JAKE GILMAN GETS NEW TRIAL
Judge Finletter Decides Evidence Was
Insufficient to Convict

''Jake" Gilman, notorious for years in
straw bail scandals, was granted a new
trial today by Judge Finletter in Quar-

verdict OF guilty found against him last
week.

ANT|MONY MI N [ . DISCOVERED AT
 PORT WELLS

Our former townsman, Capt. c. l.. Peabody, has traced vein a ledge of antimony at Port Wells for a distance of three thousand feet, the vein vary ing from there to twelve inches with the ore body gradually gaining in size with depth. Numerous open cuts have been made to demonstrate that the ledge is in place and miners will be kept developing the property with view of putting a mill on the ground for the reduction of the ore.
 Samples of the ore analysed by c. L. Constant, of New York, shows 65 per cent antimony, trace of gold and silver, but no other metals are pres ent. Captain Peabody secured sev- eral splendid pictures of the vien with miners doing development work.
 A ledge carrying antimony in com mercial values was discovered near aii ldob Stei anu i SOuolutl- able shipment of ore was made to the Tacoma shelter during the past summer. The owner of the Fair banks mine is reported to be investi- gating the possibility of bringing his ore to the coast by using large auto trucks.
 Capt. Peabody is fortunate in hay ing his transportation problems solv- ed by nature as his mine is right on the coast, surrounded by good timber, and at an altitude of less than 2000 rect.
 Dr. Brooks, chief of the Alaskan Geological department, is credited with having made the statement that when Alaska has been developed she would be found to contain every me tai known in the world, and then some yet to be recognized. We now have mines producing gold, silver,

The average persons ideas on this

The savings propaganda Of the
bankers organization affords not

children chance to explain to them
the elements of our banking and eco
nomic system. When a boy can be
made to feel that he is helping his

WOMEN VOTERS AND coNoRE SIS

When two ENJOYS sent to Wash
ington by women voters of the West
march up and ask Congress to per-
NIT them to speak on the floor of
the. House Of Representatives they
will take a quiet, orderly, and nat
ural step to do what English suffra-
gists found they could do only by
hiding all night under seats in par
lament and shying bricks at mem-
bers Of that distinguished body.
The request of the suffragists
will raise some interesting cues
tions. Representing about 1000, 900
women voters, their right to be
heard seems as strong, at least, as
that Of Parnell and Kossuth, whom
they point to as precedents for men
speaking to Congress. Unfortu-
nately for them, since the time of
those appearances an iron clad rule
has been made against any outsider
appearing to speak at session of
the House. and this rule states it is
not even in order for the Speaker to
ask unanimous consent for such a
proceeding.
In other cases Congress has found
way around its own rules; so re-
Gently as three years ago, in the case

ment. by taking recess. while the
members remained in their seats to

stretch point for the suffragists
remains to be seen. No doubt the
suffragists, with that troublesome
ingenuity they have exhibited be-
fore now, will be ready to point to
sufficient precedents to permit them
to do what they desire. Whether
the precedents will be satisfactory
to Congress may reflect the senti-
ment of that body toward suffrage.

NOW, WHAT'S the LAW FOR ?

Last Wednesday evening an auto
truck ran down and killed a pedes-
trian on the street at Drummond.
The truck driver went right on and
escaped. He was not arrested until
yesterday, when, according to po-
lice accounts, he confessed his part
in. the affair. He admitted that he
had been drinking heavily, and that
friends urged him not to try to drive
the truck home. He believed him
self competent to handle it, and
started. His excuse is that the ac-
cident was unavoidable; that he
tried to avoid his victim, even run
ming the truck over on the trolley
tracks and almost into a pole.
But with whatever of feeble ex-
tenuation he could muster, there re-
mains the fact that he sped on in
the gathering darkness, paid no at
tention to the injured man, confded
to nobody his part, and evidently
hoped to escape the consequences.
The case is particularly exasper-
ating one. Carelessness is the nor
NAL attitude of these rural truck
drivers; carelessness compounded
with bad whisky. is the more muir
derous; and when these bring dis
aster which is followed by the effort
to escape-such an effort being
equivalent to confession-it is time
for the most effective measures to
be taken for protection of the public.
There have been altogether too
many cases of reckless drivers run
ming down people and then speeding
up in the effort to escape. The pres.
ent case falls within the jurisdiction
Of the Maryland authorities; a juris.
diction, by the way, that covers
some of the most dangerous areas
tributary to the city, in which such
driving is constant menace. The
condition of Wisconsin avenue a,

A double-track car line occupies

way for vehicles must also be used
by pedestrians because there is nc
sidewalk; and the whole situation Is
a constant invitation to accidents
even if the utmost care be exercised
by drivers. The condition of the
street needs the attention Of one sci
of officials, quite as much as the
case against this driver needs the at
tention of another set.

NovEMBER'S TRADE BALANCE

In February the foreign trade
balance in favor Of this country was
$174,6S2,47S. In October it was
$ls6. .l08.959. In this month of No
vember it is likely to go Jar past
100000, 900.
The preliminary returns for the
thirteen principal customs districts
gave for the first three weeks of
this current month some Sal, ,20O,-
600. In the week just ended the port
of New York alone showed, for only
five business days. Thursday being a
holiday, some $50, 100000.
Without anything counted for the
districts other than the principal
thirteen in the first three weeks,
with nothing at all counted for any
district except New York in the
fourth week and with all the dis
tricts Of the country from the very
httlest up to New York, the big
gest, yet to score. November ex-
ports and imports on the two re-
naming days Of this month, with all
that, millions and millions more
still to come in, the Saturday night
record, as already reported, showed
some $177,3OO,0O0.
Two hundred millions for Novem-
Der, therefore, looks like low esti-
mate. This is going at a rate which
cats up great bankers credit of
$50,00O,OO0 in about a week; which
pays all the annual interest and divi.
dends due on American securities
owned abroad in about five weeks /;
which pays freight bills owed to for
eign steamship lines for a semi
annual shipping period in about a
month and fortnight.
In five months monthly two hun
dred million dollar trade balance
would equal the national debt of this
country. That's the way our for
eign trade balance is running Just
now. 1t is impossible to describe
the full effect Of it. 1t is not easy to
outline it. But sure thing is that
this trade bs'ance cannot run very
long as it is running now without
giving us financial pre-eminence as
the worlds creditor nation,
