DIED TRYING TO SAVE WIFE

ST. PAUL. April 2O.-ln vain attempt 10 save the life of his wife, who had become overcome by gas ill her bathroom, John 0. DalZell. general passenger agent of the North ern Pacific railroad in Spokane and until two months ago assistant land commissioner of the St. Paul, lost his own life Tuesday.
 According to a telegram received ill St Paul. the bodies of both MT. and Mrs. Dalzell were found just out side the bath room when a son, aided by neighbors, forced an en- trance into the home yesterday morn ing.
 The dispatches received at the Northern Pacific general offices are meager They say. however, that MT Dalzell rushed to the door and broke it down, but was forced back by the fumes of gas which were escaping from heating stove.
 He made second attempt. and picking up his wife. tried to hurry from the room. At the door he fell and both lay there all night young daughter in the house was affected by the gas and could not help them It was through her that the details were learned
 A son. l7 years old. left St. Paul few days ago to go to his parents home. When he arrived there yes terday he was unable to arouse any body, and he called the neighborS to help him. MT. and Mrs. DalZell had evidently been dead several hours when their bodies were found.
 Mir. Dalzell was one of the best known and best liked of the general officers of the Northern Pacific. Start ing in the traffic department many years ago, he worked himself up. becoming agent at Moorhead, travel ing agent. general freight agent at Duluth and assistant general freight agent in the St. Paul offices.

AVIATOR WOULD FLY
 HERE

That some of the aviatOrS on the Outside are looking on Alaska as a favorable field of endeavOr is indi- cated by q letter received by John A. Clark in the last mail. The letter is self-eXplanatory;
 Seattle. Wash. May l, 1911. Sec. Chamber of Commerce. Fair
 banks. Alaska.
 Dear Sir Will you kindly advise me by first possible mail or wire as to the possibility and advis- ability of an aviation meet in your city early in June with Fred J. WiSeman. the famous aviator, ill d Curtiss- s-Farnham-Wright biplane. This would or at least ought to create a sensation in your vicinity, as no other aviator has attempted yet to go tC Alaska. Understand We guar antee to fly, weather permitting. of course. Mr. Wiseman holds the worlds record for the fastest flight from Petaluma to Santa Rosa. Cal one-half miles. in l2 minutes and 32 seconds against a 12-mile wind We would have to have minimum guar dultt O1 3lN.'bb TOT two ol tlltt days flight. and if you have an en- closure large enough you could. of course, charge admission fee for the exhibition and be a winner ill the end. We would have to have not less than 1 ,000 feet of clear space to start to fly on. and if you figure on an enclosure, there is undoubted- ly space enough somewhere near to start the flight. We necessarily have to have this space in order to avoid a smashup. in which case the loss of the machine would not only mean a loss of $6,000 but might have cost aviator his life We carry mechanics and extra parts for the machine which explains ill part our great eX- pense and the necessity of the guar antee asked. We can sail from here on May 29th. and arrange to fly in June or July.

LAST STAND BY THE
 STANDPATTERS
PROTECTIVE LEAGUE ENOEAV. oRs TO cosRce REpUsL.
 CANS IN CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON. D C. April 29- The last stand of the standpatters against the Canadian reciprocity bill Is being made by the American Pro tec;ive Tariff league. which is un- dertaking to dictate the policy of the Republican party and in doing so to put the ban of outlawry upon reciprocity. The American Pro'ect. i've Tarin league, with headquar'a ITS in New York city. is supported in large part by manufacturers. The league. through Wilbur F Wake man. its secretary has started hackfre on Republicans in the house who are supposed 10 be leaning tow ard the cause of reciprocity ad- Nanced by President Taft.
 MT Wakeman has telegraphed to manufacturers and high protection ists in various parts of the country urging them to bring pressure to bear on Republican representatives in ccngress 10 vote against reCipro- city.
 The purpose of this propaganda Is 10 rally if possible a majority of the house against reciprocity so that the Democrats may have all the credit If passing the bill and that the atteuuated claim may be made that reciprocity is q Democratic and not Republican measure.
 Somewhat in line with the logic uf the ostrich. which seCretes it self by burying its nose in the sand this plan overlooks the considera ton that President Taft. the titular head of the Republican party. with the backing of his cabinet and ad ministration, has recommended the reciprocity bill as being as good Re. publican doctrine as reciprocity wa- when recommended by Mckinley and Blaine.
 As the lineup stands today. the vote of the Republican factions III the house promises to be close The s,andpatters claim a slight m2jCr- ivy ,f Republicans ill opposition to the bill Other information discred- its this claim and puts the major number of Republicans in favor of the bill
 Mr Wakeman gave out an nl"r- view yesterday ill New York bitter. attacking President Taft as q trait or to the cause of high protection. repudiating him for president in 1912 and suggesting Vice President Sher- man as the candidate of the high protectiOniSts
 The activity of the American Pro teCtive Tarift league had the effect today Of arousing the friends of re ciprocity to renewed activity and il was thought by some Republicans that Mir Wakeman'S backtire may re act upon the standpatters and sol idify some wavering Republicans ill suppor of reciprocity.

In the last mail came the follow ing letter from the office of the gov ernor of the territory It is self explanatory:

DIT.
 The act of congress approved May II. 1898 (3O Stat. L.. 409). provides that railroad rates in Alaska shall be subject tC revision and modified tiOn by the secretary of the interior.
 The department, however, has not been provided with the money or or ganiZation necessary to exercise this function in the most effective man. ner. We must use the existing in strumentalities. For these reasons desire that. as governor of Alaska, you will cause il to be known that you will be glad to receive any in quiries, information of complaints with respect to railroad rates or ser vice in the territory. including any discriminations in such rates or ser vice.
 While the power conferred by the statute herein referred to shall re- main vested in my office, and interest ed parties can always communicate directly with the department of the interior, l desire you to conduct such prelim. mary hearings in respect to such matters of this character as are called to your attention in Alas ka as will enable you to transmit them to me with your recommends tions and suggestions
 While railroad operations in Alas ka must. under existing conditions, be relatively expensive. any over charges or abuses should be care fully and promptly investigated, to
