EM SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
Gov Strong Threatens To Call One If
Deadlock Regarding Revenue
Measure Not Broken..
JUNEAU, April 29.—Governor J. F.
A. Strong stated today that unless
the deadlock between the senate and
the house of the Alaska legislature
was broken and the revenue measure
passed that he would call an extra
session of the legislature in order
that the necessary money could be
raised to carry on the work of the
territorial government.
The two branches of the legislature
have different ideas regarding the
best method of raising the necessary
funds and cannot come to an agree
ment. The session is near its end
and the deadlock must be broken at
once or the needed legislation cannot
be passed.

U. s. CABLE PLAYS
SAME OLD TRICK
'Goes Down and Out When Needed
and the Burnside Is Being
Repaired, As Usual.
The piece of rope that connects
tijye United States and Alaska has
been cut in two by some small fish
and the people of xiie north can go
newsless until the Burnside can come
north and make the necessary repairs.
The break occurred this morning at
11 o’clock. The cable* office cannot
blame it on the steamer Alameda this
time because the break is in Prince
William Sound and the Alameda
many miles away.
The Burnside will be sent to make
the necessary repairs some time with
in a few weeks. Orders to recall
the officers of the ship from their
social duties—flirting with the belles
of the Northwest coast oj^es, have
undoubtedly been given. They will im
mediately inspect the ship and find
that it needs repairs and must be
drydocked. This will take a few days,
and finally the boat will get started,
although every man on it knows that
he is taking his life in his hand, as did
the commander of the submarine F-4,
which wrent to the bottom of the sea
in Honolulu harbor.
Master Electrician Faust, one of
the best, cable doctors in the service
of Uncle Sam, started to make tests
of the break at once and reports that
the break occurred about twenty-five
miles from Valdez.
The local cable office will make
every effort to continue the service
by the use of the two powerful naval
stations at. Sitka and Whitshed,
which bridge the break in the line.
FIND STOWAWAY
IN FREIGHT CARGO
Left In Cargo of Admiral Evans for
Eight Days and Is Taken Out
Almost Dead At Seward.
Leland Farmer stowed away on the
steamer Admiral Evans when the
boat left Seattle on April 15th, and
was not found until the steamer ar
rived at Seward eight days later.
Farmer had hidden himself in the
freight cargo with the aid of one
of the crew, to whom he had given
five dollars, with the understanding
that he was to be brought on deck as
soon as the boat was at sea and put
to work to earn his passage. The
freight, however, was piled about his
hiding place and no one came to let
him out, and in spite of his efforts
to attract attention by pounding on
the deck no one heard him. With
out water or food, Farmer soon lost
consciousness and was found by the
crew when the freight was being un
loaded at Seward.
The stowaway was taken to tfie
Pioneer hospital at Seward and under
the care of Dr. Romig was reported as
doing nicely with a good chance to
recover.
SEWARD VOTES WET
BY BIG MAJORITY
The official census of Seward has
been received at the office of Clerk
of Court Arthur Lang and show’s that
365 residents of the westward town
are in favor of the granting of liquor
licenses, while 105 voted against it
and 35 refused to make any declara
tion regarding their desires.
James E. Wilson, the freighter,'re
turned to town this morning after
completing his contract to transport
some of the cable to be used by the
Granby mine.
The women’s auxiliary of the Pio

Saturday at Eagle hall and every
body is expected to come and enjoy
themselves.
Children’s Dance Next Friday.
A dance for the children of Val

CAUGHT BY A POSTAL TRAP.
The ‘‘Twopenny Detective" Is Often
Employed In England.
Detectives, lawyers' clerks and oth
ers often experience great difficulty in
obtaining nn undoubted specimen of
a certain person's signature. In one
ease recourse laid to be had to a mar
riage register. In another the only
signature procurable was on the fly
leaf of a book which the suspect had
presented to a relative, and only two
jr three years ago a testimonial to a
sea captain was brought into court,
because among the signatures to it
was one for which the police had long
hunted in vain.
One of the most common expedients
resorted to for overcoming this diffi
culty is employing the “twopenny de
tective”—that Is, sending a registered
letter to the person whose signature
is wanted. And tlds is frequently
successful. Thinking the postal packet
contains money or valuables, the ad
dressee unsuspectingly signs the re
ceipt only to discover that inside the
envelope there is nothing but a “fak
ed” letter.
This trap once caught an anonymous
letter writer—a woman—who, on be
ing interrogated shortly before, had
declared that she could not write, and
whose friends believed her to be il
literate. It was, in fact, mainly in
strumental in getting her six months’
imprisonment.
The receipt for a registered letter,
it should lie carefully noted, is not
given up to anybody, but can be ob
tained only in certain cases to further
the ends of justice.—London Tit-llits.
THE AUTOMOBILE BACK.
Medical Advice Showing How It May
Be Avoided.
The automobile is coming into such
general use that any advice to its
users is of general interest.
A great many people in cranking
their cars strain their back or “drop a
stitch,” and if this is once started it
usually happens more easily another
time. Many people, after riding for
any length of time, are tired in the
back when they get out. If this is
kept up the pain or weakness in
creases until many times the person is
laid up with what is called lumbago or
rheumatism. Both of these conditions
are commonly due to the wrong way
of using the muscles of the back.
In cranking keep the back straight,
like “the oarsman's back.” Bend from
the hips, snapping the crank over by
straightening at knee and hip. but do
not bend at the middle or the waist
line.
In sitting in the car keep the back
straight also. Get the hips well back
against the back of the seat, and. if
the upholstery make the shoulders
droop put a robe, a cushion, a book or
anything at the hollow of the back to
prevent this. Do not slouch in the
seat and do not sit on the lower part
of the spine. This reverses the normal
curves of the spine and must mean
strain, with at times much crippling.

His Hunt For Home.
On one occasion De Pachmann, the
famous pianist, with his nervous ami
irritable temperament, was summoned
to appear before Queen Alexandra at
Buckingham palace. He obstinately
refused to go. His friends labored with
him for hours and at last persuaded
him not to commit an impertinence
which would never be forgiven by the
English people.
Finally he was dispatched in a cab.
The night wore on to morning, and
the frantic wife of the pianist and his
friends could learn nothing of what
had become of him. At last a forlorn
looking cab drove up to the house,
and De Pachmann dismounted. On
leaving the palace he had forgotten
where he lived and could only tell the
cabman that it was in a square with
a church in it So all night long he
had been engaged in making a round
of the innumerable squares of London.
A Businesslike Suitor.
"No-o, he isn't the sort of husband
I should have chosen for my daughter,
but I think perhaps lie'll get along tn
the world all right."
“What way does he differ from the
man you would have chosen?”
“When he proposed to my daughter
and she had told him to see me he
sent me a note telling me where his
office is and what his office hours are
and asking me to drop around and see
him when convenient.”—Houston Post.
Soda and Water.
For sheer simplicity of phrase and
conception few have surpassed that

twinkle in her eye. Inquired whether
"soda water” should be written as
two separate words or if there should
be a siphon between them.
Danger Not Imminent.

"Has she got the hairbrush with

“No.”
