NOMINATION BELONGS
 PRESIDENT WILSON

When Speaker Champ Clark's at- tention was called to statements in New York and Baltimore newspapers that he was being boomed for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1916, he said that his position was the same as when he expressed him. self in the famous Panama Canal tolls debate. At that time he said that if the Democratic nomination in 1916 was worth having 1t would rightfully belong to President Wilson and if 1t was not worth having it would go to President Wilson by default.
 "I have nothing to add to or sub tract from that statement" said MT. Clark yesterday. "It was my atti- tude then and it is my attitude now. Of course the situation might change between now and nomination day"

USE DUsINII
 GUNS IN TRENCHES

PETROGRAD: Dummy machine guns, which make a noise like the real thing, aud thereby scare of the attacking enemy, are reported to be one of the latest innovations 'ried by the Austrians on the southern front
 It is a we'll known fact that infant" ry once loosed on charge upon a trench defended with rapid fire guns, are apt to swerve instinctively from points where Maxims seem to be the thickest: However dense the roar of heavy artillery during attacks the short, sharp, barking of these little guns is distinctly audible, resembling the noise of the old fashioned-horse fiddle, or a stick raked over palings. In order to increase the phychologi- cal effect of machine gun fire, the Austrians therefore hit upon the plan of mounting in their trenches alter nately with real Maxims, a large pro portion of dummies. These produce a rattle identical in sound with that of the real gun, and are operated by rapidly turning handle.

Particular emphasis is laid upon the fact that the construction of the government railroad and the exten-
 sive advertising which Alaska has had throughout the United States
 during the past two years is bring ing a large number of men to the ter ritory in search of work, and this
 competition is being keenly felt in many of the larger cities, and will slowly but surely extend to the small CT towns and camps. It is further planned to Organize a trades council in connection with the various unions, to act as a central ized head to direct the workmen of the various bodies.
 Advices received from several towns throughout the territory indi- cates that this movement will meet
 with the approval of vast majority |of the workingmen of Alaska, al-
 though it is doubtful is organization
 can make much headway save In the
 larger cities. The government action
 in the matter is open to conjecture,
 as the administration has never rec |ognized a union. and picks the men
 upon their merits.

The question of apportioning the delegates to the territorial convention was one of the subjects brought be- fore the session of the Democratic Territorial Committee yesterday. Un- der the rules adopted at the Skagway in 1914 the number of delegates is increased from 50 for each division to 75. This step was taken to provide representation at the convention for a number of new camps which has sprung up since the original allotment was made. The of these delegates will be in the hands of the several divi- sional committees. The apportion- ment of the delegates for the third division will be taken up within short time by the committee for this division and will be announced at an early date.

JUNEAU, Jan. 11.-A movement is on foot here to organize the work men of Alaska on a large scale for the purpose of preventing outside cut-throat competition and holding up the Alaska standard of wages.
 Following the organization of a carpenters union here last night, the plasterers are today holding a meet ing for the purpose of organizing. The meeting is largely attended and the sentiment of those present is largely in favor of an organized town.
 It is understood that practically every trade represented in this city will be unionized within few days, and movement has been inaugural ed to extend the propaganda through out the entire territory. A communi- cation is in course of preparation. which will be sent to every town in Alaska, urging all skilled workmen to organize to protect themselves and setting forth the necessity for ac- tion if the Alaska working man would escape from the competition and wage cutting incident to unorganized workingmen.

HUGE KRUPP PLANT DESTROYED BY FIRE
Meagre Details Sent Out Lead to the Belief that Works are Seriously
 Crippled for Some Time.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 11.--Advices received here from Berlin today state that a portion of the huge Krupp war intuition plant at Essen was destroy ed by fire today.
 Details regarding the catastrophe have not been made public. and at this time it is impossible to estimate how great the damage is to the plant or it's effect upon the operations of the Teutonic army.
 It is believed here that the plant has been damaged to a considerable extent. and the lack of details sent out by the government is due to a de- sire on the part of officials to cover the gravity of the loss.

WOOD ALCOHOL
 CLAIMS VICTIMS xa
 S;sattle Police Report Ten Persons Succumbed to I.ethal Effects of ' Unusual Stimulant.

SEATTLE, Jan. 11.-Substitutes for alcoholic beverages, the supply of which has been cut off by the closing of the saloons through the action of the prohibition law, is responsible for number of deaths since the law vent into effect the first of the year. Today's list of unfortunates who gave up their lives to an inordinate crav- ing for liquor, as reported by the po- lice, numbers ten. Of these a large majority were victims of wood alco- hol, taken in lieu of usual hard" hquors. Notwithstanding the num- her of victims of this poisonous spir- 1t during the past few days, and the numerous warnings issued as to the deadly character of wood alcohol, the number of deaths from this cause seem to be increasing daily rather than diminishing.
 Menthylated spirits, or wood alco- hol is mixture of 10 per cent of wine with wood spirits, and is used as a preservative of animal structure, and other commercial purposes. It's name is a misnomer and confusing to the ignorant, who think they are partaking of stimulant, when in fact i. is a deadly poison.
