Lewis Faction Counts on
Carrying Is; Patronage
Cry Raised by Both Sides
Clergy for Governor
Thirty.nine Brooklyn Pastors
Already Have Indorsed
His Candidacy

The friends Of Governor Whitman in
Brooklyn predict that they will carry
sixteen Of the twenty-three Assembly
districts, in the governorship pri-
maries. They concedc the 4th, 9th,
18th, 18th, Goth, 21st and 29d to At
torney General Lewis.
The Lewis men, led by Election Com
missioner Jacob A. Livingston, claim
fifteen of the twenty-three districts
and they assert that three of the eight
they concede to the Governor are prop
erly in the doubtful column, giving
the Governor and Controller Travis
only five certain districts. the I'd. 9th,
11th, 18th and 21st.
The familiar charge that "the other
side" is using patronage to influence
district leaders is heard from both
camps. Attorney General Lewis yes
terday appointed Charles S. Amsel, Of
the 9th Assembly District, friend Of
Jacob A. Livingston, Deputy Attorney
General, at salary of $4,000.
Patronage Cry Raised
To Offset the argument of the Whit
man men that this was using patron
age for Lewis, they asserted that the
Governor would soon bring about the
appointment of district leader or
his right hand man to place in the
Office Of the State Farms and Markets
Council. The friends of the Governor
said last night that the week had been
good one for them and they pointed
to the Endorsement Of the Governor by
the thirty-nine clergymen, the greater
number of whom are Brooklyn pastors
occupying leading churches in their
respective denominations.
"If l we're in the Governors place"
said Senator Albert Ottinger, of the
upper West Side Senate district, yes
terday at the Republican Club, 81 would
place the utmost emphasis on the good
fight made by the Republicans to ward
off the encroachments of the Federal
government. In normal times no po-
litical party in its senses would at
tempt to aggrandze to the Federal
government Niagara Falls and the wa
ter power Of the Empire State. The
Federal government is trying to bring
this about, as we'll as to take over the
barge canal. 1t is pure Federal ag-
grandizement.
"Again, believe that the Governor
would win great many votes by bold
ly attacking the Democrats for their
pronounced drift toward socialism.
Senator Wagner introduced and fought

cial enrolment of women on May rs.
The percentage Of women voters in

double that of the men enrolled. The
order was reversed in the Socialist
party. there being more than three
times as many men enrolled as women.
The total women enrolment was
2s3, 1878. including 4,3o7 blank or de-
fective ballots. OF this total 164.722
chose the Democratic emblem and 9e,-

Rhodes had a lease on the auditor

FAMOUS PLAYERS
DRAMA TOMORROW
Pauline Frederick Will Make Her
Appearance At Coliseum In
Strong Attraction.

Pauline Frederick, one of the most
talented stars in the movie world,
will make her appearance at the
Coliseum tomorrow night in the
Famous Players Film company's
pictorial presentation of the cele-
brated drama, bella Donna" AS a
novel and play, this drama created
one of the greatest sensations of
the present literary and dramatic
epoch. AS a photoplay it will I'M
doubtedly be recorded as one of
the most powerful emotional dramas
ever presented on the screen In
the famous role of the alluring
and treacherous Bella Donna, whose
soul contains all the passion of the
Orient and whose impulses are as
exotic as the rose itself, Pauline
Frederick has suggested a creature
of rare fascination and unusual
power. Beautiful and cruel, ire
sistible and pitiless, she plays with
life and love until the inevitable
moment of reckoning arrives, when,
spurned and outcast, she passes out
into the black night, across the grim
desert, into the nowhere. The Fa-
nous Players Film company's i'm
pressive photo-production of this
materpiece faithfully illustrates the
Oriental splendor of atmosphere and
the mystical environment in which
the greater part of the action tran
spires, and provides Miss Frederick
with a role in which she far eclipses
her previous record of achievement
as the foremost emotional artistic
of the screen.
Feature prices will prevail, fifty
cents for general admission and six
bits for reserved seats. The show
will start at eight o'clock.
Geo. W. Pennington, director of
the Four Minute Men in Nenana,
will address the audience during the
last intermission.

WAGONS WILL Be
USED ON TRAILS
SOUTH Of TOWN
Wheeled Vehicles Are Being Pre-
pared For Use Beyond the
End of Steel

Arrangements are now under way
for the early resumption of freight
ing from Camp 9 (20-mile) to the
more remotely situated camps of
the Alaskan Engineering ocmmis-
sion, and the wagons necessary for
this purpose have already been over
hauled and put in shape for i'm
mediate service. Considerable work
yet remains to be done ere the
trails could be made fit for wheeled
traffic, and, as this work will be
taken in hand at once it is expected
that the wagons will be on the run
in a few days. In the meantime,
to serve the needs of the camps
beyond Residency 8 (35-mile) and
to keep the mail moving as regularly
as before, small pack train has
been established and is now regu-
larly carrying the mail and such
of the supplies as are urgently
needed.
With the resumption of freight
ing with wagons, it is probable that
the pack train will be permanently
stationed at Residency A (43-mile)
for the purpose of moving material
and supplies for the camps to be
established further along the right
of way, and also to the camps of
the contractors who will have grad
ing contracts later on.
From Residency to Ignite and
beyond there are no wagon roads,
and all the work of freighting will
have to be done by the pack train
for some time to come. The road
from Residency 3 to points beyond
and up to Nenana Crossing for some
distance, follows the meander of the
Nenana river, much of the erstwhile
trails are said to be navigable now,
although the warm weather now ex-
perienced, will, it is expected, soon
put them in shape for freighting on.

WILSON IS READY
TO SET Up CAMP
Contractor Has Been Waiting For
Snow to Disappear From Ground
Out the Line.

Mr.. c. Herbert Wilson, who had
recently completed a large grading
contract near Residency (35-mile)
has been awarded a contract to
clear section of the right of way
about four miles beyond Residency
a (43mile) and left yesterday for
the place chosen for his new camp
for the duration Of the contract.
Mrs. Wilson will probably join him
as soon as camp has been made and
everything made snug and ship
shape
The contract was awarded Mr.,
Wilson of the 21st of January last,
the piece of right of way to be
cleared being from Station 17410
to 17499 (Weir's location). The
timber in this section of the country
is fairly thick and owing to the
depth of the snow covering the
country until recently, the work of
clearing could not be taken in hand
earlier. There is still much snow
remaining in the woods, though it
is rapidly disappearing. and Mr..
Wilson figures that he will be able
to commence clearing work and rush
it to completion without much
trouble from this cause.
