ALONZO ADAMS DEAD.
Was Well Known as the "King" of Swan
Island.


Island.
BOSTON, Jan. IS. A former "King
is dead in Boston. An island kingdom
mourns his loss. The dead ruler is Alon-
20 Adams, one time Yankee skipper,
later king" of Swans Island, and for
the past few years Connecticut farmer,
He died at the Massachusetts, genera
hospital in this city last night at the age
of 70 years, ending life of widely diver
sified activities. Mr.. Adams, or '"The
King" as he was best known, leaves a
wife and three children, one OF whom is a
dentist in Brooklyn.
Alonzo Adams was born in Elswort h
Me-, of sea-faring parents. He took OF
the sea at an early age and after serving
a rough apprenticeship under Bully
Mates in Clipper Ship days, skippered
his own craft. About % years ago his
vessel was chartered by a company to
carry commercial expedition to certain
Caribbean islands. The venture failed,
the company went into bankruptcy and
Adams went without pay.
He accepted, instead, the rights to
Swans Island, one of the group of which
the company had acquired possession.
There the Yankee skipper established a
small kingdom taking the title of King,
introducing royal customs and prevailing
upon the natives to accept him as lord
and master. He developed his kingdom
commercially on big scale and within a
few years had amassed a small fortune.
In later years liking Adams" had
Swans Island supplied with all the COM
forts and luxuries that money could buy
him and he made periodical trips to the
United States to secure these.
Three years ago he accepted an
offer from development company and
sold his kingdom, returned to "the
States and settled down on farm at
Easthampton, Conn. Ten days ago the
exKing became ill and was brought to
the Massachusetts General Hospital,
where death came to him yesterday.

he sees it now in communion with Jesus.
Another was that man is the offspring
of the Eternal Spirit and therefore not
to be despised. His theory of the dignity
of human nature was in fullest harmony
with the mission of Unitarianism in the
world. That mission is merely TO re-
assert the teachings of Christ in regard
to the relationship existing between the
different manifestations of Deity and
the divine offspring. When the speaker
sang
There is fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanueps veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
l wished he would stop and explain what
that language meant to him. l suppose
it meant purifying of the human soul
by being brought into contact with the
Divine. As natures laws are similar
throughout it is probable that blemishes
in human character are healed something
after the manner in which blemishes on
tree are covered by new and healthy
growth. Such theory does not obviate
the necessity of following Christ as he
commanded, for not many people have
yet learned how to live according to
nature. Every violation of natures
laws shortens human life and transfers
to posterity the results Of sin. When
the Church shall have learned that theil
mission as followers of Christ is merely
to discover and teach Natures laws, ther
they will have reached their proper
sphere.

Uncle Sam does not know what is in the
greater portion Of his estate.
Existing public land laws are based
on a policy of sale, broadly speaking
that is, they contemplate the passage
Of the absolute title to the land to the
purchaser or claimant. And they do
not provide for sale on classification or
save as to coal land-on appraisement.
For example, land valuable as a water
mower site cannot be sold as such. Lee
rally it can be acquired as timber land
or stone land, or even as a home
stead. but a power site Is not recog
nized In the law.
Oil land can be acquired legally only
aa mineral land, but under the mineral
land laws one cannot get title until he
has made q discovery. and in the oil
hnsiness one cannot make a discovery
until he has possession OF the land and
bored on it,
Advocates Of national conservation
have urged for several years a revis-
ion of the public land laws, and have
protested against title to such natural
resources as water-power sites pass
ing into private hands absolutely. Con-
rress has not acted. So the Depart
ment Of the Interior has WITHDRAWN
from the operation of the general laws
such parts of the domain as the de-
nartment thinks might contain natural
resources OF value. 1t Will not give
title under old. loose laws, ana Con-
rress has not provided new ones:

sufficient accommodations to the public
Yes" said the conductor, ANY rule
for the safety and comfort OF passengers
ought to be a police regulation. A regu-
lation made only by the company does
not go very far. 1t is against the rule OF
the company for passengers to stand on
the running board of open cars, but all l
can do is to request or persuade a pas
senger to step inside. Perhaps there Is
no room inside. l have no authority to
put him off, AS 1 said, 1t Is against the
rules of the company to stand on the rum
ming board of the open cars, but II a con-
ductor should enforce that rule against
passenger refusing to observe 1t there
probably would be all kinds OF trouble.
IF man spits on the floor Of car l
can have him arrested and he will have
to answer in court. 1t is police regula-
ton that a man shall not spit on the
floor. The rule that smoking Is permit
ted only on the last three seats Is COM
pany regulation, and man can smoke
on the front seat or any other seat IL
he chooses to be disagreeable about 1t and
may not put him of.
However, a conductor can make near
ly all men observe the smoking rule If
you handle them right. You can get along
better with the public by requesting
than by any other means. If you begin
threatening you will be In hot water right
