they laid the case of Meyer be-
fore Judge Thayer.
Their arguments were that Meyer
was being held in the bullpen without
any law or authority, and was being
clusion of their arguments Judge
Thayer granted the writ asked for,
making it returnable July 5.
Denver, June 16.-GOv. Peabody
Yesterday issued an order declaring
martial law in San Miguel county at
an end, directing the release of troops
from duty, and instructing Capt.
Buckley Wells, in command OF the
troops, to turn over to the civil author
tiles President Charles H. Meyer, now
a prisoner in the bullpen at Telluride.
Gov. Peabody says these orders were
issued before he had any knowledge OF
the action before Judge Thayer, OF the
United States circuit court OF appeals
at st. Louis directing Meyer to be pro-
duced before him in st. Louis July D.
It is understood, however, that the
order did not go into effect in San Mig
uel county until O'Clock last night
when it was publicly read in Telluride
by Capt. Wells.

BARS EXPORT OF SALMON.
Dominion Government Issues Orde,
of Prohibition.

Deminion Government Issues Order
Prohibition.
Washington, June 16.-The follow.
ing dispatch, which is of greatest sig.
nificance to Gamers interests ON Puge,
Sound, has been received from John
It. Foster, the United States consul
general at Ottawa:
The Dominion government has or.
dered that the export for the purpose
of canning or manufacturing of fresh
salmon captured in trap nets in the
waters of British Columbia is prohib.
tied"
Ii, as seems likely, this regulation
practically prohibits the export of all
fresh salmon from British Colnmbia
to the state of Washington, it will be
hard blow to cannerymen ON the
Sound, who have depended to any
large extent ON supply of British
Columbia fish for their business.
Early in April last Senator Fulton,
of Oregon, hearing that such a regula.
ton as this was already in force in
Canada, proposed to introduce reso.
luton in congress to enact simila,
prohibition against the expectation of
fresh salmon from the United States To
British Columbia. Mr.. Fulton's ob.
ject was frankly one of retaliation
against the Canadians.
The secretary of state, however, al
Mr.. FultOn's suggestion, asked the
consul general to inquire at Ottawa as
to the exact form and purport of the
Canadian law. The reply came from
Ottawa that no such regulation was in
force. Thereupon the Fulton resolu.
ton was dropped.
1t now looks as if the Dominion
government waited until congress ad.
journed before putting the regulation
in force, so as to avoid the threatened
danger of retaliation ON the part of
the United States.

Secretary of Navy to Become Attor-

Washington, June l5.-The decision
was reached at yesterdays cabinet
meeting that Philander q. Knox shall
resign as attorney general upon the re-
ceipt of his appointment as senator
from Governor Pennypacker. He will
not wait until December, as was at
trst determined.
The president reached the conclu-
sion that it would be better for Mr..
Knox to promptly resign. His contin-
uance in Office during the campaign
would be unsatisfactory, and in addi-
ton Mr.. Knox can better participate
IN the campaign as senator than as at
torney general. The president has vir-
tually decided to make Mr.. Moody at
torney general if he can find salts
factory man for secretary of the navy.
representative Foss, of Illinois, and
Dayton, of West Virginia have been
mentioned for the pace. Mr.. Dayton
is ranking member of the house naval
affairs committee and Mr.. Foss is

Mexico.
Victor, Colo, June l5.-Thirty- six
more union men were deported yester-
day afternoon by the militia. The
men were residents of differtn Sec
tons of the district, but mainly lived
in Cripple Greek and Victor. The des-
tination of the exiles was given out
unofficially as New Mexico. A strong
guard of military will accompany the
men until they are finally released.
The men sent out in this batch are
nearly all union or union sympathiz-
ers. Quite number of them are mar
ried. Preparations are under way here
looking to the eventual abrogation of
martial law, which it is expected will
occur within week. A large num-
Der of deputy sheriffs will be commits
stoned to take charge of the district
under Sheriff Bells direction when
martial law is called off. Other de-
portations will be made, but just when
the next train load of men will be sent
out is not stated.

SEATTLE June 15.-After an absence

tho Kelley Clark Company, has re-
nod TO this city. His visit, he said,

bis way back he stopped over for sew
'raI DAYS at St. Louis to see the world 8
fair Mr.. Kelley ssys the best thing
no saw while away was the Washing
tor state building and exhibits in the
exposition grounds. Speaking of this
he says
Our building is undoubtedly the
most representative of any of those
erected by the several states. and at
tracts more general attention than any
# them. Many of the others are costly
and handsome structures, but they ex-
nress nothing else and are used mainly
fro retention rooms and the like, for
rho accommodation of visitors from
the home states.
Every Part Represented.
"Our building, on the other hand, is
both handsome and unique in appear
ance. ard everyone of its constituent
narts tells something Of the great state
il represents. The big 1O0-foot sticks
that support the framework are unend-
ing sources of establishment to the peO-
ple of other sections, and l heard many
of them inquiring of each other if they
were really single timbers or in some
way spliced together.
1.-The entire building is made of
Washington material and attractively
sets off the different varieties of our
timber. Even l, familiar as l thought
| was with our native woods, was sur
prised at the beautiful finish of which
some of them are susceptible, as shown
in this building, and / opened my eyes
wider at the splendid stairway built of
stone taken from Washington quarries.
In fact, all over the building there
was something to impress one with the
great resources of this state.
Location Is Commanding.
The structure has commanding
location, near the government fisheries
and the German buildings, and this
with its unique exterior at once catches
the eye of the visitor and holds it..
During my stay saw more people Wis
iting it than any other state building,
and the register shows they came from
every part of the country
In the main exhibition buildings,
Mr. Kelley says, other states make dis
plays of their products, and Washing
ton makes handsome showing in the
horticultural, agricultural, forestry
fisheries and game, and mines build
ings, but it alone shows these things
in its state building, not only in the
structure itself, but in all of its con-
tents. Every part of the state is rep
resented, and, so far as he could OBJ
serve, he says, none was neglected.
Mr.. Kelley believes it is the most val
liable advertisement the state ever had
and says too much praise cannot be
given Executive Commissioner John
son and his associates for the work
they have done.
