Candidate for Alaska legislature
PLACER LAW
I favor a repeal of the existing placer
law passed by the last legislature and be
lieve the legislature should get as much
information as possible from the prospect
ors of Alaska relative to mining legislation.
ELECTION LAW.
I favor the enactment of a lawful and
proper election law; one that will meet
with the approval of the people of this
district.
LABOR.
I favor the passage of proper legisla
tion conducive to the prosperity and hap
piness of the laboring man, and, therefore,
I favor a repeal of the present eight-hour
law. I believe laboring men have a legal
and moral right to form trades unions for
the purpose of peaceably assuring concert
ed action in behalf of those things to which
they are entitled and which, without or
ganization, individuals cannot obtain.
I advocate and defend the right of work
ers of every branch of activity to organize
for the purpose of securing shorter hours
and increased wages.
I favor the enactment of a law making
it a felony to participate In any combina
tion or conspiracy to blacklist employees.
I also favor an employer’s liability act,
as well as safety appliance legislation to
protect the limbs, lives and health of the
workers.
CANNERIES.
I believe a law should be enacted and a
tax levied on the canneries and their pro
duction—a law that would compel the can
nery interests to pay.
DEVELOPMENT.
I favor the immediate development of
all the resources of Alaska and especially
this district, and believe the control should
be left to the people of Alaska and demand
that our coal, timber, oil and all other re
sources be opened for entry.
UNJUST LEGISLATION.
I am opposed to unjust and oppressive
sumptuary' legislation which lntereferes
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which I am pledged.

The members of the floating court

Signed by all of the members of the

The address to the captain and of
ficers is as follows:
“Upon the conclusion of the fifth
annual voyage of the Floating Court,
covering a distance of more than four
thousand miles, the undersigned,
members of said court, desire to ex-1
press to you their sincere apprecia
tion of the many courtesies extended
to them. Through perilous straits,
between treacherous reefs, upon tides
raising and falling over forty feet,
with swift and dangerous currents,
with few or no lights or other aids
to navigation, you have steered the
good ship McCulloch, through temp*
est and storm, safely back to the
quiet and peaceful harbor of Valdez.
“To your able seamanship, untiring
vigilance, prudent and careful man
agement they owe their safe return
from an eventful and wonderful voy
age and they will ever be proud to
remember the famous ship McCulloch
and its splendid crew of American
sailors.

SENATORS INSIST
U. S. BUY SRIPS
Would Have Government Take Over
German Vessels In Spite of Op
position of the Allies.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Many
members of the Senate favor the
government insisting that the United
States has the right to phi-chase the
German ships now in America and
use them for the freighting of the
food supplies from this country to
Europe.
Senators Would Defy Allies.
The senators favor the State de
partment sending a reply to France
and England that the United States
will insist that we have that right
and will back it up with a force of
arms if we are interfered with.
France and England have protest
ed against the purchase of the gov
ernment ships now in New York.
Boston and other Atlantic and Paci
fic ports.
Purchase Would Be In Good Faith.
The senators say that if the ships
are purchased by the United States
government it is a guarantee that the
sale is bona fide and in good faith
and not for the purpose of saving
the vessels from capture by the al
lies.
French and English Will Oppose the
Purchase.
It is understood that the French
and English will insist that the rules
of the London convention, of Feb
ruary 26, 1909, shall govern the trans
fer of ships. The convention held
that no transfer could be made after
a declaration of war of ships of a
belligerent power to a neutral power.
Favor Using Warships As Freighters.
Some senators urged the sending
of American warships to Europe as
freighters, but the Navy department
pointed out that the vessels could
only hold from 150 to 500 tons of
freight and that only in packages
small enough to be placed in the
magazines of the warships. The ves
sels would have to cross the ocean
unprepared for trouble, as they would
not be able to have magazines, bunk
ers and the commissary filled and
have any room left for freight.
German Boats Worthless As Freight
ers.
The same objection is raised to
the purchase of the German fast pas
senger ships, which are all express
boats and can carry but little freight,
and that the United States should
concern itself more with the move
ment of grain and other foods than
with the purchase of ships for pas
senger service, which would require
months to alter into freighters.
SMITH SHOT
FROM BEHIND
Winans Returns After Making Exam- j
ination—Death Was Instantaneous
—Body Dragged In Brush.
Dr. C. A. Winans returned yester
day front Tazlina, where he went to
make an examination of the body of
John Smith, found on August 13th
near the foot of the Tazlina hill on
the government road to Fairbanks.
Smith had been shot through the
head from behind, the bullet coming
out through the forehead.
iThe body had evidently been drag
ged from the road about fifty feet
into the brush and covered with sod
and brush. Death had been instan
taneous.
Smith was an Austrian and was on
his way from Fairbanks to the coast
when shot down. As far as the au
thorities knew he was traveling alone
when killed.
