A good sized crowd of ciirimes ones,
including most of the chcchaeko** who
are -paying the city a v.'si*. lietwcen

East End nijht before las1. The
dance was given ny tlie native-, of the
American Diomede Island and the Cape
Prince of Wale* district and Included
practically all the gyratory exercise?
j for which the local aborigines arc
|famed. The strange attitudes of the
I dancers, the eerie cries in imitation
of the calls of hunted animals, the
' resonant throb of the tomtoms and the
crooning melody of the singers, com
bined with the odiferous aroma of
overly aged seal oil. made the affair
one of great interest and amusement
to the visitors, many of whom respond
ed generously when the natives dis
played their business Instinct by pass

fashion.
An automobile accident at the corner
ot Steadman Avenue and Front street
caused considerable excitement in that
section shortly before seven o’clock
last evening. Machines driven by
Bernard Xeilly and Superintendent
Daniel Jones. of the Alaska Bond Com
mission. came into violent collisslon
while both were heading up Steadman
Avenue from Front Street. From the
stories told by tlie drivers, it appears
that both thought they could turn into
the narrow street at the same time.
They tried to do so with the result
that the machines came together with
a crash that caused considerable dam
age to the V- illy machine but resulted
in no injury to the occupants of either
ear. The rear end <>f the Xeilly ma
chine was badly smashed and one of
the axles was bent. The Bond Com
mission car sustained no material dam
age. Both drivers appear to be of the
j opinion that the other fellow was to
blame. According to eye witnesses,
both men appeared to be intent on
heating the other fellow to ilie turn.

where she is widely known as a journ
alist and writer of tales of travel and
adventure. In the course of her globe

visited practically every clime under
the sun and is the author of numerous
tales of travel in Africa and India.

as in India during the Durbar as
representative of the Ladies Pictorial
of London, a journal similar to our
own Ladies Home Journal, and one
of the most widely circulated of Eng
lish magazines. In 1013 Mrs Camer
on started on a 27,000 mile trip which
practically covered the entire southern
coast sections of Africa and portions
• >t the interior. The journey was made
alone and was filed with some of the
most thrilling experiences Imaginable.
At one time the intOrpid traveller found
herself among a cannnbalistie tribe,
but proceeded on her journey despite
•be knowledge that the men who were
showing her the way were not at all
adverse to serving her roasted or en
ragout. The guides talked ‘‘pidgin”
English and admitted in response to
her questions that they still ate human
flesh, "when they could get It.” "If
you were to eat me. where would you
begin?” she asked. "At the knuckles
and joints,” was the reply. At the
outbreak of the war, Mrs Cameron
was in Africa but hurried home Im
mediately and devoted herself to lied
Cross work during the war’ period.
Included among her numerous works
on travel are ‘‘A Woman's Winter in
Africa.” "A Dunbar Bride," "A Pas

Cameron expects to leave Nome on

almost irresistible longing to make her
way home l»y crossing Siberia.
Max Gottschalk, who gained much
notoriety a few years ago by getting
in bad with the Russians on the Siber
ian coast, was arrested Wednesday on
complaint of a business associate.
Theodore P. Skate, who charged that
Gottschalk is responsible for the pres
ence aboard the Russian trading
schooner Sabler of « a considerable
quantity of American Red Cross sup
plies, alleged to have come from Vlad
ivostok. Skate, who is an American,
is Interested in the Sabler trading
venture with Gottschalk and expresses
the opinion that the Red Cross goods
are stolen 'property. Following his
arrest Gottschalk was hailed before
.Commissioner O’Neill for hearing. The
hearing continued thruout the greater
part of the afternoon yesterday and
was renewed again at 2 p. m. today.
Gottschalk claimed on the witness
stand yesterday that he came by the
goods In a legitimate manner, having
purchased them from a certain Chinese
merchant at Vladivostok. He nls<|1
displayed a receipt for money signed |
with a Chinese signature which he
alleged was given him by the party
from whom he obtained the supplies.
A portion of the supplies seized as
evidence by the Marshal from the
schooner, which arrived from Siberia
a few days ago. was included among
the exhibits offered at the hearing.
The articles displayed cons!•’ted of
heavy wollen socks and sweaters, ap
parently hand made and of roosl’er
able value. Skate, the complainant,
avers that he did not know Mr? goods
were aboard the Sabler and also that
they have never been listed by Gotts
chalk among the trade goods carried.
The complaining wltne/w claims
Gottschalk was employed by the
American Red Cross at Vladivostok, as
warehouseman and hr.J the handling
ci large quantities of goods. Skate
says he was himse'f employe 1 by the
Red Cross organization in a different
capacity at the same place*. Skate is
apparently a man of education and:
