E. Erickson Die* From Injuries Re
ceived When Boat Rolls and H«
Is Hit By Part of Cargo.
E. Erickson was killed and P. An
derson Injured on the Alaska Steam
ship Company freighter Seward when
hit by a piece of machinery which was
part of the cargo of the big boat and
was destined for Latouche. The
steamer was very light, having dis
charged almost all of her cargo and
was en route to Latouche from here
to take on ore. The sudden and ter
rific storm raging in the Sound
caused the boat to roll and the
freight to shift, and the two men
were engaged in fastening down the
loose pieces when caught by the three
ton mass of iron which crushed and
broke the leg of Erickson just below
Ills hip and also inflicted internal in
juries from which he died this morn
ing at the marine hospital.
Anderson is reported as not ser
iously injured and will be out in a
tew days.
Captain Johnson, Immediately after
the accident, which happened at six
o’clock last night, turned his ship for
V’aldez and reached here at midnight
and the men were immediately cared
for by the marine surgeon. Every
possible relief was given the men en
route to Valdez, but nothing could
have saved Erickson as his leg was
also cut off and he was severely in
jured internally.
Northwestern Here Tonight.
The steamer Northwestern reach
ed Cordova at noon and left the rail
road town at 3 o’clock and Is ex
pected here at 9 tonight. The North

EUROPEAN WAR
REACHES CRISIS
(Continued from page 1.)
be forced back by weight of num
bers and should retire into Belgium,
the allies would not gain by that fact,
as the French have been able to hold
their present positions only because
of the great French forts at Verdun,
Toul and the other big modern forts
on the border and around which the
beaten French army has been able to
re-form when driven back from the
attacks upon the German field forts.
Place Both Armies On Equal Footing.
The retirement into Belgium will
place both armies on an equal foot
ing, when the German army officers
say that they can beat the allies with
ease, as In almost every encounter in
the present war where the forces are
about equal the Germans have show
ed superior fighting ability over the
allies.
Hollander* Intuited By British.
ROTTERDAM, Oct. 3.—The Hol
landers are greatly enraged because
of the action of the British command
ers of the North Sea warships, who
ruthlessly search all ships flying the
flag of the Netherlands; take from
them German reserves, confiscate
many ships and cargoes and Insult the
captains when they protest. The ship
owners and commanders have made
a protest to the queen and have ask
ed for protection, but the crown is
“powerless to aid them, as England
Is determined at any cost to stop
Importations of foods or war sup
plies through Holland Into Germany.
Fear British Invasion.
Many people in Rotterdam fear that
Holland will be Involved In the war
within a month because of the oper
ations about Antwerp. Should Ger
man troops violate the neutrality of
the Netherlands without being op
posed by the Hollanders, the British
would take advantage of the oppor
tunity to land troops, blockade the
coast and declare war.

STARVING, HE HAD $10,050.
Aged Man Accepts Charity and Loses
His Wallet.
New York.—James A. Farvin, assist
ant station master ut the Pennsylvania
station, has lost his faith in human na
ture. Qe helped u supposedly starving
mnn and then found him possessed of
thousands of dollars.
The man was evidently exhausted
and ubout to collapse.
"Pve not had n bite to eat In two
days,” he murmured.
Having helped the old man to a seat,
Mr. Farvin rushed a porter away for
hot coffee and sandwiches. The old
man ate ravenously and wept as he
told his story.
The old man said his name was Uriah
Lane and on foot he had dragged him
self all the way from up state in an ef
fort to reach his son, whom he had not
seen since they parted at Sag Harbor
after a quarrel twenty years ago.
The 4:15 train for Sag Harbor was
nearly due. Deeply affected, Mr. Far
vin tried to cheer the old man up, paid
ids fare, $3.01, to Sag Harbor and gave
him the change from a five dollar bill.
Just afterward Mr. Farvin caught
sight of a wallet lying under the chair
on which the aged man lmd sat. Open
ing It, lie found the name Uriah Lane
on the flap. Inside were eight $l,0(K)
bills, crisp and clean; twenty $100 and
ten $5 bills—$10,050 In all.
When Mr. Farvin overtook the old
man he demanded to be repaid for the
sum already advanced. After much ar
gument the old man did so.
PLACID CHINESE WOMEN.
An lllu.tration of How Well Their
Emotions Are Hidden.
"Chinese women nre trained to show
no emotion, to appear absolutely plucid
under ail circumstances,” says Eliza
beth Cooper, author of “My I July of
the Chinese Courtyard." "I saw It il
lustrated ut a reception Riven to the
wife of one of the high Chinese offi
cials. All the women of the foreign
official colony were at my home, about
forty in number, and the great lady
was announced. Every one rose. The
room was a very long one, about sev
enty-five feet, and had a very highly
polished floor covered with Persian
rugs.
“The Chinese Indy came to the door
way, with a servant on each side of
her to help her walk upon her tiny
bound feet At the entrance they left
her, and she started to come to me;
but being almost helpless upon her
•golden lilies,’ she stepped upon a rug,
which slid upon the polished floor, and
Instead of swaying ‘like the bamboo in
the breeze’ as she came to me she sat
down suddenly and slid to my feet to
the consternation and horror of the as
sembled guests.
“She was raised to her feet and, al
though she must have been covered
with confusion and embarrassment
thus to make her first entrance Into a
foreign home, she gave her hand to me
without a trace of emotion visible In
her face or manner, nor did she apolo
gize. One would think by her appear
ance that It was the usual mode of en
trance Into a room."
All those wishing to enter the
shorthand class to he conducted by
Judge lirovvn will please report to
Miss Carnall or Mr. Davis, of the
high school, at once in order that
sufficient books may be ordered.
