FATALLY HURT
BY AUTOMOBILE
WEALTHY ORANGE GROWERS
SKULL FRACTURED
Motorlst Does What He Can to Aid
Injured Man After Accident,
but His Efforts Are
Unavalllng

Fatally injured and with his physi-
clans expecting his death any minute
w. w. White, a wealthy orange grower
of San Bernardino, is at the California
hospital, victim of automobile speed
ing.
While alighting from trolley car al
Twenty-ninth and Central avenue yes
terday afternoon, Mr.. White was
struck by an automobile driven by L,
l.. Beisecker of Fessenden, Colo. Mr..
Beisecker is tourist and is registered
at the Hotel Alexandria.
Except that, as the police say, he was
travelling at a speed greater than the
law allows, Mr.. Beisecker is not blamed
for the accident. AS the motorist was
running close to the car when his VIC
tim alighted, the collision could not be
avoided. Mr.. Beisecker stopped his ma
chine as soon as he realized he had
struck White and did what he could
for the injured man.
When taken to the receiving hospital
Mr. White was unconscious and has
not since regained his senses. 1t was
found he was suffering from a fracture
of the skull at the base of the brain.
The victim is about rs years old and
lives at 493 South East street, San Ber-
nardino. He had large interests there
and in Missouri. where he made his
home before coming to California. He
was drawn to this part of the country
by the suicide of his brother, who killed
himself in San Bernardino several
years ago.
Mr.. White came to Los Angeles yes
terday to investigate a real estate deal
He had intended to invest money III
this city.
This accident is but another incentive
to the city council to pass the drastic
speed law now before that body. This
ordinance will limit the speed within
a certain prescribed district to twelve
miles an hour and to twenty miles In
other parts of the city, the same con-
ditions that now exist. But the penalty
will be much more severe than Is now
the case. Instead of fixing a minimum
fine OF, IS, a fiat fine of $50 for the first
offense will be demanded For the Sec
ond offense the speeder will have to
servo a term on the chain gang, and
this term will be as long as the council
has authority to make it.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1909-10-07

The above extracts from Presi- dents Taft's speech at Seattle last week hit the nail squarely on the head, and show conclusively the chief executives position on the matter. That position is the only one which any thinking man in Southeastern Alaska can entertain logically. The glamor surround ing the words Home Rule", nat urally to the American wherever he may be, but this district would not gel the very thing therein specified il Alaska as a whole were given territorial government. Give US a commission by all means. and later if conditions warrant it, divide the territory and give the permanently settled portion, Southeastern Alas ka, the right to make her own laws to suit her own conditions.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1909-10-07
AS TAFT SEES IT
Local self government or home

Local self government or home rule in a country so large as Alaska with a scattered nomadic popula- ton. intense local and sectional feeling. should not be given seri- ous consideration until the popula- ton and developed resources of the country have increased to such an extent as to warrant the division of the territory into more limited areas where the inhabitants of each would have an opportunity of becoming acouainted, and where there would be some degree of similarity of in- ,erests. Before such an eXperl- rent. an earnest effort should be made to secure a larger percentage ofpernanent residents and endeay- or to attach some of the population to the soil.
 My own judgement is that the only way properly to develop Alas
 
 ka for the benefit of everybody in it is to bring the territory under the management of one bureau and department in Washington,
 Certain general laws. like the mining laws, the forestry laws, the customs laws and the'land laws, should be passed by congress, and perhaps executed by. national ofi- cers. but this would leave a wide domain for domestic legislation which, it seems to me, ought to De n--ustcd to some local authority on tue ground and having knowl- edge of local needs. Of course, il the territory were settled with permanent population, more or less equally distributed through it's eX- tent, such legislative power might be entrusted 10 an elected Iegisla- ure, but for the reasons 1 have given it seems to me that it would be much wiser to entrust this local legislative power 10 commission of five or more members, appointed by the president, to act with the governor in the discharge ot such legislative functions. It seems wise not to confer legislative fun ctions on the governor alone, but to assist him in its exercise by the addition of competent persons, who will live in the territory, familiar ize themselves with it's local needs and bring to the attention of con- gress and the executive such addi- tional legislation as may from time to time be wise.'

of their respective abilities, to rich and poor alike; and that to the one IS to the other, a just punishment for wrongdoing must be adminis- tered.
 Large bodies of capital, though long withheld because of ignorance or distrust of conditions in Alaska, have recently been invested here and should be encouraged here. Within reasonable bounds, more- over, special means should be pro- vided for their encouragement in proportion to the local adverse fac tors which tend toward their dis couragement, or which, in the ab- sence of those special means, ab- solutely forbid their authorization. Fair-minded men acknowledge these truths. But does any fair minded man believe that the ad- ministration of William H. Taft will permit any grant or privilege to incorporated capital to be abused if the administration is advised of the abuse? If there are abuses at present, it will be the business of the appointed agents of the admin istration 10 find. them out and to report them.
 There are business operations in this Territory which from their nature can be carried on only by large outlay of money, but there are countless others which can be made profitable by the expenditure of modest means in the hands of men whose chief capital is their in-

 Although in a sense a newcomer, l am not a stranger to you or en- tirely without information as to the conditions that surround you. ! There are among us various opin- ions as to the political future of this Territory and several contrary notions as to, its government. l am not yet committed 10 either of [ the extreme views pertaining to this problem, and must withhold an expression of opinion until my present information shall have been enlarged. The honest and unself- ish advocate of fully organized territorial form of government in the immediate future will command my respectful attention, and such an advocate will not have cause ! for quarrel with me unless he is of isuch intolerant temper as to war with all those who for honest and unselfish reasons may be unable to accept his view. It will likewise be my duty and pleasure to listen. attentively to those of our citizens who favor a form of government which falls short of the fully organ ized territoria. form, and even 10 those who oppose any marked change at present in the existing form. While hear the eXpres- sion of these views in all parts of the Territory and while pursue for myself Q conscientious eXamin- ation of conditions as they appear in the several districts, l bespeak your patience and at the same time. invite your hearty cooperation. On this subject of the form of gov- ernment l am prepared to make on- ly one statement with confidence, in the present state of my know ledge, and that is that there is urg- ant need for improvement in the existing system of territorial con- troI. l am authorized by the President of the United States to say that the problem of Alaska government is engaging his earnest attention and that at q proper time not distant he will express some views and recommendations on the subject.
 Until our political condition is 1 improved let us devote ourselves to temperate discussion of civic matters and to the earnest develop ment of our great natural resources Until q desired improvement in the form of government is effected we may still hope for continued and perhaps increased federal appro- priations for roads, telegraphs, lighthouses, postal communications and other internal improvements, and for means to protect our fish, l o...o
