NO ONE HURT IN RUNAWAY (From a Btaff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—(Special.)— There 1s every prospect that Alaska will be granted a delegate In congress this win- ter. It has long needed one and the need has greatly Increased with the unexpected Gevelopment of the resources of the mighty {territory in recent years, The subcommit- tee of the senate committee on territories, which has just returned from Alaska, 13 in favor of representation by delegate, but is hostile to a territorial form of govern- ment for the great possession. The committee went to Alaska for the spectal purpose of Investigating conditions and there is little doubt that its recom- mendations will be approved by the com- mittee and the senato. On the house side there has long been a feeling favorable to Alaskan representation. Now that we have delegates from Porto Rico and little Hawall there seems to be no valid remson why we should not have one from the most extensive of our territorlal posses- sions. In the event that a delegate is given Alaska, in all probabliity the republican candidate for that office will be the present governor of Alaska, John Green Brady. Governor Brady Is a New Yorker by birth, his early edication, howover, having been | recelved from Judge John Green of Tipton, | Ind, to whom he was sent by the Chil- | dren's Ald soclety of New York when a tiny tot. Later he worked his way through Yale and the Unfon Theological seminary, Dr. Davis, Family Have Exef 4 Coachma Time, but A Not Injured. David Houser was stabbed to death by Charles Ellsworth about one-halt mile southwest of Hill's road house on the main road leading into Omaha, at 12:30 o'clock this morning. Both men reside in Counctl Blufts and had been at the road house to attend a dance. Houser's death was not Instantaneous. He dled about an hour after the wound was inflicted, in Dr. Hobb's office at 2816 Sherman avenue. John Fosdick and David Houser attended a dance at Hill's road house yesterday evening together. A woman with whom Houser had been on somewhat intimate terms was also attending the dance, and during the evening had shown some at- tention to Ellsworth. This Houser re- sented. He and Ellsworth had some words Quring the evening at different times. About 11:30 Houser and Fosdick decided to return home. Fosdick took the buggy and was in company with a woman, Opal La- Blunche, while Houser started to walk on ahead. After they had gone about a mile Houser, who seemed to be considering the incidents of the evening, turned to Fosdick and safd: “I1 don't like the way T have been used. T guess 1 will go back and settle with that fellow.” Fosdick attempted to dissuade him, and told him that he was foolish to go hunting trouble as there were five or six men in the other party while he was only one. A fine team of carriage horses belonging to Dr. B. B. Davis porformed a feat y terday which resulted in the demolition of the doctor's carrlage and came danger- ously near terminating seriously for its oc- cupants, the doctor, his family and coach- man. Tortunately, however, none was hurt and the horses themselves got off without injuries. Dr. Davis, Mrs. Davis and their little #0n were in the carriage, which was being | drivon by their coachman to the Madison at Twenty-first and Chicago streets, where the family was to dine. At Twenty-second and Chicago the horses scared and ‘soon 80t beyond control of their driver. They whisked into the front yard ot Judge Doane's residence, paying little heed to the fence which partially surrounds the place. Pleking a favorite tree, they made a few fancy turns around it, and then decided to romp over Into the next yard, which was that of Count Creighton. In the meantime, however, Mrs, Davis first, then the father with his boy, and last the coachman, emerged safely from the rig., which was atill attached to the horses. It looked like & cinch for the death of two mighty fine horses and the destruction of the carria The latter just about came true, but COURSE OF DEPARTMENT IS DEFENDED Many Chbanges Made Have Already Been Investiga OMoers Have Been Removed and Work is to Be Contin WASHINGTON, Sept. & — Secretary Hitcheock today made public the follow- ing correspondence between himself and Phillp C.

He made one of the most popular governors the Russian purchase ever had. Governor Swineford has made Aleska his home ever since. He has appeared frequently in Washington in Alaskan interests.

If the capital of the United States was iocated In the exact center of our country It would be in the Pacific ocean 600 miles north by west of San Fran- cisco.” This was before our country became a world-girdling power; It was before the gold discoveries of the Klondike and Nome and bofore the mighty rush of people from everywhere in Alaska. At the same time the then governor spoke of the agricultural posstbilities of the “American Wonderland" and amased the Washington newspaper men by telling them that Indlan children played baseball and danced barefooted be- fore the executive residence in Sitka on Christmas day. He also delighted In ex- hibiting a map of Alaska made on the scale of an ordinary state map.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6—Prof. Erle Bparks defended modern journaltsm before the regular weekly session of the Cook county | teachers' Institute at the normal school | and declared the newspapers were the barometers of the times. He deplored the ‘sensational ideals” of the modern | editors, but said that they reflected the tdeas of the times. The rémarks were made In the course of a lecture on ““Rerorm Movements in Amer- foa.” The lecture was a critical study of | Horace Greeley, with speclal attention to | the great reform movements of the middle of the century in which he was interested —abolition, temperance and woman suf- | man was frage. He told of the high principles which governed Greeley in the management of the New York Tribune and compared them to the methods of later editors. | “The newspaper is, however he said, | “an accurate barometer of the times.
