FRIEND Of KING STEALS
s2,300,000; Gets 8 YEARS
American Mining Ventures Help
Sweep Away Former DAN
iSh Minister'S Loot

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 17.-Former
Minister of Justice Alberti, the revela-
ton of whose banking frauds in the
fall of 1908 scandalzed the country,
was sentenced today to eight years
penal servitude. Alberti suffered q
physical collapse in March, 1908, while
awaiting trial, and was removed to a
hospital, where he remained until suf-
ficiently restored to face his accusers.
Fer fourteen years Alberti had held
a commanding place both in politics
and finance. He was a member of the
Deuntzer ministry and later dominated
the Christensen cabinet which he en-
tered as minister of justice in 1905. AS
president of the Bondesstandens SPAR
kasse, a savings bank, and of the Dan
ish farmers export association, he was
the custodian of enormous funds, to
which he began to help himself, ac-
cording to his own confession, seven
years before he accepted the portfolio
of justice.
The minister was the intimate friend
of King Frederick and the idol OF the
poorer classes. His peculations, he
said, amounted to about $2,S0O,OOO. and
the money had been lost in South At
rican and American mining ventures

CREW OF ICE CRUSHED
VESSEL BELIEVED LOST
J. w. Kelly, Authority on Eskimos,
Reported Among vOyag-
erS Who PeriShed

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 1.-THE
trading schooner Louise, which was
crushed in the ice of Bering strait
and pieces of which were found near
Cape Prince Of Wales, the most west
erly point of North America, sailed
from Nome for Siberia on trading
expedition. Captain Harry Owens,
commander and owner of the boat, had
been running small vessels in the Far
North for a number of years, and was
familiar with ice navigation.
John w. Kelly, one Of the passen-
gers, had been trading with the Si-
berian' natives for twenty-five years,
and Mount helly, a noted Landmark,
near Anadyr, was named for him.
1t is likely that all the men were
drowne.. In the winter Bering strait
is not frozen over, but ice drifts
south from the Arctic, filling the pas
sage and always moving. Eskimos
make their way from Siberia to the
Diomeu Islands, and it is possible,
but not probable, that the Louise's
men may have reached the Islands
over the ice.
Kelly during his long residence
among the Eskimos of Bering strait
had made study of the strange peo-
pie, and had compiled a dictionary of
their language. he is said to have
been the best authority on the Bering
strait Eskimos.

"Mr. Carnegie's gift to peace is po-
tentially the most important gift OF

Specifically, this fund should develop
a code of international laws; 1t should
enlarge and complete the work of Jean
Bloch on the cost of war and should
give US a clear view of how all civil
liZed nations save Canada and the
United States have now passed into
the control of their creditors. The war
debt of $4,000, 100000 under which Eu>
rope now stagGers did not grow up
without a history of blunder and crime.
'It should probe to the extreme the
effect of war by reversal of selection
in destroying the virility Of NATIONS
TO this cause almost alone is due the
downfall of these nations which have
lost step in human progress.
ITO show that the moral equivalent
of war is found no higher than in the
prize fight, to show that the waste of
nations in debt and in loss of virility
is due mainly to war and to show the
world the only way out lies in better
relation among men in the spread Of
law and justice, and at present in the
work which eliminates at The Hague,
is the noblest work of Carnegie's gift"
