Make. Plea for Alaska.

Seattle, Wash.-"I think 1t is unfor
tunate that powers SO limited have
been granted the new Alaska lesisla.
ture, that laws to meet our needs csn.
not be passed." said Gov. Walter e.
Clark of Alaska, who, accompanied BY
his wife. arrived here today on the
revenue cutter McCulloch from St
Michael
ITO develop any country, the frs,
things needed are means of transpor
tation and communication and for this
reason / expect more from the newly
created Alaska railroad commission
than from our legislature, although
the commission is powerless to dc
anything but recommend to congress
The big problems in Alaska today are
railroads, coal. lumber and the fish
industry. but our new legislature will
have no power to legislate on any OF
these subjects. 1t will not have ns
great power in Alaska as a council has
in city of 10000 people in the Unit
ed States"

HIS TRUST is IN THE BIBLE
Kaiser Declares He Solves All Cues
tions, Even Of Political Ma
ture, by the Scriptures.

Paris, France.-Rene Puaux, the
military expert of the Temps, who
was in close contact with the German
of the Swiss army. quotes the emperor
as summing up his satisfaction with
the work of the troops in conversa-
tion with President Forrer in the
words:
Your army saves me six army
corps"
The emperor in conversation con-
stantly insisted upon the necessity Of
understandings as the best means of
dissipating suspicion, and declared his
personal desire to maintain peace. On
one occasion. in emphasizing this in
conversation with President Forrer,
the emperor intimated to the president
that he acquired, much Of his inspira-
ton from the bible.
Il don't care much for priests and
clergymen," said the emperor They
dilute the gospel with too much of
their own dogma. l hold to the bible,
which I constantly read and reread.
In 1t one find the solution of every
difficulty. OF every problem. even of a
political description"
1t is known that the emperor's main
object in attending the maneuvers
was to convince himself of the ability
of the Swiss army to make the neu-
trality of the country respected in
case of war, and his remark is inter
preted to mean that by the Swiss army
forming a screen to prevent the
French from invading Germany
through Switzerland. the Germans
could release six army corps in south
Germany for service in Aisace-Lor-
raine or along the Belgian frontier.

Mexico City.-Ignoring the usual
channels of diplomatic intercourse. the
American Ambassador, Henry Lane
Wilson. has made a peremptory de
mand on Governor Matias Guerrero
of the state of Tamaulipas for the i'm
mediate release from the jail at Tam
pico of w. C. Nichols, an American
fruit grower.
Nichols was arrested six months
ago on charge of having killed a
bandit Caballos, whose apprehension
the authorities had attempted for
many months.
The embassy was authorized by the
administration at Washington to EN-
ploy whatever means were considered
necessary to bring about an ameliora
ton of Nichols condition. Ambassa.
dor Wilson declares he will secure his
release even II it should become neces-
sary to land men from the United
States cruiser Des Moines, which ia
now In port at Tampico with $50 ma.
rines aboard.
The American ambassador regards
the treatment accorded Nichols by the
Mexican authorities as persecution.
and 30 states in his message to the
governor.
In support OF this belief he points to
the fact that a Mexican has confessed
in court to being the slayer Of Ca
ballos. This confession was regarded
by the court as being prompted by be-
lief on the part of witnesses that a re-
ward had been offered for Caballos,
dead or alive. The Mexican was not
arrested, and the process against Mich
OILS was continued on an appeal from
the sentence Of eight years imprison-
ment imposed upon Nicholas by the
Tampico court. The appeal is being
heard before the court at Ciudad Vic
toria, the state capital.
The Jail in which Nichols is con-
fined is filthy and oversrowded.
