Judge Olsen has approved OF the ind-
ings she will be taken to that institu-
tion. It will be remembered that on
her testimony William Roberts was in
May indicted for . statutory offense.

to be discontinued to the December
term. Search was made for her but
she was not located until last Satur-
day.

Manager kohn Resigns and Re-
considers

Evidently piqued by the editorial in
last weeks issue Of the Review calling
attention to the unsatisfactory tele-
phone service the public was receiv-
ing, Otto Kohn, manager Of the New
Ulm Rural Telephone Company, ten
dered his resignation.
To consider this and also the COM
plants about the poor service, the di-
rectors held special meeting Thurs
day afternoon. It developed ut the
meeting that the. criticisms Of the
Review were not without foundation
and the directors went on record that
the service must be improved at once,
for which they are entitled to due
credit. a.
AS an excuse for the unsatisfac-
tory service it is claimed that it be-
came necessary to put on several
new operators recently, and that
within the short space Of time that
they have been employed it was sim
ply impossible for them to acquire
the speed that is necessary to han
die the work satisfactorily. Another
point that was urged for the unsat-
isfactory conditions is the circum-
stance that so many Of the patrons
call by name instead of by number
and that the operators are thereby
forced to spend a great deal Of val
liable time which should be devoted
to the service, to looking up the
numbers which should be done by
the subscribers.
To improve conditions it was de-
cided to insist that hereafter patrons
call up by number instead Of by
name. An additional operator is to
be engaged and Mr.. Kohn, who was
prevailed upon to recopsider his res
ignation, is to be relieved from the
line service so that he can devote
his entire time to the home Office.
With these changes it is hoped that
the service can be rapidly improved.

over forty years . resident Of Brown
county and 78 years old, met ! terrible
dsath at that place last Tuesday
tafternoon when he wss struck and run
over By freight train, near the old
]. r. ISchmid elevator and both OF
his limbs we're badly crushed. Tho
injured man was taken to ST. Johns
hospital where the attending ply.
sicians attempted to save his life by
amputating the members, but the loss
OF blood and the general shock to the
system we're 90 great that he did not
rally and death ensued few hours
after the accident occurred. Coroner
DR.. G. F. Reineke of this city was
notified and drove to Springfield for
the purpose Of making post-mortemi
examination. AZ . result OF his exs-.
mination and investigation be pro-
nounced death due to IN accident
none of the railway employees being In
any way to blame.
From what We were able to learn Mr.. !.
Crawford had gone to the depot to
mail letter, Is being too late 70 have
II included in the pouch q the post
Office. It seems that he made 1t .
practice 70 gather spilled grain along
the railroad track and he apparently
had intended doing this Tuesday for
be carried an empty sack under his
arm. The st-bonnd freight train,
which had just entered the Springfield
railroad yards, was switching cars
and the unfortunate man attempted 70
cross the tracks between two OF the
freight cars. He was knocked over
and one of the brakemen saw him fall.
Running to his assistance the rail
road employe reached Mr.. Crawiord's
side just ss the near trucks Of the
moving car had passed over his
limbs, ana with some effort he sue
ceeded In pulling the man to safety.
The right limb was frightfully
crushed between the knee and ankle,
while the left leg was nearly severed
just above the knee. In spite of his
grave injuries Mr.. Crawford remained
conscious and 40 soon 90 he arrived
ct the hospital he asked that the
members Of his family be summoned
to his bedside as he seemed to realize
that death was at hand. His wish was
granted and Mrs. Crawford and sheir
daughter, Mrs. M. s. Wilson, arrived
ct the hospital before the amputation
was undertaken. The meeting Of the
dying man and his wife and daughter
under such sad circumstances was
hesrt-rsnding.
Mr.. Crawford was q veteran OF the
Civil war and after serving out his
enlistment returned to Tomah, Wis.
In which vicinity he devoted his time
to tilling the soil, until the year 1870
when he came to Minnesota and located
on soldiers claim of 160 acres in
the town Of Stately, this county.
Several years ago he retired from
active farm life and had since resided
at Springfield. Aside from his grief
stricken widow and the daughter

CALF. WOMEN LEAD
 FIRST JUDICIAL RECALL

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-After several club women and clergymen had spoken in bitter denunciation of Police Judge Charles L. Weller today at mass meeting, the first petition for the recall of Judge in California was put into circulation and was signed by all the women present.
 The recall campaign against Judge Weller was started by members of the Oceanside Womens Club and others because of his action in reudcing from s3 1000 to $1,OOO the bail of Albert Hendricks, charged with assault upon a young girl The prisoner, after gaining his liberty by depositing this sum, fled the city.
 Judge Weller attempted to make a plea in his own defense, but met with volume of misses and catcalls that almost drove him from the platform When he could make himself heard he argued that he had merely followed the usual custom of the police courts He spoke of his family, of his devo tion to his mother and to the city and then left the platform amid a fresh out break of angry cries.

GOVERNMENT WILL
 CUT CUSTOMS SERVICE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. - The Treasury Departments tentative plan for the reorganization of the customs service contemplates the abolition or all customs naval officers and sur. veyors of customs, confining the port administration to collectors and depu- ty collectors.
 It is also the departments intention to deprive the collectors at ports along the Great Lakes and the Canad- ian border of their present perQuis- ities from the sale of manifest blanks
 and to turn this revenue into the treasury.
 In reducing the existing 165 customs districts to less than fifty.six, the Treasury Departments plan for plac- ing each district in charge of a col lector and each port in charge of a deputy collector. No existing port will be abolished and many supports will be made ports.

TRANSPORTATION
 CASE ARGUMENTS

The long drawn out transportation ease closed yesterday afternoon as Superintendent Hahn stepped from the stand after being subjected to examination in rebuttal by the gov ernment At three o'clock Assistant District Attorney Nye began the op- aning argument for the government tbe gist of which is to the effect that the government was not asking for o conviction for the creation of mo- nopoIv resulting from natural condi- tions and agencies but on the testi- mony showing that there was an un- lawful contract between the steam ship companies, the wharf companies and the railroad company. MT. Shorts defending the railroad interests re- piled in a half hours argument show ing that the railroad had a perfect right to offer inducements in the mat ter through rating in order to insure business throughout the year. Judge Held. who represented Mir. Wynn Johnson personally was the next to argue for the defense. Judge Held was followed by Attorney L. P. Shackleford. local representative of the Pacific Coast Company, the Pa cific Coast Steamship Company, and J. c. Ford personally. Mir Shackle- ford's argument was to the e:ect that at the time these alleged unlawful contracts were made Alaska did not come under the Sherman act or it was so construed that the city of Skag- way had at all times had the power to build wharves and control those al ready in use; that the monopoly as it existed was the result of natural conditions. The maintenance of more than the present dock was shown to be an absurdity The Pacific Coast Company only built their dock for self protection. The dock had become useless through physical reasons. He exhorted the jurors not to find his defendants guilty of crime because they had seemingly aided nature ir the work of concentrating the busi ness at one dock.
 Mir. Shackleford was followed b! Judge Gunnison. Attorney for tho wharf company and. Mir. Wynn-John son. Judge Gunnison Is to be followed by Attorney stratton for the Pacific Coast Steamship Companies and Pres ident J. c. Ford after which Distric
 Attorney Rustgard will close for tn
 government. It is expected the jur,
 will take the case early this evening

JUNEAU MAN TO GET COAL PATENT
Patent to Issue to Coal
 Claim Admiralty Island

The coal is a good quality of liz. nite and is located on Hoochinoo in- let about a hundred miles by water from Juneau.
 Several years ago quite q number of Juneau people became interested in the coal deposits near the Harkraker properties and many of them made locations. Prominently among these were Harry Malone, Harry Raymond, Chas. Garfield, Chas. Goldstein, J. C. Mcbride, Joe Diggs, w. w. Casey, E. J. Margarie, and Dr. E. H. Brooks. After spending over $15,OOO in devel. opment work their applications were protested and their entries cancelled by the government.
 It is said that the Harkraker claim was inadvertently overlooked in the slaughter made by the field officers and no protest filed, therefore the local office sent in the records show ing no protest

TideIand Data to Be
 Forwarded to Washington

The report will show the urgent need of providing more building space in the town of Juneau at once and will ask for immediate action on the petition.
 The report win ask that the city of Juneau be made trustee of the proper ty recovered and that it become a part of the townsite. Also the report will ask that the city be.empowered to sell all but 25 acres of the ground so re- covered.
 The 25 acres reserved from sale are for parks, playfields, public buildings etc. Mir. Valentine thinks we should have a Territorial University, as sug- gested by The Empire and that these tidelands would endow such an insti- tuition with at least foundation, such as a school of mines.
 Along with the photos other exhib- it's together with all the data showing the limited building area, now almost exhausted and the cramped conditions will be a full report of the great min ing and industrial development now in process which will necessitate pro viding homes for more than five times the present population Copies of The Empire containing detail reports on the development work, will be for warded with the report.
 President J. c. Ford, of the Pacific Coast Company, and other steam ship officials called on Mir. Valentine and looked over the maps, photos and plans as outlined and are much in- terested in the project.
 Everything has been done in duph- cate copies of all the data, photos and maps. and are on file with the Com mercial Club.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Charles G. Heifner, of Seattle, one of the Will son leaders in the state of Washing con, who has been here for the last few days, will go to Trenton early next week to confer with President elect Wilson
 Mir. Heifner said recently that while his talk with the persident-elect prob ably will include a number of politi cal matters, they will not discuss the matter of patronage in any way.
 "Gov. Wilson is too busy just now getting ready for the inauguration tc be bothered about patronage" said Mr. Heifner, "and do not intend tc make any suggestions to him along this line
 q hope, however, to be able to take up the Alaska question with him, and since I am also interested in getting relief for our own state from the op pressive regulations of the forestry and public land services, I shall talk over the entire conservation question with Mir. Wilson. He said in his re cent speech on conservation that re- pression was not true conservation, and this has given me great encour' agement"
 Among the other Washington visit ors at the capital are Brig. Gen. Fred Llewellyn, of Seattle, adjutant gen era! of the state militia, and Charles w. Gorham, of Snohomish, former pub lie printer. Mir. Gorham is in the East on a pleasure trip and will go from here to Florida.

The Alaska daily empire., 1913-01-25

Emery Valentine, of the Commercial Club tideland committee has complet- ed his task of gathering data to be forwarded to Delegate Wickersham with the argument for government re- clamatiou of the Juneau tide flats.
 This report and petition to Congress will be very comprehensive state ment. estting forth the most cogent reasons for such action,
 There will be many exhibits sent along with the statement A blue print will be sent, showing the water front with the present limited dock age space, and full plat of the town showing the number of building spaces that are yet available: also the tide lands to be recovered with Gold creek leading up to the mines. A govern ment chart made from geodetic sur veys will be sent showing Gastineau channel and demonstrating that the water it not nayigable above the tide flats,
 The most effective feature of the exhibits will be a set of photographs taken from different angles. A photo taken from the hill shows the flats at half tide. A view from the chan. mel shows the huddled and constrict- ed form of Juneau-no chance to eX- pand. From the south a splendid view shows the town and adjoining flats. Another shows all of Juneau and the flats at high tide. A splendid picture shows the flats at half tide. The very best photo shows the flats at low tide and the immense body of ground to be recovered.
 These waterfront pictures demon. strate that there is no channel or water course leading from any point over the tide lands to the upland beach.
