MAN A HERO
RESCUED EIGHT WOMEN FROM
BURNING BUILDING AT RISK
OF HIS OWN LIFE.

New York, Jan. 12.-Blinded and
choked by smoke by fire in the eel
lar, Abraham Geber, an elevator man
in a Broadway office building, ran
his car three times from the street
to the eighth floor early to-day, res
cuing eight scrub women who had be-
come panic-stricken. AS the elevator
reached the ground floor for the third
time Geber staggered into Broadway
nearly stified by the smoke and was
with difficulty revived.
The actual money loss was small,
the fire being confined to the base
ment. Numerous volumes Of records
and manifests belonging to the South
ern Pacific company, which occupied
the street floor, were destroyed.

Delegate in Congress.
The committee says the universal
opinion among all classes is that
Alaska should be represented by a
delegate in congress.
In a number Of sections of Alaska
the committee encountered agitation
for the establishment of territorial
government and the election of an
assembly. This is not recommended
by the committee, however, as from
the best data obtained the committee
believes the permanent white popula-
ton Of Alaska to-day will not exceed
10000. The necessity of rendering
some support to the native population
is felt by the committee, which says
of these EsquimO and Indians:
Hunters by nature and habit and able
and willing before the influx Of the
whites. to care for themselves, they are,
thru the game laws, wholly deprived OF
their chief means of maintenance. Why
they should be deprived, of their imme-
mortal right to hunt at will passes the
comprehension of the committee. The
first measure for the relief Of the natives,
particularly the Eskimos and Aleuts,
should be the absolute repeal Of the game
laws insofar as their provisions prohibit
hunting and trapping by aboriglnes and
natives and the sale Of skins so taken.
The deplorable condition of these classes
is such as to demand other and further
relief at the hands Of congress.
The business of Alaska is carried on by
citizens of the United States It is claimed
by them to now be a white mans coun
try" To all intents and purposes, such
Is the fact. In every contest for gain, the

doors. Justice and humanity alike demand
legislation for their relief.
