DELEGATE FROM
EACH DIVISION
MEMORIAL INTRODUCED TO
HAVE FOUR IN CONGRESS
FROM ALASKA.
JUNEAU, April 26.—Senator Sul
zer has introduced a memorial asking
congress to pass a bill providing for
four delegates to congress from Al
aska, one from each division of the
territory. This memorial is regard
ed in some quarters as a sort of sub
stitute for the proposals as to in
creased territorial powers and state
hood.
It looks now as if the senate and
house are deadlocked on the question
of the revenue bill and the governor
declares that he \\ ill call a special
session unless the bill is passed as it
is necessary for the working of the
law of the territory.
BASEBALL CLUB HAS
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
Plans to Invite Outside Clubs to
Play Here.
There was an enthusiastic meeting
of the Baseball Club last night and
some extensive plans laid for A-l
baseball, which if realized, will see
several outside clubs here this season.
An invitation is extended to every
one to attend the dance next Satur
day night, as a general good time is
assured. A charge of 10 cents per
dance will be made ami there will be
competent floor managers on hand to
see that everyone has a good time.
Manager Koontz, of the Casino, has
offered to donate the proceeds of the
show on Wednesday night, May 5th,
special features of which will be an
nounced later, to the Baseball C lub,
at the usual price.
The boys are goning to considerable
expense, and both managers are tak
ing much time and trouble in their
efforts to put the grounds in line
shape for the first class exhibitions
which they hope to stage this sum
mer. Not one cent goes to either
managers or players but is spent for
necessary paraphernalia and the up
keep of the grounds.
GERMANY PAYS
• FOR THE FRYE
REFUSES TO PAY FOR CARGO
BECAUSE MEANT FOR
BRITISH.
WASHINGTON. April 2D.—Ger
many has offered to pay for the sink
ing of the American ship Frye but
has refused to pay for the cargo be
cause that cargo was consigned to
Britain and was contraband of war.
This government has accepted the
terms which were offered under the
old treaty between this nation and |
the German government. The Frye
was sunk by the German converted j
cruiser Prinz Eitel Fredrich which is |
now interned at Newport News. At;
the time the Germans decided only to
throw the cargo of wheat overboard i
but the operation took so long that
the | lan was altered and the vessel
was sunk. The acceptance of the pro
posal of the Germans is taken here
to mean that contraband cargoes may
be destroyed by any belligerent
power.
FIRE DEPT. MEETS.
The fire department held its regular
meeting last night and transacted im- j
portant business. The condition of j
the city in future is sure to make the j
department the most important in the j
city’s affairs and it is evident that the ,
boys are fully aware of the fact and,
are taking steps to be ready. It has j
been suggested by the fire chief that
when a practice call is rung in future |
it will be done by the ringing of three
bells, or some such way, so that a
scare to the people will be avoided.
