 Think of that Homesteaders going to Alaska instead of gold hunters. It opens entirely conception of that country It that instead of stripping unwilling land of its sole wealth and then abandoning finding that there continuous wealth in the agricultural possibilities o the country and going there to cultivate it aid make 1t nuous richer and more prosperous It gives notion ot Alaska of vastly different style from that of former days
 Perhaps, too there is another significance in this move ment Perhaps 1t indication that not today in sney anxious for sudden wealth they the AZ and Yukon days but better satisfied to be industrious and porous with certainty without taking the risks and undergoing the hardshps of the usually disappointed gold hunter Per haps

AUSTRIA MAY
DROP WAR If
ITALY YIELDS
Belief in Congress that the
. President, Knowing This,
Withholds Declaration.

Modification of Italy's demands upon
Austria might pave the way for .
withdrawal Of the latter country
from the mammoth conflict abroad,
and would thus hasten peace as II
could not be hastened II Italy per-
sists In maintaining demands which
cannot but keep Austria IN the fight
until the bitter end.
That IL the belief OF the majority
Of the members OF the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee OF the Senate, 30
it Is said on good authority. And
IL Is the belief of the administra-
ton as well, so 1t Is also said.
These facts mean, SO Il is. insist
ed. that President wilson's forth
coming message to Congress Will not
urge a war declaration upon Austria
The situation will be left open, Il
is pointed out, % that II Austrian
sympathy for the central powers
cause, already at a low ebb, gives
further signs Of breaking the pro-
ponents of a break with Germany
will have conclusive talking points
upon which to continue their work.
Senator Stone for War.
Interesting talk has been indulg-
ed IN at the Capitol during the past
few days since members have been
arriving In large numbers for the
commencement Of the session, Sem
ator Stone. Of Missouri. head of the
Foreign Relations Committee and one
of the "wilful twelve" who resisted
the passage of the armed neutrality
measure and the war resolution later
on. came back from his home stay
highly favorable to a war declara-
tiOn against Austria
He gave no reason why the step
should be taken, but insisted that Il
should be taken. Senator Hitchcock,
Of Nebraska, vice chairman of the
same committee, pointed out the day
before what he thought of the situa-
tion. He and Senator Reed and
others stood on this declaration.
which Senator Hitchcock enlarged
upon yesterday. In this way, and
which many members Of the Upper
House now are inclined to favor.
Naturally. all Of the members are
willing il some reason, as yet un-
known to them. should be presented
by the President in favor Of q war
declaration. But the fact, now gen.
orally accepted at the Capitol that
the President has no such reason to
offer. leads to the hope that this for
NAL step may be averted and that as
a result notifications will be made
by Italy which will permit Of an Aus
TRAN break with Germany.
The fact that the great majority Of
Austrians in the United States, Poles
and Behemians. are with the allies,
body and soul, in the cause. and that
the number of real Austrian "alien
aremies" is comparatively small, It Is
thought would work no hardship on
this side of the water because of the
failure to declare war.

MONEY FACTOR
ISACCENTED IN
TRIAL OF MEANS
Every Technical Point Seiz.
ed Upon by Defense in
King Murder Trial.
By DAVID M. CHURCH.

Concord. N. c.. Now. 29.--Continual
objections and use Of every technical
point Of the law was made by the de-
fense today in the trial Of CASTOR B.
Means, charged with the murder OF
Mrs. Maude A. King.
Through the testimony Of Ameri-
caus B. Melville, q Chicago lawyer,
the state established the fact that
Mrs. King, at the time Of her first
acquaintance with Castor B. Means,
was IN possession of a fortune of ap-
proxlmately s60o.0o It also establish
ed that Mrs. King made Means her
financial agent on the agreement that
he was to receive half OF all the
profits he made for her exceeding SO
900 . year.
Chieasoan on stand.
DR.. william c. Burmeister. Of Chi
cago, who made the autopsy upon
Mrs. Kings body. was upon the stand
when court adjourned. He said she
had died from a gunshot wound IN the
head which she could not have in
flicted herself.
The defense objected to the question
and answer, maintaining that the evi-
dence had not established that Mrs.
OCCH u pIBtOl bnOt.
Il claimed that she might have died
from q rifle shot. The objection was
overruled.
Dr.. Burmeister then took occasion
TO show his knowledge, which amazed
the defense. when he said he knew
the bullet had been fired by a Is cal
iber automatic revolver. because the
bullet had a left-handed twist on the
rifling, and only Is caliber automatic
guns shoot this sort Of bullet.
Means Gets Nervous
On cross examination the defense
endeavored to impeach the testimony
given by DR.. Burmeister by recalling
questions he had answered in the pre-
liminary hearing. DR.. Burmeister with
stood the test and declared that II
his testimony seemed to vary in any
way It was because he had failed to
answer with sufficient fullness,
The testimony Of DR.. Burmeister
was the first expert testimony offered
and the jury OF farmers were consid-
erably impressed by II.
One OF the States strongest wit
nesses arrived on the scene today
when Mrs. Anne Robinson. mother Of
Mrs. King, came to Concord. She will
probably be wheeled into the court
rom in a chair.
Means Is growing more and more
nervous as the trial proceeds.
