Remarks Of Mr.. Seidell on Fran.
chises, and Council Notes.

DR.. Hill at Council meeting Monday
night sailed into the newspapers and
for a few moments mixed things as
If he were the center rush on foot
ball team. The burden Of his talk
was that the newspapers have been
too flippant in dealing with public af.
fairs-especially relating to the present
financial stringency and the franchise
question. He suggested that they look
upon these questions with more SER
iousness and more contriteness OF
heart. In other words, the doctor
would have them mould their com.
ments in keeping with the serious side
of Council--not after the spasmodic
versatility of facts.
Mr.. Winum said, '"The newspapers
have been telling the truth about city
affairs, whether it fits the sentiments
Of Councilmen or not, and in this
think they are doing just right"
The most pathetic feature Of Mon
day nights Council meeting was Pres
ident Koons' act of refusing Mr.. Walk
er time in which to elaborate upon the
fact that he is employed by the N. o.
L. Co., but that his deliberations as a
Councilman are not controlled by his
employers. He was told that his re-
marks upon this subject were out Of
order.
Mr.. Seidell is in favor Of bringing the
N. o. Il. to time-whateve that may
mean. But 1t can't be done right
away" he said. 'aTime will come
when the N. o. T.. wants franchises
which will be more valuable to them
than the one we've just granted, then
we can impose more restrictions, For
instance, the franchise they'll soon be
wanting to enable them to connect the
Canton-Akron line with that on East

The daily morning Alaskan., 1901-04-25

The Evening News, in a lengthy ar
ticle under a scare head last night.
made lame attempt to prove that the
telegraphic information concerning the
loss of life in the vicinity of Nome by
freezing this winter published in the
Daily Alaskan some days ago and the
confirmation it published yesterday
morning were terrible fabrcations of
the truth. The article is ingeniously
written but upon examination shows
its own falsity.
The Geographic item referred to was
published on the morning OF the 18th
of this month. 1t stated that Clerk
Reed of Judge Noyes' court at Nome
arrived at Dawson the day before and
brought the news that about 200 peo-
pie had been frozen to death near
Nome this winter.
The Skagway News OF the same date
in Special timed at 3;15 p. NJ, from
Dawson said: Two mushers, names
unknown, who arrived yesterday from
Nome bring sensational reports of
wholesale death by freezing along the
coast. They report that 200 people have
died from exposure or freezing before
the middle OF January at various points
up and down tn coast"
Now one OF four things is true
First-The News did not receive the
above Special and "rehashed it from
the Alaskan.
Second-Other mushers arrived from
Nome on the same day as Messrs.
Reed and Dyer did and the iniorma-
ton published by the Alaskan and re-
iterated by the News was obtained
from some of them.
Third-That the Dawson CORES,
pondents of both papers lied
Fourth-That Mr.. Reed did make the
statement in Dawson that about 200
people had been frozen to death
For the sake of the news service Of
the evening paper, also, Of the Jour
nalistic profession the first cont ention
is here dismissed as untenable. 1t
will not be urged that the specials"
OF that paper are prepared in its offi'e
or that thy are ''rehashed."
AS to the second it will suffice to here
say that at the time mentioned or since
then no information has reached
here OF the arrival at Dawson on he
18th or any time near that date OF any
party from Nome except the one OF
which Mr.. Reed was member. II peo>
pie got into Dawson from Nome On

ground that it will materially interfere
with travel also that if the statement
gets abroad about smallpox at Sit'ia
the conclusion will be jumped at that
the disease is prevalent in Alaska, and
tourist travel especially will ne mater
tally affected
This is precisely the argument used
by local agent of steamship COM
pany that is soon to put on a palatal
tourist steamer and has always made
a bid for the tourist trade ia a re-
porter Of the Alaskan WedlA sday al. 'r.
noon. He very much "deprecates"
the publication of the smallpox item
because it might stop travel to Sitka,
port of call of one of his company's
boats.
The existence of smallpox in any
place has always been regarded by
newspapers as legitimate news, and the
reporter who gathered the facls about
the disease still so regards it, and in
his journalistic training, was never
taught to first find out wheth n the
publication of it would hurt travel and
tourist travel especially" or not. The
interests of the public at large should
be conserved although at lines the %

the date in question they must have de,
parted from the latter place about the
time Mr. Reed did. and it is altogether
probable he would have cone along
with them, for companionship is quite
acceptable on such long trip or he
would have met them somewhere on
the way. Ii any such party came out
it is extremely likely Mr.. Reed would
have known it and when lie rushed into
print yesterday he woull ave said 50.
That both correspondents lied,
is not at all likely, for both are honor
able gentlemen holding good Positions
in Dawson, and they would not sacri-
flee their Jobs and place their honors
under their feet by such Il 1agrant, pre-
meditated prevarication as the lepo,,
was, if Mr.. Reeds present conte ntion
be correct Without seeking to re sar-
castle it can here be stated that either
OF them in point of honor is the peer
Of the court clerk.
If the above analysis is correct, and
it is here given as such, then Mr.. Reed
while in Dawson did make the asser
tons concerning the loss of life which
were telegraphed to the two papers in
this city. No other deduction is pos
sible and the Alaskan stands pat
Now as to the local features of the
controversy Mr.. Reed while in the
ante-room of the Arctic Brotherhood
did state to an Alaskan representative
that about two hundred people had
frozen to death in the Nome country
this winter The reporter asked him
the second time about the probable
number of deaths and he again said
about two hundred, but he added that
the fatalities did not occur on airy par
ticular stampede or at any particular
time, but that the estimate was in the
aggregate and included all deaths from
freezing or exposure about Nome dur>
ing the winter.
The article said he was going to
Washington on official business and
this he admits in his much displayed
communication "over his own sigma
.ture" in the evening paper. 1t did not
state and no stretch Of the magma
ton of the man from homeland he
has good one-that the trip was ION
official business in connection with
Judge Noyes' troubles" as he SO flip
PANTY quotes. This is evidently what
is bothering the official and to ''wisen'
him just little it can be stated that the
article said his business was "presum-
ably connected with the disputed min
The daily morning Alaskan., 1901-04-25

Fred Stotko was killed at Dyea this
morning. The sad intelligence was
brought to this city by Councilman
John Laumeister and brother.
According to the details of the trag-
edy as related by Mr.. Laumeister, Mr..
Stotko was engeged in an effort to ex>
tricate a scow which had drifted I'M
der the old wharf of the Dyea- Klon-
dixie transportation company. There
was a sort OF brace or support sustain
ing the heavy timbers above in the
way and Mr.. Stotko started to cut it
out. He had not proceeded but a
short time when it gave way, precipi,
tating the timbers upon him. He
was struck heavily upon the left side
OF the head, and it is thought the neck
was disjointed. The blood flowed pro-
iusely from the injured mans mouth
and ears.
Mr.. Laumeister was short distance
away when the accident occurred, but
quickly came to Mr.. Stotko's assist,
ance The injured man was taken to
the house near by. 1t was about one
hour after the accident when he breath
ed his last, but from the time Mr.. Lau-
meister reached him to the moment
OF his death, he was unable to move a
muscle.
Judge Sehlbrede, who acts as coro-
ner went to Dyea late in the afternoon
and will take charge OF the body. He
will probably hold an inquest. He was
accompanied by DR.. Ransom. Both
went with Mr.. Laumeister and his
brother.
Mr.. Stotko leaves a wife and two
children, who are now in San Francis,
co. He has resided at Dyea for about
two years and was highly esteemed by
all who knew him. He was quite well
known in this city and his friends will
be grieved to know this sudden and
awful termination of his career. He
was about IS years of age.

turn here with the remains this morn

Receiver Alexander Mckenzie" and
it is dollars to doughnuts that he will
have some thing to say on this subject
before he goes away from the capital.
Mr.. Reed may be afraid anything said
on this score at this time might hurt
his "infooence" at headquarters For
the further enlightenment of the gen.
tleman it might be stated that for sew
eral months-almoSt since the close OF
navigation-there has been a persist
ent rumor i'll circulation here and i'll
Seattle that somebody would come out
from Nome and go to Washington City
to confer with the powers that be-
in Judge Noyes' interests. If any man
were to be sent out on such mission
who would be more likely to be chosen
than an officer OF the court? In view
of this the reporter humored his char
ity by making use of the word pre-,
sumaby."
Mr. Reed was not made to say in
yesterday mornings Alaskan anything
about the terrible scenes on the beach
where two hundred frozen bodies were
found or anywhere else. The article
in the evening paper reads as ii it were
prepared for the occasion.
Mr.. Dyer has no complaint to make
in the way he was treated in the article
to which Mr.. Reed takes such irothy
and laborious exceptions. He was
made to corroborate what Mr.. Reed
said regarding the deaths by freezing,
During Wednesday evening on two
separate occasions and each time in the
presence OF representative OF this
paper and reputable citizens OF this
place he put the probable number OF
casualties at 200. He believed it to
be the truth and so stated it and was so
quoted. When seen yesterday he dis
played no desire to hedge and reiter-
ated the statement He went further
and this has not been printed here
and declared that the papers at Nome
had published intelligence concerning
the freezing substantially as it had been
given here, Mr.. Reed to the contrary
Notwithstanding 1t is passing strange
that the two men could have resided in
Nome at the time the information was
given out in the papaers, travelled to-
gether many hundred miles subsequent
" and not discovered discrepancy in
their estimates Of the deaths until they
got to Skagway and after they had con
frmed the previous reports.
