ONE OP BOVLE'S BIG •
DREDGES FILLS AND SINKS
Daw-son News, Oct. 10th; Boyle's
fine large dredge No. 2 sauk in
twenty to thirty-five feet of water
iu the Klondike river opposite the
Bear creek bluff at 1: at) o'clock
tuis morning.
General .Manager J. W. Bo.vle and
a large crew are at work trying to
save the dredge. Mr. Boyle announces
that the Klondike river will be
turned at a point near the mouth
of Bear creek and the dredge right
ed and gotten into shape as soon
as possible. He hopes to have
her in operation again this year.
The cause of the dredge*, sinking
is a mystery, she was working in
the river in the usual way when the
crew noticed she was down excep
tionally far by the head, and in
fifteen minutes she had filled so
rapidly her hull was under water.
She may have struck a snag or a
rock. Only fifteen minutes before,'
says Mr. Boyle, the interior of the I
hull had been inspected and found I
in good order. The boat now lies j
with a list to starboard. The crew
aboard at the time the boat sank
'•omprised McKinley, wiuchman; !
Wick man, oiler; and McRae and Sla
vin, deckers. Mr. Boyle says this
is one of the best crews in the
service, and he is mystified as to
the cause of the accident. The boys
on the boat were in no immediate
danger.
Dredge No. 2, is the pioneer big
boat of the Canadian Klondike
fleet, with a daily capacity of 15.
000 cubic yards. She and her sis
ter boats of the same company
here are the largest gold dredges
iu the world. No. 2 ocst a cool
$425,000, ready to operate.
I.RGES LAW TO AID
ILLEGITIMATE CHILD
Chicago, Oct. 21—Legislation
giving an illegitimate child the right
to hear its father's name and full
rights of inheritance are re
commended by Judge Joseph Z
Uhlir of the Court of Domestic Re
lations, a cribunal that has attract
ed attention the world over, in his
review of the results or the third
year of the court.
"The father of an illegitimate
child gets off entirely too light in
this state," said Judge Uhlir. "If
a man deceives a girl and a child
is horn, he may discharge all his
obligations by paying $100 the first
year and $5o a year thereafter till
$55o is paid. Or he may avoid pay
ing money by spending six months 1
jail. When it has been judicially
determined that the defendant is
the father of a child boru out of
wedlock, does it not seem just that
the child should get the full bene
fit of this finding?"

SUPREME COURT CQXCfVXm
YE8TERBAY AT WAttBNOfG«
Washington, Oot 20—Meeting y«E«
terday for the first time since the
summer recess for the purpose of
handling down decisions, the su
preme court of the United States
has a docket of already argued
cases of great importance. None
of the cases equals in interest sev
eral of those handed down last sea
son. But there are a number of
knotty problems in the settlement
of which there is the most Intense
interest in a number of localities.
One of thesu is the Maryland
"Grandfather" case. This law
would not prevent negroes from vot
ing for federal officers, but in
state and municipal elections pro
vides that, amor.g other thingB, a
man can vote 1* his ancestors vot
ed prior to January ,1 1868, or be
fore negroes were enfranchised.
This law was applied in Annapolis,
capital of Maryland, and fot'r ne
groes have appealed the case up to
the supreme court. It is one of
the most peculiar "Grandfather"
clauses ever brought, up to the
supreme court, iB that it do«g not
bar negroes, even in its practical
working out, from voting for presi
dent and congressmen.
Another race question decision
which will be handed down in the
near future, probably, if not today,
will be that on the Oklahoma "Jim
Crow" law, providing that common
carriers must provide separate
compartments for white and black
passengers.
A case in which men connected
with big businesses are vitally in
terested is the case of George G.
Henry versus U. S. Marshal Henkel of
N. Y. On this decision hange the
power of a congressional committee
to force an unwilling witness to
testify before it. Henry was a
partner in the firm of William Sal
omon and Co., Wall street brokers.
He refused to testify before the
tamous Punjo "Money Trust" in
vestigation committee.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WANTS
INVESTIGATION BE THOROUGH
I
T. W. Gregory, attorney general
of the United States, wants the in-1
vestigationa into the 1'ise of the
prices of food to be thorough. A
second circular has been sent to
the district attorneys in Alaska,
which says in part;
"The capitalization of misfortune
and oppression on our own people j
by the arbitary increase of the price
of food Btuffs are so peculiarly re
prehensible that whenever convic
tion can be obtained, the govern- .
went, should insist upon sentences of ■
imprisonment—no fines or civil ]
remedies are deemed adequate.
"You are Instructed to promptly:
ask for indictments whenever the
facts will permit to push these to
early trial and upo» conviction, to
insist upon maximum prison sen
tences"
