MILLION FOR ROAD WORK
 EXPFa PATTON lOI. STEESE
Commission President Hack From
 Official Trip to Southeast

The Alaska Road Commission recommendation that Congress ap- nropriate $1,60O,OOO for construc- ton and maintenance of roads and trails in the north next year ha- been approved by the War Depart ment and is now before the Federal Budget Bureau for consideration. according to Col James c. Steese. president of the commission and chairman Of the Alaska Railroad. Col, Steese was accompanied to An chorage by Capt. Pierre A. Agnew. disbursing officer of the commis- sion. who is enroute to Fairbanks. The former has spent the last two weeks in the Juneau and Rainy Hollow districts. on official busin- ess.
 While it is appreciated that the Budget Bureau in all likelihood will slash estimates, in the interests of economy. Col Steese is confident hat something in excess of million dollars will be appropriated for 1924 road and trail work.
 Colonel Steese accompanied Sen ator Wesley L. Jones, Congress- man l.. P. Hadley of Bellingham and Fish Commissioner Ward O'Malleg on three-weeks inspec- ton trip in Southeastern Alaska while away and also engaged in ex- amining the Juneau offices of the road commission. This office is re- ported to have had "the best year in it's history" by Colonel Steese.
 "The visit to Alaska of many members of Congress during this summer will make it easier to de- fend our estimates for roads and trails," said Colonel Steese. AL most without exception, he added. these senators and representatives who were in Alaska this summer have recognized the necessity for increased Federal appropriations for building roads.
 In President Harding's last pup licly delivered address at Seattle, he recommended increased appropria- tions for roads. when he declared: "In another direction there is Justification for more liberal dis position-that of road and trail building" He also referred to the importance of building feeder wag- on roads and trails to the Alaska railroad.
 Co!cnel Steese expects to leave Ae-e late in. October for Washing ton. to be on hand when the War Department estimates come before the House committee on appropria' .ions.--(Anchorage TimeD. lSUB6CRIRE FOE THN NUGGET

P0LLS0PEN AT "a. NJ, CLOSE AT
7P.M., TOMORROW IN WATERW0RKS
BOND ELECTION; FEAR LIGHT VOTE

Bismarck citizens who are interested in their
own pocketbooks, in the city.s acquisition OF a
waterworks system and in the city itself, must vote
tomorrow the questions presented in special
election by the city commission.
Unless the voters get out in great numbers-and
late today it feared that the vote would be light
the waterworks bond issue will fail
If it fails it means the city cannot acquire it's
own waterworks 1t also means that all money
spent to date is wasted Should the city, in the
event the voters did not get out choose to take the
old method Of issuing warrants instead of bond
issue, it would cost the voters thousands of dollars
more in interest CThe election is not to vote more
money-it is to replace warrants at saving.
The question is: If you want the city to go
through with the city waterworks plan get out and
vote yes.
Ii you don't just stay at home.
To which might be added if you want the city to
spend lot more money than is necessary, just stay
at home; but if you want to save yourself money,
vote Eyes"
There are two questions. Both must be voted
on The vote is eyes" or mo" The city commits
sion asks the voters to vote "Yes."
The questions are:
H. Shall the City of Bismarck become indebted
in an amount not exceeding per cent of the
sessed value of the taxable value of the property of
said city without regard to existing indebtedness of
said city, for the purpose of constructing pur-
chasing waterwOrks for the purpose of furnishing
supply of water to inhabitants of said city?
2. Shall the city of Bismarck issue bonds in the
sum of $235,000 in denominations of $1,000 each
payable onetenth in each of the years 1884 to 1943,
cent, payable semi-annuay, such interest payments
to be evidenced by interest coupons attached to such
bonds for the purpose of purchasing constructing
waterworks to supply water to inhabitants of said
city?
The polls will be open from a. m. to p. M.
This is under new law. Formerly the polls were
open until p M Voters must get to the polls be-
fore o'clock.
The places to vote are as follows:

TANKER LOST,
CREW MAY BE
LOST At SEA
Vessels Put Out to Rescue
Fail to Find Any Trace
of, Missing Men

Key West, Fla, Oct. 12.-Thirty
men, members of the crew of the
City of Everett, a tanker, which
sank stern first early yesterday off
the Florida coast, are believed to be
fighting for their lives in open boats
in stormy sea today were being
searched for by vessels who answer
ed the Everett's distress call.
The tanker foundered in q heavy
sea off Tortugas.
She was reported to have dis
placement of 1856 tons.
"Am lowering boats; will sink
soon: latitude - 80 north; longi-
tude 86 west," was message receiv-
ed from the ill-fated vessel by the
radio station at the navy yard here.
Twenty-Five minutes later what
is believed to be the final chapter Of
the Everett was received through
the air:
"Going down, stern first"
The ships radio operator ended
this final appeal for aid by sending
out s. o. S. calls.
The Comal of the Mallory line, 75
miles away, buffeting a high rum
ming sea- shifted it's course and head
ed for the Everett. A revenue cut
ter steamed out Of this harbor to
the reported position Of the tanker,
located on the chart as being $50
miles west off Tortugas.
When the Comal and revenue cut
ter arrived at the position given by
the Everett only q small amount Of
debris covered the high running sea.
The rescurers reported to the navy
yard that not life-boat was in
sight. Throughout the night the
search continued and at day-break
this morning the navy yard reported
it had heard nothing. n
Marines said that there is possi-
bility that the men who took to the
life boats might have. been carried
80 TAR from the place where the
tanker sank that they could not be
sighted by the rescue ships. Other
ships pi5t ont 70 aea u aid in the
search. s95

F0UND.M
OFFICE AFTER
HE Is MISSED
The Suicide Apparently Oc.
Cured on Wednesday
Authorities Decide
COMPLAINED OF HEALTH
Had Declared Recently That
He was Not Feeling Well,
Friends Say

J. H. HOLMAN, 43 years old, well
known real estate man of Bismarck.
was found dead in his office at 1880
o'clock this afternoop. He had COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself
with revolver. The suicide pro-
badly occurred Wednesday night.
The body was discovered by R. d.
Hoskins and Chief of Police MARITIME
son. The former, not having noticed
Mr. Holihan about, tried the door of
his office earlier in the day and al
SO tried to telephone him, Mr.. Holi-
hams office being in the Hoskins
block. with entrance on Broadway.
Suspecting that something was
wrong Mr.. 'Hoskins called Chief Of
Police Martineson and the two fore
ed the door to the office. 81
They found MIR. Holihan dead in
bed, in side-room of the office.
He was partially clothed, lying on
his back, a bullet wound was in his
right temple and 32-calibre auto
matte revolver had slipped from his
hand.
DR.. F. B. Strauss and acting cor
oner w. s. Casselman were called
DR.. Strauss said that Mr. HOLMAN
had been dead from 36 to 48 hours.
Death apparently was instantane-
Gus. There was no sign of confu-
sion, the body resting in orderly
manner on the bed.
The time of the suicide was fixed
by authorities partly by newspapers.
Wednesdays papers were foun. on
a table, and apparently had been
read. Thursdays papers had been
showed under the office door and
had not been touched on the inside.
1t is believed the suicide occurred at
night; else the report Of the shot
would have been heard.
Motive for the suicide is conjec-
tural. Mr.. Holihan had complained
to number of people recently that
he was not feeling we'll. Despond-
ency from this cause, and perhaps
poor business and similar causes, is
believed to have led to the suicide.
Mr.. HOLMAN had lived in Bismarck
10 to IL years. He frst was in .
drug store here, now out Of business.
He was both druggist and chemist.
Later he went into the real estate
business, specializing in farm prop
erty. Hes formerly lived in Iowa,
and his mother and brother live In
Aberdeen, S. D., at this time. Mr..
HOLMAN had been married before
coming to Bismarck, friends said.
