Republican National
Committee Overrides
Ballots of Alaskans
Alaska Examiner.
The Associated Press dispatches an
nout^e that George Sexton, who was
sleeked a delegate from Alaska, to the
?epuJ>lioan national convention, has,
afteij a conference with the carpet-bag
3lemjent of the bi-partisans of the Ter
ritory, had himself appointed by the
natiqnai committee as one of its mem
bers* notwithstanding the fact that the
tieopje of Alaska, in accordance with
the lpwa of the Territory, elected John
"W. Krame to that position.
This insult and betrayal to the suc
:ess£ul candidate is o* very little im
portance in comparison with that
shomi to the people of Alaska, for it is
a brarec announcement that the* old
ring, system of selecting officials is
stronger than the voice of the people,
3ven,wheo they are acting under au
thor i,ty of laws, enacted by their legis
lator?
It shows, further, that the lawless
political combination of democrats and
republicans in Alaska have given up
l»ll hope of securing the repeal o! the
-primary election law and have
banded
'fhemsel7es together for the purpose of
bveryiding the voice of the people,
fairly aivH Taw I
L'airly and lawfully expressed, at all
Twice thi3 same band of political pi
atejj have attempted to defeat the

delegate to Congress. .The attempted
defeat of the people’s choice for Dele
gate was to prevent the recommenda
tions of real Alaskans to federal posi
tions. Failing in this they took up;
the other horn of their political di
lemma, and aro now attempting to de
feat the confirmation of a national com*
uiitteeman by the people.
In this way they hope to cause »
“quarrel” between the Delegate and
“their” committeeman for the purpose
delivering the appointment of a Gov
ernor over to some carpetbagger who
will play into th a bands of the bi-par
tisan combination in the Territory and
thereby rob, rape and ruin. Alaska and
her people.
'.Diabolical Rav-Goes
Into British Control
Paris.— England getu the “death
ray.” A contract drawn up* today

pounds sterling, to promote ezperi

beam, which may revolutionise war
fare.,
• A. H. Cayley, a London millionaire,
who supplied clothing to the British
army in wartime, heads the new com
pany, and tbo British government is to
be given an option on whatever won
ders are developed. Matthews retains
a 50 per cent interact in his death ray.
Thus ends the war of nations over
possession of the secret of the ray, aud
also injunction proceedings against the
inventor.

and promised a startling demonstration
of how to make England safe from

Blind Boy Gains Sight,
Cripples Quit Crutches,
Faith Cure Stirs Crowd
New York.—“lean see,” cried a lit
tle boy at the altar rail of St. Paul’s
chapel today. Rev. Dr. B. H. Bell, oi
Denver, was conducting a faith beating
service. Hundreds of men, women and
children, some crippled, some blind,
sick in body or miDd, filled the chapel.
One by one they were moving up to the
altar, some leaning on crutches, others
led by friends, feeling their way with
groping hands. Shortly after 2 o’clock
the service was under way.
The little boy screamed that he could
see, and from the lame, the halt and
the Mind in the motley congregation
rose a murmur of a wo. How blind the
boy had been nc one knew, but ho un
doubtedly could sea.;
Then a woman, in the audience shout
ed: “I’ve been cured* Qr praise tb®
Lord. I’ve been cured’” Her hysteria
was contagious. Cripples threw down
their canes and crutches and cried that
they were welh A rush for the altar
started. Women with babies were
caught in the rush. They cried out in
pain and fear, adding to the tumult in
the chapel. *
A sexton held up his hand, crying:
‘‘Stops In Cod’s name!”
The congregation would not stop its
freDnied scramble to reach Dr. Bell.
The preacher was forced to send for
police reserves, who calmed the dis
order, six stalwart bluecoots struggling
with the excited sick folk in.the chape!
aisles.
Dr Bell a resident of Dfenver where
be lectures In St. Tfteitias’ church, said
that the faith of his patients would
cure them.
"I do not claim the power of healiog,
7 mereiy’cocduet the service in which
it is stressed- that God -heals- and that
faith in the curative powers of God will
make all wbo believe well again.” i
One of the members of a colored
church in Alahama was talking to the
pastor about the temptations Satan
places in one s path, when the old
preacher grunted and replied: "Folks
makes me tired representin’ Satan as
runnin'after dem to tempt-dem. De
truth is, my friend, dere is so many
people pullin’ at de debbil’s coattails
dat he ain't got much time to chase

Mr, P^ck—What a wonderful view!
Mrs. Peck—You keep your eyes on

Fees for the Defense
of Leopold and Loeb
Chicago.—The Leopold rnd Loeb
families are not going to pay millions
for defense. After conferences with
attorneys they have decided to submit
the case to the Chicago Bar Associa
tion uud. if a change of venue is ob
tains.., to the 8cate Bar Association to
fit: the fees for the defense. It is a
delicate question to put U[ to the Bar
Association.
The Leopold an Loeb families are
firmly rooted in Chicago, and do not
wish to be put in the attitude of using
their millions to thwart justice. They
propose to h&ve the Chicago or State
Bar Association fir the fees of all law
yers and all alienists for the defense,
and if the Mosaio law- is enforced they
will acquiesce.
“Only such defense as that [to which
every human being is entitled will be
provided for their sons,'’ tbe' two
fathers announced through their coun
sel. “Assuming the faots in this ease
are substantially as published, then
the only proceeding they favor is a sim
ple, solemn investigation under the
law, touching tho mental responsibility ,
of their accused sons.”
