LOWDEN UNDER THE GUN
SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 12—A
resolution has been introduced in
the state legislature by Represent
ative Rice, Democrat, proposing an
j investigation of the charge, made by
a Chicago newspaper, that Govern
or Lowden, while campaigning as a
candidate for the presidency, used
the state’s money to pay hotel ex
penses for himself and secretaries.
Suppose a banker would agree to
place $2,000 to the credit of a
man’s family, issued a pass book to
the family and agreed to let Diem
check out the full amount if the
j man died at any time during the
next twenty years, provided he
j would deposit in the bank $100
;i every year; with the further guaran
! tee that should the man live to the
1! expiration of the period, the banker
i would allow HIM to check out the
! money, and, in addition thereto, al
| low him the interest earned on this
! class of deposits. Wouldn’t that be
]a pretty good proposition? It would,
1 but no banker could safely make
! the offer—yet, that is in effect the
S offer the New York Life Insurance
] Company makes. See R. S. McDon
; aid, local agent.

considerable number of men wer
sent out the line yesterday to mak<
repairs to the grade betweei
Bridge 7 and Bridge 8, on the “D'
line a few miles south of town
where considerable damage has re

Fred C. Ferrell, master mechanic
of the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission, with headquarters at An
chorage, arrived in town on Mon
day to inquire into needs of the
local machine shops, and enjoyed
the unusual experience while here,
of witnessing a real breakup, which
entitles him to recognition as a
sourdough. He started on the re
turn trip to Anchorage this morn
ing, his hurried return being due to
a desire to get home before the
Broad Pass trail goes to pieces.
BREAKUP CAUSES DAMAGE
TO NENANA WATERFRONT
Considerable damage to the water
front, on the railroad reserve, re
sulted yesterday wfnen the ice moved
down river. The first run of ice
broke off a number of piles at the
front of the dock, and another
run, several hours later, caused ad
ditional damage.
The first ice run also carried the
A. Y. N. barge Idaho and a rail
barge down river from their winter
moorings to a point in front of the
Casey warehouse, and it was feared
that a later run would carry the
barges out. The liberal use of dyna
mite, however, under the direction
of Wharfinger Jack Bellerby, broke
up the jammed ice sheet close to
the boats, and they withstood the
later run, except for slight damage
to the rail barge. Two hundred dol
lars will repair the harm done. The
other barges of the company, which
were thought to be in dangerous
positions, are also reported to have
escaped. .
Mail was dispatched for lower
river points this afternoon, by boat.
