STRONG RESIGNED
SO.K.
SEATTLE, March 7—-Ashman Brown, the Post-Intel
ligencer’s Washington correspondent, in a special dispatch
says that is is understood that Gov. Strong, of Alaska, re
signed last Saturday. This is understood to have been re
quested owing to the governor placing his candidate in the
field for delegate, William Maloney, against Delegate
Charles A. Sulzer, the recognized Democ c leader* in
Alaska. The members of the Senate committee on Terri
tory asserted today that Alaska was now governorless as
Surveyor General Davidson is acting governor only since
Strong quit.
_ « « i • . i ■ r\ • 1 . ^ i.
Ashnum Brown, lurcher claims tnat mggs nas nut
been confirmed yet and that Senator Pittman, of Nevada,
Chairman of the for: ■ *i _ai Committee recently told Sec
retary of the Interior Lu.m that any nomination, except
Strong’s, would meet opposition in the Committee. Sena
tor Pittman however declined to make any comment on
Strong’s resignation until he had confirmed tiie informa
tion of the resignation.
It is also stated that President Wilson will demand
Rigg’s confirmation to end the political muddle in Alaska
caused by many of Strong’s recent actions.
It is indicated that there will be no appointment to
fill Rigg’s pace on the Alaskan Engineering Commission.
No one ever replaced Mears and the Commission is now re
duced to Chairman Edes. It is understood that Edes will j
be in entire charge of the railroad work hereafter as plans j
for a large Commission are useless as the engineer’s on'
the three divisions have the work of construction absolute- j
ly in charge.

fEDERAL OEEICER
TO SREAK UP THE
GERMAN RING HER:
#
WASHINGTON, March 7—Alien property custodian
Palmer today asked Congress for legislation empowering
him to sell any enemy property in the Unittd States or ter
ritories, within his discretion.
In his request to Congress Custodian Palmer said
that the proceeds would be turned into the treasury and
used by the government as it saw fit. The property might
be returned to the owner after the war.
Custodian Palmer stated that the reason for the re
quest was that the war sales of enemy property will ham
per German aid in America. Under the German law any
American property in Germany can be treated similiarlv.
In a futher statement regarding sale of German prop
erly, Mr. Palmer said that he plans to break up the vast
German holdings in America and place them in other
ba ids so that after the war the holdings cannot continue
to be the outposts of “German Kultur.”
The Senate Appropriations committee approved Pal
mer’s plan to sell the property as requested.

TEDDYBUTTS
IN ON GAM!
BILL OF
NORTH
NE W YORK, March 7. — Theodore
Roosevelt has used his big cudgel in
behalf of Alaska’s big game by send
ing to the American Game Protective
Association’s convention a message
urging the defeat of the Sulzer bill
prov ding for the killing of Alaska
game for cold storage. The Associa
tion adopted resolutions urging the
defeat of the bill.
Roosevelt’s message said: “To the
profiteering proposals of the pseudo
patriots, patriots for revenue only,
the protection of wild life in war time
shall not be relaxed and the united
hosts of conservation must reply that
the Sulzer bill shall not pass.’’
Butting in, Colonel the Teddy, and
the American Game Protective Asso
ciation! If the aforesaid Colonel and
the members of the game association
Knew what they were discussing, they
would be all right but they are all
wrong. The Sulzer bill is one per
mitting natives with reindeer herds to
kill them for their own use. That is
the only bill known about in Seward
Teddy would undoubtedly like to so*'
the natives starve and at that he calls
them “pseudo patriots.”
