NOT REQUIRED
Outcome OF Proceedings
Against Them.

Washington, Oct. 2l.-Alaskan coal
claimants are not required TO pay the
purchase price of their claims until
after the termination or any protests
or adverse proceedings against them,
according to an opinion by Attorney
General Wickersham. made public to-
day by the department OF the interior.
As a large number OF Alaskan coal
claims We're suspended because pro-
tests were filed against them by the
interior department, the question arose
whether the claimants should pay the
purchase price OF their claims while
proceedings were pending against
them.
In an exhaustive review or the sub
ject, the attorney general decided that
under the Alaskan coal land law and
under the regulations approved in 1904
and 1907, payment is not required un-
til after the termination OF such pro-
ceedings.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
Former County Engineer Drum has
made some startling revelations of
bribery of the lowest and meanest
sort against the Board of Freeholders.
1t seems to me that this is a mere
specimen of the conditions which really
exist. Some time ago one of the doc
tors at the Overbrook asylum had
some controversy with the hospital
committee, in which he stated to the
public that he was being used as a
tool, and because he would not do GER
tain things for them they a become
hostile toward him. He told them very
plainly at one of their meetings what
he thought of them, and said that when
the proper time anne he would talk.
The hospital committee at that time
showed it's attitude toward him by re-
fusing to raise his salary, and several
of the members requested him to re-
sign. 1t would seem now as though

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
You ave fought we'll, and the people
have made a loud and strong appeal
against advancing rates of tickets on
the railroads of New Jersey, but what
does it avail? Already the roads are
issuing the tickets and demanding the
advanced fare.
Now, Mr.. Editor, have the people
used the right weapons? We must
fight bears with clubs. Retaliation is a
mean measure, but the great Roose-
welt is for fight, If necessary, and we
are spending immense amounts now
for warships to defeat our enemies.
The people have plenty of chances
to enforce justice. Will they use them
now?

1t? I think it is a great big imposi-
