' HOGGATT IGNORES
ALL FOR HASEY
Guggenheim Officials Wait
While Governor and His
Henchman Converse.
TOUCHING SCENE AT JUNEAU
Man Who Made Keystone Canyon
Famous Makes More History
Eu Route to Cordova.
When the Yucatan tied up at Jun
eau last Saturday Ed Hasey hustled
down the gangplank and greeted Gov.
Hoggatt, who was standing on the
dock, and the twain walked to one
side and held a long, confidential
conversation, while other distinguish
ed Guggenheims stood back and wait
ed for the goveruor to recognize them.
8" W. Eccles and W. It. Rust, Frank
Burns and Stephen Birch were pas
sengers 011 the Yucatau but the gov
ernor saw them not until he finished
his confab with Hasey.
The interview was strictly private
and as no report of its subject matter
has been passed along to a curious
. public the world remains in ignorance
f of the affairs of state, war or finance
•; which were discussed by the Damon
* and Phythias of Guggenhelmdom.
* Mayhap the proletariat will never
'<* know whether the Guggenheim's gov
ernor and minister of war were fram
ing up a new system for the complete
subjugation of Alaska Roughnecks
who resist tho rule of Hoggatt and
Hasey, or wore merely arranging for
Hasey to keep the peace on election
day, in Cordova, whither he was
drifting.
Nevertheless this beautiful scene
afforded much interest to spectators
and not a little to the big Guggen
heims on the boat who figured in the
Hoggatt game like rural callers in
the White House waiting for the pres
ident to get throug talking to Bill j
* Taft.
Seward Is Unable To Play
That there is a bright lining behind
the most gloomy cloud was evidenced j
yesterday afternoon when a message '
from Seward was received stating
that it will be impossible for the ball
players of that town to meet Valdez
tomorrow. The message came less,
than an hour after the announcement i
that the Elsie could not make the1
trip filled with sadness the hearts of
the ball players and the fans. The 1
baseball players were not the only i
ones to suffer because of the fact that
the Elsie management went hack on !
its agreement. Al Grigshy of the I
Valdez Dock Company used to bo i
agont for the Elsie but ho resigned
some time ago. Deepite this fact he
has been taken to task for "going
back on his bargain" and as he had
nothing to do with it he has been
kept busy explaining.

A I
ORDER TO PAY IN
GOLD, RESCINDED.
;
Secretary Of Treasury Can-,
not Resist Frenzied Ap- I
peals Of Seattleites |
Washington, July IS—In responsej
to the frenzied appeals from Seattle
and the more conserative advice of
financiers in general, Secretary of
the Treasury Cortelyou has rescinded
the recent order that payment for
2jold bullion must he made in gold
soin. The former plan of payment !
in exchange on either New York, ]
Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis or j
San Francisco will he resumed.
When the order to pay in gold coin
went into effect Seattle made violent
protest as it would require great ex
pense for the hanks of the city to
keep on hand sufficient gold coin to
pay for the Alaska gold shipments. |
It was feared that the ruling would
result in much of the Alaska gold out- j
put going to San Francisco.

GO WITH GARSEY
Los Angeles Fight Fans Wit
ness Vicious Battle Be
tween Lightweights
Los Angeles, July 18—Brock, the
Cleveland lightweight, found hard
game in Carsey, a Chicago aspirant
for fistic honors, in the fight held here
last night. Brock won in the twen
tieth round with a right swing to the
jaw, Carsey being unconscious for ten
minutes after the knockout.
The fight was the most savage light

also shows the effects of the milling.
A good sized crowd witnessed the
fight.

WOMEN TALK AND

Gossipers Prevent Sending
Alarm by Refusing to Give

LOSS AMOUNTS TO 530.000
Raisin Packing Plant in Fresno
Goes Up in Smoke Because
of Odd Delay.
Fresno, C'al., July IS—Woman's
fondness for gossip combined with her
stubbornness resulted in a $30,000 lire
just at the edge of this city yesterday
afternoon. It was not because the
conversation was heated that the flre
resulted but because of the fact that
the women chose to hold it over a
telephone and refused to give up the
lino to the frantic foreman of the Big
Eagle Raisin Packing House.
No one but central and themselves
knows how long the women had been
talking, and so far this detail has not
become public, but it is known that
they talked for more than tive minutes
after the Are was first discovered and
that they indignantly refused to give
up the line when implored to do so by
the foreman. "Ain't he sassy" said
the woman who was talkiug about
"Jane's husband" and "Let your old
packing house burn" said the other.
Time and again the foreman im
plored that for only a minute he be
granted the use of the line that he
might call the tire department, but,
the only result was abuse for "butting
in," and at last the heat from the
flames drove him from the telephone.
He stood and watched the destruction
of the plant and for all he knows to
the contrary the women are talking
yet.
While the foreman was trying to
telephone, another employe ran six
blocks to the next nearest telephone
and sent in an alarm. The depart
ment responded but arrived too late
to do more than cool off the ruins.
I The plant was owned by Noble Bros.

FOR WIGKERSHAM
'Republicans of First District
Rallying to Support of
Former Judge.
DEFEAT OF CORSOX CERTAIX
Democratic Candidate Has Better
Chance of Victory Than
Ho^att's Man.
Juneau, July IS—Word that James
Wickersham has re-entered the dele
gate tight was received here with
great rejoicing on the part of thos^
opposed to Governor Hoggatt, and to
his candidate, John Corson, Tho
anti-Hoggatt republicans organized
last night and are making all prepara
tions to assure the First district going
for Wickershain by a big majority.
A fat campaign fund has been pledged
and the campaign will extend to
every polling place in the district.
Corson is clearly out of the race in
this section and many of his former
workers have deserted him to go into
the Wickersham camp. Several of
these are among the prominent re
publicans who will take the stump for
Wickersham and the Corson forces
! are stunned by the manner in which
: his following has loft him. They now
! realize that Corson's only hold on the
voters was because he was the only
I out and out republican in the field.
Corson has also lost strength by his
| repeated repudiation of Governor
| Hoggatt. The governor was only
5 supporting Corson because of the
! latter's republicanism and now that
I Wickersham is in the field all except
! two of the Hoggatt newspapers are
I roasting Corson and predicting his
I defeat by both Ronan and Wiuker
1 sham. The support of the other news
papers is divided between Wicker
; sham and Konan, but the Wicker
1 sham men declare that he will poll
practically the entire republican vote
and will get a good slice of the dem
ocratic strength.
Nome Still On a Dead One
Nome, July 17—Cale's election is
: conceded here and despite the fact
j that he has withdrawn hundreds
cheered for him at a monster meeting
held last night. A committee was
' appointed to wire him to renew the
j fight and to apprise him of the at
, titude of the people of the Seward
| peninsula.
It is evident from the foregoing
that Nome, at the timo the message
was filed, had not learned of James
VVlckersham's determination to again
become a candidate for election as
delegate.—Ed.
