GREEK GOVERNMENT WORRIED
\
Popularity of Former Minister Who
Sought to Bring Greece Into Con

' '• yj>.
Officials.
■ vv> •
ATHENS, April 25.—The extent
to which former Premier Venizelos
has obtained popular support since
his re-entry into politics is causing
grave concern in government circles.
The meetings of the adherents of
Venizelos, who as Premier was
strongly in favor of Greece joining
the Allies in the war against Ger
many and Austria, are being made
occasions of extraordinary demonstra
tions, and it is impossible to predict
the result of the campaign against
the present government.
When Venizelos occupied the office
of Premier, it was only by the utmost
endeavors of the king that the coun
try was enabled to maintain its neu
tral position. With the increasing
popularity of the Ex-Premier, it is
doubtful if even the King can hold
the country to neutrality should Ven
izelos take a prominent position in
the government.
START WORK ON
LATOUCHE CLAIMS
IS PROMISING COPPER GROUP
Six Men Have Been Employed by
H. W. Vance on Property Recently
Bonded from John Wilson and
Joseph Little.
H. W. Vance, the well known min
ing man, returned last night from
Latouche island, where he went to in
spect the Wilson-Little copper prop
erty, consisting of a group of ten
claims.
Mr. Vance recently took a bond of
the property, which is considered one
of the most promising properties on
the Sound. A large amount of devel
opment work has already been done,
and as the property is equipped with
machinery of the most modern type,
with an ample hydro-electric power
plant, the bringing it up to a shipping
basis will require comparatively lit
tle time. Mr. Vance has ample finan
cial backing to carry out any project
he may undertake and it is anticipat
ed the property will be put on the list
of shippers this summer.
A crew of six men has already been
put to work, and this number will be
increased as conditions warrant.
LAST CHANCE TO EXPRESS
OPINION ON LIQUOR LICENSE
United States Commissioner Geo.
J. Love, announces that the census
books on the question of license or no
license, will be kept open until to
morrow noon, and that any person
who may have been overlooked by the
enumerators, may call at the office of
the commissioner, between the hours
of 4 and 6 o’clock this afternoon, and
9 o’clock and noon tomorrow morn
ing for the purpose of registering
their opinion. The enumerators ex
pect to finish their labors today.
DAILY DOINGS OK
THE DISTRICT COURT
In the absence of Judge Brown
there is no business being conducted
by the court. To obviate the neces
sity of calling a new term, which
would require a notice of thirty days,
the court is called to order by the
clerk and adjourned from day to day.
Up to noon no message had been
received from Judge Brown, and it is
not known whether he has arrived
at Anchorage.

HENDRICKS&N GETS CAPITAL,
Work on Three in One Mine Has. Been
Resumed, and It Is Ex|>ected Prop
erty Will Be Placed in Producing
Class This Summer.
There is a rumor about town that
the Three in One property, near
Shoup bay, has been financed by M.
F. Hendrickson, who is now in New
York, and that the development of
this promising property will proceed
without interruption.
Mr. F. J. Devinney, who has an in
terest in the property, and who has
superintended the development work
already done, when qffestioned re
garding the report, refused to either
confirm or deny it. He stated, how
ever, that he had put three men to
work on the ground, and from this
it is easy to deduce that money has
been raised to go ahead with the
work.
The Three in One property is con
sidered one of the most promising
gold quartz properties on the bay. A
large amount of work has been done
there, with most Satisfactory results,
and sufficient ore has been blocked
out, of exceptionally rich values, to
warrant the placing of a mill on the
claims. It is expected that within a
short time the mill will be installed,
and another mine added to the list of
producers before the summer is over.
Mr. Devinney is very optimistic
over the future of the property and
has turnd down several offers to take
over the property. The claims have
an exceptionally good showing of ricfi
ore, and he is satisfied it will become
a big dividend payer.
PIONEER’S DANCE WAS
SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR
One ot tne most successful affairs
of the season was the Easter ball giv
en by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Or

night. The hall was beautifully dec

which were interwoven Easter lilies.
A five-piece orchestra furnished excel
lent music, and a most delicious
lunch was served. Twenty-three
numbers were rendered and it was not
until after 2 o’clock this morning that
the tired, but very pleased dancers
dispersed to their homes.

SECRETARY DANIELS HISSED
AT NAVY LEAGUE
WASHINGTON, D. C„ April 25.—
Secretary Daniels' refusal to allow
Rear Admiral Fiske, for aid for oper
ations, to read a paper today before

of denunciation of the Secretary in
the convention, and drew hisses from
every part of the hall. The Secretary
of the Navy was roundly scored for
his interference in military affairs
arid his narrow-mindedness in refus
ing officers of the navy permission to
talk on matters for the good of the
department.
