NOME, ALASKA. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 28, I'M7.
BUFFALO, X. Y., Nov. 2*.—Warn
ing his lellow delegates in the Am
erican Federation ot Labor conven
tion which has just closed its an
nual session in this city .Mr. James
Duncan, delegate iront Seattle,
Washington, undertook to arouse
them to greater activity in the in
terest of the workers.
Mr. Duncan is Secretary of the
Central Labor Council of Seattle in
which. city there recently occurred
a serious secession of workers from
the ranks of the American Federa
tion of Labor when the -hingle
weavers of Ballard went over in a
body to the Industrial Workers of
the World, the newer organization
of workers which is growing by
leaps and bounds throughout the
entire country.
In the course of his remarks Mr.
Duncan stated it to be his convic
tion that something must be done
beside passing resolutions denounc
ing the I. W. W., or of preset uting
arresting or billing its members, if
the phenomenal growth of that or
ganization which is making serious
inroad into the A. F. of L., is to
be checked. His remarks left the
very pointed inference that the old
er and raoro conservative organiza
tion is not sufficiently justifying it
self as the guardian and protagon
ist of tne interests of the working
clastji and urged its delegates in the
convention to inaugurate immedi
ately a campaign covering precisely
the principal demands of the I. W.
W. organization, especially that of
the universal eight hour day.
BANDITS GET THIRTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
DETROIT ,Ncv. 27.—One of the
most sensational daylight robberies
ever taking place in an American
city occurred here today when ban
dits succeeded in getting away with
the payroll and currency bag of the
Heubner Brewing Company,
amounting in actual cash taken to
the sum of thirty five thousand
dollars.
The Paymaster of the huge brew
ing concern had left the bank en
route for his offices in the brewery
establi-hment when another ma
chine pulled up alongside. Its oc
cupants leaned upon the running
board of his car and at the point ol
an automatic pistol compelled his
chauffer to slew down when the
leather pounches containing the
money were snatched and quickly
transferred to the bandit car which
quickly sped away in the maze of
the city traffic. One of the rob
er.i remained on the paymaster's
car threatening to shoot himself
I
and tho chauffer if any outcry or
warning was made. When suffici
ent time had elapsed for the ban
dit car to escape the robber re
i
maining to cover the get-a-way dis
■ appeared quickly among the pedes
trians before a hue and cry could
be raised.
The robbery bears the character
istic of the work of a master crim
inal both in its planning ar.d its
| execution and bears resemblance
to the melodrama of the movies.

PETROGRAD. Nov. 27.—What
I may prove to bo the beginning ol
, the end ol' Russia as a vast inte
gral nation and its breaking up
into a score of more of separate
nations is pressaged today in the
news that Caucasia the most dis
tant southeastern province of the
empire, has declared its independ
ence and has set up a socialist re
public. Immediately upon its de
claration and act of secession a
Congress of forty deputies were
elected. It is believed that many
of the Russiar provinces will follow
this example anil in lime what we
now know as Russia may be re
stricted to the area containing *ho
large metropolitan cities of I’etro
grad and Moscow.
Caucasia lies between ‘he Cas
pian Sea on the east and the Sea
of Azov and the Black Sea on the
west and occupies the extreme
southeasterly teaches of Russia. To
the south lies Persia and a portion
of the Turkish empire and to the
north the Russian provinces of Aus
rakahn and tlie Don army It is
estimated to contain a populatlnn
of six million inhabitants ami o< < u
iiics a total area of 172.S37 square
miles, and is bisected by the Cau
cants range of mountains and in
cludes the whole range of those
mountains whit it divides Europe
fretn Asia. The new republic tints
lies half in Asia and half in Eu

SOCIALISTS ARRESTED
SEATTLE, Nov. 27.—One hund
red members of the Italian Socialist
club, the Circola Studi Socirli, were
arrested here today by authorities
of the Department ol Justice, re
presenting the Government of the
United States. The arrests were
made quietly and were accompanied
by little or no incidmt.
The accused persons are charged
with plotting several assat imitions
including President Wilson and
King Victor Emanuel of Italy, and
of conducitng a propaganda calcu
lated to disrupt the Italian army.
Ti e avresls were ordered upon
what purports to be information
that the organization is being fur
nished with German money to ear
ly on their anti-military and paci
fist operations. It is stated that
a member of the Seattle branch
of the society late sent one of the
members to make his way into Ger
many for that purpose. There are
alleged to be two hundred thou
sand member.! of ihe organization
tpreading German propaganda in
the United States and in Italy. 'I ho

ELECTION SCANDAL
fc>T. LOUIS, Nov. 27.—Political
corruption on a scale equal to that
in the earlier history of this -ity
when severel prominent nvllion
aires ai/l respected citizens had m
leave for other climates is again
rife here.
CJigantic election frauds and
whole ale bribery and buying of
negro votes is being unearthed as
a result cf the confession of a
negro political leader. The Negro
involved in ihe shady transactions
is a prominent colored prefes ional
man and dentist. Dr. L. N. Bundy.
Fifteen hundred negro voters are
alleged to have been bribed in the
nunicipal elections just held; this
number accepting their money from
Bundy.
Bundy’s confession is expected to
reveal more than the u ual grist
of scandal involving the "higher
ups” of finance and politics and is
taken ta be a mere surface indica
tion of ihe corruption frauds in the
election skull-duggery which char
acterizes tin* election throughout
and which is expected to exceed the
crookedness which was the begiu
( ning oT the muck-rake exposures
which uncovered crookedness in
the political management of over
half the first class municipalities
of the United States. Thoe-e scan
dals originated in the operations of
the Alum Trust in this city soem
twenty years ago and which,
brought to the fore Joseph \V. Folk:
in the role of prosceutor and who
became United States Senator.
ATLANTIC PORTS ARE
ATLANTIC PORT hwlesF shrill lis
WASHINGTON, I). C., Nov. 27.—
A sweeping ami drastic decision
has been made to put all the har
bor of the Atlantic coast under
martial law. The order is made to
apply to all ports whose waters are
capable of docking boats with a
tonnage of five hundred or more.
It was stated that tne order
would undoubtedly bo extended to
include ports on (lie Pacific side so
soon as the neces sary arangements
could be perfected between the De
partment of Justice and the mili
tary war offices. This course is
taken with a view to establish liar
her patrols ami placing them uwU r
command of military authorities
and of taking the juri did ion ovei
harbor water.; out of the jurisdn
tion of the local port authorities.
There is an increasing belief that
the disasters (incurring to the ship
ping has origin in pro-German
source if no' actually perpetrated
by German sympathizers ami it is
believed that in putting the respon
sibility for its nipression under a
centralized command the continu
ing danger <■ in he overcome.
