Seattle, March 21 ? Joseph Mc
Itonald, recently indicted by the
Juneau grand jury for the murder
o* a man named Jones, which oc
curred ten or a dozen year* ago,
arrived tn this city last evening un
der guard.
McDonald was in Mexico at the
time of the indictment and the
Mexican authorities were asked to
bold him. but McDonald stated that
he would return to the United Sta
tes voluntarily. A guard was sent
to bring him north and he came
v ithout protest. His trial will take
place in Juneau.
The crime for which McDonald
is held, resulted from his shooting
Jones who was something of a relig
'.( us fanatic. Jonee wanted McDon
ald to close down the Treadwell
mines on Sundays, and hl9 street
tulking annoyed the mine superin
tendent, who protested and ordered
the preacher off the grounds. An
altercation followed In which Jones
?\as killed. A subsequent coron
er's jury released McDonald who
afterw'ard went away. A recent
reading of the testimony taken at
the inquest, caused the last grand
Jury to believe that a crime had
been committed and they brought
it an indictment against McDonald
ONE TH1N<; AT A TIME
IS THE WILSON POLICY
Wukinttun, March 21 ? Represen
tativ? Underwood is out "with the
statement asking the people to with
hold thpir judgments on the tariff
measures until the bills have been
prepared and presented to congress.
Me says there is nothing going to be
<n acted of a revolutionary character
and nothing that will cause any in
jury to legitimate business.
President Wilson has reiterated
his statement that there will be
time to take up the currency ques
tion and other measures during the
extra session of congress, and that
needed bills will be passed as they
arise. He does not care to jumble
a multiplicity of things up with the
tariff reforms which he is anxious to
have passed. Everything will come
out right as occasion arises. To
meet them fearlessly and pass on
them with wisdom and judgment
will be the aim of the administra
tion.

1*8 Moines, March 21 ? William
Jennings Bryan stopped in the cl'y
last night where be was entertained
at a banquet by the Iowa Democrats,
fn the $pi-fch which followed, he
stated that atandpatlsm is dead. He
told of the dying struggles of the
reactionaries in both parties and
how the Democrats had conn- into
their own through progressive mean-:
urea. He could not see any reason
tor the perpetuation of the Progres
sive party, as all that the Progress
ives were working for v as already
adopted by the Democrats.
The old aristocratic element of
the Republican and the Democratic
parties had become negligable in
Influencing the public, and could
never again expect to secure con
trol of a tingle congressional dis
trict. The future holds but one set
of political ideas, through it may
i> represented by two political par
ties ? the Democratic and some
other party with Democratic opin
ions, operating unJer some other
name. Under President Wilson he
hoped and believed the country
would see a splendid prosperity in
which all the people would share,
instead of the favored few as had
been the case under Republican
standpatism.
