SALARY NEXT TO PRESIDENT.
Clerk of an Alaskan Court Gets
S25,OOO Year by BIunder.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Washington, March 7-Albert D. Elliott,
clerk of the District Court of Alaska, holds
the best paid office under the United
States government. with the exception of
the President, and 1t all happened through
a blunder. In salary and fees he receives
$3.50 a year.
Under the new Alaska bill proposed by
Mr.. Carter and passed by the Senate the
clerks salary and fees together were linn
ited to 1920 a year. In conference this
section, among others. was unwittingly
changed, with the result that the clerk
receives s. for every license issued. As
the new law requires a license for the
transaction Of any kind of business in the
Territory, his fees alone will easily reach
over $4,000.

Herr Rose then relates how he rode

Hotel in order, like many whites, 10 watch
events, and how, on his way there he
had TO pass a body of Mataafans, to
whom, however, he did not speak Short
~ after o'clock the German consul con-
tinues he rode with Lieut.. Frielinghaus
| of the German warship Falk to Songi and
home again. Thus, the consul concludes.
Mr. Chambers accusation that he rode
at the head of troop of Mataafans at
4:3O, when they attacked the Tivoli Hotel
is pure invention" as proved by the
| written testimony of Lieut.. Freilinghaus
| The consul adds that the first two shots
were fired by Malietoans.
Recounting the establishment of she pro-
/ visional government, Herr Rose says DR..
Raffei lthe German president of the mu-
nicipal government at Apia) by his activ-
| ity soon won universal approval, and
| quotes the thanks received from the Brit
| ish consul and the captain of the Por-
poise Thus, the consul continues, the pro-
| visional government was already an ac-
| complished fact on Jan. 3.
| Relating the attitude of the warships
the consul says DIR. Raffel took measures
for the protection of the British mission,
and he concludes with declaring that Ma
taafa did not take part In the fighting.
| Moreover, he points out. he was recog-
nized on the English side BY letter pub
iished in the Apia newspapers

They Praised DR.. RaHeI.

Mr.. Rose continues: when, after con-
sultation with the three consuls and DR.
Raffel, the commanders of the two war
ships declined to establish provisional
government with DR. Raffel as the head
executive, Capt Sturdee and Mr.. Maxse
were so impressed with the great services
rendered to the English by the guard az
the mission on Jan. 3, through the ener-
getic hntervention of DIR. Raffel that they
oVerYheln ed him with praise, and were
ready to meet his views in every way.
Owing to urgent official business upon
which DR.. Raffel was engaged, his sigma
ture to the proclamation relating
to the provisional government was
postponed until Jan. a. When DR.. Raffel,
on Jan. a, in accordance with the arrange
ments submitted the draft, Mr.. Makes,
who admitted that he had changed his
opinion, demanded the insertion of
clause relating to the general act of the
Berlin treaty
AT the suggestion of Mr.. Osborne the
clause was formulated as follows, By no
provision of the proclamation shall the
rights and privileges of the treaty powers
representatives be changed or suspended.
Thereupon arose remarks. In my opinion
1t was distortion of the sense of these
words to assert that Mr.. Chambers oppo-
sition, by virtue of the proclamation, re-
