SOAP BOX
COLD FEET

Fred Beckley took the Bethel-King
soap-box at l p. m. today to call on
candidates he saw standing about the
street corners to mount the pedestal
and talk.
Charlie Achi and others were adorn-
ing the street-corners and Beckley told
the crowd that, since the time before
election was so short, it behooved the
candidates, no matter what their par
ties, to face the people and give their
views that it was waste of time to
listen to soap-box orators when can
didates were hanging round and mere
ly listening. He intimated cold-feet.

HIT WITH
A BRICK

Fave arr a brick at inn" is an
old expression which Manager Robert
r. Reidford of the Bishop Trust Com

to his temporary discomfort.
Mr.. Reidford was engaged in work
at his desk in the Bishop Trust Office
Immediately adjoining the Japanese
bank in course of construction at the
corner of Merchant and Bethel streets,
when there was a crashing window

of the breaking glass and so escaped
the full force of the brick.
Carelessness in moving plank OF
the scaffolding of the new building
was the cause of the brick going
through the window and which might
have inflicted severe injury.

J. 5. ROADS QUIT
 ORIENTAL BUSINESS

Washington, Dec. 15-True to their threat, the American railroads here tofore hauling freight destined to, or received from the Orient, have aban- doned this line of business. Today is the date set for the roads to file freight rates with the interstate commerce commission, and the only line to give a schedule of rates on Oriental freight is the Canadian Pacific. The other roads file only the increased rates in transcontinental traffic, and reiterate their previously announced determi. nation to withdraw from Oriental business.
 When months ago the interstate commerce commission announced that roads hauling Oriental freight would be obliged to make public the rates, and to base acco rdingly their transcontiuental rates on freight shipped between points in the United States, the big roads of this country announced that such course meant that they would be obliged to retire from Oriental business. It was stated in this connection tha: in order to make possible the maintenance of the American merchant marine plying to Oriental ports it is necessary to make q much lower freight rate on Oriental merchandise than # is possible to make with profit on freight trans ported between points in this coun- try.
 At the time the railroads made an- nouncement of their determination to quit hauling Oriental freight it was believed to bo only threat to induce the interstate commerce to modify its ruling. However, the railroads declare that their announcement was nude in good faith, and that the de. termination will be adhered to. Those railroads owning steamship lines to the Orient are preparing to dispose of their vessels.

Fearful TumuIt Is Occasion ed By Result Of Bidding
 For Government Job
BOND IS OBJECT OF ATTACK
War Department May Be Called Upon To Effect Final Adjust
 ment Of Trouble

When George w. Nelson decided to bid on government contract for hauling supplies into the telegraph stations along the Valdez-F Fairbanks trail he little supposed that he was committing lese majesty. But he was doing it, and he did it, and shortly there was most tumultuous uproar on the part of the competitors. The uproar is not yet among those things that were, and it is possible that the innermost sanctum of the war de- partment may be called upon to effect a final determination of the person entitled to the contract.
 The trouble started when it was found that Nelson had underbid his nearest competitor by little more than $500. Then it was that those who also ran began to start some thing. Inasmuch as great deal is nominated in the bond exacted by the government, the opposition at tackled the bond offered by Nelson. TheE affairs began to stir. The telephone wires between Valdez and Fort Liscum sizzled and glowed from the molecular activity necessitated by the transmission of facts, near facts and transformation having to do with the contract bond contro- versy.
 Surety after surety was rejected, some of them being among the most substantial citizens of Valdez, but at last it appeared that the also-rans would be obliged to quit for lack of amunition.
 But not so. To the contrary, it is declared that the assault is being waged with vigor and cablegrams, and that not entirely repulsed by the unsatisfactory result of weeks fili- bustering the also-rans are yet in hopes of defeating the Nelson ex- pectations.

VENEZUELA LOSES
 COAST GUARD SHIP
Dutch Cruiser GeIderIand Makes Capture Without
 Firing Single Shot

Willemstadt, Dec. 15-Without the discharge of single gun and without the loss of a single life the Dutch government today won it's first vic-
 ory in it's trouble with Venzuela. In sight of the fort guarding Puerto Ca bello, on the Venezuelan coast, the Dutch cruiser Gelderland captured the Venezuelan coast guard ship Alix, put her crew ashore and then lowed the prize to this port.
 It was early in the morning when the cruiser sighted the Alix, and the latter made no attempt to escape. Neither did her crew offer the least resistan ce and the capture was une- ventful. The cruiser was stripped for action and it was believed that the first gun of the war would be fired, and that the metal of Castro's navy would be tested.

 Promise To Wed
POLICE COME TO RESCUE

San Francisco, Dec. 16-So battered about the head as to be unrecogniz- able, and due for much attention on the part of a surgeon, Fred Vansick- lin of Victoria, E. C., was this morn- ing removed from the temporary home of his erstwhile fancee and locked in jail. At the same time the fiancee, Mrs. Sadie Campbell of Se- attle, badly wounded by bullet dis charged from a revolver in the hands of Vansicklen, was taken to hos pital. Mrs. Campbell is responsible for th" injuries to Nansicklin, and they were inflicted after she had been shot
 According to the story told by the woman, who will he the first of the two to completely recover, she and Vansicklin have been engaged. Re- gently she came to San Francisco, and Vansicklin followed her. A few days ago the lovers had falling out, and Mrs. Campbell threatened to break the engagement.
 This morning Vansicklin came to the rooms occupied by Mrs. Camp bell, and urged her to forgive him and to consent to an immediate marri- age. She refused and then Vansick- lin drew a revolver and shot her.
 Mrs. Campbell was severely woun- ded but she armed herself with a chair and before Vansicklin could fire again she knocked the revolver from his hand. Then she struck him over the head, the while calling loudly for help. As Vansicklin struggled from the floor, to which he was knocked by the first blow struck by his husky fiancee, she landed on him again, and then growing frantic she belabored him with an incessant rain of blows, which were falling vigorously and rythmically when the police entered.

 CRITICS OF NAVY

 Superior Class

New York, Dec. 15-Admiral Rob- ley D. Evans at banquet in this city last night spoke as a defender of the American navy, and in reply to the criticism of Henry Reuterdahl, the magazine writer who has so often charged the navy department with inetficiency and with bureaucratic disregard of suggestions made by off, cers in the active service. Admiral Evans declared that the battleships now under construction are in every way superior to the English Dread naught, as is also the case with those constructed along the same lines and recently launched.
 Admiral Evans remarks were con fined to the battleships built recently, so far as specific statements were con- cerned, but in a general way he took exception to all criticisms that have been passed on the navy.

 Opposition to the rule of the shah has grown to such an extent as to re- suit in open and organized rebellion, and today the conditions in Persia are critical in the extreme.
