Seattle, W ash., July 19.—The Alaska
Dovidtipment Company was organised
tislay. to develop the coal and oil fields
recently discover««! in Southeastern
Alaska by 11. <’. Johnson, of l>»s Ga-
to, Cal. The re|<>rt made to the
«'otnpany by Mr. Johnson and T. J.
Hamilton, of this city, the experts who
made a thorough examination of the
property, shows that the discovery is
really the most wonderful find the
world has ever known. The oil fields
an- located within a few hiindr««! feet
of tidewater, 350 mile* west of Juneau.
The statem ent ts made in good faith
that the oil is dripping directly from
the oil rock and, in places can be «lip-
l>ed up in buckets, w hile the surround
ing coal ls«ls are inexhaustible.
Thirty tlioiiaand feel of pipe has *1-

A promineut oil man has given a
guarantee of ail the capital necessary
to build a refinery there as «non as

as well as other slmckthg crime*
He adm ittal that his right name wa*
John Newman, and that he was born of

<’hi-ago, July 19.—Charles B. Nel
son, who, while in Washington Park
• n the iijght of July 1, in company
with Mrs. Edith M. Staples, was shot
in the breast, expe« ta to learn soon if
he is carrying around a heart with a
ballet hole G,red through ¡L He sub

last night, in the ho|>e of locating the
bullet fired into his chest on that night.
The sciagraphs ser-m to indicate that
the hall cut through the heart on the
shortest and most direct line, to lodge
near the »pine, but they are not quite
conclusive. \\ hen he was brought to
the < hicago hospital the surgeon» said
he was »hot in the heart and was
doomed to death.
He surprised them
by promptly getting better and he was
w ell enough yesterday to go to Wash
ington Park and try to locate the
« lump of hushes near which he and
Mr». Staples were sitting when he was
shot.
W hen the photographic plate« were

trace* of the bullet. One of the plates
showed the bullet in line with the
the spin«* and the ninth rib.
The other indicated it was back of the
junction of the fourth riband the breast
bone. These two p u n ts are in a dire- t
line from chest to back.
It is the opinion of the specialist,
judging from the density of the ballet
spots in the negatives that the bullft
w - ji koiged about two inches in front of
the »(une. If that ie ao, and the ball
traveled in a straight line, it must
have gone through the heart- If it did
not go through the heart, how did it
get around the heart and reach its
pr«*«ent l««*atioti? That i* what trouble*

an«l sargt-oos say the bullet could not

that the ball was not d*-fl««'ted. It will
require another sciagraph showing a
lateral view of the patient’s chert to
determine whether the bullet has
passed through the heart or not. If it
proves to be back of the heart, the
m \stery w ill be greater than ever.
When Nelson was brought to the
hospital and his wound was probed he
lost a pint of blood. The eurgeons
were satisfied his heart was pierced and
sal«i he had but a short tim e to live.
W t»-n he began to recover they Con
cluded that the bullet had pierced the
pericardium, the sack enveloping the
heart, and dropped, perhaps, to the
bottom of the sack after bruising the
heart.
The sciagraphs indicate that
the bullet did not drop, but went
straight ahead in it* coarse, after bor
ing its way through the breast b«-ne.
In taking the sciagraph*. Nelson wa*

hc*spital. with his chest to the Crook«
ln ^e an^ the photographic plate fas-
tened to his back. Several surgeons
and white-cap(»ed nurses were in the
n<»m- The patient held a bit of cloth
to his chest to cover the gaping bullet
bole. His t«ody had been smeared with
cocaine to lessen the irritation and he
declare-! he felt no pain, only a prick
ing sensation.
For several m inutes the company s i
lently watched and listens-1. Then the
patient was tnrned around and the doc
tor held another plate to his chest for
feur minutes. Nelson said he felt no
pain either from his wound or from the
X-rav.
Now that the tariff fight has rounded
up and the South has supplied a target
protective strength than ever before,
the free trade organ« are making one
last effort to offset this damaging fact
by renew ing their asaertions that the
Southern votes cast for protection are
thoae ni Northern men.
Of course nobody who has had an op
portnnity to examine into the fact» is
going to l»e fooled with this sort of
statement, hut as there are many who
probably have not this opfortnnitT, I
pro|«j«e to run hastily over the field
and give everyone a chance to see for
him setlf whether genuine protective
sentim ent is or is not growing among
Southern men.
The data from which this statement
is compiled is obtain«*! from official
records, the birthplace and political
record of the men in question being
furnished by themselves in their auto-
biographie» in the congreseronal direc
tory, the statement» as to vote« cast
iieing from the 1 ongretisional Record.
Five Democrats voted for the tariff
bill in the house, KleG-rg arid Slay-
• len. of Texas, and Broussard, Davey
and Meyer, of Louisiana. Six Demo
crats have voted for high protective fea
ture* of the bill in the senate, Bacon
and Clay, of Georgia, Tillman and Mc
Laurin. of South Carolina, McEnery, of
Louisiana, and Martin, of Virginia.
Every one of these (with the p w ib le

sh-nal dire-'toryi is a native-born South

Senator M. Enery was born in Mon
roe. La., was nominated by the Dem-
ocratic party as lieutenant governor in
18»9, by the *ame party for governor in
1884, by the same party for governor in
1892. and by the same («arty for senator
in 1896, being elected a* a Democratic
senator w ith the clear understanding
that he was a protectionist in senti
ment and that he would so v«»te in the
senate. Mr. Meyer, of Louisiana, who
voted for the tariff hill in the house,
has spent practically his entire life in
the 8outh, educated in Virginia, serv
ing as a Confederate <»ffi>-er and elected
term after term to congress as a Demre
crat. Mr. Davey, of Louisiana, who
voted for the tariff bill in the house,
is a native of Louisiana, held various
offi.-es in the state as a Democrat and
was elected to congress as such. Mr.
Broussar 1. of Louisiana, has held manv
p « itio r s in Louisiana under the Dem-
ocratic party, and was elected to oon-
