ED, WOOD LOSES
 VALUABLE HORSE
DROPS IN A DEEP CREvAssE
Valuable Draught Animal Drops Out
 of>~Sight i'm Deep Crevasse In the
 Shoup Glacier-Was on Trail Over Which Much Freight Was Moved.

Ed Wood lost Diamond, valuable horse yesterday at Shoup Bay, the animal dropping into crevasse so deep that he could not be seen, ard from which there was not the slight est possibility of rescuing him.
 MT. Wood was taking the freight up on the glacier preparatory to mov- ing a large quantity of freight to the mines of the Valdez Gold Company. There was a well-beaten trail on the glacier and the animals were being taken up the face of the glacier at this point Diamond was the first to get up, and he was picketed in the trail. The men were engaged in bringing up another horse when sud denly it was discovered that Diamond was missing.
 An investigation revealed that the snow bridge covering the crevasse had given way, precipitating the ani- nal into the depth below. So deep was the crevasse that Diamond could not be seen, and it is presumed that he was instantly killed.
 The horse was a handsome animal and was worth not less than $500 and would be extremely difficult tc replace at that price.
 MT. Wood has a contract to move 16O tons of machinery and supplies for the Valdez Gold Company, and is making excellent progress with the work.

CITIZENS TICKET PROVES A WINNER
FIVE COUNCILnlEN CONCEDED
Ticket for Good Government and a Greater Valdez Meeting with Uni- versal Approval at the Hands of Voters-Ladies Vote in Numbers.

It is generally conceded this even- ing that the Citizens ticket is elected by a large majority. It is admitted by local politicians that with the pos sible exceptions of Charles Day and Charles McCallum, whose names were brought out on the opposition ticket, that the ticket for Better Government and a Square Deal has met with favor at the hands of our citizens, and that the agitators, who have wrecked our city the past year have been dealt a severe reprimand.
 The weather has been perfect and a large vote was boiled, the ladies be- ing out in force and casting their votes nearly unanimously for the Cit izens' Ticket.
 A report was circulated by the An nexationists last evening that if the Citizens Ticket went through that the Valdez Dock Company would gain control of the City Dock, but the at tempt to influence voters was so pat ent and the proposition so absurd that its effect was reactionary, and threw votes to the Citizens Ticket.
 The people of Valdez are to be con- graduated upon taking the reins of city government out of the hands of the e-Hubbard-Boyle gang and placing them again in the hands of taxpayers and men of known ability

HEAVY TRAVEL TO ,..
 THE NORTHIIAND

Reports from Seattle state that the boats scheduled to depart for Alaska points are sold out for three months in advance, and the demands for pas sage are still coming in.
 When the Farragut. sailed from Se- attle, on March 26, three hundred passengers for Anchorage had already been booked for her next voyage, when she will go through to the rail- road town. This same state of af- fairs applies to the steamers of the other lines, and steamship men state that the travel to Alaska this year will surpass that of any other year in the history of the Territory.

WEAVING A NET
 ABOUT KRAUSE SIX INDICTMENTS RETURNED Federal Officials are Confident of Se- curing Convictions OR Every Count Against Man Alleged to Have Mur. dered a Number of Men.
SIX INDICTMENTS RETURNED
Federal Officials are Confident of Se-

The government Is weaving a net about Edward Krause, the man who is alleged to have committed num- Der of murders in Southeastern Alas ka. While no indictment has been returned against him charging mur- der, two indictments charging imper- sonating an officer and four charging forgery have been returned against him.
 Sensational developments in the case can be expected. While the fed eral officials are taciturn as to the ex- act progress of the case and their fu- ture plans, they have expressed them selves as confident that the mass of testimony gleaned from several months of systematic investigation is ample to convict Krause on every charge contained in the series of in- dictments that are under constdera- 'tion.
 The cases for forgery will be tried separately. In these cases the law provides a sentence of from two to twenty years. After the first convic- Ition the trial judge is compelled to give the maximum of twenty years on each other count.
 At the reconvening of the grand jury tomorrow when some out of town witnesses will be present, an- other batch of seven or eight indict- ments will be brought, and the jury given another recess until the trial of some of the pending cases, bring ing witnesses from the States and from British Columbi who will tes- tify before the grand jury in the mur- der cases which the government is prepared to try along with 25 or 30 more cases at the earliest oppor- tunity.
 The sentence in the aggregate may mean 200 or soc years with no chance under the board of pardons to get parole until one of the sentences has been served.
 Relative to the general impression that seems to prevail anent the find 1 ing of body in murder cases, fed eral attorneys claim a body is not necessary as shown by numerous precedents in connection with crimes of similar character. Especially is this true of sea murders where bodies are seldom recovered.
 It is further intimated that advices have been received from the war de- partment that krause is subject to court martial charges, of nature SC serious that they may mean death o1 life Imprisonment before the mill. tary authorities, if taken up.
 In British Columbia the provincial department of justice is ready to ex. ltradite Krause, who under the name of George Hartman, is said to have forged a mortgage and filed the same tjn the public recorders office at Van couver. The punishment for each of fense in this case is life Imprisonment at hard labor.

HUGE CROWD WAITS

Stars Election Screen.
FAvORITES ARE CHEERED

For the second consecutive night
Washington thousands gathered in
front of The Star building to watch
the progress of the great presidential
"hoss race" as depicted on the two
screens on Pennsylvania avenue this
evening. The crowd, while not quite
as large as last night, was on tiptoe
with anticipation to see how one of the
most exciting elections within the
memory of man" was going to come
out.
1t was a great, orderly crowd, and be-
gan to gather on the steps of the Post
Office Department building as early as
s o'clock. Soon the two big screens in
front of The Star were in full swing,
and the crowd filled the great spaces
on both sides of the car tracks from
below 18th to 18th street, with barely
enough room left for the street cars to
pass up and down the Avenue

porters throughout the crowd, how
ever, in almost equal numbers and
they made Pennsylvania avenue ring
whenever bulletin on the screen
would show Hughes gain.
Close Race Tells on Nerves.
The unique opportunity of watching
election returns two nights in success
sion, with that great feeling of I'M
certainty about results which is one of
the charms of American politics, seemed
to make big appeal to the thousands
who stood and watched The Stars
screens on this second night. "Rah,
rah' boys were not much in evidence
this evening; men, women, boys and
girls. while all having good time.
were keen for results and concentrated
on the screens. The close race was be-
ginning to tell on the nerves of the
city.
A feature of the offerings on the
screens in the early evening was the
latest issue of the Pathe News, issued
in collaboration with The Star.
The crowd saw the Capitol receiving
its annual bath before the winter ses-
sion of Congress: the review of 5000
Canadian troops at Montreal; grammar
school girls in their annual regatta at
Oakland, Cal, and various other events
the world around. Then there were a
dozen reels of comics shown, through
courtesy of the Cosmos Theater.
Policemen had little to do besides
keep the car tracks clear. and set on
few excited gentlemen who got to
arguing about the results a bit too
heated1y.
1t was a great crowd.

Final Result in Doubt.
What the final result will be is much
in doubt. That the republicans might
overturn the slender democratic ma

opinion of republican leaders, very
probable. Democratic leaders, how
ever, insisted the House would remain
democratic.
Among familiar national figures to
return to Congress will be William E.
Mason, former United States senator
from Illinois. who was elected to the
House from his old state as a member
at large. Thus far none of the war
horses of either party was defeated.

while many democratic counties voted
