SELDOVIA NATIVES
ARE IN SAD PLIGHT
(Valdez Prospector).
The following letter to the Pros
pector from Mrs. Fred J. Cameron,
of Seldovia, is self-explanatory, and
opens the way to those charitably in
clined to place their offerings where
they are much needed and will do the
maximum amount of good. There is
undoubtedly a large amount of used
clothing in Valdez that could be
brought to light with little effort. The
letter reads:
“Will you, through your paper, ask
the mothers of Valdez for any and all
kinds of clothing that can be used for
the natives of this place.
“I find a case of two small chil
dren who have no mother and are in
need of help. Also many others to
whom it will be necessary later.
“I have written to Mr. Lopp in re
gard to the need of aid in placing
these children and others in better
surroundings. Shoes and stockings
would be very acceptable, as these
children went barefooted all last win
ter. They are aged from three to sev
en years.
“Any clothing sent to Mrs. Hermar
Syring will be forwarded to me.”

City Prisoners
Need Not Work,
Says Jennings
In a decision handed down by Judge
R. W. Jennings recently at Juneau in
the matter of the application for a
wilt of habeas corpus by Peter Col
lander, he held that the municipal
magistrates of the cities of the terri
tory had no authority under the law
to require city prisoners to work on
the streets or any place while serving
out sentences, and also that they were
without authority to imprison a con
victed man for non-payment of a fine
assessed by the city magistrate. The
writ was granted and the release of
Collander ordered.
The decision is a sweeping one and
will revolutionize the practice of mu
nicipal courts over the entire terri
tory, and particularly in Juneau,
where the city prisoners have been
compelled to work on the streets for
the past three or four months.
Peter Collander was arrested re
cently and tried for being drunk and
disorderly. He was fined and ordered
to work for the city at .$2.00 per day
until the amount of*his fine had been
worked out. Collander refused to work
and was placed in a solitary cell where
he remained during the hearing of
his application for the writ.
Under the provisions of the law
which is contained in Section 627, sub
division 10, of the compiled laws of
Alaska, the powers of the municipal
magistrates are clearly defined, ac
cording to the ruling and all acts go
ing beyond the powers as outlined are
void and illegal.
All city ordinances passed by mu
nicipal council bodies which exceed the
authorities as laid down in the com
piled laws are also void and until
some special legislation touching on
the matter is passed by congress the
cities of the territory will be unable
to collect fines through imprisonment,
or cause the prisoner to work for the
city in any manner during his con
finement.
AUTHORITY TO ORGANIZE
NATIONAL GUARD GRANTED
By an act passed by congress and
approved on June 13, 1916, by Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson, Governor J. F.
A. Strong is authorized to organize
several companies of national guard
in the territory of Alaska.
The act passed is “for making fui
ttier and more effectual provisions for
the national defense, and for other
purposes,” and includes Alaska, Ha
waii, Porto ltico and the Canal Zone.
The bill also provides that these dis
tricts and territories shall receive
their pro rata of all appropriations
made by congress for the mainten
ance of the national guard of the Uni
ted States. A certified copy of the
act has been received by Governor
Strong, but no other word from either
the war department or the president
has been received by him.
The number of men to be enlisted in
the national guard of the territoiies
shal be determined by the president
and until some word is received from
Washington nothing can be done to
wards the organization of the Alaska
national guard.
There has been a demand for a na
tional guard organization in Alaska
for some time, but under the old reg
ulations it was impossible. When Gov
ernor Strong was east this summer
he urged that Alaska be included in
the preparedness will then being pre
parde by Senator Chamberlain, of
Oregon, and his request was granted.
As soon as the appropriations have
been apportioned between the states
and territories, and the numerical
strength of the guard of Alaska is de
termined, undoubtedly Governor
Strong will be authorized to proceed
with the organization.
Governor Strong has said that the
act as passed provides for the orga
nization of the antional guard and
that he is only awaiting the word
from Washington to proceed.
