FLAGS ON LIE CAPITOL.
What 10 Means When They Arc Fly
 ing nt Half Maat

what It Means When They Arc Fly-
 ing at Half Mast.
 The flying of flags over the capitol at half mast Is regulated by the strlctest rules. Whenever these flags are seen floating half way down the mast it is a sure indication that a vice president, senator or representative is lying dead or that the action Is taken in response to a presidential proclamation ordering the flags on public buildings at half mast i'm respect to the memory of some prominent official Of the government who has passed away.
 When thc sergeant at arms of the senate or house of representatives learns of the death of a member of either Of those bodies, he at once orders that the dugs over the. senate chamber or hall of representatives be half masted. This is often done before the houses of congress themselves are officially notified of the death. A good deal of discretion is exercised fin the manner or placing the news of a death of this kind officially before the senate or the house. Upon such an announce ment it Is customary for the houses to adjourn lu respect to the deceased sen ator or representative and in order that Che current business may not be stopped early in thc day the announce mcnt is generally made just before the houses are ready to conclude their days work.
 officers of tho senate and house when they fly the flags at half mast in response to a proclamation by the pres ident regard their action as one of courtesy. as they do not recognize the power of the president Co order con- gress to do anything except to assem- blc in, extraordinary session. They have always responded to the requests of.such pr.clamatons. It would be a nice question, fl one could imagine that 1t could ever be raised, to know to what extent the presidents authority would allow him to order flags at half mast Ou the capitol While his author ity would not extend over the em- ployccs of the senate and house, yet the capitol itself for many years was in fact controlled exclusively by him SO far as the care of the building is concerned. and the superintendent of the building Is today appointed by him without confrmatory action on the part of the senate.
 As matter of fact, the capitol has for years been under the direct control of the committees on appropriations of the two houses of congress, but that control has been accorded them by the failure of the president to give any or. ders Co Che architect or more lately to tho superintendent of the capitol. If he should order that official to fly flags over the capitol at half mast and the order should be disobeyed, he would have power to dismiss him and appoint some one else in his place without the concurrence of either branch of con- grcss. except SO far as the appropria. tion for Che officials salary would bo involved. These are practically moot questions. but they occasionally form interesting subjects for hreside talks when flags are half masted in response to presidential proclamatlons.-Wash- ingtQn Star.

BOGUS STOCK

John Morris, of New York, representing German capitalists Is on his way to Valdez. Re slld Co P,-l. reporter. "l am sent North by German capitalists for the purpose of looking over the country about Valdez. The people lrepTeseni are not interested ln that section Of the North at present but may be late on. Much will depend oh the report m Ike.
 'ln the East we are not taking Abska propositions without lnvestig gitIng them, For the first few yslrs of the Al ska rush lt was possible to sell almost anything Alaskan In New York, and everything brought good price, This spirit was taken advantage of, and would slv that New York capitalists hold more AllSka stock of different kinds that Is not worth more than the paper on which lis written, than of anything else,
 "Eastsrn capital has been token ln by Alaska sharks, and while there Is plenty of money ln the Est ready to dsIelope anything legitimate there Is In Alaska. Its worth, from this time on, will have to be shown up before hev will Invest.

next campaign is evident from the
number Of names mentioned in eonnes-
tion With the position and other
things which show that the crop will
be a good one. says Senator Weaver,
of Sebastian writing TO his paper, the
Fort Smith Elevator. Mr.. Weaver
mentions various aspirants, as fol
lows:
Among these mentioned for the Pc
sition. and who there is good reason To
believe will throw his beaver into the
ring, is Hon. NJ. J. Manning, OF Clar.
endon. Mr.. Manning has served in
both house and senate. at one session
being president OF the latter body.
Judge John |. Moore. speaker OF
tie present house of representatives.
is also another man prominently mem
tion in connection With the position.
He possesses, to an eminent degree.
all that is required in one Who as
pires to this exalted position.
at is also rumared that a boom is
in process OF incubation for Senator
Norw0Gl Of Polk county. Mr.. Nor
wood is one of the senate's most
youthful members. but he has plenty
of gray matter under his scalp and is
known as a red hot campaigner.
Your correspondent has already
spoken OF the rumor that Hon. B. B.
Hudeins. OF Boone. might possibly en-
ter the race for governor. II is also
whispered among the knowing ones
that the present incumbent would net
be adverse to making another race.
and il is known that Attorney General
Murphy has already announced his
intention Of going into the field. These
gent!em en-. with Others that are bound
to Gene, would make things interest.
ing"
In addition TO those mentioned by
Nj. Weaver there is Governor DAVIS,
who has given it cut that he would
like to have another term. and, in
fact. it is reported that he has asked
several of bis friends as to what they
thought of his Offering for third
term. EXPRESSING the opiuion that he
believes lie can defeat al ccme.s.
Mr.. Weaver also overlooks ex-Con,
