MICHIGAN BURIES
/
Amendment Swamped, No Vote
(for Females—Republicans
Claim State Victory.
Detroit, April 8.--Woman suf
frage. met a staggering defeat at
yesterday’s election in Michigan.
With only about one-third of the
voles counted the result stands
51,055 for and 92,011 against the
amendment, an adverse majority
of 11,589. Practically all these
re;turns are from the cities
which were expected to go against
the amendment, Ind the margin is
far loo large to be overcome by
l lie rural element.
Detroit’s majority id' - 22,000
against the amendment is nearly
twice that of last November. This
seems (o be due to lack of inter
est on mu; pari oi men wmrxmeu
for Ihe amendment before, the
total vote being about 34.000 less
than til the November election.
The opponents of suffrage, with
ari efficient organization, hacked
by both Democratic and Republi
can political machines, as well as
Ihe Brewers’ Association, got out
their Detroit voters while the suf
fragists stayed a home. It was
a case of campaign experience
versus lack of if.
It is reported that Ihe Brewers’
Association offered cash iiriz.es to
saloon men up-state for increas
ing- Ihe anti-suffrage vote in their
counties. The returns from the
country undoubtedly will greatly
reduce the apparent majority
against Ihe women. The had
roads prevented thousands of
farmers lnun voting, thus cut
ting down Ihe women’s vote.
The recent outrages of Ihe Kng
lish militants had something to
do with Ihe result in Del roil, Ihe
opponents of suffrage making ex
cellent capital of these incidents.
In Detroit, with 12 districts
missing. Ihe vole is 45.475
against suffrage and 17.177 for it.
a majority of 28,298. In Lite No
vember election the total vote was
about 9(5,000, divided 5 4.000 to
42,000. The returns from the
other counties are so incomplete
that a comparison cannot be
made.
All of the other constitution
al amendments voted on at yes
terday's election, including the
initiative, referendum and recall,
carried by good majorities.
Immigration Tide Swells.
New York, April 22.—The an
nual tide of immigration at this
port is again approaching the
flood mark reached in years pre
ceding the financial panic of 1907.
according to figures contained in
a quarterly re.porf issued today by
Health Officer O'Connell.
There were 312,703 persons of
all classes inspected at Ellis is
land in the first three months of
this year. This is an increase of
nearly 52,000 over the corres
ponding period or 1912. The
number of third-class passengers
was nearly 100,000, an increase of
about 11,500.

An iffloo has been started in all

and it is now proposed to estab

town.

MILITARY CARLE DOWN AND OUT;
BURNSIDE IN SEATTLE DRY DOCK;
CANADIAN LINE OUT AT WHITEHORSE
Alaska has cut louse from the
United States and will go il alone.
The last connecting link, via the
Canadian line, has been severed
near Hazleton and we are depend
enl upon I lie news we received
lale last night, before the line
went out. and our scisors (thank
Cod no one stole the scisors or
you would gel no paper).
The seventy-two would-be suc
cessors to Marshal Sullivan, who
have been wiring to Woodrow
Wilson every day to know why
they were not appointed, are now
sutl'eriiijLj from nervous pros (ra
tion, but are expected to recover.
Dan Wilsey says that when the
line is up the tirst news will be
the appointment of Robert Fergu
son. Dowling, however, still
smiles.
We started in to tell you about
the cable. Well, it's rotten; get
that ; il, breaks every so often or
more (frequenter)—that’s a good
word even if it. is not in the dic
I iouary.
Somebody started the story
that the Japanese had cut the
line and would lake the million
billions of coal lands in Alaska,
now being gobbled by the Gug
genheim's, but we don’t, believe it.
.Let’s gel back to the cable.
Every time it goes mil the boys
al the cable office have a picnic
and the c'ashier writes letters to
his wife. That’s the only time
lie writes Jo her--when lie can
not send a night message.
I)id yon ever hear about Hie
Hnrnside? We stole her from
Hie Spaniards and also nabbed
the Philippines, and we will keep
the latter until we find some one
who will lake them off our bands,
and the .Japs will do it if the Na
tive Sons don't look out. You
know that Hnrnside is out of
commission whenever the cable is
down, leading to the suspicion
that she is down and out all the
time.—ami that’s no joke.
The Canadian sock us like the
Old Nick for a little press report
and we are gUAl the d—n thing
is down.
If the line is out tomorrow we
will write a long story about ,a
kill gloved resident ofMhis city,
who should be exposed. .
Think of all the reports of the
O'Hara committee which Stamm
will forget to send us when the
line opens. We received a little
report from Cos Angeles last
night and it is a wonder they let
;t nass in Canada, where they are
rather strict about such matters.
Dues anybody know where Red
is? We want to locale him and
lie failed lo give us his address.
Frost will start that railroad
now to keep his promise to the
Chicago jury. He said if acquit
ted he would immediately start
construction, but the price of lots
in the westward town- have not
raised. John Ballaine owns most
of them anyway.
The price of lots at Hazletville
should take a jump now that
j prosperity lias hit Valdez. A lo
cal firm of attorneys spring it
!every lime we have things going
! right.
j The arrangements for the big
! smoker have been completed.
Someone said that Col. O’Neil
j was to be transferred to Haines,
i but we can't afford to lose the
| Colonel. He is all right and we
: need him in this section.
' Let us tell you some more
; about that Canadian line: It
j would break Roockefeller to run
a newspaper in Alaska and get his
news from the states via the Ca
nuk route. Alaska newspapers
are expected l<T pay a king’s ran
som every time the cable line
goes out.
Why don't we gel our news via
the Whit shed wireless station?
We would if we could, but, the ae
rial was out of commission until
this morning. That big wind put
it out of commission, and now
that it is up it is worthless, as
they cannot reach Seattle from
Sitka.
The Wednesday Club met yes
terday and had a line time.
When the Alaska Times starts
at Mordova Adams can gel what
he wants printed, and it won't
cost him ten cents a line, either.
Morgen has cut loose from his
wad and is having the interior
of the sausage factory repainted.
Lieut. Prosser always goes
awa; when the cable is about to
fall to pieces, lie must know it s
coming.
It takes four men, seven horses
and a lot of swearing to deliver
a ton of coal in this town when
the snow is soft.
The cable is up to Juneau, but
the legislators are on a strike, at
any rate we have not received
news from the capital for several
days. The legislators passed a
law that all members should be
examined as to their fitness to
hold their present jobs and no
body passed.
The town is out of gasoline,
but not out of gas.
(iood-night.

AUTO HORNS
French Judge Says Law Requires
- Single Note, Grave, Even
Sinister.
Paris, April 2il.—The musical
automobile horns which threat
ened tu fill the main streets of
Paris with snatches of popular
or classical airs instead of the
usual “honk, honk’ have come
lo a quick tinish in France.
A test case was brought against
two motorists of Douai, who en
livened the night trumpeting the
leitmotiv of "Die Walkure,” and
i| has been decided, that these in
struments are illegal here. The
decisiorf brought out a judicial
definition of the word “horn,”
which had hitherto been rather
widely interpreted.
“The latter,” said the judge.,
inusi ue lor me purpose 01
sounding an alarm and be used to
warn the public, not to amuse il.
H 'inusi give forth a single note
which should be grave, even sin
ister, in prder to call attention
to,the impending danger.”
“The new fanfare horns," add
ed the judge, “lack seriousness,
and are therefore outside the
meaning of the act."

Found Near Point Barrow and
Built Many Years Ago—
Curios Unearthed.
A house or habitation built by
human brings ages ago, with
stone ute’nsils, stone knives and
axes, was found last summer in
the vicinity of Point Barrow,
Alaska, according to A. L. Max
well, a government teacher.
Mr. Maxwell and three while
men from Point Barrow, while
prospecting along the beach of
Bering sea, in July, discovered a
high cliff of gravel. Ihe strata of
which, il .was decided, had been
piled up in that lofty way by ice
bergs.
At a point where Ihe action of
the wav.es had washed away grav
el. the framework of a primitive
IPUISe was UHCoVercil. I III* !("
markable dwelling was well pre
served in (lie gravel. The roof
was made of I lie ribs of an im
mense whale or some mammoth
beast long extinct. The ribs, from
20 to 30 feet long, were set to a
center column of rocks, after the
fashion of an umprella. Over this
framework skins had evidently
been stretched. The gravel was
washed away so gradually that
many of the ribs had scarcely
moved.
Convinced of tin* primitive na
ture of l lie dwelling because of
the fact that there are no such
bones seen anywhere in the nor
thern tundra, the men began dig
ging to see what lay on the floor,
and were successful in unearth
ing a stone hatchet weighing 27
j pounds, a stone knife, or skin
|ning knife, fashioned like the
modern draw-knile of the wood
worker, and a dodoka. or boat
bailer, a rock shaped like a
t rough.
Tin* utensils and tools were
carried back to Point Harrow'.
