Ed L. Whittemore, elected chair
man of the district by the convention,
this morning issued the following
statement regarding the action of the
convention: ,
“Prior to the Seward convention,
held last spring. Lewis Shackleford in
the First division, and many republi
cans in the other divisions, let it be
understood that in the interests of
harmony in the republican party, they
were in favor of the nomination of
James Wickersham as the republican
candidate.
“This sentiment was fostered care
fully and used by Shackleford as a
means of getting sufficient proxies in
the First division to control that sec
tion. H
“It is known that the nomination of
Wickersham was favored in the Sec
ond and Fourth divisions, ami had the
proxies held by the delegates from
those sections been voted in accord
with the sentiment of the men '.vho
gave them, Wickersham easily woul<
have been nominated.
“The sentiment created by the re
publicans in favor of Wickersham be
fore'the Seward convention developed
and is favored by the rank and file of
the republicans, who had demanded
his nomination at the Seward conven
tion.
“The nominating committee ap
pointed at Seward has failed to name
a candidate, and in answer to the de
mand of the republicans of the terri
tory, a demand created by Shackle
ford and his supporters, the conven
tion at Valdez endorsed the candidacy
of Wickersham, thus carrying out the'
will of the republicans, which the
Seward convention refused to do.”

NEW YORK, July 24.—The United
Copper Securities company, which
has acquired the copper interests of
Otto Heinze & Co., sought judgment
yesterday for $12,000,000 in the Unit
ed States district court here against
the Amalgamated Copper company,
the Anaconda Copper Mining compa
ny, the Butte Coalition Mining com
pany, and others, when an amended
complaint in the suit under the Sher
j man law was filed. It is alleged that
i Otto Heinze & Co. were damaged in
| excess of $4,000,000 and under the
law threefold damages were asked.
The complaint alleges that certain
of the defendants sought to influence
the courts of Montana to deprive Ot
to Heinze & Co., illegally of the right
and interest in the Minnie Healy
mine. It is further alleged that
$250,000 was offered as a bribe to a
judge if he would grant a new trial,
and when the judge refused efforts
were made to have him impeached.
Other charges in the complaint
against the defendants were that in
1807 they caused the smelter and con
centrator of the Montana Ore Pur
chasing company to be set on fire, and
at the time of the blaze had the water
supply cut off for an hour and a quar
ter. This and other acts, the com- !
plaint alleges, were the results of a \
conspiracy to restrain interstate trade
and commerce and create a monopoly.
Bring tis your gaarment troubles.

SCARLET FEVER RAGES
AMONG AMERICAN MARINES
PEKING, July 24.—Scarlet fever
broke out among the two hundred
American marines stationed at Pck
ng as a guard at the American le
gation. In an effort to prevent the
pread of the disease, Colonel Ne
ville, commander of the guard, or
lered tho men to move out %f the
barracks and placed them under
canvas, with only two men in each
tent. The tents were pitched on the
recreation ground adjoining the le
gation compound, and outside the
compound wall, where all Chinese
could see them plainly.
Immediately a rumor circulated
that the American legation had
brought extra troops from the Phil
ippines to protect foreigners against
possible rioting which might result
from the unsettled political condi
tions and the financial stringency
brought about by the moratorium.
'Ihis rumor grew, and added to it was
a report that the Japanese were also
to bring in thousands of troops from
Tsingtau and Japan for the protec
tion of foreigners.
These reports became so insistent
that the Chinese government issued
a formal denial, explaining the rea
son for the tented colony outside the
American legation compound.
Only five of the American marines
have the scarlet fever. These are
quarantined in a gun-shed on the city
wall adjoining the legation.
BELUGA SKINS MAKE
SHOES FOR THE WOMEN
SEATTLE, Wash., July 24.—A
shipment of ten tons of skins of the
beluga, or white whole, taken in Ber
ing sea, from Seattle to the east, ‘to
be made into white shoes for women, ’
has caused widespread comment and
inquiry. One leather trade paper de
clared that it would be impossible to
convert the beluga skin into shoe lea
ther, the beluga being a fish. Alaska
fishermen have offered to furnish
skins in quantity if a steady market
is offered for them. Inquiry among
whaling authorities brings out these
facts.
The beluga is not a true whale, but
a porpoise. It attains a length of 12
feet, abounds in Arctic and sub-Arc
tic waters, and feeds chiefly on cuttle
fish, but also eats otherfish, and is re
puted to pursue salmon up the larger
spawning streams,' notably the Yukon.
The principal market for beluga skins
t'us been London and the price paid
there has been so high that the leath
er nas not come into competition with
the hides of' cattle. At present the
London hide market is disorganized
by the war.
Beluga skin is said to make good
belting and shoe leather, even white
leather for women’s shoes, but ab
sence of an established market has
limited the supply and kept prices
high. The beluga also yields very
valuable oils ,it is said.

clad in a deerskin suit.
Knowles didn’t want the women,
with him, so he chose one of them,
Mrs. Emily Davis, whose husband was
killed in the fighting in northern
France recently and who is an experi
enced woodswoman, to take charge
of the six Eves after he has chosen
a camp for them and left preliminary
instructions in the art of finding edi
ble roots and how to make snares,
traps and fish nets of grasses and fi
bre. This corsetless, unhairpinned
and non-mirrored sextet of Eves will
live for a month in the secret camp
in the Adirondacks, then Knowles will
go back to get them.
OPTIMISTIC ARCHITECT
PEDDLES TO LONDONERS'
LONDON, July 24.—In 1075 Lon
don’s population will have increased #
to 20,000,000, Arthur Crow, leading
architect, told the Royal Society
Arts, while outlining plans for hous
ing so many people. To provide com
fortable quarters for such a popula
tion would require 1,040 square miles,
allowing 30 persons to the acre for
the whole area. This would mean,
Mr. Crow added, a city with a radius
from its center of 18 miles.
