They claimed that as the .vumbia

trust company law. the double liza.
bility statute did not apply to II, and
that contention was sustained by
Judge J. 7. Johnson In the trial of
the case.

suits that the difference between the
assets and liabilities of the bank
Is far In excess of the capital stock
OF the company, 100000, on the

flame. Alaska is at the breaking
point. The people either will raise
flag. declare their independence and
defy any army the United States may
send against them. or will go over to
Canada. root, branch and ALL"
Such was the declaration Of Wash
ington B. vanderlip Of New York.
Vanderbilt is not an applicant for
coal claim, and he does not own a
pound OF coal and is not seeking any.
Vanderlip is en- route to the Tanana
valley. He is a mining engineer.
member of the Institute OF Mining En-
gineers. fellow of the Royal Geogra-
phical society of London. and cous-
In OF F. A. vanderlip of the National
City bank OF New York.
Vanderlip pointed to the Cordova in
cident as proving the state of mind OF
the people against the government
At Cordova. not many weeks ago. the
residents dumped cargo OF coal from
the wharf into the sea.
He declared that the United States
government had harassed, robbed.
cheated, plundered. or allowed to
be plundered the people OF the
territory. They are forced to pay ex-
orbitant prices for their coal. he said.
when there are billions of tons OF coal
beneath their very feet. even pound
of which they were prohibited from
touching. but must buy Canadian coal.
vanderllp narrated now justice. in
fnnumerable instances. had been de-
MED the people of Alaska through
many years. He declared that monop-
oily had gained rights and powers. eth
er through chicanery, bribery or other
illegal means. and that the people OF
the territory, in every instance. had
been forced to hold the bag" see
their lands gobbled up by big busi-
ness" or themselves prevented from
enjoying either the fruits Of the citi-
xenship or Of their labors. He added:
THE menacing spirit of unrest and
even revolution is smoldering. and
soon will burst into consuming flame
that will sweep over the territory.
The men OF that land are those who
are accustomed to fighting.
They have conquered the snow. the
ice, the cold. the mountains and the
ice-bound streams. They have fought
the elements. Theye have fought for
the gold and other mineral wealth be-
meath the frozen earth. They are
fighters, and their fighting spirit has
been aroused by the alleged injustice
done to them.
THAT they will rise against the gov
ernment or make overtures to Canada
in the hope OF being justly treated 1
have not the slightest doubt.
1T seems strange and even uncan-
ny that a territory OF the United
States would rise against the govern
mcnt, and for alleged injustice in the
manner in which that territory Is be-
ing governed. but / am convinced the
United States Government will have =
war on its hands, both to Its own
shame and to the unenviable light in
which 1t will be placed before the eyes
of the world, If the unjust conditions
in Alaska are not alleviated."
