The Eetchican Journal suggests that iuStesd Of asking for change provid- iog that Alaskan appeals oe taken to Seattle rather than San Francisco, we should ssk for 8 fourth judge and & provision that the four judges be made s supreme court, three to pass upon the rulings ot the other one. That will come with territorial GoverOmeut. It IS one Of the arrangements we have ID nearly al oi the territories, and is one ol the problems that will solve themselves when congress grants tue people ot Alaska the privilege Of eIer- ct,iuE their right to govern them selves.

KINGS MOUNTAIN MONUMENT
An Appropriation Of $4,000 Advo-
Gated by Mr.. Webb
DEsERTIONs FROM THE NAVY
Attributed to the Enlistment of Boys
Under 1S Years of Age-General
Debate ON Naval Appropriation Bill
Ended With Close OF Yesterdays
Session of the House.

Washington, May General debate
On the naval appropriation bill termi-
mated with the close of today's session
OF the house, one paragraph Of the bill
being read in order to make it the
| continuing order before the house ad-
| journed
international arbitration, the reduc-
ton OF our armament, a carefully pre-
| pared address on the achievements of
the navy and defense of the naval
programme for 1907 were the features
of this legislative day. Those who ad-
dressed the house formally were Mr..
Bartholdt, of Missouri; Mr.. Johnson of
South Carolina: Mr.. Tirell and Mr..
Weeks, of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Foss, of Illinois, in charge of
the bill, stated that the naval budget
probably would be completed after two
days debate under the f1ve-minute rule,
Mr.. Payne, the floor leader, thought it
would take day longer.
An appropriation of $4,000 for the
building of a monument at Kings
Mountain battle ground, was the sub
Ject of speech delivered by Mr..
Webb, of North Carolina
Mr.. Tirrell, of Massachusetts, was
recognized to explain some reasons
why there are so many desertions from
the navy, which he attributed to the
enlistment of boys under 1S years of
age. Mr.. Tirrell said that there was
not a postoffice along the Massachu-
setts coast that did not contain a fam
ing poster with magnificent battleships
in the distance and a natty petty Off
Ger in the foreground inviting the
young men of the land to join the navy
and telling of the benefits to be de-
| rived therein.
GA fraud order ought to be issued
against that" said Mr.. Mann, of Illi-
nois, sententiously
Mr.. Clark, of Missouri said it was
| great mistake to put the stigma of de-
sertiOn on boy who had out of pure
patriotism enlisted in the navy and
who later found he was not suited to it's
requirements. "a boy under Is years
| of age is still a~boy and should be so
treated" remarked Mr.. Clark.

POSITION OF THE PRESIDENT
His Attitude on Railroad Rate
Legislation Defined
FAVORS ALLISON AMENDMENT
This Should be Fu, In Reyarile,s. Of
What Action l. Taken on Other
Amendments-He Would Like to
See the Long and Overman Amend
ments Also Incorporated.

Washington. Nav h.-In view Of the
publications today regarding the pres
idents position on the question OF
railroad rate legislation. ane the
amendments proposed. an authorita-
tive statement was issued at the White
house today defining the presidents
position.
The statement follows:
The so-called Allison amendment.
in the presidents judgment simply
states aftirmatively what the president
believes was already contained in the
Hepburn bill: but. IL there is the
slightest doubt as TO its being thus
already contained in the bill, the
president would insist upon its being
put IN, because unless it Is thus con-
tanned the bill undoubtedly would be
void.
Therefore as Incorporated, the ALI
son amendment under no circum-
stances would do anything but good.
and as there Is an honest doubt on
the part Of some sincere adherents OF
the bill whether il is or Is not already,
by implication. contained In the bill,
the president is clearly OF the opinion
put in and this without regard TO
whether other amendments are or are
not adopted.
''If the Hepburn bill. therefore.
passes in this form, which is practi-
cally the exact form in which IL pass
ed the house, 1t will be satisfac-
tory TO the president. who. from the
beginning, has stated that the Hep
burn bill itself would be satisfactory.
But the president would like IL. in
addition to the Allison amendment
the so-called Long and Overman
amendments We're adopted. While the
president regards these amendments
with favor and would like TO see them
adopted, he does not in the least re-
gard them as vital. and feels that the
Hepburn bill would still be in excel
lent shape even without them"
Assurances were today given the
president that practically the republi-
can strength would be cast for the
Allison amendment to the railroad
rate bill. Many senator's called at the
White house, and not a few at the
apartments OF Senator Allison and in
this way messages have been exchang-
ed
Comparatively few senator's were at
the capitol today. Instead OF having
conference, as had been suggested,
the leaders seemed TO think that the
seneTai welcome gwen 10 the gather-
ing unnecessary. The few who did
meet at the capitol discussed the pres
idents statement, again endorsing the
Allison amendment. and expressed the
opinion that his acceptance OF the
proposition eliminated all prospects OF
contest.
Many of the democrats. especially
those who advocated Senator Bailey's
plan for a limited review, were inclin-
IN a
compromise proposition. They would
have preferred the bill without amend
ment as the alternative of the Rai'~J
amendments.

THE POLICE ROUNDUP
Saturday Night Victims of Ovcr-Indu1-
gence i'm Drinking Cause Several
Calls for "Hurry-Up' Wagon

The regular weekly roundup by the
police which generally occurs on Sat-
urday nights when there Is a plenteous
supply Of victims Of over-indulgence
in drinking, kept the hall officers busy
last night answering calls for the
"hurry-up" wagon.
During the early part OF the night
things were pretty quiet. AT s:45
o'clock the first call was received.
Three negroes were caught rolling
bones" near Front street in the block
between Dock and Orange streets. The
arrests were made by Officer Lane and
on the book at the city hall the charge
entered was gambling
A negro too drunk TO know his
name was picked UP by Policeman
Leon George at Sixth and Orange
streets. The darkey had pretty case
of drunk and down" and will possibly
morrow noon.
Frank Mulford, colored. drunk and
down, was sent in from Water and
Market streets by Officer A y. Smith.
When negro who said his name
was Archie Hail. was sent in from
Tenth and Dock streets, charged with
being drink and down. a pistol was
located in one Of his pockets. Archie
seemed to sober up a bit when the
find was made but his excuses wouldn't
go down with the officers who made
the search and carrying concealed
weapons will be explained some way
tomorrow, maybe.

ACCIDENT TO BATTLESHIP
The Rhode Island Stranded i'm Chesa-
pealxe Bay-Big Tugs Not Successful
in Pulling Her Off.

Norfolk, Va, May 5.-The battleship
Rhode Island, commissioned April II,
stranded early this morning off York S
Spit, in Chesapeake Bay. The vessel
passed in the capes early this morn
ing from the Boston navy yard and was
en- route to Yorktown, Va.
The big ship was just entering the
mouth of the York river when she
struck nose first on a sand bar and
from last reports here, is still hard
aground.
The ship notified the wireless station
here of her position and asked for aid.
The tugs Uncas, Hercules, and Mohawk
were rushed to her assistance and have
been standing by the ship since early
this afternoon. The Uncas had just
arrived from the southern drill
lantic fleet and is considered the most
powerful tow boat in the service Of the
government. The Hercules and Mo-
hawk are attached to this yard and are
also powerful boats.
The efforts of the tugs to float the
big ship have so far, according to the
last reports received, been unavailing.
Officials thought that with the aid of
the tugs the ship would be floated at
high tide, but, up to midnight, no re-
port from the scene Of the stranded
fighter had reached this pard.
No one is able to place the response
bility of the stranding of the battle
ship. There was no fog, or storm on
the hay this morning and officials are
unable to account for the accident.
She attempted to enter the York river
before day break and was out OF the
channel. In the event Of the success
full floating of the ship she will be
brought here to determine the amount
of damage sustained.

PENALTIES OF MINOR DEGREE
Punishments of Thirty Midshipmen
Implicated in HaZing.

Washington, May 5.-The fate of
thirty midshipmen has been settled.
When the hazing investigation was at
its height, the special board appointed
by Admiral Sands, the superintendent
of ne academy. collected much evi-
dence against many Of the midshipmen
of which the latter never knew. Had
the old law remained unchanged, each
of the boys would have been hailed
before a court-martial and if con-
victed of haZing would have been dis
missed from the academy Now, how
ever. the new law has been applied,
and the superintendent Of the academy
has been allowed to fix the puni>hmen ent
to be meted out TO each of the mid
shipmen found by the board to have
been implicated in hazing. These
punishments consist of penalties of
minor degree, which have been well
coined by the culprits as infinitely to
be preferred to the harsh sentence of
expulsion, which has heretofore been
'h- only punishment permitted by
law

announcement of Count Wittes retire
ment from the premiership, the retire
ment of M. Durnovo from the ministry
of the interior and NJ Goremykin's s
elevation to the premiership appeared
today in the official messenger. The
usual receipts do not contain the
slightest suggestion of the Emperor's s
displeasure On the contrary the re-
ceipts to Witte puts the motive for
his retirement in the best possible
light, accepting the excuse of ill-health
at its face value. The whole tone Of
the rescript is extraordinarily cordial
and besides it confers on Witte the
order of Alexander Nevsky set in bril-
liants. It is the second high
est decoration in Russia. Witte also
retains his title of count and is
appointsd a member of the council of
the empire or upper house Of the new

ERRORS LOST GAME
Poor Playing by High School Students
Cause of Defeat at Hands of MUIR
Gibson Bank Nine.

In game Of baseball marked
throughout by errors by players on
the High School team, that nine was
defeated by the team from the Murchi-
son National Bank this afternoon al
Hilton, the score being IA to 2.
At all stages of the game the bank
team had the advantage, this team
playing ball all around the students.
The game was so One-sided that much
Of the enthusiasm shown by the fair
sized crowd of rooters during the early
part of the contest, was destroyed. The
batteries were: For High School, Or
rell and Jewell; and for the bank,
Smith and Dick.
The rest of the lineup was as fol-
