I'M, there was an exodus of tired and
weary representatives to their homes
or nearby resorts. Every single one
of the West Virginia members, ex'
cept Stuart F, Reed, beat it" for
home among the hills in that dear
old West Virginia to grab off q, few
days rest among familiar 0eenes and
friends. They have had a long stretch
of hard, combining and nerv-racking
work here and they felt the need Of
change even for just a few days
The third district congressman who
hasn't an established home since leav
ing Charleston, decided that hotel
life here and at Clarksburg offered
no advantages one over the other and
so he would remain here. Also, he
had some special work he needed to
do, and some preparations to make
for the near future when the House
will start up its machinery again
Senator Sutherland, of course Is here

DORA ARRIVES AFTER
 UNEVENTFUL VOYAGE

The steamer Dora, Captain John son, arrived this morning from the westward. At Chignik while at tempting to load something aboard some men fell into the water and members of the boat crew, including the captain, also got wet in the at tempt at rescue. Three men were in the water struggling at one time and one was hoisted out by means of a rope whose moose got around his neck instead of his shoulders. He was al- most hanged and he crumpled up on the dock. The following passengers came on the ship:
 For Seward: J. F. Bergen, Paul Fromberg, J. R. McCracken, J. R. Irish and Miss M. White.
 For Seattle: H. P. Crowthers, Joe McMillan, J. Brodbank, c. K. Gun ningham, E. J. Fribock, NJ. Josephism @ For Valdez: F. J. Cameron.

THE SEATTLE STORY

SEATTLE, Jan. 13. - sam Blum, the Valdez and Cordova merchant, fell three stories from the window in his office in the Pacific Building at 5:3O o'clock on Friday and died en- route to the hospital. The occurrence is believed to be accidental although the police say it was suicide. They back their argument by the fact that the window was forty inches above the floor and has forty inch ledge. There were no witnesses to the oc- cuyrence. J. NJ. Lathrop, owner of the Valdez Dock Company and a per sonal associate of Blum, is heart broken. He says Blum never made a complaint about his fire losses or any thing else although he had been seri- ously ill for several days. He is pos tive that Mir. Blum tainted and fell through the window. The two men were standing at the open window . moment before the accident. Lathrop went into his own office for minute and on re-entering the Blum office Blum was gone. Because of the brief period he was away Lathrop feared the worst and he rushed to the street to find his friend dying. All the friends of Blum scout the suicide theory. There was no reason for such an act, they say. His credit was unlimited and his business was sound.

BLUM'S DEATH
 AN ACCIDENT
SUICIDE THEORY SCOUTED SAYS VALDEZ PROSPECTOR
 IN CABLE TO GATEWAY.

VALDEZ, Jan. 12.-J. NJ. Lathrop has confirmed the news that Sam Blum of this city met his death acci- dentally today in Seattle by falling from a third story window The oc- currence was purely accidental anu the suggestion that he committed sui eide is secuted by everyone. He was dictating a letter to stenographer at the time and feeling faint he went to the open window for air. As he reached the window he tainted and fell through it to the street. The suggestion that he committed suicide came as a result of the fact that he had suffered severely by the fire but the truth seems to be that worry and work resulting from the fire caused the faintneSs which brought about his death.

ALL NOW DEPENDS ON RETURNS

The result of the delegate election depends on the Brso Bay returns which arrived sealed the Dora this morning be forwarded to the clerk of the court at Valdez The people the Dora were unable to learn the result of the up there The boat got the mail ncud ing the sealed returns, at Cold Bay but the man who brought them to Cold Bay had left before the Dora rived there He had waited for twenty-five days and dur ing that time gave information of the results to the only white man living there That the result of the elec

THAW RECOVERING
 IS READY TO FIGHT

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-Harry Thaw is recovering from his wounds, notwithstanding the first reports of the doctors, and he is now mobilizing whole army of lawyers to fight ex- tradition to New York. It is thought now that New York attorneys will start an investigation into his sanity and have him committed to a Phila- delphia asylum. He refuses to make further comments on the charges lev elled against him but is too weak at present to take much interest in his surroundings and his position.

FAIRBANKS EDITOR
 IS SENT TO JAIL

In commissioners court yesterday afternoon G. Hinton Henry, editor of the Free Press, a local publication, was tried before a jury and convict en on charge of libel. The verdict in part follows: "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty as charged, with a recommendation of mercy." Henry was sentenced to serve 120 days in jail and pay the costs of the case. The case will be appealed to the dis trict court. Commissioner Heilig fixed the bond at $1,OOO, which will probably be arranged for by this morning.
 The charge was brought by N. R. King and was caused by an article which appeared in the Free Press a short time ago, stating that some of the subscribers papers had been stol- en, and that if Mir. King was too cheap to buy a paper he would be presented with one. The defense set up was that the article does not con- stitute libel, and that it was simply an offer on the part of the editor to present MT. King with a copy of his publication.-Citizen.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The American and Mexican members of the Mexican commission will hold an other joint meeting next Monday in New York and then may come the crisis in the relations between the two countries. It is believed certain that the intention to send AmbasSa- dor Fletcher to Mexico City will not be carried out as the actions of Car ranza are no longer regarded as indi- eating a desire to smooth over the difficulties.
