RECOGNITION FOR CARRANZA
The recognition of Don Yenustian©
Carranza as the government of Mex
ico was. probably, as distasteful a
thing to President Wilson has been
called upon to do; but watchful
waiting has borne no sweeter fruit.
Things in Mexico never go as they
ougr.t, and the First Chief gained
such an advantage over his enemies
that it was idle to hope for the im
mediate decline of his star. There
being nothing else to do, recog
nition of ins claims to the head
ship of Mexico became imperative.
It was all the less pleasant because
the popular illusions about Car
ranza have been dispelled at the
White House and the State Depart
ment. In a recent issue of The
Outlook. Edward I. Bell, for many
years a resident of Mexico, and the
author of “The Political Shame of
Mexico,” says that Dr. Henry Allen
Tup per and Judge Duval West, sent
by the President to investigate con
ditions in Mexico, have reported in
telligently and honestiy and that
the Presidential eyes are at last
opened to the real character of
Carranza. Mr. Bell repeats, with
details, the story that Carranza,
who now poses as the avenger of
Madero, had a revolution all pre
pared against him when the Reyes
coup in Mexico City brought Huerta
into power. Carranza had agreed
to terms with Huerta, which lacked
only formal confirmation, when an
interruption to the telegraph service
between Mexico City and Saltillo
threw the old governor into a panic
of suspicion and he fled northward
with a few followers. These fol
lowers formulated the “plan of
Guadalupe,“ which is now Carranza's
political stock in trade, while he
was hiding from an imaginary pur
suit in his native village. He
brands Carranza as vain, pompous,
cowardly, and incompetent. He de
- . v;ni ^5 having robbed Mex
ico of the larger part of $-50,000,000
which has been spent on his revolu
tion, and says that his generals
have been allowed to follow a policy
of universal destruction, wasting
what they cannot steal. Specifically
he says that the sisal growers of
Yucttan have this year exported $19
000.000 worth of fiber, of which
sum Carranza has taken about $15.
000.000.
French Strothier, In World’s Work,
for October gives a sketch of Car
ranza's carreer, which confirms M
Bell’s contention that he was. dur
ine the time of Diaz, a scientific©
and a political hanger-on of Diaz
appointees. He was distrusted by
Don Porfirio. however, and was not
allowed to gratify his ambitions be
yond a seat in the Senate, where
he was a noneniiy. The press of
the United States is divided in ?*s
| K. KRAMSE ACCUSED
OF KIDNAPPING
(From Juneau Empire)
An arrest for the bold kidnapping i
if William Christie, an amalgamator
at the "TOO ’ mill, Treadwell, Satur- i
day, is hourly expected. This iaom
p.g a warrant was issued for Ed
ward Krause, of Petersburg, whom,
| he officers allege, masqueraded as;
'Miller.” when he served a fake sub- -
poena on Christie and subsequently
! disappeared with the Treadwell man. j
I The charge is that of unlawfully j
representing himself as an officer
of the peace.
There were many developments in
•he case overnight. It is said that
Krause is an ardent admirer of Mrs.
Christi, that he wits incensed when
he married Christie in Juneau a
month ago. and that he hated Chris- ,
tie beeause Christie is a Scotchman.:
Krause is a German. Mrs. Christie ‘
-as formerly Mrs. Celia Gesekus.
Since the death, a year ago. of Gese- ;
kus, who was killed in a hunting ac
•lent. Krause has paid Mrs. Gese
rus-Ckristie marked attention. Mrs.
Christie said yesterday: "The mln
"e ‘Billie* was kidnapped. I thought 1
list of Krause. He and 1 have been
'riendly and his attitude toward me
'•as always been that of a gentle
’tn.”
Boat is Found
The mystery launch in which the
•bductor of Christie set out from the
Treadwell wharf, is said to have;
been found up the channel toward
Talmon Creek, but no one was in it.
Officers are watching the boat. At
he request of a local lodge to which
Christie belonged, former deputy
marshal Hector McLean has been de
j '.ailed on the case and is said to be
■ working on important clues.
It was stated at the U. S.
; Marshal's office today that Edward
I Krause is believed to be the owner
; of the boat in which it is claimed
j Christie was taken away from sev
I era; days ago. Although the name
of the boat is not known, it is stat
: ed that the craft is frequently seen
j in th channel and that it often
i makes the trip between this port
and Petersburg.
In Douglas the authorities are
) looking for "Miller." In Juneau it
is Krause who is sought in connec
; uon with the case. Krause is de
scribed as about 160 pounds in
| weight, height about 5 feet S in
ches. and having a sandy moustache.
i opinion of Carranza's recognition.
■ The out-and-out Wilson papers gen
erally commend it: the opposition
' and independent papers condemn it.
Once recognized Carranza will be
entitled to an opportunity to show
•hat he can restore order and esfsb
i ksh a government. The United
States will robabiy assist him by
stopping shipments of arms to his
f opponents.—Leslie’s Weekly.

KEEPS WATER FROM FREEZING
Edward Haas, of Houghton, I'd.,
an automobile owner, is reported to
have found a good way to keep the
water from freezing in his radiator.
He borrows his wife's electric curl
ing iron on cold nights, screws it s
olug into the electric light socket
hi his garage, inserts the iron into
•he intake of the radiator and thus
has a cheap satisfactory solution of
he problem.

Seward Gateway. Mr. Whittlesey,
was asked this morning if the story
was well founded and he admitted

hat it is the intention to have him

so that no assistant district aitor

enough is known to state that Dis

ired the department for permission
to abolish she Seward office and re
move it to Valdez, and if there is
anything to be done it must be done
quickly.
I: has been suggested that the |
Gateway should draw attention to
the fact that Seward as the ocean
terminal of the government rail- j
road has the strongest claim on the
office, it has also been pointed out
that meetings ought to be held for

TAKING THINKS SERIOUSLY
And Getting Rid of Some of Our
Shams
i From the Detroit Free Press
Certain questions arise in the
'> of the thoughtful these days.
He' is tin's war, though 3,000 miles
affecting the great masses of
on: people? Is it sobering us? Is
.1 vev sincerity being born into the j
vrv’d? Despite its distance, the
knowledge that the great nations '
ef the world are engaged in a strug- j
g:e that is going to be fought to a ]
fi":sh cannot fail to have an effect
upon us.
The world has had an overdose of
lirm. and its present ten
’. is toward democracy. Hie
step of democracy is simpllc
v nd simplicity indicates a great-,
or sincerity, and hence the do'nr
with shams.
T''ere are visible evidences that I
America is abolishing some of its
shams. We do not pnt all our goods

- "o of bluff—has been largely re
•.'w-d hv hridrre. which demands
ski'! and strategy. The breadth of

new houses have treir porches
and gardens at the rear instead of

simpler lines of Colonial architecture
which came to us from the English
countryside, are more and more re
■ — t’e florid stvles that once
satisfied Americans in architecture.
V'e cannot ascribe this change in
public taste entirely to the war.
which is a matter too recent. * The
change has been a growth, but its
fruits seem to stand out more
noticeably in the present. That the
general seriousness occasioned by
:he shadow cast upon us by the
’rent conflict, and the demands upon
our sympathies and our aid, have
accented our inclination to be riel
of shams can hardly he denied. It
is a feeling that it pays to en
courage. When we acquire more
sincerity—more genuineness—in
our private lives, it may perhaps,
have an influence upon public af
fairs.

I OREIGN TRADE
The following? xtract Is a trans
lation from an article in tho
Deutsche Levant Zeitung:
"America is la ginning to break
away from her oldtime export meth
ods and is preparing new openings
m Russia. Hitherto Russo-Ameri
can business broke on the credit
.luostion. The Americans usually de
manded cash, payment before ex
port. while American banks denied
/hem every aid in this direction.
Now, however, they are not going
to let slip the opportunity to sup
plant German trade, and the Nation
al City Bank of New York, accord
ing to a Russian paper has extend
'd, the Russian-Asiatic Bank a large
■redit to cover Russian purchases.”
This is of deep interest to several
branches of lhe American mining in
dustry, not only to mining-mpehin
ery manufacturers of all sorts, but
*0 producers of copper, nine, and
. vv., immense export trade
G •many was built up through
1 be erwri’i co-operation of voanu
1.- and shipping in
teres*s 'nded by aggressive
.'''•;>» of men who could speak
the kutcunge of the country to
which they were sent. The Ger
man banks were always ready to
■"eke the manufacturer’s or mer
'’•va*s paper, with the foreign bank
behind the foreign merchant, even if
i* were a twelve month’s credit.
Both made money, the discount at
Buenos Aires being 8f' when it
-as fig at Hamburg Instead of
'renting such a man as a person of
••hem to be snspieious, the hanks
'»• 1 the government were anxious
*o bear bis views as to the prepar
ation of commercial treaties. In
"•"‘he— particular American manu
facturers are deficient compared
with their European competitors.
They fail to observe specifications
as to orders and packing, treating
many of them as absurd, and sub
stituting what they think the for
eigner ought to want, instead of
what lie wants and orders. The
I .vied States government is ehang
io some extent from a dis
gustful attitude toward foreign bus
ii to one moiv helpful. Reports
t t . S. consuls in foreign coun
II it -. as to trade opportunities, are
being made available for prompt and
omenient distribution among bus
iness-men. _ .^i

lalaehite is used in America for
cuff buttons, scarf-pins, and other
■ ’.nicies i jewelry. When a Rus
■ i.in visitor was shown a chain of
. .uiacuite by its proud possessor he
remarked: “We build houses of it
in my country.” This statement
was an exaggeration, but malachite
; is actually used in Russia for tables,
■ mantlepieces, and for columns in
, ■. lilies. These furnishings are, of
course, not of solid malachite, but
veneered. In the Mining Institute
at Pelrograd, there is a block of the
pure mineral weighing 3,400 pounds
and valued at $15,000. The largest
i'ass yet reported was found in the
Hyv Inor.vdyunsk mine in the Urals,
in 1835, at a depth of 240 ft., it
v.ei.vhed 328 tons.
