LARGE COMPANY DONATES
PLANT TO GOVERNMENT
WASHINGTON, D. C„ March 6 —
William A. Morgan, president of the
Buffalo Copper & Brass Milling Co.,
which for the last two years has
been supplying the Canadian govern
ment with DO per cent of the mater
ial for shell discs purchased outside
of Canada and 75 per cent of the
came material bought by France
outside of that country, has placed
its entire plant at the disposal of the
United States government. He is in
Washington conferring with the army
and navy officials and members of
the advisory board for national de
fense.
He says: "I am astounded at the
work going on in the army and navy
departments. Until I came to Wash
ington I thought the government was
no nearer preparedness than it was
a year ago. Work that has been ac
complished within the last few weeks
is remarkable.”
MAN IS KILLED AND
WAR PLOT IS SCENTED
PHILADELPHIA, March 6.—San
Jenkins, trusted employee of the gov
ernment, the only man who knew
the location of every motor station
and electrical device at the Frank
fort, Kentucky arsenal was brutally
beaten down last night, then shot to
death. Jenkins was killed within two
squares of his home. .
At the hospital Jenkins said that
he almost got the best of the two
men who had attacked, him He was
unable to describe his assailants.
Three minutes after reaching the hos
pital he died.
Working along the theory of some
one at the arsenal wishing to re
move Jenkins so it might be possible
to cripple the electrical apparatus,
there, police, with the secret servic?
guards employed there, interrogated
one man whom they suspected. He
accounted for his time during the
evening. His alibi is being further in
vestigated.
ALASKA EXHIBIT IS
PLANNED BY THE C. I*. H.
The Canadian Pacific Railway is
planning an Alaska display for va
rious eastern exhibitions also fairs
in the western part of Canada to
be held this spring, summer and
fall. This is the announcement re
ceived today in Juneau from the
publicity department of the railway,
coming in a special advice irom 1\
F. W. Lowlc, who cabled from Skat
way.
The Canadian Pacific Railway
plans to put the exhibit from Alas
ka at Toronto, London and Ottawa
and the big events held in those
three cities and then ship the en
lire exhibit to the numerous fairs
to be held in Western Canada. The
company will arrange for men to
accompany the exhibitions, giving
lectures and will transport the ex
hibits from place to place and a
large sum of money has been appro
priated for this amount.
The significance of this big fea
ture is plainly apparent to all Alas
kans and will prove a great incen
tive for travel and incidentally, per
haps, settlement in Alaska. As the
collection of this exhibit will involve
much time and expense it is under
stood that the Commercial organiza
tions of the north will lend great as
sistance if they will help in the col
lection of Totem poles. Indian wares
and photographs.

MAKES 40 VER CENT
BASIS FOR TAXATION
OLYMPIA. March 6.—The senate
yesterday amended the hous® bill
Axing 50 per cent of the property
value as a basis for taxation to make
40 per cent the basis. As amended the
bill passed 23 to 8. The 60 per cent
was agreed on in the house to create
a uniform system throughout the
state. The senate changed the figure
on the ground that some of the as
sessments are now as low as 0 pei
cent and the 50 per cent basis would
norm it too large an increase in taxes

KING OF GREECE
MAY BE CAPTIVE
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 6.—
The Tanine newspaper says that the
King of Greece is now virtually held
prisoner by the Entente powers in his
palace at Athens and that those pow
ers have established a censorship and
'blockade around Greece which makes
the feeble efforts of Germany in Bel
gium look like amateurs. In addi
tion to the king, it is said, the heads
of the royalist forces are also kept
within close surveillance and have
been given to understand that an at
tempt on their part to leave the ter
ritory would result in their arrest.
Authorities here believe that the
harsh treatment of Greece has made
her an enemy of the Entente Allies
forever, and that she would willingly
join the Central powers now if she
had the opportunity.

SIDNEY D. CHARLES TO
PUBLISH ALASKA MONTHLY
Sidney D. Charles, the well-known
Alaska newspaper man, and until re
cently with the Juneau Dispateh, will
publish at Juneau a new monthly
publication under the title of.
"Alaska.” The first number, which
is soon to be issued, will be known
as the Legislative number. Concern
ing his new venture Mr. Charles said:
“The publication is the crystalliza
tion of ideals and dreams which I
have had for years. Heretofore, most
monthly publications for Alaska have
been gotten out in Seattle. They have
lacked the original flavor and fresh
ness of the true Northland spirit.
Mine by be for ‘Alaska’ published in
Alaska by an Alaskan who knows the
conditions and by an Alaskan publish
ing firm. For the ‘Legislative Num
ber’ this month I have already secur
ed much interesting data.”

competent testimony.
