Then came the strictures on the conditions with regard to AL aska's delegate as the governor sees them and while Delegate Gale was not mentioned by name the governor said: "I hope Corson will be elected and I am working for him. We want a delegate who will work instead of sit around"

Executive Government is Only Desired
 Delegate AblityNor Ambition"

Seattle, June 16-"Only those want ing to run dance halls and dives are opposed to me and are working for territorial government for Alaska.n
 Such is is the manner in which Governor Hoggatt of Alaska charac- terizes the political conditions exist ing in the territory with regard to his own policies, and he further pursues the matter by declaring: Ut is time Alaska had in congress delegate of ability instead of one with neither ability nor ambition."
 Governor Hoggatt arrived in Seat tie last night and this morning gave out long interview in which he dis cussed at considerable length condi- Cioiis III <AIaoha IIuuI Ou.. ,,~ r point. The governor declared that if every person in Alaska was in favor of home rule it would be impossible to obtain the creation of law to this effect. Continuing the governor said:

EMPHASIZES 10
 THREATEN PANAMA

Washington, June 18-President Roosevelt this morning issued orders to the navy department to have the battleships New Hampshire and Idaho immediately made ready to depart for Panama. The battleships will carry 800 infantry soldiers who will be landed on the Isthmus and who, if necessary, will act as judges at the election to be held on the Isthmus shortly.
 For some time past the state de- partment has been in communication with this country's representative on the Isthmus with regard to the com ing elections. It is known that the Isthmian government has been pre- pairing to use repeaters at the elec- tion and some days ago the president sent notification that this govern ment will permit of nothing in the nature of unfairness. At that time 1t was declared that if necessary force would be used, and the orders issued this morning are considered as confir- nation of the belief that the Isthmian government has paid no attention to the warning.

CRUISERS HAVE HARD
 EXPERIENCE AT SEA

Bremerton, June t7--Cruisers Col orado and Pennsylvania arrived here today from San Francisco after the hardest voyage of their careers. Their plates are strained and their tunnels are blistered, the latter being caused by the fierce heat from the fires necessary to maintain headway
 It was shortly after steaming out of the Golden Gate that the cruisers ran into the storm which continued with increasing severity until off Cape Flattery. At times huge waves swept completely over the vessels but the officers say that the cruisers behaved .sdmiarbly and proved their seaworth- mess in every point.

of Valdez. That these bills failed to pass is, in the expressed opinion of Judge Smith, due in great measure to the antagonistic attitude of Governor Hoggatt. The speaker referred to the interview given in Seattle by Gov ernor Hoggatt and said that the lat ter has during his official career made more foolish and insulting remarks, if all published interviews are correct, than any governor in the history of the United States.
 Judge Smith closed an address fre- quently interrupted by cheers, by an appeal for all voters to rally to the support of Delegate Gale and give him their unqualified endorsement at the polls, saying that he more nearly represents Valdez than any man who Is a candidate for the office and that man from the Philippines can as well represent the Third district as can man from Nome.
 E. F.. Ritclfie, the next speaker, said that he is personally friendly to John Corson, to whom he referred as "Poor John Corson," supporting the use of the adjective by maintaining that the Hoggatt support means the blasting of the Corson political hopes. MT. Ritchie then gave few details of the Ketchikan convention, admit ting that the faction he represented trusted to much to the supposed hon esty of the opposition with the result that the opposition encompassed the political undoing of the trustful fact ion by methods unspeakable in their lowness.
 'lf Governor Hoggatt is not in the pay of the Guggenheims, then he had better take in his sign," said the speaker who went on to point out the servility with which the governor executes the behests of the Guggen- helms and of Capt. D. H. Jarvis, the latter being characterized as "Gug- genheim lobbiest who is the cheapest four-husher who ever made a reputa- tion in Alaska, and whose only achievement was to get the salmon tax removed thus depriving the schools of the territory of big rev. enue, and a consequent fattening of the coffers of the salmon monopo- lists"
 MT. Ritchie concluded by pointing out the necessity of starting the cam paign now leaving nothing undone to let the lawmakers at Washington know that Gale and not Hoggatt rep resents the best sentiment of Alaska.
 Jesse Miller, mining man who Is interested in copper properties on Knights island was the next speaker and he declared that while he has no personal acquaintance with Delegate Gale that he Is familiar with the dele gate's record in congress and believes him to be man who is entitled to the confidence of the people of Alas ka and to reelection.

New York, June 18 -- Governor Hughes has filed charges against Dis trict Attorney Jerome in which the latter is charged with gambling. The specific charge is that during the progress of the Thaw trial District Attorney Jerome engaged in tho heinous pastime of shaking dice for $1 throw.
 It is the purpose of the governor to press the charge and interested fol- lowers of the scrap between the dis trict attorney and the state's exeou- tive are anxiously awaiting the out como. Jerome gives the governors accusation little consideration.

| urged those present to educate their friends to vote for Gale and to make themselves self-constituted cam paigners to the effect that the man. who the speaker said, better than any one else in public life knows the needs of Alaska may be returned to the office he now holds.
 V. l.. Paine, called upon by the chairman, stated that he has known Thomas Gale for seven years and that he remembers when the miners on a creek in the Tanana country were without food and that Gale was named to take charge of the money and go to Fairbanks for supplies '"This," said the speaker, "showed what confidence the miners had in Tom Gale then and l have never learned that this confidence has been IOst.o
 Mayor Brown was the next speaker and it was he who stampeded the meeting Tn behalf of territorial gov ernment. Mayor Brown said that he had not been taken into the confi- dence of those who called the meet ing and he went on to say if his be- ing asked to speak at this meeting was a joke because of his interest in the proposed meeting to nominate a non-partisan candidate for delegate all he had to say was that his object in the proposed convention was to arouse interest in the necessity of having in congress man who repre- sented Alaska as an entirety and not one whose knowledge of conditions is canfined to any particular locality.
 Mayor Brown said that he voted tor Gale two years ago and that he intends voting for him this year and that he believes Gale to be right in his dispute with Governor Hoggatt inasmuch as Gale was elected by the people and should properly be the ir spokesman. Mayor Brown then made a spirited appeal for home rule and outlined his idea which Is that such q form government can be established "'pi'oup Vho cApohoiNo ih@ciihSly necessary in a territory on the out side. Briefly Mayor Browns idea is to have sort of commission appoint ed representing each district of AL aska and to have this commission meet at stated intervals and prepare such laws as are deemed advisable, these laws to, if necessary be ratified by an act of congress.
 The speaker said that he Is pre- pared to accept the truth of the charges that Governor Hoggatt is a servant of the big interests of Alaska and that his attitude towards home rule is prompted by the fear of these interests that such form of govern ment will increase their taxes. He then pointed out how the revenues necessary to defray the expences of a modified form of home rule can be cas- fly raised.

The governor expressed the opinion that much of the legislation asked by Alaskans is unreasonable and said that congress is willing to pass such legislation as is really required by the best interests of the territory. He believes that the coal land law means the expenditure of much money in Alaska.
 Friends in Seattle of John Corson are unit in condemning the gover- nor for the utterances he has made, and they fear that Corson's chances of election will be completely nulli- fled in consequence of the Hoggatt declaration concerning territorial ~------.----->. rnrann is makino his attitude in favor of home government for Alaska one of his strongest bids for election and it is pointed out that this must fall ol it's own weakness when weighted with the support of the Hoggatt machine and with the Hoggatt strictures concerning those urging territorial government.

All doubt as to the sentiment in Valdez with regard to the candidacy of Thomas Gale for delegate to con- gross to succeed himself was dispelled Tuesday night when, at the close of a largely attended mass meeting, the foregoing resolutions were passed without dissenting voice. And by the same token that establishes the position Thomas Gale holds in the opinion of the people of Valdez there was also established the bitter ani- mostly existing toward Governor Hoggatt and all that savers of his polluting touch. Nearly every men, tion of the governors name was the signal for some vocal indication of che contempt in which he is held by those who attended the meeting.
 To empasize the falsity of Governor Hoggatt's statements when he de- clares that only the dissoJute of Alas ka desire home rule the meeting last night went on record not only as be- ing in favor of but in using every effort to have, in every precinct in Alaska, a vote taken to determine the attitude of the people with regard to territorial government. If possi- ble this vote will be taken on the day of the election to select the congress sional delegate and committee con- sisting of Mayor Brown, Judge Ed mund Smith and w. H. Whittlesey was appointed to draw up resolution to this effect and to communicate with the precinct leaders throughout the territory urging action toward this purpose.
 It was good sized and highly rep resentive assemblage of citizens that crowded Mckinley hall when Dr. F. M. Boyle called last nights meeting to order. There were professional men, mining men and business men present, men having the welfare of the territory at heart and who have made personal sacrifices that the best interests of Alaska might be ad- vanced. Dr. Boyle briefly stated the purpose of meeting to be for the en- 'dorsement of Delegate Gale for re- election and to further demonstrate to the world at large that this part of Alaska at least is not under the domination of any one man. The speaker praised Delegate Gale, de- 'claring him to be man of honor and ability and one who has done his best in the face of innumerable diff = eulties and in the face of opposition from the governor of the territory to gain from congress something of beni- fit for Alaska. ...
 Judge Smith dwelt upon the integ- rity of Delegate Gale and said that the latter has, during his term of office, introduced into congress five bills having as their object the benefif

With most beginners In gardening poor
old Nature has to do the most OF the
work anyway. lf she were as lazy as
most men. there would he mighty little
vegetation In the world.
An old house that never WAS pretty
and has not improved with age may
be made as coy and inviting looking
as the most up 10 date and charming
bungalow. and that simply by the. ju-
dicious placing OF few shrubs and
vines. People might save money from
carpenters. contractors and architects
by investing in few garden books
and seeds. After ill Nature Is the
best builder and decorator of US all.
As grass covers the wounds In the
face Of earth. so vines hide architec-
tural defects. Some houses that seem
