To Relieve the Strain
On Rennessey & Go.
TANANA, March 9, 1910.


Dear Mr.. Editor:-Permit the writer
through the columns of your esteemed
paper to relieve the horrible strain of
mind which "Hennessey and his pa
triotic friend" are evidently passing
through, judging from the communities
tion which appeared in your last issue.
Kindly assure them that the Gallant
Secretary of the Young Mems Come
and Go Society,"" referred to in their
communication, has no thought of
evading the road-tax collector. On
the contrary, the payment of road
taxes is one OF the privileges of citi-
zenship. For fear that the collector
should delay his coming until after
the Gallant Secretary" finds it nee
essary to visit other parts of this ter
ritory, resulting, perhaps, in such
event, in Hennessey and his friend
being stricken down with q severe
case OF "road-tax-itis, he would be
glad to deposit same with the author
lied collector prior to his departure.
1t might further relieve the minds
of our 'patriotic and disappointed citi-
zens" to know that the road-tax col
lector has not been in habit of over
looking the representative of the
Come and Go" society, as the receipts
he carries serve to testify, though in
the twelve years in which he has been
proud to claim citizenship in Alaska
he has seen many of the Hennessey
type come and go without interesting
themselves in the payment of road
taxes.
Hennessey's friend made q slight
mistake in the name of the organiza-
tion mentioned in his letter: instead of
THE Young Mems Come and Go So
ciety" the writer begs to subscribe
himself, W. A. REID,
Secretary of the young Mems
Come to Stay Society,""

one third or even one sixth of that
number had quit work. They had
said that the big power plants at the
Rapid Transit company would close
down, and that the city would find it.
self without street cars. More than
go per cent of the shops and factor
les are running as usual and the pow
Ter plants are sull in operation.
The men who are leading the strike
are still talking brayely. They say
that more than 100000 workers have
remained loyal to the unions, that at
least one branch of the city's indus
try-the textile branch-has been
paralyzed; that dozens of the mills in
Kensington have closed their doors
and that most OF the others are run
ming with a badly crippled force and
cannot hold out many more days But
they base their figures on the reports
brought TO them by their lieutenants
in the smaller unions and not by ac-
tual canvass of the city.
The city officials and the employers
themselves have a different story to
tell Director OF Public Safety Clay
says that he and his men had made
a thorough canvass of employers and
that out of 1913 men and women

questioned only 1S,407 employees have

PEARY DECLINES TO
SUBMIT PROOF
TO CONGRESS
Contract With Publishers Will
Not Permit II
BE BREACH OF FAITH
Three Members Of Naval Committee
Insist That Documents Be Made
Public

Washington, March Commander
Peary has declined to submit to Con
gress the proofs of his discovery of
the North Pole He sent in care of
Representative AlexanderofN New York
Yesterday a statement written in the
third person and addressed to the
subcommittee of the House commit
tee on naval affairs, in which he set
forth his reasons for refusing TO send
his data to the committee. The
statement follows:
Commander Peary and his friends
say that contracts signed months ago
with his publishers render it impos
sible to make his records and scien-
tifc data public now. 1t would not
only subject Peary to heavy damages
IA loss which he cannot meet, hay-
ing just eXtricated himself from debt
incurred in connection with his var
ious eXpeditiOns--but it would be
breaking faith with his publishers,
which he is unwilling to do under any
circumstances
After hearing statements by Repre-
sentatiyes Hobson of Alabama and
| Moore Of Pennsylvania, urging the
granting Of congressional reward to
Peary irrespective of the question of
his proofs, the committee adjourned
until Wednesday without taking any
action.
OF the committee of seven mem
bers. it is known that three are OPP
posed to granting recognition to Com
mander Peary unless his proofs are
submitted to Congress and made pub
/ lie. These are Representatives Rob
erts, Butler and Macon. Representa-
tives Bates, Dawson and Gregg have
not committed themselves and Rep
