To Loosen Tight Money
Washington, D. C., Nov. 19—Presi
dent Roosevelt has authorized Secre
tary of the Treasury Cortelyou to
issue fifty millon dollars in Panama
bonds and a hundred million in gov
ernment bonds, payable in one year.
The# proceeds will be deposited in
banks throughout the country to re
lieve the financial situation. The
president appeals to the public to buy
with hoarded gold, thus putting it in
circulation.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 19—The
call for the national republican con
vention and the app intment of dele
gates has not yet been made. Alaska
will probably be allowed two and not
mure than four delegates.
Seattle, Nov. 19—Cabell Whitehead,
the Nome banker and other Alaskans
here, are of the opinion that only two
Alaska delegates will be seat?d at ihe
national republican convention. They
say a mistake was made in not car
rying the campaign on a larger rep
resentation, the same as four years
ago.
In view of the fact that six dele
gates have been elected by the Jun
eau convention to attend the national
convention, it is manifest, if the
above report is correct, that at least
two of the gentlemen chosen must be
content with an empty honor; at the
last republican national convention,
four years ago, six delegates were
seated from this territory. Since
that time Alaska has grown in popu
lation, as in importance. Why the
representation should be cut down,
rather than increased, is probably
known only to the distingushed poli
ticians who have the power of appor
tioning the delegates to the several
states and territories.
Seattle, Ncv. 19—Sergeant Wilson
of Fort Lawton is charged with trans

account of her immorality.
