WENT TO JAIL FOR
FRAUD AND FOUND $*s000
(Special to Gateway by United Pres*)
WARREN, Pa., April 10. — Ten
months ago Martin Nelson was so
hard up that ho didn’t care how he got
money. Shortly afterwards he was
convicted of obtaining it under false
pretences and was sent to jail for
.six months. The publicity caused by
his arrest led to his discovery by
friends who had good news for him.
Today Nelson was otT for his old
home in Denmark to claim a legacy of j
$6,000. Had he never been sent to j
jail probably he never would have
heard of the legacy. So at least, the
Danish Consul declared. He said that
he had been seeking Nelson for five
years. The newspaper clipping tell
ing of Nelson’s arrest and imprison
ment in the Warren County jail was
the first trace he got of him.

House of Representatives, U. S.
Washington, D. C., March 11, 1916.
A. J. Wendler, President,
Anchorage Chammer of Commerce,
Anchorage, Alaska:
My Dear Sir:
1 am just now in receipt of a reso
lution passed by the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce on February
16th, urging the government to ad
vance the wages of the men on the
railroad to fifty cents an hour. I
have already been to see Mr. Lane
and the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission about this amtter, and am
doing what I can to secure that ad
vance. It is my judgment that the
men ought to have at least that much,
and I will certainly do what I can to
assist them in securing it.
Very truly yours,
JAMES -WICKERSHAM,
Delegate from Alaska.

WILSON AND L. Y. SHERMAN
FAVORITES IN ILLINOIS
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
SPRINGFIELD, 111., April 11.—
With only two candidates in the field:
Woodrow Wilson on the Democratic
ticket and Lawrence Y. Sherman, Il
linois’ favorite son, to head the Re
publican party, the first Illinois presi
dential preference primary is being
held today.
Because there are no bitter con
tests, leaders declare the strength of
their respective parties will hardly
be indicated by the results.
There are a few districts however,
[where Republican and Progressive
aspirants to the convention have filed
“nc preference" petitions, where a
heavy vote is expected.
Because all these fights are being
waged in the Republican ranks, demo
cratic politicians declare their op
ponents’ vote will be considerably
larger than that of the democrats and
emphasize that the vote today will not
indicate the returns of the president
ial election Nov. 7.
The Republicans say they expect a
200,000 plurality here this year.
1 Under normal conditions this state is
Republican with a plurality of 100,- j
000.
The state and county primaries will
be held Sept. 13.
