ALASKA FORUM SUSPENDED
Its Press Was Today Slipped to
 Tanana.

The press on which the Alaska Forum was formerly printed went down the river on the Seattle No. 3 today. Re- port says it is to replace the one on which the Yukon Press has been printed at Panama, which was recently taken in charge by Rev. J. L. Provost, its owner
 It is inferred from a recent number of the Press that Rev. Mr. Provost took charge of the printing material because he disapproved of that papers course with regard to its criticism of the Tan ana commissioner and deputy marshal.
 The Forum suspended publication without announcement of it's intentions, and therefore it cannot be stated wheth- CT publication will be resumed or not

JACK LOND0N'S NEW STORY
Founded on Sensational Occurrence
 In Alaska.

Seattle, July 3l.-Jack London's sen sational new story, ''The Unexpected" has for plot the hanging of Michael Dennis by Mrs. Nelson; at Lityu Bay, Alaska, in 1900.

story, but many Alaskans here say it never happened.
 Many old-timers in the klondike will remember the incident. The admins tration of law in that section being en- tirely i'll the hands of the settlers them selves, man and his wife took a murderer edhanded and undertook to hold him prisoner until some ship should arrive on which to send him to the lower country for trial. The man had to be watched night and day, per hitting no other work. Always one was on guard. If our memory serves us right the husband finally sickened There was nothing else left to do than to turn the murderer loose or hang him, and he was hung in proper fashion and the case afterward reported to late ar irving authorities. The woman was afterward acquitted. The disputing Alaskans are probably cheecacos, or from the interior, where the thing was never heard. The files of the coast pa- pers have only to be searched, or even the files of the Dawson papers of those days, to verify the incident which has been taken by London for the basis of his new novel.-pawson News.

ALL ONE WAY
 IN THE INTERIOR
No Returns from Nome or Southeastern
 Alaska.

So far as this camp is con cerned, the election for dele gate was very tame. A good many men on the creeks did not come in and vote, and nothing sensational occurred at the polls.
 There was no electioneer- ing except for Gale and Was key, and that was not brisk. The vote was as follows at
 Rampant.
 Short Term-Cale 1, Was key 66, Murane s, Swineford 12, John Minook 1; total, SS. Long Term-Cale v, Mu- rane 10, Mellen 1; total, SS.

 Gale 94, Waskey 72; total vote, 9S.

 Fairbanks.
 Total vote of the city and creeks: Gale 2,635, Waskey 2,617, Murane 114, Mellen B, Swineford 16.
 Returns from other places have not been received. The majority for Gale will proba- bly, be augmented by more than a thousand by returns from other interior places. If he has no more than broken even at Nome it ap- pears that he has won, for his vote on the coast was ex- pected to be large.

Interesting possibilities were
shown by a cent-a-wOrd advertise
ment published yesterday by a local
tailor stating that someone in calling
for a pair of trousers got a pair be-
longing to someone else. If the man
who got the wrong pair should nave
been going away in a hurry or TO
some event and did not discover his
mistake until there was not Sutllclent
time to return TO the tailor shop and
get his own neither garments, ne
would probably be in a stew. for he
might be tall and have a pair OF
trousers belonging TO a mar a full
foot shorter than he, or vice versa,
and his own girth might not be pro-

MAXIM CORKY
ON WAY HERE.
Russian Emancipation Leaves
CherbOurg for America
Bread, Light and Liberty.

CHERBOTRG, April Il. Maxim
Gorky. the great Russian emancipation,
is on his way to The United States.
whittier he has gonc 10 lnaugufate an
agitation among Russian refugees ana
friends of liberty in general, 10 Inc
| end that the present autocratic govern
ment of the ear may be overthrown.
He sailed "Wednesday night under an
assumed name on board the North Ger
man LLOYD steamship Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse.
The propaganda which Gorky is
| about TO begin in America will enlist
the cooperation of n number Of fa-
| mons political eXiles both in New York
and Chicago.
Gorky has an adopted son in New
York. hui so precipitate was the nov
clist'S flight from France that even
this son WAS in ignorance Of his fa-
TIERS sailing until told of ii by Il re-
porter.
Gorky's Punishment from Russia and
departure for America is the culmina-
tion of months of political agitation IN
Russia and the aftermath of the reVo-
luton of January. 1909, when the
troops of the ear shot down in odd
blood in the streets of st. Petersburg
thousands of peaceful workingmen on
their way to present Il petition TO the
emperor. At the time Gorky wrote Il
stirring letter of appeal TO the officers
of the st. Petersburg garrison calling
upon them not to sacrifice their honor
to the cause Of oppression and TO re-
fuse to bcar arms against their w
brothers in their struggle for bread,
light and liberty"
The Russian government at once ar
rested Gorky on the charge of melting
the army to reason. and he was taken
from Riga to st. Petersburg and
thrown into Il dungeon of the st. Peter
and st. Paul fortress.
A cry went up from all over the
civilized world when it was learned
that Gorky was marked for execution,
and petitions poured upon the ear
from all over Europe and even from
America begging tlat clemency be ex-
tended to the distinguished Russian for
the sake of Russian literature and the
world of letters in general.
The Grand Duke Constantine Con
Stantinovitch intcrcedcd with the en-
peror in person and secured tiorky'S
release from prison ON II condition
that he leave Russia.

WAS PASSED.
Brewers" Bill Now Goes 10 the
acknowledgement Tax Act

TRENTON. Apr. 6:-The bis

until 1t is now referred to as the
brewers bill. was passed by the
senate yesterday afternoon and or

Their modification is unlikely. In its
present shape the bill and its com
panion measure, introduced by the
senate committee ON Miscellaneous
Business, eliminates the back room
and ''growler'' trade, makes the
minimum license fee $500, permits
local excise boards to order down
screens and reduces the number of
saloons to for each two hundred
of population, except in seashore cit
les where there are great throngs in
the summer season.
But the bill will not bring about
all the reforms desired by the clergy
men, who asked that owners of prop
erty, with the keepers of saloons, be
required to make joint application
for license, that saloons be closed for
one year for violations and that all
bars be exposed to public view.
The corrupt practices bills of Sen
ator Jackson were passed, as was
also the bill prohibiting the use of
magazine guns in hunting
and the u~ndertakers' license bill.
The Camden and Passaic munich
pal ownership bills were also passed
and are now ready for the governors
signature. Senator Avis bills, to
permit municipal ownership in third
class cities, was also passed, as was
Assemblyman Serbe's bill permitting
municipal ownership in villages.
Senator Colby moved to relieve
the committee of further considera-
tion of his election reform bills, but
this was voted down.
When the bill to abolish the State
Board of Arbitration came up and
the senate was about to vote that
body out of existence on the ground
that ii was useless expense to the
state, Senator Wakelee declared his
intention of introducing a bill to give
the board arbitrary power to inter
fere in strikes. This resulted in the
defeat of the arbitration repeater.
but its sponsor, Senator Mckee,
changed his vote and will %endeavor
to have the measure reconsidered
and passed later.
Governor Stokes yesterday after
noon signed the Perkins equal taxa
ton bill, which was passed as Il re-
suit of Senator Colby's campaign.
and which increases the taxes on
railroads doing business in New Jer-
scy from $1,000, 600 to about 81
600, 600 per annum.
