There was a long hallway Cor
'passageway," as they call 1t in the
land of the Colonels), with one side
latticed, running along the rear of the
house. The grocer's young man went
through this to deliver his goods. One
morning he passed a girl in there with
shining eyes, sallow complexion and
wide, smiling mouth, wearing maid S
cap and apron. But as he was cum
bered with a basket of Early Drum
head lettuce and trophy tomatoes and
three punches of asparagus and SIX
bottles of the most expensive Queen
olives, he saw no more than that she
was one of the maids.
But on his way out he came up be-
hind her, and she was whistling
Fishers Hornpipe" so loudly and
clearly that all the piccolos in the
world should have disjointed them
selves and crept into their cases for
shame.
The grocer's young man stopped ana
pushed back his cap until it hung on

"That's out O. sight, kid" said he.

Celia, with her wide, disarm 'ng smile.

Alaska Coal is
Worth Half Cent
a Ton in Ground
At This Price Land Would Bring More
Than Bituminous Coal Lands
in United States.

WASHINGTON, aug. 5.--Accesslble coal
OF the best Alaskan fields-even at " a
cent ton in the gfound-is worth more
than most of the coal lands in the eastern
states, Notwithstanding their nearness to
iihes of transportation and to market. This
statement is contained in a bulletin Issued
by the geological survey today under di-
rection Of George Otis Smith.
During the Ballinger-Pinchot investiga-
ton A. H. Brooks Of the geological survey
testified that the accessible coal in the
Bering river and Matamuska districts was
worth " cent ton in the ground. This
small figure created the impression in the
MINDS OF many people that the Alaska coal
iahds We're of small value. The bulletin
just issued says that priced at the rate
haIned by Mr. Brooks the best Alaska coal
lands are worth from $50 TO $500 an acre,
Nalues far above the average price of bi-
luminous coal lands IN the United States.
speaking of the influences which have
held back the development of the Alaskan
coal lands the statement says the most
serious handicap has been the laws.

ual TO obtain title have been on the statute

she Is not even pretty. She is short and

Fall Business
Starting in Well
indications Said to Point to a Trade
Twenty-Five Per Cent Ahead
of Last Year.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.--(Special Telegram
Joseph II. Emery. president of lord &
Taylor, said today that in spite of the fact
that the July cotton report was less ia
vorable than for June the dry goods situa-
tion is more promising for future business
now than for the last SIX months
Stocks are low over the country" con-
tinued Mr. Emery, "and the hand-to-mouth
buying that has been practiced by the large
dry goods houses must soon be discon-
tinued.
THE cotton report is not to be taken too
seriously, as the next two or three weeks
is very critical period for cotton growers
and the entire aspect of the situation can
be changed during that time.
EARLY indications point to the conclusion
that our fall business will run about 25
per cent ahead of last year and there is
40 reason why other dry goods houses can
not show the same results in spite of the
representations OF numerous calamity
howlers."

Miss Bredln, nn Eye Witness, De-
scribes the killing, from window

CHICAGO. Aug. 6.--(Special Telegram.)--
Miss Elizabeth Wilcox stenographer, was
taken by detectives this afternoon to the
Englewood police station, where she was
questioned about the murder of DIR. Will
liam F, Michaels, who was shot down
in the street at Sixty-first place and Norv
NAL boulevard last night
The name Mary Golden" was found on
a card in the physicians office, and detec-
tives were sent to find and question her
Miss Wilcox, who lives at 534 West Six
ty-first place and is employed by an en-
gineering agency In the Monadnock block,
is believed by the police to be 1.-The woman
in the case" and when questioned, ad-
m;tted that she had been with Or. Michaels
in his office until half an hour before the
shooting. After questioning her for some
time Captain Collins declared he was salts
fled she was not telling all she knew and
ordered that she be held in custody as
witness for later questioning, though no
charge was placed against her.
Accordingly, Miss Wilcox was taken in
charge by Mrs Minnie Muir the matron,
and though she was not placed in a cell
she was refused permission to leave the
matron's quarters.
Around the girl the police hope to build
up structure of evidence laying bare a
love plot with revenge and jealousy as the
motives of the shooting, So far no clew
has been discovered to the identity of the
two men who met DR.. Michaelis in the
dentists office. and 1t is believed will form
an important clew Bloodhounds were
taken to the scene and put on the trail Of
the two men in the hopes that they could
be tracked down.
The man who actually fired the shot was
short and heavy set. the police were in
formed. His companion who waited nearby
and ran with the slayer under the cover
Of night, was taller. Powder marks on the
victims clothes show that the shot was
fired point blank from a distance of less
than two feet, while Or. Michaells was in
low-voiced conversation with the man,
whom evidently he knew. The weapon used
was a S2-caliber magazine pistol, for the
empty cartridge of a kind used only in a
magazine gun was found in the alley down
which the murderer escaped.
How DR.. Mchaelis was murdered under
the window of her bed room at 1880 O'Clock
last night while she crouched white-faced
and breathless in the dim-lighted room;
how the dentist staggered across the street
and then fell as his slayer fled-such was
the graphic story told the police today by

BIsCAYAN PROVINCE FOR REVOLT

ROME. Aug cit was at the urgent
request of Don Jaime, the pretender to the
Spanish. throne that the great Catholic
demonstration at San Sebastian, which
was to be held tomorrow, was called off.
It's statement was made today by one
of the most influential of the followers
of the Spanish pretender, now in Rome.
to urge the vatican to give its approval
and support to a Carlist uprising.
IT had become evident to the Carlist
leaders that in view of the extraordinary
prosecutions taken by the government
the demonstration must lead to a bloody
clash and a premature explosion which
would greatly strengthen the position Of
the government
Don Jnime Wants the Throne.
Don Jaime is determined to make a
try for the throne, and his lieutenants
are busy throughout Spain getting his
forces in shape. He has, however, struck
a snag at the vatican, 1t being under
stood that all of his efforts to secure
active cooperation of the church in an
attempt to overthrow Alfonso have been
in vain, 1t has been determined that at
tL.s juncture, at least, it would be unwise
to identify the chcrch with dynastic
uprising
probably sever have another such op-
portunity to put his pretensions to the
test His lieutenants have impressed
on him that It is now or never; that If
he fails to raise the standard of revolt
now, he will be regarded as a joke so
far as his pretensions to the throne are
concerned
1t is stated that the Biscayan prov
inces. always strongholds of Carlism,. are
ready to rise almost to man, but con-
dttions in the other parts of Spain are
not yet ripe. Hence it was deemed better
to have the San Sebastian demonstration
called off.
In this the Carlists and the vatican
worked together. The vatican does not
wish to see bloodshed Is Spain, at least
while the controversy with Canalejas Is
in it's present shape.
Threats of Arrest.
