People a Chance.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2~1.-senator Ia
Toilette in a speech to-day came out
openly In favor OF Government owner
ship OF the railroads OF Alaska and Of
Governmental control OF the natural re-
sources OF hat rich Territory. In the
course of his remarks he referred 20 a
bill which he introduced four years
ago providing for the leasing OF all
mineral rights In the United States,
although the measure was Intended 10
he applicable more especially to Alaska.
THE sensible and practical thing to
do" he said. 'hs to create a board OF
public works for Alaska, to he ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate, similar to the Isthmian
Canal Commission. This board of pub
lie works should then undertake not
merely to build n railroad from Con-
troller Bay to the coal fields, but Il
should now acquire all OF the railroads

exorbitant and oppressive charges. The
people OF the United States do not de-
mand An immediate return. They can
themselves supply all necessary money
at an interest charge OF less than 3 per
cent. Rates for transportation and for
other public utilities may properly be
low, with the capital cost as small as
the investment would be to the people.
Most important OF all is control OF
the transportation facilities by the Gov
eminent. 1t would forever remove the
irresistible temptation OF discrimination,
rebates and corruption which have
characterized the worst period OF ouI

OTTLES HIT MIRRORS

From Yonkers the news that
Miss Ray Mitchell of this city went
into tho saloon Of william Murray at
No. IS st. Joseph's avenue. to-day, and
by the indiscriminate use Of such mis-
siles as came to her hands made the
place look as II the Empire State Ex-
press had run through It. Murray. az
q charge of disorderly conduct, said he
thought she must have a grudge against
him or something.
1t was about a month < at No. 70
West FNorty-sixth street, the home of
Ray Mitchell, that she shot Murray
three times. He had informed her that
ho was about to marry a girl In York
ers and she got out her revolver n
tried co~nscientiously to keep him from
doing 1t. Her aim was bad.
Murray went to Flower Hospital.
where the doctors took a bullet out OF
his face and prepared to lay him up
and remove two other bullets. one from
his right wrist and another from his
back. but Murray had other designs.
Carrying the two bullets, he left the
hospital. got his hance. took her to the
City Hall. got a license and married
her. The next day he went to Yonke
and received the congratulations OF his
friends.
In the meantime Ray Mitchell was un-
der arrest. Murray refused to prosecute
her. and the case against her was al
lowed to lapse. She did not bother MUIR
ray until this morning. when she ap-
peared In his saloon.
There were about half a dozen GUS
toners In the place. Miss Mitchell
opened proceedings by hurting a bottle
against the mirror back Of the bar. The
patrons and bartender fled. Then Miss
Mitchell proceeded systematically TO
render Murray's saloon useless for busi-
ness purposes. When a policeman ar
rived and gathered her IN. she had
broken all the glassware and bottles,
smashed all tho fixtures she could
handle and turned on the beer and ale
and allowed It to run as 1t willed over
the floor.
Upon being placed in a cell Miss
Mitchell went to sleep. She will be al
lowed to sleep her sleep out. and City
Judge Beale will take up her case to-
morrow morning.
