PROSPECTOR IN ARIZONA JAIL
CHARGED WITH DROWNING
TWO LITTLE GIRLS.
Tells a Story of Having Been Attacked
By a Mexican While in Company
With Two Girl*, But Story
Is Not Believed.
Globe, Arlz.—Charged with drown
ing Mula and Myrtle Goswick, 11 and
• 12 years old, in Salt river, twenty-four
miles from here, Kingly Olds, a pros
pector forty-six years of age. mining
partner of the father of the two girls,
was lodged in the county jail here on
Sunday with his lower jaw shot away.
In an ineffectual attempt, it is be
Ueved, to oomrnit suicide after killing
the two girls.
Olds rode into Globe Saturday night
and told a story o* having been shot ;
by an Indian or Mexican, and it was
feared that the girls, who were known
to have been with him. had also been
shot and killed. Sunday their bodies
were found in the water of the river,
where they evidently had been for
nearly twenty-four hours. They had
been drowned. Their bodies were im
mediately brought here in an auiomo
bile and Olds was lodged in jail.
A posse which went out to find the
girls when Olds first came into Globe
found no corroboration of Old's story
of being shot by a Mexican. Only one
trail could be found, and it led from
where Old's shotgun was found by the
river bank to where he took the road
to Globe.
Wesley Goswick, father of the little
victims, was disarmed while coming to
Globe with the avowed intention ot
killing Olds.

Chief Forester Pinchot and Several
Minor Officials Were Dismissed
From Public Service as Result of
Controversy Over Claims.
Washington.—The famous Cunning
ham Alaskan coal land claims, through
which it has been alleged that the
Morgan-Guggenhelm syndicate had
planned to extend their vast interests
in Alaska and to control one of the
most valuable coal fields in the world,
were on Monday formally disallowed !
by the department of the interior.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher hav
ing approved the department's deci
sion as handed down by Fred Dennett,
commissioner of the land office, the
last door is believed to have been
closed to the Cunningham claimants.
Their attorneys have threatened an
appeal to the United States supreme
court, but such an appeal can be
based only on some point 01 iuvr in
volved, and not on the findings of fact,
as announced by the department.
The Cunningham claims have
been in the public eye for more than
two years. They brought about the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigation by
congress and the dismissal from the
public service of Chief Forester Gif
ford Pinchot, Louis R. Glavis, a chief
of field division in the land office,
and several minor officials. Both
Messrs. Pinchot and Glavis were dis
missed for insubordination incident to
their attacks on former Secretary Bal
linger, whom they claimed was favor
ably disposed toward the claims.
In announcing the decision of the
department, Secretary Fisher, who
succeeded Mr. Ballinger, declared tnat
new coal land laws are needed in
Alaska if that territory is to be de
veloped properly.

"The cacellation of the claims," he
said, "Is proof, given by the adminis

against it to prevent coal monopoly in
Alaska was not only successful, but
necessary and rieht. This victory in

TO ABANDON MILITARY POSTS
General Wood Declare* That Secre

Least Four Posts In Northwest.
Washington.—At leiut four and pos
sibly six military posts in the north
west are to be abolished in the near

Leonard Wood, chief of staff, before
the house committee on expenditures
in the war department.
The posts to be abandon 'd are the
smaller ones, and the present investi
gation exempts brigade and regimen
tal and recruiting stations. This is
the first step in the policy leading
ultimately to the concentration of the
army in a few large posts located on
trancontinenfal lines convenient for
quick mobilisation.
While the order is expected during
the present summe.', the abandonment
of posts will not occur until troops
are to be moved to Panama and Ha
waii. When eight or ten regiments
are sent to Panama and Hawaii they
will be taken as far as possible from
the posts to be abandoned and the
