SEWARD GIVES
 VIE w ON BILL
Continued from Page 1

John Nelson, who follows mining, says that it is now too late to pass such bill. He is opposed to it.
 Louis Rue, miner, is also opposed to the bill. Assessment should not be cut out, he says.
 Fred Woodaman, miner, says every one should do his assessment work. He is also emphatically opposed to the bill.
 Dr. Baughman, game warden, says that the times are so hard that it would be a favor to the miners not to be compelled to do assessment work.
 Frank Cotter, merchant, believes in cutting out assessment work. He fa- vors the bill because he believes 1t would help poor men.
 Ollie Reese is in favor of the bill for the same reasons.
 William Sauers, merchant, is en- tireIy opposed to the bill. He be- heves that assessment work should be done as it would help many poor people and the country generally. He further declares that all the people he has spoken to are opposed to the bill for several reasons. He thinks that the great majority, at least, are
  unalterably opposed to the bill.
 Carl Amy, Iawy CT, believes that assessment work should be cut out He is for the bill because times are bad.
 II. E. Ellsworth, assayer, says it is an outrage to ask fer the exemption of assessment work. He is most em- phatic in expressing himself against the bill in every shape and form.
 Dr. Romig is almost as emphatic in favor of the bill. He believes that the times are so hard because of the war and other circumstances the do- ing of assessment work would be a hardship on many poor people.
 George Phelps, democratic commit teeman and business man, says that the proposal to eliminate assessment work has come too late and that the bill is useless and he is opposed to n
 F.. r. Skeen, the prominent mining man, says that so many have done their assessment work that the bill would be useless this year. He sus- gests, however, that if such pro- posal was made for next year it might be of some benefit. He seems to be opposed to the bill chiefly be- cause it has come too late.
 J. c. Robertson sends word to S. l.. Colwell that he is opposed to the bill to exempt people from doing assess ment work as it has been introduced too late. He and all the people where he is mining have already done their

 In connection with these charges Prime Minister AS quith was asked question today in the house Of cOn mOns He declared in that he has received na official information concerning the alleged Outrages Tine IuestiOner stated that stories being constantly re- peaed to the effect that the German soldiers had abused the rights of the Red Cross fag had killed and maimed !he wounded and killed women and children The prime minister pointed out that until these statements full confirmed they should not be accepted He is mak ng full inquiries into the matter and expressed the hope hat he would be able to give definite to the ion later On

assessment work and he believes the same is true of the people in other districts.
 Tom Hughes, mechanic, believes that assessment work should be done now by all people as the year has so far gone that the bill is ridiculous:y late.
 J. T. Harvey says it would be bad to cut out assessment work now as it would mean knocking many men out of employment. He is opposed to the bill.
 Robert Ashland is opposed to the bill. That the men who are here should be given an opportunity to make few dollars out of the outsid- CTS who hold lots of property here and have plenty of money is his opinion.
 G. Benjamin Poindexter is one of the many who call the bill an out rage. He thinks it would be not only useless but an injury.
 Frank Ballaine is strongly opposed to the bill. The opinion of the people of Nome is his opinion, he says, and he believes emphatically that assess ment work should be done.
 Judge Curtis Morford says the bill would be of no benefit to the masses of the people and he is strongly op- posed to it.
 c. A. Myers believes it would be a good thing to let assessment work go this year as he believes it would re- lieve some people who need relief.
 Judge Whittlesey is heartily in fa- vor of relieving the people from doing assessment work this year because, he believes, the times are hard.
 So it went While the great ma ority seem to be strongly opposed to the bill there are some who favor it. 1t must be remembered, however, tha, many may have expressed an opinion without having carefully weighed all the facts connected with the proposal.

CAPTAIN MOORE TRIED
 10 REACH VICTORIA
News Direct From the People Who Were on the Sampson Tell What
 Looks More Reasonable

That Captain Zim Moore, when he had waited to the last moment to save the passengers and was left alone on the Sampson, tried to reach the Vic toria but failed is the story which Is now coming to be believed generally owing to statements to that effect which have recently been made by people who were aboard the vesSe, when she sank. It has often been wondered by Captain Moore's friends that a man of his splendid, healthy mental qualities would consider it right to sacrifice his life needlessly. One lady who was on the boat at the time of the accident and who is now in Seward says that the idea is preva- lent among the rescued that the cap tain did try to reach the Victoria when nothing else was left for him to do. He had given his whole time and attention to saving the passengers and in this he was ably aided by Chief Engineer Noon who was lost in the effort to save Mrs. Banbury. Proba- bly, some of the Sampson crew who are now coming on the Watson can give the full details.

SCHOOLS OPEN

The city schools opened this morn- ing and the upper part of the city soon became aware of the fact when all the young hopefuls gathered for their profound mental labors ana came out later to play apparently not at all suffering from the traditional horror which the thought of school is said to exercise on the minds whose young ideas are taught to shoot. The attendance on the opening day was fine and soon now the school will be housed in its new building.

GERMANS DISAPPOINTED

Letters found German prisoners show that they had expected to enter Paris few days and that the retreat was bitter disappointment to them. Some of the letters declared the opinion of the soldiers to be that the war was practically over as after the taking of Paris they would proceed against the Russians and drive them back from German soil without much trouble. The Germans who were taken the right wing were in state of demOra ZatiOn were without food and half starved that of them surrendered readily and without sufcien; energy owing to hunger to make feeble resistance It regarded extraordinary here that the German com miSSary department could have failed frightuy to prepare the army for the work and assumed that the German military authorities had to the conclusion that the march Paris would have been effected in much quicker time and with much less trouble
