ENTITLED TO
r* ■“
How the judiciary committee of the
house of representatives at Juneau
arrived at the conclusion that the
women of Alaska have a right to vote
under the law passed at the first ses
sion of the legislature, is explained
in a letter received from Ernest B.
Collins, speaker of the house.
In this letter Mr. Collins states that
he took with him from Fairbanks a
bill to be introduced into the legisla
ture providing for giving the women
of the territory the right to vote, but
after getting there he took the mat
ter up with the judiciary committee
and with other lawyers, and they
agreed that the present law permits
women to hold municipal offices, but
does not give them the right to serve
as jurors. Mr. Collins stated that
it would not be advantageous, ih his
opinion, for women to be called as
Jurors.
In Mr. Collins’ letter he quotes as |
follows from a letter he had received
from John Rustgard, on March 11,
who has been serving as District At
torney for the First division:
“In answer to your question as to
whether a woman is eligible for the
office of a member of the common
council of a municipality in Alaska,
I beg to state that any person who Is
a qualified voter in a municipality is
eligible to any office in the munici
pality for which he would be lawfully
entitled to vote. Inasmuch as Chap.
One of the session laws of the legis
lature of Alaska for 1913 extended the
right of suffrage to women, the right
to hold office was thereby also extend
ed to them, except where the laws ex
pressly provide to the contrary, and
no law with which I am acquainted
forbids women from holding office in
a municipality.”

MEXICAN FACE fl!
WASHINGTON, April 1G—Dispatch
es received here this morning from
Mexico City state that the conditions
there are serious, and that a crisis
will develop unless the populace Is
relieved from the possibility of star
vation. The lack of foodstuffs is
alarming, and the interruption of com
munication between the capital and
the sencoast has effectually prevent
ed any relief supplies reaching the
city. The state department has again
urged upon Carranza the vital neces
sity of co-operating with his opponents
so that food and supplies can be car
ried over the railroad from Vera Cruz.

REGRETS NOT HAVING
COALING STATIONS
ROTTERDAM, April 17—German
newspapers express regret that Ger
many did not more adequately pro
tect her foreign possessions so that
they could have become strong coal
ing stations and centers for naval
operations. The Tageszeitung, com
menting on the loss of the Dresden,
says:
"The (inal results have proved that
it is impossible to have power on
the ocean without strong points of
support on the land. That our cruis
ers were able to remain on the oceans
so long as they did was simply due
to individual qualities. The only
success would have been If the sea
trade of the enemy had been so dam
aged as to cut off his supplies. We
ought to have known these things
beforehand, but our foreign stations
were very slack.

LONDON IS ALIVE
WITH GREEK SAILORS
LONDON, April 17—There have
been more Clreek Bailors in London
In every month slnoe the war b<.-i>an
than formerly In a whole year. Span
ish and Italian Bailors have also been
unusually numerous.
The large number of foreign sail
ors from the Mediterranean In var
lous British ports shows the change
In shipping due to the war, for the
carrying that formerly went to the
Hermans Is now In the hands of the
neutrals. There are plenty of Ger
man ships lying up in the southern
ports, but they fear to venture out.
Like the Italian merchant marine,
the Greek consists largely of slow
steamers bought second hand from
the British. These boats come up
laden with wines, fruits, marble and
the Kgyptlan cotton.
