so that the Democrat- wiil accept

“he will then pull the string- to se- !
cure the nomination on the Repuhli- j
can ticket for Taft, who is generally i
looked upon as being safe and sane, !
and thus name his - -cce-sor. Abso
lutely no credence is pot in the thire j
term idea for Roosevelt, as they feei j
that the President is too wj-e a mar. I
to undertake to act contrary to a,
past usage, especially when such a
large wir.g of his own party is—to
put it mildly—not in accord with him.
Washington, April 9—Secretary of
State Root, la-: night, cor.-firmed the
rumor of his resignation from the
i cabinet. He said that he sou id cer
tainly retire if President Roosevelt
persisted in grooming Taft for the
presidency. Further he said, ‘‘units
Mr. Roosevelt, himself is a candidate
I shall probably be one myself, an<;
it is distasteful for me to see the
president urging the candidacy of any
man. Our presidents hitherto have
refrained from interfering, and in so
doing set a good precedent for those
succeeding them to emulate." Presi

KETCHIKAN I
Local Happenings of the Past
Seven Days Tersely
Told.
Mi-s. Sieve Kallaeeni attempted to
take her own iife this afternoon about
:30 o'clock by shooting herself ir
the loft breast. The weapon list'd was
i 30-30 rifle. The woman evidently
rested the butt of the gun on a win
dow sash above her bead, with tin
nuzzle pointiug downward resting
\gainst her left breast. She dis
charged the pun viitli a piece o'
wood. The ball entered the hreast
ranging downward coming out on tin
i left side about midway hack on tin
llth rib. Hr. Hail was called in aiv
found her suffering from a severe
h minor!-age. He dressed the wound
but on account of the flow of blood i
unable to tell whether a vital poiui.
,ad been injured. The woman is now
i
-esting fairly easy, is conscious, bin ,
;as nothing to say about her rash 1
ict. She was confined to the S. j
John's hospital about six or eight j
weeks ago under the impression tlur
-he was insane. Site improved appar- 1
colly and was released and it w a - j
supposed she was out of danger until
his afternoon when she attempted i
.-elf-destruction.
The attemped suicide of the wo mar j
valiazeay briefly chronicled in this j
•ip»r yesterday has brought to ligh:
he sad story of a ruined life, whicl :
? true. were a pity the shot had no: .
seen fired in a direction that would ■
ave hastened the black and damned j
soul of the foul and rascally husbam !
o it* final destination with the devil
and his angels.
It appears that the woman is ;
raiive of Vienna, and of good family.
>f which piace her husband, a Bohern
an. was a resident before coming tc
America. The woman, who is iittk
core than a mere girt, is fairly wel
educated, iD her own language, anc
v musician of some aecomp i hmeni.
vhile her husband i* a worthless
ellow known generally ~as “Crooked
Steve"—a gambler, and so crooked
hat when the town was running
vide oi>en he could not secure and re
ain employment in any of the gam
ding houses.
The story is to the effect that
Kallazeny. who came to Alaska som<
line or ten years ago went to his ole
olace of residence iD the winter of
ISW5, and there represented himseli
t* a rich fur buyer and curio dealei
rom Alaska. The glamour of hi- j
iretended wealth led bis present wift j
o accept his attentions and ficaliy |
nlo a promise of marriage, to which
r parents, s ■ _
their assent. V.'hen this point wa*
eached. Kallaz-ny told her and hei
narent* that owing to the fact that hi
lad never served his time in the
Austrian army, he was liable to
wrest if the authorities becameavrar
if bis presence in tier country, which
tact would certainly become knowr
f he remained long enough to have
he banns published. The excuse
-eemed plausible enough, and th«
•arents ailowedi the giri to accompany
iim to America. When the couple
irrived at New York. Kallazeny i* p
esented the girl as his neic--. but lit'
mmigration officials suspecting -ome
I king wrong, would not allow them
j o iand until they were married, ant
; :oulc show the amount of means re
| puired by the law. Kallazeny, hav
| ng bis first papers. was allowed on
| diore long enough to po--* -- him.se ij
i ,f a hundred dollars, which he bor
I owed from a distant relative by
| narriage named Cramer, who cow
| Ives here in Ketchikan. They were
then married, and came here to
Ketchikan, where Kallazeny had beet,
iving by his wits for several years.
;fe rook the woman to a little cabin
n Newtown, where he has kept her.
\ .radically a prisoner, ever since.
| ind never allowing her a ix-nny foi
>ny purpose.
About two years ago the woman
gave birth to a still-born child, with
'.either doctor or nurse in attendance,
; and that she survived the ordeal is a
i nvstery to the women in the irre
| nebiate neighborhood. One of tlx
; .eigbbors assert* that Kallazeny '
Ireatment of the woman was ahso
utelv inhuman—that he paid n<
! ittention to the doctor's instructions,
l .nd acted as if he would rather have
he jxxjr woman die than live. Jf‘
jas told the people in Newtown that
he didn't want anyone to come near
the house, had tried to force the
woman to enter a ho ute of prostitu
tion, and has refused to get assistance
when she was sick.
The latter [ art of January the
woman was confined again, and again
without medical attendance until
after the child was lx»rn. and the re
•>ult of the pain of unattended child
birth, supplementing the years of
j abuse the jxxir woman had suffered
at the hands of the brute to whom she j
, was bound by law, drove her insane,
.She w as moved to 8. John's hospital
where she remained for some time
I until Kalla.’.ony took her hack to
her life of misery. The child, full
I of syphilis, diet), and the mother has
brooded over her condition ever since
until, unable to bear it longer, she
priced the mu.-.tle of the, gun against
her breast. and pulling the trigger
tried to end it all.
There are other things connected
with the ease, one of which would not,
if told, reflect much credit on a eer
lin federal official, luit he may be
left to settle that as he may with his
atn conscience. But as to the beast
<f a husband, in the probable absence
nf any law under the provisions of
which he can be given the reward
due to h’.s deserts, it would seem as
if some means might be Idevised
which, without doing violence to am
statute, would relieve the town foi
ill time to come of lus vile presence.
The wounded woman, who was.
iftor some contention and bickering,
emoved to S. John's hospital last
.■veiling, where she is receiving tin I
best care and attention, is resting
•omfortalily today, and the attending
physician gives it as his opinion that
unless there be some complicatioi
which h is not vet exhibited itself,
she will most probably recover from
the self-inflicted injury.
