United States Commissioner J. B. Marshall this morning began an in vestigation into the death of G. Las silla, Finlander, killed o'clock last Wednesday by Gust Jwusola, anothe native of Finland, in a bunkhouse at Tenakee. The coroner's inquest which was called to inquire into the case was continued until witnesses can be secured to tell more about the affair.
 The residents Of Tenakee held a meeting and made a short signed statement, directed to the marshaPs office, which, however, did not con- tain any material facts. Following the meeting the accused was given into the charge of Paul vincent and turned over to the marshal.
 From what little can be learned undoubtedly self-defense will be set up by the accused. His appearance indicates that he was badly beaten up. The bullet which he fired from a rifle entered the mans back and came out near the front. It is also claimed the dead man held a knife in his hand.-Juneau Empire.

Godfrey Chealander had slipped out of sight in way until he sur prised his friends the other day by slipping back into town, no longer an Alaskan, but a farmer. He first came here as Godfrey Chealander of Skagway. Then he went other plac- es as Godfrey Chealander of Seattle, and now he is in town registered as Godfrey Chealander of Mabton. In these sentences his recent peregrin- atiOns are briefly summarized.
 MT. Chealander first came into prominence as an Alaska commis- sioner to the Lewis and Clark fair at Portland. He conceived the idea then that some sort of an AL aska exposition would be a fine means of spreading some infOrma- tion concerning the territory in re- gions where at that time only misin- formation existed. Out of this grew the Alaska Yukon Pacific EXposi- tion, an enterprise which, in its in ception, owed much to Mir Chea- lander as it's moving spirit. During all the preliminary work he was ac- tive and his name become well known in Seattle and the Northwest. It will be a surprise to many to learn that he has turned farmer,- Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Great Britain Has an Old
Debt Against Guatemala.
Urgent Demand for Payment
Has Been Made.

London, April 29.-The British gov
ernment today denied the published
report that it had sent an ultimatum
to Guatemala. At the foreign office it
was said that all that had been done
so far was to make a renewed presen-
tation of Great Britain's urgent de-
mand for the payment of Guatemala's s
Indebtedness, the bulk of which has
been owing for 25 years. No date was
mentioned for the presentation of Qua
temaIa's reply nor were threats of re-
prisals made by Great Britain. The
foreign office points out that the time
for such action has not yet arrived,
as Great Britain is still! awaiting the
answer of Guatemala.
Washington, April 29.-Great Brit
aims pressure on Guaemala has been
called to the attention of the state
department by the Guatemala minis
ter here. The outcome is expected to
develop in some measure an indication
of the administration policy toward
Central American republics and their
foreign debts.
A loan OF s2o, ,OOO 900 to $50, 900 900 by
American banking houses has been un-
der way for some time, but never con-
summated. With the proceeds it was
proposed to pay Guatemalas British
debts and reform her currency system.
The delay has been irritating to both
the United States and Great Britain.

Philadelphia, April 2e.-Judge Wetmer
IN the United States court today refused
a new trial to the convicted promoters
and officers of the International Tyumber

The government charged the scheme
was fraudulent and that the promoters
realized nearly $4,000, 600.
During argument for a new trial today
former Senator Mason of Illinois, counsel
for the defense, said that one of the prin-
cipal reasons for asking for new trial
was that the daughter OF postal inspec-

AUSTRIA is ANGRY

Rumor That Troops Are
Marching Into Montenegro.

London. April ga special cor
respondent telegraphing from Vienna,
puts the Austrian attitude in regard
to Montenegro in precise form as fol-
lows:
Austria Hungary finding that the
ambassador conference in London
yesterday produced no results, has
decided to take matters into her own
hands and to carry out the decision
of the powers regarding Scutari"
Vienna, April 29.-Austro-H -Hungar-
ian government is dissatisfied with the
failure of the conference of Ambassa-
dors in London to initiate decisive ac-
ton against Montenegro and is con-
action. Exchanges of views are pro-
ceeding between Austria Hungary,
Germany and Italy.
Neither the British foreign Office Off
cials nor the foreign diplomats here
have any confirmation of the reports
that Austria Hungary has decided to
take independent action to force Mon
tenegro to evacuate Scutari. Such a
course would be so opposed to the at
titude adopted by Count Won Mems
dorff- lly-Dietrichstein, the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador at the London
conference of ambassadors yesterday
that the election is considered by the
British foreign office to be impossible.
Both Italy and Germany, it is known,
are strongly averse to any attempt
being made to coerce Montenegro un-
less such action is undertaken by all
the powers jointly.

1t Is Predicted That Congress
Can Adjourn July 1.
Underwood Says Tariff Will
Be Passed Safely.
FIVE MINUTE LIMIT TODAY
Reading of Measure, Paragraph
at Time, Begins.
Amendments Offered by Re-
publicans and PrOgressives.

Washington, April 29.-The Demo-
crat tariff revision bill advanced an
other stage in the house today when
the reading of the measure paragraph
by paragraph was begun. Amend
ments will be offered by the Republi-
cans and the Progressives, as the mi
nority, while the bill progresses
through this part of it's legislative
journey, and some amendment that
may seem best in the light of devel-
opments may be brought in by the
ways and means committee majority.
The minority of the house will make
a fight on some of the provisions
realizing, however, that with an i'm
mense majority of Democrats in the
house the bill may go through unal-
tered by the opposition to it. What
ever amendments are agreed to by the
Democrats will be voted upon later as
the house as a formality from the COM
mittee of the whole house, the parlia-
mentary status of the house considera-
ton at this time.
Consideration in the house itself will
be brief, the chairman of the com
mittee of the whole house ''simply re-
porting the adoption of the bilI'' with
sundry amendments by the commit
tee and very quick consid Grafton
of the bill and amendments in gross
of the bill and it's forwarding to the
senate.
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama, the Democrat leader, said to-
day that he hoped that the bill would
be passed by the house this week
He added that unless legislation
should be taken up the tariff bill
could be safely passed by both houses
of congress and signed by the presi-
dent, and congress could adjourn by
July L. Many members of the house
who have not spoken in general de-
bate will talk under the five minute
rule beginning today on the bill.
When the reading of the bill for
amendment began, Majority Leader
Underwood made it apparent that
Democrats intend to hurry the bill
through. He objected to all requests
for extension of tiale> for debate and
confined the discussion strictly to the
paragraphs under considera ton
AS consideration of the bill went on,
after amendment as pro-
posed by the Republicans was reject
ed with rolling choruses of noes from
the Democratic side. Majority Leader
and Republican Leader
Mann had long argum ents because the
chemical schedule differed from last
years chemical bill. Mr. Underwood
explained the changes had been made
possible because the income tax was
not possibility last year.

BACK into FOLD
Fire Insurance Companies De-
eide to Stay in Missouri.
State Will Dismiss Suits
Against PrOdigaI Firms.

Jefferson City, April 29.-Four fire in
surance companies against which pro-
ceed1nSS were instituted by the attorney
general to prevent them from leaving the
state, notified Insurance Superintendent
Revelle today that they would not with
draw on May l. Five Missouri companies
have notified the superintendent that they
will continue business.
One company, which had been included
IN the suits begun by General Barker
telegraphed the department that it's repre-
sentative at the Pittsburg conference had
signed the agreement to quit without au-
thority.
Here are the companies that already
have informed the department definitely
that they will not quit the state or even
lean Lloyds, Colonial Assurance New
York; Standard Fire company of Hart
ford, Buffalo German of Buffalo, Iowa
State of Keokuk five Missouri old line
insurance companies and eighteen Mutual
companies.
The insurance department says it has
definite assurances that some fifteen or
eighteen more companies will refuse to
carry out the agreement and will remain
in the state and continue to write busi-
ness. General Barker notified the inSur-
ance department that he would dismiss
the suits against the companies that
withdrew from the agreement to quit the
state. The supreme court had set May
the date for the insurance companies
to file their returns to the proceedings
brought by the state. Mr.. Barker says
if at that time the companies have sus-
pended the writing of new business he
will ask the court to grant additional
temporary order restraining them from
suSpendng the writing of business, then
he will begin his efforts to prosecute
criminally the heads of the companies
that give orders for a suspension of bust
ness. Mr.. Barker already is preparing a
list of witnesses whom he will subpoena
to appear before the Cole county grand
jury when it meets May 13.
Mr.. Barker said he would not begin
criminal prosecution unless the Missouri
committee ordered a general suspension
of the writing of new business tomorrow.
If that was done he said, he would push
the criminal prosecution to the limit.
