F|REBUGS CAUSE
 PANIC IN VICTORIA
Twelve Buildings in Business Center of City Are Ignited
 in One Night.

Victoria, June 22-Fire-bugs threw this city into a panic last night, start ing twelve blazes within the period of half an hour. None of the fires thus started proved serious but the fire department was kept busy and only by strenuous efforts accom- panied by assistance from citizens was serious contlagration averted. In each case the evidence of incen- diarism is indisputable.
 Fifty extra policemen have been appointed but their best efforts have failed to obtain evidence pointing to- ward the perpetrator, perpetrators, of the outrage. The: officers are us- ing every endeavor and will continue at work on the affair until some solu- tion is reached. The majority of the merchants of the city have engaged private watchmen and it will fare ill with any one caught acting in sus- picious manner around buildings.
 All of the fires of last, night were started in the business section of the city.

REPORTS FROM INNOKO
 ARE NOT UNANIMOUS

That the Innoko boom which re- ceived impetus yesterday by press reports from Seattle ought to have q string to it is indicated by the follow ing message received today by Fred Chapman from P. J. Le Blanc, of Fairbanks, who has sent several men and lot of money into the Innoko country;
 Several hundred reports. Not as good as first. Have faith"
 Meanwhile the upper Sutitna dis trict, of which Valdez creek is the center, sends out more definite reports and it is far more accessible than the Innoko, both from Fairbanks and Valdez. It is believed by mining men in Valdez that the Susitna offers far better chances than the Innoko. They urge that the only inducement for prospector looking for placer dust to go to the Innoko rather than the Susitna is that "The oxen far tbest from home have the longest horns."

.TAFT'S VICTORIES
 WILDLY RECEIVED
Nomination Unanimous After Ballot Shows FutiIity
 of Opposition

Chicago, June 19-Never in it's his tory has Chicago been the scene of such demonstration as took place last night after the nomination to the presidency of William H. Taft. From the moment the word of Taft's suc- cess came from the convention hall prndomonium reigned throughout the downtown portion of the city and the uproar continued to increase in magnitude until an early hour this morning.
 The scene in the convnetion hall was also history making epoch. Taft was placed in nomination by Senator Burrows who reviewed the was secretary's work in the Philip pines and said that he is the man to carry out the policies of the present administration. Burrows was fre- quently interrupted by cheers and cries of"Taft" and when he had com pleted the widest enthusiasm swept through the hall. ~-.-- ........ --.-
 Supporters of Charles Warren Fair banks had the modification of hear ing the name of their candidate greet ed with misses and cat-calls. Fair banks was placed in nomination by Governor Hanley, of Indiana who, declared angrily that unless the hiss ing ceased he would talk until mid night. At this stage of proceedings, Boutelle, of Illinois, interrupted, placing Cannon in nomination with the cry "Uncle Joe first" This was the signal for another outbreak but at last the convention settled into some semblance of dignity and the nominations proceeded. The long threatened demonstration for Roose- welt failed to materialize, and this in greatmeasure is due to the strenuous efforts of the presidents personal rep resentatives. =
 Taft's nomination was made unani- nous after the first ballot demon- ;strated that the other candidates were hopelessly out of the. running. The vote was:
 Taft, TOP, Knox, 68, Hughes, 87, Cannon, 5s, Fairbanks, 40, La Toilette 25, Foraker, 18, Roosevelt, 8, absent, 1, ". .,-,....-... .-., j. |. Indiana was the only state not giv- ing Taft vote. Pennsylvania split. giving Roosevelt and Taft 1.

JUDGE REID TALKS OF
 SALOONS IN ALASKA

Seattle, June 20-Just before de- parting for Chicago Judge Silas H. Reid of the Third judicial district of Alaska gave out an interview con- corning his policy with regard to the saloon question in the territory. Judge Reid says that he will not tol- crate the so-called hurrah camp which is generally composed mainly of saloons, the proprietors of which will go to almost any extreme to get the miner's money, and that he will not permit to continue in existence saloons of such a character because of their degrading influence.
 Judge Reid has, however, no fight on against that class of saloons, the .proprietors of which protect their patrons and observe the laws. To the contrary such saloonmen will receive the moral and legal support of the court.

PLAN FOR FOURTH
 WEARS COMPLETION
Chamber of Commerce Com mittee Arranging Details
 of Athletic Program.

"We are coming with bells. Details on Portland"
 Such is the message received last evening by Manager l.. F. Shaw of the base ball team from Manager J. E. Fitzpatrick, of the Seward nine and it is now assured that d hotly contested affray will on the nations birth anniversary settle the suprem- acy of the teams with regard to abili- ty in the national game.
 While, so far as sports are con- cerned, the ball game is to be the chief event of the Fourth, the com mittee in charge has made such ar rangements as oven at this date give promise that the day in Valdez will be one of hiarity with something do- ing all the time. With the exception of an hour or so in the early morning, when the committee plans to awake the citizens by a little noise, the fore noon will be given over to the fire men at least such portion of it. as is required to carry out the dedication program at the town hall. After that the athletes of the town will be given their inning and until it is time for the ball game this part of the pro- gram will be a continuous performance affair.
 The program is not completed as yet but there will be races of all char. acter, fat mans, woman's, children's, obstacle and the like. There will also be several horse races, one of them being for women riders. The com. mittee will in a day or so have pre- pared q complete list of events an( the prizes to be awarded, together with the names of those who have contributed the prizes.
 The committee is negotiating with the idea of having one or more box ing contests but this possible feature of the day is not yet settled. Also several owners of fast motor boats are expressing willingness to back their various opinions with money and settle the question of which is the fastest boat by holding q small regatta on the Fourth.

BRYAN LAUGHS AT
 . (, .. p. PLATFORM
Apostle of Democracy Says
 Document Is Thing of Treachery and Weakness.

Lincoln, June 23-William Jennings Bryan, high apostle of Democracy can see nothing but treachery and weakness in the platform adopted by the delegates to the republican nat ional convention. The anti-injunc- tion plank in particular calls forth denunciation from Mir. Bryan and he declares it to be most transpar- ent fraud the only purpose of which is to deceive labor and he warns labor to beware.
 Bryan asserts that the plank assumes that some one is attacking the integ- rity of the courts, which is untrue, and that behind this subterfuge lies much of danger, particularly to the labor element of the country. He purposes making a thorough expose of the alleged plot in the next issue of the Commoner.
 Ever since the republican platform was completed MT. Bryan has been making thorough analysis of the document. He ridicules the act of the republicans in refusing to insert the publicity plank which, he says, was done at the request of Mir. Taft, and says that in general the platform indicates that the republican party is in full retreat from the principles so long it's stronghold.
 Editorially the Commoner will caM Taft the father of government by in- junction and will declare that labor can expect no relief from him.
 Bryan is having phonograph firm in New Jersey make records of ten of his speeches and purposes sending them broadcast through the country and to sell them to the democratic organizations. The records will in- clude his criticism of the republican platform.
