SALONIKI IS UNDER RULE
CF QUEER SECT OF JEWS
With the coming of the relief armies
landed by the allies for the succor of the
Serbians, the tradesmen of the Greek port
of Saloniki. say the reports from the Near
East, have flourished as seldom before, and
Dunmeh. Jew and Greek are said to have |
found this stage of the world war a spe
cial windfall for themselves. Wealth is
very unevenly distributed in this little
port, where Greek. Jew and Bulgar have !
been held to poverty through years of j
Turkish administration. There is, how- i
ever, one very rich clique in Saloniki, I
which is describee in the following war
primer just issued by the National Geo
graphic Society :
First among Saloniki’s citizens of wealth
who are now enjoying the opportunity of
purveying in wholesale quantities to
French and British soldiers are the Dun
mchs, a spct, or rather a community
peculiar to the city. They are Jews, who,
the stranger is told, have been converted
to Mohammedanism. Just how successful
their conversion really was no one knows,
but there is an interesting legend which
embodies the traditions of their establish
ment.
The story is that some centuries ago a
certain Jew of Saloniki, Sabatai Sevi by
name, became convinced that he was the
Savior prophesied for his race. He declared
himself to his people in Saloniki as their
long-awaited redeemer, and soon won a
strong and enthusiastic following. The
Turkish sultan, unwilling that redeemers
should flourish under the Crescent, or that
a dangerous fanatic power the more should
develop under his sway, had Sabalai Sevi
arrested and brought before him at Con
stantinople. The story of the reformer
found no favor at the palace, and he was
given the alternative of death or conver
sion to Mohammedanism with his entire
flock. The legend concludes that he and
his chose the Koran in preference to death.
This formal conversion to Mohamme
danism has been the greatest commercial
asset of the Dunmehs through many gen
erations of successful trade at Saloniki.
VJith all the business keenness of the Jew,
they combined all of the privileges of the
ruling Ottoman, and were thus among the
most able traders within the Ottoman em
pire.
It has been said that they professed Mo
hr mmedanism merely for safety, and that
they have continued their religion in se
cret. In any case, they are fanatics, al
though through the years of Turkish rule
of Saloniki they were accepted by the rul
ing race as co-religionists.
The richest people in Saloniki, they have
jealously guarded whatever their secrets
may be, and, in Turkish garb, they have
gone their way through centuries quietly
and industriously amassing fortunes. They
have not married outside their own sect,
nor sought beyond their fold fnr other
forms of social relationships. Their com
munity keeps to itself, with its education,
its own social life and its own success. For
many years these people throve by sub
letting rights to gather tithes for the gov
ernment at Constantinople. Today, with
their advantages of wealth, they form a
most exclusive caste of Saloniki contrac
tors and merchants.

Digest of Bill Which is Designed to
Relegate “Red Tape Methods”
to Merited Oblivion
A copy of Delegate Wicker-sham's bill
i for the creation of the “Alaska Adminis
j trative Commission” has been received by
The Pioneer. It was introduced in the
house of representatives on December 0,
1915, referred to the coimniitee on trrri
torics and ordered printed.
The bill follows closely the lines hud
town by Secretary of the Interior Lane
in his efforts to abolish “red tape” meth
ods in the administration of the federal
business in Alaska, and while it is not
known here, probably it has the approval
of that official.
The bill is entitled “A bill to establish
a commission form of government in the
administration of national affairs in
Alaska, and for other purposes."
Make-up of Commission
Section 1 of the proposed act provides
that the Alaska administrative commis
sion shall consist of five members, as fol
lows: The governor of Alaska shall be
one member and ex oilicio chairman of
the commission; the surveyor general shall
be one member; and the President of the
United States, by and with the advice and
consent of the senate, shall appoint three
other persons, who, with the governor and
the surveyor general, constitute the said
commission. At least two of the five mem
bers, at the time of their appointment,
shall have been bona fide residents of
.Alaska for at least two years prior to the
date of appointment, and not more than
three of said members shall belong to the
same political party. The term of office
of each member shall be four years, unless
sooner removed by the President, and dur
ing his term of office each member shall
reside in Alaska and shall not engage in
any other business, vocation or employ
ment. No additional salary is provided
for the governor, and each other member
of the commission, including the surveyor
general, shall receive a salary equal to
that now paid to the governor. Actual
traveling and subsistence expenses while
away from Juneau, traveling in Alaska on
public business connected with his duties
as a member of such commission, is pro
vuied for each member.
Section 2 provide- for the organization
of the commission, and that as far as prac
ticable it shall conduct its business in Ju
neau. All clerks and other employes of
the commission shall be appointed as the
result of competitive examinations under
the civil service law; this not to apply
where peculiar qualifications, scientific or
practical knowledge or skill are required.
Financial transactions are to be reported
annually or at request, for the informa
tion of congress.
Abolishes Alaska Road Commission
Section 5 provides that all duty, power,
althority and jurisdiction now imposed by
law upon the board of road commission
ers for Alaska shall be transferred to and
be performed and exercised by the Alaska
administrative commission, and that all
property and moneys, etc., of the l nitcd
States in charge .of the road commission
ers shall bo transferred to the administra
tive commission. All supervisory and ap
pellate duty, power, authority and juris
diction heretofore exercised over the said
Alaska board of road commissioners by
the secretary of war or the war depart
ment is transferred to the secretary of
the interior.
Other Enterprises Transferred
All government telegraph and cable
lines in Alaska and Alaskan waters, and
all cables lines connecting Alaska with
Puget sound, and the cable ship Burn
side, and all property used in connection
vrtth the Washingten-Alaska military cable
and telegraph system and used in Alaska
or in Seattle in connection with the said
telegraph, cables, and property, including
wireless stations and reservations, and all
duty, power, authority and jurisdiction im
posed upon the signal corps of the army
or upon any other branch of the service
in connection with such lines and prop
erty in Alaska are transferred to the ad
ministrative commission, and provision is
made for their operation of the same. The
navy radio stations likewise are trans
ferred to the new commission.
The commission is to exercise jurisdic
tion and authority over all matters in
Alaska heretofore imposed upon the com
missioner of Indian affairs, the commis
sioner of the bureau of education and the
director of the bureau of mines, and take
over all property connected therewith
Important Feature
One of the most important features of
the bill is the section which provides that
to the surveyor general of Alaska shall be
transferred all power, authority and juris
diction by law now imposed upon the
general land office or upon the commis
sioner of the general land office relating to
the disposition or control of the public
lands in Alaska. All appropriations made
by congress for the support and main
tenance of general land office work in
Alaska are to be expended by him in said
work as fully as could be done by the
commissioner of the general land office.
The forest service and the work of the
biological survey are taken from the
hands of the department of agriculture
and placed under the direction of the pro
posed commission.
Fur Seal and Fisheries
The portion of the act which probably
will create the greatest opposition is that
relating to fur seal and salmon fisheries.
By the terms of Sections 13 and 14 these
matters and transferred from the juris
diction of the secretary of commerce and
placed under the direction of the secre
tary of the interior. Evidently the han
dling of the fur seals is not to be placed
in the hands of the Alaska administrative
commission, but all duty, pow'er, authority
and jurisdiction, except scientific research,
by law now imposed upon the commis
sioner of fish and fisheries, the bureau of
fisheries, the division of Alaska fisheries
and the Alaska fisheries service, so far as
they relate to the preservation, propaga
tion, care and management of fish and
fisheries in Alaska, are transferred to the
Alaska administrative commission.
Departments Created
The work of the proposed commission is
to be divided among five departments, as
follows:
Department of finance, department of
public lands, department of transport a
lion, department of education, department
of fisheries. The governor of the terri
tory is to be ex officio chief of the depart
ment of finance; the surveyor general of
the department of public lands. The Pres
ident of the United States is to assign
each of the other three members of the
commission as chief of one of the other
departments.
Other Provisions
The secretary of the interior is to ex
ercise general supervisory and appellate
power and jurisdiction over the commis
sion. and to impose rules and regulations
for its guidance.
The appointment of an attorney general
is provided for, to serve for a term of four
years, and whose duty it will be to advise
the commission and each of its depart
ments, and also the governor of Alaska
and other United States officials in tin*
territory. He is to receive a salary of
$6,000 a year.
All public work undertaken by the com
mission, exceeding in cost $500, is to be
done by contract, upon competitive bids.
An “Alaska fund” is created, which shall
Consist of all moneys received by the com
mission, other than from appropriations
by congress, for uses and purposes declared
by congress. It will be disbursed by the
governor, as chief of the department (if
finance.

SARAH EARNHARDT ENDURED
SELF IMPOSED OPERATION
FROM PATRIOTIC MOTIVES
The apotheosis of Sarah Bernhardt is
achieved. In the eyes of every French sol
dier 11ie great actress must henceforth ap
pear as little less than a saint. Her great
est and closest friend, the poet Rostand,
has brought this about.
Rostand, in a sonnet addressed “To
Sarah,” makes to the world the remark
able declaration clothed in poetic imagery
that it was not necessary for Sarah
Bernhardt to have her leg amputated. She
condemned herself to the ordeal because
of an almost frenzied desire to share in
the sufferings and mutilations endured by
the brave soldier defenders of her coun
try; and. perhaps, as an example to them
of fortitude, not exacted by duty, but
voluntarily imposed on herself for an
ideal.
“Oh, let me share their cruel wounds!’’
Rostand makes her cry.
She had borne the painful lameness in
her right knee for several years. The in
jury was not a menace to her life, or even
to her general health, so her physicians
agreed. But with that pleading exclama
tion for permission to face death as Trench
soldiers face it every hour of the day, she
overruled her doctors and went to the oper
ating table.
News of the operation that removed
Sarah Bernhardt’s right leg above the knee
was cabled to every part of the world
T1 e physicians who issued bulletins of its
success and of the actress’ rapid recovery
let it be assumed that Bernhardt’s leg
could not have been saved. It was not
for these scientific gentlemen to divulge
the sentimental, or patriotic, motive which
inspired the world’s greatest tragedienne
to complete her career as a cripple. Ex.

ANCHORAGE NEWSPAPER MAN
HAS STRENUOUS HALF HOUR
The Weekly Alaskan, published at An
chorage, the base of the government rail
way work, has incurred the enmity of a
certain class of residents of that city by
reason of its bitter denunciation of the
Alaska engineering commission and its
dealings with the labor problem. It has
been especially severe in its remarks with
reference also to the laborers employed by
the commission, whom it designates as
“Bohunks.” Recently it had a rather ex
citing experience with representatives of
these laborers, and in its issue of January
15 thus describes the incident:
“Monday last wild rumors were floating
around throughout the city that our little
office had been wrecked and that we had
been put out of business completely —from
a bnhunk point of view—but tlie rumor
was a false one, as you will note by our
issue nf today, and being Americans and
operating an American paper under Ameri
can conditions, with the constitutional
right of the freedom of the press in this
land of the free, and will continue to pub
lish and criticize so long as we are within
our rights, so you can rest assured that
the little paper will appear among you as
usual.
“On the day mentioned there appeared
at this ollice a man who claimed to rep J
resent a body of the element commonly
known in various sections of the United
Stales as bohunks, and asked for a delink '
tion of the word, and that we cease using i
the term, or, in other words, he came to
censor our reading matter to suit the cb I
incut known as bohunks. After a lengthy
talk with the gentleman he left with the [
impression that he would have to change
his views, as ours would stand. lie seemed t
satisfied after we got through telling him j
it was only an American slang used against '
that class of people, and if they thought ,
the shoe fit snugly to their ‘little’ feet i
they were welcome to it. He bade us
good day and departed.
“He had hardly disappeared before a
large delegation of that class of ‘big buss’ j
citizens made their appearance, !c< 1 by a!
gent recently designated in court as the !
‘bohunk king,’ one Manilla. They wanted :
to do some censoring too, but were like ;
wise informed that the blue pencil had
an operator and their services were not
required. They all tried tj talk at the
same time; and for a while we were at a
loss to know whether it was a serious mat- j
ter or a bolting political faction. However, |
when their wings dropped and the ota-j
tions had ceased, after making all kinds ■
of dire threats, from masticating us alive
to an all-around eld fashioned massacre,
they gathered their stately garments to- ,
rother and walked away, shaking their i
fists at the poor building as they departed, j
“In a communication printed in an
other paper in the territory, Representa
tive Day, who was here with Delegate
Wicker,sham last November, after men
tinning the many advantages and beauti
ful situation of Anchorage, ends the para
graph thus, ‘But 1 and goes on to re
in ai s:
“ i here is another ‘city just outi-ule
of the town limits, that is called the “Bo
k Village,” and it is inhabited largely
by people who work for the commission,
and who, after pay day. go to the post
office and buy a money order and send
their earnings to their homes in Europe
or some other country, instead of buying
lots or paying rent to someone who hu>.
and built a house upon it. Now, if this
class of people are the kind who are going
to develop Alaska, we will wait a long
time before we will have a sufficient
amount of tonnage fur our “government”
railroad to pay for the paint to paint the
signal posts on the road. Why does the
commission employ such men
“The answer is easy, Mr. Day. It is
the miserable standard of wages set by
that high-salaried bunch of officials known
as the engineering commission, a 37Va
cont wage offered to white men in Alaska.
That is the reason. Of course the bohunk
(lament can thrive on that wage and have I
enough left to buy a red apple for the '
‘big boss.’
“In connection herewith we desire to i
thank the many good citizens, our old j
friends the sourdoughs and others, who
rushed to our rescue when they scented
danger, and we would advise that Jounch
who have contributed so liberally for their
people on the other side to go back to
their homes, or else become good citizens
and live under the same flag as we Ameri
cans live under. Leave your customs be
hind to fertilize the soil you cannot firing
with you.”
