Perfunctory Elections
SOLDIERS DO NOT FALL FOR WlCK'S BLUFF

contest for seat in congress are pre- scribed by statute, and strict com pliance with the provisions of the statute are necessary in order to con- test any election.
 Section 105 of the Revised Statutes of the United States provides that whenever any person intends to con- test an election of any member of the house of representatives of the United States he shall, within thirty days after the result of such election shall have been determined by the officer or board of canvassers authorized by law to determine the same, give mo- tice in writing to the member whose seat he designs to contest, of his in tention to contest the same, and in such notice shall specify particularly the grounds upon which he relies in the contest. Section 106 of the Re- vised Statutes provides that the mem Der whose seat is thus contested shall have thirty days after the service upon him of notice of contest to answer such notice. The following section provides that the time allowed for taking dispositions shall be ninety days after the date of the filing of the contestee's answer upon the contes- tant.
 Either party desiring to take depo- sitions in contest must give written notice to the opposite party of the time and place of the taking of such dispositions, and the names of the wit nesses to be examined. This notice may be served upon the opposite party or upon any agent or attorney of the opposite party duly authorized. The notice must be served sufficient time in advance to allow the opposite party sufficient time, by the usual route of travel, to attend, and one day for preparation, exclusive of Sundays and the day of service.
 The following officers are author ized to issue subpoenas and take dep ositions: Any judge of any court of

and from the questions put to him 1t was evidently the intent to show that Deputy Marshal MOssman and Mrs. Mossman, who voted at Valdez at the last election, had voted illegally. In response to a question as to how MT. Mossman voted, Mir Brenneman stated that he did not know. He was fur ther questioned as to whether or not MT. Mossman was supporter of Charles A. Sulzer, to which he replied that he hoped he was, but could not swear to it. Some further questions were asked the witness as to the place of residence of Mr. and Mrs. Moss man, and the hearing adjourned.
 Right of Soldier to Vote
 Following the hearing Sergeant Odle was asked if he knew of any reason why he should have been excused from giving testimony after having been subpoenaed, and in reply he stated that on the Saturday evening preceding he had met Wick ersham on the street, and that in a conversation with him he had told MT. Wickersham that he was a Re- publican, and that MT. Wickersham had then told him to disregard the sub poena, and not appear at the hearing, apparently on the ground that if he had voted for Mr. Wickersham 1t was all right, but if he had voted for MT. Sulzer it was illegal. He did attend the hearing, however, and was ex- clsed by Wickersham's attorney.
 How Wick Formerly Stood
 MT. Odle further stated that he had voted at the last election, believing that he had right to vote; that this belief arose from the fact that he had been a resident of Alaska for many years, and also from the fact that in 1914 a representative of Mir. Wicker shad had assured the soldiers in the United States army at St. Michael that it was not only their right but their duty to vote.

the notice of contest required by law had been served, and upon whom, and when the notice of hearing as required by the statutes had been served. MT. Hamburger stated that he did not know, and MT. Reed said that he had no information to give out.
 MT. Reed requested that the record of the hearing show that he objected to MT. Dimond's appearing at the hear ing, declaring that the witnesses had no right to counsel.
 Contends Proceedings Are Void
 Mr. Dimond then stated that in his opinion the provisions of the statute governing contests in the house of representatives had not been compiled with, and that the whole proceeding was null and void, and that he would advise those witnesses whom he rep resented to answer no questions. He stated that these witnesses were ready and willing to give their testimony in any proceeding legally had, but that the present hearing was farce.
 Mir. Reed announced that he was ready to proceed with the hearing, and called Harry Shuts as the first witness. MT. Shuts refused to an swer to his name or to any further questions, and in like manner Emil Lains, A. A. .Kott, Charles Agnetti, w. J. Cuthbert, A. H. Tyler, Thomas F. Griffith, Burr M. Snyder, H. c. Cliff ton, William R. Rogers and H. Van Wyck were called and refused to an- swer.
 MT. Dimond then announced that in behalf of these witnesses he desired to enter protest against the entire proceeding. He declared that the is- suing of the summons was an abuse of Judicial process, and that Mir. Wick ersham was fully aware of the fact when he requested the issuing of the writs. To this statement Mir. Reed took an exception.

 At the opening of the hearing J. L. Reed announced that he represented MT. Wickersham, the contestant, and that he would excuse from the wit. nesses subpoenaed Captain M. H. Faust and Quartermaster Sergeant Charles Odle
 Attorney A. J. Dimond announced that he had been retained to repre- sent the witnesses subpoenaed, and before proceeding further with the hearing he would ask the officer issu- ing the subpoenaes on what authority the writs were issued.
 In reply MT. Hamburger stated that under the law governing contests a notary public has the authority to issue subpoenaes upon the application of either party to a contest; that MT. Wickersham had stated to him that he (Wickersham) had filed contest with the clerk of the house of representa- tives, and upon this statement the subpoenas had been issued.
 MT. Dimond then asked what fur ther proof, If any. MT. Hamburger had that the contest had been actually filed, to which MT. Hamburger replied that he had none.
 Proof of Contest Lacking
 MT. Dimond then requested that MT. Reed, as the representative of MT. Wickersham, produce proof that MT. Wickersham had legally filed con- test with the clerk of the house of representatives, as required by law. MT. Reed stated that he would offer no proof.
 MT. Dimond then stated that he was confident no contest had ever been filed by MT. Wickersham, and de- manded to know when and upon whom

SEAPLANE
 CREW OF FIVE .' ARE MISSING

WASHINGTON, May 19 (by Asso- ciated Press).-The naval seaplane NC23, one of the three craft which recently attempted the transatlantic flight, with her crew of five men, is missing. Warships are searching around the Azores in the hope that the empty gas tanks of the seaplane buoyed her up despite the heavy seas.
 The NC-1, another of the trio of sea- planes, was rescued and lowed to the Azores. Her crew were fatigued and seasick.
 The NC-4, which made the success full flight to the Azores, will proceed at once to Lisbon, and thence to Ply mouth.

Description of Craft


 Before hopping off, the aviators admitted that their chances of rescue in mid-ocean were slight, at least, and said they were putting everything into winning"
 Unlike the huge craft used by the American naval crews ip their recent flight to the Azores, the planes which scared out over the Atlantic yester- day were overland craft-nothing more. They have no pontooons to keep af1oat, nor permit towing in case of accident. They are small biplaEes of the scout type, Hawker's Sopwith having wing spread of 46 fet, with length over all of 31 feet, while Raynham's Martinsyde, resembling a bumblebee in flight, measures only Al feet across the wings, with a fuselage 26 feet long. Both carry single mo- tor, the Sopwith's being rated at $50 horsepower and the Martinsyde's at 275.
 Hawker's craft, rated at 100 miles an hour, was expected to attain 1O6 miles with it's undercarriage abandoned by an automatic releasing arrangement, while Raynham asserted his belief that his engine, capable of making 124 miles with normal load, would do 100 at least with the extra cargo of fvln1 for,
