JUNE^AU, March 29.—Bills were
introduced today in both the house
and senate providing for the estab
lishment of “Citizenship Night
schools, providing for their organiza
tion, designating courses of instruc
tion and making provisions for the
payment of expenses.”
C. K. Snow is the author of the bill
and it was introduced in the senate
by Senator Sundback. The bill pro
vides that in any camp in the terri
tory where there are a number of for
eigners may get up a petition, sign- j
ed by at least 12, and present it to j
the judge of the district court in the j
division where the camp is located j
and the judge then has power to es- j
tablish a night school where those de
siring to attend may prepare them
selves for admission to citizenship in
the United States. Those signing the
petition must pledge themselves to
attend the school and must either de
clare their intentions at once, or have
done so already.
An instructor is to be appointed by
the judge of the court and he is also
a member of the district night school
board, the second member of which
will be appointed by the commissioner
and the third to be elected by the pu
pils of the school. The petition must
state the cost of a meeting room and
expenses for light, heat and necessary

furniture. The instructor will re
ceive a maximum of $5 per night and
school shall be held not less than two
nor more than five nights per week.
Should the average attendance for one
month be less than six pupils the
school shall not be continued without
special permission of the judge.
All instructions shall be conducted
in the English language and special
study must be made of the constitu
tion and history of the United States.
Instructions in other subjects taught
in the public schools may be given,
but no religious or political instruc
tion shall be given nor lectures on
those subjects given.
Any person, an adult or minor 16
years of age, who leads a civilized life
and who is not attending school else
where is eligible to attend the school.
The territorial commissioner of edu
cation shall designate the text books
which shall be used in the schools.
The bill provides for the payment
of the expenses from the territorial
treasury after vouchers properly
signed have been forwarded to both
the judge of the district court and to
the secretary of the territory.

NEW YORK, March 24.—A state
ment calling upon every alien in the
United States to make “an open dem
onstration of adherence” to the great
causes the country is upholding was
issued here tonight by F. A. Pezet,
former Peruvian minister to the
United States, who now is in business
in this city.
‘‘I think that the time has now
come,” Mr. Pezet said, “when it is
necessary that all aliens residing in
the United States, enjoying the hos
pitality of this country, and the many
advantages that its free institutions
offer, should make an open demon
stration of adherence to the great
causes that this nation upholds in its
present stand on behalf of the rights
of all peoples and more especially of
the peoples of the Americas.
“If I could make my voice heard
from one end to the other of this na
tion I would call all aliens who enjoy
the protection of Old Glory to be of
one accord with me and sign the
pledge of adherence to the great
cause of humanity that the United
States of America upholds.”
Believes Aliens Loyal.
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, com
mander of the department of the east,
addressing the republican club here
today, declared he did not believe the
United States would have any trouble
with the “so-called alien population”
within its borders. Charles Edward
Russell, socialist, asserted that poli
tics, creeds and beliefs are swept
aside in the emergency such as the
nation is facing.
Cannot Condone Inaction.
TOPEKA, Kan., March 24.—Gov.
Arthur Capper today in a speech be
fore the Kansas conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church said: “I
have talked against war because I
have considered it a wrong against
the masses, but the conduct of Ger
many is so unjustifiable, so indefensi
ble, so criminal, that all patriotic cit
izens feel our government can no
longer condone it without loss of self
respect for life and liberty, that is
dearer than life itself.”
SALT LAKE CITY, March 24.—
Governor Simon Bamberger, as com
mander-in-chief of the national guard
of Utah, issued an official proclama
tion calling upon all the eligible, able
bodied men of the state to enlist vol
untarily in the national guard. It is
announced that active recruiting of
men for the guard is to begin at Salt
Lake city and throughout the state
Monday morning.
SEATTLE, March 20.—“Residents
of the Tanana valley do not care a
mite if onions jump from 9 cents a
pound to 19 cents a pound, or if a side
order of potatoes goes from 5 cents to
15 cents, for they could not pay for
the dishes that cost less than 25 cents
anyhow,” according to Judge L. T.
Erwin, of Fairbanks, Alaska. Judge
Erwin said that a quarter is the smal
lest coin that people in and around
Fairbanks use. They seldom see one
of less value, says the Times.
“Chewing gum, magazines, cigars
and drinks all cost 25 cents,” said
Judge Erwin. “Once in awhile some-'
one from the outside comes around
with a dime or a nickel, but he is a
rare visitor.
Judge Erwin is registered at the
Frye. .He is accompanied by Dr. J.
R. Bowin, of Fairbanks, who assisted
him in taking three insane persons
from Fairbanks to Portland. They
had an uneventful trip over the trail
and report that there has been weath
er more favorable for mushing.
U. S. TO BUILD
BETTER ZEPPS
THIN GERMANS
WASHINGTON, March 15.—With
the increasing tense international sit
uation, the first American ‘'Zeppelin,”
which the navy department is now
planning, is a subject of keen interest
in national capital circles. Rumor
has it that the exact measurements
and a detail description of the Ger
man super-Zeppelin recently brought
down at England, are in the hands of
American authorities, and that the
first American military dirigible may
show several features of Germany’s
latest model, with at least one great
American improvement.
This particular German super-Zep
pelin was 680 feet long and 72 feet
across the beam. With its six 240
horsepower engines, its crew of about
22 men, guns ami all, it weighed only
50 tons—less than a single twelve
inch gun on an American warship.
The secret of Count Zeppelin’s suc
! cess in building this airship of the air
so light, engineers say, lay in its
skeleton frame work, made up of a
myriad of aluminum girders and
hoops. Wonderful as this is, Ameri
can engineeVs say they can go the
Germans one better, through secret
processes that are known only to
American manufacturers for produc
ing the finest aluminum alloys. These
proposed improvements will, it is
said, enable America to surpass the
Geriian zeppelins both in speed and
carrying power.
The American group of aluminum
alloys known as lynite is today the
finest aluminum produced anywhere.
The development of this alloy has
given American manufacturers a big
lead over any other nation. It is al
i read used extensively in the motors
of leading American automobiles and
for many other parts, where through
reduction in weight, it effects an im
mense saving. Its application to air
plane motors and to the American
“Zeppelin” is a new departure now
being observed with interest by such
men as Hudson'Maxim, Howard Cof
fin, Admiral Peary and others.
It is said that, owing to this ad
vance made by American manufactur
ers in aluminum construction, Secre
tary Daniels has decided not to un
dertake the construction of the Zep
pelin in the Washington navy yard, as
first contemplated, but will let the
contract to private organizations.
AT THE EMPRESS.
Famous Military Drama and Charlie
Chaplin.
This Tuesday and Wednesday,
April 10 and 11, the Empress will
present a stirring photo adaptation of
the noted military romance, “The
Commanding Officer.” It combines
in a thrilling and absorbing manner
a novel and varied environment and
an original plot that often contains
an intensity of dramatic power and
appeal seldom contained in a screen
play. With the interest of the theme
centering about the beautiful young
wife of the commanding officer, who
is unjustly accused of an immoral
deed of which she is thoroughly guilt
less, the development of the plot is
marked by a uniformity of merit and
a consistency of suspense that result
in a complete conquest of sympathies
of the audience. A counterplot of re
markable power adds to the over
whelming interest of the story.
“The commanding Officer” is by no
means all that is to appear on the
program Tuesday and Wednesday.
We are to have the inimitable come
dian, Charlie Chaplin, in his familiar
baggy trousers, cutaway coat at least
two sizes too small, his dinky derby,
diminutive moustache and slender
cane, not forgetting the celebrated
brogans, in a Mutual Charlie Chaplin
Special, “The Vagabond.” During the
action of this hilarious comedy, Char
lie introduces bits of “funny stuff,”
sure to provoke laughter in the most
staid and dignified. 781
