SENATE ELECTS
I
■
JUNEAU, March 2—Daniel A. Suth
erland was elected to the position of
president of the senate when the ses
sion opened yesterday. There was
no contest for the positions, the se
lections having been perfected nt
caucuses held on Friday and Satur
day.
Senator H. F. Millard is reported to
have been In a receptive mood should
the honors fall on him, but Senator
Frank A. Aldrich, of Nome, was the
| only active candidate for the position
which was occupied during the first
! term by Senator L. V. Ray, of Seward.
, Ernest B. Collins, of Fairbanks, was
%
renamed speaker of the assembly, hav
ing proved a capable and fair presid
ing officer during the term two years
ago. Representative Arthur 0. Shoup
of Sitka made an active bid for the
speakership but could not overcome
1 Collins’ support from the Second,
Third and Fourth divisions.
C. W. Maltby, of the Fourth divis
ion, who believed he had been elected
a member of the legislature and made
a long trip over the winter trail with
his wife from Tditarod to Seward only
to find that he had been defeated by
Representative Snow, was given the
clerkship of the senate.
Barry Kewon, of Nome, was ap
pointed clerk of the House.
Joseph A. Dieringer, of Valdez, was
appointed Sergeant-at- arms. The
other appointments were not made, but
all the offices will be filled within a
few days.

Kvery important mill in the Hud

COLLEGES DEPLETED
ACCOUNT OF ID
(By Associated Press Correspondence) j
LONDON, Feb. 17—The winter term
at Oxford University, known as
“Lent" or “Hilary," was never more
Lenten or less Hilarious.
There were 1,200 undergraduates
left for the autumn term, but now
there are only 1,000. No new stu
dents arrive, for the upper-class boys
in the public schools are being taken
directly into the army as officers as
fast as they are ready. Of the var
ious colleges which go to make up
the composite whole which is known
as the “University," Corpus Christi
College is the nearest empty, having
only 22 students left, St. Edmund’s
hall has 25, and Trinity College 26.
A considerable proportion of the
students still in attendance are the
Rhodes scholars and other men from
foreign countries, particularly the
Americans. They practically monop
olize what is left of college sports.
| and theyi. also take the majority of
# *
scholastic honors.

MISSING SEMITE
FOUND DEAD IN CABli
The body of King Thurman wai
found In a cabin on the Chlckaloor
Flats on February 27 by Jack Howell
The body was terribly decompose!
and the finder decided not to .touch
them. Thurman had been missing
since last July and many efforts were
made to ascertain his fate. It had
been supposed that he had a cabir
which he used for hunting purpose!
In the flats but none of the searcher!
have gone that way. Jack Rowel
and Dune Little were trapping anil
hunting in the neighborhood Iasi
month, and Mr. Howell, seeing th(
cabin decided to look at it with a
view to spending the night there. On
entering he saw the body of Thurman
lying in the bed with one arm doubled
up beneath It. The remains w-ere in
so horrible a state that he decided not
to touch them and the government
will probably arrange immediately to
have the man burled.—Gateway.

ALLIES REFUSE TD
TRADE WITH GERMANY
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 17—While the
commercial blockade between Enf»
land and Germany is maintalntd rig
orously, there appears to be no par
ticularly strong feeling against trad
ing between Germany and Russia.
rtusine8s men from the two countries
continue to deal with each other, and
commercial travelers from Germany
are said to have booked orders for
Russia, after meeting their customers
by appointment In Denmark and Swed
en.
Russian manufacturers established
in the Scandinavian countries have
supplied large quantities of shoes to
Austria, the shipments being made
via Germany. German holders of
Russian bonds hnve managed to cash
their coupons through middlemen
here.
France watches the commercial sit
uation with a keen eye and is as
careful as England to avoid all trad
ing with Germans. The French con
sular agent here has just been dis
missed from the office which he held
for 22 years, on charges that he had
shipped leather to Germany. He ail
in it ted the charge, but asserted that
his office as consular agent was an
unsalaried one and he saw no reason
for breaking off his old business re
lations with his customers in Ger
many “merely because some of the
European countries happened to be
at war.”

PAYMENT OP DUTY
ON GIFTS PROTESTED
LONDON, Feb. 17—The father of a
member of the British expeditionary
force has lodged a protest with the
government against having to pay a
duty of six pence on one of the Prin
cess Mary's Christmas gifts to the
soldiers, which was sent home by the
son.
Princess Mary sent a little box of
comforts and delicacies to every man
in uniform on foreign soil. Many ol
the recipients sent their boxes home
as souvenirs to be treasured in aftet
years. Although the boxes went out
with the army supplies, those sent
back were considered as exports from
foreign lands, and consequently the
tobacco contained in them was sub
jected to a heavy customs tax. Ac
cording to the officials, the sixpence
must be paid inasmuch as the prin
| cess failed to export her gifts ir
: bond.
One of the Christmas boxes sem
! to the front was packed by the Prin
cess Mary herself, who put in a slii
of paper asking the recipient to sem
an acknowledgement to Buckinghan
Palace. The finder did so in thesi
words:
“Thank you. Received by me, 978i
Pete Fitzgerald, B. Company, Roya
Munster Fusiliers.”

ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
I HAS TAKEN OFFICE
Judge W. A. Munley, the recently
appointed assistant district attorney
for this division, arrived on the Mari
posa this morning and has taken the

pector.

Brubaker, who resigned to enter pr'

Munley stnted that he was greatly

LEGISLATURE CAN
ASSESS TAXES
Ex-Senator I,. V. Hay, president of
the first territorial senate, says that
the tax laws passed at the first session
of the legislature were only make
shifts and that permanent regulations
will probably be made this time. At
the time of the first session the ter
ritory had no money and the task of
assessing the property of the canner
ies, etc., would have been impossible.
The assessment of the value of can
neries may be guaged by the fact that
the sum of $:i7,000,000 dollars is in
vested in the canneries of Alaska. Mr.
Hay believes that the work of taxing
these canneries will be carried out
this season.

W1R STORIES POPULAR
AMONG THE SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON. Feb. X7—Confessions of
well-known literary men that they
lost their appetite for modern
works during the war and turn back
to other times, has led to an in
vestigation by some of the papers as
to what the general public now reads.
It is learned from the libraries that
there has been a great falling off in
the reading of modern fiction. What
part of it the public likes bears di
rectly on the war, such as “All for
a Scrap of Paper." Kipling's tales
have been reprinted and take well
with the civilians, although the Kip
lingesque soldier has never been pop
ular In the British army. The books
most sought, however, are war books
and those dealing with the principal
characters of the war, particularly
the Kaiser.
INBU HALF-CASTES
WANT GO TO FRONT
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON. Feb. 17—'The petition of
tl>e Eurasians, or half-castes of India,
to raise some regiments of their own
kind has caused the war office some
uneasiness because of the delicate
social questions involved.
Eurasians are in the unfortunate po
sition of being neither whites nor na
tives. They are not admitted into
white society as a rule, and are dis
liked or despised by the natives of
unmixed parentage. At the same time
they feel themselves superior to the
natives because of their white blood.
The whites and Eurasians could get
along very well together at the front.
( but the Imperial authorities fear the
^ Indian regiments would Yesent the
formation of a distinctly Eurasian sol
diery. and would, besides,, refuse to
associate with them in arms.
The war office is now trying to put
the damper on the project without
offending the loyalty and the sens!
i bilitles of an important element of
i the Indian population.
