EXPERIENCES ARE TOLD Craft Struck During the, Dark Hours and Tore a Hole by Scraping on the Reef. The crow of the wrecked steamer Independent wcro aboard the Mari posa this afternoon bound for So attle. The boat struck on a chart ed reef on the coast of Middleton Island at 4:50 o'clock on the morn ing of October Oth and is a total loss, having sunk in twenty fathoni6 of water. The members of the crew escaped in the dories but IobI all of their personal effects with the exception of the clothing they wore. The ship's papers wcro saved by the captain. Ai uie time 01 nit- wrixH, ac cording to the Btory told by Captain Miller, the Independent was steer ing a course to clear the Island by about IS miles, but a southeaster J was blowing and a strong current was setting towards the island which set the boat on the reef in the darkness. She struck three times before she finally settled for the last time. ? At the time the Independent struck first it was dark, but the crow did not abandon her until 8 o'clock in the morning. The last time she struck the rudder was carried away ami she was entirely helpless.. The wind was blowing so hard that the regular dory crews could not handle the boats and they were being driven on the lee side of the island where the shore was absolutely straight up and down.. The crews were doubled up in the dorys and they were ablo to row away from the rocks and round the Island. The survivors were entirely with out food of any kind, but were sup plied by Mr. Ibeck, who keeps a fox ranch on the Island and were taken to Cordova by him in his gus boat. The Independent was owned by the National Independent Fish Company, of Seattle. PRESIDENT IS PLEASED WITH KIND APPLAUSE INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 13.?Presi dent Wilson was the guest of honor yesterday of the Highway Day" held in connection with the Centennial of Indiana's admisson to the Union. President Wilson declared at a non partisan luncheon that when he heard the kinw applause given him in Indiauapolis he believed that the people approved his interpretation of the spirit of America. After saying he was interested par ticularly in the American flag of the United States, the President smiling ly declared that he knew there were Republicans present who were as good Americans as he, and that after fighting for a few more weeks both parties would work for the common good of the nation. The Emperor of Russia Is said to be the finest royal singer in the world. WICKERSHAM, THE RAILROAD AND POLITICS Dispatches from Seward say Delegate Wickersham accused the Democrats of trying to drag the Alaska railroad Into politics, and he is reported to have de clared that the railroad was se cured through the co-operation of Democrats and Republicans. This is characteristic of Dele gate Wickersham. He never met an Issue face to face In his life. The truth is that the ALASKA RAILROAD BECAME A POLI TICAL ISSUE WHEN WICKER SHAM SAID AT JUNEAU, DOUG LAS AND ELSEWHERE, quot ing literally and word for word, "I GOT THE RAILROAD." The Delegate thought it was all right to make a political is sue out of the railroad as long as he thought he could make it count for himself. When the records of Congress and the testi mony of those who know were presented and dispoved the Del egate's contention, he Bceks to withdraw the proposition as a campaign issue. The fact is Wickersham has ' boasted about getting the rail road for years, and he only seeks to divide the honors with others when the produced record has shown the falsity of his ' claims, and demonstrated that the credit is chiefly due to others. ' MEKCHANTS ASK CHANGE IN THANKSGIVING DATE: KANSAS CITY, Oct. 13.?

SENATOR TANNER INFORMS VOTERS OF HIS VIEWS Continued from Page One oral government would pay the same costs as It docs to the private parties at the present time for their main tenance and care. "I would endeavor to get legisla tion allowing all moneys from the i Forest Reserve fund to be expended the Division In which the forest ireserve is located. "I would endeavor to have house bill No. 50 amended so that natives would not have the right to arrest or puss upon the guilt or innocence of white people. 1 "I believe the present law should be amended, or a new law enacted not allowing as the present law docs, so much chance for illegal voting. 1 believe the election law should provide for the registration of voters in all municipalities for all elections, Tcrltorial as well as municipal. "I believe the present compensa tion law should be amended so that liability companies could not set tle with benificlarics of the law without a settlement being approved .by either the Attorney-General or a Commissioner appointed to adjust claims. "I would endeavor to have the Legislature memorialize Congress to give us a full Tcrltorial form of government, the same, as that al lowed other Territories, recognizing the Territory's right to enact Iuwr governing all of its utilities and in stitutions and the various phases of local affairs, Including schools, roads, the police powers, the liquor and gambling and kindred matters. In short, tho government of Alaska should be vested in the people of Alaska instead of the Departments at Washington. With a full Terri torial form of government tho peo ple of Alaska could solve their own problems, and provido for the dovel-j opment of the Teritory and the ex pansion of its business."
