but real incongruity Of ideas. Tho Irish
are credited with a peculiar talent for

LAID AT REST WITH
 LITTLE CEREMONY FUNERAL OF ADoLPH sUTRO
 YESTERDAY. Services Were Held at His Old Home on the Ocean Shore and Were
 Devoid of Display.

The funeral services over the body Of Adolph Sutro were of the most unosten- tatious character. His remains, inclosed in a plain casket, had been conveyed to his old home, Sutro Heights, overlooking the ocean, whose troubled waters seemed to chant a funeral requiem as they un- ceasingly dashed against the rocks in unison with the signing of the trees that were stirred by the gentle breeze.
 From to 10 o'clock yesterday morning the remains lay in state in MT. Sutro' S favorite room to the left of the hallway, and his features were viewed by all who desired. A pail of violets rested upon the casket and everywhere about the room were numerous beautiful floral tributes from relatives and friends.
 At 10 o'clock the doors or the house were closed to the public, the funeral services then being held in private. only the members of the family and a lew Of MT Sutro's most intimate friends being present The relatives in attendance were II3r George Merritt Mrs Merritt, F. A. Morbid. Dr w. Winterberg and family, Mrs. E. F. Schucking and family, Mrs. Theresa Sutro Charles Sutro Sr., Charles Sifro Jr., Albert Sutro, Alfred Sutro. Gustav Sutro Edmund Lowenberg, Will liam Lowenberg and family and George IoWenberg. The friends present were Iudge E. W. McKinstry, R. H. Lloyd, W. K.

 Potter said he was in ignorance of the actual orders relative to the hour of re- porting Lieutenant Smith asked him to read the orders which had been given him. Potter refused to do so and was immedi- ately placed under arrest.
 When Potter was taken below young Tobin approached Lieutenant Strevell and requested permission to talk with him. The request was refused. The woman then begged the officers permission to say a farewell word. Her plea was in vain. Potter was taken below and shown an old straw mattress in the hold Of the vessel near the boilers. Lieutenant smith gave orders that this was to be his couch until Honolulu was reached.
 After being placed under arrest Potter was sullen and disagreeable. He tried to make trouble for every one near him.

The Government Fears That the Threatened Starvation May
 Cause BlOOdShed.
Desperate Efforts Will Be Made to Forward Supplies and Maintain Good Order.
 General Merriam's Plans.

Serious trouble in interior Alaska is ap- prehended by the United States Govern ment
 Food riots are feared at Fort Yukon and other upriver points, growing out of the failure of the transportation companies to get supplies in there on the prevailing low water.
 Acting on instructions received from Washington yesterday, Major General Merriam will quickly dispatch a battery of artillery to St Michael. the officer in charge having orders to proceed at once up the Yukon River to Fort Yukon and open military post for the coming win ter The expedition will also carry a large quantity of extra provisions and supplies to relieve distress. When St. Michael is reached the commanding of ficer will promptly levy on any river boats he may find, seizng them if neces- sary, and will transport his troops and supplies to their destination with all pos sible dispatch. A form of military gov ernment will be established and good or der maintained in Alaska, even if it re- quires the services of the soldiers and artillery.
 This news will come in the nature of a surprise to most people here. as the ab- sorbing interest taken in the war has tenn porarily diverted public attention from the Alaskan goldfields and the many thousands of people who entered the re- zion last year and this spring.
 But these persons-some 90, 900 or more have been struggling with grim fate for many a weary week. pushing on into the mountain traps of the interior and plaC- ing themselves beyond the reach of ocean vessels, the only sure carriers of supplies
 Early In the spring a remarkable thaw throughout Alaska and the British North west melted the snow on the mountains and in the valleys, and a phenomenal flood took place, the Yukon and other streams rising to a height unequaled in many years The country was thus drained of it's annual water supply. the summer being almost dry so far as rain is concerned The Yukon soon fell to a very low stage, and the river boats, with a few light-draught exceptions, found 1t impossible to get far up the stream. Two Dawson. and landed small cargoes of provisions and whisky, but the amount was utterly insufficient. Even the larg est of the Yukon craft can carry not to exceed 400 tons of freight at a trip, and this means supplies for year for about 400 men a miners outfit for one season weighing a ton. As fully 5000 people had reached Dawson and nearby points, there was SCarCel~ a taste Of new prOvt- sions for the crowd. It would have taken at least seventy-five large steamboats car rviug CargCes of 4G0 tons each to fully supply the multitude. Many, 1t Is true, brought in supplies with them, but in very limited quantities, and such supplies have been mostly consumed.
 Now the summer there Is almost over and the startling fact has become clearly

THE COMMISSIONERS
 START FOR HAWAII
MAY NOT ENFRANCHISE THE
 NATIVES.
President Dole Will Be Continued Indefinitely in Charge of Af-
 fairs as Governor.

How will the Hawaiians line up In politics? Well, I'm sure I don't know! That's a new question: laughed Senator Cullem, when approached on the subject of Hawaii yesterday. I've do not know that the Hawaiians will vote in general elections for while. People are already asking whether the islands will constitute a State or a Territory. AS a member of the Hawaiian Commission I cannot say what will be done yet-whether the rela- ton will be similar to that of an English colony to the mother country or closer one. However, there will probably be To- cal elections and 1 suppose the boys will at once begin to take sides in politics but whether the Republicans or the Demo crats or the Populists will have an inning first is more than 1 can guess.
 "One thing can be stated positively, and that Is the commission was given to understand that MT. Dole would be con tinued indefinitely in charge of affairs as Governor. The President recently wrote him letter. which I think Admiral Mil Ter carried, empowering him to hold office until some future time, when Congress may enact new legislation regarding the government of the islands. Dole IS V4f- tually Governor

are likely to arise in Alaska, growing out of the shortage of provisions, Is the yex- ing problem of what shall finally be done with all of the surplus people in Alaska Are they to be forcibly shipped to their homes, or are those who choose to be allowed to remain until the transporta- ton facilities of the region become suf- f1cient to supply all the food necessary for those who would mine in the coun- try? There are, no doubt, many thou sands who would like to remain and search for the golden treasures that cer- tainly lie buried in many directions, but if they do so, under existing conditions, they will virtually be dependent upon the Government to a great extent, and will expect relief when in distress. This is the view of the matter taken by many army officers, but 1t is mooted ques- tion as to what can be done under the law No existing statute, so far. as known permits of the expulsion from any portion of the United States of the people resident therein. and it Is quite doubtful if such thing could be done, even as a military necessity.
 The personnel of the Alaska expedition will be announced by General Merriam as soon as he can arrange the matter sat- isfactorly.
 Whether other bodies of troops will follow the battery is not yet known, all depending upon the action of the Secre- tary of War.

PITrsBuRG, Jan. 20.-Ten theological crap
shooters wero disciplined by tho faculty OF the
Western Theological Seminary, Presbyterian,
in Allegheny to-day. Expulsion is tho fate Of
throo and suspension tho punishment of seven.
One young man Is supposed to be on his way
here from Princeton University, summoned to
explain his alleged association with the crap
shooting and card playing that went on within
the walls of the venerable seminary here. The
institution is the theological department Of
the Western University Of Pennsylvania, which
celebrated the Tooth anniversary of its founda.
tion last year.
Several weeks ago, IL Is said, q member of the
faculty, passing q desk, noticed a demure theo-
logical student making a peculiar motion with
his empty hand, and heard him say between
clenched teeth, Come seven, come eleven"

said merely they were punished for ''unminis-
terial conduct" and their misdoings were char
acterized as "improprietics resulting from in
discretion and thoughtlessness."
The names OF those who are concerned were
not given to the public, but it was learned that
Of the expelled students one was n member of
the class that will graduate this year and two
were. members of the middle class. The CLASH
%fcation OF those who were suspended could not
be learned definitely, but II is said that most of
them belonged to tho middle class. The eleventh
man OF the group, until the beginning OF the
present session. was n member of tho class of
1922. but left to complete his theological edu-
cation at tho Princeton Seminary. 1t is said
that unless he can satisfactorily explain his
connection with the affair that brought about
the investigation his conduct will be reported to
the authorities at Princeton, in which event his
connection with that school will likely cease.
A! graduate Of last year is also reported to have
been summoned to appear before the faculty.
The seminary authorities, knowing what
Princeton suffered on account of the Inn, have
resigned themselves to long-continued public
ity. They expect every Prcsbytery which in
future may send students to the seminary to
