CHAPTER V.
Youno Men and Maldena,

May passed and under the lustrous stars of June night twinkled the warmer lights of the little village. They shone brightest of all in the little house of Randolph Bulleit, where candles bIazed in their silver sconces and lit up a waxen floor. His wife. the grandniece of Lord Corn wallis of England, was holding open house. Above the chatter and laugh ter Creole violin lifted the foolish air of the French voyageur, that had floated across the star-glimmering Wa ters of the liver of St. Jerome a hun dred syears. bessre.

ABSOLUTE CONTROL
 !. IF RADIO STATIONS
NATIONAL SAFETY ADVOCATED BY SECRETARY DANIELS OF
 WAR DEPARTMENT.
OPPOSE ALIEN OPERATIONS
~Uroes Purchase of All Coastal and Commercial Stations in Federated Territory to Insure Secrecy
 in Case of War.

Washington. absolute govern- ment monopoly of radio communicar tion as a measure of national safety was advocated by Secretary Daniels in letter to the commerce and ma rine committee of the Senate and House, outlining the Navy Depart ment's views on the pending radio control bill drafted by an interdepart- mental conference.
 "The bill covers the purchase of coastal stations only, that is, only those used to communicate with ships, and by permitting the Navy Depart ment to open all of it's stations tG commercial business would discourage the extension of any commercial sys. tens or the organization of new sys-7 tems," the secretary wrote. The de- partment strongly recommends that the committee provide for the pur- chase of all stations used for con- mercial purposes. The value of exist ing stations is constantly increasing, and decisive action at this time wilf result in a saving of public funds"
 The letter urges that existing coast al and commercial stations in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii Porto Rico and Hawaiian Islands be pur- chased within two years and that no license for private operators hereafter granted extend beyond that period.
 Government monopoly" the secre- tary continues, would furnish means to prevent mutual interference between stations and the consequent loss of time during the night hours, when radio communication is at it's best; would eliminate confusion in sending or receiving distress signals; would insure the maximum possible communication with naval ships; would decrease the difficulties of main- taining radio neutrality, and would make. possible military censorship in advance of an outbreak of hostili- ties.
 Commercial radio stations under other than government cGRtrol,S the letter points out, "can give out infor- nation of incalculable value during that twilight period which would prob ably precede the opening of any war to which this country might be par ty. Authority to take over and ope- rate or to close commercial stations in time of war will not suffice. The stations must be in full government operation before the first hint of pos sible hostilitieS"
 The secretary urges also that re- strictions of the bill against alien ope- rators on American ships be made more drastic. and that such aliens be permitted to serve only in emergen- cies. He declares that mo American ship should be allowed ordinarily to leave port of the United States ex- cept with operators who are United States citizens"

sighed the wandering fiddler from vincennes, Michel de Richardville, bending over his bow. Where were now those ancient houses of the Old Post-the Cardinals, the Andres, the Burdaleaux, the Racines, the Lade- roux? 'Vincennes, and a long time ago!" Now it was Corydon and the present, with all its coursing blood in young veins and its fine forgetful- ness of the days gone by. Laughing girls and tall youths went into the flower-decked hall of the Bulleit cabin, or, slipping out again, wan dered down two by two in the mys- tical summer night, beneath the silent stars, to the bank of Indian creek. hurrying by on it's long way to the sea. A lonely youth stood in the shadows and watched the white, glim- mering shapes of the maidens, each with her backwoods cavalier, go by. A pang of envy shot through him as he heard their light remarks and lighter laughter. He was as young and strong as they, he thought, wist- fully. Was life always tc withhold some of its gifts from him?
 Mir. O'Bannon, strolling deep in rev cries of the past, encountered the lonely youth in the starlight and rec ognized him with an ejaculation of pleasure.
 "Ha! David, my old one, what are you doing here alone? When I was your age never dance did we have that saw me not in the thick of it. Go up and join them. sober-sides."
 David muttered a miserable confess sion, which the old gentleman would have none of.
 "No clothes, indeed! Since when were buckskins not as good as broad cloth here in the woods? No invita- tion Fiddlesticks! everyone is well come with us."
 And he dragged the reluctant youth toward the lights and music.
 The gracious lady of the house re- ceived him at the old mans introduc- tion, with kindly smiles for David's shyness; but he was acutely i'll at ease, nevertheless, among the group of young matrons who clustered at Mrs. Bullelt's side in their silks and dainty muslins-treasures Tn the will derness-and he was glad to escape

to the narrow veranda, where group of older men conversed in quiet tones upon the affairs of the Territory. Da- vid stared at their yellow nankeen trousers.
 Harrison. the governor, who had come from Vincennes to oversee his spring planting, and had tarried for the evening. was among the group. He turned to a young man:
 "Mr. Blackford." he said, "I believe that you have the distinction of be- ing graduated from the same college which President Madison attended. myself was a student at Hampden- Sidney college; but remember hear Ing my father once say that. besides the institution which was the first born of all American colleges-his own college of William and Mary there Was but one which a virginian might attend without doing violence to his family traditions; he might, if he had no soul, go to Harvard, or. If he had no stomach, go to a nutmeg institution at New Haven; but as Q virginian and gentleman he would go to Princeton"
 Blackford laughed. He was young lawyer who had just arrived in the territory, the first of the galaxy of young men bred in the eastern col leges who were to achieve distinction in the new country. His face had at- trncted DavN Larrence singularly; !; there was something in the mans fine. straightforward look that drew him like n brother. And here was an opportunity; he could now gratify through Blackford an ambition he had secretly nourished for some time, to study law in the evenings. He was gro ring restless with no greater oc- cupation than measuring silk and cal icuts over a store counter. And the law would be step-one step at least-toward Toinette.
 Have you ever met the president, Mir. Blackford?" Harrison went on.
 "Once only, Governor Harrison. I shall never forget seeing him at our commencement exercises last Septem- her: he was there with his two class mates. Philip Treneau md Judge

COYOTES AND
 WOLV YES KILL
 FUR ANIMALS
Country Over-run With Animal BruteS and FurS Are Scarce as the
 Result.

Because of the deadly war waged on rurbearing animals by wolves and coyotes there are few furs for sale in the Whitehorse and Atlin countries this winter, and the outlook for any considerable production is not good. That is the word brought from the Interior by Charles Gold stein, who returned yesterday from fur buying trip throughout the headwaters of the Yukon and Brit ish Columbia and Yukon lakes.
 "The country is over-run with wolves ana coyotes" said Mir, Gold stein, particularly the latter Not only have they waged relentless war on the lur.bearing animals in the forests. but they have entered the yards of those engaged in fox rai5. ing and killed the foxes in their do- mestlcatcd state"
 AIr. Goldstein does not look for as lagc g fur crop in the North this winter as usual on account of the ravages of the Yukon and British Columbia wolves The people on the Canadian side of the line are very much alarmed on account of the con dltion. and are urging the Canadian government to offer bounies for the destruction of the devastating animals.

 And for these proceedings Senator Penrosc declares his friends and the Democrats would have more than a ,wo.th;rds majority in the State Leg. stature, sufficient majority
 In making this statement thc Son. I;or flatIy cOntrldicted the claim of Governor Brumbaugh's Philadelphia lieutenant Senator Ware, that oppo. ucuts Of the governor would not have the necessary votes
 Following the conference Senator Pcnrosc said:
 "I have been urged by thousands of persons all over the State tO keep on with the work already begun. It always has been my intention to do so, as ] frequently have declared,
 "Therc will be no lctup in the pro- ceedings. Tho intention is to make an exhaustive. investigation of admin istratiye abuses and malfeasance. The people Of the state will be as founded, and. in fact appalled, when they are fully informed as to the many acts Of maladministration dur ing the last two years at Harris burg. Everything will be ready whCn the Legislature reconyenes."
 While Senator Pcnrose was talk ing of the program which looks di- rectly toward impeachment Droceed' ings. in his office here, State Rep resentativc Isadore Stern, Penrose floor leader in the House, announced he would introduce bin to impeach the governor in the lower branch of the Legislature.
 'T said l would" said Mir. Stern, "and ] never go back on my word. I will do what | said I would do"
 The Penrose leaders in the House claim a minimum of 12O Republican votes and 22 of the 37 Democratic votes on an open alignment against the administration.
 According to the provisions of the state constitution, Impeachment pro, ceedings would have to be started in the House A majority, or 194 votes, would impeach Governor Brumbaugh. The impeachment by the House would be in the nature of an indictment, and the charges against the Cover. nor would then go to the senate, where a two-thirds vote is required to convict.

 Raising $500.

The fund which Bishop Rowe has asked Juneau to have part in, having become so we'll known, through the newspapers, the committee does not expect to do much more canvass ing, and any one desiring to have a snare in the enterprise may hand in their contributions. It should be understood that a contribution is made once for all--it is not yearly thing; and anyone missing this oppor- unity will not have another chance to make such an investment, the benefits of which will go on forever
 Many people are away from town, and the fund will be held open for a while in order to include their gifts.
 Reports will hereafter be publish ed only every other day or so
 It is desired to reach the $fO0 as soon as possible, and probably those who ere away will make 1t $500 Then it may be sent over the coun- try that Juneau, Alaska, has given that sum.
