According to the Seward Gateway
wonderful paystreak has been dis
covered in the Turnagain Arm sec
ton. The paystreak found is re-
garded as one of the greatest in the
whole territory. 1t runs clear across
the creek from rim to rim and one
pan picked no less a sum than S44
was washed. The width of the
streak is 200 feet and It is believed
that there is work in sight there for
so years. The discovery has created
the greatest excitement all over the
Sunrise and Hope sections as it is
taken as an indication that much
greater development is in sight for
those districts than people had
dared to hope before.
This paystraek is on the property
of the Crow Creek Mining Company,
composed of H. L. Jaffe, Dick Daw-
son, Charles r. Brown, N. B. Sol
ner, R. R. Rhodes and Harry Nutter.
AS result of four days run, $4,000
was cleaned up.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Secre-
tary of State Bryan has put himself
on record as favoring universal
suffrage. In formal statement
given out last evening he declared
positively for woman suffrage, say
ing that he would ask no political
right for himself that he was not
willing to grant to his wife. The
many representatives here of the
suffrage cause are jubilant over this
expression and believe that it will be
of great assistance in their fight to
have the question made a national
issue.
PUERTO MEXICO, July 21.-

Lieut.. Glen E. Edgerton, of the
engineer corps, and member OF the
Alaska Road Commission, came from
the interior on a speeder yesterday
and is at the Windsor hotel. He.
recently went to the Nizina country,
to inspect the new bridge that had
largely been carried away by the
high water. He found that three
spans of $50 feet each, and crossing
the deeper channel of the north end,
were no longer in evidence. In ad-
dition the cribbing had also entirely
washed away When the rock was
placed in the cribs last winter 1t ap-
peared to be hard and had to be-
blasted out of the hillside. But
after being exposed to the sun
rays and to the water it seemed 10
crumble and disintegrate, because of
the limestone which it contained.
1t was about June that glacier
stream burst and brought such a
torrent of water down that within
eight hours the five feet that had
previously been running had been
increased to IA feet, rise OF 9 feet.
R. S. Giddings, who had been sent
by the Road Commission to make
the trail approaches to the bridge
was in camp on the river side when
the accident occurred, but could do
nothing to stem the current. Three
smaller trusses of 10 feet each still
remain and it is believed that they
will not be washed away as they are
on the side where the current is not
so swift or water so deep. The COM
mission will either have to repair the
present bridge. at considerable cost,
or possibly save what they can OF
it and rebuild at another location
where the stream is wider and cur
rent not so swift. The Lieut.. Will
return on the next train and will
make further investigation OF con-
ditions along the Nizina river.

NEW YORK, July 21.-There is
serious trouble in baseball circles
This morning the Baseball Fratern-
ity ordered all players in the Major
league to go on a strike The reason
given is because of the suspension
of Clarence o. Kraft, for declining
to obey an order of the National
Commission. He was directed to re-
port from the Newark International
League to the Nashville club of the
Southern Association. He refused
on the ground that his salary would
be $3.50 per month less. And in
taking this stand Kraft is supported
by the Fraternity.

The Cordova Park Association IS
now an assured organization, as
articles of incorporation were signed
today and the necessary papers Will
be filed with the Clerk of the Court
and the Secretary of the Territory.
The capitalization is $4,000, shares
at 81 each and worcestershire. The
intention is to establish parks, play
grounds, conduct games, ETC., for
the pleasure and benefit of the peo-
pie of Cordova. The board of direc-
tors, whose names appear in the in
corporation papers, is composed of
the following: DR.. w. w. Council,
DR.. W. H. Chase, Geo. C. Hazelet, NJ.
Brock, c. P. Nicholson, Capt. A. E.
Lathrop and John Berry. These
names were recommended at a meet
ing of the men who have subscribed
to the new association. They viii
serve until May, 1915. The direc-
tors nave elected officers as follows:
Fresiden't-Dr. w. H. Chase.
Vice President-E L. HARDWOOD.
Secretary-T. ]. Talent.
Treasurer-Ho DWELL |. Lewis.
Manager-Dr. w. W. Council.
One of the first activities of the
association will be the making of a
ground to be used for baseball and
other athletic sports. The right has
been secured to use a tract across
the railroad and in the rear Of the
Arctic Lumber Co.'s building. 1t is
about 800 feet square. The work of
improving this ground was started
this morning, with c. P. Nicholson
as superintendent. A donkey engine
has been secured from the railway
company and it is being used to pull
out stumps, preparatory to putting
two shovels at work in day or two,
leveling off and covering the area
with six inches of gravel. Monay
and labor necessary to do the re-
quired work has been subscribed and
it is expected that in about two
weeks the ground will be in condi-
ton to play base ball on.

PH0N0GRAPH TO RECORD
MISS WILSON'S VOICE
Daughter of the President to Sing
in New York for Mechanical
Preservation.

NEW YORK. March 31.-Miss Margaret
W. Wilson. eldest daughter of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson, arrived from Wash
ington last night, and today or tomorrow
will go to the Offices of a monograph
company in this city to sing for phono-
graphic records. Whether the records will
be distributed generally could not be as
certained yesterday. Miss Wilson arrived
here last night from Washington. Rec
ords of several of her songs will be taken.
Miss Wilson has a soprano voice of full
quality. which was heard to advantage
recently when she sang a prelude to the
bird masque given in the Astor Hotel, in
which Miss Eleanor Wilson had the lead
ing role. Miss Wilson's voice easily filled
the large ballroom as she stood in a box
in the upper tier at the rear of the audi
torium.

BOARD READY TO NAME
RESERVE BANK CITIES
Also to Define Geographical Limits
of Districts for Banking
Purposes.
Announcement of Details of the New
Monetary System Is Expected
Tomorrow.

After three months Of consideration the
reserve bank organization committee, Sec
retaries McAdoo and Houston and Con-
troller of the Currency Williams-charged
with laying the groundwork for the new
currency system-is about ready to de-
fine geographically the limits Of the fed
eral reserve districts into which the con-

for banking purposes, and at the same
time name the cities in each district
where reserve banks are to be located.
1t is the general expectation here that
the announcement of these conclusions
will be made tomorrow. The committee

Low REGISTRATION NOTED.
Reduction in New York City's Five
Counties Explained.

NEW YORK March 31.-The revised
registration figures compiled for John
R. Voorhis, state superintendent of cleo
lions, show that in the five counties of
New York city 1896 voters registered
at an average cost of something more
than s11.4o apiece. There are 1,7S
election districts in the FIVE counties, and
the average registration a district was
about 50
Aside from lack of interest in the
coming special election, which is to de
eide as to whether a constitutional con-
vention shall be held, the low registra-
ton rate was largely due, 1t is believed.
to the fact that those who enrolled al
the last election and have not changed
their voting residence are entitled to
vote at the special election.

Those who have figured their lists

lieve only one bank will be located on
the Pacific coast, at San Francisco.
They point out that in that territory
there are now only banks with suffi-
cient capital enough to subscribe to the
stock Of one reserve bank. Under the

Opinion Is Divided.

Opinion is not unanimous among those
persons as to the number of banks to be
established. The law permits the estab-
lishment of not less than eight and not
more than twelve banks. There is APP
parently little ground for believing that
the committee will name only eight cities.
Many are confident that they will select
the number allowed
The expectation seems to be quite gem
eral that there will be at least four cities
on the Atlantic seabpard. In this section,
Boston. New York And Philadelphia have
been named many times, and Richmond
and Atlanta. Baltimore and Washington
have been put down on many of the I'M
official lists. Between the Allegheny
mountains and the Rockies the prophets
/ are not SO definite, but many of them
agree that Chicago. St. Louis and Kan

chosen, and many of them add Minneap-

Saves $7,722 Yearly.

Therefore, it will doubtless interest you
to know that the Washington Terminal
Company made the new law here the oc-
casion for an economy amounting to
s7.722 on the pay roll of its woman car
cleaners.
"Forty-five women are employed in the
yards as cleaners. Formerly these wom-
en- worked ten hours a day and seven
days a week. When the new law went
into effect last month the schedule was
changed in compliance Herewith so that
each woman should have one day off in
seven and only eight hours of work each
day. The rate Of pay. I understand,
which was 10 cents an hour. remains the
same.
THE reduction of from seventy to
forty-eight hours a week for forty-f1ve
women employed at Is cents an hour in
the course of the year amounts to re-
duction on the pay roll of s7,722

the general public lies in the fact that

PROTESTS AGAINST RATE
INCREASE FOR RAILROADS
Miss Constance D. Leupp Retaliates
for Alleged Reduction in Pay Of
Woman Car Cleaners.

Miss Constance D. Leupp. president OF
the Consumers League OF the District
of Columbia. In retaliation for the alleged
reduction of wages of number of wom-
an car cleaners at Union station, Wash
ington, has filed with the interstate COM
merce commission general protest
against granting the permission being
asked by the railroads to increase their
freight rates per cent.
Miss Leupp's protest, which is address
ed to the chairman of the commission,
is follows:
LAS president Of the Consumers League
of the District of Columbia, the organi-
cation largely responsible for the passage
of the La Toilette eight hour law for
women, I wish to place before your COM
mission certain facts in regard to the
Washington Terminal Company as a pro-
test against the granting of the ! per
cent increase in freight rates which the
railroads are now asking for.
Il understand that the Washington
Terminal Company Is controlled by the
two principal railroads running into the
city. the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania, as these two corporations
own its stock. l understand also that one
basis of the plea made by the railroads
for the desired increase is the fact that
such measures as our recently enacted
elght-hour law cause them expense.

make up the $4,000. 600 the stock Of the
reserve bank is to be subscribed by the
public.
1t is assumed here that the commit
tee will not launch the new system
in such way that any bank will be
the center of district which cannot.
without public subscription, take up
the necessary. reserve bank stock.
Those who use this argument are in
clined to believe that the committee
for this reason may establish less than
twelve banks. They say that it will
be only few years when the Pacific
of normal expansion, to take the stock
of a reserve bank, and that by that
time that section will need such q
bank.
Prospect for Southern Cities.
There has been doubt in the minds OF
some persons as to the number of banks
to be set up in the south. Atlanta, New
Orleans. Richmond and Louisville have
been active in an attempt to secure a
bank. But the committee has been re-
minded by others that the south. east Of
the Mississippi river, is still a borrowing
country. Accepting this statement as
true, some persons in their prophecies
have limited their lists to ten. They de-
| clare that this would allow for natural
expansion in the south and permit the
establishment of bank there later
One fact that has not been emphasize
in the unofficial reports is that the fed
, eral reserve board. which is to manag,
| the new system. has authority under the
| law to change the districts and the
| cities whenever it sees fit Although Il
seems at present unlikely, the reserve
| board could change the organization

the Washington Terminal Company in
the capacity Of cleaners
1T would seem that the economy Is
being made at the expense Of the clean
ing women. who are now earning $50,
as against a former $fO.5O week. and
the travelling public, which must OF ne
i, cessity be getting less clean service.
Husbands Killed on Railroads.
ITO indicate the importance of the
reduction to the women, wish to call at
tention to the fact that learn through
the charitable sc cieties of the city that a
number of these woman cleaners are
widows with children, and that they are
the widows Of men who have been killed
on the railroads. The charities are eking
out the reduced wages. 1t would seem
that railroads which are extracting the
widows mite Of 81. 122 year do not need
freight shippers.
THE eight-hour law is a health meas
ure. If. however, railroad employers use
it as an excuse for a niggardly economy
which reduces wages below the amount
on which their employees can live decently,
and at the same time make 1t the occa-
sion for giving the public dirtter cars to
travel in, 1t is defeated as public health
measure. The employer who do this are,
in our opinion, entitled to no considera-
ton from the interstate commerce COM
mission
Pay Not Reduced, Says Keppel.
A. N. keppel. superintendent of the
Washington terminal, said today that the
rate of pay of the women specified in
Miss Leupp's complaint has not been
changed. They are working fewer hours,
he said, in accordance with the new
eight-hour law, and in accordance with
the retrenchment Of expense necessary
for all railroads at this time of poor
earnings
Il have talked with many of these
women personally Mr.. Keppel said.
land they freely express opposition to
the eight-hour law, which made obliga-
tory employment for fewer hours. Many
of them. in fact, are in the employ of the
company as a matter of charity. They
go around with feather busters when the
cars are in. and when the cars are not
here for them to dust and clean they sit
down and take their rest. They are not
constantly employed. The work is light.
Because of the poor earnings of the rail-
roads we could not increase their rate of
pay. We are doing as much for them
as can be done when we give them the
light work they do
