ANOTHER KIMMEL
CASE IN SIGHT
Jackson Man, Believed Burned in
1882, Returns to Collect
Alleged Debt

JACKSON, Mich, April 25.-What
looks like another Kimmel case has
developed in Jackson with the return
Of w. n. Flagler, who was believed
to have met death in fire which de-
stroyed the Jackson county house in
1882 with loss Of four lives. Re-
Gently, however, man who claims TO
be Flagler, and says he Is very much
alive, has turned up in this city.
Moreover, he declares that an uncle
Ia Leoni township whose name is also
Flagler, owes him 81 400 which he In
tends to collect. The uncle asserts
that his supposed nephew Is an i'm
poster. Flagler says he escaped from
the county farm during the fire.
Flagler's mother. woman OF 50
years, Is convinced that the claimant
Is genuine.
After an interview with the super-
intendent Of the poor In which he de-
clared that he was seeking proofs or
his identity, Flagler left town. saying
that he would return.

of the expedition Is not known.
AS for the city. IL has gone back to
its everyday life, and the rifles on
the surface have smoothed themselves
away. In outside appearances every
thing is as before. Yet for the pres

SECRETARY LANE TALKS ON
 ALASKA RAILROAD SITUATION

Washington, Oct. Il.-Arriving at his desk after his long absence, Secretary of the Interior Lane said to the reporters:
 Il have a specific conviction regarding the Alaska railroad situation. The time will come when we will need not only a com plete government owned and government operated railroad through Alaska, but an overland railroad system to Alaska from Puget sound, and possibly from Chicago. Alaska is bound to develop rapidly now, and it will be necessary to keep that territory in complete and constant commune aton with the United States proper. This can be done only by means of direct rail com munication, which l believe must eventu- ally materlalize. This government should at once begin negotiations with Canada whereby we could use one of their present roads, which would require only the build ing of 200 miles of railroad to connect the transcontinental line with the railway sys- tenn now proposed by the administration for the interior of Alaska Canada seems will ing to meet us more than half way in this matter"

HENRY AGAIN IN TROUBLE
Panama Newspaper Man Remanded to Gus
 tody of Marshal


 George Hinton Henry, the Hot Springs and Tanana newspaper man, is again in the tolls of the law, Judge F. E. Fuller hay ing dismissed he habeas corpus proceedings which were instituted some time ago by Commissioner Dehn of Panama MT. Henry is charged with criminal libel, the warrant for his arrest having been issued some time ago by Commissioner Golfer at Hot Springs. He is now in the custody of Deputy Mar shal J. L. Anders and will be taken back to Hot Springs for trial.
 It seems that at the time the warrant was issued Henry was at Tanana. When arrested by the deputy he at once insti- tuted habeas corpus proceedings and was released from custody by Commissioner Dehn, who in releasing the man. is stated to have taken the powers of district judge into his own hands, having no authority according to law to release man who had been arrested on a warrant issued by an- other commissioner.
