CHANTLER DROPS DEAD
FROM HEART DISEASE
JUNEAU, March 15.—Alfred E.
Chantlcr, stenographer in the office
of Surveyor General Charles E.
Davidson, dropped dead yesterday
morning at 8:00 in his rooming house
from an attack of the heart. He was
21 years of age. He is survived by
his father, A. E. Chantler, a business
man of Tacoma, by his mother and a
sister residing in Tacoma. The re
mains will be sent to lacoma for
burial.
The young man arrived in Juneau
in February and began work at the
surveyor’s office February 10th. He
roomed with Mrs. L. P. Larson. While
standing by the stove yesterday, just
before starting to work, he remarked
that it was a great thing to sleep and
fell. Dr. William rallister was sum
moned, but the young man was al
ready dead.—Ex.
SWEDES PLAN TO MAKE SKA
GOING TRAINS V REALITY
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
STOCKHOLM, March 13.—Having
practically completed plans for a
railroad car ferry service between
Gothenburg, Sweden, and an English
North Sea port, presumably Imming
ham, the Swedish board of trade is
considering establishing a similar line
from Stockholm and Abo. Finland.
With the system in running order,
a car, or even a train, might make
the run from Vladivostok to Abo,
cross by boat from Abo to Stockholm,
go by rail from Stockholm to Gothen
burg, travel again by ferry from
Gothenburg to England and unload in
the latter country* for the first time.
The proposition is to run 10,000 ton
boats on the Anglo-Swedish line daily
in each direction.

WICKER SHAM IN
CONTROL OF THE FIRST
JUNEAU, March 12.—A combina
tion of the Wickersham and Shackle
ford forces have taken every primary
in the First division, according to ad
vices reaching the Dispatch office by
midnight.
Nome will probably haw a contest
ing delegation; Wickershamites are in
control of all the open primary dele
gat ions from the Fourth division,
where Senator Gaustad and Leroy
Tozier fused the Wiekersham-Shack
leford forces, and the many scattered
precincts in the Third division, torn
by factional fights make it impossible
to credit any strength to any parti
cular faction there.
The contest at Nome arises over
action of the territorial committee in
authorizing a second primary to select
sixty delegates from the Second divi
sion, when fifty delegates had already
been agreed upon by a harmonious
gathering of Seward Peninsula Re
publicans.
In the first division the decisive «e- j
feat of M. J. O’Connor, of Douglas, j
and John Rustgard, of Juneau is the
interesting feature Roth were op
posed to the program outlined for
uniting the Republican party at the
Seward convention.
Sitka, Skagway, Treadwell and
other precincts in the First division
sen*! harmonious delegations to the
convention.
The open caucus ticket headed by
Grover C. Winn completely snowed
the Rustgard ticket under at the pri
mary election yesterday. The low
est man on the Winn ticket with 510
votes leads John Rustgard, high man
on the Rustgard ticket by 425 votes.
There were 495 straight votes for the
ticket headed by Winn, and 61
straight votes for the Rustgard ticket
leaving 44 scratched votes. — Juneau
