SAYS HE'S THE FAMOUS
 CAPT. JAMES ALEXANDER
Man in Lunatic Asylum Comes Forth With Startling Claim That
 May Be True.

Victoria, B. C., Oct. l3,--A(frming himself to be Captain James Alex ander, manager of tho famous en- gineer mine at Atlin, and whose body was reported recovered from the wreck of the ill-fatcd steamer, Princess Sophia, an inmate of the Oklahoma State Iunatic Asylum, has started an investigation which came to the notice of Superintendent Me- Mullin, of the provincial police.
 The inmate in the Oklahoma Stae ,unatic Asylum not only asserts that ho is Captain Alexander, but tells with considerable detail events which are known 10 have occurred in the life of the famous mine oper- ator.
 The provincial authorities are for warding photographs and date to the officials in charge of the Oklahoma State Lunatic Asylum in the hope of clearing Up the mystery. If the late Captain James Alexander should be alive the denoucmcnt would be the most sensational climax to the ban gled affairs of what has turned out to be one of the greatest mines ever brought to light in the far north.

MAY SUE GORBACH
 l OVER REALTY DEAL
Dorlman Says,Hs Made Deposit
 on D'Anselo Tract

David Dorfman, . Pleasant street grocer, declared this morning that he has consulted an attorney and is considering action against A. Cor bach for failure to execute a deed for the transfer of the D'Angclo tract on East street on which Dorfman al- leges he paid deposit to Gorbach.
 The land involved is one of two tracts being considered by the school committee for a new school site and is the one that Gorbacho in recent published statement denied having any connection with.
 Dorfman claims Gorbach called on him and made a proposition to sell for $S,5o0. After viewing the tract Dorfman made proposition of ST. 500 for cash. r. H. Holmes held a written option on the land, but Cor bach represented that he was em- powered to execute deed, Dorfman claims. On this representation. he alleges, he paid Gorbach $100 in the presence of witness. Later he demanded either that the deed be excutd or the deposit returnd, but Gorbach refused to comply with either request whereupon Dorfman consulted counsel.

of war give their services when there Is need. but this was an example of the fact that there is a group of men who see the need at all times and sometimes in giving their services it costs them their lives. "In carrying out this pur- pose his life was lost. We honor and respect him as we do all those who wear the uniform," he said.
 Rev. sWiIliam Ross of the First Baptist church also offered a prayer in the evening service for the brave men who do their duty in the face of great risk He expressed his sympathy for the bereaved family.
 That the murdered policeman was one of the best on the local force is shown by statements made today by men with whom he had come in contact in an official capacity. That he made no unnecessary ar- rests and never failed on job is the tribute of his former superior officers.
 In discussing the murder this morning Probation Officer Edward c. Connolly said, Tn common with all those who knew Officer Skelly intimately I am very much grieved at his untimely death. while in dis charge of his duty. He always im- pressed me by his cheerfulness, kindness, honesty and faithfulness to duty"
 I've known Jim Skely ever since l was boy" said Attorney David l., Dunn. chairman of the board of police commissioners. He was one of the best liked officers in the city. He was careful man, always made absolutely sure it was necessary before he ever made an arrest. He could handle crowds purely through his personality and disposition and seldom had to use force or harsh language"
 "He was a born policeman" said Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods, I have known him since boyhood. As policeman he aI- ways did his duty and performed 1t unselfshly, as he saw it. He was very courageous and never faltered in the strictest line of duty He never failed to bring back his man once he went after him, despite great odds. Seldom if ever did he bring case into court in which he failed 10 secure a conviction"
 I've always considered Jim Skelly one of the best policemen on the force," said Judge B. W. Allihg. He was not aggressive, but when he said thing there was no ques- ton but that he knew what he was talking about. I always believed in Jim Skelly and always liked him.

TRUNK RAILROADS
 MAY BE COMBINED
Four Instead Of Nine Systems
 Are Planned

Washington, Oct. 1S.-A com- pIetely revised plan of consolidating the Great Trunk Line railroads Of the east into four systems instead Of the nine tentatively proposed by the Interstate commerce commission is understood to have been placed be- fore the commission as an outgrowth h of Saturdays conference here with President Patrick Crowley Of the New York Central lines, Daniel Will lard of the Baltimore and Ohio and Samuel Req of the Pennsylvania lines and 0. V. and NJ. J. Can Swer- ingen of the Nickel Plate system whose proposed Nickel Plate merger would upset the commission tenta- tive plan.
 The substitute plan, it Is under stood, contempIatcs four great east = ern systems built the New York Central, Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio and Nickel Plate systems.
 According to information in well informed railroad circles, such a plan would assign the Reading com- pany and the Central of New Jersey to the Baltimore and Ohio system, which owns the controlling interest in them.
 The Norfolk and Western wiven a system of its own in the commits sion's tentative plan, would be as- signed to the Pennsylvania lines and the LaCkawanna and the Nirginiar railroads, grouped by the commis- sion in the New England Great Lakes and the Chesapeake and Ohio sys- tens respectively, would be assigned to the Nickel Plate.
 The New York Central would be given tracking rights over the Cen tral of New Jersey railroad and the Philadelphia and Reading into Northern New Jersey ands North eastern Pennsylvania.
 The New England roads would either be grouped together into 6 New England system or distributed to the four proposed eastern systems If grouped independently, the com. mission would require bridge lines into New England for the eastern groups, such as for instance, the Del. aware and Hudson, and the Lehigt and New England.

the same time his regrets and in- l dignation.
 Tears flowed at the o'clock mass at St. Joseph's church of which Skelly was a member. yesterday morning when Rev. Michael Keat- ing, who had just returned from the hospital, where he had admins tered the last rites of the church to the dying man, prayed for his speedy recovery or happy death.
 He was shot while on duty, by a coward" the priest said. You have seen bim out in front of this church Sunday after Sunday direct ing traffic and watching out for the safety of you and your children. This morning he took his life in his hands. when duty summoned him, and now he is at deaths door. with his fate in the hands of the Great Director of all traffic. If he passes on, may God clear his path as he has cleared yours on the busy street. Pray for him." Hardly had the priest concluded than an altar boy came in with word that the policeman had died and prayers were at once asked for the repose of his soul.
 In his Columbus Day sermon last evening at the Sonth Congregational church, Rev. Dr. George w c. Hall compared the, dead policeman to Columbus. stating that there are heroes who have died as heroically and valantly in times of peace as there are those who died in time of war.
 We had an instance of this kind in our midst today,' he said, "One of our police force was summoned to do his duty and he did it. He counted not his life, he saw his duty and with his life our property has been purchased. In the line of his duty as public servant he gave up his life and died on the operating table. hero. We ought to think seriously of his heroism and try to be worthy of it.
 When Officer Skelly went to bed last night he did not know what would happen today. But he had a duty which came up before him this morning and he did 1t. He died in the pursuance of his faith In his duty"
 At the morning service at Trinity Methodist church yesterday morn- ing, Rev. pr. John l.. Davis prayed that if it be the Divine will the life of the heroic policeman be saved, not knowing that he had already passed away. Dr. Davis included in his prayers in the evening as well as the morning service, a comment upon the fact that policemen are called upon at all times to risk their lives for the protection of life and property and that they usually get little thanks for it. Referring di- rectly to Policeman Skelly he said He lost his life protecting property l-he was doing his duty.
 We appreciate those who went to war to fight for our country" said Rev. Henry w. Maier of the First Congregational church, Today our attention is called to one who per manently offered his life 10 the service Of need at all times" He said the men who volunteer in times

Rev. Stanley Iciek who was editor of the Catholic Leader" in this city for several years and who was an assistant pastor of the Sacred Heart church, has been named editor of the New England" a newspaper printed in the Polish language at Chicopee, Mass.

 The former local clergyman has been named as pastor of new church now in construction at Wal lingford, but as the parish is a small one, it will allow him sufficient time to continue his editorial work.
