able to carry thirty-five passengers and
had been in the past considered more
of a freighter than a passenger ship.

sometlne before a verdict was arrived

charge in connection with the soiling
of liquor to Indians at Haines. Practic
ally the entire case of the United States
was made out by Indian witnesses.

ably defended, but had the benefit of
several excellent witnesses. From the
time the jury went out, it is understood,
they stood ten for acquittal and two
for conviction. Attorney J. A. Hellen
thal, in a masterly manner defended
the accused, while the government's
side of the case was in charge of
District Attorney Boyce. The verdict

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY UNMERCIFULLY
ATTACKS WOMAN WHO KILLED
SENATOR BROWN

* (By United Pre??.)
Washington, D. C., Nov. 30.? The
prosecuting attorney, arguing the case
against Mrs. Bradley this afternoon,
unmercifully flajed the defendant. The
murder, ho contended, was as premedi- ?
tated as it was possible for one to be. The !
woman, he argued, had made the trip |
across the continent with the expressed
determination of committing the mur
der. She is a clever actress only, he
pleaded, and had knowingly acted as the
mistress of the man she knew to be
married and whom she wantonly shot.

(By United Prete.)
Seattle, Not. 30.? President Peabody
of .the Northwestern Steamship
Company, which has taken over the
Alaska Steamship company, stated to
day that the perfection of the consili
dation between the two companies had
been completed. It was the Intention
of the reorganizes, he said, to retain
the name of "Alaska Steamship Com
pany" as tbe title under which the new
concern will hereafter do business,
While it is the intention ol the com
pany to make many changes in the per
sonal of its officers, no definite state
ment would for the time being be made.
All details looking towards the reforma
tion of tbe company will likely be fin
ished by December 20, and at that time
announcement of the future plans of

MAY ABOLISH
THE PRECINCT
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO MAKE SKAGWAY
PUCE FOR HOLDING ALL
FUTURE HAINES TRIALS
?? ? 1 . j
An effort will likely be made before
Judge Gunnison at the present term of
court to have the Haines precinct dis- j
solved. Should this take place it will
have the effect of bringing all caset
which have heretofore been tried at
Haines to Skagway for trial At one
time, no' long ago, it looked likely that
a Commissioner would be appointed at
Haines and in that manner the services
of Commissioner Le Fevere would no
longer have been required in the trial
of cases at that place, Now, however
should the precinct be abolished, Judge
Le Fevre will try all Haines cases at
Sksgway and witnessts and accused
will be forced to come to this city to at
tend the proceediugs.
