MUCH FRAUD
 IN VOTING QUEER PROCEEDINGS
 FOUND BY COMMITTEE Out of Sixty-two Votes Cast in Afog- nak Not More Than Fifteen Cast by White I'ersOns-Furty-S Cast .Aleut>. Not Able to Talk English.
Special to Prospectorl'

ANCHORAGE. July 16.-Deposi- tions taken to the westward by com mittee Investigating alleged election frauds in the recent contest for dele gate show some exceedingly queer things allowed by election judges. Out of 62 votes in AfOgnak. not more than fifteen were white persons, while the record shows that 47 votes were cast for James Wickersham by Aleuts liv- ing under tribal relations. Thirty four of the voters were unable to read or write or understand the English language. a majority of which testi- fled that they voted for Wickersham; while others testified that Tauswick, an educated Aieut and Wickersham agent, went into the booths with them and made out their ballots, and that they had not the remotest idea for whom they voted. It was further as- certained that Tauswick was not a member of the election board and that fraud of the most brazen kind was practiced. It is certain that Afognak will be thrown out.
 Tn the contest at Seldovia it was found that twenty-seven of the voters were members of the Kenai tribe, liv- ing under tribal relations. and that they voted for James Wickersham for delegate; that they were rounded up from the villages by Wickersham agents and voted as these told them Most of them cannot read or write or understand the English language. They are certainly wild and woody savages, and photograph will be talk en of them and labeled "Wick's con- stituency at Seldovia," and forward ed to the election board as an exhib- it. It is almost certain that the evil dence of illegal voting will result in this precinct being thrown out. In these two precincts Wickersham had a lead of 7S votes.
 So much evidence of fraud in vot- ing has been secured by the commit tee taking depositions that it Is pos sible that warrants may be sworn out for those guilty of illegally voting the natives and they will be prosecuted.
 The dispatch states that the com- mittee is busily engaged in securing depositions from various precincts. and that they will make interesting reading when compiled

TACOMA MAN HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE

 FEET DOWN BLUFF
Car Driven by Mr. M. A. Howe, Pres- ident of Pioneer Bindery at Tacoma Goes Over Bluff at Rocky Point Occupants Are Uninjured.

While coming in from Fairbanks in company with wife and (. A. Schonacker of the Richmond Paper Company, a car driven by M. A.. Howe. president of the Pioneer Bind cry & Printing Company, of Tacoma, iumped the road at Rocky Point, "A miles out from Valdez, and plunged 400 feet down the mountain to the lake. blowing a clean path thru the alders and standing timber resemb- ling a cyclones wake. That the whole party was not instantly killed is due to the fact that the car was pointed straiEt down the hill and remained upright the whole distance, stopping just before it would have plunged in- to the lake at the foot of the preci- pice.
 MT. and Mrs. Howe left here week or so ago in their Ford car. on a business trip to Fairbanks. On their return they picked up Mir. (. A. Schonacker of the Richmond Paper Company who came back with them. All went we'll until the party reached the grade this side of the Summit, where the wheel struck stone in the trail, throwing the machine off the bank at right angles to the road. The party made it's way to Wortman's roadhouse, where they are awaiting the arrival of their machine. which will be pulled up to the road by the Road Commission team today.

WOMEN IN FRANCE TO
 HANDLE WAR TRUCKS

PARIS. July 16.-Between hun dred and fifty and two hundred wo- men soon will be driving military motor cars behind the front. Women have tried since the beginning of the war to enlist in the automobile ser vice. The "Feminin Automobile Club" was the center of this group and it had secured the signatures of sever al hundred of the thousand women in Paris who hold licenses to drive motor cars. The passive resistance of the different war bureau held them back until now.
 The women are obliged to enlist for three months and to agree to sub init scrupulously to military rules and discipline. They will in the begin ming replace motor ambulance drivers in the foreign sanitary sections who are transferred to other services. Lat CT on they may replace men in other automobile sections. The command ing officer of four military regions have made applications for women recruits to drive service cars.
