MUTINIES' ARE REPORTED
 IN BRITAIN'S INDIAN EMPIRE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Through the thick veil which British censorship has thrown about events in India and Egypt comes statement that Nawab, sultan of Ulmuk and nizam of Hyderabad, India, one of the most influential of the native princes, and staunch supporter of Great Britain, has been deposed by his people This de velopment, coming as one of the climaxes to successive reports of mutinies and unrest, many of which have been subst stantiated and admitted by the British government, is said to be the leading reason for Lord Kitchener's recent departure from London. The information is reaching the United States through channels not subject to cen sorship, and coupled with repeated rumors of the activities of German agents in foment- ing discontent among the native population of India, have come reports of dissatisfac ton in Egypt, also ascribed to the same sources.
 Since the Turks failed to take the Suez canal, mainly through the prompt arrival of colonial troops from New Zealand and Australia 1t has been also reported that agents from Const antinople have been con- ducting persistent propaganda of revolt among the natives of Egypt and India.

 Times are singularly hard these days, remarked Mr. Abbott to the man who had stopped near him.
 "Singulary?" he asked. q would say plurally, plurally hard friend"
 Everybody seems to have a compara- lively hard time holding their own nova days" continued Mr. Abbott.
 Again l must disagree with you, my friend. l would say superlatively hard, or better yet, extremely difficult. At least 1 assure you my grief is superIative, and it is extremely difficult for me to do what 1 am about to do that is, considering the frame of mind I have been in on account of the grievous financial condition of the times you have just alluded to- Kindly pass over your purse and extend your dgits skyward.'
 With the last command MT Abbott's new acquaintance produced nickel plated re- volver from his pocket and assumed busi- nesslike tone. Nj. Abbott complied, and purse containing Sl in change and a gold watch were removed by the robber, who then turned and ran west on Battery street.
 A search of that part of the city by the police was without result.-Seattle Post 1ntellgencer

SWEET, PRETTY E1AIDENS
 ARE MENACE TO SOCIETY

"Heredity and Human Progress" was the subject of an address by Albert E. Wiggam 'of the extension department of the Uni versty of Wisconsin to an audience in the Young Mems Christian Association audi torum in Seattle recently.
 Illustrating his talk by lantern slides, MT. Wiggam claimed that eugenics are not a science that would take from marriage all romance, but an attempt to better the hu- man race No quality of mind, talent, gift, vice, deformity or perfection, he asserted, was inherited, but the tendencies for these things were carried in nerve cells These cells he called determiners
 Much of the danger to society,"" he re- marked, ''is due to the fact that men marry sweet, pretty girls, who really are of the feeble minded class though this is not at first apparent"

COMMITTED A MURDER
 TO GAIN REPUTATION

CHICAGO, Nov. l3.-John Burke, who was brought here from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, after he had confessed that he had helped to murder Franklin R. Voorhees,, war sup ply broker, spent the entire day today try ing to convince the police that his story was true, and tonight he had just about succeeded.
 The Chicago police met him skeptically thinking him either seeking transportation or wanting to satisfy craving for the lmelight.
 Today he led the police over the route he says he and three companions took the day of Voorhees, death, and astonished the police with the wealth of his knowledge of localities around the scene of the crime Detective Sergeant Kane announced to- night he was convinced Burkes confession was true.
 Every detail of Burke's statement of his shooting of the war broker was borne out, even to the location of the board he fell over in escaping.
 Some of the police believe that some of Burkes familiarity with the scene of the

We Are Now Located
HORSEFLY CREEK
Reports Conflicting, but Enough Is Known to Justify Expectation
 That It Will Be Producer

Horsefy creek continues to occupy great deal of attention, and in spite of conflicting rumors, which may or may not be pur- posely circulated, the fact remains that there is much travel between the new diggings and this city and adjoining communities. During the past week several well known miners returned from the new camp, but so far as this newspaper IS informed, there IS nothing new to report. That there are ex- celent prospects is established by plentiful evidence, but so far none of the miners in terviewed will state that there IS gold in paying quantities in sight The statement has been quite generally circulated that Mike McDermott has developed a paystreak that runs cents to the pan. Likewise a rumor is current that Frank Dawson and Lars Osness have pay dirt Neither of these rumors can be confirmed although many who claim to know admit that these men "have good prospects," Reliable informa- ton also Is at hand that there have been single pans that showed from 3 to cents in gold These values, according to The Pioneers informants, were not sustained.
 There have been rumors in circulation also of pending deals, but the figures mentioned would not seem to indicate that pay" had been struck in the ground in negotiation, but rather that someone was willing to expend money on chance that pay might develop. At any rate, no one has yet come forward who is willing to assume responsibility for the statement that pay dirt has been found on HOrsef1y or its tributaries.
 Good reports continue to come from the district however and scarcely a day passes that there is not certain information in cir culation of an encouraging nature. These, taken in connection with the fact that pros pecting continues, and that persons having ground there appear to be undertaking real work, lends strength to the belief that more has developed than is admitted.
 Many welE-informed persons are strongly of the belief that the creek will prove a producer, and confidently await develop ments.

 Burke implicated Frank McGooerty, Will jam Gilbert and John Maher in the murder None of them is known to the police. He said McGooerty had planned the trip to Voorhees, home and after the broker had been shot asserted that he had been prom, ised S1,O0O to kill him.
 Burke said he has always lived in chear lodging houses and had never been sue, purpose in assocating with McGooerty had been to get some standing with smarter thieves He killed the broker, he said, tc show McGooerty that he was a game e1v"

CONVERSATIONAL ROBBER
 IS SEATTLE'S LATEST FIND

The conversational highwayman has made his appearance. He was brought to light by report made by E. B. Abbott, a lawyer, who encountered him on Fourth avenue, near Battery street, last night
 By his skill in the use of English the latest development in the hold-up game sootbes his victim first with a terse. exact remark, and then, with brevity, swings into a graceful flow of English that produces a coma of wonder at his ability, using a nickel plated revolver only as an assurance that he has administered sufficient verbal anaesthetic.

FIRST PATENT GRANTED
 FOR BERENG COAL CLAIM

SEATTLE, Nov. 24-News of the first the land department in coal claim cases in the Boring river anthracite district of Alaska was received in Seattle yesterday, when the Alaska Petroleum and Coal Company was notified that a patent had been granted on its Fremont claim. report of government mineralogists, who surveyed the claim, shows it conta aims 4,960,00 tons of coal. The con- pany which is a Seattle concern will pro- ceed at once to develop the property, and expects to repopulate the town of Katalla, which was once the home of almost 3,C00 persons.
 The fight for patent title to the claim began in 1903 and has been carried through the Juneau land office, the general land office at Washington, and to the secretary of the interior. The Fremont claim, with eleven other claims, was located before the famous Cunningham claim.
 The Alaska Petroleum and Coal Company was organized with T. S. Lippy as pres- dent; Clark Davis, vice president; John Schram, treasurer Charles D. Davis, secre- tary; w. J. Hotchkiss of San Francisco, James Campbell, c. H. Cobb and John Campbell, directors Nearly 1000 Seattle, Portland and San Francisco residents are members of the company. The company originally intended to take up and develop oil lands in Alaska, but afterwards filed on twelve coal claims under the act of 1908, which permitted consolidation of claims. The company did the work required by law and was ordered to make cash payment of $10
 
 made, according to Charles D. Davis, secre- tary of the company In an interview pub lished in the Post -InteIligencer Mir Davis said:
 Tn 1909, when the conservation wave swept over the country, we were cited on three charges These charges were that the claims were not for our own use and bene fit; that the claims had been obtained by fraud, and that we had not opened working mines
 These charges were sustained by the Ju neau land office, and later by the general land office. The case was carried to the secretary and on November II our patent was granted us to the Fremont claim. The other claims were cancelled Former Sen ator George Turner and Robert M. Jones were in charge of the case from beginning to end"
 Between 1902 and 1907 the company ex- pended S50O,00O on its claims Part of a railway was constructed and a townsite plated and patented. The coal on the Ere mont claim, which was considered the best of the twelve claims was reported by Falcon Joslin after a series of tests to burn with less than per cent ash and to be practi cally smokeless He said it could be used for smelling ore without being put through a coking process first

TAX ON MUNITIONS IS URGED
 URGES TAX ON MUNITIONS

WASHINGTON, Nov lO-Why not tax the profits on war munitions and kindred manufactures?
 This is a question which will be insist entity asked during the coming session of congress. The taxation question must be settled even before the military prepared ness program can be logically taken up. The failure of the income tax law is due to its secrecy provisions and the fact that most of the rich men of the United States have dodged it has made the revenue situation more acute.
 Nothing is more obvious than the logic of the proposal to levy tax on the huge profits which are now accrulng from the manufacture of war materials and the vast increase of this industry is hinted at in & few figures available on exports from the United States to European belligerents. - Glson Gardner, United Press
