HONOR HIM Gov SwiuefOrd Given OVa-
 tion al Ketchikan

Ketchikan, Alaska, June 23.-(Spec- ial correspondence )-E4-Goy. Swine ford's home town gave him rousing send off in his race for delegate for the short term. Though rain had been falling in torrents for several days and the weather was altogether indictment, a larger exclusively male audience than was ever before assembled in Red Mems hall, turned out to do him honor and by their presence testify to the high regard in which they hold him as a tnan and fellow citizen The ketch- ikan brass band, which had volunteered for the occasion, contributed not little to the enthusiasm which prevailed throughout the entire evening, the large audierce rising as one man at the close of the proceedings and joining iu three rousing cheers and 8 tiger for the champion of home rule for the peo- pie of Alaska.
 The meeting was called to order by Chas N. Cosgrove Esq, who in few well chosen remarks, eulogistic ot Gov. Swineford, introduced Mayor F. J. Hunt, who had previously been selected as chairman of the meeting, and as such to present to the venerable gov ernor the numerously signed ketchlkan and Hadley petitions asking him to allow the use of his name as candl- date. The mayor made a most admir- able presiding officer, and notwith" standing his assertion of lack ot ora torial ability made the presentment ln a speech which was not only favoTaoly received by the large audience but vociferarisly applauded when he closed Gov. Swineford responded with con- siderable evidence of grateful emotion, thanking his friends and neighoors TOT the kindly feeling of confidence ln him evidenced by their signatures to the petitions asking him to be candidate, and accepti. 2 their call, pledging him. self if elected to serve not only them but the people of Alaska, without re- gard to section honestly, faithfully and to the best of his ability. Gov. Swine ford spoke for over an hour, discussing the question of home-rule to be the one and only issue before the people at the present time, and arousing his hearers to high pitch of enthusiasm
 More than 90 per cent. of the legal voters of the Ketchik4n mining district signed the petitions presented to the ex-governor, and goes without saying that could his neighbors have the
 whole say in the premises, hIs election
 would be a practically unanimous vote.

 New York. June 27.-Never since the staying of James Fisk, as he was decending the steps of the Grand Central hotel in New York city thirty years ago, has Gotham been so excited over a tragedy as now prevails in re gard to the shooting by Harry Thaw of Stanford White, at the Madison Square roof garden Monday night. No sen sation of this kind in recent years has had so many prominent people in the cast. Harry Thaw, the slayer, is known to the gay world of two contt- neuts and is the brother of Countess Yarmouth.
The daily Alaskan., 1906-06-27

Stanford White was the son of Rich ard Mansfield White, the famous deceased author and critic, as was as well known in the sphere of bis pro- fession, as was his famous sire in the world of letters. Stanford White WAS the designer of a number of the most notable and modern structures in America, and it is a strange co-inci- dent that he drew the plans of the Madison Square roof gardens, where he came to his tragic end.
 Harry Thaw, and his wife, Evelyn Nesbit, the actress, are aliens, and their high British connections give international importance to the sensa- tion.

The words of the slayer, "You deserve this, you have ruined my honor" os be shot down his victim, has given the public the keynote to what is believed will develope at the trial and that this unfortunate affair will be a drama as well as gruesome traged dy.
