Juneau Official

JUNEAU, July 12.-Efforts are be-
ing made by the recently y-organiZed
Law and Order league to secure the
removal of J. B. Marshall, United
States commissioner for this place,

ences as a result of the unloading

ed the man who was ly cut
arrested, but when he va tried by
a jury, the latter was acquitted. The
district attorneys office was not

aroused the union men, and they
organized the Law and Order league
for the stated purpose of protecting
themselves from federal appointees, %
but made no complaint about any Of
ficial except Marshall. The league.
which consists of 27 members, most
of whom are Socialists, has asked
Judge Jennings to remove Marshall.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC
IN COUNTRY.

ROCHESTER,, N. H.. July IL
While they and their compan-
ions were singing Nearer, My
God, to Thee" six children re-
turning from Sunday school
picnic yesterday afternoon, were
killed near this place as a re-
suit of a collision between a
freight train and their car.
The children had been taken
by their teachers for days
vacation into the country The
day had been an enjoyable one
for many of them who seldom
have had chance to enjoy
the open air of the country
Toward evening the return trip
was begun, and as they piled
into their special car they be-
gan to sing hymns.
The train crossed another rail
road track, just as the children
were singing the song mentioned,
and the heavy locomotive of a
freight train on the other track
plowed its way into the Sunday
school car, killing six of the
children outright and seriously
wounding several others.
1t is announced that thor

to blame for the accident

Volcano Report is
Declared Untrue

VALDEZ, July 12-Authentic re-
ports received here positively deny
the report that Mt. Katmai is in
dangerous eruption. The false re-
port concerning the eruption of the
volcano to the extent that the in
habitants of the surrounding country
are endangered, has resulted in the
dispatching to that place of United
States revenue cutters, which will
look after the protection of the ma
tives.
The only color of truth to the false
report about Mt. Katmai is that the
Volcano is in mild eruption. 1t is
reported here that all the volcanoes
of this coast are emitting more or
less steam and smoke, but that none
of them are dangerous.

BUENOS AYRES, July 12.-With
300 people on board. the German lin
er Mendoz is aground on the coast
not far from this port, and efforts
are being made to take the passen-
gers ashore in safety.
For several hours a heavy fog has
been hanging over the shore, and
as there was something wrong with
the whistling buoys, the steamer
was unaware, of her close vicinity
to danger. There is heavy sea
running at the present time, and
this is making difficult the effor'
being made to reach the distressed
ship.
II the vessel remains on the rocks
until the fog lifts, the work of the
recuers will be aided and all the
people on board may be saved but
1t is feared that the heavy seas will
pull the vessel back into deep wa
ter, where she is almost sure to sink
from the effects of the holes that
have been torn in her sides.
A wireless communication is main
tanned between the vessel and the
shore, and according to the reports
received from the steamer. the pass
engers are terror stricken, though
the captain is doing all in his power
to encourage them and to keep any
body from attempting to jump over
board

WITH INTENTION OF GRANT

IS Administration MEASURE
PROPOSED LAW WILL BE INTRO
DUCED IN HOUSE FIRST; THE
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS CONFI-
DENT WILSON'S PET POLICY
CAN BE FULFILLED.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 12.--
Legislation giving the Philippine Is
lands more autonomous govern
ment, with the assurance of ulti-
in the house of representatives, in
accordance with the outlined policy
Of President Wilson.
While it is known that there will
be opposition, both in the house and
in the senate against the proposed
increase of powers of local govern
ment for the islands, leaders of the
Democratic party in both branches
of congress are confident that the
measure will win out ultimately,
before the Philippines will be prac-
before the Philippins will be prac-
States.
Soon after President Wilson as
sumed his office, a delegation OF
leading natives from the Philippine
Islands called on him, and placed
their request for political freedom
before him. At that time, the Presi-
dent explained that it was his policy
to insure for the people of the is
lands political freedom as soon as
possible, and he embodied the idea
later into a message to congress.
For several months there has been
a number of agents in Washington
representing the leaders among the
natives Of the Philippines and these
have been lobbying in the interest
Of the self-government policy with
good effect They have distributed
literature among the various men,
bers of the two branches of the
national legislature, in which they
showed to what extent the popular
education that has been provided
the natives of the Philippines by
the United States has raised the
standard of the people there.
About the only opposition that is
expected to the self-government legis-
lation is from the financial concerns
which have huge interests in the
Islands.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, July 12--
Ex-Minister Delama who IS on his
way to France, carrying some money
for President Huerta of Mexico. ar
rived here today and went aboard
an European vessel In an inter
view today. he declared that Presi-
dent Huerta will resign his position
within a few days, and that the
latter caused his own reelection
simply to give him a chance to re-
sign in an honorable way.
1t had been planned week ago
to have the Mexican congress elect
a successor for Huerta, but at the
last minute, the program was chang
ed, and Huerta, by his own direc-
ton, was reelected 1t is explained
of the dictator to resign at that
time, but he concluded that if he
should allow another person to be
elected president while he was still
there, it would look to the outside
world as though Huerta's policies
were not popular in the Mexican
capital.
That Huerta was planning to go
abroad has been evident since he
sent his family ahead of him few
days ago, and is now sending away
his ready money, Of which there is
a large sum on hand. The threaten
ed attack at an early date on Mexico
City is believed to have much to do
with Huertas determination to leave
the country soon.
