CONGRESSMAN FREE
There was no one in the Capital City who extended
themselves more in behalf of Alaska than did Congress
man Arthur G. Free, the gentleman from California, who
set the ears of the nation agog and tongues a-wagging
when he made the blase statement last fall: ‘Tear up the
Alaska Railroad and construct a wagon road.” The gorge
of the average Alaska rose up to protest in vehement
terms the statement of Mr. Free who had simply passed
thru the Territory a few month previous. Congressman
Free spoke directly out from the shoulder, as man to man
—no subterfuge existing, but a man who spoke his own
convictions. Later, when he became convinced he had ut
tered a wrong statement, he once more proved a he-man
by listening to reason and did everything possible to as
sist. And his assistance was invaluable, according to Noel
W. Smith, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, and
George Sexton- republican national committeeman from
Alaska and resident of Seward, both of whom spoke to
The Gateway of the many courtesies extended them by
Mr. Free while they were both at Washington, on separ
ate business missions, of course. Mr. Smith feels much
thanks are due Mr. Free for his untiring efforts in Alas
ka’s behalf, but Mr. Sexton voiced an expression which
tells the story in a nut-shell when he stated: “Mr. Free
went down the line for the Territory.’
BOY SCOUTS OF
NEW YORK SEEK
EAGLE FEATHERS
demand exceeds supply —
JUNEAU JUDGE SWAMPED
WITH ORDERS
Eagle feathers, wing and tail sets,
from Alaska are in strong demand l^y
Boy Scouts in New York, according
to U. S. Commissioner V. A. Payne,
in the Juneau Empire. His efforts
to secure supplies to fill the orders
so far have fallen short of accom
plishment.
One batch, the only one he was
able to purchase, was sent outside
late last year. It was exhausted
quickly and many of the boys were
unable to get any part of it. A
second order was sent to Mr. Paine
with an inquiry as to the extent he
,would be able to fill future requests.
Inquiries locally' failed to produce
any results,' but Judge Paine is
hopeful that hunters, when Spring
opens, will recognize the opportunity
and bring in enough wings and tails
to fill all orders.
The scoutmaster of the troop seek
ing to get feathers wrote Mr. Paine:
“The element of romance in getting
wings direct fro mthe hunters in Al
aska appeals to the boys very sfron
ly and has prompted them to study
up quite a bit on Alaska.”
The feathers are used by the Scouts
in making Indian regalia which is
wrorn on certain occasions Other
troops are interested and if possible
would like to purchase from Alaska
also.

Some of the gifts presented to Capt. George Fried and crew of
S. S. President Roosevelt. In the center is the silver loving cup
presented by the King of England. At right and below the cup is a
silver flashlight given Capt. Fried. To left of cup is a gold watch,
a gift to Capt. Fried from the Associated Press. At extreme right and
left are scrolls presented respectively by the City of New York and
the State of New Jersey.
LL the world loves a hero.
When the steamship
President Roosevelt, of the
United States Lines, sailed
from New York for Ply
mouth, England, on her latest voy
age, she carried with her a veritable
museum of gifts from the mightiest
and the humblest people of two con
tinents—gifts which w'ill memorial
ize for all time the Roosevelt’s
rescue of the officers and men of
the Dritish freighter Antinoe.
A silver loving cup from the King
of England, pennies from the school
children of New York, a gold wratch
from the Associated Press, a silver
cigarette case from Captain Tose,
of the ill-fated Antinoe, a Navy
Cross presented to Captain George
Fried, of the Roosevelt, by the
President of the United States, a
scroll from the City of New York
and another from the State of New
Jersey, four silver flashlights pre
sented by one of the largest manu
facturing companies in the United
States—these and many other tok
ens of the love that the people of
the “Old World” and the “New”
have in their hearts for pure hero
ics, were borne by the Roosevelt.
And some of them will be on display
in a special trophy room of the
famous ship as long as she sails
the seas. When the proud vessel
is no longer fit for the tremendous
battle against wind and wave, these
trophies will be given a permanent
place of honor by the United States
Line.
Great Gifts arid Small
Soma of these presents, of course,
werepeiwoftal gttta io the brave
Captain Fried and his offlcen kad
men of the President Roosevelt.
Some of them, too, were gifts of the
generous American people to mem
bers of the crew of the storm;con
quered Antinoe. The gifts of money,
totaling thousands of dollars and
raised by free will offerings of the
dollars of the well-to-do and pennies
of the poor in New York City, will
he devoted first to relieving the
needs of relatives of the two men
who lost their lives in the rescue
work, Master-at-Arms- Uno Witanen
and Boatswain’s Mate Ernest Heit
man, both of the President Roose
velt, and second to rewarding the
personal bravery shown by the
Roosevelt’s boat crews, under First
Officer Robert Miller.
Story of the Flashlights
The four silver flashlights which
are among the valued trophies of
the rescue that thrilled the whole
world, are mementoes of a remark
able incident in the picturesque
modern drama of the sea. One of
them bears the name of Arthur
Evans, radio operator of the Anti
noe, and is a special gift from Cap
tain Fried to that resourceful young
man who, when the Antinoe’s radio
failed, maintained contact between
the two vessels during four terrible
nights by blinking Morse code mes
sages with a small flashlight. Cap
tain Fried is taking this handsome
and powerful new flashlight, which
throws a clear, white beam a dis
tance of 500 feet and which can be
seen in signal work from a distance
of more than six miles, to Plymouth,
to be presented to Evans there. '1
' The other three sfirer -flashlights, ’
«afeh suitably engraved, art : rifts
Capt. Fried is here shown
with two powerful silver flash
lights, -suitably engraved to
commemorate the rescue of the
crew of the Antinoe. One ot
these hand searchlights is a
gift to Capt. Fried from the
manufacturer. The other is
Capt. Fried’s gift to Arthur
Evans, radio operator of the
Antinoe.
of the manufacturer who built them
especially for Captain Fried, First
Officer Robert Miller and Fourth
Officer Frank Upton, of the Presi
dent Roosevelt. Upton, it will be
recalled, was in charge of the
Roosevelt’s radio and picked up the
wireless messages which brought
the Roosevelt plunging through the
storm to aid the stricken Antinoe.
It was Upton who also maintained
signal contact with Evans on boa d
the Antinoe during these four h . i
ing nights when only the blinking
dots and dashes from Evans’ tiny
flashlight assured the officers and
men of the Roosevelt that the starv
ing* half-frozen and helpless seamen
were clinging with a laat desperate
hope to the battered hulk that had
been their proud ship.
