CHARGES PREFERRED
 AGAINST SEARLES
Young Revenue Officer Taken to Task fer Rash Words
 About Alaska.

Secretary Shaw, of the United States treasury department, on Jan. 6 received formal charges by the Seattle Alaska Club against Lieut.. H. K. Searles. of the revenue cutter service, for publishing all interview ill newspaper at Oshk osh. Wis, where he spent his December fur tough with his parents, reflccting against Alaska and its people. The following facts about the affair are gained from the Seattle Times. In connection with the figures given therein 1t Is we'll to remember that they a:e probably intended to in clude Yukon Territory:
 The charges referred to are the result of an interview which Lieut.. Searles of the revenue cutter Thetis gave out to the Daily Northwestern dt OouNoSu' NuSiS HC NdS SPCuu- ing tue Christmas holidays. In the interview the lieutenant said:
 The bleak and dreary Alaska stands out i'll sharp contrast to the rosy coloring given the land of gold by transportation companies, whose aim it is to get men to go to that country Alaska is at best only dreary. de solate, mountainous will derness, peopled by starving, ignorant, superstitious, filthy and rapidly disap- bearing people. Outside of the gold mining in southeastern Alaska there is little to recommend the country as a human habitation. not even agricultural possibilities, notwithstanding glowing reports to the contrary, which appear to be the dying gasp of interested promoters.
 A man signing himself An Alaskan sent clipping of the in terview to the Alaska Club ill Se- attle, and William NJ Sheffield, the secretary of the club, sent nice letter to tEe editor of the Daily Northwestern, which printed the story, pointing out where Oshkosh $ iavorite son did not know " hat he was talking about when he slan- dered Alaska and the 60 .oOo hardy white men and women, who come from every state in the Union and from almost every country on the earth, who believe that Alaska is one of the richest possessions oi the United States. and who are happy in that belief
 Secretary Sheffield touched the high places only when he mentioned the luxuriant growth ol wild hay. eight feet high. in the Tanana val ley: the warm summers along the Yukon and Panama. rivaling even the summers of Oshkosh. and sur- passing Wisconsin in abundance of vegetation. He iahs the inquiry ''Tsp you know there are fifty seven varieties ol wild flowers in the VI.

PATCHING UP TORN CHECKS
Found in Alleged PoolroOm-Capt. Cottreil
scents Prominent NameS-Two Raids.

Capt. Cottrell and five of his plain clothes
men raided two alleged poolrooms at 1904
and 1870 Broadway yesterday. The first
of these was a small affair the second had
points Of difference.
The captain had been tipped to the signal
at this place. There was a door OF frosted
glass. He who would play within was
instructed to lay his hand with the fingers
outspread, on the frosted glass. The cap
tain gave this signal and was admitted.
He thought at first that he had made
a mistake. A big shock Of corn stood in
the corner, and all around the wall were
bushel baskets full Of potatoes and turnlps
and carrots and wheat. In a oonspicu Gus
place on the wall was a sign which read;
Produce Exchange"
There we're. however, a blackboard and
n set Of racing sheets. 50 Cottrel pulled
the house.
One Alfred W. Atkins suffered himself to
be arrested as proprietor. He said that
he vas a farmer. The fifteen men in the
place we're allowed TO 90. They took the
We getabes home TO dinner with the IN.
Capt. Cottrell says that this mas been a
pooroom of large dealings. II has been
open TO bets as high as 500. and when one
entry was played too heavily it farmed
the money out among other establishments,
with which it was connected by telephone.
The place at 1904 Broadway yielded five
men charged with aiding and abetting a
poolroom, and John Small whom the cops
called proprietor. When the police broke
in Small grabbed a pile of cancelled checks
and began tearing them up Cottrell Sc

PLEADS FOR YALE DEMOCRACY.
Pref. naot says High Priced Dormltories
on the CAMPUS Is Inluring II.

NEW HAVEN, March 1i.--Dr. Robert X.
Root Of the Yale faculty used strong lam
guage to-day in the Yale Neirs in condemna-
ton Of the private dormitory system and
the alleged cliquesm which. he says. pre-
walls in these outside dormtories He said
that T. graduates of Yale who still cling
desperately to whatever vestges are left
of the old time democracy OF the institution
the present tendency Of large part OF the
sophomore class to segregate Itself In u
dormitory off the campus is regrettable.
DR.. Root referred to what is known as
the Hutchinson dormitory at College and
Crown streets. The students who live In
this dormitory are regarded by the rest oil
the college as swell crowd Of Yale men
Many of the leading athletes of the uni
versity have lived in the Hutch" as 1t ia
called by the students. He charged that
because of the high prices Of rooms in this
so-called sophomore district the system
brings about cleavage in the class itself
between those who have large means or
those who are willing to live beyond their
means.
Prof. Root said that every man who
values the Yale spirit above his own bodily
comfort and even above his selfish desire
for social prestige should decide TO get a
room on the campus. 1t ia his judgment
that once the fashion is set by the men of
real character among the students of getting
rooms on the campus the rest OF the students
will al. follow and Yale democracy will
once more have chance TO live.

Boats Blown About by the Wind at

Special to The Evening Journal.
Delaware City, Dec. 12-The heavy
northwest wind Of Sunday caused
much trouble and loss Of time to the
shipping going into the canal at this
point. The tug "Escherick" Of Phila-
.delphia, towing five barges, tried to
ENTER the lock, but the wind and tide
were too strong and carried the barges
and tug down near to Fort DUPONT
pier. and it was thought for awhile
that the barges would crash into the
dredge Dewey" which is tied up at the
pier but by dropping all the anchors
the collision was averted by a narrow
margin. The tug was compelled 10
bring the barges up to the docks one
at a time, and had a long hard fight
in getting them here at all.
One OF the Ericsson Line steamers
being towed down by the tug New
Castle" was carried down below Fort
DUPONT, and the tug was several hours
lin getting the steamer back to the land
