SEW VHP, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1016.
Secretary Lane must have known more than he wished tc say when he
cabled the Gateway that he “hoped” the Emergency Appropriation would bv
obtained by February first. At the time the cable was received from Mr
Lane this paper suggested that the word “hope in that ease meant believe
or “expect.” It is worthy of note now that both houses passed the bill be
fore the date named ami the likelihood is that if the cables were in commis
sion yesterday we should have received the news that the money was
available.
While speaking about that money it may be permissible to say that the
cable published in this paper regarding the distribution of the money in the
different divisions was sent direct by the United Press. It has been made
evident that the United Press has always been first to tell what happened in
congress about the appropriation. It has also been made evident that the
United Press has always been right, and these facts go to render likely the
fact that 4 had the true information also as to the manner in which the
emergency money will be expended. Other newspapers in the territorv
might try to deny this but. of course, allowance must tie made for news
papers that did rot get the news and feel that in self defense it would be
advisable to leny it even though they might bo practising some deception oi
the public.
The Conscription law is about to make a most remarkable change ii
English life. It will probably have a very good effect instead of a bad. Ai
awful lot of those people over there had come to have an idea that each ont
of them was a sort of a little government in himself. The thought cf any
one interfering with his personal liberty was immensely remote. Th<
thought that he must put on a military coat was an absolute absurdity. You
know, a private soldier was something beneath consideration altogether and j
the idea that a man might have such a coat put on his shoulder by force!
never before existed. Even officers in the regular army only wore their uni
forms when they had to. The military business was something that no one
should care about or think about or study. It was a thing apart, and the!
result of all this is being seen now in the dispatches from the front.
REDUCE GERMAN MERCHANT
MARINE 800,000 TONS
LONDON. Jan. 31.—The war has
reduced the German merchant marine
by nearly 800,000 tons, according to
Sir Owen Phillipps, British maritime
authority and ship owner. He said:
‘Of the German tonnage of 5,459,-1
296, slightly over 250,000 tons have
been captured by the British navy;
38,000 tons captured by the other
Allies; 117,000 tons sunk; 397,000 tons
interned in ports of the British em
pire while the remainder, with the
exception of a few ships in the Baltic
are rusting in German and neutral
harbors."

! FROST JURORS ASTOUNDED
AT BRIBE CHARGES
Men Who Served in Alaskan Coal
Trial Surprised at Accusa
tion Against Member.
CHICAGO, Jan. 13.—A number of
the men who served as jurors in the
kcrost Alaska coal land trial before
Judge Landis three years ago went tc
the federal building yesterday in re
sponse to summones and were ques
tinned by Assistant District Attorney
Albert L. Hopkins and Allan J.
Carter. Hinton G. Clabaugh, chief of
the bureau of investigation, also took
a hand in the examination.
All expressed surprise at the
charges of bribery in connection with
the jury. District Attorney Charles
F. Clyne decided to continue the pre
liminary investigation of the charges
| that William Bourke, former mayor
of Blue Island, had been paid a bribe
i of $5,000 while serving as a juror in
the case. For that reason the grand
jury took a recess until Jan. 24.
Attorney Offers Aid
Counsel for the defendants in the
Frost case probably will be called in
and examined within a few days.
Albert Fink, who was counsel for
Albert C. Frost in the trial, called at
Mr. Clyne’s office during the day ami
offered the government every assist
ance in the bribery investigation.
The charge was made by Archibald
T. Fitzgerald, who is under indict
ment on a charge of conspiracy to
conceal assets in the Ernest R. Erick
son furniture bankruptcy. Fitzger
ald is held at the Du Page county
jail at Wheaton and Bourke is in the
county jail.
Juror Is Astounded
Charles B. Mead, of Geneva, who
was on the Frost jury, was among
those questioned.
“I was astounded when I heard of
the charges,” said he. “So far as I
know no one was approached with the
intent of bribery. I heard or saw
nothing that would arouse suspicion.”
Others who were questioned were
X. M. Biddle, Joseph Beatti, Frank
Bogard and Charles Chapin.—Chicago
Tribune.
DERBY A NEAR KING
s'1 -
LONDON, Jan. 31.—Fate only, t
: became known today, prevented the
• Earl of Derby, present Director of
recruiting, from being ;n the royal
shoes of King Constantine of Greece.
In 1862 Prince Otto of Bavaria, then
King of Greece, was forced to ab
dicate. In 1863 the Earl of Derby,
Prime Minister of England and
grandfather of the present Earl, was
| offered the Hellenic throne. He re
fused it. Had he accepted, the
British Director of Recruiting today
would be the King of Greece.

OATMAN, Ariz., Jan. 31.—How
would you like to walk 40 miles every
time you took a bath. That’s what
the citizens of this place have to do.
Either that, or pay 20 cents a gallon
for water.
The mining boom is making the
town gr6w at the rate of about 100
persons a day. The local water sup
ply has to be teamed from Needles,
Cal., 40 miles away. One enterpris

eight cots which he rents ut $1 each a

A “TRULY HUMAN DOCUMENT”
ZURICH, Jan. 15.—What was
termed by Swiss officials “truly a
human document,” was “bared” by
secret service agents in the arrest of
a woman, an alleged Austrian spy,
whose back was covered with indelible
writing—military secrets. The Swiss
agents are also reported to have ar
tested another woman with a “broken
arm.” The cast, removed, revealed a
perfectly good arm bandaged with
military documents.
