MINER KILLED
 ON I,INENGOOD

Word received in Fairbanks from Brooks is to the effect that Dan Foley, a miner, died Tuesday night from the effects of blow sustained when a bucket of dirt fell eighty feet and hit him. He was working i'll shaft 24O feet deep at the time, and was alive when brought to the surface, but passed away while prep arations were being made to bring him to the hospital here.
 Foley was prospecting a lease on No. 4 below on Livengood with Jerry Kennedy. It is understood that, while he was engaged in working in the shaft, some part of the hoisting ap- paratus which was being used broke, letting the bucket full of dirt fall on him. Practically every bone on the right side of the mans body was broken, according to the word received here.
 Foley will probably be buried at Brooks unless orders countermandlng such action are received from ldita- rod where the deceased is said to have a brother.

TWO PIONEERS OF INTERIOR
 DIE OUTSIDE

That Joseph and James Duke, pio- neer residents of Nenana, died within a month of each other at Hot Springs, Arkansas. is the word brought to Fairbanks from the new railroad town by District Attorney R. F.. Roth. The elder Duke died some time late in January, but James Duke. the better known of the two, died only last Sunday, his wife, who is at Nenana, having received a wire to that effect. The body of Joseph Duke was buried at Hot Springs i'm, mediately after he died, and James Duke was laid at rest at the side of his father, according to the wire received, at his own request
 But little can be learned of the history of Joseph Duke, the elder of the two men, It is stated, how ever, that he came to Alaska about 1903 and became associated with his son, who was the first white resi- dent of the now new and prosperous railroad town.
 James Duke established trading post at Nenana about 1902. Prior to that time he had had rather tempestuous career. He was first in Dawson in the early days of that camp, going later to the koyukuk country, where he got into trouble. He was placed in jail there, accord ing to general report, but at the mug gle of a gun which he managed to secure, forced the deputy marshal in charge to release him, and made good his escape. swimming the Roy ukuk river to do so.
 He lived off the country after leaving the Koyukuk and struck out for the Yukon. Arriving on the banks of the river, he heard of the Fairbanks gold stampede and started toward this camp, but winter caught

FALLS IN FIRE;
 BADLY BURNED

One of the matters of legal bUSi ness which took District Attorney r, r. Roth to Nenana was to ascertain the whereabouts of Chief Alexander, a Toloyana native who had been absent from Tolovana for twelve days at the time that Mr. Roth made the trip. He discovered when he ar rived at Nenana that the native had been found in an outlying camp by other natives and that he had been brought back to Tolovana, When found he was lying in fire. and il developed that he had fallen into it when he suffered stroke oi apoplexy He was badly burned, but just how seriously MT Roth was unable to ascertain before he left Nenana
 Prior to his departure for Nenana Mr. Roth received information to the effect that th6 natlVe Was lhlSSIhs. The matter of his absence from his home was of particular interest to the district attorney for the reason that Chief Alexander is the complain ing witness in a rape proceeding which is to come up at the next term of court The investigation was therefore made, as it was thought possible that foul play on the part of others interested might have caused his disappearance.

MAKE FURTHER GAINS;
 TAKE VILLAGE

LONDON, Feb 28.-The British forces on the French front resumed activities today with renewed energy and on a greater scale than at any time within the last few weeks. Ad yancing under curtains of fire that practically swept away German oppo- sition, the British troops took posses mecourt and captured two other small towns, Thilley and PuisieuXamount.
 Preparations for the advance on Gommecourt had been under way for more than a week, and great bat teries of artillery were massed to give the British forces every pro- lection as they went forward. The village itself occupies a commanding position on this portion of the battle front, and gives the British point at which to place long range guns to batter down the defensive trenches of the Germans.
 After the capture of Gommecourt several batteries of mobile artillery were rushed to this point, and under cover of fire from these guns the British troops advanced to posi- ton half mile northeast of the viii lage and held this position against counter attacks of the Germans.

FEDERAL ATTENTION NEEDED

Bisbee is deserving of better treat ment at the hands of the UnBed States attorney and his deputies. ln- stead of plantitudinous remarks, in speeches of the U. s. attorney or one of his assistants to attend to several cases O fclackers and to other cases which need the personal attention of the United States legal representa- tives.
 On the evening of July 3, James Cocoves, who is said to be Greek, made seditious remarks about the United States. He was held for sever al days and many attempts were made to induce the federal representative to either appear here or send one Of his deputies. After several days of eff forts Cocoves was liberated.
 Such cases need attention and if the United States attorney is too busy to attend them he should have additional aid. It is to be hoped that this con dition of affairs will be eliminated. When the need is pressing for the eradication of sedition. it should be handled at once. Tomorrow might be too late.

ite delay in enacting the war tax Dill further delay on the food control oili' and indefinite postponement or ad- iustment of congress. The revised sl. .67O. 100000 war tax bill was with drawn from the final vote on the liouor question to seek new sources of revenue in case taxation on distilled liauor is eliminated.
 Enormous withdrawal of distilled liquors from bonded warehouses be fore the senate provision could be- come effective was generally predicted today.
 The provision for government pur- chase of distilled beverages in bond offered by Senator Shoot, was added to the Robinson substitute after many senators had vigorously denounced as confiscation of distillers' property provision by Senator Cummins, Of Iowa. which proposed to prohibit With drawal of the warehouse stores.
 The twelve senators voting against the Shoot amendment were: Borah, Chamberlain, France. Hitchcock, owen, Reed, Simmons, of Georgie' Stone, Trammel. Vardaman and Walsh composing both ''wets" and "drys opposing the plan for divergent req sons.

Chairman Simmons said the further revision would depend upon the final action of congress as to eliminating distilled beverages a- a source O. rev, enue. Privately it was stated that to make up any loss in revenue from distilled beverages, it was probable that the taxes on beer and wines would be increased greatly and also possibly the taxes on incomes ana wal; excess profits.
 It was estimated that manufacturers and dealers probably could raise funds enough to withdraw at least half Or the existing supply, or enough to meet consumption demands for a year or more.
 One feature of the ibll as it now stands-the prohibition of the manu- facture of distilled spirits-will not be subject to change in conference and therefore is certain to become law.
 A resort to cloture still is threatened to hasten action on other disputed sec tions of the control bill. Senator Chamberlain tonight presented and then withdrew theoretically his clo- ture motion after failing to obtain consent to vote on the proposal Mon day.
 He was determined to dispose of the measure during the coming week. He announced he would introduce the cloture motion on Monday unless an agreement could be reached.
 Another day of impassioned speech es and five-minute limit, inside con gressional maneuvering and parlia- mentary jockeying proceeded the ac- tion on the liquor contest. The result was hailed as a partial victory by both "wets" and "drys." :roiiDiIfon a1- vocates were more elated. however, because they had won their fight to stop or at least greatly restrict con sumption as well as manufacture of distilled beverages.
 The "wets" were successful, how ever, in confining the senate's action to distilled beverages without inter- fering with beer and wines.

Speaking of settlement of the strike by mediation how about the Jerome strike? It was settled by med ation g. and agreed that there should be no trouble demands during the period of the war Yet per of these same Jerome miners went out on strike under the red flag of the w. w. month after the mediator packed his suitcase and left the town Mediation, judging by the Jerome sample, is a will-o-the-wisp. If it case of treating with reputable responsible labor organization would be diff
 ferent but to treat with the w w. is too much like taking cold rattlesnake to your bosom or warming dynamite on stove moorng the boat of your busi ness affairs with ropes of sand. Germany is seeking this same kind of mediation today in order that she crouch and eat and prepare for a longer spring.
