Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage.

Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage.
Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is sta.
toned at Bermuda, is a brother Of
Lord Kitchener, and this fact has
worked against him rather than for
him. He is considered a clever sol
der in England, and at the time Of
the war in South Africa it was
thought that he would receive an i'm
portant post that would become va
cant. He was passed over and his
brother, Lord Kitchener, was asked
for the reason. ct should have gone
to my brother" he said, "but If / had
given it to him everybody would have
yelled favoritism' at the top of their
voices, so I picked someone else"
Walter Kitchener was expected at
Cape Town at railway station once
when an old lady rushed in exeitedly
and asked at what platform Lord
Kitchener was expected to arrive. No
one seemed to know anything about
his visJ- until it finally dawned upon
the staff officer that she had heard Of
the arrival of his brother He In
formed her that this was only Kitcb-
ener that was expected 81 call it a
shame that this man, whoever he may
be, should be allowed to use Lord
KitcheneT's name; the government
ought to do something about it," she
said. stalking majesticaIly out of the

PAGE OF THE TACOMA TIMES


Some three years ago the Guggenheims wanted
piece of railroad right of way in Alaska belonging
to and occupied by another company. Proceeding
to take possession of it, physical encounter occurred
in which murder was committed by the Guggenheim
representatives. The federal officials started to
prosecute the murderers, but before they had sue
ceeded an order came from Washington Diminishing
the officials conducting the prosecution.
Delegate Wickersham charged in congress that
the order issued at the nstigation of the Guggen
helms. The new appointees must be confirmed by
the senate, and in the effort to procure their con
tirmation the Guggenheims determined to have
the votes of the members from Washington THE

States, and that this is reducing

this country of its gold. In his

says 1t will go on until it produces
acute suffering.
Mr.. Call says this could be done

-Four years ago President Roosevelt withdrew
these cod lands from entry and included the area
in forest reserve. A howl went up from the coal
grabbers, and a hurry-up resolution damned
injustice had been done ''poor settlers who wanted
to settle there The withdrawal order was modified,
and the coal land grabbers, including many of the
leading citizens and standpat republican leaders of
Washington proceeded to grab coal deposits probably
worth millions This is not history of resource
grabbing in Washington and Alaska. 1t is merely
suggestion of few specific instances. 1t is merely
