SUNDAY LAW IN ALASKA
Being Enforced Strike Condit-
ion Depressing

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 30.-For
violation of the Alaska gambling laws
on Sunday, three arrests have been
made in Fairbanks The victims are
men who were playing a quiet game of
poker In cigar stands. These are the
first arrests made since the order for
a general closing all over Alaska, April
1.
The word has gone out that Fair
banks is to be a closed town hence
forth. The old frontier with it's free and
easy existence is moving northward
constantly. Old timers with a penchant
for the cosmopolitan, life of the typical
mining camp now are beginning to fix
their eyes on the realm of the North
Pole as the next stand where their
rights, those that they regard as in
alfenable. will not be invaded by that
dfsrespecter Of personal privilege, the
law.
Added to the depression caused by
the enforcement Of the reform move
ment in Fairbanks Is the disquieting
influence of the strike condition. Men
are leaving the camp daily for localities
where work Is freer and labor condi-
tions better. So far no change has been
effected: The organized miners hold to
their demand for an eight-hour day at
IS, while the operators are equally firm
In opposing them. AS a result of this
state of affairs, it is feared that the
Fairbanks output this year will not
exceed 100000.
So crowded is the calendar in Judge
VI hot In Tod
to hear arguments in chambers on
motions before him on Decoration day,
instead Of adjourning court. as is usu
ally the custom. The judge will give
his decisions Friday. An unusual
amount Of litigation has accumulated
in this district and Judge Gunnison is
doing all in his power to dispose of it
as speedily as possible.
Vuko Porovich, condemned to be
hanged two years ago for killing Jacob
JacOni will be reSentenced to hang to-
morrow. An appeal has been pending
in the supreme court of the United
States ever since that time. It was
denied and just remanded to the local
court for final disposition.
Latest reports bring information of
a new strike on NO. Grub creek, tribu-
tary of the Salt Jacket, one mile above
Caribou creek. Edward Owens and mis-
partner are shoveling in ground from
the top, four inches in thickness (which
yields them an average of 10 cents a
pan. Many have left Fairbanks for
this find to stake claims.

STRANGE FOREIGN ANIMALS.

Did you ever see a beast of burden

reindeer, the goat and the horse?
No?
Well, when the Sells-Floto ;. Shows

Andes!
And there are other strange beasts

The beasts of burden of one country
always seem strange and queer to the
people of other countries who employ
different domesticated animals to draw
loads.
team of big American mules, for
instance, would create sensation
in historic India. and, to our eyes, the
sad-eyed cattle of ancient Hindoostan
are interesting curiosities.
The slow, quantity formed oxen and
COWS of India and Ceylon, patiently
dragging their loads at snail's pace,
seem to represent the depressed soul
of ancient civilization.
And the crowds thronging the big
Sells-Floto Shows gaze with tireless
interest upon the mysterious specimen
of India's sacred bull and upon the ze-
bu from Ceylon.
All domestic animals have an ex-
preston peculiar to themselves.

lures of burden, from mysterious lands

their new, strange surroundings of a

GOV. HOKE SMITH A
POSSIBLE NOMINEE

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Fearing
another disastrous split in the demo-
cratic party like that of 1896, w. J.
Bryan, according to close personal
friends here, will not press for a third
nomination for the presidency.
The open activity of the anti-Bryan
wing of the party, which is being man
ifested all over the country, and es-
pecially down south, is having a de-
pressing effect on the Nebraskan and
his followers.
They have become greatly discour-
aged at the outlook and rather than
face another fractional conflict within
the party, Bryan, it is believed, will es-
pouse the cause of some other aspirant,
a southern man.
This view of Bryan's probable course
is held by his closest personal friends,
who have been associated with him in
his two former campaigns.
Bryan will not accept Judge Gray of
Delaware or Senator Daniels of Vir-
ginia, or any reactionary of their
kind.
Personal friends who have talked
with Bryan recently assert he has
given them plain intimation that he
does not wish another nomination I'M
der existing circumstances.
Bryan has mentioned as his favorite
candidate Hoke Smith, governor OF
Georgia. If he could induce his ad-
herents, as we'll as those of the con-
sentative element in the north and east
to accept Governor Smith, Bryan, it is
said, would be content and would ever
make a declaration in favor of this
southern nomination in his own state

ADJUSTMENTS
"sALoME" is COMING.

Much of the interest in the now IA
NOUS tragedy of Salome,' by Oscar
Wilde doubtless centers around the
character frow which the play takes
its name. A beautiful woman, described

said the siren of the house OF Herod.
Let me kiss thy mouth" The prophet
called down the curses of God upon
the degenerate court of Herod, and Sa-
lone, vanquished for the time, seeks
the king. He beseeches her to dance,
and Salome finally consents after she
has received the kings promise that
she may have anything she asks-even
unto half of his kingdom. She dances
for the king and then demands her re-
ward which proves to be the head of
Jokanaan on a solver platter. Herod.
astonished, says: Il pray you Salome,
ask me for something else. Ask of me
the half of my kingdom, and will
give it to you, but ask not of me
what you have asked
There is no alternative and the king
finally yields to the Oft repeated mo-
notonous request: Il ask Of you the
head of Jokanaan." Salome, with a
fanaticism of estasy, hovers over the
death vault and awaits the uncanny
trophy. The black arm of the execu-
toner stretches upward and upon the
metal charger is the head of the
Christian Jokanaan. The SOrcereSs

selves in speculations as to why Mrs.
warran's Profession was written.
There can be but one sane excuse OF
fered-the sordid desire to make money
nv catering to the sensational. But one
doesn't find half the sensation IN the
play there is in the advance coih-
ments. Instead there is lot or vulgar
rubbish. interspersed with swlll Darrel
wit, designed to give to the depraveo
taste the full moneys worth.
As to the much heralded shocks and
thrills. there are none. There is no
emotional work of merit, no passion
trends, nothing above the commonplace
immortality, which isn't noisy enough
to startle, or unusual enough to jar.
AS to the effectiveness of the play II
depends upon the receptiveness OF the
individual. To the police reporter the
story is so old as to bring the contempt
Of familiarity. To the innocent and re-
fined. it is a tasteless blank-a some
thing so utterly vulgar as to be not
understandable. There were many
women and young people In that audi
ence last night who could no more re-
alize the gross differences offered than
they could assemble the plot to the idea
OF the author. So"
There is no moral to the piece
nothing to exhibit except that one de-
sire, to make money. Money is the
root of the play and the objective OF
the playwright. People who con-
tributed to the cause last night are
lust those sort of people for whom
the author cunningly spread his net.
Sordid desire pandered to morbid Gu
riosity. The owners of the play got
the money. The audience stretched its
neck and paid for the rubber privilege.
The company goes out of town some
weather. Those of us left behind have
the supreme satisfaction of telling our
neighbors we saw Mrs. Warren's Pro-
fession."

tremely nervous today, not having
