STOCKHOLDERS ARE'
AGAINST BALLAINE
Many Hard Names Applied
to Promoter of Alaska
Central Railroad.
Seattle, Juno 16—At the annual
meeting of stockholders* of the Alaska
Central Railroad last Saturday after
noon President Frost was sustained
over John E. Ballaine by a large
,majority ot the stockholders. Frost
and Ballaine each denounced the
other as a liar and a personal encoun
ter was prevented by other stockhol
ders. Ex-Senator Turner of Spokane
. assorted that Ballaine was a rattle
snake, liar and scoundrel.
On motion of Turner a committee
was appointed to confer with, the
Seattle chamber of commerce and
secure its assistance to end the re
ceivership, which was characterized
by Frostasa Ballaine fraud.
Ballaine asserts that he is backed
in the receivership matter by the
holders of nearly all the bonds of the
railroad and that they demand the
receivership to protect their interests
against Frost, whom ho charges with
overissuing the bonded limit, with
using money obtained from the sale
of railroad bonds for schemes of his
own, and other crooked financing.
He says Frost is "aCassie Chadwick"
in finance and that he is hopelessly
bankrupt.
It was such charges as these made
to Frost's faco in the stockholders'
meeting that nearly led to a riot.
Ballaine and Frost were both wild
with anger and hurled epithets at
each other while kept apart by force.
Ballaine says Turner, Laberee and
tho rest of the Spokane crowd have
no interest in the Alaska Central ex
cept a block of stock which they re
ceived as commissions for services at
the time tho Frost syndicate took
over the road four years ago. He
asserts they have never put up a dol
lar.
ALASKA CENTRAL ROW
MUST WAIT FOR JUDGE
Scuttle, Juno 16—Not until tho last
of July will Judge lteid, of the Third
judicial division of Alaska dip deeper
into the Alaska Central row. Judge
lteid arrived in this city last night
and today announced that he will not
consider the receivership outside of
his district. Ho will depart shortly
for the east and will return to Fair
hanks July 27.
Since the memorable meeting of
.Saturday, the opposing forces of the
Alaska Central management have
been lying on their arms, both fac
tions hoping that Judge Heid would
•consent to a hearing of the troubles
before departure for the east, and
poBsibly render some decision that
would settle matters, at least to such
an extent as to permit resumption of
work.
Mr. Ballaine called on Judge lteid
and attempted to discuss the Alaska
Central affair but lie was politely in
formed that while Judge lteid was
pleased t<» kcc him socially Judge
lleid did not care to discuss matters
pending in court.
In an interview, Judgo lteid among
other things sa>s that while he is
pleased with Alaska he doos not care
to live there continuously.

CALEB POWERS IS
FINALLY PARDONED
Georgetown, Ky., Juno 15—After
eight yearn spent in juil, daring which
period he has three times been con
victed of the murder of former Gov
ernor Goebel, Galeb Powers was this
morning pardoned by Governor Will
son. When his pardon arrivod,
Powors gathered up such of his bo
longings as ho desired to take with
him and wont immediately to a hotel.
Powors says ho is going home and
spend until September with his
mother and that ho wili then resume
the practice of law, establishing him
self in Barbourville.
Arriving with the pardon for Pow
ors came one for James Howard, who
was serving a life sentence for com
plicity in tiie Goebel murder. Gov
ernor Willson has announced that lie
believes Powers and Howard to bo
innocent of the crime charged against
them.
The murder of Governor Goebel,
the arrest of Powers and Howard,
and the many sensations and scandals
growing out of the crime are matters
of almost universal knowledge and
have become a shame in the history
of Kentucky. Powers has been tried
and convicted three times and each
time the higher court has reversed
the decision. The fourth and last
trial ended in a disagreement. Howard
was convicted and sentenced to life
imprisonment early in t he history of
the caso.
Bellinghani, June 17—Frank Eggles
ton, a shingle-mill owner was shot
and instantly killed by his wifo here
last night. Eggleston returned homo
intoxicated and began to abuse his
two little children and when Mrs.
Eggleston remonstrated with him he
seized a rifle and attempted to shoot
her.
Mrs Eggleston grappled with her
husband and fought with him for
nearly a quarter of an hour, prevent
ing him from using the rifle. Finally
sho obtaired possession of a revolver
he was carrying in his poeket and
realizing that it was his life or that
of her babies and her own sho pushed
the frenzied man from her and shot
him through the heart.
Mrs. Eggleston was arrested but as
the condition of the house is mute
corroboration of her story, and as
friends of Eggleston saw him in a
drunken condition before he went
home, there is no doubt but the
woman will be exorerated by the
cororner's jury.

bootleggers engaged in Belling whis
key to the Indians on the San Ber
nardino, reservation, are in jail here

by her.
For some time the bootleggers liave
been causing trouble on the agency
and their names became known to
Miss True, who told them that unless
they ceased operations she would in
form on them. This threat went un
heeded and Miss True carried it out,
the fact becoming known to the boot
leggers who conspired to ambush
Miss True and carry her to the fast
ness of the mountains, where she was
to be murdered after being subjected
to treatment worse than death.
Miss True found out about this plot
and notified the county oilicers who
were on hand when the intended ab

automobiles. In the event the sen
tance is aillrmed an effort will be

for he has been reprieved by Judge
Landis, the document arriving at the

his march to the scaffold on which
the sentence of the lower court was
to be executed. Billek accepted this
new phase to his fortunes without

without a change in his customary
disinterested demeaner.

to the United States supreme court,
and it was to permit this that the re

WOMAN IS ON A
STRANGE MISSION
Seattle, June 12—Never, perhaps,
in the history of humanity lias
woman set forth on such strange
mission as that which brings Mrs.
Dick Waaler, wife of Col. Dick
Waaler of the Norwegian army, to
Seattle. Mrs. Waaler is searohtng
for 400 missing sons and in this search
she is prepared to travol throughout
the United States and possibly
Alaska.
Mrs. Waaler is young, pretty and
speaks the lCnglish language without
difficulty, either to the language, to
herself or to her listerners. Further
more it must not be imagined for a
minute that Mrs. Waaler is in search
of her own sons, for she is not; to the
contrary she has a mission from
nearly 100 mothers, who in the old
country are pining for word from
adventurous boys supposed to be in
America.
In the majority of cases the boys
sought have not been heard from for
many years and the task of Mrs.
Waaler is a monumental one, but she
talks encouragingly of her prospects
and says that she expects, with the
aid of newspapers and the otllcial re
presentatives of her own country, to
eventually bring joy to the heart of
many a Norwegian mother.

lot, elected to hurl the bomb at the
czar whenever during the ceremonies
consequent upon the visit of the king,
the opportunity presented itself but
lacking t he courage to carry out her
behest she committed suicide, and
the investigation following the dis
covery of her body exposed tin* plot.
