The Dance Craze Waning.
For some weeks II has been intimat
ed that the dance craze which for the
past year has so steadily grasped the
population Of the United States Is
waning. Perhaps II Is the summer
heat which has caused the failing en-
thusiasm over the new twists and
turns in the fox trots and hesitatiOns,
OF this form OF amusement and Is
now on the alert for something new.
er and more fascinating.
One San francisco society matron
recently was quoted as saying that
she had fox trotted, turkey trotted
and hesitated till she was fairly sick
of dancing. and that eff somebody
doesn't hurry up and invent some
thing new she Is going TO scream at
the very first big dance she goes to.
Perhaps, Il has been suggested. her
screaming would create a new form OF
entertainment for other members Of
her sex.
In New York. too, there Is mark.

for year have frequented the expen-
sive cafes after the theaters and be-
tween luncheon ana nfterupnh lea en-

eastern metropolis has decided that
he knows what Is the matter with
his moneyed patrons and he Is now

ROOSEVELT IN
 A TIGHT BOX
ADMITS HE SCHEMED WITH BARNES TO GET HIS
 NOMINATION.

SYRACUSE, April 2S.-Theodore Roosevelt, former president of the United States, was compelled last evening while on the witness stand to make admissions that he formerly sought the aid of the man who is now suing him for defamation of character and libel. Under cross examination Roosevelt admitted that when he him. self was seeking the nomination for election as governor of New York he had dealings with Barnes in order to get the nomination and that at that time he was only too glad to go hand in glove with the man whom he has since accused of bossism and prac- tices that are infinitely worse. The most serious admission of all by the former president was that he knew he was not legal resident of New York state when he was elected governor of it. These admissions created quite a little sensation. Mir. Roosevelt is still under cross-examination and is being severely questioned by the attorneys for Plaintiff Barnes.

THE BIG RUSH
 HAS STARTED
ADMIRAL EVANS COMES CROWDED TO THE
 DECKS.

The great rush which has been look ed for and hoped for during many years really began last evening when the Admiral Evans of the Pacific AL aska Navigation company arrived crowded in every inch with hundreds of stampederS as the big ships came crowded in the good old days when the news of Dawson was flashed to the world.
 More than three hundred people were aboard the Evans when she whistled for Seward. From Seattle alone she had seyenty-fve first class passengers for Knik Anchorage and thirty-fve first class for Seward. For Knik she had siNty-six steerage and for Seward sixty-seven steerage. The names of the passengers from way points are not included. While most of the passengers are for Cook Inlet country where the first railroad work is expected to commence the people stopping here are evidently preparing to settle with the full knowledge that this will be the permanent settlement.

MERELY A JOKE.

Rep. Noon wants the moon. A liter al translation of this metaphor is that he wants the territorial capital moved root and branch to Seward. It is needless to add that Mir. Noon is from Seward. It costs nothing, save the effort in stringing a few words to- gether and having them typed to in- troduce a resolution memorializing congress for this, that, and the other thing, and there is at least some ad- vertising in it for the member from Seward.
 We cannot believe that Mr. Noon is serious. Nor do we believe that the legislature will treat it seriously; we know that congress will not seriously consider such a proposition as send ing commission to Alaska to decide for the people of Alaska where they want their capital established, so what is the good of bombarding con- gress with paper wads when there is no serious work afOot-(Juneau Dis patch.)

FIGHT
 IN THE WEST
SAVAGE ONSLAUGHTS CON- TINUE IN THE REGION
 OF YPRES.

LONDON, April 29.-The fighting around Ypres continues savagely. In that quarter the British are opposed to the Germans and the battle is re- ported to be as fierce and bloody as the battle of Neuve Chappelle, where our losses were eleven thousand in killed, wounded and missing for three days fighting. The bombardment of Ypres itself is still going on and the city is said to be suffering severely. The British war office has warned the people to be prepared for another long casualty list as the fighting is desper- ate. Our troops are reported to be more than holding their own and the losses to the enemy must be much more severe than ours as he is on the offensive in the effort to recapture some lost positions.

RUSSIA BLAMES
 SPRING FLAWS
OFFENSIVE DELAYED BUT AUSTRIAN ATTACKS
 REFUSED.

PETROGRAD, April 23.-The spring thaws in the mountains are now delaying the Russian advance in the Carpatbians and the stopping of the Russian offensive is due not at all to the superiority of the Austrians, according to the official notes publish ed here today. The Austrians are ad- mittedly attacking in several places but all these attacks have proved fruitless. Near Gorlice in west Galic- ia, at Sanok pass, on the Bukowina border, and in east Galicia the enemy has made several attempts to advance but they have been repulsed in every instance. The fighting is severe, nevertheless, and it is admitted that the Austrians are by no means in- clined to give up the struggle. It is denied that the Russian advance was halted by the endorsements dispat- ched to the Carpathians although this news was published from London. Nothing has been given out here off cially as to the reported settlement of the troubles between Italy and Austria and the report is doubted.

FRENCH ATTACKING.

BERLIN, April 23.-The French have now assumed the offensive in the Argonne and in upper Alsace and from the indications it is assumed that the effort now being made by the hostile forces are part of the plans for the long expected attempts at the spring advance. Conditions in northern Poland are said to be just about the same. The chief field of activity in the east has been shifted from the north to the south to stem the tide of the Russian advance to- wards Hungary. That this advance has been entirely stopped is the gen. eral belief in military circles in Ger many and now that the danger of Italian intervention has been removed the German people are more confident than ever of the ultimate outcome.

NEWS NOTES

William Longman, the prominent mining man of the Hope district, re- turned on the Evans after long tour of the states. While outside he visit ed St. Louis, San Francisco and many other places but, he says, he was glad to get back.
 George W. Puckett came on the Evans and proceeded to Uyak on Kodiak Island where he is engaged in business. He is most optimistic in his belief about the future of ths part of Alaska.
 The Evans is not due to return un- til Tuesday.
 Joe Campbell, the star first base man of the Federals, is now member of the fast increasing staff of Brown and Hawkins. John Casaraski, a Valdez ball player, is another new member of the staff. He has signed up with the Federals.
 Harry Ellsworth advertised in the Gateway some time ago that he could give information about Broad Pass and amongst the answers received to the ad yesterday was one from south ern Nevada.
 Dick Dawson, the Crow creek min ing man, was a passenger on the Evans. He continued on the vessel on his way to the scene of his sum- mer's labors.

DIR. J. M. SLOAN ARRIVES.

Dr. J. NJ. Sloan, the most prominent physician of Nome for years, arrived on the Evans to begin the practise of his profession here. He left Nome last fall and went eaSt but refused to live outside Alaska. He is a gradu- ate of the Manitoba university medi- cal school and of Edinburgh, Scotland, university. He will be followed here by Mrs. Sloan and their child when he finds quarters. He believes from his observations outside that Seward and this district generally are at be- ginning of an extraordinary develop ment. He was president of the Nome Igloo of Pioneers.

GROUND
 IN RESERVES
RECENT ACT GIVES OPPORTUN- ITY TO PEOPLE AROUND
 SEWARD.

That people in this neighborhood can secure leases from the govern ment of ground in forest reserves seems to be the only interpretation that can be placed on the following communication received through mail by the Gateway from the Forest Ser vice, United States Department of Agriculture, Portland, Oregon:
 PORTLAND, Ore, April 1, 1915.-
 According to the terms of the Agricultural Appropriation Act re gently passed by Congress, it is now possible for responsible persons to lease, for periods not exceeding thirty years, fve-acre tracts within the Ma tional Forest for the construction of summer homes, hotels, stores, or other recreation or public conven- fences. This announcement was made today by the District Forester at Port land, Oregon.
 Heretofore, camping sites, hotel sites and the like could be rented, at a nominal fec, under special permit. While this permit was given for an indefinite period, it was revocable by any government officer at any time. Under the terms of the new law, how ever, such sites may be leased for term of years and not even the Presi- dent of the United States can cancel a lease except for violation of its pro- visions. It is, of course, optional with the applicant whether he obtains his camping site under special use permit or under lease. It is obvious that a man desiring to secure a location in the Forest for a summer hotel would feel that his investment was better protected by lease.
 It should be understood that this lease law is not homestead law in any sense, and the title to the land remains with the government. At the expiration of the lease, unless renew ed, the lands will revert to the gov ernment. The Secretary has no auth ority under the law to issue patents"

PORTAGE BAY GOES DRY.

A saloon was in course of construc- tion at Portage bay at the time the announcement of the ocean terminal at Seward was made. Paddy Cum mings who was in Seward last sum- mer with Major French was the architect and builder of the Portage bay edifce having been sent up by a man from Seattle to do the work. Frank Reese, who has just arrived here and who was one of the officials of the fourishing Portage Bay Im- provement club, says that Mir. Cum mings had all but the roof built when he left. The new edifce may now be used as headquarters for gulls-sea gulls.

After he had been chased from the House by request of Representa- tive Driscoll, Representative A. c. Shoup of Sitka, superintendent of the Pioneers Home, was given the thanks of the people of Alaska, for faithfully serving the Territory as superintend- ent of the Home, without compensa- tion, in a concurrent resolution which Mir. Driscou introduced. The resolu- tion was passed unanimously, and when Mir. Shoup returned from his ex- ile he learned of the compliment that had been paid him. The House want cd to reimburse him for his services at Sitka, but under the law authOriz- ing the Pioneers Home this power is withheld, as Mir. Shoup was member of the first Legislature, which estab- lished the institution. The resolution unstintedly praises the efforts of the superintendent in connection with his unselfsh service.-(Empire.)

SHIPS OF CORPORATIONS
 MAY USE THE CANAL

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The att torney general has announced the de- cision that ships belonging to corpora tions which are alleged to be violat- ing the Sherman antitrust laws must be allowed to use the Panama canal until the violation is proven. Then, he declares, if the corporation is ord cred dissolved the ships will be al- lowed to use the canal as the copora- tion can no longer be regarded as a trust. No ships belonging to corpora tions that are violating the trust laws will, however, be permitted to make use of the canal.

HARRY THAW IS
 GIVEN A CHANCE
SUPREME COURT GRANTS APPEAL ASKING NEW
 TRIAL.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Once again Harry K. Thaw will have his case air ed in court, the supreme court having granted this afternoon the appeal for a new trial. The Thaw attorneys had asked for a trial by jury to determine whether their client is sane or not and this is the request granted now. On the result of the trial will depend the fate of the prisoner. Should the jury decide that he is not insane he cannot be sent back to the asylum and as he has been already acquitted of the charge of conspiracy he cannot be kept in jail. The general opion seems to be that he will escape this time and gain full freedom.

 For Enemies.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The state department has been notified of the fact that Germany has announced the placing on the contraband list of several new articles of merchandise. Amongst the articles included in the new conditional contraband are coal. coke, pig iron, and aeroplanes. The German government further an nounces that if these articles are shipped in neutral vessels to ports from which they can be reshipped to any of the belligerent nations they will be seized just the same as if they were consigned to a belligerent country directly.

Roberts, Jailed Head of Terre Haute, Refuses to Resign the
 Reins of Office.

LEVENWORTH, April 29.-The extraordinary experience of conduct ing the affairs of city from a prison cell is now being observed in the case of Mayor Roberts of Terre Haute who is now in this prison but who refuses to relinquish the reins of office. He has been requested by the city council of TerTe Haute to resign but he re- fuses to do SO. Impeachment proceed ings have been instituted against him to compel his resignation but unti! the impeachment is effected there is no way of forcing him out. He sends his directions by telegraph to the city from the cell.

SHIPS ENTER
 DARDANELLES
ALLIES PREPARING FOR COM. BINED LAND AND SEA
 ATTACK.

ATHENS, April 23.-Four British battleships entered the Dardanelles this morning and are now bombarding once again the Turkish forts. The bombardment of Smyrna in Asiatic Turkey has been renewed, probably for the purpose of clearing the way for the landing of land forces in that quarter to march from the south on the Asiatic shores of the straits and SO act in conjunction with the forces landed to the northward at the gulf of Saros. It is now believed that the combined land and sea attack on the Dardanelles will begin soon. The particular effort will undoubtely be made to siege the peninsula to the north as from that position the land forces of the allies can command the forts on both sides of the channel.

TO ESTABLISH ELECTRIC
 PLANT AT SHIP CREEK.
Company Formed and One Member Went Last Night to Look
 Over the Field.

A company composed of eastern capitalists has been formed for the purpose of establishing an electric power and light plant for Ship creek and one of the capitalists interested went through to that place last night on the Evans. Jack McEachern, for merly superintendent of the electric company at Cordova, is the moving spirit in the enterprise. He has been here all the winter but earlier in the season he staked the water right on Ship creek and has had a man work ing on it all the winter at his own expense. The company is known as the Ship Creek Electric Company. Mr. McEachern will leave on the Mariposa for the scene of his future activities.

Landing of Allied Army Forces the Enemy to Evacuate Accord
 ing to London.

LONDON, April 23.-It is reported that the Turkish port of Enos in the Aegean sea has been evacuated by the Turkish troops as a result of the failure of the Turkish army to oppose successfully the landing of the allied army. Further news from that quart CT indicates that the efforts of the Turks to oppose the allies were unex- pectedly weak but the position of the enemy is admitted to have been a difficult one owing to the fact that the GallipoE peninsula is narrow and allows little space for the maneuver- ing of troops.

 BE KILLED IN TEXAS.

AUSTIN, April 2S.-Eight more people were reported this afternoon to be dead as the results of the storms and floods which occurred here last night. A hig wind was accompanied by a terrific downpour of rain and an electrical storm of unusual violence visited the greater part of the state.
