CAPT. NORD WILL NOT
 STAY ON KANSAS CITY

The steamer Kansas City, recently purchased in San Francisco by the Alaska Steamship Company and sent on a trip to Seward and Anchorage is now in dry dock. The work of overhauling and reftting her for the Alaska trade is proceeding rapidly.
 Capt. Gus Nord went down to San Francisco to get the ship and has been in command of her since. The company wanted to keep him on the vessel, but he is anxious to return to his one and only love, the steamship Jefferson. "He wants to go back to his own ship" said MT. Harris, of the Alaska Steamship Company, yester- day. q guess it is pretty nearly his own ship, for he has been master of the Jefferson ever since she was launched. ."-Ex.

CANNOT GIVE
 DRINK TONIGHT
TWO DAYS IN JAIL FOR EVEN LENDING A SHOT AFTER
 MIDNIGHT IN SEATTLE.

SEATTLE, Dec. 31.-As New Years Eve approaches, the last wet" evening in this city for a long time to come, precautions of all kinds are be- ing taken against possible outbreaks of violence or disorder. Drastic police regulations have been drawn up and will be enforced vigorously. Anyone
 found giving liquor (not only selling but giving after midnight will be summarily arrested and subjected to jail sentence of two days. As an alternative to keeping open until customers are through with their meals, cafes may be locked at mid night but customers already there may remain and drink all the liquor on the table at that hour regardless of the time required to do so. The chief of police says this is the better plan as it will be safer inside the cafes than outside. Many cafes will close this afternoon or early in the evening, while others will only ad- init regular patrons. Many mirrors have been boarded up. A number of saloons have been transformed into ice cream parlors selling soft drinks, barber shops, etc. Several of the leading saloon men are moving to California where they will engage in a mail order business. The police have been instructed to use clubs on all rowdies instead of making arrests

SCHMIDT WAS
 FOUND GUILTY
ANOTHER MAN GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE FOR BLOWING
 UP LOS ANGELES TIMES

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3l.-The great dynamite conspiracy trial has closed, ending in the conviction of Schmidt and his receiving life sen tence. The specific charge in this trial was the dynamiting of the Times building in this city, which belonged to General Otis, and the loss of many lives.
 The trial has lasted upwards of four weeks. The court room has been crowded practically all of that time. The star witness of the whole trial was Ortie M'Manigal, one of the conspirators, who turned states evi- dence. Cool as a cucumber, speaking clearly and rapidly, he narrated in de- tail the particulars of a long list of dynamiting in which he had partici- pated, and with such entire absence Oi irritating qualities of speech or manner that even the recital of his crimes caused repugnance in but few of his auditors. Following is the list of crimes in which he testified having taken part:
 Dynamiting a boiler on construc- ton job for Detroit Gas Company, June 24, 1907.
 Blowing up bridge at Clinton, Iowa, Feb. IT, 1908.
 Dynamiting railway bridge at Buffalo, July 1, 1908.
 Dynamiting railway bridge at Mt. Holyoke, Mass, Oct. IA, 1908.
 Attempt to blow up the Boston Opera House, March 27, 1909.
 Dynamiting railway bridge at Ho- boken, New Jersey, March 31, 1909.
 Dynamiting car shops at Mt. Vern- on, Ills, April IS, 1910.
 Dynamiting the viaduct at Cleve- land, Ohio, June IS, 1910.
 The only feeling shown by M'Mani- gal in the entire trial was when he testified to Hockin, one of the con spirators, having "doubled-crossed him.
 District Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine conducted the prosecution. The attorneys for the defense were Senator Coghlan, Job Hartman, Ed win V. Mckenzie and Fred Moore

SECRETARY LANE URGES
 DEVELOPMENT ALASKA

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-In his forthcoming annual report Secretary Lane says that the Government should continue its sympathetic CO., operation in the development of AL aska. He urges that the confusion in administrative action in Alaskan af- fairs should be abolished. "lt would be too hazardous a thing to sun 'nder these resources to focal control or disposal, for those who have lived in any new country know how great the temptation is to grant water front and power sites, forests, and other ex- ceptional resources to those who come offering large sums for quick i'm provement. It this should not drive us into a policy that makes slow ad- ministration a necessity.
 "The confusion in administrative action in Alaska is we'll known. l have tried to give it currency that it might hasten the establishment of some method of coordinated control of Alaskan affairs, primarily in the hands of resident commission but always in touch with and responsive to the wish of Congess and the Presi- dent through one of the departments. That land has a mysterious charm, a pull which affects all who see it and those, too, who know only indirectly of its largeness, it's grandeur, and its economic possibilities. This could not be better illustrated than by the num- Der of applications for places which were received by the Alaskan Engi- neering Commission. When that body left for Alaska in the spring the num- Der was over 3S,OOO, and most of those who applied were not out of work but already held positions with railroads, in banks, on farms, or in some city shop. They wished a taste of the large life of this new land. There are many more of the same de- sire, some of whom will make Alaska richer by their presence and find hap piness in searching out the land"

AUSTRIAN ANSWER FAVORABLE

WASHINGTON, Dec 31-The first instalment of the Austrian reply received this morning and while Lansing refuses to discuss it. the knowledge is general that Austria has substantially complied with Americas demands An unofficial version of the note is to the effect that Austria has promised punish the commander ot the submarine that sank the Ancona although the commander IS said to have dsavowed the act Austria also agrees to make reparaOn for the lives lost and has
 agreed in future not to torpedo vessels unless they are fleeing or resisting and only after the people aboard are taken off, The Austrian government however refuses to accept responsibility for the deaths of people aboard ships through panic when held up by submarines The reply asks for further negotiations but on minor points
