the vast expanse of the territory that 1t would be unwise to provide that a comparat atively small population in Southeastern Alaska should elect representatives and legislate for the enormous territory reaching from British Columbia clear to the Behring Sea and the Arctic Ocean.
 Local self government or home rule in a country SO large as Alaska with . scattered nomadic population, fn- tense local and sectional feeling. should not be given serious considera- ton until the population and develop cd resources of the country have i'm creased to such an extent as to war rant the division of the territory into more limited areas where the inhabi- tants of each would have an orpor- tunity of becoming acquainted and where there would be some degree of similarity of interests.
 Before such an experiment an earn est effort should be made to secure a larger percentage of permanent resi- dents and endeavor to attach some of the population to the soil.
 My own judgment is that the only way properly to develop Alaska for the benefit of everybody in 1t is to bring the territory under the manage ment of one bureau and department in Washington so that all the officials in the government shall have to re- spond to one head"

HUSBAND IS HELD
MUTILATED BODY OF WOMAN IS
 FOUND.
Mrs. Martha Foster Believed to Have Been Murdered And Coroner's Jury Recommends Arrest
 of Her Spouse.

Spartanburg, s. C.. Sept. 30--The discovery early today of the mutilated body of Mrs. Martha Foster, covered beneath a mound of brush and pine needles in a strip of woodland north of Beaumont. a mill village. near this city, has revealed revolting murder and left the police authorities at sea.
 Doc Foster. her husband, Is held to- night In the county jail. awaiting fur ther investigation of the case.
 The coroner's Jury rendered a ver- dict tonight to the effect that the woman came to her death by bxing beaten in the head with some blunt instrument and recommended that Doc Foster, her husband. be held until the circumstances surrounding the case are further developed.
 Foster was seen with his wife Tues day afternoon in the woods where her body was found and he Is known to have been with her that morning in the Beaumont mill village. He denies any knowledge of the crime and stated today that he last saw his wife Tues day evening in a hack with white man and negro driver. She told him she was going to a neighboring mill village to see some friends Foster says he did not know either of the men in the hack.
 Mrs. Foster, who was Miss Martha Sudderth. of Greenville county, had been in the state asylum for the in- sane for six months and returned here only two weeks ago. She had six children. some of whom are in an orphanage iR Greenville.
 The police believe the murder was not committed in the woods but that the body had been carried there. Physicians say the woman had not been dead more than forty eight hours. The skull was crushed In several places. one arm was broken and the fingers badly cut.
 Foster at one time was a successful farmer at Boiling Springs, in this county. He Is, sixty years of age When arrested today he was seated in his room reading the Bible and ex- pressed little surprise when told that his wife had been murdered
 He was taken to where the body lay in the woods and after viewing 1t in an indifferent fashion said; "Yes. that's her"

GRAIN TAKES ANOTHER FLYER Wheat And Oats Prices
 Soar. EASTERN INTERESTS BLAMED Pool's Holdings Sufficient To Con-
 trol Market. Advance of Fourteea Cents Recorded in September Wheat, While septem-
 ber Oats Rise to
 Fifty Cents.

Chicago. Sept. 30-The wheat squeeze which disturbed the ennui of specu- lative routine with a fourteen-cent ad- vance in the September option on the Board of Trade here today lacked none of the features of former years when "Old Hutch" Cudahy. Partridge and others were wont to explode bomb shells under the trade.
 It was the cleanest cut of any cor ner in many years. 1t came out of a clear sky. September wheat had been tagging toward the end with every evil dence of ebbing vitality. For a month there had been practically nothing in the option. September closed yester- day at $1.0s and sluggishly slept through most of today's session slight ly above that figure.
 In a vague sort of way there was known to be a short interest out but that some particular individual or clique had secured control of the long side was undreamed of by all not in the deal. The trader or traders in control are said to have held about l. 100000 bushels while the scattered short interest ran between 5.ooo.0oo and 10000. .000. according to the aver age expert guk ,s. In volume this does not begin to compare with some deals which Board of Trade history reveals. but in compact efficiency 1t is said to be the peer of any.
 Riot of shorts Begins.
 September was at TOT when the riot of shorts began. Conditions had been bearish and although September had held sturdily in price. shorts still be- lieved the break would come. But the break did not materialize.
 One long with 5000 bushels to his credit snatched his profit at 1.1o and then watched what became of his sale Tn the next thirty minutes 1t changed hands twenty-eight times on an ad' yancinr scale. The last man who se- curied 1t paid 1.20 for it. Before i rested in his hands. brokerage commis sions alone on the various transaction aggregated $350.
 one of the most influential trader on the board waited until the top ha' | been reached and then delivered tn actual wheat at 120--1o0.0o0 bushels 2 N. Little wheat came out until Il .was reached. At this figure and above l a neat profit was garnered. Deliveries l amounted to 615,000 bushels. going t' scattered interests. It was necessarl to extend the delivery period thre. times before the last account wal squared.
 While several firms are reported tt have profited by the deal. common re- hort credited control of September te an Eastern man. In some quarters II is insisted the deal was manipulated bi Chicago interests. A furore in the oats pit monopolizet attention in the forenoon. Covering oi about 10000 900 bushels Of Septemoel oats sent the price up to DO cents, l. 9 cents higher than the previous c,ose. At the top prices elevator in terests sold heavily and the marker reacted to 4s cents where 1t closed

LEE OLIVER TRIAL
LOUISIANA BOY WHO KILLED AL
 KAMA MAN.
Young Defendant Claims That pr. AL len King, Formerly of GadSden, Ruined His Sister-Al-
 abamians Present.

Franklin, La, Sept. 30.-(Special.)- The trial of Lee Oliver. the 15 year old boy, for the murder of Dr. Allen $. King at Morgan City. La, last May, Is developing into one of the most and noted murder triais in Louisiana in many years.
 In the long tedious examination or witnesses today the State tried to prove that there had been a conspiracy to kill pr. King who came from Gads- den, Ala, and that others were behind the boy who had done the shooting.
 The plea of Leo Oliver is the un- written law. claiming that Dr. King had ruined his sister. Hazel Oifver' a teacher in the public schools at Mor- gan City. Today she testified that she is s1 years old. Young Oliver also pleads self defense so that the de- fense. Is resting 1t hopes both on the unwritten law and self-defense.
 The State closed its case last night. after calling four witnesses to prove the killing of Dr. King by Oliver.
 The defense today placed Mss Hazel Oliver on the stand in defense of her youthful brother. She declared that she had confessed to her brother that pr. King had wronged her anu that Dr. King had boasted that any one whs shot him would have to shoot him II the back.
 Dr. King was . prominent dentist and was social leader. He was an oficer fin the Morgan City naval bri- gnde. Many believe he was the vic- tim of plot and that the guilty par ties succeeded in shifting the blame on him, with the result that he was killed.
 Relatives of pr. King are hero and occupy seats fin the court room at every session. They are represented by Hon. Samuel A. Montgofnery, of New Orleans, one of the ablest crirni- nal lawyers at the Louisiana bar. who is assisting the prosecution.
 The Kings are from Gadsden. Ala. Mrs. Sallie King. mother of the mur- dered man. is a constant attendant at the trial. dressed In deep mourning. Mrs. Charles L. Gum. sister of Dr. King and Dr. Charles L. Gum, or Gadsden. Ala. are here. watching ev- cry proceeding.
