FIRST ROMANCE
 IN WILSON FAMILY

HAMILTON, Bermuda, - That the first romance in the family of Presi- dent.elect Wilson is in an advanced stage of development Is indicated by the arrival here today of Kenneth L. Fills of Mount Vernon. N, Y, Princeton sophomore.

NOTARY TELLS HOW
 IT WAS DONE

VALDEZ, Dec. 12.-The evidence in the cases of the United States against F. T. Barnette and Lewis Wing of the failed Washington.Alaska bank of Fairbanks, showed that no oath had been taken by Notary Clark, who af- fixed his signature to the alleged false affidavit showing the banks financial condition upon which the perjury in- dictments against Barnette and Wing were based. The bank statement had been written in Clarlts office where he signed it and affixed his notarial seal, and then took the paper to the bank. Neither Barnette nor Wing was there, and so Clark left the afida- wit at the bank to be signed by the defendants
 Clark testified that he did not sec the papers again for two or three months and that he did not adminis- ter an oath to either Barnette or Wing.
 Barnette and Wing are again on trial, the charge against them being that of publishing a false statement concerning the assets of the bank. The jury is being held together dur ing this trial.

LONDON. Dec. 13.-The Irish Home Rule Bill passed the committee stage last night in the House of Commons amid great demonstrations.
 This means that the government will pass the measure in spite of all opposition, either in the Commons or in the House of Lords, the powers of the latter having been limited last year.
 Sir John Simon, the solicitor gen eral, in urging the bill in the commit tee said that great part of the pub lie statutes of the realm, dealing with the most important subject land, education and poor law-are quite different in the two countries. Why, then, should Englishmen, Scots men and Welshmen (who have their own affairs to look after) have the controlling voice in deciding these Irish matters, with which they are unfamiliar, but which touch so close ly the daily lives of the Irish peo- pie?
 Whot is true about Irish legisla- ton. continued the solicitor-General, Is still more true about Irish adminis- tration. No enthusiasm for the Act of Union can obscure the fact that

IRISH HOME. RULE BILL
 PASSES THE FIRST STAGE

Ireland is, both for legislation and administration, a separate entity from England. Home rule does not mean that in Legislation and administration Ireland will begin to be treated as separate from England, for that hap pens already. Home rule means that Ireland will be given in fact con trol over it's own local affairs, which the past practice of the Imperial Gov ernment (whatever Government may happen to be in power) recognizes to be a separate subject of admin istration.
 The same law that applies to the rest of Ireland applies to Ulster. The same Irish departments which deal with the rest of Ireland deal with Bel fast. You do not prove that Ireland consists of two nations Gas MT. Bal four argues) by pointing to the unhap- py fact that Protestants in Belfast sometimes do not see eye to eye with the mass Of their Roman Catholic fellow subjects. Once remove the per ennial cause of the quarrel which the present system preserves and fo- ments and we shall find that in es- sentials Irish problems are the same in Ulster as elsewhere.

 Itow has been in jail ever since his preliminary hearing at Ketchikan. Fushimi was subpoensed as a witness and has been at large until just few minutes before his indictment joint ly with Itow for the murder.
 The murdered boy Dunn came from Ohio and was barely out of his teens. He was employed at the cannery of which Itow was foreman at the time of the murder,
 The details of the crime are with held by The Empire at this time ow- ing to the fact that a jury will be shortly empaneled to try the case, and prejudice might be created.

 Each will have a sheaf of recom- mendations and miscellaneous ere dentials big enough to paper the walls of the particular departmental build ing in which he wants to have the most comfortable office. It is pre- dicted however, that recommenda- tions and credentials will all go for naught in this matter this year, for Woodrow Wilson is reported to be un- approachable and unbending.
 President Usually Aeceps Advice
 The Cabinet has no power under the law to force the President to ac' ccpt and follow its advices, but it has long been the custom for Ameri- can Presidents to adhere closely to the counsels of their Cabinets, espe- cially in cases where the ministerial admonitions coincide with the origin al executive opinion.
 On the theory that the President should be permitted to choose his own advisers no legislative direction is given him, but on the supplement tary theory that the President should not be allowed to bring an unreliable person into his Cabinet, the Consti- tuition has provided that all public officers must be appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, a clause which frequently places beyond the pale man whom a President.elect would particularly delight to honor.
 The matter sinners down, then, to this: The President may choose the men he wants for his Cabinet, pro- vided the Senate has no reason to be- lieve that the men proposed will be other than docile, pleasing and or derly, and will cast no obstacles in the pathway of the political party in power. Cabinet ministers must be eff hcient men and ornaments to Wash ington officialdom, the men least like ly of all the public men of the ma. ton, to commit unwise and impru- J dent actions.

At two o'clock this afternoon the grand jury in a true bill charged murder in the first degree against c. Itow and F. Fushimi. both Japanese cannery employees, for the killing of Frank Dunn, white boy on July IA last at the Dundas cannery near Fix cursion Inlet. The indictment charges that the boy Dunn was killed by a 2S.inch sword in the hands of defend ants which was thrust into the left shoulder entering into and through he trunk of the body. and he died from the effects of this assault which is charged as wilful and malicious murder.
 At 2:3O the two were brought be- fore Judge Overfeld for arraignment. cooly listened as the interpreter read cooly listened as the interprter read the indictment in their native tongue. Fushimi. on the other hand, dropped

WAR ON
 THE YUKON RIVER

The White Pass has made no rates on Dawson shipments for the coming season, and there is no intimation of when the train will be issued, but 1t usually comes out late in the spring. The White Pass people have been building two new boats at White horse this season and President Dick esoa announced not long ago that he would have boats ready in the spring for the lower river business even if it was necessary to make them and assemble them in the spring at the head of the Yukon. The White Pass is financed by Close Brothers, and it was said recently in one of the coast papers that they are backed by the Rothschilds. The Northern Conner cial Company is owned by the slosses and Gerstles of San Francisco, the merchant princes of the Pacific, who made their wealth largely out of Alas ka sealeries, canneries and trading posts. and have multiplied 1t in num- erous investments in California, es- pecially in fruit and oil. It is claimed a traffic war on the Yukon would be no strain on them. On the other hand, friends of the White Pass peo- pie say that their backing is equally as strong, and that when 1t comes to matter of slash and endurance the war can be waged for months, if not years, with no call for quarter.
 Some, however. seem to think that a truce may be patched up eventual ly so that the two companies will un- derstand each other as they have in the past, when the rates remained uniformly high. and one company con. fined itself practically to the upper river traffic, and the other made lit tie attempt ot bring freight to Daw'
 son except for its own use.
The Alaska daily empire., 1912-12-13

There is going to be some rate making the coming year on interior business. if the promises Of the White Pass management and the N. c. Company amount to anything. Since the announcement by Pres: ident Dickson that the White Pass is going to put boats on the lower Yukon in completion with the trans pcrtatioU companies already there. considerable speculation has been ndulged in as to what would be the result.
 Manager o. s. Laning of the N. C. Company in an authoritiye state ment to the Dawson News says that he has instructions from the home office of the Northern Commercial Company, in San Francisco, to state that the people Of Dawson will be given a rate by the N. c. which will be worth their while to con slider. He says that the N c. Com pany will quote rates that will be satisfactory to all bringing in freight. As to the question of boats, he says the N. c. Company has 2S steamers on the lower Yukon, and can put al! in the water should there ever be Q demand for their services, but as Dawson imports but 10000 tons in the aggregate in the year. he thinks a few of the fleet will be able to han, de the traffic. The Louise alone, he says. can bring 1,SOO tons of freight from St. Michael to Dawson in l6 days. She was on the ways at St. Michael all last season, undergo ing extensive repairs. This boat and the three packets, Susie. Hannah and Sarah. says Mir Laning, will be avail able if wanted for the Dawson ser vice. Other boats also will be in com mission.

A Washington special says: Never yet did king, prince or potentate rise to position of supreme power with. oat bringing about slightly lesser exaltation of a number of other men, as an accompaniment to his own ac- cassion. Any man in high place is like a comet, which. rushing across the skies, drags behind it a tail Of LriIliance. And even in the United States it has long been the custom and the law for the President, upon his election, to elevate to the dignity of Cabinet ministers certain of his coadjutors, whom he may choose.
 The time is rapidly approaching when new executive head of the nation will assume the office to which the people of the country have elect ed him, and with the advent of that hour the making of a new Cabinet will be begun. Now that tn sus pense of waiting for the news of the election of new President is passed the country has progressed to the next stage of the game and practical ly every one the nation over is busy selecting a Presidents Cabinet as Kentucky Colonel picking winners al horse race.
