They seek revision or tn mining- laws tliat will oust the Guggen hrlms from Alaska arid open top the Coal deposits to their legitimate develop ment. To make it Impossible for corpo rate interests to take up and hold big tracta of mineral land is another pur pose. To'' depose Balllnger. alleged rep resentative apd champion of tha "inter ests," is the most cherished Weal of all. "The- reason the coal lands of Alaska have not been opened up is because the ruggpheim have been v hoping by trickery to get thera i alV declared a mining engineer"of national prominence while in Portland yesterday: "They be lieve that though the finger of suspicion has .been - pointed .toward .their , man, Balllnger; and although the voice of accusation has been heard against him", they will : yet aueceed - in keeping control at the untold wealth obtained in the. undeveloped mineral lands of the United States and Alaska. And when you '!: look the situation over, it is to realise that the "big Inter ests' have not been scratched. Balllnger, whom many of the miners of this coun try believe to be the Guggenhetms'- hired man, has been getting somo body blows, but has the seat of privilege yet. been nhaken? ' We expect to revise the min ing laws so as to strike at privilege mid thtj, conditions that permit privi lege; more than1' to strike at the types and representatives and champions of privilege. ' ' The rnlning laws of this country are in such a confused condition today that they are worthless save to the interests. They permit a gobbling up of, the min eral lands by the big fellows, and the small miners, the men who would de velop . legitimately the mines, are crowded out. The Interests expect to possess the mineral lands and turn all the profits Into their own pockets. The smaller miners would , pay a, proper price for what they get and the people of the nation would receive the bene- nts. ' .- ;.: The proposed revision of . mining laws will have a, place in the history of the nation as a part of the long fight against privilege. Xf we are success ful It will mean that coal and copper and pther minerals will ba supplied to the people at reasonable prices, and we will all prosper together. As It li now, the interests are permitted by the mm 1ng laws to prosper and Id hold the min eral lands, while the legitimate miners are crowded out." ... . Secretary of Interior Known to i (Staff Correspondent of The Journal.) Vancouver, Wash., Oct. 5. Aitnougn charges brought against Vancouver po licemen by 'Willie Daake, 15 years old and half-witted, who accuses th'em-of stretching him by the neck to wring a confession from him, were Quashed at a secret inquiry' held by- the mayor- and police committee of the city council with the simple verdict of "nothing doing," no testimony was taken from Miss Belle Carty and her sister who heard two of ficers berating the boy. s The. fact that the boy's father was refuse permission tobe present at the inquiry and that no attorney represented him, has been published. - With adverse criticism directed to ward tbe'm because of the high handed manner In which , the inquiry was held, oity officials were compelled today to face "reports , of two burglaries com mits Saturday night in residence neigh borhoods, the . manner of which indi cates they were committed by the same thief or thieves, that robbed the Presby terian manse, which Willie' Daake is ac cused of having looted. ri i ' Ho' Svldeaoe. With 'practically no evidence against the boy but his confession, which he says was forced from him by fear of death, and with other burglaries occur ring as frequently as before the boy's arrest, the police find themselves un favorably regarded by the publlo, k Saturday ntghtrbatween 8' o'clock and 19 o'clock, the home of J5H. Gray,' Nine teenth and Main streets, was entered by burglars, who are . supposed to -. have gained entrance through a window, and, a - qui giass dowi, several articles of lawelry, embroidered linen and a gold watch taken. As . in the Presbyterian manse, only the best of everything was talcon, .washed gold pins and cheaper ornaments being discarded .? Trunks, suitcases, burc&u drawers and every re ceptacle that might have contained val uables, were ransacked, as was done in the Presbyterian- manse. . ! At about the same Ume on the same night the home of Jay Teffipleton,. Nine teenth and Washington streets, was ransacked. Nothing of great value was taken,- for the thieves were evidently frightened way before completing their search. ' The same methods were used as were employed by -the robbers who entered the Presbyterian manse and the home. of the Gays. , '" f righting Alderman": Busy. -v Councilman DuBois, the "fighting al derman" of Vancouver, is making aa in. vesttgatlon of the affair today. He said he wanted to know if the facts Justified the placing of the matter before the city council and of his demanding a public hearing. He will IntervleV the boy and .will confer with the jnaydf and city councilmen who form the police committee. -He said that if the charges were true, he would take up the cause of the boy with fervor, and would see to it that the members of the police force upon whom rested the stigma of brutality, were discharged. Mayor John P. Klgglns said today that he did not know the investigation Thursday night was a seoret Inquiry, although he was present and acted aa one of the examiners. He said he did not know that newspaper reporters were refused admission, arid did . not know that William Daake, the aged father. of the boy, applied at the door for admit tsnce and was turned away.
