ALDERMEN TO
PAY EXPENSES
Resolution for District At
tornsy Fach's Relief.

When Mayor Gaynor was shot a
law was passed permitting the city
of New York to pay the expense in
Cured by his injuries in the way of
medical attendance and hospital
bills.
Alderman O'Rourke has presented
a resolution providing similar relief
for District Attorney Albert C. Each.
The resolution follows:
THAT pursuant to the provisions
of chapter SS7 of the laws of 1911,
the Board of Aldermen hereby certi-
fles to the comptroller for payment
as charges against the city of New
York for medical and surgical treat
ment rendered to District Attorney
Each, during August, 1912, while
suffering from two bullet wounds
N1stained at the hands of a person
ueeming herself aggrieved by and
seeking revenge for an alleged off
cial act on the part of said district
attorney, bills as follows:
Samuel R. Smith Infirmary . . $3.50
Miss Meyer and Miss Ficken
nurses 100
DR.. George Mord ....... 500
DR.. Henry t. Goodwin ...... ESQ
DR.. William C. WASHER ...... $50
DR.. John T. Erdman ........ 100
Total 1885
A Manhattan newspaper raises
the question Of the right of the city
to pay Mr.. Fach's doctors bills,
and says:
THE only difficulty in collecting
the bill Is that the statute refers to
it's benefciaries as the mayor or
any other officer or nmploye of such
city New York; and the district
attorney is not AN officer or en-
ploye' of New York city, but a
Richmond county officer as the crea-
lion of the city Of New York did
not alter the status of the district
attorneys whose counties are in
cluGed in the city"

CANAL ROW TO
WAIT FOR TAFT
President Will Discuss Tolls
With Colonel Cocktails

Washington, Dec. l7.-No attempt
will be made to take up the Panama
canal controversy with Great Britain
until President Taft returns from Pan
anna, according to statements made
here. The president wishes particular
~ to talk with Colonel Goethals about
some of the broader phases Of the canal
luire a fresh view of the whole situa-
ton by the visit to the canal. The
president will be back in Washington
early In January.
As a matter Of fact, the decision of
the president will not materially alter
The situation as regards the progress of
the case. All correspondence relating
to the canal down to date is being care
fully examined. and other records are
being gathered for the use of the Off
:ials who will actually draft the memo
randa for the case of the United States
cersus Great Britain.
While neither President Taft MOI Sec
rotary Knox have any disposition to let
the Panama canal controversy drag
along without action between now ard
March 4. it is felt that there Is no need
Of great hurry. 1t is pointed out in this
connection that 1t will be some time
before any of the things against which
Great Britain is complaining In adj
vance can actually happen. In a year.
It is thought, much may happen to ma
terially change the situation.
So 1t is not proposed to rush through
any plan for settlement of the dispute.

 Alaska furnishes a substantial market for the manufactured products of the United States, and Seattle, in a great measure, owes it's rise, progress and what pros perity it enjoys to this territory. Of course this statement will be believed by but few people of that city. They lay the flattering unc- tinn to their souls that the "Scat- tic Spirit" has worked the won- drrs and performed the miracles. They would not have us tell it in Alaska. publish it. in the streets of the Elliott bay city or pin it. to the Alaska totem pole that stands in Pioneer square.

Secretary of the Interior Fish CT has announced his intention to wipe off the slaate" in the matter of the Alaska coal land controversy, before March i. He adds that there will be no coal patents issued t0 anyone if he gets "hiS fingers on them before March f."
 Taking an absolutely diSpas- SiOnate view of Ihe Alaska coal land "nIbrnglIo. we can come iO no other conclusion than that grave injustice has been done tn number of Hhr Alaska coal land claimants. That there has been rnllusinn and fraud in some eases is evident: but il does not seem [" br reasonable that every man who entered upon i6O acres Of coal land is a thief, per.jur- er or a fraud.

HOPE FOR ToPEKA's HELP.
McGin May Try to Keep Team in
Pueblo.

Pueblo. Jan. 22.-Jimmy McGin OF
Denver and his influence in the West
ern league is now Pueblo's only hope
of keeping its baseball team here. The
$1,000 cash bonus and $4,000 more in
profits distributed during the latter
part of last season are as good as gone
unless McGill can convince the other
Inagnates that the league is making a
mistake in permitting the return of
the team to Wichita.
It is the general opinion, however,
that Pueblo has no grounds upon
which to base legal action as no writ
ten contract was exacted from Isbell.
He merely gave his word that he
would carry out his end 'of the con-
tract.
Denver and Topeka, it is believed,
will oppose the transfer of the fran
chise to Wichita.
Figures were produced which went
to show that IsbeH had cleared $4,000
above expenses and probably much
more above that amount after he
brought the team to Pueblo. 1t was
the general opinion that the removal
of the team was against the best in
terests Of the league as Pueblo was
one Of the three paying cities last year.
Unless something can be done to save
the team, Pueblo will never forget the
sting. The trick has made it iInpos-
sible ever to raise bonus money for q
baseball team in this city
