CITIZENSHIP IS
DENIED MAN
FOR WAR VIEW
FAIRBANKS, May 20.—(By mail.)
—At a recent session of the district
court Judge Bunnell denied an appli
cation of citizenship because the ap
plicant showed a lack of loyalty. Ihe
following dialogue ended in the denial.
Mr. Roth—Then you do not believe
in the conduct of the present war on
the part of the government?
Applicant—I think that the war
should have been submitted to a ref
erendum vote of the people.
Mr. Roth—Well don’t you think that
the president has the right to declare
war?
Applicant—I think he acted kinda
high-handed.
Judge Bunnell— (Interrupting, to
Mr. Roth)—You need not ask any
more questions. (To applicant)—\ouj
are denied the right to be admitted |
to citizenship. (Again to Mr. Roth) I
_You will report this man’s name to I
the attorney general.
The foregoing, in effect, was the
conversation indulged in last night in
district court when John Carlson of j
Cleary, was being examined for nat
uralization. Prior to that time ( ar’-j
son had been asked other questions,
but when it came to the war he ap
peared to become evasive in his answ
ers. He evaded a direct question when
asked by District Attorney Roth if he
would do what he could in the event
that his services were required by the
government, not as a soldier but in
any other capacity, saying that he
thought he had done enough. He then
admitted that he had served #in the
navy for three years during the Span
ish-American war, stating that he had
been on the U. S. S. Charleston.
Carlson is a native of Sweden and
forty-four years of age, according to
his application for citizenship and his
statements on the stand. He is a
miner.

RECORD RATE
(Br United State* Cabl*)
SEATTLE, Thursday, June 7.—The
Skinner syndicate has chartered the
Franeess L. Skinner, formerly the
German ship Sesosti is, to H. F. Os-1
trander for Masuda and company for
a round trip voyage to Japan. The
basis of the charter calls for $1T» per

west coast of South America about
ten years ago. The vessel drifted
ashore and although practically un
damaged it was nearly impossible to
refloat it. The crew abandoned the
ship, leaving only one of the engineers
as care taker. He was struck with a
bright idea and furnished electric
light and power to a nearby town.
Frank L. Skinner bought the wreck
and floated it recently and it was re
paired at Nanaimo.
