 Now therefore, be it resolved by the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Seward, Alaska,
 That such crime be condemned in the strongest terms possible, and that the person or persons committing this criminal act be publicly censured by this Chamber.
 That although this Chamber does not withdraw in any degree from it's attitude of open protest against the purchase of railroad ties by the Alaska Railroad from outside the Territory of Alaska, yet 1t does deplore and condemn the use of any such criminal means by any person or persons to ex- press such protest, and it hereby extends it's sincere regrets to all proper persons, and particularly to Hon.

 That this Chamber pledges itself to render any possible aid to the authorities in the apprehension of the criminal or criminals responsi- ble and all possible assistance to prevent a recurrence of any such crime.

COMMUNICATION

Editor Seward Gateway:
 I take these means to publicly express my attitude to certain statements made in the Seward Daily Gateway under date of April 24th, 1883, as having been uttered by D. c. Brownell, Mayor of the town of Seward, concerning the unfortunate burning of a carload of railroad ties on the night of April 23rd, 1883. In the event that the act of burning the ties is prov en of an incendiary nature, I wish to condemn the action as the work of a crank, moron or corrup- tioniSt, whose sole aim lies in spec tacularism, by heaping discredit upon a certain class of hard-work- ing men, and upon peaceful, law abiding citizenry, to further his own fantastic ends Arson and sabot- age, if proven, can not be con- doned under any condition, in civilized country such as ours and mare particularly in Alaska. It is a most regrettable incident, par ticularly at time when all branches of government and in dustry alike are trying their ut most to create order out of chaos and rehabilitate the country as a whole Sincerely,
 T. w. HAWKINS,

INFANT INDUSTRIES

 Out of this beginning grew the great Utah Woolen Mis from which have emerged branches all over the West Last winter many Kodiak sheep were not sheared because of the drop in the price of wool.
 Here is a chance for an infant industry. Knitting machines do cost much Kodiak has many industrious fingers which are idle in winter when there is no fishing Who knows but that several knitting machines and group of industrious women, securing cardng and spin ming wool knitting it into woolen socks, sweaters etc., could not ay the foundation for industry whose raw material is accorded the best in the nation!

BY CAPT. WILHELM MEYER,

News Service)
BERLIN, Jan. 6 G.N.S) S).-When
we returned to the surface after
torpedoing the Tuscania, we saw
the steamers stern begin to sink
slowly.
1t looked like the spectre of a
horse rearing its hind legs.
The doomed ship was visible
to us only because of the search
lights of the destroyers which
had been conveying it.
1t was like sitting in a motion
picture theater viewing a silent
film drama, except that we could
not see a single human soul.
This was probably due to the
fact that we we're too far away
and because the Tuscania's life
boats were lowered on the port
side while we were on the star
board.
Picks Up SOS
Even stranger, we did not know
the identity of our victim. The
minutes seemed like days before
we found out.
Suddenly our radio operator
picked up a frantic S OS. giving
the name of the TuScania, and
we suddenly realized we had
hit a much bigger vessel than we
had at first SurmiSed.
incidentally, the position given
by the radio signals from the
Tuscania differed from our calcu-
lations by a degree north and
"a of a degree west.
We put this down to the
probability that the Tuscania's
officers were greatly excited.
With the number of deStroyerS
standing by, the position scarcely
mattered very much. anyhow.
No Effort to Sink Sub
The Tuscania's conveys appar-
emily believed we had fled after
the torpedoing, for not a single
effort was made to sink us.
In view of the stupendous
improvements to submarines since
the World War, I believe two
submarines working together
could easily torpedo an entire
transport, including the conveys,
a total of eight or 10 ships.
In order to hasten the sinking
of the Tuscania, which accord
ing to her radio messages was
not proceeding rapidly, we deter
mined to loose a third torpedo.
I maneuvered my submarine
closer around the Tuscania's port
side and, without submerging,
fired another missile at exactly
8:49 p. m. We missed, however,
possibly because of the thick
darkness.
EludeS DeStrOyers
Immediately one of the
deStroyers started full-steam in
our direction, as if it had sighted
us, and we dived like a duck.
When we came to the surface
again a considerable distance
away, we were able to see with
glasses that many ships were
still around the spot where the
TuScania had been. but the
stricken ship itself was no longer
visible

SMITH ANSWERS
! POLLARD'SATTACK
"Content" With Expressions
of DispIeasure in Dispute
on Bonus Marchers.

Representative Smith Of Virginia to-
day took cognizance OF Gov. Pollard's
recent attack on him for opposing the
concentration of the bonus army at
Fort Hunt by writing the Virginia ex-
ecutive that he was entirely content"
with his expressions of displeasure.
In his reply to Gov Pollards criti-
cism, Smith said.
Il acknowledge receipt of your let
ter of May IL. I am amazed that my
mild protest at dumping the bonus
army on Virginia without police pro-
lection should have caused you to lose
your dignity and your temper in sin
gle outburst.
B. E. F. Stand Is Cited.
II am informed that since the re-
ceipt of my complaint and the protests
of others, you have arranged some form
OF police protection for the future.
Having been successful in bringing this
about. I am entirely content to be the
recipient Of your expressions of dis
pleasure.
Your statement that you decline
to assume beforehand that there will
be laWlesSnesS among these veterans
mpeS me to call your attention to the
TACT that the press for days has been
carrying the statement that the Or
ganlzaion at Fort Hunt is commanded
by an admitted Communist. and the
regular B. E. F.. organization has re-
peatedly refused to be quartered at
Fort Hunt on the grounds that they
are unwilling to be affiliated with a
communistic organization.
Under these conditions, We. in this
section OF the State. are unable to
share or to understand your compla-
cency in the circumstances"
Plans White House Call.
Mr.. Smith, accompanied by Senator
Glass Of Virginia, planned to go to
the White House this afternoon to
make a personal protest to President
Roosevelt against the concentration of
the bonus army at Fort Hunt.
The argument between Gov. Pollard
and Mr. Smith had its origin several
days ago in the failure of the Gov
ernor to invite Smith to a conference
IN Alexandria at which plans were
discussed for providing additional police
protection in the vicinity of Fort Hunt
during the encampmept OF the bonus
army.
