CELEBRATION TO BE HELD
HERE ON FOURTH OF JUL¥
Cordova is to have a celebration on
the Fourth of July. The Chamber of
Commerce took the initiative in the
matter last night by authorizing Presi
dent Hazelet to appoint a committee
to arrange a program of sports. He
has named Dr. W. H. Chase and
George Dooley, who have had con
siderable experience in providing en
tertainment for the public and they
will no doubt pull off a celebration
that will be both creditable and enjoy
able. It is planned to make the day
particularity attractive for .children.

CHICAGO, June 15.—The first vio
lence against the street railway com
panies since the strike of their em
ployees commenced at nnuuight Sun
day was reported today. The Inci
dent was an attempt to wreck a train
on the South Side Elevated by throw
ing a heavy plank in front of a train
from the roof. The miscreants mis
judged their aim, and the plank
struck the roof of a caoch doing no
damage. The perpetrators were not
apprehended.
CHICAGO. June 15.—No disturb
ances of any moment have occurred
so far in the big street railroad strike
here. The service is practically com
pletely tied up, and although a few
trains were run on the elevated lines,
but few passengers took advantage of
the opportunity to ride. The men are
asking for better working hours, and
an increase in wages. The steam
railroads are doing an enormous busi
ness and all the suburban trains are
crowded. The trains were unable to
accommodate all those who wished to
ride, and scenes of confusion were
common in all the depots after the
close of business hours. At one of
the railroad stations 67 men who were
unable to force their way Into the cars
swarmed over the engine tender, run
ning boards and cow catcher. The
only disturbances recorded by the
police were several fights among men
who were contesting for places on the
jitney busses. Nobody was seriously
injured, and the police were alert, in
terfering in every case at once. The
City Council passed an order last
night forbidding the companies to
operate their cars with inexperienced
men. The order, if complied with,
will increase materially the task of
the company in running its cars with
strike breakers.

FOR ALASKA
Answers to the memorials sent to
congress and government bureau
chiefs by the territorial legislature
have been received by Chas. E.
Davidson, secretary of Alaska.
The one respecting the establish
ment of a mining station at Juneau
reads:
Department of the Interior, Bureau
of Mines, Washington, May 17. 1915.
Mr. Charles E. Davidson, Secretary
of Alaska, Juneau, Alaska. Dear Sir—
Referring to your letters of April 29th
addressed to the president of the
United States Senate and the secre
tary of the interior, which have been
referred to this office for considera
tion, and your letter of the same date,
addressed to the director of the
bureau of mines, all transmitting cer
tified copies of Senate Joint Memorial
No. 8, passed by the Alaska territorial
legislature, relative to the establish
ment of a mining experiment station
at Juneau:
While congress has enacted into law
the bill authorizing the establishmnet
of ten mining experiment stations and
seven safety stations, in addition to
those already established—with the
proviso, however, that not more than
three such stations shall be estab
lished during any one fiscal year—no
appropriations were made available
for carrying the provisions of the law
into effect.
Until such appropriations are pro
vided, nothing can of course be done
so far as the actual establishment of
the stations is concerned. The impor
tance of Alaska from a mining stand
point and of Juneau as a mining center
is fully appreciated by the bureau of
mines, and, when the matter of loca
tions of the stations is taken up for
determination, the claims of Juneau
for recognition will be given careful
consideration.
Very truly yours,
CARL L. PARSONS,
Acting Assistant Director,

WARSAW, June 15.—The work of
the Rockefeller Commission in tin
relief of Flock, the capital of the
government of that name, 50 miles
northwest of Warsaw, la described by
a resident who escaped the vigilance
of German patrols and escaped to this
city. He said that until the arrival
of the Rockefeller representatives
there was no organization for the re
lief of the poor, the local committee
being entirely without funds. The
bakeries were turning out only army
bread made almost entirely of pota
toes and selling at 12 cents a pound
There was no rye or wheat bread al
any price, while eggs were selling al
15 cents apiece. All the copper money
has been collected and shipped tc
Germany. All milk products were ap
preprinted by the German staff for it!
own use and for the thirty hospital!
in the city.
The country for 20 miles around he
described as a total waste. Hy ordei
of the German authorities a tnx oi
$25 000 was levied upon the city and
pending its payment five promineni
Poles and five Jews were being im
prisoned. The Rockefeller represen
tatives had established two free lunct)
places, one for the Polish population
and one for the Jews.

NEW YORK, June 15 —George Von
L. Meyer, n prominent Massachusetts
rnan, and a former secretary of the
navy, who held office under two presi
dents, and has devoted much time and
study to naval affairs, made an address ■
on the preparation of the United
States for war before the Peace Prep

Security League today. Meyer said
that the American navy Is fast de

government adopt a comprehensive
plan for the national defense. Of the
33 battleships this country has In
commission, only 21 are ready for
active service, and the remainder
could not be put In condition to fight
except after a long delay. The navy
needs many more men, as he said
that most of the ships were under

GREECE RETURNS
VENIZELIOS TO
ATHENS, June 15.—Conditions are
beginning to favor the return to power
of former Premier Venizelios. Venize
lios was the premier of Greece during
the Balkan war, and has always been
an ardent exponent of expansion of
Greece. For that reason he has con
sistently worked to have his country
enter the present war on the side of
the allies, but his exposition of that
policy forced his retirement from the
cabinet in favor of a government
pledged to peace. Since then there
has been an election, and Venizelios
has been returned to Parliament. Par
liament may not meet until August so
that the present ministry will prob
ably remain in power until then. The
present king has never approved the
