SPIT BEFORE you SHOOT"

Cleveland in the New York Independent.

role. 1t may not, however, be entire
ly Improbable to mention q fault
which l suppose to be somewhat
common among those who have not
reached the point Of satisfactory
skill, and which my experience has
taught me will stand In the way Of
success as long as it remains uncor-

difficulty controlled impulse to
shoot too quickly when the bird
rises. The flight seems to be much
more speedy than 1t really is, and
the undrilled shooter, II he has any
idea in bis mind at all, Is dominated
by the fear that II the formality OF
aiming his gun Is observed the game
will be beyond range before he shoots.
This leads to q nervous, hustered
pointing Of the gun In the direction
of the birds flight, and It's discharge
at such close range that the load OF
shot hardly separates In the inter-
vening distance. Nine times out of
ten the result is, of course, q com.

SETS FORTH NEEDS
Of ALASKA.

SEATTLE. Oct. 2s.-Hon. Thomas
Gale of Fairbanks, Alaska, is in the
city on his way East to Washington
Said he today:
The people of Alaska are more inter
ested in securing a territorial form Of
government than in anything else that
is before them at present. We don't
mean. of course, to go into all the
ramffications of local self government,
into township and county organiza-
tions, as is done in the old settled
countries. We simply wish, and it is
a natural want of American citizens
to be empowered to legislate for our
selves.
We are anxious to secure as much
governmental assistance as we can for
road construction in Alaska. We want
a road from a point on the coast, VAL
deZ or some other, through the Yukon
country. We would like to have the
road tap all the interior. II the Gov
erment will attend to the construction
of the main trunk roads Alaskans
themselves will attend to the construc-
tion of the branches.
The present provision for schools
away from incorporated towns is mea-
ger and unsatisfactory, and people in
many places have to educate their own
children after paying their revenue to
the Government. We look for more
Government assistance along this ad-
ditional line.
Alaska is sadly neglected In the mat
ter of life saving stations along the
dangerous coasts. Navigators should
be given great deal more protection.

DOUBLE CROSS.
Parsons Charges That the
Hearst Gotham Nominees
Were Purposely "Jobbed"
. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-Herbert Par
sons, president of the Republican
county committee, formally charged the
directors of w. R. Hearsts Independ-
ence League Corporation tonight with
purposely preparing its nominating
petitions for local candidates in such
manner that hey would not stand in
the courts. This, he alleged, was to
carry out the Hearst-Murphy deal
made in Buffalo.
In view of the facts known" said
Parsons, Il think it has become clear to
the voters what a farce the pretended
nominations of local candidates by the
Independence League We're"
Parsons then referred to the fact that
the league had filed petitions of its
own, nominating certain men, while
Tammany had filed petitions nominat-
ing others. and that Tammany had filed
objections to the leagues petitions
Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman OF
the Republican State Comittce today
declared that Edward H. Clark, the
attorney, agent or trustee of the Hearst
estate in this city, had failed utterly
to answer the questions propounded by
the Republican State Committee re-
garding the connection of the estate
papers with the 'Plunderbund," as Wall
street is called by the league nominee
for Governor.
Woodruff pointed out that Clark did
not deny that the Hearst estate had
been engaged in various pools and un-
derwriting syndicates, such as the
Metropolitan Syndicate the Tobacco
trust promotion, the Third-avenue re-
organization and others, but contented
himself with absolving Hearst from
any interest in or the management of
the Hearst estate.
Whatever may be the truth concern
ing Hearst's interests in or control of
the Hearst estate, Woodruff produces
facts which tend to show that Clark or
the Hearst estate has exercised con-
siderable control of the Hearst news
papers; that Clark in fact is apparently
the connecting link between the
Hearst estate and the Hearst news
papers, he having acted as publisher,
general manager or in some capacity
where he absolutely controlled the ex-
penditure Of money on the Journal and
American.

MONEY To WAGER
ON ELECTION.

Reports come to Republican head
quarters at the st. Francis that Gillett
money finds no takers in Bakersfield
Napa and Sacramento. 1t is said that
the lack of activity in the betting line
is due to the widespread opinion that
the Republicans will win. Two weeks
ago word was sent to General Stone
that Democrats In Bakersfield were
willing to wager on an even basis that
Bell would be elected. Republicans
here responded by authorizing an
agent in Kern to place $500 there
One wager of 800 was effected the re-
naming sum, S1400, at last accounts
had not been covered.
A similar story comes from Sacra-
mento. Republicans are so confident
of Gillett's election that they are offer
ing premiums for bets on Bell.
Last night General Stone predicted
that Gillett's plurality would be nearer
10000 than 10000.
At Democratic headquarters absolute
confidence in Bells success is pro-
fessed.
Estimates as to the number of votes
that will be recorded in this city vary
from 41,000 to $4,000. Gavin McNab in
clines to the opinion that the latter
figure will be approached. Registrar
Adams makes a lower reckoning At
Republican headquarters the figuring
is on basis of $4,000 votes.

lows:
There was manifested at the last ses-
sion of Congress a prevailing opinion
upon both sides of the House, as well
as on both sides of the Senate cham

cludes in its membership Governors of

presidents Of all our great universities,
representatives of organized labor and

in the southern portion there are no
police and as a result the Presidents
proclamation has no weight.
No troop of cavalry could save the
situation. but their presence might
help.
A number of shooting ARRAYS have
been reported. The most trouble was
caused on account of drunkenness, but
in some cases pistols were drawn In
disputes over horses. Several men tried
to ride off with others horses. but they
were promptly brought TO halt under
cover of a revolver. One man riding
a horse insisted that il was his. and
shooting scrape was imminent, when
a friend of the two claimants appeared
and quelled the trouble. 1t was found
that a mistake had been made on ac-
count of the similar appearance Of the
animals. More than half the men who
will make the rush tomorrow intend
to head for the abandoned Arastra
mine. near Dutchman Creek. and If any
conflicts occur il will probably be at
this point.

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.--Andrew Car
negie returned from abroad today on
the Celtic. With him were Mrs. Car
negie, his daughter Miss Margaret
Carnegie, who has recovered from her
sprained ankle, and Carnegfe's sister.
During the five months and more he
has been away he has had lots of fun
playing golf, fishing, coaching and
picking up relics-not manuscripts
of Robert Burns.
Carnegie, sprightly, bright eyed,
hearty and jolly, showed the effects Of
his simple life at Skibo. While being
interviewed he suggested his own
questions, dug the reporters in the ribs

campaign of Hughes and Hearst for

term?" he was asked.
That's question about which, per-
haps. the President viii have nothing
to say, said Carnegie. There is one
contingency by which he would be
bound, or fail in his duty to his coun-
try. Suppose the Republican conven-
tion met and resolved that there was
no other standard bearer that could
carry the party to victory and nomi-
mated the President and adjourned.
Here is contingency that the Presi

Having disposed of this theme, Car
negie was eager to discuss his latest
hobby, reformed spelling.
Now for the third subject, the new
spelling. That's good copy" he said.
Reformed spelling will be better for
the English language. I have met the
leading philologists of Great Britain
and they have assured me that through
out the civilized world there is no Ian

our own. The 3ed words selected for re-
