Pure Food Legislation.

Pure food legislation was briefly discussed
by the President this morning with a dele
cation OF business men from Gloucester.
Mass, who are Interested in the fishing
business. Practically all of the New Eng
land fishermen favor the Rodenberg bill.
and the Gloucester men told the President
so this morning.
In the delegation. which was introduced
10 the President by Representative Gard
ner, We're I. J. Carroll. president of the
Gloucester board of trade; w +. Moore,
secretary of the Gloucester fisheries com
mittee. and Benjamin A Smith of the firm
of 7. b. Smith * Co. one of the largest
fishing concerns on the New England coast
They favor the Rodenberg bill in pref
'erence TO any of the other bills now pend
ing because II specifically mentions the
percentage of preservatives which may be
used. On long fishing cruise It is neces-
sary TO keep the fish fresh by the use of
certain personalities. All of the other
pure food bills except the Rodenburg bill
according TO the Gloucester men, are too
vague IN fixing the percentage of preserva-
tives which may be used
Executive Offices Closed.

row and the President will not receive any

business OF unusual Importance he may

PHI Jarvis. formerly lieutenant in the
revenue cutter service, has been offered the
position of governor of Alaska, to succeed
Governor Brady. who has resigned. No
word has been received from Mr.. Jarvis,
whose acceptance of the position Is
garded as doubtful, by reason of important
business connections in the territory he may
not care to sever. The governorship of the
territory, like every other federal office
there, entails spirit of ennlity from power
IL interests which may be refused conces-
sions they ask for and jealousy of those
who more successful. This leads to
charges and ins!nuations which give so
much trouble and annoyance as to make it
undesirable for a man to take place of
any kind. Mir. Jarvis is universally re-
spected. and would, the President believes.
come nearer to meeting the wishes of
Alaskans generally than any other of the
candidates now in the field.
Ihe other candidates for the governOrship
are w. I. Perkins of Seattle and Nome.

not take effect until the appointment and
qualification of his successor. There is Ii
movement on foot to increase the powers
OF the Alaska governorship. Under the
present law the governorship is little more
than a name, but it is proposed to transfer
some of the important executive functions
now devolving upon the federal judges IN
