OF 2l3 to ia, to pass the Dill
lingham-Burnett immigration
bill over the Presidents veto.
Five votes changed from the
negative to the affirmative

the leading advocates of the
bill, changed his vote to may"
and after the announcement
moved to reconsider the vote,
Speaker Clark overruled the
motion, going back to the time
of Speaker Jones of Virginia

precedent on the subject.
Representative Gardner ap-
pealed from the decision of the
chair, but a motion by Mr.. I'm
derwood, Democratic leader. to

ROMANCE OF "MY ROSARY"
The Real Authorship of Popu-
lar Song.


lar Song.
The London Daily News says
strange story, pathetic in it's
telling, is told by Frederick G..
Winter, a resident of Futney,
as to the authorship of the pop
ular melody, "My Rosary" For
years it has been sung not only
in England, but in France, Ger
many and practically through
out Europe and America.
Twenty years or more ago a
set of verses of haunting sweet
ness was written by a man to
the woman he loved, and from
whom he was separated. Years
passed and the lady married &:
the man, after suffering cruel
reverses of fortune, was struck
down with an incurable disease.
A business career being impos-
Sible, he sought consolation in
what had always been his true
vocation. He led a solitary ex-
istence and wrote ballads such
as where Willows Whisper"
which was set to music and had
certain popularity.
But the little poem with the
delicate Tilt and the sad refrain
he refused to publish, prefer
ring to leave it with the mem
ories of it and its haunting
rhythm in his memory. The
pocketbook into which it had
been copied was lost in a reStau-
rant.
One evening last year in
Brighton he was asked in a
crowded drawing room if he
would like to hear MY Rosary"
the song that had become so
popular from its pathos and
melody and the fact that it had
inspired the book of the season,
The Rosary"
The author had neither heard
the song nor read the novel. and
Judged it but a coincidence that
the title should be the same as
that of his lost poem. But
when the music hoated toward
him and the first words of the
song reached his ear he realiz-
ed that it was no coincidence,
but that the song they were all
listening to with such rapt at
tention was the poem that had
been written in the lost pocket
book.
Frederick G.. Winter there
upon rose and informed the au-
dience, to their intense surprise,
of the romantic story. He i'm
mediately set to work to find
the publisher of the song and
discovered that the poem was
attributed by them to Robert
Cameron Rogers, whose name,
in fact, appears on the cover of
the music and by whom it was
included in a volume of verse
published by him some years
ago under the title of "The
Wind in the Clearing" Here
are the words of the poem as
stated by Mr.. Winter to be con-
tanned in the lost pocketbook
and in the volume published by
Mr.. Rogers:
The hours I spent with thee, dear
heart,
Are as a string of pearls to me.
l count them over-every one apart
My Rosary.
Each hour a pearl, each pearl
prayer,
To still heart in absence wrung;
l tell each bead until the end-and
there
a cross is hung
Oh, memories that bless-and burn,
Oh, barren gain-and bitter loss,
/ kiss each bead and strive at last
TO learn
To kiss the cross,
IL.

Emphasizing his claim to the
authorship of My Rosary"
Mr.. Winter produced written
evidence from four persons, in
cluding an affidavit sworn to by
the lady to whom his poem was
addressed. They all declare
that they were acquainted with
the composition at a date prior
to the publication Of Mr.. Rogers

ARE SUING FOR
 MINE MACHINERY
District Court Regarding Mine Ma chinery On Glacier Claims.

The district court has been busy all day hearing the evidence in the suit of the Mine cal Creek Mining company against Ramsay-Rutherford to recover damages for the machin- cry installed upon the claims Of the two miners by the Mineral Creek company but retained by the owners of the claim when the option to buy the property was surrendered.
 The machinery is valued at $3,- 800.O0 and supplies said to be worth S2,40o.O0 were also left on the ground by the company and later when they wished to remove it they were warn- ed not to trespass upon the claims and consequently the machinery and supplies were never taken off the ground
 Ramsay and Rutherford do not claim the supplies but contend that the machinery installed on the claims became the property of the locators of the claims and tould not be taken of the ground.
 The suit is being heard by Judge Brown without 8 jury.

MANY PTARM|GAN
 ABOUT VALDEZ
Hunters Have to Go But Sbort Dis tance From City Limits to Bag
 All They Desire.

Hundreds of ptarmigan have been Killed the past week by the Nimrods of Valdez, who have had only to leave the city limits to find flocks of hun dreds of the snow white birds driven to the flats, because of the heavy fall of liz snow on the mountains.
 Ptarmigan are more numerous this year than at any time since '9S, say the glacier builders, and they should know because they were here the past fifteen years, and in the early days when the Excelsior and Dora were the only steamers on the Valdez run and they forgot to make trips from November until about February or March, forcing many of the boys to depend upon ptarmigan to keep them alive; and, therefore, as stated above, they know.
 The reason given by the '9S'ers for the large number of ptarmigan this season is the past dry and long sum- mer, which enabled the birds to hatch their young unmolested by heavy falls of snow in the spring, and later, when the small chicks were matched, the lack Of rain saved many from con tracting colds as they widowed through the wet grass in the hunt for bugs and seed upon which to live. A long rainy season is always said to kill off the young ptarmigan chicks.
 Many of the hunters are forced to quit shooting as they succeed in bag ging all the law allows, which s 25 ptarmigan in the possession of any one person on any day.

WOULD MINE COAL
 ON ROYALTY BASIS
Senator Chamberlain Believes He Can Secure Passage of Measure to
 Provide Temporary Relief.

FAIRBANKS, Dec. 5.-Senator Geo. E. Chamberlain, of Oregon, has writ ten Leroy Tozier, the local attorney, to prepare bill to provide temporary ator has asked that the bill be draft ed so as to put the coal on the same royalty basis as timber in the forest reserves Under the bill the coal mined will be for home consumption only
 Senator Chamberlain has promised to father the measure and to use his utmost endeavor to secure its pass age at an early date after the open ing of the regular session of congress. He states that all the western mem !sbers of the Senate and congress will undoubtedly favor the measure. He believes that further delay may occur in the administrator reaching so- lution of the coal situation but that no objection will be interposed to the bill to provide temporary relief for Alaskans in order that they may mine the coal required for their own use.
 Falcon Joslyn, who is now on the outside, urged the adoption of such a measure and it is believed that he has induced Senator Chamberlain to
 
 pass, providing for definite term un- der which coal lands could be secur- ed, it is understood that capitalists are ready to open the coal mines near Nenana and arrange for it's transpor- tation to supply the market here
