STATEMENT BY
 GEO. HAZARD
TELLS JUNEAU EMPIRE ABOUT THE CAUSES OF HIS
 ARREST.

Mir. Hazard says that the CCrdOva obligations for which he was placed under arrest, are debts, and that they are not yet due. He says he is pre- pared to pay all of them when they become due.
 Judge A. Judson Adams sadorsed a note for me, at the Bank of Cordcya which will not be due for 50 days, and there are a few other obligations in smaller amounts which l will pay said Mir. Hazard. II did not expect to leave Cordova, until the DoaJ was in port. H. c. Peterson, man who is working with me on statistical review of Alaska, which has been in process of preparation for some tim ,, had informed me that he would arrive from Seward on the Alameda. l had some business here that wanted to attend to. l purchased ticket, and went down to the boat to meet him. He was not there, and I decided to come to Juneau and attend to the business myself, and then go back to Cordova. When l arrived here, l was arrested. That is the whole story.
 q owe some money at COrdOva, and l am prepared to pay it."
 Mir. Hazard is very anxious to get back at the earliest possible date and get things strengthened out.-Juneau Empire.

THAW SOON TO

BELIEVED HE WILL SLEEP IN TOMBS PRISON SUNDAY
 NIGHT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.--That Harry Thaw will sleep in the Toubs prison next Sunday night is now believed to be assured by the recent developments of the ease, particularly that of the supreme court. His trial will take place next week and once more his name will be on the lips os the people. It is said that even he himself has given up hope of escaping from the law this time as every conceivable means has been tried and found to be futile. He lives an ordinary life at present but is being carefully watched by agents of the government to foil any attempt he might make to es- cape to a foreign country. He has grown aged in appearance rapidly since his escape from Ma.teawao and at present appears to have fallen to low state of desponjency.

ANOTHER STRIKE VICTIM
 DIES OF HIS WOUNDS.
Steps May be Taken to Prevent Elm ployment of Armed Men by

ROOSEVELT, Jan. 21.-Carman Patty, who was wounded by bullet
 fired by the sheriffs at the American Agricultural Chemical plant, has died of his wounds, making the second of the strikers who succumbed to the in- juries received on that occasion. The citizens today are beginning a moI e. ment to have the deputy sheriffs re- moved from the works of the com pany and the greatest sympathy is felt for the victims of the shooting as it seems to be taken for certainty that the strikers were not armed and were not dangerous. The agent of the Fed eral Industrial Commission has begun an investigation into the shooting and on his findings will depend the fu- ture action of the federal authorities in the matter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The re- publican senators are still carrying on their fibuster against the ship purchase bill and the long wiaded speeches which are the chief weapon of the obstructionists are being made without end. Burton was still talking this morning after a three days of- fort and came up smiling. The demo- cratic caucus which will take place to- night will complete the revision of the bill and a change may come tomorrow. The obstructionist tactics pursued by the opposition may result in cstab- fishing the cloture method in vogue in the British parliament where it was adopted to prevent similar methods.

 FOR THE POOR
ADVOCATES TAXING BIG FOR TUNES AFTER DEATH TO AID
 UNFORTUNATE.

NEW YOFK, Jan 21.-Before the Federal Commission on Industrial re- latiOns today Daniel Guggenheim, president of the American Smelling and Refining company, advocated the taxation of large fortunes after the death of the owners of such fortunes and that the money secured by this taxation be used to aid the poor, for the establishment of government agencies to find work for the unem- poyed and to make provisions for the comfort of aged workers. MT. Gug- genheim said that he favored such measures in spite of the fact tha. they are supposed to be cardinal ideas of socialism. He even went further and declared that he advocated an indus trial democracy wherein workers would receive a portion of the profit derived from the products of their la bor. This statement has already caused quite futter as the president of the Smelling Trust was abou5 the last man expected to utter such senti- ments.
