COURT'S ADVICE
Shows Lack of Confidonce In District
Attorney Spence—Investigating
Election Frauds.
The grand jury today requested of
Judge F. M. Brown instructions re
garding the right of a woman to vote
in Alaska when her husband has a
residence in some other part of the
United States.
The judge advised the jury that the
home of the husband and wife was
the same and that in but few instan
ces could a wife have a separate
home from her husband.
While informing the jury that such
a vote as outlined in the present
ment to him was ctearly illegal, yet it
was not advisable always to prose
cute all offenders, partly because con
victions could not be obtained where
the evidence would show the party
believed they had a right to vote, and
also because of bitter political feeling
which existed following elections.
The judge stated that at this time
it were better if election frauds were
not investigated unless the jury felt
that widespread colonization or
frauds had been committed. He also
advised the jury to follow the advice
of the district attorney in such mat
ters.
The request of the jury for advice
from the court indicates a lack of
confidence in the advice of District
Attorney Spence, who is reported to
have advised a woman on election
day that although her husband had
his first papers only, yet she was
entitled to vote and her husband
was not. This, however, is said by
the attorneys in town to be in error,
as the citizenship of the wife follows
that of the husband.
It is known that many illegal votes
were cast in Valdez, Cordova and
Seward at the last election and it is
possible the jury may bring in indict
ments against some of the more flag
rant violations.
It is also known that a vote was
cast in Seward by a man who voted
on his first papers, although warned
he had no right to do so: an alien
is reported to have voted in Val
dez upon discharge papers from the
army although not a citizen. Other
cases are also known and may be in
vestigated.
WILSON WORKS
ON HIS MESSAGE
Will Deliver It To Congress Soon Af
ter Convening Next Month—Works
With Ancient Typewriter.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—President
Wilson is at work upon his annual
message to congress, which he will
read when congress reconvenes in
December. The president is writing
the message upon an ancient type
writer which he has had for many
years and used when president of
Princeton College. The contents of
the message cannot be learned but
it Is expected to deal largely with the
foreign relations of the United States
and more especially with the Mexican
situation, which, while not as accule
as formerly, is still in a very un
satisfactory condition.
The message will not be over 3,000
words long and the president, follow
ing the custom set by him shortly
after his inauguration, will read the
message in the hall of congress to the
members of both houses.

GERMAN PRISONERS
NOT WELL TREATED
Kaiser’s Government Insists That Un
less Better Conditions Are Pro
vided Will Retaliate.
BERLIN, Nov. 19.—The treatment
of German prisoners by the different
nations has caused the military au
thorities much concern. They do not
desire to retaliate upon the prisoners
held by the Germans, but will do
so unless the treatment accorded Ger
man prisoners is immediately better
ed. An investigation has been made
for the German government by the
American diplomatic representatives,
of the conditions in German camps
where the prisoners of war are de
tained and in every instance the men
have been found to be well treated,
well fed and provided with warm
clothing and plenty of medical at
tendance. In fact the prisoners are
better cared for than many of the
citizens of Germany. The war de
partment, however, considers the
treatment of Germans by the British
government is unfair and demands
immediate improvement of the con
ditions in British and Russian mili
tary concentration camps and if it
is not complied with retaliatory
measures will be taken and similar
treatment given prisoners held in
Germany.
The Russians are holding German
prisoners in Siberia, where they are
half-starved, barefooted and sick and
the death rate has been heavy. The
Russians have sent the prisoners into
the wilds of Siberia so that they can
not escape.
At Hong-Kong the British are forc
ing the German prisoners of war to
clean sewers and other degrading
work in spite of the protests of the
officers.
The Japanese government, however,
is treating the prisoners with more
consideration, feeding them better,
providing for medical care and at
tention, than an nation. The few Ja
panese held in Germany are now be
ing given the best treatment possible
in return.
MILITARY fOIBIIL
FOR MAURIS
LONDON, Nov. 9.—A military
funera;l was given tihe remains of
Lord Roberts on the continent. The
body will reach here tomorrow and
will be buried in St Paul’s cathedral
tomorrow afternoon. The military
funeral at the front was attended
by many high British and French offi
cials.
FOOD EXPORTS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—The cus
tom reports show a heavy Increase In
exports of foodstuffs during the month
of April. The exports for October,
•1914, are $25,000,000 greater than the
preceding October. The reports show
a total of $38,000,000 worth of food
stuffs left the United States last
month. A number of politicians are
urging that the government prohibit
the exporting of foods.
BRITISH WAR LOAN

LONDON, Nov. 19.—The war loan
asked by the government of $1,750,
000,000 will be oversubscribed accord
