Woman Catches Thief
Who Stole Speed Boat

NEWPORT. Aug. N.-The spced
launch Reliance. owned by Hermann
oelrichs. was stolen from her moorings
here before daybreak. All day the police
traced the boat through Iong-distance
calls down the sound. and the hunt
ended In success only when the craft
was located at Beach Park. about ten
miles west OF the mouth OF the Con-
necticut river. near the town Of Clinton.
The man who had the boat was cap
tured In rather q spectacular ma nner by
Mrs. Leland and her sons. according
to word received by the police here.
The woman's suspicious were aroused.
She and her sons strapped the man to
a piazza post and then sent for the
sheriff At Clinton. This official had the
boats description, and once he saw the
craft he knew who was the owner. He
placed the man under arrest and an
officer from here Is on the way to
Clinton.
The Reliance is rated at so-horsepower
and has q speed OF thirty-seven and one
half miles an hour.

whipped up his horse for the eight block

One fact clearly shown by the figures

that ships heavily loaded with war

WONDERFUL
HOW RESlN0L
STOPS ITCHING

To those who have endured for years
the itching torments of eczema or other
such skin-eruptions. the relief that the
first use of Resinoi Ointment and Res
inol Soap gives is perfectly incredible.
After all the suffering they have en-
dured and all the useless treatments
they spent good money for they cannot
believe anything so simple. mild and in
expensive can stop the itching and
burning INSTANTLY! And they find
1t still more wonderful that the i'm
provement is permanent and that Res
inol really drives away the eruption
completely in very short time. Per-
haps there is a pleasant surprise like
this in store for you. Resinol Ointment

NEW YORK, Aug. T.-Exports from
New York in the week ending Tuesday.

Wickersham has refrained from doing anything that would curtail the powers and the plum der of transportation companies that have throttled progress in Alaska. He now proposes to write history Of early days and ignore what is going on at present.
 Future historians will undoubt edly chronicle facts that will throw some light on conditions as they were in Alaska during the first decade of the twentieth century, and it will read about as follows:
 About the year 1900, A. D., there came to Alaska a broken down politician. lobbs ist and lawyer of mediocre ability, from a place named Tacoma in the state of Washington, who for services rendered there as a poli- tical wire pullerin that state, se- cured an appointment as a fede- ral judge to Alaska. He had great difficu ty in securing con- frmation of his air rpointment by the U. s. Senate. He landed at Nome and at once took up the du ties of the office. He found the inhabitants of, the territory in a very crude state of civilization ard very susceptible to bull con, which he handed out in large quantities. Enforcement of the law was a secondary considera- tion, as was evidenced by the many forms of lawlessness being carried on within his jurisdiction. Gambling, Drunkenness, prostitu- tion and many forms of moral debauchery were ram. pant. The moral 'atnlosonere within his Jurisdiction was indeed putrid. He used more high soun- ding words in 9enunciation~ there of, with iSys real meaning than any man tEat had ever Struck the territory. The pimp, the gam fbler anG the whole lazaroni had their inning.

Troubles Of City. Fathers

Our City Council is sure up a. gainst a tough proposition. Thou ands in debt and less coming in than last year, The school board demanding another teacher at a time when retrenehment seems absolutely necessary, the council is sure up against it.
 Dan Callahan wants to dis pense with the services cf- the Chief of Police and the City Alt. torney. The other councilman rather frown on this measure though they are all agreed en the necessity of retrenchment. A sa- wing of S117. a month has been made by the \. C.. reduction of the price of the city lights. Calla han wants to further reduce the light bill by cutting out the city
  lights on moonlight nights. This the company will not stand for. The city can evidently be com- pared to a Small bark trying to carry too much sail and badly in need of a big reef in the main sail.

Hear ings in court of which there should have been many. in wage cases were always kept on the tail end of the court calendar. and whenever thrashed out in court, were usually decided a. yainst the wage claimant. Usuri- ous fates of interest were charg-
 ed on loans to the operators of mines by the banks of which the courts took no cognizan@.
 The great Judge spent more of 1. his time travelling through the states or at Washington D. C.. trying to secure his judicial con- frmation hy the Senate, than he did attending to the duties of his
 office as s.judge in Alaska. (End

Gatum Locks
Is Planned
Pretty Place

PANAMA, Dec 30.-The beautifying
of Gatun Locks and the village og
tun will be started soon. Plans have
been prepared and the work will be
commenced during the interval while
the Panama Canal is closed to traffic.
This is the first step in making any of
the work of the canal assume its per-
manent aspect from an artistic view
point.
The first work will be concerned
with the removal of the superfluous
trackage needed while the work of
construction was in progress. 1t will
be necessary to leave some of this but
it will be so rebuilt that it will not
interfere with the beauty of the gen
eral effect. The track removal will
give wide and level lawn which will
not be broken UP either with buildings
or flower beds.
Already all temporary structures
needed for construction purposes have
been removed and their former sites
converted in lawns. The huge
cranes and cableways that were used
for conveying concrete from the mix
ers to the lock walls and floors are to
be Immediately removed. The lock
walls have been cleared Of all unnec-
essary material.
The village of Gatun which will
house the lock operating force and
such military establishment as is
needed to guard the locks will be
greatly beautified through the addition
OF many trees and ornamental shrubs.
Additional roadways and pathways will
be built. A new clubhouse is to be
constructed, the old one being in such
bad repair that it would not pay to re-
pair it.

One Way to
Cut Tongue
Is Found

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 30.-The Geor-
gia man who is suing because he cut
bis tongue off on a pane of window
glass hidden in plug of chewing to-
bacco, can sympathize with Lula Rem
cher of Abingdon, who was break
fasting on delicious plateful of hot
corn cakes literally covered with corn
syrup, when a piece of copper wire
which had been poured out of the
syrup can punctured her tongue and
pierced it through and through.
She tried to scream and then thrust
her tongue out of her mouth and those
sitting with her at the table saw that
the wire had gone all the way through.
She will not be able to talk for sew
eral weeks, but when she is able she
is going to have something to say
about the man she bought the syrup
from.
