o'clock. Rozier is being held to answer
to the charge of raising money orders in
San Francisco in February. When arrest
ed. he insisted that he had not been in
San Francisco and that he had been in
San Francisco ever since last fall. He was
arrested here once before on a similar
charge, the scene of his alleged opera
tons being Seattle. The witnesses were
not positive at that time that he was the
man wanted and he was turned loose.
He gives his occupation as that of a
salesman and his age 81 years. He is being
held for further identification and the
officers think there is no question that
he is the man wanted and that he will be
sent to San Francisco to answer to the
charge.

tore down the sidewalk between Cherry
and James streets. He suffered severe
pains last night from the effect of in-
juries to his chest and stomach.
The runaway horse from hose wagon
No. 2 when near the Bailey building, took
to the sidewalk, which was crowded with
people. Sparks flew from the hoofs of
the horse as he struck the concrete walk.
Shrieking people fled from the sidewalk
into the street or hurled themselves into
open doorWays. Women and men were
tossed about by the crowd and thrown
out of danger by the very madness of the
rush of those behind them. A pathway
was cleared almost instantly down the
entire length of the street, and down this
the frightened horse ran. 1t was during

The fire that caused the series of acci-
dents resulted from the effort OF the con-
tractors tearing down the row of buildings
at Second and Cherry to destroy the
debris. There has been fire burning at
this corner since the first building was
razed, but last night the blaze got beyond
control and threatened adjoining property.
A call for the fire department was sent
in about 9 o'clock, at an hour when the
streets were thronged and the fire at
tracted large crowd.
One of the horses on hose wagon No. ?,
which fell down and was primarily the
cause of the runaway, was so badly in
jured that it may have to be killed. None
of the firemen were hurt.

ALASKA NEEDS
BETTER LAWS

DAWSON, April 2.-Heavy mining pro
Inoters. lawyers, business men and others
of the Klondike, who have visited London
and Paris this winter, bring back import
ant reports as to the reason why no share
of the millions of capital there idle and
seeking investment has come into the
Kondike the last two or three years
Lack of permanent title to property under
the Canadian flag. particularly in the Yu-
kon. is the cardinal reason. Men who
have been in touch with the financial cen
ters of France and England all winter, in
behalf of big Northern enterprises, give
dispassionate reports to this. effect, and
point out need of great reform in govern
ment regulations here.
What the Klondike needs more than
ANYTHING else are more stable laws that
will give security to title and interests Of
all kinds that capital may require. Then
the camp may be expected to 60 forward
with far better strides than in the past,
The situation here gradually ia evolving,
and operations on a heavy scale are be
coming the necessary means for profitable
working of the placers.
A new strike that promises much was
made on Pedro recently. The bench claims
on Tanana are pannina out well and on
Hoo.ier creek many rich strikes are re-
ported.

The Inmachuck river, Judging from pres

Ophir and other famous creeks of Seward
peninsula. On a stretch of ten miles be-
ginning at point fifteen miles from salt
water, there are twelve thawers in opera

eyes of the mining world.
There is nothing on this stream to
Justify stampede from outside districts.
The river was first staked three years
ago. and all available ground is taken and
in undisputed possession Of present owners.
Provisions are scarcely sufficient TO carry
the present population through until the
boats arrive next spring. Any further in

OFFICERS CARRIED HIM

Joseph Marks, the man from Orting who
was yesterday tried for insanity, was TAX
en- out to the asylum this morning. Marks
has been heavy drinker for years and
his mental condition was brought about
by the excessive use of alcoholic liquors
This morning he was suffering from rheum-
atism so that he could not walk and the
officers were obliged to carry him to the
hack. If the man had not needed medical
assistance it is probable that he would
have been kept in the Jail until the effects
of the intoxicants had worn off, and then
dismissed if he appeared sane, but the pres
ence of other Affections besides an unbal.
anced mind determined the officers to re-
move him TO the asylum.

shortly thereafter went into a committee
of the whole to take up the matter.
Past Supreme Master j. q. Tate adj
dressed the meeting at length and en-.
deavored TO reconcile the members to the
idea that readjustment Of rates was an
absolute necessity at this time, and the
principal speaker who took the opposite
view was the newly elected grand master
workman, e. Steinbach Of Tacoma.
Both men are good takers, and presented
their views clearly and without undue
verbiaqe but despite the fact that the
subject was made clear from both sides, it
was decided that the subject WAS one of
such Importance that it should be decided
only after mature consideration. 1t was
taken up again at todays meeting, and Il
necessary session will be held tonight
before bringing the question to a vote.
