One of the largest castings ever
made in Nome was completed by the
Nome foundry a day or two ago and
is now at the Seheid machine shop
lo receive the finishing touches at the
hands of the machinists. The casting
is a spud point for the Ernst dredge
and weighs something like two hun
dred anil fifty pounds.
The work of casting the big piece of
metal was quite a l>it of a job and
discloses that Nome not only has a
foundry capable of turning out good
sized joiis hut also some skillful foun
drymen.
What appears to be either a case of
a misunderstanding or of unwarranted
ofTleiousnoss on the part of somebody
lias developed in connection with the
death of tin beach miner Matt Jacob
son, who passed away in Holy Cross
hospital Monday, following an attack
of paralysis.
Through somebody’s blundering,‘ap
parently, the deceased was hurried into
the ground yesterday afternoon at the
expense of the city, without any at
tempt. at investigation as to the
wishes of friends or relatives and an
atmosphere of unseemly haste pervad
ing the whole affair.
As the deceased was a member of
thi Pioneers the members of that or
ganization are highly Incensed as are
also the close friends of the dead min
er and his partner, Ben Nelson, none
of whom were notified of the burial
until after it was over.
The l’ioncers were muking prepurue
tions to hold the funeral today and a
committee of the lady members of the
order were preparing funeral offer
ings when Carl J. Lomcu, president
of the order, suddenly discovered that
the deceased had already been burled.
Several friends of the deceased in
cluding Senator McGann who has
known the dead miner for many years,
arrived in town today expecting to j
attend the funeral only to find that
the unfortunate man had been hurried
into his grave with about as little re
spect for the decencies as could possi
bly be shown. Ben Nelson, the part
ner of the dead man, is highly indig
nant at the treatment accorded his
friend. Nelson says that there was
no attempt made to notify himself or
any of the friends of the deceased
aside from those taken by one man
who voluntarily mushed a distance of
thirty five miles to inform them of
what had taken place. The l’ioneers,
and also the out of town friends of
the deceased, commenced an investi
gation today to ascertain who was
responsible for the burial order but
up to the time of writing nothing
definite had been learned.
Considerable criticism concerning
the action or the school board in not
letting a contract for the repairs now
goin on in the school house devel
velop that the hoard has decided
that, as the work is largely jr.itch
work that has hitherto been done in
an unsatisfactory manner by eontret,
it is though better to have it done by
the day so that the board can person
ally direct what is going on. Inter
viewed by the Nugget relative to the
complaints. Clerk Grimm stated that
he work consists of some painting, a
Ijttli* papering and some carpenter
tvork, none of the jobs being really
large enough to warrant culling for
■ lids, so the board decided to go ahead
id have the work done by day labor
n a manner to suit themselves. Be
tel mg the costs, Judge Grimm de
•lared that the work would he com
pleted as cheap as by contract and in
a far more satisfactory manner.
RATIFICATION PURCHASE
TREATY RECOMMENDED
Internationa^ News Service.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6—The re
fusal of the Danish landsthung to rati
fy the West Indian purchase treaty
is evidently not taken by the solons
to mean that the deal is off and that
tho much desired islands will remain
in the possession of their present
owners.
That the foreign relations committee
of the senate, at least, believes that the
deal may yet be consumated, is Indi
cated by the unanimous recommenda
tion, made yesterday .that the treaty
recently consumated by Lansing and
the Danish envoy be ratified by con
gress before the close of the present
session.

VOTEON STRIKE
International News Sarvica.
NEW YOHlv, Sept. 6.—The surf,ice
carmen ha,ve decided to leave the
strike question to a vote but, as the
general sentiment is in favor of a sec
ond walkout, the action is decidedly
superfluous.
The leaders of the carmen predict
a walkout and declare that the com
panies are determined to break the
control of the unions.
The vote on the strike question will
be taken tonight and will probably be
followed by the immediate delivery of
an ultimatum to tho traction concerns.
The companies expect that a walk
out will take place and arc already
making preparations to run tho lines
with nonunion help.
SUFFRAGE CONVENTION
ENDORSES BOTH
HUGHES AND WILSON
international New* Service.
ALTANTIC CITY, Sept. 6.—The for
ty first annual women’s suffrage con
vention now convened here has en
dorsed both Wilson and Hughes al
though the endorsement resolution was
fought most bitterly by the more radi
cal suffragettes.
Several of the leaders claim that the
endorsement of tho two candidates is
due to the steam roller tactics of the
neutrals and conservatives and the
strict suffragettes are exceedingly
worthy thereat.
