Alaskans in Capital Oppose Pro
vision Requiring Year’s Resi
dence for Voters
By Cable to*Tbe Dally Gateway.
Washington, I). C., Feb. f» Alaskans
in tlit* capital object to the provisions
of the Nelson bill providing for a dele
gate from Alaska which requires a
residence of one year in the district as
a qualification for votes. Theysuggest
that the rapid growth of the territory
makes advisable that a shorter resi
dence hi’ required in order to allow the
franchise to men who may have been
in the territory only a few months but
who have gone there to become bona
tide residents.
Congressman Su!nor ha- Hooped to
the support of the iseIson bill, giving
up his own. Cushman is still trying to
preserve the integrity of his bill and
will try to substitute it for the Nelson

DYNAMITE KILLS
ANOTHER VICTIM
William Johnson was instantly killed
j and his body carried 125 feet by a
j dynamite explosion near tunnel ;> on
j mile ;*>;» of the railroad Saturday after- j
| noon, lie was alone and when men
! went to the scene attracked by the
detonation they found the dead body of
the victim in the blacksmith’s tent
through which it had fallen after its
flight from theexplosion. It must have
been carried high in the air.
Johnson was powderman for Ueese &
Company, station men. Soon after
lunch ho went to the powder house a
short distance from the camp to get
some powder. He had barely had time
to reach the spot when the explosion
was heard. Apparently he had just
entered the powder house.
Only a little more than a 50-pound
box of powder was in the house. Had
there been a large quantity the man
would have been blown to fragments.
As it was his legs were badly mutilated
but his body and head were almost un
marked. A peculiar fact is that the
body was carried more than forty yards
over a knoll and through trees and by
its weight pulled loose the rope which
held one corner of the tent, falling in
side. The man was undoubted killed
instantly. It is supposed the powder
had been heated and the draft of fresh
tyr caused the explosion.
Johnson came to Seward on the
Valencia in August. His home was in
Sweden.
Mrs. Miller Gets More Dad News
Mrs. Mat Miller, whose husband lost
his life on the upper tide flats last
month while trying to cross to the
other side of the bay. received a letter
on the Bertha informing her that her
house in Morrissey, B. l’. had been
burned. She and her husband came
from that place in December and she
was intending to return on the Bertha.
When she learned of the loss of her
house she decided to stop in Valdez
instead, as she has friends there.
William Claysum came home on the
Bertha from a somewhat prolonged
visit to the outside and in Skagway.
