into that country and 65,000 pounds of machinery and supplies are now lying at different caches, strung out for a distance of 120 miles.
 Last year $13.000 was spent on a trail from Beaver on the Yukon to McNett Basin, and the residents of the Koyukuk and Chandlar dis tricts also contributed and helped build the trail. Heretofore the mail route has been over a dangerous portion of the country. with but few roadhouses. which made travel ex- tremely hazardous. The new route which has been surveyed ovef gravel ed ridges and eliminating lonesome and dangerous flats. also cut of ap- proximstely 200 miles of bad terri tory and shortens the route a num- Der of days. There are series of fine postoffices on the trunk line north of Fairbanks or Chatinika and the shortening of this route and the building of the trails, if we do get government aid, is going to greatly facilitate our mail service. The mail should leave Chitina direct to Fair banks, thence on to Chatifiika and across the range to the upper Yukon

ASKS ITS AMENDMENT
Delegate Believes Modified tion of the Constitution Would Please Arizonians More Than Defeat of Statehood.

Washington, D. C., June 23.-Dele- gate Cameron of Arizona today re- quested the senate committee on ter ritories to amend the Arizona con stitution by eliminating the provision for the recall of judges He based his request on the opposition of the president to this feature of the con stitution and said he feared its re- tentiOn ultimately would defeat state hood.
 He said the people of Arizona were anxious for statehood and they would be willing to come in under a modi- fled form of their constitution He held the opinion that congress had the right to change the constitution without resubmitting it to the peo- pie.
 Many members of the committee dissented from this view and several expressed the opinion that the house resolution providing for the resubnis- sion Of the judicial recall provision to the voters of the territory would be favOrably reported. The commit tee will vote tomorrow.

TAFT INVITATION
 RECEIVED IN JAIL
Recipient a Classmste of President at
 Vale.

Oakland. Cal, June 23.-Thomas P Wickes. serving a six months sen tence in the county jail here for pass in> fraudulent check, was playing cards this afternoon when the jailor handed him a large envelope. dated Washington, D. C. He opened it. Ii proved to be an invitation from Pres ident and Mrs. Taft inviting Wickes to be present at the Taft silver we'd ding.
 'T guess I'll not play any more, said Wickes. after a moment of con- temptation, and then he went to his cell. That is all the comment he made Wickes was graduated from Yale in 1878, a member of the class with President Taft. A few years ago he was a prosperous lawyer in San Francisco, but for a year or so has been earning a precarious liveli- hood in this city.

PRESIDENT NOT WORRIED
 ABOUT RECIPROCITY OR TALK OF GENERAL TARIFF
 REVISION. What Would Happen to the Latter
 Would Be Plenty.

Providence, R. l., June 23.-TwO of the flOurishing cities in Narragansett Bay were visited today by President Taft. The Presidential yacht. the Mayflower, brought him first to Fall River. as one of the closing features of that citys cotton industry cen tennial, and later the yacht steamed to Providence, where the president toured the city and spoke on his favorite public topic, Canadian at the Conservative club banquet tonight. The president sailed tonight for New York
 The president is not worrying par tfcularly about things in Washington, and in spite of predictions freely made in the past few days, is still con vinced that the reciprocity bill will pass with a good majority. There is not much doubt in the minds of his friends as to what Taft would do if congress insisted upon passing the farmers free list bill and the woolen bill
 He has asserted many times that revision of the tariff should be based Ipon scientific data obtained by the tariff board. The data will not be available until December and the presidents attitude has not changed. He still is opposed to what he be- lieves is "unscientific tinkering.'

SAYS SENATOR HOPKINS
He Had Heard, But Could Not Affirm That His De- feat for Re election Had Been Accomplished by the Use of Money.

Washington, June 23.-"Jackpots" or corruption funds in the Illinois legis- lature constitute "one of the tradi- lions of politics in Illinois, accord ing to the testimony of former Sena- tor Albert Hopkins before the Lorimer Investigating committee of the sen ate. NIT. Lorimer succeeded Mr Hop kins. Whether any of the jackpot funds or other corruption funds had been used to defeat him for senator he was unable to tell the committee of his own knowledge
 The only other witness was Edgar 4. Bancroft general counsel of the International Harvester company. His testimony was that Clarence H. Funk, general manager of the company. had told him of the alleged attempt of MT. Hines" or Edward Hines" to raise money to meet the expenses of electing MT. Lorimer.
 Nearly every phase of the Lorimer case was gone into when Hopkins was on the stand.
 Judge Hanecy, counsel for Lorimer. protested against the witness leaving the stand without expressing an opinion on the rumor that the fifty three democrats who voted for Lori mer on the last ballot received money. Tt leaves a cloud on those men," in- sisted the counsel The committee did not require the witness to answer.
 MT Bancroft, in relating, what Funk had told hin, said he had no dis tinct recollection of the words used by Funk in the conversation. The effect of it. however was that Hines had asked Funk to contribute for the company S1O,00O to meet the expenses of Senator Lorimer's election. Judge Hanecy for Lorimer asked if he did not consider it strange that Hines should go to a company that was not friendly with him with request for contributions. Bancroft disclaimed any knowledge of hostility toward MT. Lorimer

BOOK 0F TRUTH'
 PUT THEM TO SLEEP
DROWSY DAY AT FOUNDER OF
 ABSOLUTE LIFE's TRIAL.
Juror, Reporter, Stenographer and
 Spectators Succumbed.

Chicago. June 23.-Although ex- cerpts from the Book of Truth read at the trial of Evelyn Arthur See to- day were of a nature that earned the closest attention from most of the spectators. Juror J. w Gottlieb fell asleep and slumbered peacefully for fifteen minutes His nap was broken when Prosecutor Burnham loudly acclaimed a paragraph which sent wave of blushes through the numerous female contingent. then he settled back in his chair and listened
 Attorney James F.. Callahan of the defense said that GOttlieb's lapse would be used if necessary in apply ing for a new trial for See. The day was hot and the court room crowded Gottlieb had scarcely become awak- ened before it was discovered that a stenographer had fallen a victim to fatigue and the heat. Then a re- porter fell asleep. He was awakened by an attorney. A policeman in charge of the Book of Truth also fell a victim to drowsiness. but not being needed by either side. he was allowed to slumber on.
 A spectator with a bald head en- joyed similar immunity Those who urge that the defendant has an "hyp- notic eye" called attention to the fact that those who succumbed were in line with his vision. but no one could swear that he had looked with any particular intensity at any of the sleepers except the jury.
 One paragraph read to the jury fol- lows: Do not think l allow the dis sipation in the world It is only when you are free l made you hus- band and wife. Society will sanction what you do because it is my will. have not forgotten society in my ordinations for the person. Your freedom in sex is not freedom with | sex; it is freedom from sex"

 The feature of the day was the royal procession through the poorer section. south of the Thames. With the gaudy Indian troops, the coIonials and de- tachments of Great Britain's finest sol diers in line, the procession made a fine pageant.
 A great and constantly changing thrOng remained in front of Bucking- ham palace all afternoon. The king and queen and the prince of Wales sev- eral times appeared on the balcony and waved their hands and the enthusiasm of the people each time was given vent to in a great roar of cheers.
 There was a great dinner at the for eign office tonight, where Sir Edward Grey, the foreign minister. entertained in state King George and the members of the royal family and alf the visiting royal personages and the special repre- to the coronation.
