Recent Storms on Coast Prevent
Working of the Nets.

Wholesale dealers at the wharf market

selling at S2.50 barrel last week, are
this week selling at 81 to $50 a barrel

for the latter.

vanced in price, but not to the extent
as have ling and whiting.

Senator Owen Decides Not to
Press Proposed Rule
at This Time.

The Senate rules committee did not act
upon the Owen resolution for a cloture
rule in the Senate at it's first meeting of

was said following the meeting that Sen
ator Owen did not care to press consid-
Grafton of his resolution at this time.
The prediction was made, however, that
as soon as possible the Senate would be
called upon to give consideration to such
a rule. The fight over tho cloture prom
ises to be long.
New rules agreed upon Yesterday by
the Senate committee arc expected TO ma
terially affect Senate business in the
future.
One resolution offered by Senator Ba-
con would require the presence of an
actual quorum TO make any unanimous
consent agreement for a vote on any bill
at a definite time.
Separate Vote on Items.
\ resolution by Senator Cumnins. i'll
dorsed by the committee would insure a
separate vote on any item in conference
report on a bill, instead of requiring the
adoption of the report as a whole.
y third change in rules would allow
senators who are paired on a vote to be
counted present In the makeup of a
quorum. This rule now applies In the
House.

The Nugget must be excused for
 taking a little pride in the fact that
 it saw through the Chisana stampede
 very quickly although at a great dis
 tance but, then, Q newspaper that i<
 unable to use common sense does not
 deserve the name and. really. there
 is not much to boast of except that
 this paper just succeeded in fulfilling
 It's mission. Of course it is recalled
 that the paper had ulterior motives attributed to 1t by people on the street and elsewhere and for its own vindica-
 tion, if that were necessary. 1t is pardonable now to remind the people that 1t was right and that 1t might have aided in preventing a stampede that would have injured those who went and those who remained. The
 position taken by this paper is borne
 out by the other papers in the terri tory now. One of the papers which
 endorsed the Nuggets view of the stampede is only quoted. It is the paper of Governor Strong. the Juneau Empire which speaks editorialiy as follows:
 The unfavorable reports that are being brought back from the Shushana are not the stories of tenderfeet. They
 are not excuses of those suffering from
 attacks of coldfeet. They are not the
 mouthings of knockers. They are not
 the walls of the unsuccessful. They come from men of experience. They are made by those that could go any where in the Territory, and who would go if they believed there was anything to go for. They are men that are not seeking publicity. but men that under stand fully the hardship and the cost of going in Alaska when of the main travelled roads. and they are sending out the warning simply 10 save their friends and others from expense and suffering.
 It might be that the pictures that some of these who are returning from the Shushana are painting of that country are too pessimistic. It might be that further developments there will uncover paystreaks that will war rant a greater rush Into that country than has taken place. It is very great ly to be hoped that 1t might be so. However. their accounts should serve to warn the people. There is every in- dication that there are already as many in the shushana district as the devel- opments and prospects there warrant. If 1t should develop that a great gold bearing district has been discovered there will be plenty of time to get in the country after that fact is cstab- lished. Right now the best advice that can be given is Wait for more

Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. SEPT. 6, 1918

The Caminetti md Diggs trials have 'been brought on for political motives and not at all because the men were guilty or supposed to be guilty of the crimes with which they are charged.
 That they are young men is evident from the fact that the father of the defendant Caminetti was married in 1881 and they have been guilty of noth- ing more than what most men would be guilty of at the same age if the chance were provided.
 Hamilton of the San Francisco Ex . aminer. who was here with the Sea tile chamber Of commerce excursion. has been detailed on the case by the Examiner and in his story of the pro- ceedinss he suggests that if women were on the jury they would be inclin- cd to place the whole blame entirely on the girls. He declares that the girl, Marsha Warrington. according to the evidence rather took pride in the fact that she had busted the wife of Caminetti from her husbands affec- lions. and fin the telegraphic account of the affair 1t is seen thnt one of the girls called one of the men n 'piker" because he attempted to get out of the bargain to takc her to Nevada.
 All of this clearly shows that Cam. inetti and Diggs are the victims of the prominence of their families and are not the victims at all of outraged justice as some of the Pecksniffian tribe would try to make them appear. Had the two men been longshoremen their act would never have brought them before the courts and soap box orators must now change their tunes as to the partiality of courts and ad- init that If legal justice can be par tial at all 1t is biased against men who have the misfortune to be In the political limelight or who are the sons of men who have gnined prominence enough to make enemies.
 The act of Caminetti and Diggs cam not be condoned. Viewing 1t from the standpoint of real morality. which 70 few of us practice. their act is not min imixed in the least by the willingness of the girls involved in 1t for it stands to reason that without the consent or both parties the crimo could never have been committed. and here is where the whole story comes out. Many women have from time to time been heard to say that woman should be allowed the same latitude as men and if this were granted 1t must also bs admitted that the girls in the pre- sent case arc as guilty as the men. for following this course of reason It n evident that the mcnssuifered m much as the girls and were as much the victims of the girls as the girls werc of the men. Even men are heard to say that women should he given the same freedom as men by the social moral code and if men believed thia there ls no excuse why the girls in tho present case should bs the cause of having Caminettl and Diggs sent to the psnitsntiary.

The Nome daily nugget., 1913-09-06

The Mann act was probably never intended to cover such a case any,
 how. It Is apparent that grown uI
 women need never become the victims of men and go into another state with them if they did not wish to do 50 and 1t is really hard to understand why men should be placed in the peniten- tiary for such an act when the same act is being committed every day and every hour under circumstances which are just as bad and just as immoral although there is no special law to prevent 1t.
 The punishment of Diggs and Cam inetti Is very similar to the old cus- tom of shooting every hundreth man of a captured army and taking partic- ular pains to see that some of the of- f,cers are amongst the ones chosen for the slaughter. The officers arc just as guilty as the rest but no more and the ninty nine men who escape most probably contain some of the suiltiest of all. All are guilty to some extent or another and the men who commit acts like the acts of which Caminetti and Diggs are charged are certainly guilty of something which should neither be condoned nor coun- tenanced by law but 1t Is altogether different matter to pick out men be- cause of their social or political pro- minence and disgrace them and their families just because of the position which their families have won and In spite of the fact that their supposed victims were willing to accompany them and were ambitions to rob the wives of their companions of their rights.
