ever known was announced to-day.
The Duke Of Bedfcrd's Covent Garden
ectate has been sold to Harry Mallaby-
Dceley fer a sum probably in the neigh
borhood oe S3J.OOO003.
This deal. which marks the passing
OF the ancient dynasty's rule over
Covent Garden since the days Of Henry
VIII. means the turning over of nine
teen acres OF the pulsing heart Of the
worlds greatest city. 1t involves
twenty-six streets. and such buildings

Opera House. the Waldorf Hotel, the
Aldwvch Theatre Gin which. are The

Police Court and the National Sport
ing Club. Covent Garden is also
great book publishing district.
Harry Mallaby- Deeley. who is not
yet fifty years old. is Cnionist member
for the Harrow division of Middlesex,
and is already known for some huge
real estate deals. This year he caused
a sensation by buying the site of st.
Georges Hospital. Hyde Park Corner,
for $1,000. 600. intending to build there
a great hotel. He had previously
bought the Piccadilly Hotel for Sl,0OO,-
600. and about the same time ST.

roughly Is bounded on the north by
Long Acre, on the west by Bedford

rents are very large. For instance. the
Aldwych and Strand theatres pay 500
900 each annually. The Covent Garden
market is said to yield an annual rental
OF S125.O0O.
The exact price Of this historic land
is unrevealed, but il is recalled that the
cost Of the kingsway and Aldwych i'm
provements were So, 100000. Various
estimates are being made to-day, some
of them running a high as SoOOoO,UU,
but Il is said that the solicitors have
exaggerated the fgures somewhat.
The leases will be unaffected until
their expiration.
Mr.. Mallaby- Deeley receives the
rights 10 the Duke Of BedfOrd's private
boxes at the ROYAL opera and at
Drury Lane, the Strand and the AID
wych theatres.

MRS. BIDDINGER Is GRANTED A
DIVORCE FROM SLEUTH
The report that Mrs. Guy Bidding
er, wife of the Burns sleuth, was
granted a divorce has been confirm
ed. The decree was handed down by
Judge Irwin of the Superior Court
on Oct. Is.
Biddinger paid his wife $500, in adj
dition to settling for her lawyers
fees, court costs and other bills.
A letter from the sleuth, who came
into notoriety in the dynamiting
cases, was uncovered. 1t read in part:
"Tm terribly dissatisfied with mar
ried life and do not intend to live
with any woman again. was never
made for woman to boss.

that you would never get a divorce,
as it will always serve as a check on
me and stop me from even consider
ing matrimony with any other wo-

it will always guard me from ever
falling for another woman. In fair
ness to you, thought 1 would ex-
plain that 1 never intend living in
Chicago again, so you could make
your plans and do what you thought
for the best.

natural handicap. am willing to let
you get a divorce if you want to-"

Mrs. Biddinger, admits they are di-

 It is a significant fact that the Scolai trail was never even dreamed of until they found they could not get over the summit of the Ni- gina Glacier As soon as that fact was known, they started to boost this impossible route, and as that in turn proved impossible this NEW trail was brought forward. This shilly-shallying around with a maze of chimerical trails shows how des- : perate those people are to keep the travellers coming that way. Very few realize that the Copper River & . \. W. Railway does not land a pas songer in the interior at any point.

Dr. L. s. Sugden was a caller at the Daily Alaskan office this morn ing and when asked about a certain article that appeared recently in the Cordova Daily Alaskan discrec- iung the assertions that pr. Sug- deu had made in an interview which was first produced in the Whitehors Star and later copied by us, Dr. Sug- den said:
 Yes, I have seen he article in question and will say in answer to same that I am very much sur prised at some of the statements made, especially by MT. HazeIet; before seeing this article I showed ny pictures in Whitehorse and spoke of Mr. HazeIeJ's courtesy in the highest terms, and expressed freely my regrets at his failing to get oyer the summit of the Nizina Glacier. I found Mir. Hazelet a gen. tleman in every sense of the much abused word, and feel confident he has been misQuoted in his refer euces to me. Now as far as this talk of faking is concerted I will state that at the Niziua Roadhouse the party seemed very interested ev- en in the mechanism of the camera, and wished to know how the films were made, which showed the ac- ton of the picture highly acccelerat- ed, the subjects flying around the screen like chain lightning, also how a man fell on the track, was run oT- CT and Ccut to pieces by the train, and then his scattered anatomy flew together and he stU-- on his feet and wllked away. This l fully eN- pIained. It is not necessary for me to say anything in regards to faking in my films, these will show for themselves. If l could fake such pictures as l show, I would not be taking pictures on such trips as we took last summer, for I should un- doubtedly be the highest salaried man ou earth. I will state en- phatically that at no time did MT. HazeIet's party pose for me and l did not take any picture of them crossing the Nizina River. I don't pretend, but do say that I cross ed the Nizina and Chisaua trail and ir will be very evident that l went up Scolai creek GlsO, and fur thermore l can prove it, and still furthermore can prove it to be what have said it was, and no amount of LYING by word of mouth will rafute the evidence I have to back up my statements-for I show not only the Nizina Glacier but Andy Taylor's and Breedman's pack trains on the glacier, and passing

FATAL SHOOTING ACCIDENT.

Information came to town on Wednesday of a shooting accident, which took place last week in the vicinity of Lake Arkell. It appears that a young Indian by the name of Charlie Joe had been out trap ping in the woods and had cached his gun in a tree along with some other things. When he returned to get the gun from the cache he took hold of the barrel which was pointing towards him, and while do- ing so the gun was discharged, the bullet entering his body. He only lived for 24 hours after the acci- dent. The body was brought to town yesterday afternoon and the police are to hold an investigation. The young man was between 16 and IT years of age, and at one time was engaged at the club set ting up pins at the bowling alley. -Whitehorse Star.

one of the ridiculous monuments which were placed to lure unso- phtsucated cheechaco's to almost sure death (FAKE, 1 suppose) This IS right on the NEW Hazelet trail' too, and l show also a panorama oI the Nizina Glacier taken from the last of these flimsy deaht lures we could find. Look at this picture an then read the article in the Cor dova Alaskan" anent their new trail-Trail, who ever made a rrall over a Glacier like this? No one, and never will. One might as well made a trail over moving water, for a glacier is almost as unstable as water. l have known section of the Russell Glacier half a mile long and a quarter mile wide, to fall in. It left walls of perpendic- ular ice from 50 feet to 15O feet in height all around it, and if any one had been left alive after fall ing in with this mass, they could not have got out except by being pulled out. Fred Waun and Joe Hutcbins will verify this state meut, and Andy Taylor, whose pack train took with the camera climb- ing Tin plate Hill' on Scolai creek will tell how l faked that, too. Char lie Gage, Al Brown, Zeke, Mullet, Everett, Charleton, Mickey Gallaghe and other we'll known men will yer fly my statements.
 As far as subscribing to a pub licity fund is concerned, it is a well known fact that the Cordovans have numerous agents in the coast towns boosting their route, who poys them? And l venture to say tlat not one of them ever crossed llc- Carrhy creek, if they ever saw Mc- Carthy even. What I state of a trail is what have seen, and back ed by over 16 years of experience of mushing, packing and freighting over northern trails. What can Mir. Hazelet say about the Scolai trail, for instance.
 Now in regard to my films hay ing no bearing on this present route Of theirs, l will state that my pie lures were taken right on this route and starting from Mccarthy, went aa far IS they did It is no use for them to deny this, for these pie lures speak the truth, and if their route Is so good or in anyway feas- ible. why in Gods name do Andy Taylor, Joe McClennan, Zeke Mullet and Billy James, and in fact all the old-timers of the White river, who are taking iu big outfits, not go that way?
