NEGROS TRY TO
SUPPRESS PLAY
\$k Mayor of Philadelphia to
Stop Production of "The
Clansman "
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Philadelphia, tH-t. -i’. The negro
ministers of Philadelphia petitioned
Mayor Weaver yesterday to stop tin*
production of “The 1’kinsman at the
Walnut theater, on tlie ground that it
has a tendenoy to encourage lynching
of negros. The mayor refused and at
the opening of the theater mst night
l*oo negros were at the door, for what
purpose did not seem to he elear. A
largo number of white men were also
at ht ri: _ around the negros. 1‘ifty,
policemen were called and dispersed;
the crowd*. There is much muttering i
among the negros.
It is reported today that it was the j
' intention of the negros to till the the*,
ater as far as possible and try to break |
; up the pertonnaiuv by interruptions.
BOARD DROPS
WARDEN KEES
Bitter right Started Among
Washington Republicans
b\ State Officials.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Olympia. Wash., Oct. 22 Warden
Frank Kee> was dismissed from the
state penitentiary at Walla Walla late
Saturday afternoon by the state board
of control, on the charge of speculating j
f,.r li s private profit in the grain sacks
manufactured by convicts in the
prison. The announcement caused
general surprise although a persistent
warfare has been made upon Kees for
; a long t ime.
It is declared by Kees that J>. IX
i rocker, collector of internal revenue
. for the district of Washington, is re
sponsible for his downfall. He denies
the charges against him and affirms
that they are only a pretext for his
i dismissal.
The removal of Kees is expected to
precipitate the bitterest tight in the
republican camp known in the history
of the state. It has been asserted for
a long time that ('rocker is a candi
date for the Fnited States senate in
I'KiP to succeed Ankeny, whom he
helped! to elect in 1'.«»:* and that he is
trying to build up a machine for him
self. The republican party of the
state is already rent into factions and
tins new feud will add to the com
plexity and bitterness of the situation.
Say Kees Favored Speculators
Olympia. Oct. 24 The board of con
trol today issued a statement declaring
that Warden Kies of the penitentiary
at Walla Walla was removed from
office because it was learned that he
allowed all the jute bags made in the
prison to go into the hands of specula
tors instead of the farmers direct, as
tie* law intends, and that the price of
grain bags to the farmers was thereby
increased. The board asserts that no
other charge was considered.
Mead Denies Any Fateh-up
Spokane, Oct. 2t> C.ov. Mead denies
the stories that he has framed a recon
ciliation with Senator Ankeny and B.
IX Oocker and that the dismissal of
Kees was part of the bargain. He
says the removal of Kees does not
mean a wholesale dismissal of anti
Ankeny men in state offices, as has
been charged.

Waterville. Wash.. Oct. 23—J. W.
Cody, a farm hand, while traveling to
Seattle in the smokerof a Great North

CHESTERFIELD IN
SEATTLE JAIL
Seward “Johnny” Forges A. k.
Beatson’s Name to Checks
In Seattle.
By Ca»)lo to Ttao Dally Oatoway.
Seattle. Oct. 25--The man Fuller
from La touche, Alaska, who was
arrested yesterday for forging and
I passing *1.100 in checks upon Seattle
'merchants, is identified as the man
who was known in Seward as IT. K.
Chesterfield and who shot Harry Ack
ley on the Valdez wharf in a quarrel
over a money demand as he was com-,
ing through on a steamer.
Fuller was stricken today with ap- j
, pendicitis and was removed to the
hospital. lie is not known here ex
cept to Seward men.
Gets $1300 on Forgeries
Seattle, Oct. 24 On the eve of his
wedding to Miss Nellie Hubbard,
daughter of Dr. Hubbard of Portland,
.1. C. Fuller, who arrived last Satur
day from Latouche, Alaska, was ar
rested today for forging cheeks to the
amount <>f $13<H), signing the name of A.
K. Heat son. owner of the big copper
mine th« re. to tin* paper. He cashed
the checks with local merchants.
Fuller was living like a prince at
the Kainier tlrand hotel and dressed
in the bight of fashion. He confessed
the forgeries, saving that he needed
the money to marry in good style.
Guessed It First Thing
When the news came this week that
a gilded youth decorated in glad i
rags and with gobs of money to throw
at t he birds’hadbeen arrested in Seattle
for forging the name of A. K. Bea‘son
of Latouche to a handful of checks
everybody in town offered to bet 10 to ;
1 that it was the exquisite K. K. j
Chesterfield, whose Seward and La-j
touche record was t hi* inspiration of j
more gossip than any individual factor
in the town during the present year.
Chesterfield came to Seward last
winter as a steerage passenger on the
Oregon. He professed to be a doctor,
a graduate of a Boston medical school
and stated that he intended either to
go into the Cook inlet region or to re
main in Seward. In the latter case
he intruded to furnish a suite of rooms j
which would he dazzling in their gor j
geous equipment. Ho introduced him-j
>elf to Kev. L. II. Pedersen and said
lie wa> a member of a certain Metho
! Gist church in Boston.
The story did not leak out for a long
I time that Chesterfield came up steer-!
age. He was fairly well-dressed and j
i showed a fondness for giving the j
j ladies a treat every day by walking
j around as if on exhibition. Soon after
his arrival he “accepted" a position as
clerk in the railroad commissary,
i which he held for a short time. He
wrote a good hand but possessed no!
other clerical qualification. He was j
I let out through a reduction of the
| force.
Then began the Chesterfield record
| in hard luck financiering. He had
I already told tlie girls, and some men,
1 that lie was worth nearly a million
j dollars and as proof thereof frequently
j exhibited a check for $45,000 on a fara
way hank payable to his order and
’ hearing a signature of somebody un
known here. He also said that he had
a very wealthy brother who was over
j due in Alaska and that when his
brother arrived they intended to buy
up most of the copper property on the
Southern coast.
Worked the Boys for Money
By degrees Chesterfield worked
several of the boys around town for
money enough to live on for two or
three months, lie did this partly
through persuading them that he was
what he represented himself to be and
he obtained some money by exhibiting
tine specimens of copper ore. which he
said were from claims down the bay
which he had acquired. One young
man put up a little cash on this mys
terious copper claim but was put off
every time he wanted to go and see it.
Finally he compelled Chesterfield to
j go down the bay with him in a boat.
When they reached a projecting head
land Chesterfield said: “The claim is
just beyond that and we can't get by
until low tide. There is no place to
land on the other side. We will have
to walk from here." The investor re
plied: “All right. We will wait for
low tide."
When the tide ran out the headland
still projected into the water. The in
vestor insisted on climbing over it but
as they were going over Chesterfield
“sprained his back.’’ The two then
returned to Seward without seeing the
claim.
Comparison of notes among Chester
i field’s creditors about this time con
vinced them that they were throwing
j good money after bad and the town
grew so warm for the adventurer that
he managed to secure passage on a
boat and went to Latouche. This was
in May. Soon afterward a Seward
man returned from a visit to that town

JURY CONVICTS
STANDARD OIL
Returns Verdict Against Octopus
for Conspiracy in Restraint
of Trade.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Findlay. O. Oct. 20 A verdict of j
guilty was rendered by the jury in the j
prosecution of the Standard Oil Com
pany upon the charge of conspiracy in
restraint of trade, after thirty hours
deliberation. Members of the jury
sang hymns in tho jury room.

as was done in this case, instead of at
tempting to secure indictments by

BISHOP POTTER’S DAUGHTER
ENDS HER LIFE BY SUICIDE
By Cable to Tbe Doily Gateway.
Cromwell, N. V.. Oct. 20 Mrs. Lena;
Cowdin, daughter of Bishop Henry C.
Hotter, committed suicide today by
hanging herself in the cellar of a sana- ]
tarium where she was confined. An
attendant permitted her to go alone
into the cellar.
NAMED EXPOSITION DIRECTOR
Judge Hildreth One of Alaska Repre
sentatives on Board.
Judge II. 11. Hildreth was notified
in the mail this week that he has
been appointed by Oov. Hoggatt one
of the Alaska directors of the Alaska
Vukon-Hacifie exposition to he held in !
Seattle in 1000. The letter containing j
the announcement is from I. A. Na
deau, director-general of the exposi-j
tion.
Mr. Nadeau states in the letter that
the work of preparing for the exposi
tion i> proceeding satisfactorily and
that the people of Seattle and of the
northern territories are taking great
interest in the project. The entire
capital stock of $500,000 was promptly
subscribed in Seattle.
Makes Alaska Sketches
R. \V. Porter, topographer of the
Cook exploration party, is a clever
artist and has numerous sketches of
scenes in the Cook inlet region, both
drawings and paintings in colors. He '
also has several pictures of the native
Indians. All these were made in his
spare time while doing topographical
work and traveling about last summer.
Corwin Sails from Nome
Steamer Corwin sailed from Nome
Thursday on her usual fall trip down
the coast. She expects to reach Sew
ard about October 28. The news came
last night in a message to E. R. Gray.
Last year the Corwin brought twenty
three passengers to Seward from I
Nome, most of them mining men.
A duck killed in the Klondike had;
gold in its craw.
and reported that Dr. Chesterfield had
embarked in business as an “oculist.”
He then explained that the “doctor”
was extracted eyes from potatoes as a
flunky for Beatson's boarding house at
the mine besides acting as clerk, in the
store and post office.
Early in September Chesterfield re
appeared in Seward and registered at
the McNeiley hotel as R. Kensington
Latouche. He had money to burn,
went around and paid his debts, bought
a lot of good clothes and began to per
form as a “Johnny.” He was nice to
the ladies and spent a good deal of
time at his favorite occupation of sit
ting inside the hotel window flappinga
pair of kid gloves over his left hand
with his right. Fie also plunged a
little in the tiger dens, craps being his
favorite. He had all kinds of money
and a suspicion was rife that he had
tapped Beatson's till though the gen
eral belief was that he was a remit
tance man who had been cast off for a
while and then taken up again by his
family. His trouble at Valdez with
Ackley is recent history.
