OlDT|MER BACK;
SAYS INTERIOR
BEST ON EARTH

Harry Beach, returned to Nenana
last night from an extended trip to
the coast and the copper country
in the Kennecott district, during
which time he braved the dangers
of the flu and was quarantined on
seven different occasions. He did
not get the flu or anything like it,
but says he enjoyed the trip and the
experiences after a fashion, but SAID
he was mighty glad to get back to
Nenana once more, and from VIII It
he now knows, the coast country,
the copper country and all other
countries put together cam com
pare with the Interior. Harry says
he will stay here from low on.
He left Nenana October 18TH with
two Russian boys, for Anchoraga, ty
way of the Broad Pass trail. 1tey
made the journey alright to the end
of steel On arrival at Anchorage
both of his trailmates took the flu.
From Anchorage he went to Sew
ard. which was free te flu, and
from hence to Corlova, where all
corners were quarantined, and he
was obliged to go into quarantine
for 16 days. The Carlisle Packing
company's buildings were being used
as quarantine camp at Cordova
at the time he was there.
From Cordova he went to Chitina,
where he was quarantined five days,
and thence to the Kennecott, where
another five day quarantine term
was imposed. He worked for the
copper mine (Guegs) for about a
month and a half, being laid off
with about 200 men.
At the time he took service at
the copper mines, he says that there
were about 900 men employed there.
At that time the company was paying
$3.50 day, then he says, they heard
considerable talk of the drop in
copper prices, and this was followed
by the lay-off Of about 200 men
and the cutting of the wages to So
per day ... "
Arriving at Chitina from Kenne-
colt, he was again placed in quaran-
tine and while there he learned that
a quarantine station had been es-
tablished at the Rapids, on the trail.
He ascertained by wire Of quaran-
tine conditions at the Rapids, and as
he had already had about all the
quarantine he wanted, decided to 60
to McCarthy's and wait there until
the trail quarantine had been re-
moved.
He came in over the Chitina trail
after the quarantine had been lifted
and says he had ideal weather for
travelling, and consequently made good
time.
He says the coast is no place for
anyone who has lived any time in
the Interior; everything there, he
says, is more expensive than in Ne
mana. He met a great many In
terror people during his wanderngs,
and everyone of them that is free to
do so, he says, will be heading for
the Interior soon. The influx, he
says, has commenced, and there are
a great many men on the trail lead
ing to the Interior.
The fishing business was the big
thing on the coast, he says, and
that several herring salteries have
been established, and large catches
of this species of fish are now being
cured and shipped. The industry is
under the control Of the big bust

WILL TRY cOSNELL"
IN COURTS OF STATE

Greenville, Oct: 24.-Jake Gosnell,
deputy collector Of internal revenue,
charged with the murder of Sheriff
Hendrix Rector July 4 last, will be
tried in the court Of general sessions
for Greenville county, probably dur
ing the term beginning Monday, Oct
ober "a. United States District Judge
81. q. Watkins Of Anderson, in a
brief order handed down this after
noon, remanded the case from the
federal court back to the state court.
udge Watkins stated that later he
will file his decree, giving his opinion
OF the reason why the case should
not. remain in the federal court.
The defense sought to have the
trial in federal court on the ground
that Gosnel was a government en-
ployee and in the act of discharging
his duty in going on a raid when the
fatal shooting occurred at local ga
rage. The state, through its attor-
neys, vigorously resisted this conten-
ton.
Jake Gosnell, upon his own petition
automatically had the case removed
from the jurisdiction of the state
court several weeks ago and the
counter petition of the prosecution
brought about spirited contest as
to which court should try Sheriff
Rector's slayer. The motion to re-
mand was argued before Judge Wat
kins here October 8 and 9.

Such aa,attempt to single out rail:

must be accepted, he said, in connec-
ton with other information which
the. railroad brotherhoods have, as q

roads contemplate a general. reduc-
lion in wages when the government

measure 70 forestan strike.
"H these interests or the legisla-

Mr. Shea Continued, "they had better

because speak for locomotive fire.
men and hosslers, at least, when:T say
that anyia which deprives them of
She., rights Of American citizenship
would not be observed, not because
this class of American citizens are
law-breskers, but because such law
would be unwarrsnted, un-American
and contrary to American instiru-
tioEs."
Revolution Almost Certain.
Mr.. Shea said such a law was al
most certain to precipitate revolution
and was, in fact, just what extreme
radicals and revolutionary agitators
desire.
"This would give them logical ar
gument for direct action" he assert
ed, with the intention of displacing
the liberal and more conservative
leaders and thereby overthrowing the
existing social, political and indus
trial institutions of the country.
"If an anti-strike law is enacted,
the responsibility for any upheaval
which might follow lies with Con-
gress." -

PRESIDENT WILSON
CALLS FOR Resembling
OF COAL STRIKE ORDER

Washington, Oct. 25.-Holding the
impending coal strike to be not only
unjustifiable but also unlawful, Presi
dent Wilson in a statement issued to-
night, with the support of his entire
Cabinet, called on the coal miners Of
the nation, both union officers and
members, to rescind the strike order
effective November I. -
The President declined to enter. in.
to the merits Of the controversy be-
tween the miners and operators, but
emphatically declared that the strike
which he characterized as the most
far-reaching proposal in the nations
history to restrict production and
distribution Of all necessaries of life
had apparently been ordered without
a vote Of the individual miners con.
cerned. For this reason, the Presi.
dent served definite notice that the
law will be enforced and the means
will be found to, protect the interests
Of the nation if any emergency may
arise out of this unhappy business"
: Issued After Conferences.
The Presidents statement was Is
sued tonight after his cabinet had
gone over the entire situation with
Secretary Wilson, of the Department
Of Labor, whose efforts to bring
miners and operators together in ne
gotiations had failed. The cabinet,
with only Secretary Lansing. detained
at his home by illness, missing, met
first in the morning and again TO-
night. Rear Admiral Grayson, the
Presidents personal physician, was
summoned to the evening session.
Apparently he agreed to the sdbmis-
sion Of the matter to his patient, for
soon aftsrward the cabinet meeting
broke up and the Presidents state-
meat wa issued. !.
The President in his statement re-
viewed the steps leading up to the
strike call. including the Cleveland
convention Of the United Mine Work
ers Of America one month ago, At
which the demands for a thirty-hou,
week. and a so per cent increase in
wages was formulated. The war in
itself, the President asserted, still
was a fact, peace negotiations still in
suspense and troops still being trans,
ported. -.
