Government Guarantee Nec
essary to Prevent Fail
ure of Schemes.
Washington, April 6—Unless gov
ernment assistance is forthcoming
two of the principle railroad projects
for Alaska will be abandoned accord
ing to the declaration made Saturday
by the representatives of the Alaska
Contral and Marshall's Pass before
the congressional committee which
has charge of such matters. The rep
resentatives of the roads made a
strong plea and a strong showing but
the mcmbors of the committee wore
non-commital.
The railroad representatives pointed
out that the projocts in question will,
if completed, go a long way toward
the development of Alaska and asked
that the government guarantee four
per-cont bonds. The attitude of the
government toward projects in the
Philippines was referred to with con
ciderable bitterness.

FIND TOOLS OF
PREHISTORIC AGE
Relics of a pro-historic ago, ospoci
aily interesting to the students of
archeology, were found recently on
tho inland of Latoucho, in Prince Wil
liam sound, by A. K. Beatson, manag
ing owner of the big Beatson cop
per property.
Tho discovery of these toolH of tho
stono ago was made by the removal
of an old stump which had long ob
v structod a pathway. \ few sticks of
powder sufficed to blow tho\stump
and roots from their previous position,
and exposed to view a shaft made by
human hands. Beatson and bin men
wore naturally surprised at tho reve
lation, and began an investigation.
At the bottom of tho shaft various
tools which wore probably used in tho
digging wore found. Those, imple
ments, crude in construction and odd
as to form, wore made entirely of
stone. Tho shaft was undoubtedly
sunk by aborigines who lived and had
their boing when tho world was young.
Homo of the bluish mud, heavily
mineralized, found in tho bottom of
tho shaft, was placed in a retort and
beads of native coppor soon appoared.
This mud beeamo impregnated with
copper by teachings, and provos that
the big Beatson lode has continuty as
tho old shaft is within fifty feet of tho
end lino of the Bcatuon ground whore
it joins the Gird wood-Barrack prop
erty.

DESCRIPTION OF
AMERICAN AUTO
Tho Amoricnn car in the NowYork
to-PiiriH race which is loading all com
|>ctllorH is not a specially proparod
machine. E. R. Thomas, head of tho
buffalo and Detroit factorlon, Haid
recently:
"Tho Thomas Flyer entered in tho
Now York-to-Paris raco is a regular
stoek ear, with absolutely no change
or alteration in the chassis. Every
ThomaH car is made as well as wo
know how, an well as tho bout skill
and material can produce, and we
could not possibly do moro.
"Every Thomas Plyor is designed
to go everywhere any car can pos
sibly go, and not only to go, but to
come back. The greatest value of
this raco is in tho faet that the
ear is the same as any other Thomas
Plyor, demonstrating to every owner
that he could go to Paris in his ear,
should ho choose.
♦ Regulation Chassis
"Tho car which represents America
was on the finish floor of our factory,
being prepared for H)ii]»rient to the
Wliltten-Gilmoro Company, the
Thomas dealors in Hnston, when it
whh decided to enter it in tho Now
York-to-Parls race. We had intended
to use tho stripped chassis with which
Mr. Roberts won tho Brighton
twenty-four-hour race, the Wilkes
harro hill climb, and many oUior
events of the postseason. Our entry
in tho Hriarcliffo trophy raeo made it
imperative that we rotain the strip
pod chassis for that event, and wo
were left without a car for the race
around the world. Hovoral runabouts
of various modols Wore coming
through tho factory, and tho sales do
partment immediately telegraphed
the various dealers to procure a rel
ease from delivery. Finally tho
Whltton-Ollmoro Company consented
to give up thoir car, and it was hur
riedly prepared for tho race.
But one Change Made
"Absolutely no changes wore made
In tho chassis, other than the steel
bar which was placed across the
frame connecting tho two front spring
hangers. This was not added to
strengthen tho car, but to furnish a
suit able attachment for a ropo should
It at any time become necessary to
hoist the ear by moans of block and
tackle. Aside from this slight altera
tion tho chassis Is absolutly stan
dard."

PROSEMN OF
ANARCHISTS URGED
Washington, April (1—ProHecution
of all editors of anarchistic publica
tions which urge murder is declared
necessary in an opinion sent by At
torney General Bonaparte to the

upon the action of the president in
urging congress to take such steps as
to make it possible for the immigra
tion department to deport all persons
known to have advanced anarchistic
beliefs.
The entire opinion of the attorney
general will be made public soon.
It is said that the opinion doals with
the subject in a most, exhaustive man

HACKENSCHMIDT FINDS

Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion af
ter two hours of terrific endeavor to
pin Frank (lotch to the mat in what
was the match for the world's wrest
ling championship. Hackennchmidt
had ilsed every artifice at his com
mand and in spite of his great strength
had found the tricky American too
much for him. The Russian had also
been subjected to terrible punishment
and he was completely exhausted.
(Jotcli, while the fresher of the two,
was nevertheless in bad shape and it
is doubtful if he could have thrown
Hackenschmidt. The latter asked
for a draw before giving up. but his
request was refused.
