gardens.
 After a months campaign, BOP applications for membership were filed. and at the opening of the season sixty acres were under culi- yation. The crop was worth $12,- 900.
 The next year, 1912, members of the Garden Club cultivated 15O acres of land in 1,2S3 vacant lots, and raised vegetables that were worth more than S6O,OOO. Flowers were planted at the front of every gar den: the area thus used was more than seven acres. The gardens each cost only about a fifth as much in 1911.
 The gardens were treated as a civic and not as a philanthropic en- terprise. Everybody who helped was helping to beautify Minneapolis. If, incidentally, he raised enough vegetables to supply his family, that was merely an earned reward for helping the city. Rich men claim Gu their reward just as eagerly as poor men. However, nobody felt that he was being patronized or made an object of charity. As a dollar for membership and another dollar for tools were the only ex- penses, and as the average value of the crop was $40, nobody was too poor to join.
 Getting the consent of owners to the use of lots has wrecked many garden clubs. The Minneapolis clut doesn't get their consent: it just takes the lets and goes ahead with the gardens. Very few owners ob' ject, and most of them are quickly EcoIv. at the added beauty of their lots is an advantage. Ire concilable owners cost the Minneap' oils club just S26.4O in 1912.
 One woman in Minneapolis induc ed the families of seven boys in her | ns ghborhood to apply for gardens In 1912, she got sixteen boys to join the club and paid the fees herself Another woman in one of the bet, ter parts of the city invited Mir Boughner to meet some of her neigh bors at a garden party in August 1911. One of them was a Jew, one Norwegian, two Germans. None of them had known any of the others at the beginning of summer But when she began work in her vacant-lOt garden in the spring, the neighbor women came out to watch her progress. A night or two later their husbands joined the group. By August these ten people had be- come close friends.
 The vacant-lot gardens of Minneap oils have kept many boys at home, have aroused a new sociability in many neighborhoods, have earned many needed dollars, have made many men and women healthier, and have added much beauty to the city streets. The cost has been insigni- ficant and the returns very great.

The number of vacant lots In SkaEway that year after year pro duce nothing but weeds or stones, could be made to blossom as a rose and at the same time produce veg etables enough to feed the cOmmu- nifty and furnish a source of income for children who are otherwise idle Right here is a chance to teach your children habits of industry that will make them men and women of value in the coming years. The city of Minneapolis has solved the question in a most effective manner, and what they have done could be well followed by Skagway or other cities that are favoraJly situated for gar dCning.
 We take the following from the 1,st issue Of the Worlds Work, and advise our fathers and mothers to consider it in connection with the rearing Of freir children.
 The Garden Club of Minneapolis two years ago began vacant-lot gar deuing. In 1911, the city gave the first two weeks of July to a civic celebration of the linking of two park lakes by a canal. Mir. L. J. Loughner, the president of the Gar cen Club-which was then promot- 'ug school gardening for an appropriation of S4.OOO to decorate the vacant lots The decoration committee granted the money and the Garden Club announced that for S1 the club would obtain the use of vacant lot, blow and har- row 1t, give vegetable and flower seeds and plants for a family of five, provide gardening instruction and supervision through the season, and distribute prizes for the best

Who is going to be the next gov eruOr Of Alaska?
 Will it be SuIzer? will 1t De Strong? will it be Riggs?
 Each of them is qualified and each of them has done splendid work and all have a widespread knowledge of the [, Itory.
 We have a predominating belief that Charles Sulzer might be able Co land the place in case he seri- ousIy wanted it, but Charles Suzer Is already a mining engineer of a. biliJy. Through his management oi the SuIzer properties on Prince Wales Island he has kept his mines shipping ore without interruption for seven Cr eight years. For long tune the Sulzer mine was the only mine shipping copper ore in Alaska It is very probable that his salary as a mining expert is more than be would ever realize from being gov ernor of Alaska. Besides min ing is his chosen profession, and should he accept the governorshiP it would be a great loss 10 the more noble and useful profession of min ing. There is a little more of the ephemeraI thing called popularity attached t9 a governorship, but foI usefulness to the world and perma' nence of good, it would be just as well that someone else accepted the gov -ruOrship. Mining men of MT Sulzer's ability are hard to find while the past has shown that il does not require any great anC S supendous ability to be governor.
 Thos. Risgs, Jr., is also a usetu citizen. His work on the boundary sGrvey has been we'll done. He i: a surveying and civil engineer, wei known in Alaska and thorough familiar with her needs.
 Major Strong is a newspaper man and as such. political hOnOrs would crown him with an aureate halo most fitting. In the years gone b. he has told many governors how To conduct their offices, and those governors have prospered just SC long as they have followed his ad' uouitious. Shakespeare once said that it is easier to show twenty mer the way to go than to be one tc fellow your own showing. Thai may hold good with Editor Strong in case he anueXes the governorshiP with all its griefs and unmerited criticisms
 It may be that the three men have about equal political pulls; in such case it is probable that a dark hose will be chosen. There are about twenty newspaper men in Al as5a and just about that many dark horses

MISSION OF THE SCHOOL OF
 TODAY.


 We are beginning to under stand that the responsibility of the school relates not merely 10 a girls general cultivation nor her preparation for livelihood, but 1t Is also concerned with her traln- ing for what we may call her major vocation, the rearing of children and the maintenance of the home. While she may not be privileged to preside over a home of her own," she may, nevertheless, be called upon to influence the nurture and educa- ton of children and to be related to the home in which she re- sides. She must not, therefore, be considered simply as the girl 10 be educated or the worker to be trained, but as the home maker, to be so taught as to in- huence in the most wholesome fashion the coming generations. At this point the state will even tually recognize a minimum re- quirement. If the girl has been so taught that she Is likely to be competent to assume the re- responsibilities of wifehood and motherhood and the various mi- nor cares involved in home mak- ing, she may safely be dismissed from school after she has fulfill ed the minimum intellectual re- quirement-Sarah Louise Ar hold.

The smuggling methods of the Wad-

were brought into a Chicago saloon
last night and as a result the victim
of the smuggling may lose the sight of
his right eye.
John G. Merrill, who represents the
Waddell-Mahon gunner in Chicago,
was drinking with a woman in the
back room of the Log Cabin saloon,
331 South Clark street, last night. w.
S. Cunningham, a merchant of Cisco
Lake, Wisconsin, entered the place. ;
Shortly after, Merrill hit Cunning
ham in the right eye. Cunningham
gave cry of pain. A policeman
rushed in and arrested Merrill.
At the station he claimed that Cum
ningham had spoken to his female
companion. In a loud voice he de-
clared that he was the Chicago rep
resentative of the Waddell-Mahon
corporation, and has an Office in the
Unity building.
The case was called before Judge
Mahoney's court this morning, but

might lose, the case was discontin-
ued until Oct %.

POWERS COMMAND
TO CEASE FIGHTING
Receive Uutimatum Politely
But Continue War-Bul-
garians Are Nearing
Constantinople

London, March 29.-Although the great
powers have commanded that the Balkan
war cease, the fighting continues. The
allies, taking heart by success. received
the ultimatums politely and replied that
they agree with these in principle but
cannot accept all the details.
The spectacle of the six great powers
working in harmony in the dreaded ques-
ton is matched by the equally strange
spectacle of the Balkan states defying
them Meanwhile the concert of the pow
ers remains as strong only as its weak
est link. and since Russia cannot be
expected to use her army and navy
against her Slav brethren to loosen their
grip on the Turk, the proceedings have
been reduced to a diplomatic debate.
The allies have accepted the powers
peace terms as "a basis of negotiations,
but cling to their determination to exact
an indemnity and refuse to muzzle their
guns until the Turks accept their terms.
Their experience of the last armistice,
tueN uttidte, was tiidJ turkey USED II
ely to gain time.
The Bulgarian army, therefore, con-
tinues to batter at the Tchatalja lines,
and, according to the last reports, stands
just where it did when the armistiee
was arranged on December last IT is
entirely possible that the allies may
march into ConstantlnopIe before peace
is signed.
The Montenegrins are protesting through
the diplomats and the press and they are
using every means against the powers
decision TO include Scutari in the new
state of Albania. Their argument is:
why should Europe deprive Montenegro

ON HIS DEATH BED
K[0Tz CONFESSES
TO MAILING BOMBS
Admits Making the Bombs
Which Caused Death of
Two Women and
One Man

New York. March s-TIarry J. Klotz,
the city clerk injured recently by the ex-
p1oson of a bomb which he was building,
confessed on his death bed today that
he had constructed and mailed the two
bombs which resulted in the death of
Grace Taylor last year and Mrs. Madeline
Herrera few months also; also the bomb
which exploded last March in the library
of Judge Otto Rosalsky. " few minutes
later Klotz died.
Klotz was sinking rapidly after an OPP
Grafton when he made his confession. He
sent for the police, and according to the
statement given out by them tonight, the
dying mans confession was made directly
to Captain Price, of the detective bu-
reau. 1t was explicit as to all but the
Herrera bomb, which to near the last he
denied having sent
Klotz confessed. according to the state
inent, that. he had sent the bomb to
Judge Rosalsky. because he didn't like
him." The agitation at the time over
the effort of Folke f. Brandt to obtain
his release from prison influenced him,
hiotZ Sdiu ID
Judge Rosalsky had sentenced Brandt
To 80 years in Dannemora for a robbery
in the home of Mortimer l.. Schiff where
Brandt had been a valet. Brandt recently
was released.
No Reason for Act
Asked why he had sent the Grace Tay-
lor bomb, he replied;
II don't know why; that's all. Later
ne admitted that it was ON account OF =
quarrel he had had with her.
The police believe Klotz was enraged
ever having been forbidden Mrs. Tayiors
home after young woman who lived
with her had rejected his attentions,
When pressed about the Herrera bomb,
after first denying he sent it, klotz the
rolice statement says, finally nodded his
head affirmatively when questioned and
added he had sent the bomb for expert
mental purposes He was growing very
weak at this stage of the questioning and
shortly afterward he died without ex-
planning in what the experiment con-
sisted.
Klotz seems to have had mania Tor
collecting fire arms and experimenting
with explosives His home was FOUND to
no veritable arsenal when searched
after he was injured recently by bomb
he was making.
An attorney for the 1<lotz family to-
night made a statement declaring the
police account of the dying man CON
fessionv was s'preposterous.

NUMBER KILLED
IN DAYTON MAY
NOT EXCEED $50
Death List at Piqua Shows Only II
Known Dead-Rise of Ohio Caus-
ing Much Alarm-Reports
From the Flooded Cities

Investigations yet tend to confirm
the estimates of fewer than 500 deaths
in the floods that swept over a score
of cities in Ohio and Indiana last week.
As the waters receded mt Dayton, CO.
lumbus and other places, leaving a
thick coating of mud, alarm was caused
by a rapid rise of the Ohio and the
Mississippi rivers inundating parts of
cities along their banks. There is not
much danger of loss of life In these
places, however, as the Inhabitants
have hills to flee to and are used to
floods.
Revised reports indicate that the num-
ber drowned in Dayton may not exceed
80, although there are those who say the
number will be much greater.
The death list at Piqua, o.. fell off from
the estimate of so to 1S known dead.
The latest estimates show the following
deaths.

Newport and Covington, opposite, virtue
ally are surrounded by water. Condi-
1ons there are worse than elsewhere, and
nearly 10000 persons have been driven
from their homes. Relief measures, how
over, are adequate. Manufacturing plants
in the lowlands have ceased operations.
In these two cities the only fear is that
health conditions will be seriously af-
feeted because of the cogging of the sew
age system and the stagnation of back
water. As yet the waterworks has con-
tinued In operation. The electric light
plants already have had to cease opera
tions, but the gas plants are not inter-
rupted.
In the Kentucky towns OF Dayton, Lnd-

fallen sufficiently to permit the operation

In these towns there are a total OF
