EXlLES GET FREE.
Siberian Convicts Land in Alaska but
Are Not Wanted.

Are Not. Wanted.
Cordova, Alaska. July 19.-The st.
Croix has brought here 100 Russians,
part of the 300 landed at Nome by the
Russian steamer Vaarg and held up as
the result of a Nome mass meeting,
but finally landed when it was found
they had the necessary amount of
money. Cordova objects to their land
ing and they may be taken to Seattle.
Among the party are several who
are believed to be memt ers of the
band of political convicts who escaped
from penal colony in the interior of
Siberia several months ago and who on
June 20, were reported to be working
their way toward East cape, on the ex-
treme Eastern coast of Siberia in an
effort to cross the Behring straits and
reach America.
The men believed to be the escaped
convicts are wearing old Cossack uni
forms. These men have been keeping
their own counsel, refusing to COM
municate even with the other Russians
who came down from the North with
them.
The party reached Nome from ST.
IBERIA on the Russian steamer Vaarg.
After arriving in Nome the men re-
embarked on the steamer ST. Croix, and
came to this port, where they asked
for work in the construction camps of
the Copper River & Northwestern rail
road.
The uniforms worn by the men sup
posed to be the escaped political exiles
show very hard usage. 1t is believed
the clothes were taken from the guards
killed in the battle at Chupotosk, near
the Arctic circle last March, when the
convicts defeated a company of pursu-
ing Cossacks.
The Russians who came from Nome
on the same vessel with the suspected
men profess to know nothing of theii
identity, and share the belief that they
are the survivors of the band of exiles
who were fighting their way across l..
500 miles of Siberian waste.

New Members Are Being
Addec Continually to
the List.

New members are being continually
added to the Five Dollar Club and there
are now twenty eight names on the list
Interest in the club and this novel
method of raising funds for the joint
purposes OF the Associated Charities IN
this city is growing daily. The joint
committee of the Associated Charities.
the Citizens Relief Committee and the
Association for the Prevention OF Tu-
berculosis is bending every effort to
add to the treasury because Of the great
demand being maze upon 1t.
In speaking of the conditions under
which these organizations are working,
walter c. Clephane, the local attorney,
said this afternoon:
The more see of the methods pur-
sued by the Associated Charities, the
Citizens Relief Association, and the
Association for the Prevention of Tu-
bercuiosis, the more Thoroughly l am
convinced that nowhere is charitable
work better and more effectively ad-
ministered than in Washington" Mr..
Clephane speaks from a personal knowl-
edge of the work of these organiza-
tons. He thus sums up the philosophy
that an unworthy class OF our citizens
are supported in voluntary idleness by
the Associated Charities and it's col
leagues will be convinced by a little in
Vestigation that this Is precisely the
class to whom the organized charities
of the Dis riot of Columbia do not give
money. II is equally true that this is
lent of money through indiserirninate
private CHARITY
