EIectrOcuted

Chester l. Vaughan, an employee OF
the Electric Company of New jersey,
was electrocuted on Saturday while
working for the Company at Woods
town.
Vaughan was at the top of a pole
doing some repair work. He came m
contact with a wire carrying 22OO
volts which was not supposed to be
charged. His predicamnt was not
learned for several minutes when the
foreman of the gang climbed the pole
and cut him loose.
On Monday evening Coroner R. c.
Cole held a coroner's inquest at the
Borough hall, Woodstown, at which
time the jury agreed that Vaughan
came to his death thru an accident.
Mr.. Vaughn was t~wenty-three years
of @ and a native of Salisbury, Nd.
He was a world war veteran, having
seen service overseas. His wife,
formerly Miss Edna Garrison, survives
him. they having been married for
about three years.
Funeral services were held on wed
nesdav from his late residence, on
Chestnut Street, Salem, and bur1al

was fined $500 and costs and sentenced
to + two months in the County
jail.
Daniel Coleman, colored, was re-
leased from the County Road Camp
upon recommendation of the Sheriff.
Coleman was originally sentenced for
atrocious assault and battery and had
served nearly all the term when he
escaped. On being captured he was
sentenced to an additional three
months with the understanding that
if he proved a model prisoner the e
tence would be reopened. Judge
Ware said Coleman had kept the faith
and he was glad to reward him by
s~uspCndirg the sentence and release
him.
Judgement of Referee Affirmed
In an opinion handed down by
Judge Ware he affirmed the judgment
of Chas. T. Corbin, referee, in the petit
ton for compensation of Nathan
Wood. petitioner. vs.. Maskell Ewing,
respondent, in which the petition was
dismissed.
This appeal from the referees deci-
sion was recently heard by Judge
Ware and the point at issue was
clearly whether Mr.. Wood was injured
while performing work under a part
nership agreement or as an employe.
The Judge said in his opinion that
the relations of the two men was
rather unusual. They had entered a
partnership to make tomato crates
and at the same time Wood, as an or
binary laborer, to erect a shed to
house machinery necessary in the
operation of the plant. The petitioner
was injured where by the use of one
hand was impaired so per cent. and
the Court decided that it was while
under the partnership agreement that
he met with the unfortunate accident.
Therefore he could not recover under
the New Jersey Workmen's Compensa-
ton Act. The petition was dismissed,
thus affirming the Judgment Of the
referee.

PIONEER LADY SOURDOUCH;
NELLIE EASTMAN IN PRINT

The following interesting sketch
of the life of Nellie eastman, we'll
known oldtimer of the koyukuk
and other Interior Alaska camps,
appeared in the May issue of the
Sunset Magazine, in TIE department
of Interesting Westerners":

Miss Nellie eastman, who bears the
title, would be all wrong. Although
in the seventies, she is brimful of
enterprise and energy. In fact, this
remarkable Alaskan pioneer recent
ly came "Outside" on business
trip. making four hundred and
eighty miles of the journey from
Fairbanks to the coast by dog team,
a feat that would feaze many men
in their prime-but not the original

she feels sure that she will get it,
not only because she's always got
everything she wanted in Alaska,
but also because she considers her
self better fitted to enforce the law
than anybody else in the district.

man. l wouldn't thing of using
force on anybody, particularly the
boys up there. You see, they look
on me as a sort of mother and they
wouldn't think of doing anything
wrong while l was around. I've
been all through Alaska dozens of
times but I've never been troubled
by bad men. There isn't a man in
Alaska who doesn't take off his
hat when he meets me-and they

trouble in keeping order, because
everybody's orderly when I'm around

Miss eastman braved the perils
Of the then unknown Frozen North
nearly fifty years ago on an errand
of mercy for which miners still
refer to her as the Florence Night
ingale of the North. Born in Ire
land, she was brought to this country
when baby, her family settling in
the West. When young woman
she went into business as a hotel
manager and storekeeper in Virginia
City, Nevada. Even in that lively
locality life grew irksome for her.
She went to San Francisco with
friends and while there tossed up a
coin to decide whether she should go
to Alaska or South America. The
coin decided Alaska and a few
weeks later she arrived at VAN

learned that disease was threaten

CART BEFORE THE HORSE

At every session of the territorial
legislature we hear people declaring
against the filling of technical and
administrative public places by ap-
pointment, and against comforting
additional powers and duties upon
federal officials, and assigning in
support of their position that TO do
these things is in violation of the
principle of self-government. Those
who argue iris way are mistaking
the shadow of government for the
substance. Self-government does NOT
depend upon the personnel of the
public service but upon the source
of authority When the governor o.
the Alaska Road Commission or
any commissioner or other federal
official is given work to DO by the
territorial legislature, he becomes to
the extent of the duties required.
the servant of the territory, and ne
must account to the territory for
his stewardship, instead of to the
authorities at Washington. Self-gov
eminent depends almost wholly up
on whether the public servants are
responsible to the people of Alaska
whether they are the servants of
Alaska, or whether they are re-
sponsible to authorities at Washing
ton, servants of the nation. Our
problem is not as to who shall be
the servant, but as to whose servant
he shall be.
The fact is that comforting duties
on federal servants and agents in
Alaska, the legislature may get CO.
operative efficiency and economy,
that otherwise could not be secured,
and the tendency is to commando ar
the federal service or agency, in
part. a. least, to tire service of the
people of Alaska.
Enlightened thought nowhere IS
in favor of the election of servants
to administrative or technical posi-
tons In municipal affairs it has been
all but completely eliminated in the
country, and in the States for many
years the tendency has been toward
shorter ballots and the selection of
public servants by the governor or
controlling head. The state of
Washington recently adopted cabi-
net system, having a single man at
the head of each of seven or eight
important departments, and the
heads of these departments and the
governor constitute a cabinet, or
general board, to run all the affairs
of the state. All of these men are
appointed by the governor The only
officials in the state of Washington
that are elective are those which are
provided for in the constitution, and
for years there has been more Or
less agitation in that state for a
constitutional convention for the
purpose, among other things, of re-
ducing the number of officials that
are elective by the people. In that
direction lies efficient and respon-
sible government Juneau Empire.
