have had the same kinds of fits and spasms in
the West Virginia investigation that the New

is there two sides. We have heard from
one. The Associated Press is supposed to be
the exponent and organ of the capitalists. Its
agents have all the say. Newspaper men gem
orally are denied access to the West Virginia
fields Now let the Associated Press give us
exactly the evidence presented before the
senators. The country wants to get the truth
of the trouble. The mine operators say the
men have been forced TO strike they did not
want by the pressure OF outside operators and
Italians, people melted from their birth and
other side have stories that the miners were
exorbitant prices. and held in conditions
of virtual slavery. Let us have the truth and
the facts. From general observation here and
along the lines cannot how there could
have been anything like peonage or slavery with
telegraph lines to the consulates and trains

could pay dollar two
Nevertheless. let get the truth without any

BANK WRECKER
 sQU|RM|NG HARD Five Years to Serve for Larceny of Oregon Educational
 Funds.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. l2.-- The Supreme Court declined to- day to interfere with the five-year pcnitentiary sentence imposed upon J. Thorburn Ross, former pres ident of the Title Guarantee X Trust company, of Portland, Ore.. convicted of larceny of state educational funds in his bank during the panic of 1907.
 The trial court. in addition to the fiVe-year sentence. imposed a fine of s576.8i3.7l, or an all ternate confinement in the county jail amounting to 790 years. The supreme court of Oregon had set aside the fine and alternate con- finement as excessive.
 Two attempts have been made to have a pardon granted to Ross. When Jay Bowerman was acting governor, after the death of Gov. Benson, a delegation of business men engaged a special train and went to Salem to lay the matter before him. Bowerman refused to act. When Sam Selling, on being elected president of the senate, succeeded BOWerman for 2i hours as governor of the state. another delegation went to Salem to SO- licit a pardon for Ross. Selling took the ground that as he was governor only temporarily, he did not feel justified in exercising the not to the extent of granting a pardon.

PREPARING TO WAGE RATE
 WAR IN OCEAN TRAFFIC

Vienna, Feb. i2.-Rrports cur rent today in Austrian shipping circles indicate that the German Atlantic steamship pool is pre- pairing ln wage a fierce rate war against tEe new Trieste Mon- treal service about to be started by the Canadian Pacific company.

 The Canadian company is ar ranging to begin a monthly ser- vice in March, increasing the sail ing dates of it's vessels as the traffic requires. The company is opening g emigration offices in various centres of Austria. es- pecially at the chief fronts along the Russian frontier, hoping thereby to get a share of the large emigration traffic hitherto mo- nopolized by the German lines.

CH|NKS MAY BUY
 NOME JADE MINE
A Shipment Made Last Fall to China Causes Jade Cutters
 to Investigate.

The following article, taken from the Nome Nugget, which ar rived here yesterday, tells of the possibility of the purchase by Chinese jade cutters of the jade deposits found near Nome:
 A Chinaman, who represents the jade manufacturers of Can ton, China, will arrive on one of the first boals in the spring to examine the jade mines of the Kobuk according to Walter Koen, who has just returned to Nome from the outside. Mr. Koen, who is the owner of the mine, return- ed to Sl. Michael on the last trip north of Inc Senator this fall and has remained at that port since, waiting to hear from China. He shipped out ton of the jade last summer to San Francisco and from there it was shipped to Can ton. Although the freight. to San l TIdIClSto CoSt dOoul "l lc pSA t'ii 1 the charges from San Francisco to China were only S8.50 ton. Canton is the chief jade cutting center of the world, having no less than six great firms engaged in the work. They have purchased the ton of rock from Mr. Koen and have become deeply interest cd in his discovery. His property carries a large amount of the jade.
 In his necklit Mir. knen wears a pin made from jade out of his own mine. He finds that the stone which the cutters like best is the white with blue through il. and not the stone which is all blue. Of the former kind he has large quant itieS and expects that he holds one of the most valuable properties in Alaska. The Chi neSe people decided at once. on receiving information about the knbuk jade, to send a man spec tally here to investigate.
