SECY. CONTINUES
 ALASKA CAMPAIGN
Finds That There Has Not Been . Single Honest Coal oialm-
 ant in tho Worth.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 6.-- Judging by the annual report of the Commissioner of the Gener- al Land Office, no coal land en- try or locator who has undertak- en to acquire title to government coal lands in Alaska is going to be successful in his effort, and lucky will be those individuals who get off with the mere can- cellation of their filings.
 The report of the Commission er tells of the speed with which the Alaska coal claims are be- ing turned down, and not sin gle instance is cited where patent is issued, or where a case is al lowed to progress toward patent. It is evident that every claim in Alaska is going to be rejected, there being 1,129 ill all. a r'
 In his report, the Commission CT says that very substantial pro- gress has been made in the in vestigation of coal claims in Alaska. Several parties of min- eral experts were in the field ex- amining claims on the ground to determine whether or not the legal requirements have been met as to opening and improv- ing a mine on the claims. Special agents in Alaska have been con- centrated on this work, and have been reporting whether claims were located with bona fide in- tent or as a result of unlawful combinations or agreements.
 As a result of this field work 454 claims were reported upon last year, making a total of 930 claims in all; and there remains for next year only i99 claims yet to bn examined in the field. But of this latter number the Con- missioner says IA already have been cancelled or held for can- cellation for failure to submit ap- plications for patent within the time required by law, so that only 55 claims will be investigated next summer.
 During the last year adverse proceedings were directed against l88 claims, together with those previously proceeded against, making a total of 300. Of the total i.t29 claims pending, 407. have been cancelled and t76 held for cancellation. The Commits sioner cites not 9 single instance where field reports have been favorable or where patent is like ly to be allowed.

 IS UNEARTHED

South Bend. Ind, Jan. 6.--The operations of an alleged arson trust, charged with causing many scores of fires in the middle west during the past few years, were exposed today with the arrest of Ben Kahn, former South Bend merchant, and Ben Franklin, of Chicago. They were accused of firing the Farmers and Working mems Friend Clothing Store, 422 South Michigan street, on April t2 last.
 The two men, who were arrest ed in Chicago, are held in de- fault of $2O,OOO bail each. AL though it is alleged that the stock was worth only $5,OOO, Kahn car ried $i8,OOO insurance, distrib- uted among seven companies. Some of the claims, it is said, Kahn attempted to settle at 50 cents on the dollar. The adjust CT, who is declared to have been a member of the combination, recommended this settlement.

SECRETARY NAGEL
 FlvQRscANNERs

Washington, D. C., Jan. G. Under orders of Secretary Nagle there became effective on the first of the year a regulation prohib- iting salmon fishing at the mouth or in the fresh water streams emptying into Cooks Inlet, Eyak Lake, back of Cordova, and the Anna~und Humpback lagoons, in Ernest sound, and the Naha la goons at Loring. Loring is about 30 and Ernest sound about 70 miles north of Ketchikan. It is a victory for the traps as against the purse and seine fishermen. The cannerymen are in favor of the order. ~<1a
 The order relates to all com- mercial fishing, whether by nets or by trolling, but in norway eff f cts the traps just beyond the mouth of the streams.

A TOUGH DACO
 IS SENT HOME

Chicago. Jan. 6.--TwO United States deputy marshals, two ltal- ian carabineers, and the captain of an Italian ship will be neces- sary to depOrt Domenico Mod esto, an alleged Black Hand mur- derer, to Naples, Italy.
 Modesto is charged with stab- bing Francesca Maletta to death when the latter failed to meet his demands for money. Italian off cials say that he is the most des- perate criminal they have ever encountered in Chicago, and for this reason unusual precautions are being taken to guard against his escape.
 MoedstO, who is now in jail, will be taken to New York at the earliest moment. There he will be met by the Italian soldiers, who will take him aboard one of the ships of the Italian line. The captain, as we'll as the soldiers, will be held responsible for his safe delivery to the Italian gov- ernment. tHe ill be tried imme- diately on arrival in Naples, it is said, and his punishment will probably be thirty years solitary confinement.

EXISTENCE OF BOYS
"GANG" IS REVEALED

Baker, Ore, April 1.-THE arrest
of several boys, who are charged
with the theft of baseballs and bats
from the ball park, revealed the fact
that gang OF five or six and pos
sibly more boys whose ages range
from II to IA years have been en-
gagged in all manner of petty pilfer-
ing lately, not only from public plac-
es, but in dwelling houses as well.
Two of the boys taken into custo-
dy were taken before Judge Basche
in Juvenile court and told the whole
story, with the result that practically
all the stolen goods, including that
taken from the bali grounds, was
discovered. One of them said that
he took a pair of field glasses valued
at $14 from a residence and sold
them to his father for 80 cents. They
also stated that they had taken sew
eral baseball bats from Adler's store.
but they had never been missed or
the theft reported.
