No. 10k TWELFTH YEAR. SKAGWAY, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29. 1901) PKICE, 10 CENTS
ARCTIC BROTHERS PROTEST
AGIST ADMITTING TAFT
.Members of Skagway Camp No. 1.
Arctic Brotherhood. are up in arms
over the proposed action of the grand
camp in initiating President Taft Into,
the Arctic Brotherhood at Seattle to- j
morrow afternoon. That this will be'
done was the news received by the |
United Press cable service today.
When this was first suggested sonu 1
weeks ago the A. B. camps of the
north protested, and Skagway No. l.|
Dawson No. 4. Sitka No. 6, Douglas !
No 14. Haines No. 17 and Discovery
No. 19 united in a protest which was
- wired to the grand camp officials at
Seattle. The wire was followed by
a letter.
So far the northern camps have
received no word from the grand
camp officials relative to the protest,
but it looks as if they intended to j
go ahead and initiate Taft regardless.
If this is done it is more than
lively to cause a revolt among the Al
askan camps. In the first place the
constitution of the Arctic Brotherhood
plainly forbids the establishment of
any camps or the holding of any In
itiation south of latitude fifty-four
forty. Until the constitution is changi
ed Taft's Initiation would not be con
stitutional. ^
In the second place last March
Skagway Camp No. 1 wrote President
Taft offering to make him an honor
ary member. He declined the honor,
stating that he would prefer to Join
the camp in person when he came
north. To initiate him in Seattle
would be a direct slight upon Camp
Skagway.
In case the presidential initiation is
pulled off It will probably precipitate
a violent civil war between the grand
camp officials aud the Alaskan del
egates.

BIBLE TEACHES
SPIRITUALISM
ST. LOUIS. ? In carefully chosen
and emphatic words the Rev. Edmund
Duckworth, rector of St. James' Epis
copal Memorial church, declared In aa
Interview today that spirit communi
cation Is a necessary corollary to tho
teaching of the church In regard to
Immortality.
He gave his views on the subject
as a comuent on the sermon deliv
ered by Bishop Samuel Fallows, of tb<
Reformed Episcopal church, in Chi
cago.
"I do not see how any one can
read the Bible without accepting the
declaration that Bishop Fallows mak
es, unless he treats the Bible as an
unbeliever and a materialist," said
the Rev. Mr. Duckworth. "I might
cite innumerable Instances from the
Scriptures of spirit communication.
Christ himself talked with Moses and
Elijah on the Mount of Transfigura
tion. St. Paul was lifted Into the
third heaven and states that there he
saw and heard things unlawful for
men to know."
"Do you believe that communica
tions with the spirit world have oc
curred In modern times?" Mr Duck
worth was asked.
"I would have take a very pecu
liar attitude If I denied the experienc
es of men and women whose souls
have passed over before. The so
called mediums that Infest this and
other cities are the "fakes" referred
to by Bishop Fallows. The develop
ment of this science, if you care to
call It such. Is in the hands of socie
ties of psychical research and other
men and women." ? New York Herald.
George Dale, a mining man Inter
ested In properties near Caribou, who
recently disposed of his Interest In
the Dale and Fleming mine to an
eastern syndicate, arrived In Skag
way last night and will remain here
