GARCIA FORCES PUT
WORKINGMEN TO ROUT
GUADA LA.IARA, Mex—Between
four and five thousand workers, it
it is estimated, have been forced to
leave their homes and places of
employment in the region of Mich
oaean, dominated by the forces of
the rebel leader Jose Inez Chavez
Garcia, as the result of the out
rages by the outlaws. Unable to
pursue their employment and rob
bed repeatedly, they flocked to
larger centers of population for
protection. Without work and food
their condition is reported to be
pitiable.
A fire in the show window of
the Bon Marche, at Anchorage, re
cently cost Barney Simon fifty
dollars.

SEA FIGHTER IS
CALLED BY DEATH
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—Rear
Admiral French E. Chadwick, of
the United States navy, retired,
passed away at his home yesterday,
aged 75 years.
Perhaps as a student and writer
on naval affairs Rear Admiral
Chadwick will have most enduring
fame, although he served during
the Spanish-American war as chief
of staff to Rear Admiral Sampson
and was in all the most serious en
gagements in which the North At
lantic squadron took part. He was
recognized by President McKinley,
among others of the officers of
that squadron, to be promoted five
numbers for his gallant conduct in
battle.
For seven years, from 1882 to
1889, Rear Admiral Chadwick was
naval attache of the American em
bassy in London and was com
mended by Secretary of the Navy
Tracy as one “whose extraordinary
ability and judgment during six
years of difficult service in Eng
land and on the continent have had
a lasting influence upon naval de
velopments in this country.”
Born February 24, 1844, in Mor
gantown, W. Va., Rear Admiral
French Ensor Chadwick, retired,
U. S. N., entered the United States
Naval Academy in 1801, at New
| port, R. I., whither it had been re
; moved on the beginning of the
i Civil War. In September, 1872,
he was appointed instructor in
| mathematics in the naval academy,
[which post he held until 1875.
1 Chadwick married in November,
1878, Cornelia Miller, daughter of
John Bleeker Miller, Utica, N. y.
In 1878 Chadwick was given a
year’s leave of absence to report
on the naval training systems in
England, France and Germany, pre
paring a work which is still recog
nized as standard,
j He was appointed in 1882 naval
! attache to the America embassy in
1 London, v.hcre he remained until
1899. In 1891 he was named a
member of the first board to es
tablish labor organizations of navy
yards on the present civil service
basis and he was inspector of ship
building at the New York Navy
I Yard, where the Battleship Maine
| was then building.
President Cleveland appointed
I him chief of the bureau of equip
ment July 1, 1892, as successor to
Commodore George Dewey. In
1897 he was ordered to the com
mand of the battleship New York,
flagship of the North Atlantic
squadron, under Admiral Sigard
The Maine was destroyed in Ha
vana harbor while the squadron was
at Dry Tortugas and Chadwick was
appointed a member of the board
of inquiry into the disaster.
After his service in the Spanish
American war, Rear Admiral Chad
i
wick was appointed president of
the Naval War College at Newport,
occupying that position in 1903-04.
Rear Admiral Chadwick was re
tired February 28, 1906, since
which time he has written much
that is authoritative and of perman
ent value in regard to naval condi
tions in this and other countries.
One of his most important works
is entitled “The Relations of the
United States and Spain: Diplo
macy”, which gives an intimate
account of the events that led to
the Spanish-American war.

WICKERSHAM SAYS
WORKMENS NEEDS
BEEORE CONGRESS
—
In response to the telegram sent j
to Delegate Wickersham by the Ne
nana Commercial club and a com- !
mittee representing the working- j
men of Nenana in mass meeting ■
assembled, protesting against the |
reduction of forces in the employ:
of the Alaskan Engineering com-:
mission, and asking that immediate <
steps be taken to remedy matters |
and stave off impending distress, j
the following replies were received I
this morning:
Nenana Commercial Club,
Nenana, Alaska.
“Matter of appropriation for
Alaska railroad being carefully
considered by House Appropriation j
committee. Bill cannot probably
pass congress much before March
fourth; considerable agitation here
about investigation Alaskan Engin
eering commission, but am looking
after whole situation carefully.” I
“JAMES WICKERSHAM.” |
- I
The reply to the workmen’s com- j
mittee was addressed to Frank i
Cleary, one of the members of the
committee, and reads as follows: |
Frank Cleary,
Nenana, Alaska.
“Matter appropriation railroad
work being considered; appropria
tion committee acting very slowly,
with much talk of investigation
Alaskan Engineering commission;
nothing definite this time; matter
being carefully attended to.
“JAMES WICKERSHAM.”
In addition to the other telegrams
sent, as chronicled in the News
last evening, by both committees
who are looking after the interests
of this district, the committee of
the workinmen sent the following
messages last night to Senators
Chamberlain of Oregon, and Jones
of Washington:
“Miners of Alaska, native of Ore-!
got] anil Washington, forced by j
high prices necessaries to abandon
mining and seek employment on '

“CHARLES N. GRAHAM, I
“FRANK CLEARY,
“R. C. MORRIS,
“Committee Employees A. E. C.”
The Commercial clulj. committee
jhave called a meeting for 9:30 j
tonight for the purpose of discussing !
Delegate Wickersham’s reply and
taking any further action that may
seem proper at this time. Notice
calling the meeting will be found
elsewhere in these columns.
The replies received, - although
not very definite, hold «i}t some
hope of early relief, and R is the
intention of both committees to
hasten action as much as possible
in order that the men who have
been laid off may be put back to
work before they leave the country
in disgust. 1 -

According to reports received
'rom Fairbanks by phone today,
Lleorge Moody, who stampeded to
;he Salcha country, returned to
Fairbanks today.
He stated that Frank Lawson,
[Iirschberger and Williams, work
up on Joy creek, which is about
75 miles from Munson’s roadhouse,
n the upper Salcha country, have
;unk four holes, petting- bedrock
»t from 12 to 21 feet, but they
rave not struck pay yet.
Prospectors on the benches have
panned colors and there is every
indication of there being- a pay
streak near.
Moody is very optimistic, and
thinks that there will be a little
•amp in the Salcha country. He
says the country where the pros
pecting is going on looks very much
like old Cleary creek.
He says he met sixteen men on
the trail headed toward the dig
gings.

from Fairbanks, having made the
