VILL BE URGED IN COMING MESSAGE TO CONGRESS. PRESIDENT SAYS SO HIMSELF Build Up American Merchant Marine, Is Note of Taffs Speech to Seattle People. Seattle, Wash.. Special: President William II. Taft announced hero that he would urge, In his coming message to Congress, the enactment of a ship subsidy law. Tho President spoke before the largest audience he has faced since his trip was begun. It was a crowd that overllowed the great natural amphitheater of the Alaska-Yukon-Pa-ciile Exposition, though it has a seating capacity of 20,000 persons. The country is ready, President Taft declared, for a ship subsidy experiment. Ho said the safety of tho nation depended on the building-up of an adequate merchant marine. The President's utterance on the subject of a ship subsidy was received with thunderous appluuse. Howover, when the Preslnent turned to Alaska and declared that he was opposed to granting a territorial form of government to that far-off possession, the statement was received in silence. As tho President proceeded, however, and outlined his policy for the upbuilding of Alaska, of recommending Government aid in the construction of railroads, of a local government by a commission of live or more members appointed by the President and co-operating with the Governor, and when he told of the great possibilities that He in Alaska, he plainly caught the favor of his hearers and was loudly cheered. Later on, when he was admitted to membership in the Arctic Urotherhood, au International organization made up of Canadians nnd Americans Interested in the development of Alaska, tho President announced that ho intended to visit Alaska next summer and to go as far into tho territory as time would permit, in order that he might come into contact with the people and see for himself what might best be done for their welfare. In discussing ship subsidy President Taft declared that if a war should come at this time tho Unltod States would not have enough vessels to carry coal to its fleets, and it would be doubtful, under the neutrality laws, he added, if the United States would he able to buy foreign vessels In the emergency. ASKS BOUNTY FOR HER SONS. Mother of Ten Writes Letter of Inquiry to War Department. Washington, Special: However commendable it may be to the mother of ten sons, Uncle Sam does not give bounties to those who possess such large families. A case in point was that of Mrs. Louisa Compton, or Pinesville, La., who. in a letter to the war department, proudly boasted of tho size of her family and asked whether she was not entitled to a bounty in consequence thoroof. Although declaring that Mrs. Compton is to ho commended, tho department In a letter to hor stated that the government can not pny hor a bounty. Russian Sect Obnoxious. Los Angeles, Special: As a result or a ceremony, tho feature of which was "the frenzied dancing of men and women before an open-air altar on which the nude body of a dead girl was exposed for four days and nights, the city authorities have heen asked by Eighth ward residents to expel the members of a Russian sect which Is said to combine nil the objectionable practices of the Doukhobors and other fanatical emotionalists.

ASCENDS 1,600 FEET IN AEROPLANE AT POTSDAM. CROWN PRINCE ON AERIAL SPIN Frederick William Goes Up With Orvllle and Keeps on Smiling All the Time.

Potsdam, Cable: Orvllle Wright Saturday broke his own and all other rocordB for high flying. He roachod the unprecedented height of more thai: 1,000 feet, although an otllclal measurement was not taken. Ho took Crown Prince Frederick William as a passenger on tho first flight. The crown prince has been constantly urging Wright, since he first saw him fly, to take him up as u passenger. Wright Anally consented. Tho prince reached tho field at 1:30 In the afternoon without his adjutant. After drawing on his overcoat the prince took his seat alongside the aviator and the machine rose in the ' air. Wright kept it at a height of about twenty feet for a brief period, but the crown prince exclaimed, "HIghor, higher." Finally the aviator wont above sixty feet and the crowds heartily cheered the prince, who waved back his acknowledgments. Tho aoroplaue glided back to the starting point ten minutes later. Tho crown prince congratulated right on the easy and safe motion of tho aeroplane, and presented hint with a souvenir of the occasion, a diamond and ruby pin composing the letter W and crown. He watched tho aviator mako his high flight, which also was viewed by a large multitude. When ho returned to the earth Wright, speaking of his marvelous (light, said: "I never flew so high before.. No measurement was taken, but I estimate that I roachod an altitude of 500 meters (1.C37 feet). It is diilkult to gaugo height, but 1 mako the estimate from tho time it took me from the starting point to the greatest altitude. "Immediately after rising, I set tho height rudder at the, maximum and kept climbing steadily for fifteen minutes until tho field and adjacent country reminded mo of the picture I had from Zeppelin's airship, only things seemed smaller. "The descent I made in five minutes. I camo down at a simply terrific speed. The whole machine shook as it rushed through the air, but my sensations were Just tho same as In lower altitudes. Tho air was no colder and the wind resistance was no greater." With regard to his passenger Wright said: "The prince did not say much more than 'fine' during the flight, but 1 was able to read his impressions from his face. I never took up a passenger who looked so pleased. He just smiled when we started and kept smiling all along. I felt a great responsibility In having the future German Emperor ns a passenger. Not that I mistrusted the machine, hut any little irregularity might cause the peoplo anxiety. I stayed low at first, but tho prince kept urging mo to go higher." ARMED MAN NEAR TAFT. Suspicious Character Arrested as He Approaches President. Portland, Ore., Special: A heavily armed man was arrested while ho was attempting to approach the President as the latter was leaving his hotel to take part in the military parade. Tho man, who asserted ho was Arthur G. Wright, of Lowell, Mass., was carrying a camera when he tried to force his way nearer to Mr. Tan. When arrested by Capt. Bailey and two local detectives he declared he was trying to get a picture of the President. This explanation did not satisfy tho ofllcers and the man was taken to the police station and searched. In his pockets were found a revolver, loaded in six chambers and a largo amount of extra ammunition. The man at first tried to conceal his identity nnd asserted he came from Boston. Later he said his name was Wright, that ho had como from lxwell on a pleasure trip. He had in a pocket a police badge of Lowell and declared ho once was connected with tho force there, although ho claimed his family was wealthy. HEAVY DEATH TOLL IN ALPS. t Public Opinion Aroused Over List of 151 Killed and 211 Injured. Geneva (Cable): The annual death toll ot tho Alps, which is this year 151 killed and 211 injured, has aroused widespread public opinion throughout Switzerland, nnd the strongest pressure possible is being brought to benr In favor of the enactment of strict government regulations to control mountain climbing. As is the case every year tho majority or the victims or tho high peaks were either inexperienced people climbing for pleasure or were trying to make tho heights without guides. Hundreds make foolhardy attempts at climbing high mountains every year nnd the Swiss olllclals aro much aroused over tho making or L)c Swiss Alps wjiat they call the "graveyard or tho continent." Indian Murderer Slays Girl. Riverside, Cnl.

SULTAN KILLS PRETENDER. Lions Assault Captive and Flaming Oil Finishes Him. Paris (Cahlo): A dispntch to the Matin rrom Fez says that Inquiries show that Iii Itoghl, tho pretender to tho throne or Morocco, who was executed at Fez In tho middle of September, was put to death by Suhan Mulal Halld himself under circumstances of rovoltlng cruelty. According to tho correspondent, tho monarch, assist ed by his chaniborlalu, draggod tho pretendor Into a cago of lions and then provoked the animals, which leapod upon tho manacled captive, inflicting horrible wounds. As EI Roghi fell to the ground motionless tho Hons left him alono, dospite tho goatlings of the Sultan, who thereupon pulled his still living victim outside the cago with hooks, emptied a can of lamp oil ovor hltn and set him on fire, feeding the flanus with oil-soaked rags until nothing but tho charred bones of tho pretender remained.

r- 4 i UD BEING PICKED UP DY COOK THROUGH LECTURES. NEWSPAPER STORIES HELP, TOO Explorer Says South Pole Would Be Easy, But Does Not Expect to Undertake Trip. Washington, Special: The national capital had Dr. Frederick A. Cook "in its midst" Sunday night. Ho arrived in time to eat n hurried dinner, and then hustled over to the National Theater in order to be on time to begin his lecture. The audience numbered between 1,500 nnd 2,000, and tho prices of seats wore $1, $2 and $3 for the gallery, balcony and ground floor, respectively. Figuring from the standpoint of tho box office, the house was worth between $3.000 and R500. Tho theater proper wanted to divide the receipts with Dr. Cook on a percentage basis, but the latter's system is to buy out the house; that Is, rent it for a stipulated sum and take all the proceeds from the sale of tickets himself. While tho theater did not disclose the rental, it is belieed the amount did not exceed $500, and may have been less. If his profit should average botweon $2,000 and J3.000 a night, 100 lectures would bring him in something like a quarter of a million dollars, and thus, viewed from a financial perspective, discovering the north pole, or even claiming to be the discoverer of It, has its compensations as well as its physical hardships. Dr. Cook has now been lecturing for a week or 10 days, and his plan is to contlnuo doing so indefinitely, or at any rate until scientific and geographical societies apply the acid test to tho data ho will present In substantiation of his claim. Possibly tho rich pickings from lecturing, which Dr. Cook Is gathering, may furnish a partial explanation of the attitude of Commander Peary, for it is a matter of comment here that the doctor has not been deterred from taking tho lecture platrorm by the chargo of Peary that he was handing the public a "gold brick." Aside rrom tho earnings from his lectures, it is estimated that Dr. Cook will realize fully as much from his newspaper articles and the book which his publishers will soon offer to the public. Asked whether lie Intended to mako an effort to reach the south pole, Cook said positively that he had no such purpose, nor did ho ever expect to undertake the trip. He expressed the opinion, however, that It would be easier to reach the south pole than the nortli pole, on account of geographical conditions, meaning there was more land there and tho approaches did not come so near being Impassable. An enthusiastic crowd of several thousand peoplo greeted Dr. Cook upon his arrival at tho Union Station, nnd tho throngs In their eagerness to see or get near him were kopt hack with difficulty by several score of police and detectives. MUD TURTLE'S NIBBLE So Excited the Fisherman That Ho Died of Heart Failure. St. Louis, Mo., Special: Tho first nibble on his hook after sovoral fruitless hours of fishing proved fatal to Edwin J. Stickmeyor at Wobor's Lako near Portage Do Sioux. Tho excitement incident to tho nibble brought on an attack of heart failure, and the llsherman's death was almost instant.

TRIBESMEN JOIN RIFFIANS AGAINST THE DONS.

EXPULSION OF ALL CHRISTIANS From the Moor Region Reported to Be the Desire of Sultan Mulal Hafid. Madrid, Cable: Gonoral Marina, commander of the Spanish forces at Melilln, has opened the offensive, but tho recent resistance of tho Moors and the Spanish losses have convinced the Government that tho war Is not yet over, and that too much Importance should not be attributed to the capture of Mt. Guruga. The Moors aro reported to bo concentrated on the three mountains, Argan, Uixan and Mllon, which are almost equally as dangerous of access us Mt. Guruga and must be dislodged. Thero uro persistent reports here that Mulal llafld is secretly encouraging a holy war and urging the tribesmen in the vicinity of Fez to join the Hifllans and expel the Christlaus from the country. It is understood that several tribes have dispatched contingents to reinforce Harka, the Killlan loader. The real reason for the ministerial preoccupation over the situation is tho equivocal attitude of the Sultan. Feat are entertained that he may desire to Incite a general war between Spain and Morocco. Dispatches to tho Madrid newspapers from Gibraltar say that German steamers are disembarking cannon and large quantities of guns and ammunition at Moroccan pjus, destined for tho Government. Great Britain and France, it is said, have been Informed of the situation, and whilo they are guarding neutrality they aro seeking by diplomacy to prevent v. collision. The declaration that the Morrocan mission has decided suddenly to quit Madrid is olllclally denied. A largo depot of arms for tho revolutionists has been discovered at Barcelona, and It is believed that bombs aro being- secretly manufactured in large numbers. Fourteen Anarchists have been arrested outside of Barcelona. COMPETE FOR MISERY PRIZES. English .Bachelors Essay to Look Gloomy as Possible. London, Cable: In the llttlo Shropshire township of Market Drayton thero lias been soon more apparent misery In a day than one would normally find in two whole counties. Iocal bachelors wandered around with the scored lines of anguish upon their features. Fortunately, this distress was merely on the surface. All the wearers of jaundiced countenances were competitors in one of tho strangest competitions ever devised a competition for tho most miserable looking bachelor. It was held nt a fete In aid of a tihtopjnlro sanatorium. For days past the bachelors had heen practicing how to draw a long face. The fete would have been a gloomy function had there not been ns a contrast prizes offered for the happiest looking spinster. No feto field ever presented such n comical appearance as did the tented Inclosuro at tho end of the town. Whilo the men essayed to look gloomy the girls were all charms. In tho "misery" class marks were awarded for the following points: Puckered brows, drooping mouth corners, wild or sad eyes, unshaven chin, and general forlorn appearance. Dimples, good teeth, apple cheeks, enticing glances went towards tho making of a happy young woman. Eventually the "misery" prize went to a young man named William Turner. The award for the happiest young woman wont to a girl who has tho misfortune to be deaf and dumb Miss Lucy Pearson, a pretty brunette. FAR NORTH TRAGEDIES TOLD. Ship From Frozen Zone Reaches Civilization With News. St. Johns, N. F., Special: Tragedy In the far North formed tho burden of tho news brought to port by the Hudson Bay Company's steamer Adventure, which arrived with tho crew of tho lost Dundee whaler Paradox and tho story of an Eskimo, who, driven to cannibalism by starvation, ate his child and, shooting several neighbors who attempted summary punishment, Hod into the trackless wilderness of ice.

tion of a murderer by a man who never saw the prisoner, but who says ho saw the murder committed In a dream, will bo attempted by tho local police department Just as scon as Gonoral BJoorlln, who Is now critically ill in the west of Sweden, Is strong enough to look at the photographs of the anarchist who nsasslnntcd his friend, General Beckman, on the night of Juno 20. At tho vory hour that tho crime was committed, but many miles from the scene or It, General Bjoerlln, raving in delirium, saw in a reverlsh vision his old friend shot down In a street in Stockholm. Suddenly ho shunted: "Drop that, you scoundrel!" Then: "Hoar, tho shots aro exploding!" When tho nurso sought to calm him ho became very angry and tried to spring out of bed. "Can't yon hear?" he cried. "Can't you see the smoke? They have murdered Gen. Beckman. Don't you see the blood in the street?" He raved 11 night, but at daylight grew calmer and slept an hour. When ho woke he said: "You will And that General Beckman has been murdered. I am suro or It." He oven described tho time in detail. At 9 o'clock the papers arrived telling or the assassination of General Beckman. The nurse says the .published version of the crime and tho sMc man's dream tally in all essential parts. The question is: Will General Bjoerlln recognize tho man arrested for the crime as the murderer of his dream? FLESH AT $1,000 A POUND. Buxom Teacher Brings Novel Breach of Promise Suit.
