The Nome daily nugget. (Nome, Alaska) 1906-1918, 1916-04-17

In past years the postofice at Ne
mana has been an unimportant one
but owing to the government rail-
road activities It IS probable that
the volume Of business will in
crease greatly during the coming
summer. The government town
site at Nenana has been surveyed
and it is believed the government
vii hold it's sale of lots next sum-
mer. in which event the popula-
ton and postal business would in
crease accordingly.
The people of Fox, a town OF
five hundred on the Tanana rail
road, lost their entertainment and
dance hall during the recent
heavy fall of snow when the roof
caved in. The hall was erected
by the people of Fox at the cost
of $4,000 and was in charge of a
committee which appears to have
been dilatory in their duties. The
fire hall also caved in because the
snow had not been removed from
the roof.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-03-08
SKETCH OF BARRE'S MAYOR.
Robert Gordon, Native of Scotland, Has
Resided in Barre 27 Years.

Eighteen years financial secretary of
Clan Gordon, No. II, O. S. c., and for
upward of a quartercentury lathe
operator and granitecutter with his kit
never once removed from the stoneshed
where he began work when he came to
Barre. Robert Gordon, Barre's new may
or, is known by his associates in the
shop and in the fraternity as man of
parts and thoroughly conscious of re-
sponsibilties. He is 45 years old. a ma
tive of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, who
came to America 30 years ago and lin
gered only three years in Boston before
he found out that Barre offered more
opportunities for a man of his vocation.
He came to this city in 1889 and, having
learned the granitecutter's trade, began
work in the plant of Mcdonald & Buch-
an in the south end. There he has re-
mained. even though the founders of the
business have passed away. When the
plant passed into the hands of f. c.
Glysson, Mr.. Gordon's services were re-
tanned.
In Clan Gordon he has been an active
figure for a long time. The fact that he
mas been returned each year TO an office
that is admittedly exacting is evidence
of his capabilities. Mayor Gordon's
other fraternal afiiliation has TO do with
Masonry. His interest in the Socialist
party began a number of years ago and
he has been the party candidate for
mayor several times.
The mayor has five children. Douglas
Gordon, the only son. is employed in the
~ -
in Lynn. Mass. Miss Mary Gordon Is a
teacher in the schools Of Danville and |
Misses Jean, Georgia and Helen Gordon I
are students in Spaulding high school. 1
Niavor Gordon's first wife. 70 whom ne 1
was married in 1898. died some years /
ater. He was married to his present |
xife in 1901. The mayors address is
I22 Orange street.

HOUSE ALSO VOTED
TO BACK WILSON
Seven Hours of Turbulent Debate Re
suited in Overwhelming Defeat of
the McLemore Resolution.

to acknowledge that it stands behind him

many.
To the rallying cries of "Stand by the
president" and rs it Lansing and VIII
son or Won Bernstorff and the kaiser 2 y
a big Democratic majority and nearly
half the Republicans in the House three
times rolled up overwhelming votes
against the movement to warn Amerl-
cans off the armed merchant ships OF the
European belligerents.
The celebrated NIcLemore resolution,
around which the anti-administration
forces centered their fight, was tabled,
in other words, killed, just as was the
Gore resolution for similar purpose in
the Senate last week.
From the very outset of the fight yes
terday, the presidents supporters, with
out regard to party swept over the OPP
position.
On the first vote, which was parlia
mentary proposition to prevent opening
the McLemore resolution to amendment
and unlimited debate, the administration
forces carried the day 256 to 100. On
that l92 Democrats, % Republicans and
one Progressive voted TO support the adj
Twenty Democrats, 1872
five Progressives, one Inde-
pendent and Representative London, the
loan Socialist of the House, voted against
il.
This was the crucial vote of the fight,
the one point on which administration
leaders were uncertain. With victory in
hand they moved on TO the next PROPOSE
tion, the adoption Of a special rule for
four hours discussion of the MeLemore
resolution.
Again they carried the day, 27l to 1873,
and then pushed their victory to a con-
elusion by tabling the McLemore reso-
luton 276 to l42.
In seven hours Of tense. turbulent ses-
sion in which the administration oppon- I
ents charged that the president was CON 1

GIVING IN DETAIL
THE CAUSE OF MOVE
House Went on Record with
Senate by Laying on the
Table the McLemore Reso-
luton to Warn Americans
off Armed Ships of Bel
ligerents

Washington, D. c., March s.-Count
| Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
to-day at the instruction of his govern
ment handed to Secretary of State Lans
/ ing long memorandum explaining IN
detail the German position in regard to
armed merchant ships and the causes
leading up to the decision of the central
European powers to torpedo without
warning all armed merchantmen of their
enemies.
Secretary Lansing and Ambassador
Won Bernstorff declined to divulge the
contents. IL is understood, however, to
consist of the allegation that Great Brit
ain had taken advantage of the conten-
tion of the United States that Americans
must be safe on defensively armed mer-
chantmen to have these ships act often
sively toward enemy submarines.
The German government, it is under
stood, comedies chat as the submarines
are new engines of warfare international
law, as at present constituted, makes no
provision for their use, but is willing
to operate its submarines in accordance |
with international law prevailing prior
to the war, providing Great Britain does
not violate the same law.

Horace N. Hollister Died at Home OF
Daughter, Mrs. w. J. clapp.

| his daughter, Mrs. w. j. Clapp, l35
| Washington street, this morning at 5:35
o'clock Death coming unexpectedly, al
though Mr.. Hollister had been in indif.
ferent health for some years, was due TO

BRYAN'S COMMENT.
Is That There Was Little Significance in
Vote of House.

Columbus, o., March Accommodating
upon yesterdays vote n Congress, for.
mer Secretary of State Bryan, who de-.
liyered a lecture here last night, said.
"The question was presented in such
way that there is little significance in
the vote. 1t does not represent the senti-
ment of Congress as to the wisdom of
Americans travelling upon belligerent
merchantmen. Had this question been
presented and the opinion of Congress
asked upon it, there is no doubt the ma
jority OF both houses would have ex-
pressed themselves in favor Of preventing
Americans travelling into danger zones on
helligerent ships. If this action of Con-
gress helps the president to reach
peaceful settlement of the controversy,

SAVING OF BABIES.
Barre Enters Into Campaign--Dr c. X.
Johnson Spoke Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon in Howland hall
DR.. c. X. johnson of Burlington spoke
before the woman's club and guests on
the subject of Infant Mortality" His
talk was one of the features incident TO
the baby week campaign being conducted
by the Barre Womsn's club, and was de-
serving of much larger audience than
greeted him.
The death rate of children under one
year of age is a subject that is causing
much concern to those who are in posi-
tions to know its extent. The govern
ment is doing its part to better condi-
tions and this call for the clubs belong
ing TO the National Federation of Wom-
ans Clubs to conduct campaigns in be-
half of baby is the first appeal for as
sstance of this kind that the government
has ever made to the clubs. Thus it is
plain why the club in Barre is carrying
on this work at this time.
DIR. johnson is an authority on chill
dren's diseases and care, and stated many
important facts, as well as giving much
OF advice and counsel as to how the lit
tie ones may be kept we'll. The work
must be carried on mainly in an eduea-
tional way.
Some OF our leading merchants have
generously and in large measure aided
the club by placing excellent exhibits
in their windows of articles beneficial and
necessary to the care of these little peo-
pie. Endeavor to see these exhibits if
possible.
On Friday evening at o'clock in How
land hall DIR. Dalton, secretary of the
state board of health, win give lee
ture on "Baby Hygiene" This lecture is
free and open to the public. There should !
De a large attendance, not only of fa-
hers and mothers but Of all our citizens. |
These things concern the public health |
conditions of our community, and the
tate provides officials who are authority
m certain topics to assist the people.
Is it not the duty of the individual to
axe the opportunity to learn? Come

CHURCHILL MAKES DEMAND
For Fishers Return to Head Admiralty
Administration.

London, March S. Winston Spencer
Churchill, former first lord of the ad-
miralty, sprang back into the parlia-
mentary arena yesterday in daring
speech answering First Lord of the Ad-
miralty Balfour. who had just presented
the naval estimate, and declaring that
the admiralty lacked driving force and
must be revitalized before 1t was too late
bv bringing back Lord Fisher, the former
first sea lord, to head the admiralty
administration.
Great interest attaches to Colonel
Churchills temperance after a period Of
silence while serving with the army and
while the naval policy he had inaugural
ed at the opening of the war was under
going considerable change.
Mr.. Balfour had Just concluded an Opti-
mistic statement OF the naval outlook
which strongly appealed to the patriotic
sentiments Of the House Of Commons. so
that Colonel Churehill's criticisms were
at first coldly received. But he gradually
gathered attention and applause, until he
closed amid a scene Of much enthusiasm.
He referred 20 his remarks as "a jar

Vermont voted overwhelmingly against
statewide prohibition and accepted the
direct primary law by a smaller majority
at the referendum held throughout the
state yesterday. Thirteen of the II
counties went strongly against prohibit
tion and rolled up a majority of 1866
against the law which was to go into eff
feet May /, 1916, in case of favorable
vote, and on May /, 1927, if the vote
should be unfavorable yesterday. At the
same time, % cities and towns, voting
under the local option law, decided to Ii
cense liquor selling.
ALI the larger cities voted in favor of
license, Barre joining Burlington and
Rutland in that designation after many
| years in the "dry" column. st. Albans,
Bennington, Colchester and Swanton are
the other large communities which voted
for license. Most of the others of the %
are small towns and in many of them
licenses will not be granted, it is ex-
pected, in spite of the "yes" vote. Rut-
land county leads with five license towns,
Rutland, West Rutland, Castleton, Fair
Haven and Mount Tabor Bennington,
Chittenden and Essex Counties each have
three, as follows: Bennington, Pownal
and Searsburgs Burlington, Colchester
and Shelburne, Brunswick, Canaan and
Norton. In Washington county, Middle
sex joins with Barre; in Franklin county
Swanton is with St. Albans and in Addi-
son county Shoreham and vershire voted
alike. Jay in Orleans, Somerset in Wind
ham and South Hero in Grand Isle COM
plete the list of license towns, and it
would not be surprising if none of the
three has a licensed saloon.
Ten counties returned majorities in
favor of the direct primary law, with the
other four giving small majorities
against. Addison, Bennington, Caledo-
MIA, Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, La
moille, Orleans, Washington and Windsor
were for the law and Essex, Orange,
Rutland and Windham were against it.
The total vote cast yesterday was sew
sral thousand short of the vote cast in
The 1oo3 referendum, when Vermont ac-
,epted the local option liquor law after
lalf a century of prohibition. The rea-
ION was perhaps to be found in the fact
hat a March blizzard ragged during the
,-eater part of the voting hours, thus
zeeping many from going to the polls.
