CHARLES SCOTT DIES IN
 SEATTLE :.

Thos. S Scott is in receipt of cable conveying the sad information of the death at Seattle yesterday morning of his only brother, Charles Albert Scott This news will be re- ceived with sincere regret by large circle of friends and acquaintances in the towns on Prince William Sound, where Judge Scott was so well and favorably known during his short re- sidence in Alaska
 Born at Corydon, Indiana, 42 years ago, Charley Scott came west with his parents, who settled at Seattle in the early nineties. His father soon be- came a leading attorney and for sev- eral years was corporation counsel of Seattle. Charley took a position in his office as assistant, which he re- tained and creditably filled for 12 years. He then came to Valdez in 1911, and practised law there for about year. He accompanied the first floating court" to the westward and looked after the interests of de- fendants.
 In August, 1912, Judge E. F. Cush- man appointed MT, Scott as U. S. com missioner and recorder at Cordova. He removed to our town with his sis ter, Miss Dora Scott, and during the few months that he retained the office won the respect and high esteem of all with whom he came in contact. He later resigned. and with his sister. re- moved to Seattle, where he opened a law office and entered into general practice
 Judge Scott is survived by a de- voted brother and sister. but by his many sterling qualities he made and retained a host of sincere friends, who will grieve over the departure of a lovabio and upright man.

LONDON. May f. - Returning from an unsuccessful raid on the coasts of England and Scotland, the Zeppelin L-2O last night fell at Hafso Firth, Norway. and was wrecked. The crew of sixteen men was rescued by the Norwegian authorities and interned.
 The L-20 was one of the five air ships which last night attacked Eng land. Unfavorable weather and accu- rate fire by the British anti-aircraft guns forced the retirement of the squadron. On the return voyage the L-2O ran short of gasoline. It was driven eastward and hurled against the side of a mountain, where it was completely wrecked.

OUTLINE OF THE GERMAN NOTE
 RECEIVED

WASHINGTON, May 1. - Secretary Lansing today announced the receipt of dispatch from Ambassador Ger ard, containing indications of the con tents of the German reply to the United States note in regard to sub marine warfare
 Lansing refused to make any part of the dispatch public, nor would he give any indication as to whether or not the reply would prove acceptable to the administration.
 The general opinion among the dip lomatic corps here is that the reply, while it may not prove to be all that the American government asked. will concede enough to avoid any rupture between the two governments.

It also provides for the use of Mexican railroads for the transportation of supplies to the Ann erican troops.
 No definite time is set for the re- turn of the [. s. soldiers, but it is understood they will cross the line again as soon as conditions in North ern Mexico are such that the Carrauza troops can preserve order, and guar antee the safety of American border towns

The following account of the Re publican convention at Seward was written by a delegate from the Third division, and enters fully into details, showing the ruthless manner in which Shackleford overrode the only oppo- sition offered to his program:
 The history of the recent Republ- can territorial convention at Seward and it's preliminaries seems worth em- balming while it is fresh. Everybody climbed on the band wagon construct ed last winter in Seattle and chiefly owned there except about three fourths of the delegates from the Third division, who refused all over lures to make the thing unanimous. The convention was merely the rati- fication of a Seattle slate, framed up like this
 Numerous conferences were held in Seattle last winter by several men who spend more than half their time in the states for the purpose of mak ing slate for the Republican party of Alaska in 1916 Long before the program was complete the under standing with some of Delegate Wick ersham's friends was arrived at pro viding for the nomination of the dele gate as the Republican candidate for congress.

 The precise terms of the agreement for the nomination of Judge Wicker sham are disputed and uncertain. Judge Widkersham denies that he ever made any agreement or arrangement with MT.

Russell. of Juneau. being the chief agent of the delegate, it was stipulated that Judge Wicker sham should pledge himself not to in terfere with federal patronage, office distribution being left to Mir Shackle- ford as general broker for the Repub- licans of Alaska.

 It is undisputed that after the elec tion of delegates to the Seward con vention on March II, in which many Shackleford delegates had been elect ed by the support of Wickersham men, direct demands were repeatedly made upon Delegate Wickersham that heI pledge himself in some unequivocal way to keep his hands off federal pat ronage and leave that wholly to Mir Shackleford.
