CONCESSIONS
CAUSE KICK
Secretary Root May Have EX'
Ceeded His Authority.
AN INQUIRY IS SET ON FOOT
Senator Turner Charges That
Gold Property In Alaska Has
Been illegally Coded.

Upon the authority Of the governor
of Alaska, Mr.. Turner, senator from
the state Of Washington, made the
statement 10 the senate Wednesday
that concessions for gold mining in
the bed Of the sea near Cape Nome,
Alaska, had been granted by the sec
rotary of war, and upon that statement
he based a resolution of inquiry.
Senator Turner said il such a grant
had been made it was "a shame, a re-
proach and a scandal"
Mr.. Turner's resolution directed the
secretary of war to inform the senate
whether any concessions to excavate
the goldbearing bed of the sea in the
vicinity of Cape Nome, Alaska, or in
other Alaskan waters have been made
to any individual or corporation or as.
ISOLATION by the secretary of war or
any other war department official. and
if so, upon what theory such grant was
made.
"The secretary of war;" said Mr..
Turner, ''has jurisdiction over the
navigable waters in the rivers and
harbors of the United States and at
various times has given to private in
dividuals authority to excavate the
bed of such waters for proper pur-
poses. Now if this authority has been
stretched to cover such a concession
as that mentioned in the resolution it
is shame, a reproach and a scandal. "
Mr.. Wolcott, of Colorado, said that
in view of this extraordinary state
ment the secretary of war would be
anxious to answer any proper inquiry
touching it. If such a concession haC
been granted it was clearly violation
of the law.
Mr.. Garter said it certainly SeulC
not be in contemplation of the score
tary of war to give mining leassr
without a semblance of law. ST thinl
the resolution should be adopted,
said Mr.. Carter, "as I'm satisfied tn,
response will show the secretary hat
not arrogated to himself such power.
The resolutions were agreed to.

CONFLICTING TESTIMONY
Given Before the Industrial Commission
at Its Session In Atlanta.

Given Before the Industrial Commission
at It's Session In Atlanta.
Conflicting testimony has been given
to the United States industrial COM
mission as to the condition of the mill
operatives in Atlanta and the wages
they receive.
Three witnesses representing labor
organizations, told the commissioners
that the condition of the mill opera
tives was deplorable. Their evidence
was that the conditions at the Fulton
Bag and Cotton Mills were especially
bad.
Mr.. Oscar Elsas, representing the
Fulton mills, denied that his employees
were mistreated or were paid starva-
ton wages.
The foreman of q Macon newspaper,
L. J. Kilburn, was also witness be-
fore the commission. He said that
since he had been at work, labor in
the south had been organized He
believed moral and financial benefits
had been derived from organization.
He discussed the labor unions in Ma
con, telling of the wage scales and the
rules that prevailed.
Incompetent workmen are not adj
mitted to our unions" he said. owe
have to keep them out because We
want to guarantee to the employer. of
union labor that he will get the value
of his money"
''Then it is in the power of the
union to prevent men from working at
given trade" said Mr.. Smyth.
''We do not go that far, but we pre-
vent non-union men from working in
union shops"
Kilburn explained the system of
apprentices, saying that in the Typo
graphical union one apprentice was
allowed to every seven printers or
fraction thereof
"Suppose an employer had a son
whom he wanted to learn the trade
and there were no apprentice places
vacant?' suggested Senator Kyle.
"The employers son would be
turned down." replied Mr.. Kilburn,
''iust like anybody else. I had a case
few days ago where an employer
wanted his son to learn to operate 8
Mergenthaler machine. There was nc
vacancy and had to turn him down. .
Senator Kyle asked if the laborers
we're not operating a gigantic trust
Mr.. Kilburn said they simply had {
large organization. He did not con
slider it trust.
The senator said it occurred to hin
that the labor unions were putting
themselves on the same plane witt
the big corporations Of the country.

To Re Exhibited at Paris Exposition Sue
Cessfully Cast at New York.
The gold statue of the American
Girl" which is to be exhibited at the
Paris exposition, was successfully cast
at New York Wednesday.
Miss Maude Adams, the actress, was
the model, and Mrs. Bessie Potter was
the sculptor. The statue mounted on
its base will be six feet in height, the
figure being of Miss Adams own
height. It weighs 712 pounds and the
bullion used is valued at $187, 900.
Miss Adams gown was of the sim
plest sort. It is a summer dress of
chiffon, lace ruflles extend its length,
and gathered at the waist they give q
kind of blouse effect at the bottom.
The sleeves are tight from shoulder
to wrist. The arms droop to full
length on both sides. The hair waves
back from the forehead and is parted
slightly to the left. The pose is that
of taking a step forward, denoting
progress.

"hENACE TO AMERICA"
Sulzer Charges That England Is
Fortifying Against On the
Canadian Frontier.

Canadian Frontier.
A Washington special says: In the
house Of ropresen tative Congressman
Sulzer denounced the administration
for its pro-British policy in the most
scathing terms. He spoke on his res
olution making inquiry about the for
tifcations being erected by Great
Britain on the Canadian border, which
resolution had been turned down by
the Republican committee.
Mr.. Suzer said his resolution only
called for such information not incom-
patible with the public interest, not
for secret information. The adjutant
generals report, he said, is preposter-
GUS and untenable and it is ridiculous
for him to say Great Britain is not
trespassing on our territory, no one
contends that. What we do declare
and what every thinking and intelh-
gent citizen of this country knows is,
that while Great Britain is pretending
to be our friend she is sedulously and
studiously and consistently erecting
great Notifications on our northern
frontier which menace the integrity of
the republic and which on notice of
twenty-four hours could destroy our
cities, our towns, and lay waste the
property of our people. 1t seems to
me that today the administration is
being humbugged by the administra-
ton of Great Britain.
ST say that on this resolution want
to get the sense of this house and fud
out who are the friends of America
and who are friends of Great Britain.
We ought to have this information.
There is feeling all over this country
that the administration has absolutely
and abjectly surrendered American
rights to British enterests. 1t has
done so in Alaska, it has done 80 in
regard to the Nicaragua canal, it is
doing so now in the orient, in the
Philippines, in China.
1.-THE administration here is more
English than the administration in
London, aud it is time for some one to
stand up here and talk for American
rights against British interests. "
loud applause on the Democratic
side.) The resolution was finally laid
upon the table, 10 to 81.
The resolution of Mr.. Sulzer was as
follows:
''Resolved, That the secretary Of
war is hereby directed to inform the
house of representatives as early as
possible what Notifications Great Bril-
tain is erecting, constructing and com
plotting on the northern frontier of the
United States, especially at Puget
Sound and other places on the Pacific
ocean, contiguous to the state Of
Washington and District of Alaska"
The resolution had been previously
referred to the committee and came
back with the following endorsement
"The information that the depart
ment possesses on this subject has al
ways been held to be confidential, anC
for good and sufficient reasons has no
been made public.
cit is remarked, however, that Grea
Britain, so far as the department il
informed, is in no instance erecting
Notifications trespassing on our rights
