I HENRY WATTERSON'S IRONY
I Louisville. Kv.. July 24. “Declined with

j i f the Louisville Courier-Journal, to the
challenge issued by General Rosalie Jones
! that he debate with her the question of
I woman suffrage from the court house steps
I at St. Louis. General Jones, in issuing
! her challenge, said CoL.nel Y\ atiarson be
! 1 uiged to the “age of knee breeches and
1 nice Huffy laces. ’ The editor. in his reply,
refers to himself as “Foxy Grandpa.” and
to his chnljanger as “General the Honorable
Rosalie Jones of the skyscraping foot ma
rines.” Watterson wrote in part :
“Nay, nay. Rosalie, dear Rosalie! Shall
wo not drop the unwomanly and unmean
ing ‘General’ and call you pet names? You
have the wrong pig by the ear. Let Foxy
Grandpa press an ice upon you. Stick

from the court home steps, let us go and

may say it without offense, still run to your

CONVICT ASSAY OFFICER
CLAIMS ILL-GOTTEN SPOILS
Seattle, July G. Another court episode
in the career of George Edward Adams,
convicted embezzler of between $80,000"
and $150,000 worth of gold dust from the
United States assay office between the
years 1901 und 1907, occurred today when
iiis attorney, Herbert W. Meyers, petitioned
Federal Judge Neterer for the recovery of
more than $70,000 said to belong to Adams
and to be held in the registry of the court.
Meyers represented that the money be
longed to Adams personally and was raised
to meet claims made by various creditors
who never appeared to get the money.
United States Attorney Clay Allen argued
that the fund was part of the money stolen
by Adams when assistant United States
ass aye r.
Judge Neterer took the matter under ad
visement. requesting both counsel to hie
briefs in support of their positions. The
court intimated, however, that a decree of
former Judge Hanford, if still valid, made
it appear that the money belonged to Ad
ams and should be recovered by him.
Adams now is serving a sentence at Mc
Neil island for conspiracy to counterfeit,
having been convicted of this charge after
serving his term for the theft of the gold
dust.

PREFER CHARGES AGAINST
SEAL ISLAND OFFICIALS
Washington, July 20.—Deputy Commis
sioner of Fisheries Jones, who was sent by
the department of the interior to investi
gate conditions in Alaska, has been ex
tremely busy since he reached that country,
and has done hi« work thoroughly as far
as he lias gone with his investigation.
Jones has sent in a report to the de
partment which exposes a long-continued
system of fraud and maltreatment of na
tives on the Pribilof islands and those ad
joining by government employes which,
Commissioner Jones says, merits severe
punishment.
The charges preferred against the govern
ment officials of the islands which Jones
has been investigating are the unlawful kill
ing of seal pups and the debauching of na
tives. The Pribilof officials who are charged
are as follows: E. Hatton, agent and care
taker; Tongue, storekeeper; Dr. McGovern,
former physician; McLennen, naval wire
less operator, all the St. Paul island offi
cials and the proctor, agent and caretaker
at St. George island. The charges against
these officials were preferred by Mrs. Alving
CL Whitney, wife of the school teacher on
the Pribilof islands. After examination of
the charges, Jones wired to the department
recommending that a complete new force
be sent to the islands immediately, saying
evidence so far warrants the charges.
The navy department has taken the mat
ter up in the case of McLennen and charges
will be preferred against him.

FRANKING PRIVILEGE USED

Washington, July 20.—The postoffice de

j the effect the Wilson-Undervood tariff
would have on the beet sugar industry.

WANAMAKER IN FAVOR
OF RECOGNIZING UNIONS
Philadelphia, June 23.—“It’s an insane
thing not to recognize organizations of
labor,” said John Wanamaker today in giv
ing testimony before the United States com
mission on industrial relations. He made
•his statement in reply to a question
whether employers should recognize labor
unions.
On the general question of unionism. Mr.
1 Wanamaker said he believed labor had “suf
’’ered frightfully” in the past because of poor
leaders, but added that he is seeing a better
1 class of leadership coming in.
Commissioner Weinstock of California,
who presided today, asked the witness if he
could supply the missing link that would
'bring capital and labor together. Mr. Wan
arnaker said:
“I believe that labor and capital have
the p*rht to organize. On the mie sid«.
capital, there is responsibility, and on the
Miner, labor, there is none, there you stop.
The missing links I believe to be prejudice
and misunderstanding, which must be over
comp.
“One of the ways to wipe out this prejud
ice and misunderstanding is to unhitch
labor unions from political parties.”
Speaking of capital, Mr. Wanamaker said
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., “made a great mis
take when he put President Wilson in the
position of sending troops into Colorado.
“I might be mistaken in this.” he said,
“but that is the way I feel about it.
“Contact with the employes is a remec(y
for much misunderstanding,” the witness
sail!. “There are labor unions which have
no other purpose than to protect their
wages,” he said. “Men who spend their
time getting their salaries raised generally
fail.”
Commissioners Lennon of Illinois and
O’Connell of Washington, representatives of
workmen on the commission, plied Mr.
Wanamaker with questions. Asked whether
he was an advocate of the eight-hour day,
he replied:
“Eight hours more or less.”
The witness painted a rosy future for
the workingman.
“Men and women are in a rising market.
They are being better educated, have more
sanitary surroundings, and are no longer
mats for rich men to wipe their feet upon,
he said.
IMPORTANT IF TRUE
(Fairbanks Citizen'
If times lire hard in Interior Alaska it
is certain that it is almost all due to the
unreasonable rates established by the White
Pass. The cost of living has almost
doubled since the White Pass raised its rates
early this spring, and it is quite certain that
if the government officials in Washington
knew of the abuses that the people of this
section are suffering as a result of this
high rate, “something would be doing.” If
this condition continues, it is quite certain
that the consumers, who must pay the ex- I
cessive costs, will organize and place the j
matter before the interstate commerce com- t
mission or before the department of justice j
in Washington, which enforces the Sherman
anti trust law.

AFTER ALASKA ORES
In order to care for the large ore ship
ments to Puget sound from Prince W;Hi»rn
sound, all the Nome freighters of the Alaska
Steamship Company are sent into that dis
trict on their south bound voyages. The
large production of the Prince William j
sound mines, together with the ore carried :
from Skagway by the vessels of the Alaska
Steamship Company, has caused the pro
duction to exceed the capacity of the vessels
regularly on that run.
The steamship Cordova, which sailed
south front Nome on July 4. was ordered j
to go to Seattle via Prince William sound, i
She was to load 2,000 tons of ore at La !
touche end Cordova. The freighter Edith. ;
which returned to Prince William sound j
from Nome, sailed from Cordova for Skag
way to take on additional ore. She will take:
3,500 tons.
The Cordova is returning from her first
voyage to Kotzebue sound and Arctic ocean
ports. She immediately will load and return
on her second voyage. The Edith sailed
from Seattle early this spring with freight
for Nome and St. Michael.
