Harry White, former mayor of Seattle, is at the head of the enterprise, which includes an application to congress during the coming session for government subsidy. The idea as outlined. is for the government to guarantee bonds of the proposed company, which is yet to be organized for the purpose, the promoters using the credit thus obtaned ;e raise funds for building the line. It is expected that Senator Sam Plies, of Washington, will father the scheme in congress and the assist of Senator Flint xill be invoked in addition to that of Senator George c.

Seattle, Nov. 2l-The fight in the convention over delegates started this afternoon when Price of Skagway introduced a resolution declaring for the election of three delegates. stating that it was evi- dent that no agreement could be reached on one. Immediately hall dozen were on the floor de- manding recognition. Nve. of Fairbanks, was recognized, and started the ball rolling bv aaclar- ing that Uniied States Deputy Marshal, meaning Iathfop, had no business coming to the convention with five proxies which he would cast in favor of perpetuating i'll office one of the judiciary.
 Hughes, of Fairbanks, denied tine charge, as did Lathrop. Nye then declared that Lathrop had a bunch of proxies which were to be used in favor of,any measure which would help Wickersham. 4 eau GUS of the divisions followed. try ing their best 10 reach an agree ment, but was failure. Fairbanks was unable to agree upon Johan- son by 13 votes, which were cast for Judge Hutchinson. The eau GUS was anything but harmonious. and after reporting to the conven- ton adjourned at noon in hopes of preventing further trouble. From one until two o'clock the delegates tried to get together, but the silua- tion was too badly strained.
 Reronvening afternoon Shepard, of Nome, offered an amendment to Prices resolution, declaring for one delegate, stating that one might be seated by congress, whereas three would be considered as q board and would probably be unable to agree upon needed legislation 10 be presented to congress. He de- clared that the Third division came into the convention politically di- yided over a candidate for the in dietary in that district. At men ton of this Hughes, Of Fairbanks, arose protesting and the chair man called Shepard down. Con- tinuing his speech Shepard said that ithe attitude of the delegates from the Third tended to the de basement and dragging down Of

 Ealiainc, oi seward, asked if Shepard would be willing to have one delegate selected from South eastern Alaska in the interest of harmony, but he refused saying that such action would be indi- eating the eleetiug before i, was neld.
 Price objected to this. saving that that as Southeastern Alaska WIS harmonious 1t would not be made the fighting ground or be drawn into the fight. and demand ed that as long as the delegates could not settle the trouble in the Third division, three delegates be elected
 Judge Hutchinson declared that III caucus he was no: allowed to vote his Gwn way, and clairned that the cauecs was praciicing gag law. je demanded that the con- yenticn rule that q delegate have the right tG vote proxies as he saw fiji. The proxy question was ruled ou; oi order.
 The convention, seeing no cliaue: oi settlement, deinanded vote OF -hepard's amendment, providing for one delegate, which was defeated and the Price motion, to elect thtce was adopted.
 Delegates from the First and Sec ond divisions ciaiH. tha; the whole trouble in the convention has been due to the division of the Third delegation over supporting Judge Wicker>ham, Many Nome fol- lowers oi Ryan state that they are perfectly willing to support Johan- -''ii bAb iVl tliC 4sACl tiidt Ilt fc pledged to H'ickersham.

VALDEZ. ALASKA, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER B
TheConventionIs Ended
Winds Up In A Scrap Over District Politics. Delegates Elected Details Of
 Tle Fight.

Seattle. Nov. 22-Thc delegate fight Is now at an end, having been settled by the election of three del- egates instead of one. The men selected were A. P. Swineiorl, of the First division, Richard S. Ryan of Nome and Omar J. Humphrey, of Panama. The Panama deiega- ton was unable at the caucus to agree upon any one name as can didate, so presented Johanson and Humphrey. The vote of the con vention was forty-two for Hum- plirey and iorty-one for Jobanson. The latter was defeated on account of the absence from that session of Jas. Lathrop. who held the proHies of Judge Wickersham and three others who were heretofore for Johanson. His reasons for remain ing away from the convention are unknown. Johanson personally could have boiled the unanimous vote of the convention except for the belief that he represented Wickersham, against whom the whole fight was directed.
 The chair made Il ruling that it was improper in the convention to discuss the judiciary, but the fight was so bitter that the delegates could not be kept under control. Hughes, of Fairbanks, leader of the Johanson forces, went down fight ing. He refused overtures from Wye of Fairbanks that Johanson b. withdrawn and a third delegate c from Fairbanks selected.
 This morning the platform was amended to read that earnings of the cable be expended on the bet torment of land lines as recon mended by Major Glassford, Gen. eral Greedy, General Williams and Major Richardson"

A New Broom sweeps clean.

Captain d. Ferrel Carr having re-
signed as Town Marshal, the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen have ap-
pointed Mr.. Claude Webb in his
stead, aDd "a new broom sweeps
clean.'
Marshal Webb has started out
right. He has already inpounded
q number of stray kogs, and has de-
claFed that lie will arrest every man
found drunk on the streets Of tbs
town or using pfofane or vulgar lany
guage in public.
This is as it should be. Aside from
the moral aspect of the case, we
have town ordinances and they
should be enforced-and the Town
Marshal is the one to enforce them.
We believe that if he is backed up
by the Mayor (and we think he will
be- and receives the proper encour-
agement and support from the gen
eral public, our new Marshal will
make good his words, and the quo
tation as to the new broom will, in
his case at least, prove a compli-
ment.
