making his address at the Ex
position grounds this morning

lation from 1 “resident Wilson.
In it the President stated that
he would lie in person at the
Exposition in March. Up t^the
middle of this afternoon the at
tendance was 280,000, which is
fully up to the most enthusias-.
tic expectations.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Since
the government ship purchase bill
was sidetracked by being sent to
conference, committee, wtih instruc
tions to report out on February 27,
the Senate has been - doing good
work in the consideration of the
appropriation-' bills*. - The sundry
civil bill, with its provisions for
SI26,000,000 was passed without
much question. After adding ^1,
000.000 to the legislative and judi
cial appropriations both bills were
passed.
LOS ANGELES; Feb. 20.—This
city has be.en thrown into a state of
intense excitement by reason of an
investigation that has been going on
for some days past. The government
has been concerned because, of the
rumors that the neutrality laws of
the country were to be violated. A
probe was started with the result
that late last eve.ning the federal
grand jury returned several indict
ments. Harry Chandler, manager
cf the Los Angeles Times, and son
in-law of the proprietor. General
Otis, was the most prominent man
indicted. He is charged with having
conspired to violate the neutrality
laws by recruiting soldiers to serve
in an invasion of Lower California.
Others similarly indicted include V.
J. Viljeon, former general in the
Boer war. Baltazar Aviles, former
governor of Lower California, and
Walter Bo~ker.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—More
than a *h?".sand leading women of
the Un : States, assembled at the
nation’: < a utal, have united in an
effort t«. cad war among civilized
nations fcrever. The organization,
known as the “Woman's Peace
Party,” is based on the idea that
man’s efforts for peace have, been a
failure for over five hundred years.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IS.—Sen
ator Wesley L. Jones is impressed
with the idea that immediate medi
cal relief is needed by the natives in
Alaska. The fund for that purpose
is exhausted and the amount pro
vided in the sundry civil- bill after
it becomes a taw will not be avail
able until after June. In conse
quence the senator has introduce.-!
an amendment to the sundry civil
bill making available immediately
upon the passage of the bill fhe
$75,000 provided for medical relief
in Alaska.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—A com
mittee of women waited on Presi
dent Wilson this morning and to
their inquiries and request he told
them that an embargo on the expor
tation of arms to belligerents in
Mexico would be a completely un
neutrai act.
SEATTLE, Feb. 22.—Childless
and craving for love which she has
repeatedly stated she did not re
ceive, Mrs. C. P. Noble committed
suicide last night by asphyxiation.
SEATTLE, Feb. 19.—Somewhat
of a sensation was created among
old Alaskans when word was passed
around last evening that Dr. F. B.
Whiting, formerly surgeon for the
Copper River & Northwestern Rail
way construction crews had been
placed under arrest. The charge
against him was for administering
morphine to a patient. Inquiries
made brought the explanation that
a fiend who was addicted to the drug
habit was in such a critical state that
the. Dr. was induced to prescribe
morphine. A cop who had been
keeping his eye on the fiend followed
him to the Dr.’s office, and the ar
rest was afterwards made. At least
that’s the way the. story runs.
EXCELSION SPRINGS, Mo., Feb
19.—Frank Janies, celebrated in the
bandit days, died at his home here
last night from an attack ol
apoplexy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The
state department has been formally

Mexican capital.
OPENS EXPOSITION
WITH ALASKA KEY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—In
pressing the button this morn
ing that formally opened the
Panama - Pacific International
Exposition at San Francisco,
President Wilson used the gold
studded telegraph key with
which President Taft opened
the Alaska-Yukon Exposition
at Seattle in 1900. This key is
made from gold that was taken
from the placer mines in Alaska
and was made in Alaska.
SEATTLE, Feb. IS.—The Burn
side repair ship sailed this after
noon to repair another break in the
cable near Fanshaw. This inter
ruption cuts off communication be
tween Sitka and Juneau but does
not affect the line be.tween Sitka and
Valdez.
WASHINGTON. Feb. IS.—Repre
sentative, Albert Johnson, of Wash
ington, made an inquiry of the
majority party. He wished tq know
whether, under amendments adopted
by the Democratic caucus, to the
ship purchase, bill, foreign bottoms
purchased could trade dire.ct with
Alaska from the Atlantic ocean. He
was asured by Leader Underwood
that it could be done.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.—There
is a growing belief that at least
seme, part of the construction of j
government railroads in Alaska w-iil
commence in the early spring. Vari- ;'
ous contractors have made applica
tion for contracts of various kinds.
The latest in this line is Falcon Jos- '
lin, of Fairbanks, and C. L. Morris,
of Seattle. They seek to secure
construction contracts. Mr. Joslin
built the Tanana Mines railroad that
runs from Fairbanks out to the
creeks, while the Morris Construc
tion Company, of which Mr. Morris ,
is president, built the road out from
Nome. i
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—-Late
this afte.rnoon the Senate adopted ]
the resolution that had been intro- :
duced by Senator Jones, of Wash- i
iugton, extending thanks to Captain |
Moore and the other officers and
crew of the steamer Cordova, for ;
the he.-oism they exercised in rescu-;
ing the survivors of the revenue1
cutter, Tahoma, in Alaskan waters.
It was announced this afternoon
that the President would name the
members of the trade, commission i
within the next few days.
SEATTLE. Feb. 19.—Officials of i
the Alaska Steamship Company an-1
nounce that Vice President Eaxtex |
closed the deal at Frisco a day or i
two ago for the purchase of tha |
steam schooner Redondo. This ves
sel has been owned by the. Simpson -
Mill Company and has been used in i
the lumber carrying trade between.
Gray’s Harbor and San Francisco, i
It is stated that the Alaska Stearn
I ship Company will put the boat on j
j the Alaska run. as a freighter to
i carry cannery supplies.
The Redondo was built in 1902 at
; Toledo, Ohio. Her dimensions are:
, length 188 feet, breadth 38, depth
111.5 feet. Her tonnage is recorded;
! as 679 gross or 462 net.
[ VALDEZ, Feb. 17.—Judge Brown
| will not hold a temr of court at Cor- i
dova this spring. The present term
at Valdez, which commenced on
Monday, will not continue, longer
; than a few' days. No juries, have
been empanneled. There had been
a suggestion that another term be
called at Valdez for May 3, with
grand and pe.tit juries. Attorneys
however, believe that this is too late
as many men who might be called
ns jurors or witnesses have made
iheir arrangements to go to the
mines and hills, and they would be
greatiy inconvenienced if court were!
celled later than April 5. After'
discussing the matter with the attor
| nevs Judge Brown announced that
: he would reach a conclusion in a few
- days, and was rather of the opinion
| that he would favor an early term, if
; it were agreeable to thd District
; Attorney.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—The
amended ship purchase, bill passed
the House last evening and went to
the Senate, where it is now being
considered. Somewhat of a sensa
tion was created before the Senate
committee this morning. B. N.
Baker, manager of the Baltimore
Steamship Company in testifying
stated that Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo is holding 80 per cent of
the German vessels interned here
until the service can be started as is
contemplated in the ship purchase
bill.
VALDEZ, Feb. 16.—There baa
been considerable speculation as to
who would succeed Deputy U. S. Dis
trict Attorney Guy C. Brubaker,
who is about to retire to private
practice. It is known that District
Attorney Spence favored the ap
pointment of Senator O. P. Hubbard.
The Democratic “organization," how
• ever, had endorsed E. F. Medley, or
Cordova, who is a candidate for
either the position here or a deputy
ship at Cordova, if one be created.
But the appointment is really made
by the Attorney General, to whom
j recommendations and protests have
been sent. And in the inner circles
it is rumored that a wire was re
ceived a day or two ago by Mr.
Spence stating that his asistant had
been appointed and would soon
leave from Washington. It is not
known whether the gentleman is a
resident of the capital city, or where
he comes from. The name is very
similar to Munley. Ordinarily the
' request of a District Attorney is suf
ficient to secure the appointment of
his assistant, but it is stated that
protests were filed in Washington
against the selection of Judge Hub
bard. It is further stated that the
utter incompetency of Mr. Medley,
who has been after an office of some
kind ever since he came, from Bos
ton a year or two ago, barred him
from any serious consideration.
BORDEAUX. Fe.b. 17—There was
great distress occasioned last night
when it was announced that Mme.
Sarah Bernhardt would have to
undergo an operation. She met with
an injury to her knee and blood
poisoning has set in, which makes it j
necessary for an amputation. She!
is now being prepared for it and
Monday next has been the time set
for making her a cripple for the rest i
of her life. She was born in Paris!
in 1S44. and is consequently 70 j
years of age.
