A Government-Owne Railroad i'm
Alaska.
Baltimore Evening Sum-

{ Baltimore Evening Sum-
President Taft's recommendation
that the Government buy and extend
the Alaska Central Railway will not
surprise those who are familiar with
the situation of affairs in that terri
terry The trouble with the existing
laws regarding the development of
coal lands there-laws as yet unre-
pealed, but held up by Executive or
der-is that they do not permit indi-
viduals to take up claims large
enough to justify mining of the coal,
while at the same time they prohibit
agreements in advance between the
individual settlers such as would
allow profitable mining. The pro-
posed leasing laws, while guarantee
ing fair return to the Government
for the valuable coal rights, do not
promise the tremendous profits
which syndicate of the Morgan
Guggenheim type usually demands
Such syndicates ask monopoly OF
nothing. A railroad, of course, is
necessary to get the coal to tide
water, and If private enterprise won's
build it the Government must.
The experiment might be interest
ing for the light it would throw on
the value of Government ownership
in this country.

Married in Jail-Event Followed a
Homicide.

A special to the Charlotte Obser-
yer says that Clyde Chiffon and
pretty Beulah Stone were married
in the county pail at Rockingham
Monday afternoon. Chiffon left
next day to begin a 12-months' SEN
tence on the roads of Columbus
County, to which he was recently
sentenced by Judge Whedbee for
carrying a pistol after he had been
tried and acquitted by a jury of a
charge of numbering Sank Morse in
September, 1911.
Morse and Chiffon were rivals
for the hand of Beulah Stone, an
18-year-old Great Falls cotton mill
operative, each having received as
surance that led him to believe
himself the favored one, upon the
strength of which each had purchas-
ed marriage license. On the night
of the killing, Chiffon and Beulah
Stone were overtaken on the street
by Morse, who demanded that the
girl go with him. She refused,
Morse took hold of her and at the
same time struck Chiffon, who was
demonstrating. Then Chiffon shot
and killed Morse. He was acquit-
ted on the plea of self-defense.

After litigation that has been
fought in the Delaware county courts
nearly two years, at an expense of
several hundred dollars, Harry Tyler
has been awarded possession OF a
collie dog, which had been claimed
by Emma Schriner.
Tyler testified that he owned the
puppy, which wandered away one
day to the store OF Richard Purdy,
whose attendant. when closing time
came, gave the dog away to a little
boy, who subsequently sold it to
Mrs. Schriner for 81. Learning
where his dog was, Tyler made a de-
mand for it, but Mrs. Schriner, be-
lieving that the little animal was
hers by right of purchase, refused to
give it up. A law suit followed.
