OF this was shown whea an intrigue

When the Gar heard OF Il he ask

law on the subject was. ald was in
formed that legally the trial should
take place in the locality where the
crime was committed.
Stamping his foot angrily. the Gar
said kindly then observe the law,
and disregard these hysterical shrek
ings."
In other ways the Gar shows that
he is waking up. His courtiers are
astonished at the amount of busi-
ness. His Majesty gets through in n
day. He has also made II clear that
he wishes TO get more Into touch
With his people and TO be more in

VISITING ALASKA
YOUKON EXPO
Should We Engage in War
Now-Couldn't Haul Coal
to America's Fleets.

Seattle. Wash, Oct. 1.--Speaking
, bea3re the largest audience he has
faced since his trip ibegan-a crowd
that overfowed the natural amphi-
theatre of the AlaZGa-Youkon Pacific
Exposition with its seating capacity
of nearly O,O0O-President Taft
yesterday announced that he would
urge in his coming message to con-
gress the enactment of a ship sub
sidy law.
Mr.. Taft declared that the couon-
try was ready to make such expert
ment and that something must be
done to build up an American mer-
chant marine. His utterances on
this subject were received with
great applause
When the president turned oAlas
ka. however, and declared that he
was opposed to granting a territori-
al form OF government to that far
on possession. the statement was re-
ceiyed with silence. AS the presiden Z,
proceeded. however, and outlined his
policy for the upbuilding of Alaska,
OF recommending government aid in
the construction OF railradS, OF a To-
cal government by a commission of
five or more members appointed by
the president and cooperating with
the government, and when he told
OF the great possibilities that lie in
Alaska, he plainly caught tne favor
of his hearers and was loudly cheer
ed.
Latter in the day when he was ad-
mittedto membership in the Arctic
Brotherhood an international organ
ization made UP of Canadians and
Americans Interested in the develop
ment of Alaska, the president an
nounced that he intended to visit
Alaska. next summer and to go as
~ into the territory as time would
permit in order that he might come
into contact with the people and
see for himself what might best be
done for their welfare.
The president frankly told the
members of the brotherhood that he
did not believe Alaska at this time
is ready for entire self government.
II am as much in favor of popu-
lar government as anybody" de-
clared the president, But I am I'm
favor of popular government only
when the condition exist under
which popular government may be a
success and work for the benefit OF
the people and the government at
large. When there are limitations
growing out Of various circumstan-
ces we must take other means until
popular government becomes posi-
bic, and then, OF course It is the best
government in the world"
In discussing ship subsidy Presi-
dent Taft declared that If war
should come at this time the United
states would not have vessels 10 car
ry coal to its fleets. And it would
be doubtful under the neutrality
laws. he added. if the United states
would be able TO buy foreign YES
sels in tn emergency.
The prefdent had an interesting
and busy day which ended tonight
with a banquet in the Washington
building ON the exposition grounds.

CHINESE DISPUTE
ENDS IN DEATH

Two Chinese, Wong Chez and Glue
Kai, engaged in dispute over water
rights in the Kunawai taro patches at
a late hour last night which resulted
in the killing of one and the injuring
of the other so seriously that he is
now confined at the Queen s Hospital
chue Kai was found by the police. af-
ter report had been telephoned in
to the station by the man who had
killed him, lying in the Ntaro patches.
He was then alive, but expired before
the patrol wagon arrived.
In the meantime. Wong Chez hal
come down to the station and stated
that he wished to enter a complaint
against Chue Kai. who ne stated had
assaulted him with a hoe. He was
then bleeding profusely from a couple
of nasty gashes over the forehead and
one on his forearm. He told the po-
lice station officer that Chue Kai had
DISC fired revolver at him. From
later developments however, It seems
that Wong Chez must have used the
revolver. and with fatal effect. The
bullet penetrated Chue Kai's stomach.
