| KING GEORGE'S CONDITION IS GROWING SERIOUS
LONDON, Nov. 3—Reports from the king’s bedside proved
disquieting. The king passed a poor night suffering consider
. able pain and’ was unable to eat any solid food.

LONDON, Nov. 3—Sir Charles Johnston, who retires fron
office as Lord Mayor of London on Nov. 9 is the first of tin* 72(
men who have held that office who can boast that he lias no!
given or attended a single public dinner during the whole vcai
1 of his incumbency. “That of course, is due to the war,” h<
explains, “for the war has changed all our preconceived notions
s of what a London Mavoraltv means. We have been a seldom
jpeople the past year, with no time for ceremonials and an ey<
single to the grim business before us. Those who know lm
sj horror of speech-making tell me with a smile that T could nm
i have had a more congenial mayoralty even if T had selected m\
e own year.”
e The Lord’ Mayor quits his chair with at least one regret—
-1 that he was unable to carry out his cherished plan to visil
1 America during his term of office. “T have many friends ir
1 America,” he said, “and T have crossed the Atlantic no fewei
p than 78 times. Rut for the war T should have spent my vaea
tion in the United States and Canada and have been the firs!
I Lord Mavor to visit America while in office. ”

WANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY
—
On the way hack to Washington at
this moment is an appeal from the
Democrats of Valdez to remove from
office District Attorney Spence of the
Third division, according to Indis
putable evidence received today by
the Gateway. The resolution calling
for the retirement of the district at
; torney was passed at a meeting of the
Democratic club of Valdez about ten
days ago. It carried a preamble
which stated that Spence has not
identified himself with the Democratic
party in Alaska, has associated and j
worked with the bitterest opponents
of the organization, is not an Alaskan
and is in various way unfitted for the
position. The information received
■ even goes the length of saying that
Spence is incompetent. A rumor has
1 also reached the Gateway that the Bar
association of Valdez is about to fol
low along the same lines with regard
j to the district attorney.—Seward Gate

The business men of Cordova ten
! dered a smoker to the officers and
crew of the Prometheus, at Eagle hall.
! last night and the affair was largely
I attended and greatly enjoyed. Geo.
. Dooley was chairman and he called
upon Gorge C. Hazelet who made a
short but interesting talk, in which he
welcomed the guests and spoke of the
excellent deportment of the sailors dur
ing their stay here expressing the
hope that at some future time they
may again visit Cordova, where they
will always find the latch-string out.
Delegate Wlckersham also spoke of
the part the sailors had played in the
history of Alaska and predicted that
at some future time a great naval
station would be established on Prince
William Sound. With the develop-'
ment of the natural resources of the
territory he believed that the era of
prosperity that we were all looking
forward to would be realized.
The main event of the smoker was
the four round sparring contest be
tween Schultz, of the Prometheus, and
Sharkey, a recent arrival in Cordova.!
AJ Johnson was refree and Dr. Council
time-keeper. Prom the strike of the j
gong the fighting was fast and furious.!
Schultz had the advantage in weight,
although Sharkey was game and al
ways able to come back. Both men
showed considerable skill and the au
dience thoroughly enjoyed the bout.1
which was declared a draw.
There were other sparring exhibi
tions. horizontal bar work, club swing
ing. vocal and instrumental solos, and
other stunts that went to make an en
tertaining program. Clayson’s orches
tra furnished excellent music and solid
and liquid refreshments wTere served.
