CAPTAIN NEWTH
 PLEADS GUILTY
Whaling Master Gets Day in Jail and $25OO Fine for Ruin.
 ing Eskimo Girl.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Seattle, Jan. l6-Capt E.W. Newth, the Arctic whaling master, who was bound over at Nome to answer the charge of felony for criminal intimacy with an Eskimo girl on the high seas, pleaded guilty yesterday in the United States district court to lesser degree of crime for the offense and was sen fenced by Judge Hanford to serve one day in jail and to pay a fine of S25OO and the costs of the prosecution. Newth promptly paid the fine and went to jail, from which he was released this morning.
 Newth is one of the most notorious of the whaling masters whose offenses led to the dispatch of the revenue cutter Thetis to Boring sea last summer with special government agents to investigate. Newth has been in the north long time and many charges are made against him.

T. p. MURDOCH MISSING
 AEO THOUGHT TO BE DEAD
Man Who Had Narrow Escape from Drowning a Year Ago Disappears
 But Blankets Are Found.

T. P. Murdock left Knik five weeks ago on hunting trip and has not since been seen, but three weeks ago his blanket, and other articles carried by him were found on Eagle river, Tot far from Knik arm. It is believed that Murdock was drowned or frozen to death. The weather has been. very cold and it would have been impOsSi- ble for man to survive long unless well-equipped for camping.
 In the late summer of 1905 Murdock appeared at Knik nearly starved with an account of narrow escape from drowning by the capsizing of raft on which he and a man named Smith were coming down the Matanuska river. Above the mouth of the Chickaloon the raft upset and Smith was drowned. Murdock walked and crawled through the brush to Knik, without food except few fish he speared, which he claimed he ate raw because he had no means of making a fire. He and Smith had started on a prospecting trip.
 Murdock had been around Knik ever since he first came there. Last sum- mer he worked part of the time for O.. G. Herning.

Washington, D. C., Jan. A- The house committee on merchant marine and fisheries began an investigation to- day of the charges made by Prof. Elliott that the North American Com mcrcial Company has been leasing iIs sealing privileges in the Pribiloi isl andS; that it has been guilty of crooked dealing in various ways and has vio- lated the terms of it's lease. Elliott says the company has engaged in pelagic sealing, while the terms of its lease restrict it to sealing on the islands.
 Prof Elliott charges that Senator Elkins is stockholder in the North American Commercial Company and iS it's Washington representative. He asserts that through the influence of Elkins the company has been protected from investigation of it's unlawful pro- ceedings in the seal islands.

DEADLOCK IN
 RHODE ISLAND
AIdriCh Machine Unable to Elect Its Man for United States
 Senator.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Providence, Jan. l7-The first joint ballot in the legislature for the Rhode Island senatorship resulted in dead lock, which is likely to continue for several days. R. Fl. l. Goddard, Sam uel Colt and Senator George P. Wet more are the candidates, with strength in the order named.
 Goddard is believed to have the best chance, as he will get the entire demo' cratic strength whenever it will elect him. The republican machine is Ter Colt, who is the rich gun manufac- turer, having selected him to succeed Wetmore. It is believed that when ever Wetmore finds he cannot win he will throw his support as far as possi- ble to Goddard, in revenge for his turndown by the Aldrich machine.

CANADIAN FISHERIES
 WORTH S29,479,562

The annual report on Canadian fish, cries says the catch of fish for the sea- son is valued at $29, ,479,562, nearly as much as the total production of gold and coal in the Dominion during the same period. It exceeds the high record of the famous yield of 1905 by more than S4,OOO,OOO. The large in- crease is ascribed to the catch of sai- mon in British Columbia, which ex- ceeded that of the previous year by about $5, ,OOO,OOO.
 The lobster industry comes next In importance to the salmon, with it's aggregate value of $4,OOO,OOO, an ir- crease of $2l5,S47 over the previous years pack. Cod shows a falling off of nearly S25O,OOO. More than $l6,OOO, 900 worth of fish was exported to foreign counties, mostly to the United States, during the year.
 The industry employs 9S,9OS persons.

MOORE'S GIRDWOOD HOTEL
 BURNS WITH ALL CONTENTS
Occupied as Lodginghouse by rlacy and Watson Who Lose
 Everything

James M. Moore's building in Gird- wood, occupied as a lodginghouse by Mrs. Watson, burned few days ago with the contents. The cause of the fire is understood to have been an over heated stove which communicated fire to woodwork in the building. A small building adjoining was torn down to prevent spread of the fire. The ten- ants of the Moore building lost practic- ally everything. Mrs. Watson's loss is about $500.

OLD INDIAN NEAR KNIK
 FOUND FROZEN TO DEATH

Matanuska, an old Indian who had lived around Knik for many years, was found frozen to death a few miles from that place recently. Near by was heap of wood arranged for fire, and box of saturated matches. The old man had evidently attempted to build a camp fire and failed because his matches were wet. Finding that death was certain the stoical old h. dian sat down under tree, leaned his back against it, folded his arms and passed into unconsciousness. He was found in that position.
