"Taddie sends his love-"
A LEXANDER WILLIAMSON was
born in Edinburgh. Scotland, and
was a graduate Of the Royal School OF
Edinburgh. He came to this country
and from September IS, 1861, until
Mrs. Lincoln removed to Chicago IN
1865. he taught Latin to the Lincoln
children-at first to William Wallace
and Tad" and after the formers
death, to Tad" alone.
In 1863 Mr.. Williamson was ap-
pointed to a clerkship in the second
auditors office. where he continued to
serve until he was removed during the
administration of President Cleveland.
Later he became connected with the
Anchor Line Steamship Co., and was
employed there when he died IN
BROOKLYN, N. Y, in 1908. at the ad-
vanced age Of about SO years. He is
buried in Glenwood Cemetery, this
city.
His recolIections of the great trag-
edy were interesting. Upon one occa-
sion he said:
MY son, William B. Williamson,
was Stanton's messenger. He had de-
livered at the theater a message from
Stanton for Mr.. Lincoln. He rode his
horse to my house in Fourteenth street
and told me Of the tragedy. was
preparing for bed, but hurried into
my clothes, partly redressing in the
street.
"I told Robert Lincoln at the White
House that a serious accident had
taken place. As I was going down
the basement stairs toward the kitch.

senger Dunn. The boy was tongue.
tied. 'Papa's tot was his greeting.
The Gordon of troops around the
house where Lincoln lay held me up,
Notwithstanding I announced that I
was of the Presidents household.
Deputy Marshal Phillips came to my
rescue. I found Gen. Meigs on guard
at the door of the room. I sat on
trunk at the foot of Lincoln's bed
from about II pm. until 1922 am,
at about which hour he died.
Surg. Gen. Barnes kept stanching
the blood. DR.. Stone felt the pulse of
the left hand and asked me to feel
the pulse of the right ankle. When
ever the pulse in the ankle became
weaker I reported to DR.. Stone. and
so my friend, the President, joined the
ages"
Andrew johnson then became Presi-
dent, being sworn in at about II
o'clock in the Kirkwood House, the site

Lincoln died, and the final chapter in
the great conspiracy-in which Secre-
tary Seward almost lost his life-was
written on July Z, 1865, when Payne,

tentiary, then in the old arsenal
grounds. Booth was shot on April

projectile. After q gun has been
rifled it must be examined carefully
by crews with special calipers to see
that the inside diameter is uniform
throughout. A tolerance of more
than one -thousandth of an inch is
not permitted. The gun must be
inspected by man with surveyor
like telescope to be sure the riflng
is without fault.
The work on the larger guns IS
done in the big gun shop, a lofty
structure of reinforced concrete and
steel covering more than two acres
of ground. Here the large guns are
put into perfect order for battle
service. Constant firing in battle
practice has often distorted their
rifling and destroyed their accuracy.
Their liners must be pulled out and
new ones inserted. Pulling out a
liner Is a difficult task. The gun
must be hoisted up to vertical po-
sition, butt end up, and lowered into
a heating pit 100 feet deep, where

some Of the finest accomplishments
of modern engineering. 1t has shared
fully in the technical advances Of
such sciences as ballistics and metal
lurgy during the past few decades.
The titanic forces must often be ap-
piled with almost unbelievable skill
and delicacy. The guns manufactured
cover a wide range in caliber and
other characteristics.
Navy guns Of the present vary in
caliber from las to 18 inches, and
the great majority have a muzzle
velocity of approximately $500 feet
per second There is, generally speak
ing. simple relationship between the
caliber and the weight of the projectile
/ which the gun will fire-that is. the
weight of the projectile in pounds is

drawn out into forgings Of various
shapes. The biggest of the presses
can exert a pressure of thousands
of tons, MASKING the largest and
heaviest Of the steel forgings as easily
as one could crush a match with a
hammer. In other shops patterns
are made for molding the castings,
turrets are set up, breech mechanisms
are machined by picked mechanics,
torpedo tubes are pressed into shape,
cartridge cases for big shells are
turned out, metals are plated and
polished and optical Instruments
such as range finders, gunsight tele-
scopes and periscopes-are manu-
factured.
Gun-making is q task involving

about one-third Of the cube Of the
caliber expressed in inches. Thus, for
a 1o-inch gun, the weight Of the
shell fired would be about 500 pounds,
the cube of 10 being 1000.
The general design of heavy naval
guns" according to Lewis Sayre Van
Duzer. in an article in the latest edi-
ton of the Encyclopedia Americana,
has not been materially altered In
more than a decade, nor very ma
terially in three. The principal
changes are due to improvements in
metallurgy and mechanical processes.
The steel for the different parts is Of
higher grade and its qualities are more
uniform and dependable. The net re-
suit is a lighter, stronger and sitter

Qualifications as to Who Shall Vote on Nome Bonding
MAYOR SWARTZ EXPLAINS STATE OF QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY
 TO VOTE ON BONDING OF CITY

With the regular municipal and special election coming up April 2, discussion pertaining to the bond is sue to be voted on in Nome, has cen tered down to qualifications of vot- CTS and who shall vote on the bond issue
 Arguments pro and con as to who should and who should not be all lowed to vote, have caused consid- erable confusion generally.
 Therefore it is believed that at this time, a statement by Mayor Rex F Swartz regarding the coming election on the bond issue, would be entirely appropriate The following remar' by Mayor Swartz explain in some detail where the authority for and instructions regarding the applica- tion by the City of Nome for PWA loan and grant, were obtained:
 q wish to call attention to the special election called for April at which time the citizens of Nome will express their opinions and wishes re- lative to the proposed bond issue for funds to rehabilitate our city following the fire of September IT. I believe it proper that the public shall be advised fully as to the ac tion of the city council in this mat ter and that they fully understand the different proposed projects con- templated.
 S10O,0O0 Loan and Grant
 AS you know the city council sometime ago passed a resolution in- structing the mayor to take steps to secure loan and grant from the Public Works Administration not to exceed $10O,00O, the loan being $70- 900 and the grant or gift $30,000. This application has been made and is now in the hands of the PWA off, cials, setting up different projects and specifying certain definite maximum amounts that should be spent on each project. At the same time a resolu tion was adopted by the council in- structing the mayor to take necess- ary steps in securing from Congress authority for the city of Nome to issue bonds in any sum not to ex- ceed $100O00 Our delegate MT Di- mond was advised of this and on February IA 1885 introduced a bill H. R. 5707 including our project as laid out in our PWA application.
 Those Who Shall Vote
 Up to date this bill has not been passed and signed by the President but we have been assured by MT, Dimond that such will be accom- plished shortly. As the bill has been published in a recent issue of the Nugget it will not be necessary to review this here. However l beg to call your attention especially to- that part which specifies just who are qualified to vote on this ordinance. In section 3 you will note the fol- lowing: Before said bonds shall be issued a special election shall be or dered by the Common Council of

election the question of whether such bonds shall be issued in the amount specified for any or all the purposes hereinbefOre set forth shall be submitted to the qualified electors of said city of Nome, Territory of Al aska, whose NAMES APPEAR ON THE LAST ASSESSMENT ROLL OF SAID CITY FOR PURPOSES OF MUNICIPAL TAXATION" This will necessitate a separate ballot for this election and qualified vot- CTS will be limited to those whose names are on the last assessment roll of the city Our city attorney does not interpret this to mean that anyone paying any kind of tax or license such as a Radio tax or driV- CTS license shall be allowed to vote on the bond issue. It is only those qualified electors who have been ass essed on real or personal property and whose name appears on the last assessment roll. Again while the bill authorizes the city to bond itself to a sum not to exceed $l00,- 900 it is not the intention of this council to obligate the city to that full amount To complete our pro- ject will mean the expenditure of $l00,000 but the city will obligate itself not to exceed $7O,O00-the re- maining $3O,0OO to be a grant from the PWA.
 You will note in the ordinance 268 calling for a special election that for instance item (a) calling for the construction of sewers and drains $l0,500 This amount is 70fc of the total which is $150O0 to be spent on this one project This does not mean that total of $l5,000 must be spent on projet (A) for if the engineers with consent of the council believes that a practical and working system of sewers and drains can be built for less money it is the intention to do so.
 T wish also to impress the citi- zens with the importance of voting separately on each project and of the necessity that each shall pass. Sup posing that proposition (A) was turned down by the voters It would mean that not one dollar of the money received thru the loan and grant could be used to construct sewers and drains. Personally have very little fear that an unfav- orable vote will be cast on any of the projects, but I do believe all should be acquainted with these facts.
 PWA Man to be in Charge
 "The entire $10O,0O0 or such pro- portion of this amount as the engin- eers and council see fit to spend will be under direct supervision of PWA officials and a representative engin- ger from the PWA will be here in Nome during the preliminary plan ming and on thru to the completed construction.
