WOULD OWN ROADS
TAFT TRANSMITS REPORT OF
ALASKAN COMMISSION TO CON.
GREsS WITH MESSAGE.
FAvORS BUILDING OF LINES
Says No Matter Whether Government
Operates Carriers or Not II Should
Be the Possessor of Them and
Help Develop Country.

Washington, Feb. 7-Accompanying
a report of the commissioners who
have been conducting an examina-
ton in Alaska with the idea of recon-
mending routes for the building of
railroads.. President Taft on Thurs
day sent a message to congress in
which he favored governmental own
ership and private operation of the
lines which may be constructed.
The commission recommends the
construction of two railroads in Alas
ka, which shall connect tide water on
the Pacific ocean with the two great
inland water ways. the Yukon and the
Kuskokwim rivers. The railroads thus
recommended will constitute two indie
pendent systems. involving 1873 miles
of new construction. at a cost OF
S35,000,000 The commission in its
report states in conclusion that 1t is
unanimously of the opinion that this
development should be undertaken at
once. and prosecuted with vigor; that
il cannot be accomplished without
providing for the railroads hereip
recommended, or some system
which will insure low transportation
charges and the consequent rapid set
Element of this new land and the utili-
cation OF its great resources"
President Taft in his message says
THE necessary inference from the en-.
tire report is that, in the judgment of
the commission, its recommendation
can certainly be carried out only II
the government builds or guarantees
the construction cost of the railroads
recommended.
IF the government is to guarantee
the principal and interest of the con-
struction bonds. II seems clear that 1t
should own the roads. the cost of
which 1t really pays This is true
whether the government itself should
operate the road or should provide
for their operation by lease or operat-
ing agreement. ] am very much OPP
posed to government operation. but
believe that government ownership,
with private operation under lease. Is
the proper solution Of the difficulty
here presented"

HIGH NEW YORK POLICE OFF,
clAL is SUSPENDED FROM
OFFICE.
COMMISSIONER WALDO ACTS
Confession Of Captain Thomas Walsh.
on Sick Bed. Causes Downfall OF
Himself and His Superior Off
Ger In Gotham.

New York, Feb 8.-Commissione
of Police Waldo. here Thursday, sus-
pended from the New York police
force Dennis Sweeney, inspector OF
police. His name had been mentioned
In the graft confession made by Po-
lice Captain Thomas Walsh.
Commissioner Waldo also suspended
Captain Thomas Walsh, who confessed
on his sick bed that he was CRATER
to the extent of 100000 and had
shared graft with an inspector OF pc
lice, and another man higher up.
The commissioner took action as
soon as he had confirmed from the
district attorneys Office the anthem
ITCHY OF Walsh's confession. No ac-
ton against the inspector had been
taken.
A deputy police commissioner is
implicated by Walsh's confession and
his connection with the charges was
the subject during the day of investi-
cation both by Police Commissioner
Waldo and District Attorney Whit
man. Commissioner Waldo sum
moned the official to his office. with
two members of the staff of the ac-
cused inspector. ~
Walsh will tell his story to the grand
jury. Soon thereafter numerous in
dictments are expected.
In the afternoon Commissioners
Waldo conferred with Mayor Gaynor
concerning the latest revelations in
his much-investigated department,
steadily under fire since the murder
of Herman Rosenthal. the gambler
last July.
Walsh's confession was made on his
sick bed. Ii was forced in part by
charges made by Policeman Eugene
Fox, who pleaded guilty to graft col.
lections on February 8. and turned up
on Walsh as the man next above him
Fearing that heart weakness with
which he has long been troubled might
foreshadow his death, and wishing to
purge his conscience, Captain Walsh
admitted taking vice graft to the ex-
tent of perhaps 100000 in a single pc.
lice precinct. Half this amount he
turned over to those above him.

TRANCE LASTED LONG
SWEDISH WOMAN SPENT THIRTY
TWO YEARS IN BED. {,
Awakened In Perfect Health and WITH
Complete Possession Of Her
Faculties, With No Memory
Of Her Sleep.

There are many cases on record Of
people remaining IN q sleephke trance
for several years, these frances be-
ing often caused from injuries to tha
head, but no one has had Do long q
sleep az a woman named Caroline
Alison, who lives I'm tho little island
OF Okuo, on the coast Of Sweden. {
The sleeper Of Okuo was born I'm
1851; she was q perfectly normal
child. and for the FIRST IA years Of
her life she was strong and healthy!
She did not go to work till Just bel
fore her fourteenth birthday. One
day she came home complaining of
toothache and went to bed Soon az
terward she fell into a deep trance.
which lasted from 1875 until 1907, q
period of so years.
While In this state she did not
seem to see or hear, nor did she
show any trace Of feeling, for though
her arms were pricked with pins,
needles and other sharp instruments
she was not once observed to vince.
Only once or twice did she seem to
wake from her lethargy. On one occa-
sion, in response to a cry from her
mother, she moved her lips as II to
try and speak. When her mother
died Caroline must have been con-
'scious Of the fact, for she burst into
tear5, though there was no other
change In her condition. Two years
later, when ner brother was drowned,
she also had q fit Of weeping. For 80
years and more her only nourishment
consisted Of two cupfuls Of milk q
day.
After the death of her brother she
was left to the care Of housekeeper,
and then gradual signs Of awakening
intelligence began to dawn. Once she
was left alone for several hours with
food near her, and the food was seen
to have gradually disappeared. There
was no doubt that her trance had been
broken. A few months later she re-
gained consciousness, asking for her
mother. She did not recognize her
brothers at all, for she only remem<
bered them as tiny boys. Gradually
she regained possession OF her facul-
ties, until at the age Of forty-six, she
had completely recovered from her
trance. being in perfect health and
well and hearty In every way.
She only remembers her early life,
but nothing that happened during her
long Illness. Her case has completely
mystified the doctors, who cannot ex-
plain 1t in any way.
