S. S. ARTIC IS SAFE
ASHORE HOOPER BAY
Capt. Ross received a wireless
from Capt. Cochran of the Bear that
the Arctic had been ashore in
Hooper Bay since Oct. 6. The Bear
is coming today with the crew.
The following interview was given
to the Signal Corps by Captain
Frank Whitlam of the Arctic::
“We left St. Michaels on Septem
ber 24 and arrived at Hooper Bay
on 27th, and wind was blowing
northwest strong and a heavy sea
rolling. We hove to for two days
then we proceeded to abreast of
Hooper Bay and hove to. It was
hazy and we got into a fathom anfi
three fourths. It was breaking all
over and wind Increasing from
Southeast. We ran off shore into six
and half fathoms of water and an
chored: lay at anchorage for a week
during that time the wind was
southeast, southwest west. At the
end of the seventh day she came
northeast which was an off shore
wind and we weighed anchor and
proceeded into Hooper Bay. We got
into the bay without any trouble on
October 2 and lay until 6th. Then
we went into the village and had no
trouble getting plenty of water.
Next morning we commenced to ids
discharge.
In the evening we expected high
water but it failed to come in from
that time to the present.
We have been anxiously waiting
for high water but none appeared.”

GRAND JURY INDICTS
CHICAGO POLICE HEAD
GRAND JURY IN ND shrdul dhrssta
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.—The Grand
Jury of this city today indicted
the Chief of Police Chas Healey
and his Secretary W. Ludhardt.
The indictment charges that he
assigned to his secretary the duties
of secretary of the so-called Sports
men’s Club, an association of gamb
lers whose connection with the slot
machine ring has been notorious.
The exposures of this slot ma
chine graft and the intimate connec
tion between it and the city police
department led the Grand Jury to
take action.
Police Chief Healey is charged
with a variety of offenses and with
a conspiracy to commit a variety of
illegalities, malfeasance in office,
etc.
Efforts to secure a statement
from the Police Chief failed.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.—The indict
ment of the Chief of Police on a
charge of malfeasance in office and
conspiracy to commit a variety of
offenses is the sensation of the even
ing. Mayor Thompson refused to
talk to the newspaper men that
sought an opinion from him on the
matter.
The general idea is that there Is
considerable politics mixed up in
the whole affair and that Healey -ts
to be made the goat for some differ
ences that have arisen within the
ring. Healey’s connection with the
Sportsmen’s club has been a notori
ous fact, known to al the newspap
ers of the city for a considerable
time before any action was taken.

TOO EARLY PREDICT
RESULT SOME STATES
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—It is too
early yet to predict the results o£
the forthcoming presidential elec
tion and it is freely conceded that
the result is more uncertain than
in years. The republicans are dogg
edly determined and their hopes of
victory have not been yet relin
quished. It is considered that Indi
ana, Ohio, Illinois are off color.
Illinois is uncertain because of the
woman’s vote. Ohio is unquestion
ably Wilson’s because of the eight
hour day—working class. Jews and
Catholics being almost unanimom
for Wilson.
The unionist vote throughout is
admitted to be disturbing the man
agerial calculations and the Wilson

MARGUERITE SNOW
AT DREAM TONIGHT.
Nome’s favorite actress Marguerite
Snow of Million $ Mystery fame,
supported by George Le Guere, the
popular juvenile actor, will star in
a sparkling comedy “The Upstart”
at the Dream tonight. This is a
satirical comedy in 5 acts, and deals
with a young man’s opposition to
divorce, as a social evil, while the
play does not pretend to teach any
moral whatever regarding this doc
trine. His wife tired of his “ideas”
and believing he is a “nut”, starts a
• divorce. Then the fun starts. Be
sides this excellent number a
“Special War Reel’ showing stirring
scenes at the “Siege of Antwerp"
will also be on the bill.
I _
BOUND OVER.
Talking to Carl Anderson over
the phone yesterday, he stated that
he was bound over to the Grand
Jury bail being set at a thousand
dollars. He vigorously maintains
his innocence and declares that
there is not a particle of truth in
the charge.
ians have shown unusual wisdom in
making peace, prosperity and labor
questions the main issue. The re
publicans realize that owing to his
complete ignorance of the question,
Hughes was unable to make the ta
riff the real issue until too late and
he had taken up the other policies
of the administration without suc
cess. Had Hughes driven right into
the campaign With tariff for indus
trial preparedness the keynote in
stead of trying to carry every dead
issue on his shoulders, he would
have done far better.
The republican and democratic
orators are to center in the doubt
ful states until after election. The
republican campaign committee says
this evening that Hughes plurality
in Indiana will be thirty thousand
and in Illinois fifty thousan’d. If
so he cannot be defeated.

TRACTION MAGNATES MAY
EMPLOY OLD HANDS
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Because
of the very great difficulty attend
ing the operation of the line by
strike breakers and the failure to
make proper schedule time it is not
impossible that the Interborough
may try to compromise with some
of the old employees in order to
get a sufficiency of skilled help back
into the service. It is known that
for some time past approaches have
been made to many former em
ployees who were tipped off that the
way would be made easy for their
return to their cars.
Just come in. Four burner oil
stove at Crooks, next Fire Depart

ANOTHER EXPLOSION IS
CLAIMING DEATH TOLL
MARVEL, Ala., Oct. 23.—A gas
explosion broke out in the Roden
coal mine Sunday evening and
eighteen are dead and sixteen bodies
have been taken from the mine.
The cause of the explosion is ad
mittedly due to gas and the accumu
lation of this dangerous damp in the
mines is caused by the terrific rush
to get out coal to meet the demands
of local orders.
The mining generally is being
carried on under the highest kind
of pressure and it is said by miners
that more fatalities may be expected
unless the coal mine owners are
compelled to take greater precau
tions to clear the mines of the
dreaded fire damp. Practically all
mines are behind both in Industrial
and commercial orders for coal.
MACKENZEN IS NOW
HOLDING KONSTANZA
BERLIN, Oct. 23.—Advancing in
torrential rain General Mackenzen
captured Constanza today, the ex
treme right wing of the Russo-Ru
manians being also most disastrous
ly routed. Mackenzen occupied
Constanza while other detachments
fought.across the Constanza railroad
at Martflar where the left and cen
ter. centering upon Cernadova
swinging forward captured the re
mainder of the railway.
This is the most important victory
since Rumania entered the war and
the German military experts declare
that it is of great importance and
of infinitely greater magnitude
than the total victories of the Allies
on the Somme.
LONDON, Oct. 23.—Prior to the
arrival of a Berlin dispatch an
nouncing that the Germans had
taken Constanza a Bucharest report
said that Mackenzen was ten miles
from Constanza at that time and
that the Russo-Rumanian leaders
considered the situation erious.
They were then retiring forty-five
miles from the Dobrudja frontier
under the tremendous presure of a
combined force of Turks, Bulgars
and Germans. The Rumanians
were holding back the enemy on
their right where the Teutons were
attacking in order to capture the
strategic positions at Cernadova
bridge.
Because of these reports, no doubt
is felt here, but that the German
official announcement of the capture
of Constanza is correct.
GREY FAVORS LEAGUE
ENFORCE PEACE WORLD
LONDON, Oct. 23.—Viscount Grey
the English Foreign Minister, talk
ing to foreign press associations
says that he favors a league of all
nations to enforce peace after the
war. Grey said that no doubt after
this great war was over the nations
engaged therein w’ould be more will
ing to take pains to establish a sy
stem of international arbitration
which would preclude the future
possibility of war. Grey said unfor
tunately while he said this he had
no reason to think that an oppor
tunity for the establishment of such
a League would be soon afforded as
he believed that the present war
would last a long time yet.
LONDON, Oct. 23.—The Rumani
an defeats are not exciting surprise
here. The probability of Rumania
being entirely destroyed by the
Central Powers is quite calmly dis
cussed and the German, Bulgar and
Turkish probable losses is expatiated
upon with a view of considering the
decrease in the human material at
the disposal of the Central Powers
for a continuance of the war.
There is not very much sympathy
manifested for Rumania and the
British military critics regard the
unfortunate Balkan nation as just
another means of the German armies
losing so many hundred thousand
first class fighting men.
BERLIN, Oct. 23.—It is pointed
out that the fall of Constanza will
prevent Russian supplies reaching
into Rumania to aid that nation in
its fight against the Central
Powers.
SEATTLE STAR SAYS
HUGHES AGAINST RAILROAD
SEATTLE, Oct. 23.—Republicans
are damned by inference in an edi
torial published in this evenings
Star.
The Star asserts that Hughes,
Fairbanks and Beveridge are silent
upon the Alaska railroad scheme
because the republican party plans
to kill the project if Hughes wins.
The Star asserts that it can prove
LOCAL ITEMS.
The Eagle Shows put on a good
program tonight. The headliner is
The Torrent a two reel modern
spectacular drama with Wellington
Playter and Marie Wallcamp
featured in the cast. An
interesting fact in con
nection with this clever play is the
breaking of a great dam when fifty
million gallons wipe a section of a
town off the map. There is no fake
about the flood either. The romance
running between the lines of this
realism is a fine story just as well.
Comedies of a laugh provoking char
acter also adorn this bill and a Uni
versal Weekly showing a Phillipine
Island war dance and fashions dis
played by famous beauties conclude
a fine programme.

Politics are humming up. Almost
all the local candidates are now in
Nome and although they meet and
talk, there is quite a good deal of
friendly rivalry among them. Some
times it is not all so friendly, but
that’s another story barred by the
censor. The Wickershamites are
just now, under the tutelage of
their apostle’s evangelist whose
presence in Nome has kindled the
faith of the faint hearted, bubbling
over with enthusiasm, one stating
that they expected to give Wick the
biggest majority he ever got in the
Second Division. This information
was conveyed to a district official
of the democratic party and that
important dignitary allowed an In
dustrial Worker reporter access to a
telegram wherein it was possitively
stated that “the Second was safe for
Sulzer”.
that the enemies of the government
railroad have practically united on
a political plan to knife the railroad
project from Seward and Anchorage
and will be in a position to dictate
terms should Hughes win.
The editorial is in its way quite
sensational, being half news matter
and half editorial comment.
SEATTLE, Oct. 2 3.—It is quite
possible that there is a general cam
paign against the Alaska railroad,
being quietly carried on by its un
(lerground opponents. The success
of the republicans it is admitted is
however a pre-requisite to its suc
cess.
It is held however that the Star's
contentions are without any proof
and as such must be entirely dis
credited. Republicans do not hesi
tate to say that it is merely a poli
tical trick to secure support against
the Republicans.
That the story is making a deep
impression is however conceded.
POLITICAL MATTERS HAD
TO DO WITH SHOOTING
VIENNA Oct. 23.—An effort is be
ing made to hush up the shooting
of the Austrian premier for some
reason not admitted to be reported.
Adler is now arrested but is allowed
to carry on his correspondence work
with the Berlin Vossiche Zeitung of
which he had been the brilliant cor
respondent. Adler is a strong Teu
tonist and has held that the logi
cal economic supremacy of the
Teutonic race should be an evident
outcome of the war. He has held
that Austria belonged under the
German confederacy, with a general
customs union and common diplo
matic corps. These policies he ad
vocated in bitter opposition to both 1
the Austrian and the Hungarian
premiers, although supposed to have
the tacit support of the Imperial
Austro-Hungarian cabinet, all
strongly Teutonist.
The report that there was a diff
erence in the Austrian cabinet over
these questions is admitted to be
correct as sent out by Adler.
ARTILLERY DUELS ARE
CHIEF ACTIVITIES WEST
LONDON, Oct. 23.—Artillery duels
are about all that are reported from
the west front today. The French
are now making Sailly into a base
for future operations and it is likely

PARIS, Oct. 20.—German losses

ments on the Somme. Along the
front artillerists were active, but ac

this arm today.
The Germans replied vigorously.
