FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY

The KallaZeny woman, who was adjudged insane by jury in Judge Stackpole's court yeserday, and com mitted to Mt Tabor. was taken away by deputy marshal Campbell, on the City of Seattle, last night. The husband, whom most people here hold responsible for the deplorable condition of the poor woman, was taken along as guard, 1t being considered the best means that could be adopted to rid Ketchikan of his presence. He seems to have absolute control of the woman, who Is either in mortal fear of him, or else possessed of loving and forgiving disposition born of diseased mind. Of course, he will not be permitted in or about the asylum, and the physicians here best acquainted with her case, think that with rest, care and proper treatment. she may re. cover her mental health.

Vancouver, B. C., April 24-The labor unions of British Columbia are uniting to secure the enforcement of the alien labor law against Amer- cans. This movement is the result of the United States immigration authorities enforcing the American alien labor law so rigidly. Hitherto, while the law has been recognized, it has not been enforced against fishermen and cannery employees who have been allowed freedom in coming and going on both sides of the line. Recently, however, this order of things has changed on the other side of the line, and to get even the labor element of this city is heading movement to protect the laboring men of Canada.
 Chicago, April 24-The Daily News last night printed full page story stating that w. R. Hearst, the millionaire newspaper owner and professional candidate for office, had his plans laid to step into thu National Democratic Convention and working the dark horse racket grab the nomination for president. Hearst recently made the statement at a banquet in this city that he would run as an independent candi- date for the presidency. It is now believed by local Democrats that this statement was made as blind to quiet the suspicious of the Den O. cracy. Hearst figures that, with his papers distributed all over the country as they are, he will be able to win out against any man the Re- publicans can put up. excepting Roosevelt, of course.

The postoffice department is now negotiating with the owners of the steamer Humboldt to carry mail. Some weeks ago the smaller post office officials in Alaska filed vigor- ous protest with the postal depart ment against the Humboldt carrying stamped letters. The complaint was based on the matter of cancellation. Most of the postmasters in Alaska are paid on this basis, and they com plained that whereas they sold the stamps used for letters mailed on the Humboldt they lost the cancellation. Following this, it is claimed, the postal authorities opened negotiations for a Humboldt mail contract Juneau Dispatch. And thereby hangs tale. The Humboldt owners de- clined to carry mail at less rate of compensation than that paid to other ships for the performance of the same service, and in response to an offer of half rate, offered to carry mail each trip free of charge which offer was in turn declined by the depart ment-and there we are

But then it doesn't matter very much how the soldiers are distributed; one man government is as likely to need them in one place as much as another.

 That settles it. At a meeting of the Juneau Common Council, last Fri day evening Mayor Forrest stated that he had talked with Gov. Hoggatt on the question of change in the federal law so as to allow municipal authorities to control matters within their boundaries, and that the gover- nor had informed him that he was opposed to any such change. By and by the mayor of Juneau will tumble to the fact that the relief he seeks can be secured in only one way-the way that will make all Alaska, outside as we'll as inside the incorporated towns, self-governing territory.

OF the Lawyers.

San Francisco, April 10. - When
the trial of Abraham Ruef was re-
sumed Talesman Frederick II. Coon,
salesman, was examined. He was
temporarily passed until the roll is pro-
dUced in evidence that he is on the
assessment list. James Otis, q COM
mission merchant was next examined.
In the course of an exhaustive exam

that he had gained from newspaper
reading a very strong impression that
Ruef was dishonest and corrupt man.
But" said the juror, II could put that
impression aside long enough to give
him fair trial"
Court Expresses Inclination.
Though Achs question was adroitly

manded Judge Dunno. The most in

Otis whether if any contributions to

the men fought Baldwin Is said to
have had an easy time of 1t and had
the fight gone to a finish Baldwin could
easily have put his man out.
Baldwin then started in with Billy
Roche. a Boston boy who has been
starring in fights in the upper PENN
sular of Michigan. Roche was clearly
outclassed. but was willing to fight
He was being so pitifully pummeled
however, in the fourth round that his

fights Baldwin was so far the superior
