DONOHOK GIVES INTERVIEW
I'D WASHINGTON POST
“1 do not apprehend that there
will be any serious contest over the
seating of Mr. Sulzer. said Mr. l)ono
hoe, “but if Mr. Wickershatn makes
a contest we are prepared to furnish
enough evidence to convince any com
mittee that Mr. Sulzer was fairly
elected. To start with, the Demo
crats claimed the election of Sulzer,
but a Democratic canvassing board
composed of Gov. Strong, Surveyor
General Davidson and Collector of the
Port Pugh, in defiance of all prece
dent and an opinion of the attorney
general, gave a certificate of election

district court and the other day a de
cision was handed down rejecting the
votes of six precincts— Koggiung,
Nusliagak, Bonnifleld, Deering, Utica
and Vault— on the ground that the
ballots were wrong under the Aus
tralian ballot system. This was ac
cording to precedent and was also
justified as the ballots returned were
typewritten and were also irregular.
••Mr. Sulzer is 39 years old and
went from New York to Alaska fifteen
years ago, right after graduation. He
has made good there.’--Washington

HEAVY U1AN SECURITY
REQUIRED OK KRANCE
NEW YORK. April 10.—In order
to obtain a war loan of $99,000,000
through Wall street. France has been
compelled to pay more than 6 per cent
interest and to deposit $120,000,000
in stocks, bonds and collaterals. In
addition lenders on notes will have
the option of collecting their debt in
franc at the rate 5.75 francs to the
dollar.
‘This imposes pawnbroker’s terms
upon France,” says the. World, which
today strongly advocates that Con
gress, shall make an appropriation
of a billion dollars to France without
delay. This money could be spent for
American food. American munitions
and American supplies for the French
I
] armies. France during the revolution
| loaned money to the United States at
I 5 per cent and later cancelled the in
! terest for the whole period of the
i war as proof of her friendship.

NEW YORK, April 10.— Edward
and Lottie McGinley, members of a
one-ring circus, who arrived here to
day on the steamship Cuba, report
that the revolutionists in Cuba stole
the entire show’ except the tents and
the sawdust.
The rebels, ordered by their chief
to commandeer the circus, horses and
food supplies, made off with the gar
ments of Caesar and Cleopatra, after
drawing lots for distribution of them.
They also captured a 23 year-old lion
and Hattie, the elephant. The circus
was playing at a town about 20 miles
from Havana.
