BLIZZARD AT NOME
Some Demonstrations of the Real

Nome, Jan, Il via Seattle, March 3D.
A severe blizzard began yesterday after
noon and all last night it shrieked and
hOwled through Nome, blowing the loose
snow into huge drifts on the streets and
sidewalks. This morning the early water

pressed purpose Of collecting some
money which he claimed had been
owing TO him for three years. The ex-
act amount of the money is not known
by the officers, nor have they learned
whether he was successful in his ef
forts. It is believed, however, that he
collected at least a part of the money
owing him, and, returning to the
springs late in the afternoon, concealed
it in his grip.
The fact that he had made the trip
to that ward for the stated purpose
was noised through the neighbOrhood,
and it was generally believed that he
had a sum of money in his room. The
police officers, working on this clue,
are using every effort 20 learn the eX-
act facts in the case. and, If possible,
discover just how much money the man
had at the time of his making the trip
to Ensign peak from which he never
returned.
Young Woodward was taken to the
Office of the chief of police last night
and put through a series of Cross-Ques-
tionings which brought to light num-
bers of facts that have never before
been told. He was also confronted with
the articles which were found near the
tomb on Easter morning and positively

ing apparel as belonging to his dead
friend. The charred and burnt rem
nants of clothing that were discovered
yesterday morning at o'clock burning
in a vacant lot at Eighth South and
Main streets were also shown to the
boy. He failed in the Identification Of
the clothing. but declared that the
sleeve of a flannel shirt which had al
most been consumed by the flames re-
sembled both in texture and in color
the one worn by Collins Sunday. when
last seen by him.
The boy identified the purse which
was found near the cavern in which
Collins body was discovered, but de-
clared when he saw it on Sunday it
was not torn nor was there any hole
in it. The suspenders that We're found
in the tomb and were one Of the few
articles that were discovered behind
the pile Of rocks were at once recog-
nized by the boy. The shoes were also
recognized by young Woodward but
the other articles that were found in
the southern part Of the city are
thought to have no connection with the
taking away Of the old man.

THE RANCOR
OF FORMER DAYS
May Be Revived, Say Southern
ers, by Crumpacker Bill.
ERA OF GOOD FEELING NOW
MAY BE DISTURBED BY LOWER
ING REPRESENTATION.
ERA OF GOOD FEELING NOW

WASHINGTON, March 3l-The
w house today began consideration
of the sundry civil approDria-
ton bill. completing the general debate
before the close of the session. Little
Of the speechmaking today was peril
nent to the bill Messrs. Williams Of
Mississippi Pou of North Carolina and
spight of Mississippi spoke on the pro-
posed investigation Of the southern
franchise question.
Mr. Bell of Colorado discussed the
financial bills before the house. He
declared that as deliberate body the
house of representatives had ceased to
exist. 1t was absolutely controlled now.
he said, by a few men, and the greatest
trust in the country today was the
legislative trust
Mr. Bel then branChed off into a
discussion of the financial bills be-
fore the house He was especially Sc
we're in his criticisms of the banking
bill. which. he said. proved that the
national banks are fair weather in
stitutiOns, and could not stand the
stress of financial storms.
Mr.. Spight of Mississippi and Mr..
Pou Of North Carolina spoke on the
question Of the disfranchisement of the
negro i'm the south. The former. ap-
pealed to the Republicans not to dis
tuTb the era Of good feeling fnaugurated
by the late President Mckinley. and
Mr.. POu, after describing the manner
in which 900 negroes had been indicted
into Office in North Carolina between
1894 and 1899, through a coalition be-
tween the Republicans and PODulists,
said that the Democrats, again having
secured control. proceeded to disfran-
ehise as many negroes as possible.
If our representation is to be re-
duced for that" said he. I'VE are will
ing TO submit to il. There is not a
member from North Carolina who
would not prefer to sacrifice his seat
here than go back to the conditions
that existed prior to 1900"
Mr.. POu called attention to the reso-
luton he introduced to investigate the
alleged campaign corruption funds
raised in the north. If election laws
were to be investigated in the south.
he said, he saw no reason why the
corruption Of the ballot in the north
also should not be investigated.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi discussed
the question of Chimes. exclusion from
a philosophical standpoint He insisted
mat the Chinese problem on the Pa
eihc coast was Insignificant, compared
with the negro problem in the south.
The south had always stood with the
people OF the Pacific coast against the
invasion Of the Mongolians, but when
the south needed help it received none.
Mr.. Williams defended the franchise
provision of the Mississippi constitu-
ton. General debate was then closed
Mr.. Payne, chairman of the committee
on ways and means, reported the Gu
ban reciprocity bin, and gave notice
that he would call it up a week from

THOROUGH SEARCH MADE.
Cave and Vicinity Give No Further
Evidence.

Cave and Vicinity Give No Further
Evidence.
The foothills and ravines for more
than a mile each way from HeTs
hollow were a scene Of unusual activity
from early morning until late after
neon yesterday. Almost every foot OF
ground that would afford a hiding place
Tor anything that might be evidence in
the case was thoroughly searched, but
nothing that threw any light on the
mystery was found. Boys and men by
the score scampered over the hills
searching every cave and nook.
At early day officer Roberts went to
the cave and with a shovel dug out the
dirt in search of the weapon with
which the fatal cut was inflicted Ev-
cry portion Of the cave was thoroughly
searched, but no sign OF any weapon
was discovered. Nothing was discov-
cred except a notebook that proved to
belong to a boy who had lighted it
and thrown it in to light up the cave.
Later in the morning Assistant Coun-
" Attorney LoOfbourOw appeared and
took several samples Of the blood
soaked dirt and some of the blOod-cov-
cred rocks at the mouth of the cave,
to use as evidence at the inquest
In the meantime the ravine from
mouth TO head was thoroughly searched
by police officers. but the quest was
fruitless. Some boys found rocks sew
eral hundred yards above the cave
that appeared to be blOod-covered, but
when taken to DR.. Mayo the reddish
substance proved to be iron stain.
Sheriff NaylOr and Deputy Raleigh
went to the scene with Clyde Felt and
had the boy retrace the steps of him
self and Collins on the day of the lat
ter's disappearance, as nearly as pos
sible. From the peak the officers
searched all the intervening hills to
the grave, but not even a fragment of
the clothes was found.
After the officers had left some
boys who were exploring a cave below
the grave found what they thought
were blood stains and Sheriff Naylor
made a hurried run to the scene, but
found that more iron stains had caused
a false alarm.
The officers are confident that the
clothes and belongings OF Collins are
somewhere near the place where his
body was found, and Sheriff Naylor
believes they are at the bottom of a
deep spring found in a cave below the
grave. He intends to drag the bottom
of the spring this morning with Crap
ping hooks.

PROUTY OUTLINES ACTION

CHICAGO, March Silt is the pur-
pose Of the interstate commerce
commission to employ every
means within its power to secure an
absolute observance Of the provisions
Of the interstate commerce act, The
commission is not going to cease work
because injunction suits have been be-
gun with the same end in view.
This announcement was made tonight
by Commissioner Charles a. Prouty
preliminary to the investigation which
viii be conducted here. beginning to-
morrow. Asked what the commission
expected 30 discover and what would
likely be the outcome, provided evil
dence Of late infracti0ns Of the law de-
Veloped, Mr.. PrOuty said:
we must first ascertain what is and
has been done, and then determine
what action is advisable under the cir
cumstanCes as they may develop. The
fact that the department of justice is
proceeding by another means would
not prevent our taking the initiative
IN instituting criminal proceedings
should the facts be disclosed by the
evidence warrant such action.
Statements Are Untruthful.
Upon former Investigations railroad
officials have told US that secret prac-
tees have been abandoned and the law
observed. Despite this fact, one rail-
road had on file with the commission
for some time a tariff Of AZ cents on
packing house products from the Mis-
souri, river to the seaboard and it was
not met openly by any other road.
Now, we would like to learn how il
was that the other lines managed to
get business upon a tariff of 4S cents
when the road in question was carry
ing il for a cents?"
Commissioner PTouty said another
purpose of the hearing was TO take
steps to compel the railroads to publish
their export shipments. This is a rad
zeal departure, although some of the
roads at times have filed reports on
grain and grain products. In general,
however, railroad officials and attor-
neys claim that the law cannot compel
them to publish export tariffs, and a
battle is to be made on this point
The reason for the fight is that rail-
roads have been making higher domes-
tic rates on packing house products and
grain and then cutting the rate by
taking care Of everything as export
