WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10.- The postoffice department by issuing an order at the behest of the capitalists and bankers of New York, eliminating all weight. restrictions on first-class mail matter addressed to foreign coun- tries when domestic rates do not apply, lays itself open to criticism of discrim- ating against Alaska.
 Last winter an effort was made to in duce the department to waive weight restrictions on first-class mail in pack ages weighing more than four pounds, but this privilge was denied.
 The shippers represented through con gressman that they were at the mercy of the transportation companies, which were charging exorbitant rates to bring gold to the states and they therefore sought the priviige of shipping by mail.
 The department then held it could not amend it's regulations. Now, however, it changes the regulation in order that New York capitalists may more con- veniently ship their securities abroad.

 Many others of the victims are filing informations at the office of the district attorney H. o. Proebstel claims the pair obtained his money in Oregon, so a warrant could not be issued in Proeb- ateps case
 But where are the prophets and pro- motors? That is question which no one in Nome can answer. Not even Judge Moore or Clerk of the Court Bor- chsenius, or Judge Merritt, of Midas prec met" The last seen of them was 40 miles up the Koyukuk. No doubt they are now safe in British territory The offense charged is extraditable and if found they can be returned to Nome.
