WilkersOn Overwhelmed.
He was overwhelmed by the YER

jury had been out nineteen hours. At
no time during the deliberations were
the packers in danger Only three
ballots were taken. The first was 8
to 4 for acquittal, the second IL to

case beyond reasonable doubt was
responsible for the verdict, several
jurors said. They did not review the

USELESS, it was agreed The verdict

The results in these states at the
primaries go to show that the Re
publicans are having the worst mix
UP ever known before. The worst
kind of fraud is charged by the
Roosevelt people and there is no tell

won under his steam roller process,
but still a bitter contest will follow.

 PATENT COSTS

At the meeting of the Com mon Council Wednesday even- ing, the question of a fair dis tribution of costs or the Town site survey came up for discus sion, and was left to the Trust ee. As originally planned 1t was the intention to decide on a valuation for every lot i'll town, and then assess each one a pro- portionate amount. In the case of cheap lots, which cost just as much as the more valuable ones to survey, this was man.

A VERY BUSY WEEK IN TOWN

With two fires, a St. Patrick s Day dance, two Socialist lec- lures. a Republican primary, a caucus and primary for the forthcoming municipal election and a dozen other things all in the past seven days, the week was busy one.
 Owing to the small crowd present the annual ball of the Eagles last Friday night wasn't quite the success 1t was expect ed to be, but those who were there had a most enjoyable time.
 Saturday evening the local Republicans elected Martin Bugye. F. II. Burkhart, Al Gurr and Chas. Taylor delegates to the territorial convention at Cor dova on the 31st. About forty men were present, and the elec- lions were unanimous.
 The firemen had a hard run of it Saturday evening, when a shack in NewtOwn, down the hill from Roy Thompson's, caught fire and was burned to the ground before water could be gotten onto it. The last hy- drant is so far this way, that the hose usually carried was not long enough, so that all that the boys could do was to stand and watch the fire burn. The main is laid over the top of the hill, and it is a pity that there isn't another hydrant we'll along toward the end of the pipe. The chief event of Sunday and Monday was the presence in town of John c. Chase, lec- turer and organizer for the Ma tlonal Socialist party. Mir. Chase arrived on the Humboldt, and proved to be a very pleasant gentleman to meet. Sunday af- ternoon at three o'clock, he held his first public meeting in Alas ka at Red Mems Hall, having large and attentive audience, whom he held interested for ful

A SAD OCCURRENCE

Dr. Geo. E. Dickinson, was a passenger up on the Humboldt from Seattle, whither he went in charge of c. w. Schreurs, who had been stricken with uremic absorption while work ing at the government hatchery at Yes Bay. The man was uh- conscious when brought to town, and nothing could be done for lis relief, and he died short ly after leaving ketchikan for the south. Dr. Dickinson al tended to shipping the body to Muskatine. Iowa, where the relatives of the dead man re- side. The widow accompanied the body east.

fly an hour and half, as he dealt with the social and econ- omic conditions of the world and particularly of the United States, which have caused the creation and growth of the Soc Iialist movement, offering as the remedy the election of Social ists 10 the different positions Of trust in the country, who would enact laws calling for the grad nal absorption of the larger in duslries of the land. Monday evening he dealt largely with what Socialists had accomplish ed in the matter of municipal government throughout the country, telling of the num- Der of towns and cities under either complete or partial Soc ialist government, and calling on ketchillan Socialists to put up a complete ticket in the com- ing municipal campaign. He al so told how the central society of the Socialist movement had sent him north to aid in a cam paiSn of education for the pur- pose of electing if possible delegate to congress in the cleo ton this fall. Throughout both meetings the audience lent all attentive ear to Mr. Chase, who talks in convincing manner, and coming as it does from man who has been through the mill, the meetings are bound to benefit his cause.
 After the Monday night meet ing the local here selected the following ticket to represent them ill the coming election:

HURT BY BROKEN CABLE

Emil Larson in charge of the Wiese cannery at Rose Inlet, on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island brought in Ole Larson for medical treatment, Wednesday of this week. The injured man was one of a gang employed in clearing the site for the new cannery when the cable used in hauling the debris broke, and the loose end struck him on the back of the head. He recovered partial conscious ness, but remaind dazed, so he was brought here to see If some thing could be done for him.

COBB THE FISH
 MAN QUITS JOB

Word comes from the south that there is every probability that John N. Cobb, the salmon commissioner, is contemplat.- ing going out of te government service and entering the cod fishing business to the West ward on his own account, with headquarters at San Francisco. The retirement of Mir. Cobb from the fisheries service will cause genuine regret in South eastern Alaska. It is perhaps a safe predictIond to say that there is not a better posted fish cries authority in the United States today than Mr. Cobb. His work the past few years has been the untiring brand and he is sure to enter upon his new venture we'll qualified to meet success.

NEW FISHING
 LEGISLATlCM

During the past week, Sen ator Wesley L. Jones of Wash ington, introduced bill in the Senate amending the fishing laws of the territory of Alaska. The tax on red salmon is to be raised from the present four cent rate to seven cents per case; medium reds will be re- .quired to pay five cents per case, while the humble and re- liable "hnmpie" will pay four cents as at present. All fish traps will be required 10 pay an annual license of S100, a. there is a probability that this rate will be doubled. Another section of the bill prohibits the taking of fish by aliens. The smaller companies are content that the measure as a whole is not unjust, but some of those more heavily affected are pro- testing. Another section of the proposed law provides for the operation of hatcheries in AL aska in the future by the gov ernment alone, provision being made for taking over the vari ous corporation owned cor l. cerns now in actual operation, at a price to be decided on by the department.

LONDON, July 13.-Chancellor
of the Exchequer David Lloyd
George gave to the United Press
today his first interview concern
ing the workmen's insurance act,
which becomes effective Monday
throughout the British Isles. I'm
questionably the law is the most
radical piece of sociological leg
isiation ever placed upon the
statute books of any nation.
In his interview with the Unit
ed Press, Chancellor Lloyd George
tells In detail, as follows, what he
expects workmen's insurance ia
do for England and what he be-
lieves 1t will lead to.
Copyright, 1912, by the United

BY the Right Hon. David Lloyd
George, Chancellor of the Elk
chequer Of Great Britain.
The workmen's insurance act
aims to make provision for keep
ing the household from poverty
to keep the worker and his family
from pauperism in the dark days
of sickness which come to every
household In turn, and to guaran-
tee against suffering from unem-
ployment for which the workman
is not responsible.
1t will help the mother at child
birth and will inaugurate great
national campaign against con-
sumption.
And now that the workmen's In
surance act will be In full opera
ton next Monday, we intend to
put our hands to the great work
Of freeing the land. which was
meant for the use OF the many but
which has drifted into the hands
of few; to the work Of freeine
it for the people and for their chill.

a gigantic insurance company. The
proportion of contributions varies
according to the age and pay of
Iemployes, but generally speaking
the employee will be called upon
to pay eight cents weekly for his
insurance, the employer 6 cents,
and the government four cents.
A workman who falls i'll will
be entitled to a weekly allowance
|of $3.50 for 26 weeks and free
medical attention from physi-
clan.
For consumptives, government
sanitariums will be provided.
Workmen who break down per-
manently will receive life pensions
Iof $1.25 weekly each.
The wife of an insured work
man will receive $3.50 upon the
birth of each child.
Working women will be re-
CURED to pay two cents weekly
less than men, but in the event of
sickness will be paid only $1.75
each weekly.
