fUNSTON RECOMMENDS
M0UNTIN6 INFANTRYMEN
A. P> A Service.
EL PASO, May 13.—The ab
sence of available cavalry forces
for service along the border has
led General Funston to forward
a recommendation to Secretary
'Baker that infantrymen to the
number of two thousand be
mounted on Texas ponies to as
sist in establishing a more effec
tive patrol of the border.
Funston says that it is impos
sible to properly guard the bor
der with infantry troops owing
to their lack of mobility. The
i border situation is plainly caus
ing the military officials a con-1
cern which the reports of further.
attempts on the part of the Mex- i
icans to raid several of the smal
ler settlements have not tended J
to lesson.

IRISH EXECUTIONS
TOTAL FOURTEEN
A. R A. Service.
DUBLIN,, May i^.—The total
number of executions that have
taken place as a result of the
Irish riots are now fourteen ac~
cording to a statement made bv
Premier Asquith today.
The parties executed were all
officers of the provisional gov •
eminent which the rebels hoped
to establish as the controlling
power in the event of the upris"
| ing being successful,
j Asquith announced this alter
j noon that he intended to leave
I for Ireland Within a few hours
i for the purpose of studying the
: situation at first hand and he will
then try to devise a policy that
will commend itself to Irishmen.
The premier stated that the spirit
of the government was to try to
[ meet the desires of the Irish peo
ple as far as is consistently pos
sible. The unauthorized execu
tion of Skiffington, the publish
cr of one of the radical papers
which was early suppressed by
the military leaders, is causing
considerable unfavorable com*
ment, particularly on the part of
the socialist and labor press, and
has l^d to the announcement by
the government that the officer
who ordered the publisher shot
will be courtmartialed.
WILL ASK FOR
SUBMARINE BASE
APPROPRIATION
A. R A. Service
WASHINGTON. May 13.—
Secretary Daniels and Baker of
the navy and war departments
have joined with the authorities
of the Panama canal zone in a
recommendation to congress for
an appropriation of three million
dollars for the establishment of
submarine bases in the canal sec
tion.
The recommendation is based
on the report of General Goethals
that submarines are the most eb
fective weapons that can be ein
ployed in guarding the canal
from hostile attack but before
i they can be employed for that
j purpose proper facilities for their
| care an operation must be pro
! \ ided. The joint recommendation
, requests that the appropriation
asked for he made immediately
available. j
FIRST DIVISION DEMOCRATS
ROLD PRIMARY ELECTION
A. P. A. Service.
JUNEAU, May 12.—The tick
et headed by Committeemen
Cheney carried the Juneau pri
maries yesterday while the re
turns from the rest of the divis
ion indicate that the administra
tion crowd are in complete con
trol of the situation
Although the returns are not
complete it is understood here
that Sulzer leads for the nomina
tion for national committeeman
with Burns an undoubted lirst
choice for delegate. Grigsby of
Nome leads for the attorney gen
eralship. With the convention
less than two weeks away, poli
tics is the most important theme
in this section at present and the
undercurrents of the political
stream are the source of num
berless rumors telling of various
frameups on the part of this or
that faction. None, however, can
be traced to any definite source.
TO DEVELOP A
GREATER NOME
In pursuance of the plan to de
velop a “greater” Nome and
Seward Peninsula Chamber of
Commerce, that body has secur
ed a number ofinteresting pam
phlets outlining the plan for the
enlargement of its sphere of ac
tion and detailing various activi
ties |hlfeady undertaken. The
pamphlet will be largely employ
ed in the effort to secure a wider
interest in the work of the cham
ber and also to assist in adding
to the. membership list.
The membership committee ap
pointed to secure new members
to add to the "boosters list,” to
be shortly published, will start
their labors Monday. They are
already receiving many applica
tions for membership as the ma
jority of the business men are
commencing to recognize that
the reorganized Chamber of
Commerce is not bluffing but is
really out to do something for
j the community and district. It
is expected that the movement
will also bring many mining men
into the chamber as the major
portion of the efforts being tnade
are directed primarily to the
development of the mining in
dustry and it is, consequently, to
their interest to assist the cham
ber in any manner possible.
