SEATTLE. Oct. $. - Alaska the despised step-child is at last to come into it's own. From a position Of abject neglect it is suddenly swung into the limelight and at snce casts a shadow more porten- tious than that of half dozen of he smaller states
 This, by the way. is owing to the political importance to which it has grown in the sequence of events during the present administration. Alaska is now eXerting more politi- cal influence. one writer boldly says, than some of the important states of the union. and is in a position to sway the trend of the coming presi- dential electiCn. Every phase of Alaska misgovernment now takes such big significance in the public mind that columns are given to it daily in the press all over the coun- try.
 Last night Washington. D. C., correspondent sent broadcast story of the Alaska controversy involving

 PiChot and his lieutenants were overheard plotting all this at Chiti- ma by F.. F. Gray. a big Copper Mountain miner. who slept in the next room. Washington politicians expect PinChot to come Outside and launch a savage campaign against against Taft. using Alaska as his bludge on.
 Delegate Wickersham' fate is an interesting speculation With Pin Chot, he will meet with hard fight ing in the convention; without he will have almost as much opposition, and the Pinchot organization added, which is also against him.
 Dan Jonas, who just arrived. in an interview after learning the sit uation expressed delight and says the territory is certainly al last to receive llts of attention and to get il quickly for all parties must per form real service 10 establish them selves as prO-Alaskan advocates.

TELLS OF FRAUD IN
 BILLS OF LAD|NG

Aberdeen, Miss, April 7.-F. Van Ger
 pen, foreign exchange broker of New
 York, tells of a part he unwittins-
 ly played in the alleged irregular trans
 actions of the bankrupt cotton firm of
 Steele Miller & Co. Members of the firm are on trial in United States dis
 trict court charged with the issuance and circulation through the mails of
 bogus bills of ladings to the extent of several millions of dollars. Van Gerpen,
 as agent of the concern. would receive the apparently regular bills of ladings with drafts and insurance papers and dispose of the paper to New York banks Personally, he testified, he had railroad receipt, declared to be forgery, for 200 bales of cotton. In this instance he was advised by the railroad company that
 the cotton actually existed, but another bill of ladng had been issued for the shipment and delivery made.
 l.. c. Steele, one of the defendants, and J. L. Schmedes an employe of tho firm,
 were other witnesses today. Steele ex- plained that 1t was part of his duty to | receive bills of ladings. He would sort | the genuine from the bogus, he declared, and turn the latter over to J. H. Miller,
 his partner.
 1 Steele completed a link in the govern
 ments charge by declaring that the 1 United States mails were used to convey the irregular paper to Van Gerpen. He denied, however that he mailed the bills
 of lading, explaining that the duty vas assigned principally to a clerk and to | John H. Mcknight, another member of the firm. Documentary evidence, which he said was taken from Miller's desk,
 was also presented by Steele. Schmedes | identified shipping books.
 1 The hearing will be resumed tomorrow.
