NOME. ALASKA. JULY 3. 1915

The sensational ahirgts made by De- gate wickersham relative to the control of Alaska shipping by the American Smelting and Refining Company other
 wise known as che Guggenheim's. may
 not have an apprecable affect in seeur- Ing relief from the transportation rondi
 tons of which Alaskans with much jus
 tice complain hut they will at least disclose the truth concerning the reason
 for the excessive rates charged by the transportation companies. The question
 in SD for Us Alaskans are concerned. is not whether the Guggs, as is claimed hy
 the delegate. or some other corporation control Alaska shipping. All corpora
 uons are pretty much the same, any way especially when it comes 10 skin ming the public The man point is that control Of Alaska shipping means con trol of Alaskan development, resources
 and about everything in the territory
 And 1T this power Of control happens to be vested in one corporation and es- eciany eorporttion whose principal
 business Is mining it does not look especially good for future development
 II would naturally be the desire Of such a corporation 10 retard and hinder de-
 yelopment for it's own interest. And one of the easiest ways to accomplish this object would be by making development prohibtive to the ordinary individual by working through its transportation inter a the degree that the individual win be bound and fettered by excessive costs. This is the point in which Alaskans are most interested and one concerning which they would welcome a Httle en- tghtenment They would like 10 know the actual reason for the suT prices they are compelled to pay. To the ma lority of Alaskans the recent boost in
 transportation charges appears verlly like the traffic Will bear 30 effectively em- ployed by public service corporations
 before the days of interstate commerce commissions and government regulation Of prices
 Generally speaking. they assume the view that an increase of such propor- tons as recently effected Is unreasonable and unJustified. In the absence of ac- curate Knowledge of the conditions un- der which the transportation companies are operating the raise appears noth- ing more than an effort 10 profit by the unusual conditions created by the war by squeezing the public for every cent it can be made 10 disgorge. Not one Alaskan in hundre accepts the excuse of the shipping companies that increased costs of operation justines the additional charges as a reasonable ex- planation in view of the immense in- from Alaskan ports. To them it appears logical that an increase of traffic should naturally result in a lowering of trans portation charges instead of an increase
 According to all accounts the volume | of Alaskan commercial traffic shows a most decided growth in the past five years In some quarters it Is stated that this increase amounts to upward of fifty per cent While this may be an | the increase in the num- ber of commerce carriers plying between |

unostentatiously. The president of

of having some exercises in connec-

.Lnuond of hannbura ca..ls.

According TO legend. the ancient cas-
tie Of IiapSburg. overlooking the Rhine,
was founded In 1920 and was without
surrounding walls for defensive pur-
poses, a strange omission in those war;
like days. a friend coming to stay at
the castle 80 greatly deplored the alb.
sence of the usual defenSeS that its
lord declared that before sunrise on
the following morning his stronghold
would be surrounded by impregnable
walls. Naturally the visitor smiled
and did not believe that this thing
could come TO pass, but In the early
morning he was awakened by the lord
of the castle. who babe him look out
upon the walls He had kept his prom
ise, but in an unexpected way. In
stead of seeing Il surrounding wall
made Of stone, the visitor saw an un.
broken circle of the lords followers,
all in their armor and bearing weap.
ons. And 1t has since been the boast
of the IIapsburgS that the family's de.
voted subjects were sufficient defense
in no matter what emergency.

CHILD HAD BIG FALL.
But Got Only Lump On the Head AL
though Striking in Gutter

When the infant child of Mr. and Mrs.
Cesairo Maccari tumbled out of a second
story window OF the B. Tomasi block on
North Main street yesterday afternoon
and sustained no more serious injuries
than a bump on the head in falling on a
cement gutter walk, folks living near at
hand said that the child must have had
a golden spoon in his mouth. Others
thought he had a rabbits foot tucked
away somewhere in his mother hubbard.
But DR.. John II. Woodruff, who was hur-
riedly summoned to the Maccari apart
ment, found no traces of the spoon and
was inclined to scout the theory of the
rabbits foot, inasmuch as the child. on
account of the intense heat, was rather
scantily clad.
Internal injuries of any sort were like
wise missing and lusty howl from the
boy precluded the notion Of death that
the neighbors entertained. Just how the
little fellow happened to fall is not quite
clear. but he made known his plight soon
after landing on the cement. DIR. Wood
ruff applied some bslmy stuff on the
bumped pate Of the boy and gave it as
his opinion that the worst was passed.
The baby is under twenty months of
age.

SEC. LANE AT HEAD.
Of Commission to Try to Settle Mexican
Difficulties.

Washington, d. G., Aug. 23-Secretary
Lansing announced last night that the
American members of the joint commits
sion to undertake settlement OF differ
ences between the United States and
Mexico would be Franklin X. Lane, sec
retary of the interior, Judge George
Gray of Washington, Del, and DR.. John
r. Mott of New York City.
All of the commissioners have ac-
cepted their appointments, the Mexican
members were named some time ago anc
arrangements for their meeting will be
made Immediately by Secretary Lansing
and Eliseo Arredondo, General Carranza s
ambassador designate. Virtually, the
only question to be decided is where
the session shall be held. The Mexicans
are understood to prefer some resort on
the New Jersey coast.
Secretary Lane, who will head the
American group, was the first member
selected. Associate Judge Brandeis was
President Wilson's second choice, but
after a conference with Chief Justice
White he decided his duties would not
permit him to serve.

TEUTONIC DEFENSIVE
IN WEST TENACIOUS
Claim Made in Berlin Is That
the Russian Advance Has
Been Held Up Along the
Entire Front - Italians
Gaining Ground in Alpine
Region

Political developments in the Balkans
overshadow in interest for the moment
even the important military operations
there, but to-days dispatches throw lit
tie new light on the situation from either
political or military standpoints. In con-
nection with the attitude of Rumania,
the course of the Russian campaign in
Bukowina close to the Rumania frontier,
Is being closely watched. Latest advices
from Teutonic sources, however, declare
that the Russians are being held up by
the strength of the Teutonic resistance
along the entire front. On the western
front along the river Somme the British
continue closing in on Thiepval on the
left bank and apparently have Guile
mont on the right almost within their
grasp.

GRANGE AT PICNIC.
Five Organizations Met at Caledonia
Park for Outing.

| Fair skies and a not unfriendly sun at
tended the first annual Joint picnic OF
| five of the Washington county oranges
at Caledonia park Tuesday forenoon and
afternoon and aided in making the af-
fair a decided success Grangers to the
number OF 200 gathered from Montpelier
South Barre, Cobble hill. East Montpelier
and Shady Rill in Middlesex, many of
them coming by automobile. The public
was also invited and turned out in num-
bers to help the grangers enjoy what
promises to be a big annual event in the
years to come.
The crowd began to gather early in the
morning, many of them having risen
with the sun in order to get the chores
done and the cows out to pasture so that
they could get an early start, and not
until thoughts of milking again disturbed
them did they begin to depart. A vari
etv of sports and dance in the pavilion
with music furnished by Geddes' orches-
ira made up the program of events. \
ba sket lunch at noontime and a more
or less constant patronage of the soft
drink stands alone interrupted the pro-
oeedings.
In the afternoon a baseball game that
lasted six innings, was warmly contested
by the married and single men, the for
mer winning by score of 10 to 6. Aft
er the ball game series of races were
pulled off, the peanut and potato races
furnishing a good share of the amuse-
ment The former was won by Mrs. W.
d. Walker and the latter by Miss Ethel
Cooley. Mrs. Muzzy won the 50-yard
dash for women and Jason Bailey took
first place in the same event fer men. A
race for the girls was won by Miss Lors-

MEN GET UNEASY
OVER THE DELAY
Strong Minority at Their Meeting To-
day Tried to Demand Immediate Ac-
ceptance of Presidents Plan by
Railroad Heads.

Washington, d. c., Aug 23.--The rail.
road employees committee showed such
marked signs of unrest to-day at the de-
lay in the negotiations between Presi-
dent Wilson and the railroad executives
that the leaders of the men openly ex-
pressed fears OF their inability to hold
them much longer.
An employees meeting this morning
was thrown into an uproar by the
speeches of members representing a
strong minority which demanded imme-
date action unless the roads accepted
the presidents plan, but the leaders sue
ceeded in adjourning the meeting before
any vote could be taken. They said aft
erward that they believed the majority
is willing to give the president little
more time. Some of the men urged that
most of them go home, leaving the broth
erhood heads with authority to call
strike if the railroads do not accept the
presidents plan.

BRITISH HOLD FAST TO
THEIR NEW GAINS
Germans Delivered Two Heavy Assaults
on Newly Won Positions South of
Thiepval and Gained Foot
ing But Were Driven
Out Again.

London, Aug 23,-Two heavy assaults
on the positions newly won by the Brit.
ish south of Thiepval on the Somme
front were made last night by the Ger
mans. They gained footing in the
British trenches but were driven out
again, the war Office announces.
The story of the British capture was
told in last nights official statement as
follows:
Between Martinpuich and Bazentin
we wained further 100 yards of enemy
trenches. South of Guillemont we car
ried out q successful enterprise in the
enemy's lines and captured one of his
machine guns. Hostile artillery was
quieter to-day along our front"
In Guillemont the Germans cling to
their ground. although losing heavily by
British cannon fire.

For Reorganization of Bos.
ton & Maine R. r. After
Receivership Petition
$13,500,00 IN NOTES
DUE AUGUST 81
Directors Voted That Fur,
ther Extension of Notes
Is Inexpedient

Boston, Aug. 23.-Pending conference
among the numerous interests affected
no immediate action is expected to-day
in consequence of the petition for re-
ceiver for the Boston & Maine railroad
which was filed in federal court yester-
day. 1t is pointed out that il some. form
of reorganization can be agreed upon be-
fore August 81, when Sl3 5000 in notes
come due, it is possible that the directors
Twill reconsider yesterdays decision that
the further renewal of the notes is mex
pedient.
That there is no hope that a plan
which would meet the wishes of all the
leased lines could be evolved, is expressed
on all sides, however The next formal
step will be the filing OF the roads an
swer to the receivership's petition which
was made by the International Rubber
company of New Jersey.
The papers in the case, made a matter
of record to-day, showed that receiver
was asked on the ground that the com
pany's credit was so poor it cannot issue
bonds at a reasonable price and is unable
to raise money on short term notes to
meet outstanding obligations, which in
elude over $l3,000,000 Boston & Maine
notes and 81 800, 900 Vermont Valley rail.
road notes which are endorsed by the
Boston < Maine, falling due August 81.
Most Of these obligations had been ex
tended from time to time while awaiting
the outcome of plans for reorganiza tion.
After long meeting, the directors de-
cided they had reached the end of their
rope" in the words OF one OF their mum
Der, and issued the following statement
through President j. p. Hustis:
''ln the opinion OF the directors of the
Boston & Maine railroad it is inexpedient
to attempt a further renewal OF the
notes falling due August 81. A creditors
petition for receiver has been filed in
the United States district court, and in
due time the Boston & Maine will file
its answer thereto"
The leased lines, notably the Concord !
and Montreal and the Connecticut River
roads have been strongly opposed to a
plan for reorganization to which most |
of the other elements in the Boston & !
Maine system had asserted. This plan |
would have made the system single |
corporate entity, wiping out existing rem
tai charges some of which are claimed to
be excessive. Under receivership, such
eases may be broken by order of the
court.
The Boston & Maine railroad and it's
,6 leased or controlled subsidiaries oper-
Ited 2,3o0 miles of road, and 1900 miles
If track in Maine, Massachusetts,, New
Vermont, New York and
1anada.

ATTACKED LIKE A DOG.
Began to Chew His Victim About the
Neck

Hubbardton, Aug. 23.-Clifford Arch.
ambault of this town, took several bites
out OF the neck of Russell Bruso, also
of Hubbardton, and otherwise misused
his victim, and as a result is held for
county court on a charge of mayhem.
Archambault was arrigned yesterday be
fore Municipal Court Judge t. +. Pratt
of Fair Haven and pleaded not guilty.
States Attorney c. V. Poulin of Rutland
introduced sufficient evidence to warrant
holding the man for county court and
bail was fixed at 81 900 which was not
furnished.
Archambault arrived in town Monday
evening from Rutland, having come by
way of Lake Bomoseen and the stage.
When he mounted the steps of II. NJ.
Redfeld's store it was evident that he
was considerably under the influence of
liquor.
Producing bottle from his pocket
Archambault asked Bruso to drink with
him. Bruso declined and when Archam-
bault insisted he told the latter to go
away as he did not want any trouble
with him. This angered the drunken
man who struck his victim two or three
blows and then fastened his teeth in
Bruso's neck, munching away for some
time before a bystander, using the tao
tics employed to separate fighting bull
dogs, got strangle hold on Archam-
bault's neck.
Archsmbault was arrested by Consta-
bic Root on warrant issued by States
Poulin.
