the murder car the night Rosenthal
was shot, surrendered himself to the po-
lice this morning, and within ten days
Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty
expects to round up the whole gang.
With the men who actually did the
shooting in the tolls the main work of
District Attorney Whitman and Deputy
Police Commissioner Dougherty will COM
mence, that of trying to learn the identity
of the conspirators who so greatly de-
sired that Rosenthal be done away with
before he could make further revelations
of the relations between the police and
gamblers.
Several of New York's prominent citi-
zens have offered to pay for a private in
vestigation into the question Of whether
police partnership with gamblers led to
the Staying of Rosenthal.
The surrender of Nallon may be fol-
lowed by the voluntary appearance of
the other gangsters known to have been
in the murder car the night of the
killing. Besides WALTON there were Harry
HorwitZ, best known as Glib the Blood" :

tallon's appearance at police headquar-
ters dumfounded the desk sergeant. and
he had to convince the sergeant as to his

Vallon drew up at headquarters in a

SALT LAKE. Aug 31.-Professor Starr Jordan jumped into the shoes of Professor Osler today here when during an address. he declared him self in favor of using the methods of Luther Burbank for the propagation of the human kind The professor de- clared his belief that the present de- generate tendencies are due to the mismating of men and women. and that the matter should be taken up and treated scientifically in future. He declared this mismating to be the result of nasty marriages brought about in most cases by a sort of su perficial attraction which young men and women are prone to regard as real affection. That science could be brought to bear with good results in the matter Is the professors belief. The word "Burbankin" promises now to have the vogue formerly enjoyed by the word "Oslerization"

belief that he would not confine him self to strict political lines. He would be a candidate for the senate.
 The chances are much in favor of his being a candidate.
 The same may be said of Judge T. NJ. Reed. Judge Reed admits that he has a desire to have an opportunity to bring about some changes in certain laws now in existence in the territory One of these laws is the one relating to attachments and another is the lien law, both of which the judge wishes to see amended. He considers it almost outrageous that attachments can now be obtained for so small a cause and that a man can have his business stopped completely because of being in debt to ridiculously small extent
 The judge has been approached by many friends since his name has been mentioned as probable candidate and efforts have been made to bring him out definitely but he is still on the fence.

The Nome daily nugget., 1912-09-02

Several men are now being spoken of as candidates for election from this district to the legislature at the election next November.
 The only candidate so far who ap- pears to be certain to make the race is Frank Aldrich. Mir. Aldrich Is not in the city at present and his definite decision in the matter could not Dc learned. but his friends seem to think there is no doubt that he will be a candidate.
 Elwood Bruner has also been men, toned and has been interviewed with a view to having his intention pub lished. The judge is at present non- committal, but does not mind saying that he contemplates being g candi- date. It is probable that if he de- cides to run he would run more or less as an independent, but his views on this phase of the matter have not been given out. He has been promised the support of a large number of peo- pie of all political complexions and this fact may have given rise to the

Gaffney confines himself to the simple state ment that the democratic committee of this district has done nothing so far as he knows and certainly has not ap- preached him with view to having him run. Mir. Gaffney seemed dis inclined to make any very positive statement when questioned.
 Il is rumored that the socialists will make a strong effort to capture some seats. but nothing definite seems to be contemplated by any of the other par ties as such.
 It is rumored that the socialists will that any man running for the office must leave for the outside before cleo tion day. and this will rather compli- cate matters. It Is recognized that very few men capable of filling the office properly can afford to spent so much time for so small a remunera- ton and it is believed that considera- ble difficulty will be experienced by all parties in obtaining good timber

The work of mining has taken such gigantic strides around Nome recent ly that veritable blockade has taken place owing to the want of sufficient teams to meet the great demand for the hauling of freight to the different creeks.
 That the amount of mining being done is very much greater than the amount done last year Is proven by the fact that greater number of teams is now at hand to handle the freight. but is still totally inadequate. The firm of W. J. Rowe alone brought in an additional twelve horses this spring. but in spite of this fact freight is now lying waiting and the work of hauling 1t to the creeks is behind a' least five days.
