SHOE TRUST WAGES
Springfield, ILL.,, April ga report
on the starvation wages paid to the
girl employees of the International
Shoe Company will be sent to Presi-
dent Wilson as a result of the inves-
tigation conducted by the Illinois
Senate Welfare Commission at its
meeting here yesterday.
This company is incorporated in
Illinois and Missouri for $25, 100000
Lieut.-Gov. Barratt O'Hara, chair
man of the Illinois commission, last
night telegraphed Lieut.-Gov. Payn-
ter of Missouri asking that he in
vestigate the wages paid employees of
the company's plant in that state.
Yesterdays session of the commits
sion showed that there are girls
working in Springfield for as low as
80 cents a day or $1.S0 week. And
some of these girls work 9 hours
day.
Girls in the International Shoe
Company are forced to sew dozen
shoe tips for nothing for every tip
accidentally spoiled.
In this same place girls are fined
10 cents for every minutes they are
late. Bill Alexander, foreman of the
shoe company, is said to curse at the
girls and Jerk them around.
Agnes McGill, tired, haggard-
looking girl of Fl, gave the most of
these facts concerning the methods
of the International Shoe Company.
She has been working to support
her widowed mother for the last five

Prisoner Escapes from
 Jail But is Caught

lot of mining claims along the hills forming the valley of Skagway river near town and told glowing stories of what he would do in the mining world and all to the great benefit of Skag- way. Since the Skagway victims have caused his arrest he asserts he will withdraw all his enterprises from that place and that the town will suffer through the loss
 This is not the first time that Car roll has figured in escapades of this kind. Two years ago he was arrested down at Eagle river on a similar charge by Deputy Marshal w. D. Me Mullen. McMullen started toward the beach with his prisoner when the latter suddenly plunged into the thick underbrush and escaped in the tim bered hills. He was not apprehended again for four months. This charge was finally dismissed and Carroll again was given his liberty.
 Carroll is a grizzled, sandy gray compleXioned man about 60 years old and claims to be a graduate of OK ford. He talks fuently and has a ready explanation for everything that he does and contemplates doing. He quote freely from Aristotle Plato and other philosophers.

c. K Carroll, a prisoner in the fed eral jail bound over to await the ac. ton of the grand jury, escaped this morning about eight o'clock but was apprehended shortly after and is again under lock and key
 The prisoner vas going with the guard Ike O'Meara after some hot wa ter and suddenly dropped the pails he was carrying, shot out of the build ing and slipped over the embankment of Court House hill to the walk on the beach below Reaching this point he ran through Aux Indian Village and crawled under a cabin on the flats nearby. OMeara hurriedly stuck a revolver on his person and gave chase. The escaped man was found and per suaded to come out by training the revolver on him. A few minutes later he was marched up the hill and locked up once more.
 Carroll is charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. The par ticular provocation was issuing some sixteen worthless checks to diff ferent parties in Skagway last winter totaling about $175. Carroll went up there with some sort of an idea that he was mining promoter He staked

DALTON PURCHASES
 MACHINERY FOR MILL

Jack Dalton, who is developing his mining properties at Three Tree Point near COrdova stopped over in Juneau on some business matters. He has been down in the States for the past five weeks and while out pur- chased some machinery for his saw mill at Cordova which is situated near the mining property. He also bought a compressor that will be used in con- nection with the development of the mines.
 A splendid water power has been developed and the plant is now estab- lished and working. In addition to furnishing power for the saw mill it turns out energy for the electric light plant and will run the mines. The saw mill has a daily capacity of 25,000 feet board measurement
 All of the difficulty between MT. Dalton and the Katalla company over the right to possession of the mining claims and waterfront have been set tied to the satisfaction of both parties to the controversy.

N COBB IS
 AGAIN SUSPENDED

CHICAGO, July IT. - Ty Cobb, the most famous of all baseball players, was again indefinitely suspended from professional baseball yesterday on ac- count of a row that he had with Um- pire Hildebrand in a game between the Philadelphia Athletics and the De troit team to which Cobb belongs. The baseball season began this year with Cobb under suspension, but he was taken back by the Detroit team and the charges against him were wiped off upon the payment of fine for him. It was believed then there would be an end of the turbulence that has marked the last few years of the great outfielder's professional ca rerr but he seems now to be in as bad as ever he has been.

 RAPIDLY FINISHED
-O-O-

The City of Juneau is at the pres ent time employing all the men that can be worked to advantage on the public work that is now under way. Owing to the near approach of the wet season City Engineer B. D. Blakeslee is making vigorous efforts to get the new sewers laid and all of the street grading that is imperativeiy needed fin ished and is therefore rushing work in those sections.

DETAILED STORY
 OF STUCKS CLIMB

Arohdeacon Hudson Stuck, who made the successful climb of Mt. Me Kinley in Juneu, last, will leave for the States in few weeks to present his [ data of the climb before the mathe- maticians of Harvard for certified compilation, according to the state ments of G. F. Kilroy. of Iditarod, who was in the city last week.
 The Archdeacon also declares that he will request the National Geograph- ic Society to change the name of the big mountain to the old Indian one of Dinal.
 Mir. KilrOy met the party on their return to Panama on June 2Oth, the point from which the success of the ex- petition was flashed to the outside world. Though considerably elated at their success, the party presented the appearance of having undergone many privations and hardships dur ing the climb.
 Speaking of his interview with Arch deacon Stuck, Mir. Kilroy said:
 During the ascent Mir. Stuck took careful note of former expeditions and has conclusive proof that the Lloyd party did not make the summit but planted their flag on a peak almost a mile distant from the top of the mountain proper and at an altitude of only 800 feet lower.
 "The plans of the expedition were we'll laid Supplies for the trip had been sreighted by water to the nearest base point last fall, and from there hauled by dog team to the 12000-foot level in March Considerable difficult ty was experienced as many crevas- ses had to be bridged, and long de- tours made.
 At this point further preparations as to rations were made. Several car ibOu and mountain sheep were killed and a sourdOugh pemmican made by boiling the meat down in a small quan- tity of water This was the princi- pal food of the party, and it was most sustaining.
 All supplies had to be packed by the climbers from this point They had to cut steps in the iceclad slope to the 1S.OOO-foot level At 13,OOO feet, a hanging glacier was encoun- tered This was fed from the upper basin of the mountain and presented an awesome appearance, added to which occasional avalanches of hang ing ice struck terror into the intrepid ones.
 "A cache at the 14OOO-foot level caught fire, through carelessness on the part of one of the climbers, and the party lost their tents, sugar, cOf fee and cream, as well as the larger camera films. An improvised tent was made from a sled cover, which acted as a close cover for the remain der of the time on the mountain.

1876. Notwithstanding this fact. sew
eral suits have been brought by neigh
boring states to deprive us of the use
of these waters, and more suits are
threatened. Unhappily, several bu-
reaus of the federal government, which
gave us these streams. are interyen-
ing against us. Every stream rising
within the state is involved in this
controversy. The most pressing is the
suit brought directly in the Supreme
Court of the United States by the state
of Wyoming. Inasmuch as the same
principles are very largely included in
all of these cases, it is important that
we win the first. Attorneys who have
examined into the matter believe there
is no doubt of our success in the trial
if we properly prepare for it.
State Institutions.
The demand upon a new state for
educational, penal and charitable in
stitutions is always great. This is es
pecially true of our educational insti-
tutions in Colorado. Our natural re-
sources are of great variety, and their
development involves problems as nu-
merous as those to be met by the en-
tire country. We have half the min
erals known to the world, and all the
mining problems of this continent. To
develop our immense area OF mineral
land, it is necessary to give the widest
range of education to the young men
going into this business. Our agricul-
tural resources are equally varied, and
all of them are different from those
existing in the East. Whether the
settler comes to the dry farming dis
tricts, under irrigating canals, into the
mountains or the fruit-growing valleys,
he must learn a new way to farm.
Board of immigration.
Not 10 per cent of the area of this
state is developed to any considerable
extent, and not per cent as it should
be. Our mineral lands, except in
small areas, have scarcely been pros
pected. Less than 4 per cent of our
water power is developed. We have
sufficient known coal, to say nothing
of undiscovered fields. to supply the
entire world, at the present rate of
consumption, for more than three hun

dred years. We are bringing into this
state annually two million dollars of
clay products when we have vast guam
titles of a better quality of the same
clayS at home A similar condition
exists as to many of our other re-
sources. Our opportunities for cheap
power are practically unlimited. We
are in the center of the Rocky Noun
tain region, apd can offer industrial
possibilities unequalcd by any other
state in the Union. To occupy our
lands and utilize these advantages we
must have more people and more cap.

accurate statistics and facts concern

and distribute them among the people
of the East who are looking for homes

Reapportionment.
/ cannot urge too strongly the nee
essity of fair apportionment of legis.
lative and congressional districts.
Since the last general enactments on
this subject the population of the state
has so shifted as to make the present
division ridiculously unjust. Attempts,
too often made, to gerrymander for
partisan advantage are likely to have
exactly the opposite result from that
intended.
Elections.
The people of Colorado are to be
congratulated on the fact that our re.
cent election was freer from corrupt
practices than any held in many
years. This does not mean that the
conditions were as good as they should
be, but that we have made material

AS was to be expected, experience
has pointed out some defects in the
direct primary law. One of the main
objects to be attained was the elm
nation of conventions controlled by
political trades. The assemblies held
during the past year have proven con-
clusively that they too will be CON
trolled by the same influences, and
to an exaggerated degree, because of
the lack of responsibility of assembly
action. / therefore recommend that
the assembly feature of the direct pri-
mary law be repealed, if it cannot be
amended to effectively carry out its
original purpose.
There has grown up the custom OF
giving executive officers two terms of
office. The apparent reason for this
is that people believe one term of two
years is not sufficiently long to carry
out any definite policy. There is no
doubt that many evils in administra-
ton arise through candidacy for re-
election. l am thoroughly convinced
that only one term should be allowed
to elective executive officers, and
that II an additional period of service
be deemed advisable, the term of SER
vice be extended to four years and re-
election made impossible. BY adopt.
ing this arrangement and fixing the
time of the state election between the
presidential elections. the ballot would
be shortened, state politics to n con-
siderable extent divorced from ma
tional politics. and voters attcAtion
