KATALLA COAL |S BEST EVER FUR
 SHELTER

The Seattle Times says. Falcon Joslin, president of the Panama Mines Railroad and one of Alaska's best boosters, is of the opinion that the coal in the Boring River fields can be used for smeting ores without first converting the fuel into coke. This coal, he says. burns to a white heat, and becomes so hot that it will melt a stove if the draft is left open. Joslin spent a portion of the past summer in going over the country contiguous to Katalla. He describes i it as one of the richest sections of the North and yet the people there are the most discouraged.
 There is no doubt as to the min eral value of this country" he said, both as to coal and to oil The coal makes the hottest fire I ever saw. It burns white. Some oil drillers left twelve-inch steel bit in an open fire while they went to lunch When they returned the piece of solid steel had melted. Coal that will melt steel will smelt copper ore.
 Oils Go to Waste.
 "They are pumping three wells and making 15,000 gallons of gasoline a month, while about 3O,OOO gallons of kerosene and other Illuminating oils are allowed to go to waste, because they have no means of conserving it. The plant is a small two-by-four af- fair that cost about S2,OOO The para fine and lubricating oil around the plant is a foot thick on the ground. The little plant manufactures all the gasoline used in that part of the country. There is only one man and a boy drilling. They are without money to buy proper equipment, but are getting along as best they can.
 q never saw a sadder sight in my life than the former camp of the so, called English Coal Company. The company put up fine, comfortable buildings, built miles and miles of trails and roads, but the whole thing is deserted and going to wreck and ruin. Ten or twelve miles of railroad track has become two streaks of rust.
 "All of this waste was wrought by the withdrawal of the coal lands and the fight put up by the conservation- ists against the granting of patents. There are still a few people at Ka-I talla-hanging on in the hope that the dreams of riches which they once saw in the magnificent resources around them will come true. But they are pretty badly discouraged, and in the meantime officials of the general land office are going through the travesty of 'adjudicating the Alaska coal claims. The conserva- tionists caused the confiscation of those claims years ago, but the of ficials are still going through the mummery of trying the cases"
 Josiin says that despite the handi- caps placed in the way of develop ment by the government. Alaska is prospering as a whole, but there are a few places like Katalla, where the people have become broken ksare@a and discouraged while "ait. $ .o action.

FOUR EXPELLED.
Bows Disturb Class Day EXer-
cises at High School.
Unreasonable Interference With
Others Rights Is Charged.

Ralph Oman. William Shepherd,
Otto Reinbach, and Lewis Hoatson,
Topeka high school students, were eX-
PEELED at noon today because of ''un-
reasona BILE interference with the rights
of other people" in a disturbance that
took place this morning in the balcony
of the school auditorium, while the
class day exercises were in progress.
The parents of the students were
Immediately notified of the action
taken by the school authorities, A. J.
Stout, principal, and H. B. Wilson,
superintendent of city schools. This
means that the boys in question will
receive no credit for the work done
this sem ester. There are one or two
others under suspicion who may also
be let out of school.
The main doors of the high school
building and the auditorium doors
were locked while the class exercises
were taking place in order to guard
against persons coming in from the
outside to cause a disturbance Two
or three persons, including two of
those expelled, came in by way of a
fire escape and turned loose colored
acknowledgements class coIors-
from the balcony. Several of the bows
resisted the teachers and janitors who
took charge of the colors.
The action on the part of these
boys was not in accord with pure
school spirit said Superintendent
Wilson. Il would say that it might be
called unreasonable interference with
the rights of other people"

140 COUNT'EM1 4O
TrainIOad of Eastern Hours
Coming Through Topeka.
''Beauty Special" Will Arrive
at 1 O'clock Monday.

There are ten chances to one that
the Santa Fe depot at 1 o'clock next
Monday afternoon will be crowded.
The reason? The Universal Film
Company's Beauty Special, with lao
of the prettiest girls of the east, will
come through at that time.
This special train probably is the
most interesting of those which are
going to the coast this year. The
young women were selected by con-
tests conducted in eastern cities, the
newspaper officiating. After collect
ing an amazing quantity of pretty
damsels, the film company furnished
them with free transportation to and
from the California fairs and all ex-
penses paid.
The special will leave Chicago
Sunday. 1t will consist of a club car,
diner, several drawing room and COM
partment cars and an observation car.
Joe Brandt, the manager of the film
company, is the High Moguf' of the
trip. G. ]. Birchfield, of Chicago, as
sistant general advertising agent of
the Santa Fe, will be that railroads
representative during the whole trip.
When asked about the matter to-
day, one passenger official here
looked sad. 81 put my bid in to ac-
company that train," he said, as the
tears trickled down his checks, "but

LIFT BAN June 10
Kansas Free From Foot and
Mouth Disease Embargo.
Butler County Only District
Under Suspension Now.

After June 10 Kansas will be on the
free list so far as a ban against ter
ritory recently affected by the foot
and mouth disease is concerned. That
was the statement today of Joe
Mercer, state live stock sanitary COM
missioner.
Notices sent from Washington have
indicated the lifting of the ban in
Butler county next week. At present
Butler is the only county in Kansas
which has not been entirely removed
from the provisions of the foot and
mouth quarantine. Conditions in that
county have improved rapidly, how
ever, and the pastures and stock
farms of the county will be restored
to good standing June 10.
cit is the intention of both state
and federal departments to keep a
close eye on conditions in Butler
county this summer" said Mercer,
although the county will be entirely
on the free list after next week.
The inspection will be restricted
largely to the pastures and feed lots
in which the foot and mouth disease
was discovered last winter.

UNCLE WON'T PAY
Government Refuses To Be
Taxed for Topeka Betterments.
Federal Building Will Not Be
Sold for Taxes Now.

Uncle Sans federal building, Iocat-
ed in Topeka, will not be sold for
taxes And Uncle Sam will not pay
his taxes, either. AS a tax-dodger
he is immune. Although the White
Way burns just as bright in front of
the postoffice building as at other
places, and although the pavement in
front of the building has been resur-
faced, the United States government
will not pay for what has been done
and the city of Topeka is left to foot
the bills.
The situation was explained to the
city commissioners today in a COM
munication from Oscar Swayze, coun-
ty clerk, who enclosed a letter he had
received from Washington, D. c.,
which uoted the constitution of the
United States in refusing to pay the
taxes. The county clerk requested the
city commission to strike the proper
ty from the tax list certified to by the
city This the city did.
At the time the Kansas avenue
White Way was under consideration
by the city, the Topeka Commercial
club, according to statements made
by w. G. Tandy, city commissioner
of streets, today, assured the city
commission that the Commercial club
would see that the city did not incur
the expense of the White Way in front
of the postoffice.

IN FOUR STATES.

Durango, Colo, June 3.-Do YOU
know the only place in the United
States. where it is possible for each
of the four legs of a stool to stand
in a different state?
1t is Four Corners, an IMAGINARY
town, but very real piece of soil
where Utah, Arizona, New Mexico
and Colorado Join. What compli-
cations might take place i'll a town
built on this siteI A fugitive of
justice might skip from one state
to another in a second. tixtradi-
ton lawyers would reap a harvest.
The only reason city has never
grown up at Four Corners is be-
cause the land is undeveloped and
remote from railroads.
Recently a unique religious serx-
ice was held on Four Corners by
four Episcopal churchmen, Bishop
Brewster of Colorado standing on
the soil Of his state, Bishop How
den of New Mexico standing on the
Kew Mexico angle, Bishop Smith
stationed in Arizona and Bishop
Paul Jones in Utah, yet all within
arms length of each other.

Anti Government. nj e t in e
Breaks Leash of PopuIace.
Police HurriedIy Reinforced;
ManifestOs Seized.
WILD SCENES In THE HOUSE
Opposition Says New Treaty
DishOnors Nipponese.
Attacking Resolution Voted
Down Mid HOOts and Jeers.

Toxic, June 3.-The holding of an
anti-government mass meeting in
Toxic this evening resulted in seri
Gus disturbances.
The situation outside the building
where the meeting was being held was
the most serious.
Many arrests were made and the
manifestos issued by the organizers
of the meeting were confiscated.
Reinforcements of police were sent
everywhere throughout the city.
The resolution introduced in the
house of representatives yesterday by
the opposition expressing lack of con-
fidence in the administration was to-
day rejected by vote of 1913 to 232.
Great Disorder in House.
Extreme disorder marked the ses-
sion today.
All the members of the cabinet were
in their seats. While Premier Okuma
and Foreign Minister Kato defended
the recent negotiations with China,
K Hara, M. Inukai and H. Ogawa at
tackled them.
The resolution, as introduced yes
terday, charged the cabinet with hav-
ing failed in the negotiations with
China from the beginning; with hav
ing aroused the suspicious of foreign
powers and with having harmed the
prestige of the empire. Hoots, jeers
and WOrdy alterations puntuated the
speeches delivered today, but the ova-
tons for Premier Okuma and Minister
Kato smothered the cries of the op-
position.
Declares Japan Isolated.
K. Hara advanced the claim that
Japans aggression in China during the
war in Europe had aroused misunder-
standings, destroyed the friendship of
the powers and placed Japan in a po
sition of isolation, while II. Ogawa
said that concession had been granted
the. HanyehpingF company because
China had been backed by the United
States minister.
Kato denied that the powers had
urged the abandonment of the fifth
group of Japanese demands.
I'VE abandoned these in the inter-
ests of peace he said. mo power
compelled us to do SO. 1 am con-
WINGED that the intellectual classes of
the world will understand and COM
mend the course of Japan
Great interest has attached to the
announcements of Premier Okuma
and Minister of War Okla in the diet
that the army is to be increased by
two divisions. This is the first step to
the eventual creation of an army of
twenty-five divisions.

announcement here today.


The great Austro- Hungarian fortress
of Przemysl, situated between Lem
berg and Cracow in Galicia was cap
tured by the Russians March p, last,
after one of the longest sieges of mod
ern warfare. In the ten weeks which
has elapsed since that time, however,
Austrians and Germans have made
every effort to Tetake the fortress,
large forces being diverted from the
other great fortress to the west, Cra-
COW.
Recent dispatches from the Galician
front said the AuStrO-German troops
had been successful in operations
north and southeast of the fortress
and the forts girdling the position had
been taken.
When Przemysl fell into the hands
of the Russians it had undergone a
siege lasting POI days. The Austrian
garrison originally consisted of 100
900 men, of whom 10000 were killed.
About 10000 Austrians surrendered
when the fortress capitulated. These
included 2,602 officers and officials and

mysl, and attack from the north

the Russian garrison within the
fortress has not been known in
