CONGRESSMAN SAYS SULzER
 DID THE WORK
Congressman from Colo. rado Gives Alaska Dele gate Credit for AS- SeSSment ReSO-
 IutiOn.

The Dispatch tries to prove that Delegate Sulzer had nothing to do with the passage of the resolution eliminating assessment work on min ing claims by the House of Repre- sentatives.
 Representative Edward T. Taylor, of the Fourth Colorado Congression- al District, Glenwood Springs, Colo rado, if he is at home, and Washing the sessions of Congress, and MT. Sulzer managed this resolution in the House of Representatives. MT. Tay- Tor, when told that some of the Wick ersham supporters out in Alaska had said that MT Sulzer had had nothing to do with the resolution, said to a representative of The Empire: MT. Sulzer had everything to do with it."
 MT. Taylor and MT. Sulzer got it into shape and through the com mittee.
 The resolution was reported by MT. Taylor, but MT. Sulzer aided in the preparation of the report, which con tains much of the language of the petition for it's passage signed by President Charles Goldstein of the Juneau Commercial Association.
 MT. Sulzer's statement at the Coli scum agreed exactly with that of MT. Taylor. He said that he and Mir. Taylor managed the measure in the committee and prepared the report on it.
 MT. Sulzer also got the approval of the Interior Department for it.
 The resolution was sure of pas sage after it got through the com mittee and right of way was pro yided.
 It is true that Mr. Sulzer left Washington early in September for New York, where he was called by the sudden death of his eldest brother, John Sulzer. He remained there for time after his brothers death with his aged mother He then returned to Washington, where he had conference with MT. Taylor,
 
 and later came back to the coast. It is true that his then Secretary sent telegram or two about the first of October to which he signed the name of MT. Suizer after the latter had left for the Pacific Coast. The telegrams however, stated the exact truth about the progress of the resolution, and told the truth concerning MT. Sulzer's activity in connection with it. Wickersham Says Resolution Is Not Effective Word comes from Anchorage that Judge James Wickersham says the resolution is void in AlasI He also made that statement at Fair banks where he devoted a good deal of time to it. His statements have raised doubt in the minds of some people as to whether or not they have forfeited their rights to claims because they have not done the as- sessment work.
 Interior Department Disasrees With Wickersham
 The Interior Department, however. has ruled on this matter, and it has ruled that the resolution is effective in Alaska, and that assessment work is not required to hold claims in Alaska at the present time. This ruling is being followed generally throughout the Territory. and people are not doing assessment work.

STRUCK BY THE
NIGHT MAIL TRAIN
DR.. John w. Wesley Critically Injured
at the Portland Street Crossing

AS Dir. John w. Wesley was driv-
ing to make. call in Concord early
this morning his car was struck at
the Portland street crossing by the
night mail south and the doctor was
critically injured. The train was so
minutes late and it is supposed that
he did not expect a train at this time.
At just 2 o'clock the train came along
and caught his car on the crossing.
The car was thrown nearly 20 feet
and DR. Wesley was thrown almost
as far, landing in a badly bruised
condition on the sidetrack.
The train was stopped as soon as
possible and the train hands came
back and picked up the body. DR..
Wesley was taken at once to Bright
look hospital, where this morning an
X-ray examination was taken. The
doctor found fracture of the pelvis,
both front and back, and DR.. Wesley
is in a critical condition. 1t will be
impossible to determine just yet the
further extent of his injuries and his
many friends hope to hear more fa-
vorable report from him Saturday.

With the British-American Forces
in the Field, Correspondence of The
Associated Press)-German soldiers
on the British sector of the western
front evidently were not as well off
in the matter of food as their BROTH
ers who fought on the French and
Americani sectors. The correspond

Valencienncs, for example, that the
soldiers food consisted largely of
black bread, pork fat and raw tur-
nips.
In the St. Mihiel section, on the
other hand, the Germans has biscuit

SINKING OF THE
4 LEON GAMBETTA
"Nous Autres, Nous Resterons, the
Watchword of the French Navy

About midnight on the night of
April 26 u, 1yl5, the lookout on
the Leon Gambetta reported sail
ing vessel approaching the cruiser.
She was evidently bound for the
!Adriatic, and this called for an exami-
nation of her papers by boarding
officer. A boat was lowered for this
s;pose, erd Captain Andre of the
nbetta was awaiting the return
of his ffcer, when, at twenty min
utes after midnight, the war-ship was
struck By a torpedo, which penetrated
the dynan Groom and instantly
plunged the vessel into darkness.
A few seccrds later second torpedo
exploded il one Of the boiler-com-
partments. The engines stopped and
the cruiser began to settle On the
bridge Captain Andre gave his orders
to assure the safety of his men, while
he himself quietly awaited death. at
his post of command. For the ma
jority OF the ships company, there
was little hope of rescue, the explo-
sion of the first torpedo having dis
abled the wireless, thus preventing
the sending out of the S. o. S. call.
Only few of the boats could be
lowered, owing to the heavy keel of
the cruiser and these were soon filled
with men, "Be steady, my children"
|called ou1 the captain. "The boats
are for you! We officers will re-
main!' Ferfect discipline reigned to
the last moment The men quietly
obeyed the orders of their officers,
who seemed to be everywhere, en-
couraging and assisting the sailors.
Slowly the great cruiser began to
heel. Rafts, spars, and other float
ing material were thrown overheard,
and those who could not find places
in the boats were ordered to save
themselves on them if they could.
Courage! We die together!" rose
the cry from the bridge, where Ad-
miral Senes, Captain Andre, and their
officers were still cinging to the
bridge-rail. Then the Leon Gam
beta turned and disappeared beneath
the waves amid cries of "Vive la
France!' from those on board
+ Not an officer survived the disas-
ter. Out Of a total complement Of
1921 souls, GA brave officers and men
were lost. The conduct of every man
of the los.c cruiser had been heroic,
that Of .tl.eir officers magnificent.
