The Alaska prospector., 1907-10-03

Canton, O., Oct. This city is bedecked with decorations, and immense crowds turned out to wit ness the unveiling of the new Me- Kinley tomb. President Roosevelt arrived early in the morning to preside at the services. There are 15,0O0 visitors in the city.
 Washington, Oct. 1-Admiral Evans has created q small commo- tions in navy circles by refusing to follow the progtam of battle laid down by the board of strategy, claiming that his own tactics are better:
 Seattle, Oct. 1-=A new railroad to the Katalla coal fields is pro jected now by what is known as the English Company. They have incorporated under the name of the Katalla Antracite Coal Fields Railroad Co.,, with q apitalization of ten million dollars, to build railroad from Controller bay to the coal, and also to construct road from Nome to some coal deposits on Seward peninsula. Controller bay is few miles down the coast from Katalla, and it is said that by doing some dredging a fair harbor can be made there.
 The Katalla Herald certainly gives evidence that it's principal mission is to boom Katalla, defend the Guggen- helms; and knock everybody who dares to hold views to the contrary. In it's support of the Guggs one its greatest and commonest arguments is that one man or set of men.
 While this may be all very true, we would like to call the attention of the Herald, that it appears quite evident the few passes, which control the en trance from the coast to the inside. are not too large or too many to be con- trolled by one man or set of men. Around this little city of ours we have just had it brought to our attention, very forcibly, that even if the Guggs cannot control the whole of Alaska they are trying mighty hard to control the most necessary portion of it. What is the whole of Alaska good for if you cannot get to it, and get out Cf it, with the products of enterprise and labor No dear Herald we are on to the little game here in Valdez, and this time we are going to have a show down and see the cards.

SAYS TAYLOR IS NOT SINCERE.
Kentucky Prosecutor Says It Is Cross
Examination He Fears.

LOUISVILLE. August o3.-The PROPOSE
ton under which ex-Gov w. s. Taylor saws
he is willing to return to Kentucky and
testify for Caleb Powers and also to stand
trial on the charge of completely in the as
sassination of William Goebel, Is not taken
seriously by the democratic officeholders
and politicians of the state, especially those
now holding Office at Frankfort
commemorative Attorney r. B. Frank
lin, who first Offered immunity to- Taylor,
and who later asked Gov. Beckham to CO.
operate with him. said yesterday that the
statement emanating from Taylor and his
advisers at Indianapolis was made for .the
purpose of prejudicing the people of the
whole country in his favor by rehashing
false charges against the Kentucky courts
and its officials generally. Franklin saws
it Is not the fear that the offer Of immunity
will be violated. but cross-examination in
open court that causes Taylor to shrink
from returning to Kentucky.
Caleb Powers is equally certain that
Taylor is sincere in his proposition. and
says the state officials should be willing to
accept If they are willing that he and Tay-
lor should have fair trial.

NAVALACCIDENTBOARD
NOW ARRIVED IN THIS CITY AT
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.

The special naval board appointed after
the Georgia disaster to make a study of
conditions in the turrets of the naval ships
with the purpose of devising means to pre-
vent ,f1arebacks and other accidents of the
kind arrived in Washington this morning
and was assigned temporary quarters at
the Navy Department. The board Is COM
posed of Lieut.. Commanders Kaiser and
Vogelgasang and Lieut.. Palmer, all selected
because of their personal experience in the
battleship turrets. and being limited to
very short period of time in which to COM
plete the important work intrusted to 1t,
1t has been covering a great deal Of
ground in the two weeks during which 1t
has been trying to solve the problems pre-
scented to them. Although nothing to that
effect appears in the precept under which
the board is proceeding to officially disclose
that fact. it is understood that the. purpose
of the department in requiring the members
to submit their report by September 10 at
the latest was to enable the naval con-
structors to make such changes in the in
terror of the turrets and handling rooms
and magazines of the big battleships which
are to make the notable voyage around
South America as are necessary to insure
the ships against accidents such as hap
pened on the Georgia.
Already the board has personally inspect
ed most of the ships of the Atlantic fleet
while 1t was on the New England coast
and at New York: and yesterday it spent
the entire day at Hampton roads continu-
Ing the INSPECTION. The fact is that the
fleet actually represents in it's composition
about fifteen wears of the most rapid de-
velopment in naval designing, and conse-
quently 1t includes many types of turret
mechanism. and each must be- studied sep
arately in order to enable the board to report
just what changes, If any. are necessary
to make that particular type safe against
accident. There are still few ships of the
fleet to be inspected. and when that is done
the board will settle down to collate the
great mass of material which 1t has COL
lected and endeavor to draw therefrom the
substance of report which will satisfy
the department.

threatening to club any one who interfered
with alim. Faulker was taken to the Man
haitian avenue police court, where Magis-
trate Manner held him on a charge Of homi-
eide to await the coroners investigation.
After the child was dressed by her mother
she was told to go to the front door and
wait until the parents got ready to take her
to church. The child crossed the roadway
to speak to some Of her little playmates
and when her parents came down she ran
back as car 1858 of the Greenpoint line
came along on its way to South Ferry.
The car was of the vestibule style and to
protect himself from the dust Motorman
Faulker had closed the window. He told
the police after the fatality that the suns
rays against the glass blinded him and that
when the Metzger child ran in front of his
car he did not see her until it was too late.

months ago the boat broke in halves, al
most causing the death Of her owner and
mechanic. The engine. which went to the
bottom. was raised and placed in the new
boat. which lacks two feet in length of the
original. 1t is said that the Den is the fast
