CONFERENCE IS
MAKING HEADWAY
TOWARD PEACE
Associated Press Summary, Apr.
23.—The Inter-Allied Peace Confer
ence which has been considering the
question of the Japanese demands
for racial equality, has passed it
along- for future settlement.
The Italian question is still exer
cising the minds of the conferees,
and the Italians are pressing their
demands for a decision. It is re
ported that they are willing to re
linquish their claims to the Dal
matian coast provided the Allies are
willing to -give them the city of
Fiume. The conference, however,
has not yet arrived at a decision
relative to the Dalmatian coast.
The rival claims of China and
Japan to the late German posses
sions at Kiau Chau, in the Shan
tung Peninsula, may result in the
problem being left for settlement
by the League of Nations later.
NEW LAWSlRE
BEING PREPARED
BY LEGISLATURE
According to a telegram received
this morning from Representative
Geo. W. Pennington, the territorial
legislature, now in session at Juneau,
is continuing to enact laws for the
good of the country.
At the instance of the Nenana
Commercial club, which wired the
necessary instructions regarding the
matter to Mr. Pennington recently,
he introduced a bill in the House
relative to local self-government in
railroad towns. This bill is re
ported to have been passed by the
House today.
i The legislature has also forwarded
a memorial to Congress, asking for
the application of the Smith-Hughes
act, regarding vocational education,
to Alaska. The Smith-Hughes act
carries with it an appropriation of
forty million dollars to be applied
toward vocational education in the
States, and it is felt by the terri
torial legislature that Alaska should
have the same rights in the matter
as the States have under this act.
The territorial shipping bill, and
the Dunn lien law, which seeks to
protect the laborer’s wages, have
also been passed by the House.
Referring to the matter of the
election of a delegate to reprepre
sent Alaska in Congress, Mr. Pen
nington says "the political situation
is unfavorable for an independent
thinker; r.o satisfactory timber here.”
THELIN STAGE IN
FROM FAIRBANKS
Thelin’s stage arrived last night
from Fairbanks, bringing a little
freight and express and Mrs. Peter
sMi as passenger for Nenana. He
will leave on his last trip for the
season on Friday morning.
Thelin states that the Ohio road
house will be closed for the season
! at the end of next week.

, Italy today with the rest of the
Italian delegates to the Inter-Allied
Peace Conference unless a satis
factory settlement is reached by the
conference, relative to the Italian
claims to Fiume and the Dalmatian
i coast.
Premier Lloyd George of Great
Britain, is trying his utmost to dis
suade Premier Orlando from puttine
, his threat into effect.
AH efforts of Premier Lloyd
George to reconcile Orlando’s vie*
points with President Wilson have
proved unavailing. During a con
ference held last night, the Britisti
premier was unsuccessful in his at
tempts to convince President Wilson
i of the justice of the Italian claims.

DEMOCRATS WLL
MAKE SELECTION
MAKE CANDIDATE
A wire received this morning: in
town from Representative Geo. W.
Pennington, from Juneau, regarding
the selection of a fit and proper
candidate to run for delegate on
the Democratic ticket, is rather
illuminating. Although no definite
selection has been made as yet, it
is thought that either Territorial
Attorney General George Grigsby
or Falcon Joslin may be the choice
of the Democratic leaders, with
Pennington as a remote possibility.
The telegram from Mr. Penning
ton is as follows:
i “Believe that slate is already ar
ranged by leaders here; either
Grigsby or Joslip; absolutely un
satisfaitory to me. Think it un
wise to offer my name, but will
abide by judgment of my friends
in the Fourth division. Act as you
think best.”
To save material European manu
facturers are turning out rubber
shoe soles and heels without centers.
i •
Dalmatian coast as compensation for
entering the war on the side of
the Allies against the Central powers.
The President’s statement pointed
out clearly, that new states have
come into being: since the ending;
i of the war, and that Fiume was
the outlet to the sea for these
states.
He also believes that Italy does
not need Fiume for defensive pur
poses, in view of the fact that the
Austrian naval menace has ceased
to exist.
