other trust heads, advising the
retention by them of Attorney
Lauterbach, the noted New York

the anti-corporation legislation
planned by the) members of con-'
gress.

made the admission and looked
the members of the Senate com

ey from the' trust liaad and re
fused to give the names of the
people tie was working for, if any.

First Break in flunks—Says Will
Fight in Senate and Col
leagues Plead in Vain.
Washington, 1>. C„ July o.—
Senator Gilbert M. llilelieock
Nebraska, is the first member of
the Democratic party to break
from the caucus of the members
and has announced that he will
light the present plans of the ma
jority and hopes by aiding the
Republican members of the upper
house to defeat the Wilson-Un
derwood tariff measure in such
items as he disagrees with his
fellow members.
The break came after the de
feat by the caucus of the grad
uated income lax on tobacco,
which is a pet scheme of the
western senator. He planned to
make the tax so prohibitive that
after a corporation sold or man
ufactured a certain hmount of
thd tobacoc industry the heavy
tax would take away all profit,
thus keeping the trust from
growing.
Senator after senator plead
with the Nebraskan to have him
remain with his party. Some
threatened that he would receive
no patronage from President
Wilson and others offered juicy
political plums to him if he
vwiuid not cause a break in the
party lines, which are very close
in the upper house, but all in
vain
The members of the party hope
to pass a resolution today bind
ing all members of the party to
vote for such measures as are
passed by the majority at a cau
cus and hope thus to force the
sugar tariff and wool tariff men
into line and prevent any more
desertions.
Ernie, tpe wonderful back stop
of the famous Valdez base ball
team that defeated all comers the
past four years, .came up. last'
night from Landlock bay, where
he was employed on the Dickey
property.

Dill CREVASSE
John eKIly Remains in loe Sox
for Forty Minutes—Rescued
by His Partners.
*• r * . t ‘
John Kelly, who has been work
ing for the Cameron-Johnson
company, was nearly frozen to
death last night when he fell
through the snow down a cre
vasse of Columbia glacier,
dropping seventy-five feet and re
luaining at the bottom of the ice
box for 40 minutes. He wras pull
ed out by his partners dripping
wet from the water dropping
down and spraying him as he lay
ill the bottom of the glacier
crack.
The men from the mine who
wanted lo come to Valdez to cele
brate the Fourth were strung out
along the glacier, following the
usual trail, stepping in one an
other's footprints, when Kelly
suddenly disappeared with a
shout.
lln* men nearest immediately
ran to his ■assistance, but were
unable to help him, as the cre
vasse was 75 feet deep and the
party were crossing n^ithoul a
rope. John Johnson, who was
one of the party, had noticdd a
long piece of rope cached about
a mile back, and he started out
on the run for the rope, while
John Paulson started for the fopt
of the glacier for rope,, which was
left there when the outfit was
taken in. Johnson returned first,
puffing like a porpoise, as he had
made file distance at his best
speed, but brought the rope, and
Kelly, who was shivering and wet
lo the skin and almost numbed
willi the cold, was hauled tod.he
surface1 by the parly. lie was
helped across the glacier and
brought lo Valdez and is suf
fering from a dislocated shoul
der, received when he bumped the
sides of the crevasse.
The snow covered the deep
crevasse, making it impossible
for the men to know that a cre
vasse was beneath and several of
the men had already passed ov
er when Kelly dropped. The trip
across the glacier at this time is
very dangerous as snow still cov
ers the cracks and it is not
strong enough to bear the weight
of a man.
The party leaving I he mine
consisted of John Kelly, John
Johnson, Pete Malcolm, Chief
Paulson, H. L. Rider and Bruce
Rider, E. M. McDonald, Pete Lay
ton and Jeff Dowling.
