Christensen thereupon was excused,
and Alfred H Brooks, a miner expert
Of geological survey, was called to the
stand to testify as to coal conditions in
Alaska
Mr.. Brooks saio the total area of
Alaska is $4,000 square miles. OF coal
bearing rocks there are known to be
about 1900 square miles. Only about
one-tenth of the coal area is known to
be un6erlaid with coal seams. About

One-half of the entire coal area is made
up OF ignite or a very low grade of
coal About one-fifth of the territory
has not been surveyed, and the witness
said there was every reason to believe
that in the northern part of the terri
tory are some of the most extensive
coal deposits. These are not included in
the 1900 miles estimate.
Mr.. Brooks declared that If the Alas
ka fields were opened 1t would mean a
saving to the United States navy of at
least $4,000 a year. The expert also
said that the Chugach forest reserve is
only about one-fifth covered with tim
Der. The timber in Alaska is being
rapidly used up for fuel purposes. 1t
would conserve the timber If the coal
fields were opened.
Don't glaciers make up most of the
forest reserves? ' asked Senator Nell
son, amid laughter.
Yes" replied the witness.
Alaska is retrogressing, said Mr..
Brooks People are becoming discour-
aged and are leaving. This is largely
due to the coal situation. Without coal
there can be no railroads, and without
railroads there can be no business TO
speak Of"
Up to this time the witness declared
the visible coal supply in the United
States has been consumed only to the
amount of four-tenths of l per cent,
leaving SO 6-10th yet to be mined
Mr.. Brooks was still on the stand
when the committee adjourned until
tomorrow.

Washington, April S.-Flat denfals
were made in all official directions of
another crop of cabinet resignation ru-
mors, this time dealing with Secretary
Knox and Secretary MacVeagh.
President Taft said he knew nothing
OF contemplated designations by these
or other cabinet officials and shortly
after this statement Secretaries Knox
and MacVeagh both made denials, the
former verbally but strongly. on his
way into the executive offices to attend
the regular cabinet meeting. and the
latter both formally and informally.
Mr.. MacVeagh not only gave out a
written statement, but personally de-
clared he did not have the least inten-
ton of resigning now or in the near
future, SO far as he could see.

authorities as an army court-martial

ton, and sentence was then hanging
over him.
When Chief Barlow made a second
| demand for the prisoner the matter
was referred to the war department at
Washington. The action Of the post
eommandant in refusing to turn the
prisoner over to civil authorities was
sustained, and preparations were made
TO send him to military prison to
serve a sentence of two and a half
years, imposed for desertion in 1907.
Haley was captured shortly after he
deserted in 1907. A court-martial found
him guilty and he was awaiting a long
sentence in military prison when an
/ opportunity to escape presented itself
He made a dash for liberty and had
been at large until his arrest by Pa

of the Fifteenth infantry that had
been acquainted with him knew that
he had made Salt Lake his home since
early last September.
No Other Charges.
Haley did not need to face a second
court-martial after he had been cap
tured by Patrolman Phillips. The find

last night. 1t states:
Harry Hall, or Clyde C. Garfield. a

crimes, among others the robbery of

Washington, April S.-Thomas F
Walsh. the millionaire mine owner, died
at his home here today at 1890 o'clock
Death was due to a growth in the
lungs as a result OF an injury received
years ago. when Mr.. Walsh was a
miner in the west.
Although the silver mining king" as
Mr.. Walsh was known, had been sick
for three months, the end came sudden
ly and peacefully. He died in his

development of mines. In 1879 he was
married to Miss Carrie B. Reed. He was

idential election of 1896, went down to
an overwhelming defeat from which it
has not yet recovered-all as the re-
suit of having been recreant to the
form.
Does a similar fate await the repuo-
lican party? Indications point very
strongly in that direction. The Nat
ional Republican platform, adopted in
1908, promised genuine downward
revision of the tariff, for the relief of
the suffering masses as against the
over-favored classes. The legerdemain
and jugglery employed in the passage
of the Infamous Payne-Aldrich Tariff
Law, and the dogged stubbornness
with which President Taft has put the
stamp of his approval on the trainers
of that measure. are Infamous and
monstrous betrayals of the republican
party's sacred pledges to the Ameri-
can people. The Presidents forestry
and natural resources conservation
policy, which fayors the multi-million-
aires at the expense OF the nation, is
another notorious violation of republi-
ca nrromises The new federal rail
road law would not have had a single
redeeming feature in it but for the de.
termined stand OF the insurgents"

Ever since the close OF the Civil
War, it has been an adage that "as
Vermont and Maine go, so goes the
Union" Up to the present this rule
has held true. Vermont is as rock
ribbed in republcanism as Texas is in
democracy. During presidential and
congressional campaigns, a normal or
sweeping republican majority In that
state has always been accepted by
shrewd political forecasters as a sure
indication OF republican victory
throughout the United States at the
November elections-on the other
hand, a marked falling off of the usual
republican majority in that New Eng
land state has been regarded as a
fore-runner of democratic success
throughout the union. AS Maine al
ways holds her local and congressional
elections a week later than Vermont,
the voters of the former state are nat
urally influenced by the action of those
of the latter Maine is. however, pc
culiar in her politics. The same Col.
Plaisted who mas just been elected
her governor ran, during the Blaine
Cleveland campaign Of 1854, as the
democratic -greenback candidate for the
same office, and was elected; yet, at
the following November election.
Maine went republican. and her cleo
toral votes were cast for her fayorite
son. James c. Blaine, for president.
The truth is, that a very strong
spirit of independence has always pre-
vailed in the six New England states
ever since the days of the American
Revolution, a spirit which has been
communicated to many other states of
he union, as the sons and daughters
