CLAIM JUMPER GETS ROPE
 AROUND HIS NECK.

FAIRBANKS, June 18.-The miners on Goldstream placed a rope around the neck of Joe Cook and then gave him the option of leaving the country or suffering the con- sequences.
 It Is claimed he is a pro- fessional claim jumper. Par ticulars of the case which so aroused the indignation of the miners relate to that of Joe Voegeler and partner, who sank an 00-foot hole on No. , below, Goldstream. His partner was taken sick and went to the hospital, and since then Voegeler has been doing what work he could. A few days ago Cook and Morrison jumped the claim.
 "Don't get me into a law

 This had no effect upon Cook and he went ahead with a view of securing the claim.
 The miners were discuss ing the subject at McGuire's roadhouse when Cook came along. They secured a rope and quickly surrounded him. He pleaded and promised to leave the country; so he was given a chance to get out.

HooLEY SQUARED OLD DEBTS.
Wall Street Broker Proved Himself
''Good Leather"

Edwin S. HooIey. whose firm, E. ).
Hooiey & Co., of 40 Wall street. New York
city, went to smash in the panic of 1908,
surprised his creditors yesterday by paying
them the balance of their claims, of which
they had absolved him in the usual bank
ruptcy compromise. Hooley later formed
the firm of Hooley, Learnard q Co. OF 10
Broad street. He became known as the
Lawson broker in Wall street and was pop
ularly credited with executing the orders
of the Boston Spectator. In the last hf-
teen months his business has prospered,
and on Saturday last he sent checks to his
former creditors in payment in full for all
their claims, including those which they
had compounded.
Mr. Hooey yesterday said he was too
busy to talk about the payment Friends
of his stated however, that when the set
Element was made by which he was en-
abled to go into business again there was
q balance of $500, 600 which had been wiped
out in the settlement. This amount, with
interest since the failure, was paid yester-
day to the creditors of the old firm.
The failure of the Hooley firm in 1903 was
due to an overloaded account In Evansville
and Terra Haute and Keokuk and Des
Moines. These railroads the firm expected
to SELL The money panic developed, how
ever, bankers refused to loan on the coilat-
eral and the Hooley firm was forced to sus-
pend. In the fall of that year a compro-
mise was effected, and later the new firm
was formed

COMMISSIONERS SATISFIED.
Treatment of District by Congress
Gratifying.

Commissioner Macfarland says he is
much gratified by reason of the way the
District is being treated in Congress this
session. He was especially pleased this
morning because of the favorable action
of the House yesterday afternoon on the
compulsory education bill.
I'VE are reaping the harvest of years of
effort" the Commissioner remarked, ''in
the District legislation of this session. Now
the compulsory education bill is added to
the list of Commissioners bills which have
already passed both houses of Congress.
1t is one in which we who have to deal
most directly with the education of the
children have been especially interested,
and it is very gratifying to have it pass.
when the Commissioners presented the
bill to the last Congress several years ago
there was apparently considerable opposi-
ton, which seems to have largely disap-
peared. 1t is to be hoped that the Com
missioners' bill for the regulation of child
labor will also pass at this session. That
question is incidentally dealt with in the
compulsory education bill, which will pro-
duce an improvement in that respect by
preventing the employment of children of
school age during school hours. But we
need additional safeguards.
THE operation of the compulsory educa-
ton bin will necessarily be gradual, for the
attendance officers to be appointed under
that bill will not be able to gather in all
the children who are out of school immedi-
ately Nevertheless, besides those that will
be sent to parochial private schools,
there will be a large number, probably less
than 5000, who will gradually be brought
into the public schools, and this will COM
pei the temporary provision of rented rooms
until additional permanent school room can
be provided, although provision for some
of the new pupils can be made in some
of the schoolhouses not now crowded. This
matter has been presented to the Senate
committee on appropriations. so that suit
able provision may be made"
