Alaskan land frauds, today ordered
subpoenas Issued for George Turner,
formerly United States senator Irom

Turner la wonted aa a witness because
of Frost having testified to being guided
to some extent by the advlco of Turner
as to the method of acquiring Altibka
coal lands.

ing today of a letter by the government
in which It appeared Mr. Turner, had
Jbeen Instrumental In preventing certain
evidence from coming before the federal
court In Beattle, Wash!, which In 1311
was Investigating the alleged land fruudu.

court, attorneys of Toronto, was dated
January 9, 1911, and read:
"Dear Frost: I have Just had a con
versation with Osborne, who ho.. seen
Boland and as the matter Is one In
which a letter ought not to be pro
duced, he suggests that It Is better that
I should write you, so the letter might
be privileged.
"Boland Is Informed from Turner's of
fice by cipher telegrams today that the
charges against yourself, Watson and Lab
eree may be filed by a grand jury and that
he had better keep him on this side of
the line If possible.
"Boland suggested that If you know
Stewart's address you should probably
send him such a communication as you
think wise under the circumstances.
"We suppose hero that having regard
to .Turner's former negotiations . with
you "upon this subject on .behalf. of
Laberee, lie had probably communicated
with you direct, and In case he ha not
done to there may be some foundation
for the report."
Chance ARaliiNt Mullen.
, According to the government Mullen,
while employed by the government" to
protect Us Interests, was actually Inter
esting himself In behalf of Frost and
concealing certain facts from the gov
ernment. Mullen denied this charge when

point at Issue Is the disposal of tbo lliiti,
C00.000 Southern Pacific stojft owned by

Mrs. Pankhurst
Appears as Her
Own Attorney
LONDON. April 2.-Mr. Emmcllno
Pankhurst. from the prisoners' enclosure
at tho Old Baltcy court house today
pleaded "not guilty" to the chargo of
having "counselled others to place, fel
oniously and maliciously, certain gun
powder and other explosive substances
with Iptent thereby to damage" David
Lloyd eGorge's country house at Walton
Health.
The suffragette leader, frail looking arid
pale, found the court room crowded with
women wearing the suffragette colors.
She talked composedly to Sir Charles
Montague Lush, the judge, and an
nounced, "I will defend myself." A table
was assigned to her for her papers.
Archibald It. Bodkin, counsel for the
treasury, had not proceeded far with his
opening of tho case when Mrs. Pankhurst
Interposed with the objection:
"I ' do not mind counsel Introducing
reports of my speeches made by journa
lists, but I object to police reports. They
are grossly Inaccurate, very Ignorant und
ungrammatlcat, and convey an abso
lutely wrong impression of what I said."
The Judge soothed her by promising
that she would have opportunity later
to correct them.
Mr. Bodkin's speech closely followed
the arguments used during the prelimi
nary hearing In the police court. He
said It was not suggested that Mrs.
Pankhurst was present at tho time the
bomb was placed in Lloyd George's
house, but the prosecution charges that
she wos an accessory before the fact.

at 7 oclock today. The reller, however,
will only bo temporary. It Is said, as
engineers gave as tho cause the passing
of the crest In the Wabash high water.
The crest of the Ohio river flood waters
Is still to come and it Is expected that
before tonight the gauge readings will
bo again In tho ascendancy.
Another causo for tho standstill was
said to be due to the vast volume of
water now flowing Into the lowlands ot
tho drainage district. It was reported
that the water Is flowing over the Big
Four tracks In that section for a dis
tance of three-fourths of a mile.
Thoso who are looking out for the re
inforcement of the levees did not allow
work to abate, oven though tho rise had
stopped.. Train service Into tho city had
net been resumed early tdday, Only
work trains enma In and the sand hauled
on these was rapidly placed on tho levees
by a big forco of workmen.
Hope Is held out that tho waters may
continue to recede today In order that
the city may be better prepared for the
high water which is coming.
Conditions In the drainage section were
at a standstill. All business was aban
doned and it was said by tonight tho
great area would be under at least
twelve feet of water.

Louisville with a gauge slightly more
than 45 feat.

rising water. Paducah, with water stand
ing more than two feet deep In the
lower section of the city, faced the men
