Origin Of Thanksaivinu,

The Thanksgiving day which we eel
citrate is a composite one made up of
parts of celebrations of that day by
other people. We have taken the time
from one. the feast from another and
the gathering together Of the people
from still another. Long ages before
the white man came to disturb their
peace the Indians held a festal day
during this season of the year. They
had great feast Of roasted deer and
bear. boiled corn and stewed pumpkin
Then they had their games. the young
braves contrasting with one another in
a sort of gymnastic feats. This was
followed by the campfire dance. all
Joining hands and dancing around the
campfire. singing their strange. weird
songs. This wild mood festivity was
the original Thanksgiving in America.

Can Easily Dominate Field.

The Cunningham coal claims are in
position of peculiar strategic advan-
tage. They dominate the Bering river
district The ease with which COM
pany owning these claims could con-
troll the whole Bering river coal field
has been shown by Mr. Storrs, the en-
gineer of the Morgan-Guggenheim syn
dicate. He concludes by stating that,
If the syndicate owned the Cunning
ham claims it would be necessary to
obtain control of only two more groups,
and possibly of only one, in order to
dominate the whole field. The only
other large coal field in Alaska of
present Importance is in the Matanus-
ka district, where the coal Is less

ham claims are the only ones that

new hero" FUND
IS ESTABLISHED
Carnegie Donates Million and a
Quarter to Germany.

Berlin, Jan. 2.-Andrew Carnegie
has given $1,250,O00 to establish a
hero fund in Germany.
This is the fourth "hero fund" es-
tablished by Mr.. Carnegie. The orig
inal endowment was made in April,
1904, when $5,OO0,0O0 was placed in
the hands of a commission composed
of twenty-one residents of Pittshnrg,
who were instructed to use the an
nual proceeds of the fund for the ben
eft of dependents of those losing
their lives In heroic effort to save
their fellow men or for the heroes
themselves II injured only. The bene-
ficiaries were confined to those asso-
ciated with acts performed within the
United States, Canada and Newfound-
land and the waters thereof.
In 1908 Mr. Carnegie gave $1,250, 900
for the creation of a hero fund in
Great Britain. In the following year
he established similar fund in
France by the gift of 100000. The
total set apart for this purpose is
now $S,500,000.

Pinchot Opposes Approval Of
Cunningham Claims.
MONOPOLY WILL RESULT
Strategic Location of Property Makes
II Easy for the Syndicate to Control
the Entire Bering Sea Coal Field.
Claimants Not Pioneers, but Hard
Headed Business Men, Most OF

Whom Never Set Foot in Alaska.
Washington, Jan. 2.-The brief on
the Cunningham coal claims in Alaska,
prepared by Clifford Pinchot and Amos
Pinchot, has been submitted to the
president. 1t is, in part, as follows:
The charge against the Cunningham
entries is that they were made in pur-
Suance of a fraudulent plan to acquire
for a single association public coal
lands in Alaska greatly in excess of
the amount allowed by law. The law
allowed an individual to take not more
than 100 acres and an association not
more than $40 acres. The area en-
braced by the Cunningham claims is
approximately $3.50 acres. The device
employed was to have members of the
association enter a claim in his own
name and make oath that he did so
for his own sole use and benefit,
whereas in fact all the members were
acting under an agreement that when
titles were secured the claims should
be consolidated into one property and
operated for the joint benefit of all in
equal shares.
The evidence in this case goes much
farther than to establish the fraud of
attempting by subterfuge to acquire
from the government more coal land
. rha
from the beginning the claimants act
ed with the definite and sustained in
tention of defeating the primary pur-
pose and essential spirit of the law
the spirit and purpose to prevent mo-
nopoly and secure competitive develop
ment of the nations resources. The
law under which patents to these
claims are asked is defective in that
1t contains no provisions to prevent
combination and monopoly after titles
are secured from the government This
fact makes it even more imperative to
enforce strictly the provisions forbid
ding agreements to combine made be-
fore patents are issued. Only thus can
monopoly be prevented.
The Cunningham coal claims cover
nearly rectangular area, running
about four miles east and west, by
two miles north and south Their val
ue has been conservatiVely estimated
at $25, 100000. That the Cunningham
claimants, if they secure patents, will
be in position to establish, in conjunc-
tion with j. p Morgan & Co. and the
Guggenheim Exploration company, a
virtual monopoly of coal production in
Alaska, is clear from consideration
of actual conditions as they exist in
Alaska

Mrs. Moore is the woman who. after
being burned from head to foot in the

apartment building, rushed to the bal
cony and cast herself over the railing
to the ground. Her death was due to
the burns she received, to the shock
of her fall and to the exposure.

pealing from every window for help.
Mrs. Moore is said to have lain on
