WOMEN IN RUSH To CANCEL
Home>teadcrs Must Register in Pre-
cinct of Entry.


Butte, Mont, March 26.-As a re-
suit OF an opinion from Attorney
General Albert j. Galen to the effect
that any one who has located home
stead must register at the designated
place in that vicinity and to register
elsewhere would invalidate that
homestead entry. the unique specta-
Gle was witnessed here of rush of
school teachers and other women
who had been rounded up at regis
tration" teas and registered by Butte
club women, to cancel their registra-
tons. Today's rush followed an an
nouncement from Clerk and Recorder
Kerr Beadle that all cancellations
must be made not later than five days
after the close of registrations To
permit the registration to stand would
legally establish the residence of
the entryman in Butte and automat-
ically cause forfeiture of all home
stead rights.
About fifty school teachers had
embraced the opportunity of the last
summer vacation to file upon land,
and they had been among the first to
register for the school election.

Eighty-two men were killed today by

teer rescuers, who flocked to the
scene as the news spread about the
countryside The mine was inspected

Preliminary Investigations have not
divulged the cause of the explosion,
Some local mine men are inclined To
regard it as a physical phenomenon.
Barometers in this vicinity have
been showing unusually low degrees

of the dead are in sore straits. Work
has been slack at the mine. Outside

PORTLAND COAL CLAIMS VOID
II, L.. Pittock and Associates Notified
of Adverse Action.


Juneau, Alaska, March 26.-The
Juneau land office has sent notice to
S. J. Barber, j. r. Rogers, E. House
and, j. G. Mack, locators of coal
claims in the Rathbone group, that
charges have been filed against their
claims. The charges allege that the
claimants did not file in good faith,
! but that each location and fling
was made pursuant to an unlawful
agreement and undertaking entered
into by each and every one of the said
claimants with one E. j. Rathbone,
Il. G. Clarke, George II. Hill, Fred 5.
Stanley, II. j.. Pittock and the Anglo
American Oil & Coal company.
The claims are in the Boygne
River coal fields and are of uncertain
value. All the men mentioned, eX-
cept Rathbone, are residents of Port
land, Ore.
The claimants of the four Wardell
coal claims, which adjoin the Cum
ningham claims in the Boygne River
field, have been notified that their
.claims are in peril of forfeiture for
failure to open and imp owe the
claims. G.. C. Britton, Z. S. commits
sioner at Katalla, Alaska, has been
notified of a similar charge against
his coal claim. The Wardell claim
ants were residents of Juneau at the
time of filing.
Alaska Central Forfeiture.
Juneau. Alaska, March 26.-Har-
vey Edward Revell of Seward, Alaska
has been cited by the Juneau land
office to show cause why his home
stead entry of $50 acres of land at
the head of Resurrection bay, Alaska,
should not be cancelled. Charges by
a special agent of the general land
office allege that .Revell before filing
entered into an agreement with w.
b. Poland, manager. and A. c. Frost
of Chicago, president of the Alaska
Central railway, to turn over half
his homestead to them. The land in
question has become very valuable
since the l.. S. government decided to
construct railroad from the Ma
tanuska coal fields to Seward. Ad-
joining the Revell homestead is an
S0-rod stretch of water front which
was given to the Alaska Central rail-
road by special act of congress,
passed on June 3. 1906. West of this
S0-rod tract Is soldiers scrip claim
filed on by Poland The Revell home
stead, the Alaska Central grant and
the Poland scrip claim control thu
northern end of Resurrection bay.
The property of the Alaska Central
railway went into the hands of cred
itors, and the company was reorgan-
lied as the Alaska Northern railway,
the stock of which is owned by the
Canadian banks, which furnished the
money to build the railway.

Statement by President Taft.

Washington, D. c., June "a
President Taft tonight made the
following statement:
The National Convention OF one
OF the great parties Is ordinarily i'm
portant only as a preliminary to a
national campaign for the election of
a President. The Chicago Conven-
ton just ended Is much more than
this and Is in itself the end of a pre-
convention campaign presenting a
crisis more threatening and issues
more important than those of the
election campaign which is to follow
between the two great national par
ties. The question here at stake was
whether the Republican party was to
change it's attitude as the chief con-
servator in the nation of constitu-
tional guarantees OF life, liberty and
property and all other rights de-
clared sacred in the Bill of Rights by
abandoning the principle of the abso-
lutte independence of the judiciary,
essential to the maintenance of those
rights. The campaign carried on to
seize the Republican party and make
, 1t the instrument of reckless ambi-
, tion and the unsetting of the funda-
mental principles of our government
was so sudden and unexpected that
! time was not given closely to show to
the people and the party the dangers
which confronted them 1t was
sought to break the wise and valu-
able tradition against giving more
! than two terms to any one man in
the presidency and the danger from
its breach could not be measured

which has been achieved can not be

LEADERS APPEAL TO
ALL TO JOIN ROOSEVELT
Plan Aggressive Fight to Carry State
For the Colonel.

Baltimore, June 25.-Col. E. G..
Darlington, Jr., of Montgomery Coun-
ty, chairman of the Maryland Roose-
yelt committee, and Galen L. TAFT,
chairman of the Sixth Congressional
District Roosevelt committee, have
made the following statement:
''On behalf of the Roosevelt dele
gates to the Republican National
Convention we deem it proper to ren-
der an accounting of our stewardship
to the Republicans of the State OF
Maryland that they may Judge which
of their delegates have been good
and faithful servants, and which have
been false.
by primary vote of several
thousand majority the Republicans
of Maryland declared that their six
teen delegates should follow the man
datory provisions of a statute delib-
erately passed by the Legislature and
solemnly signed by the governor, di-
recting the entire sixteen to vote as
a unit in support of the candidacy
of Theodore Roosevelt for Republi-
can nominee for President.
Eight of our number considered
that the mandate of sovereign State
was not subject to quibble, evasion,
or technical subterfuge. We there
fore Loyalty supported Theodore
Roosevelt upon the several questions
vital to his candidacy which arose
or;or ~ +bo oroapizatiop Of tho cou
yention. The most important was.
Shall the contested delegates sit and
vote upon their own cases? Shall
one accused sit in judgment in his
own suit? On this great moral ques-
tion seven of the opposing eight, in
cluding the governor of Maryland,
but not including the honorable ex-
ception of Robert Garrett, voted with
those who held in effect that a jury
| should be packed with men all under
separate Indictment, and that they
should thus be eligible to sit upon
and decide one another's cases
Through this vital vote in which the
seventy-flve stolen delegates joined
the convention was organized and
the stolen delegates controlled the
nomination for President by the slen-
| der majority of twenty-one.
when this great National larceny
aided by Maryland votes, was accom-
plished, Theodore Roosevelt declined
to have his name presented to taint
ed convention and requested his dele
gates to refrain from voting. There
