Late Telegraph News
SEATTLE, May 31.—These are
busy days for the officials of the
Alaska Steamship Company, in con
nection with sailings for the far
North. The big freighter Edith led
th§ fleet to Berffag S6a crowded to
the guards with supplies. The
steamer Latouche followed this
morning. The, big passenger liner
Victoria is now loading freight and
will sail on June 2 for Nome and St.
Michael with every berth taken, and
that means 62 passengers of all
classes. When the steamer Cordova
returns from the north she will also
make a trip to Kotzebue Sound, sail
ing about June 15. The Pacific
Coast steamer Senator is due to
leave here tomorrow for Nome,
while the freighter Tampico will sail
about the same time from San Fran
cisco. having taken on part of her
cargo at Seattle.
PHILADELPHIA, May 31.—On
June 1, the ancient and revere.d
Independence Hall in this city will
for the second time in its history
resound with the words of men
raised in behalf of independence of
human beings. For, by special con
cession of the municipal authorities
the Society to Eliminate Economic
Causes of War begins a conference
in the hall where 141 years ago the
public meeting was held that led to
the signing of the Declaration of
Independence. That was on June J,
1774, which led to the final meeting
of July 4, 1776 when the Declaration
was formally signed. And by a re
markable coincidence at the meeting
which convenes tomorrow there will
be 13 delegates from South Ameri
can countries, which corresponds to
the 13 representatives of the original
states that met in Independence Hall
But, unlike the meeting 139 years
ago which brought on war, this con
ference is called together to consider
ways and means of preventing war in
the future. And, in place of a
Declaration of Independence, the
delegates from the South American
states plan to draw up a Declaration
of Interdependence.
This pact which is called the Com
mercial Federation, will contain a
clause binding all parties to it to
absolutely observe the neutrality of
the high seas.
Secop'1. it provides that no country
shall cv'pge its tariff, shipping or
immigrc';pn laws without giving
other nations of the world due
notice, as such laws are of interna
tional importance and affect all man
kind.
A third clause provides that when
a man is himself out of the country
or sends his money out of the coun
try that becomes an international
question and not a local one.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 31.—
Among all the exhibits at the great
exposition now being held here none
is of greater importance to the
country than the national conference
on child labor which closes here to
day. The Conference is principally
concerned with the national aspects
of child labor. The defeat of the
Palmer-Owen bill last winter by the
vote of Senator Overman of North
Carolina after the. House of Repre
sentatives had passed it by an over
whelming vote will be followed up
by a still more vigorous campaign in
the next Congress. Dr. Felix Adler,
chairman of the National Child
Labor Committee.. Mrs. Florence
Kelley, general secretary of the
National Consumers' League, Sen
ator Robert L. Owen and Francis T.
Ileney, all interested in the national
regulation of child labor, were
among the speakers in San Francisco
and will help to perfect the plans for
the coming campaign.
NEW YORK, June 3.—Baseball,
as the kingpin of national pasttimes,
is going to be crowded for honors in
a very short time, if the tennis
“bug” keeps working at the speed
it has shown for the past couple of
years. Time was when tennis en
thusiasts were supposed to be all
blue-blooded aristocrats who had
plenty of time and who were mostly
all club members. But such is far
from being the case now. The
“tired” business man is the greatest
booster for the net game. He finds
that tennis fits in better with his
mode of life than any other sport.
For golf he has to wend his way out
to some links that are far removed
from his home. And, then, he doesn’t
get the workout at golf that he does
at tennis. Baseball is unhandy for
him for the reason that to play it
properly he would have to hunt up
a regular diamond which is a scarce
article. Tennis courts, however,
are on every hand. It doesn’t re
quire so very much room for a
tennis court. Up on the West side
along the Hudson you can find a
tennis court in almost every block.
LEMMON, S. D., June 3—II
business keeps up for the next
month as it has since last July Lem
mon’s municipal saloon will havt
contributed approximately $12,000
toward the schools and municipa:
improvements. The monthly profit
of Lemmon’s one saloon is $1,000 a
month. Before the last law limiting
the number of saloons per capita
throughout the state, Lemmon, with
a population of 1,255 inhabitants
had eight saloons. Competition was
keen and to make their respective
saloons “attractive” some of them
became the lowest manner of dives.
When the per capita law was passed,
Lemmon was allowed two saloons.
There was intense rivalry for the
two licenses. A proposition that the
city go into the saloon business was
put to a vote and failed.
The.n the Lemmon Civic Associa
tion was formed after the city last
spring adopted the commission form
of government. The association in
cluded men of many different walas
of life and business. Ministers
were among the membership. The
association was given a saloon
license. A manager, one of the
strongest prohibition workers in the
C11.J • v> «D a;'j/uinicu. nv » vwi • vw »*«
salary. The two barkeepers receive
such good salaries that graft of any
kind is eliminated. By the associa
tion’s rules the sale of liquor is not
pushed. Patrons who once show a
disposition to look even one time too
frequently into the cup that cheers
are blacklisted. Known drunkards
may not enter the saloon; neither
may persons whose families are
known to be in want. Mayor B. R.
Watt is one of the strongest boosters
of Lemmon’s municipal saloon.
DENVER, Colo., June, 3.—These
are great days for the cross country
hikers. With the Panama-Pacific
Exposition in view, more walkers
than ever before are passing through
Denver from Eastern points, going
to the, Fair shank’s mare. Not all
are forced to walk; most of the hik
ers are hoofing it from choice, for
the fun or the exercise or for the
experiences. Women are. well repre
sented in the transcontinental travel
ers. Recently three girls, ranging in
ages from 1S to 21, passed through
here,, revolvers danglinng from belts.
They were: Maud Bridson, Ethel
Rockwell and Ruth Harsley, all of
Chicago. Miss Bridson, is a teacher,
Miss Rockwell a “hello” girl, and
Miss Harsley manager of a cafeteria.
Each had received several marriage
proposals on the trip but wouldn’t
stop their hike for such a little mat
ter as a proposal.
NEW YORK, June 3.—Better
coast defenses, a definte military
and naval policy, a budget system
for appropriating money instead of
the present “Pork Barrel” method
in Congress, an effective mobile
regular army, better government
support for the national guard, and
the creation of an organized army
and navy reserve are among the
platform planks upon which The
National Security League is send
ing out an appeal for the. enrollment
of a first American army of one
million volunteer workers.
Among the names which appear in
the membership of this League for
National Defense are. Joseph H.
Choate, former ambassador to Eng
land, Honorary President; Alton B.
Parker, Honorary Vice-President; S.
Stanwood Menken, President; for
mer Secretary of War, Henry L.
Stimson, Chairman of the Army
Committee; J. Bernard Walker,
Chairman of the Navy Committee;
Benjamin F. Tracy, former Secre
tary of the Navy; Colonel William
C. Church, editor of The, Army and
Navy Journal.
In the call for volunteers the
League points out that “until a sat
isfactory plan for disarmament has
been worked out and agreed upon
by the nations of the world, the
United States must be adequately
prepared to defend itself against
invasion, and also that a military
equipment sufficient for this purpose
can be had without recourse to mili
tarism.” The League was formed,
continues the appeal, “as a prepara
tion not for War but against War.’
There are today according to the
League, but 30,000 mobile troops ir
continental United States, and this
small force is short of officers, am
munition, and equipment. It is dis
tributed among f>2 widely scattered
points, which would make it impos
sible to mobilize quickly at any
given point.
Orders out the line are put up and
shipped with the same promptness
at the. Co-operative store as are
local orders. Service and fresh
goods are among the recommenda
tions of this popular trading place.
Cordova, June 1
Walter Storey, owner of the
Rainier-Grand hotel building, was an
arrival on the Mariposa yesterday.
He states that if he is not able to
rent the hote.l that in all probability
he will open it up and run it him
self.
Dr. Charles T. Daggett, leading
dentist to the westward, returned on
the Mariposa to his home in
Seward, after a fe.w days pleasantly
spent here. The Dr. is very proud
of the Daggett block, which he owns,
and in order to meet the demand
for modern offices in Seward he is
about to add a third story. He be
lieves in advertising not only his
building but also his tenants, and
while here he placed a directory
card of the Daggett block in all
public places in town.
Dr. W. G. Cassels, formerly a suc
cessful practitioner at Fairbanks,
but who has been outside for the
past two years, was an arrival on the
Mariposa. He took the train out
this morning and will return to
Fairbanks with the idea of again
locating there. Since, his departure
from the Interior the Dr. and wife
have been to Europe and have later
lived in California. The Dr. brought
a horse north with him and will
ride over the trail from Chitina to
Fairbanks. U. S. Marshal Erwin had
expected to accompany him ba:k
and also to bring a horse but he was
summoned to Washington from
Seattle.
After today and for the next four
months, the post office force will be
reduced one man, Dick Kerwood
being the, individual to retire. Dur
ing the summer the interior Fair
banks mail will go via Skagway and
the river route.
Captain P. Bourgman, master of
the cannery ship St. Paul came up
from Orca to meet his family, who
arrived on the steamer Mariposa
from Seattle. They will spend the
summer and include Mrs. Bourgman,
Miss Irma and Master Willie. They
have temporarily taken an apart
ment in the. Borden, building.
Mrs. T. S. Scott and children will
be outgoing passengers on the
steamer Mariposa, expecting to spend
the summer at Seattle.
Louis L. Harding, deputy internal
revenue collector for Alaska, has
tendered his resignation to his chief
at Washington. He intends to en
gage in business at Seward. But a
fe.w months ago Edgar Raines, of
Seattle, resigned this deputyship to
engage in the Alaska tourist busi-j
ness.
Dr. Council, who started on a
hunting expedition last Thursday and
expected to be joined this morning
by Rev. J. S. McBride, on a trip up
the Taznuna rive.r, may change his
plans. Word comes that he has al
ready secured three bear while hunt
ing along the Copper River south of
Taznuna. This may satisfy him.
Then Rev. McBride will not be. able
to make the trip as he had arranged
to accompany T. M. Hunt on a trip
to Cook’s Inlet. Mr. Hunt and party
will leave on the' launch Restless on
Thursday morning, and expects to
spend several weeks to the west
ward. Rev. McBride will likely only
stay a few days at Ship Creek and
Knik before returning on one of the
regular steamers to Cordova.
Mrs. Abe Courtright expects to
spend the summer months with her
parents at Se.attle. She will leave
on the steamer Mariposa.
The steamer Mariopsa reached
Cordova yesterday morning about 5
o’clock and left for the westward
shortly after 7. She had expected
to re.turn early on Thursday morn
ing, but as she went to the relief of
the steamer Seward this morning she
may be delayed a day or more. When
the Mariposa sailed from Seattle she
had over 250 passengers, most of
whom were for the westward, includ
ing 83 for Seward and 90 for
Anchorage. The following were pas
sengers for Cordova:
W. Storey, Dr. W. G. Casse.l,
Mrs. E. Krippaehne, Carl Wick, Mrs.
P. Bourgman, Miss Irma Bourgman,
W. T. Bourgman, J. B. Tliorbjonsen,
Mike Bryan, Steve Morris, Swan
Johnson, John Hendrickson, James
Thomas, Mike Nick, Marie Lattin,
Jack Dalton and wife and 6 second
class.
On the steamer Mariposa which
passed through Cordova yesterday
for the. westward was a shipment of
a steam sawmill outfit, which will
be used in the construction of the
first plant of its kind at Ship Creek,
Alaska. The shipment is being
made by W. H. Malvern, a Western
Pennsylvania lumberman, who will
be. manager of the plant. The mill
will have a capacity of 20,000 feet a
day, and will be equipped with the
necessary machinery for the manu
facture of flooring, siding and other
finished lumber. The project is being
financed by a number of Seattle busi
ness men.
