Juneau papers arc denying EhaI Man ager NcCloskey of the Juneau baseball Geam went South after new players, and they assert that their lineup on the Fourth Of July will be practically the same ss it was at WhItehorse and Skagway last month. They calm that instead Of being down st Seattle hiring baseball players Mr. McCloskey was at his Atliu mines. Local fans, however, are uot figuring that way. Evidently they have what they lhiuk was $ ralght tip, and they count on meeting a stronger team than they met in May.
 Manager Tanner said this morning: "I will bet S25 that Juneau will have 8 bunch or new players for the Fourth of July. expec, 10 meet a better team tnan We met before. Why, It would be 8 claCh tt It We're not so. Il I were sure that We had to go against lhe o.d lineup { would send our second team down, sud keep our good players at home.

CAME LONG DISTANCE.
Message Came Twelve Thousand
Miles When Picked Up.

While Morconi experts were testing
new receiving cones at the top of the
tower at the station at Port Morlen
last week. an operator was in com
nunication with the wireless station
It Manila. The message received was
that the American cruiser Philade.-
phia had arrived.
The Marconi people account for the
occurrence by the theory that the
cone at Manila must have been IN
perfect tune with that at Port Morien.
The message from Manila was
..ricked up" while being sent to
:ome other station on the Pacific or
% war vessel. The message was
.ecorded at the time by an operator
in the receiving room at the Marconl
station.
At the time the experts were eS'
oerimenting in an effort to receive
MESA ges from Ireland. They re-
ceiyed several messages from the
irish station and were in the act OF
making further tests when the lnstrn-
nents recorded the arrival OF the
ohiiadelrhia at Manila.
The Marconi people say that no
mistake was made and that the mes
sage was undoubtedly sent by the
Manila station. which is about IL
900 miles distant, and that, as re

MAN EATERS.
AWfnl Tales of CannibaIism in
Northeastern Canada.
Editor of Fort Francis Times Brings
Back Terrible Story After Making
Trip Of Exploration.

Back Terrible Story After Making
Trip of Exploration.
A special dispatch to The Chicago
Record Herald from Winnipeg, Mani
toba, says:
Tales of cannibalism and famine
among natives of northeastern Can
ada, between the eastern shore of
James Bay and Lamrador, are
brought back by J. A. Osborne, edi-
tor Of the Fort Francis Times, who
has Just completed a trip Of explora-
ton in that country.
While at Moose factory, the ex-
plorer met young man who fed
thither in terror of his uncle, who ne
said had killed and eaten eight hum
an beings. There, too, he saw
woman who last winter killed and
ate her two children, so great was the
famine. This lack of food primarily
was brough about by the fact that the
woods seemed almost entirely without
the usual number of deer and rab-
bits, upon which the natives ordinar-
lily subsist.
las these occurrences die not seem
to cause any stir in that region. Mr..
Oborne come to the conclusion that
cannibalism is practiced openly on
many occasions among the Indians
and half breeds.
One village on Main river was wlp-
ed off the map because of the great
snow fall last winter. Having no pro-
visions stored up. and with streams
covered solid with ice, the Indians
starved to death with. the exception
of party of young men and women,
who decided to try to make Hudson
bay $50 miles down the stream. AT
ter a journey marked by great pr1va-
ton. they reached the fort more dead
that alive: A relief expedition sent
back to the village found nothing
but IS corpses in the rude huts "nlch
comprised the village.
Osborne says the indians and Is
kimo population in the region is
diminishing rapidly, due partly to
emigration to the coast of Labrador
and partly to the prevalence OF dis
ease and frequent scarcity Of food.
He says many of the natives are fall
ing prey to tuberculosis.

BURNED TO DEATH
Flaming Gasoline Surrounds Crew
of Swamped Launch.
Several Prominent Young Men Of
New York Meet Horrible Fate
While os Pleasure Trip.

At New York four young men were
drowned and three others, all from
good families, were so seriously burn
ed in the explosion of gasoline
launch on Raritan Bay early Thurs
day that they may die
For three hours after the explosion
the three survivors clung to the rail
Of the launch and fought off the
flaming gasoline which surrounded
them in the water.
The dead:
Harry P. Barter, bookkeeper of ;he
First National bank of Perth Amboy.
Floyd McHose, draghtsman,
Perth Amboy.
Edward J. Olsen, bookkeeper,
Perth Amboy.
Charles Wickburg, clerk in the
Perth Amboy Terra Gotta company.
The injured:
Joseph J. Horsby, bookkeeper Ma
tional Fire Proofing company; badly
burned.
Nelson P. Macau. draugntsman,
Perth Amboy, burns.
Richard Rubedee. a draughtsman,
burns.
The seven young men started late
at night from Perth Amboy in a
large gasoline launch owned by Ma
can. for Keyport-
When two miles off Keyport one
of them lighted match to ignite a
cigar. A spark flew into the drip
pings of gasoline in the bot
tom of the boat and instantly COM
municated the flames to the 5O-gallon
tank in the head of the boat. There
was a terrific explosion and the seven
men were hurled into the water.
The boat was set afre and those
who survived the first shock-fVe of
them--swam back to the launch. Two
had been drowned at the first INNER
sion. The survivors caught the boat
rail on the same side and tried to
tip it so as to flood it with water and
extinguish the flames Instead the
first tip Of the launch sent many gal
Ions Of flaming gasoline on the water
about the swimming men, driving
them away from the boat.
This time only three of the men
returned to the boat, two having been
so blinded by the burning gasoline
that they were drowned.
The three survivors. Hornsby, Ma
eau and Rubedee, held to the boat
for three hours while their hands
were burned to a crisp by the flames
which were shootisg UP and making
a bright torch out on the bay. They
were almost dead and ready to drop
off and drown when the freight
steamer st. Michael. plying between
New York and Perth Amboy, came
along and, being attracted by the
torch of burning gasoline, sent help.

CHARGES OF TRESPaSS
Brought Against Priminent Citizens
of Clarendon County.

a dispatch from Manning says that
upon the oath Of one c. W. Boykln.
Magistrate J. VI. Wilder. of St.
Stephens, has issued warrant for
the arrest of some fifteen or twenty
citizens of Clarendon County on the
charge Of trespass after notice on
Buford and Mexico plantations, in
Berkeley County, in September Of
last year.
Among those charged with tres
pass in this case are: Mr. J. II. Les
esne, prominent lawyer of Manning.
and Mr.. E. B. Brown. clerk Of the
county board of commissioners, who
is at present student of law.
Mr.. Lesesne says he has not put
his foot in Berkeley County since
November, 1905, when he crossed the
river for a short time while engaged
in hunting and fishing on the proper
ty of the Santee River Cypress Lum-
Der Company and does not know
whether he was even then near the
Buford or Mexico plantations.
Mr.. Brown says he certainly was
not in Berkeley county last year, and
doesn't think he ever was, unless 1t
was barely across the line while en-
gagd in surveying Santee Swamp. He
SAYS there is at one place a strip OF
several hundred acres on the south
side of Santee River that belongs to
Clarendon County, and while running
that Inc he might have stepped over
into Berkeley.
No one who knows Mr.. Lesesne or
Mr.. Brown would think for moment
that they would trespass on any
hody's premises before or after no
| tice This must be case OF mis-
taken identity. The trial in the Mag
istrate's Court is set for October II
at which time something interesting
will likely develop.

Will BUY DIRECT
That Is One of the Practical Re-
suits of the Late
Conference of the Cotton Spinners
and Cotton Growers liz Atlanta
Arrangements Perfect.

A dispatch from Atlanta says i'm
mediate and practical results Of ->,e
International Conference Of the Cot
ton Growers and Spinn2cs which
closed Wednesday developed Thurs
day in Z conference held by the eX-
ecutive board Of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union and 4.
W. Macalister Of Manchester, Eng
land, one of the chief experts on spin
nable grades of cotton, with the Eu-
ropean delegation to the late con-
ference.
The object of the conference WIS
to perfect and as speedily as possible
to agree upon terms whereby the
growers of the union could deal d.
ect with the European consumers.
It was stated by the unions officers
that already the union had arranged
to locate an gent in Englnd; that a
central agency had been established
in Memphis and that this office will
notify the European agency Of all
cotton ready for sale.
Mr.. Macalister guaranteed that all
cotton offered would be bought. He
explained, that the cotton offered by
the union must conform with the
grades sold, and that the baling and
compression must be in accordance
with the terms adopted by the con-
ference. This was agreed to. This
will result in great saving to the
farmer if carried out.

AWAITS A PRETEXT.
That is What Congressman Hob
son Says About Japan.
He Says War Between the Cnited
States and the Japs May Be On
Very Soon.

In the course of a lecture at Green
vile on Thursday evening. Congress
man Richmond Pearson Fobson,
formerly of the United States navy.
made the startling declaration that
Japan is only awaiting a preteXt be-
fore declaring war against the United
States.
He said Japan could land 100000
veteran troops on the Pacific coast
before the United States could pre-
pare effective resistance, and could
follow them up with 100000 more
before this government could dis
patch half as many over our trans
continental railroads.
Japan was prepared for war today,
he said. but the United States could
not get on war footing in months,
perhaps in year.
Captain Hobson said that the dis
patch of the battleships to the Pacific
may save the situation for the United
States, but he feared Japan would
strike before the feet ever reached
San Francisco.
Japan is now trying to fnd an en-
cuse for a declaration of war, in oT-
der to have some Of the force Of pub
lie opinion in Europe in her favor.
He cited that the San FRANCISCO in
cident as an example, and said that
our backdown was wise piece OF
craftsmanship, because it prevented
a declaration of war. though it was
to American pride and
patriotism.
He pleaded for a greater navy,
which he said would insure the peace
Of the world.
