COAL MINE FOREMAN
 SAYS MINE IS GOOD

James S. Little, an Alaska pioneer of fifteen years standing, will be the fist foreman of the first coal mine patented in Alaska. He was a pas senger for Seldovia on the Sampson where he goes to begin his duties in charge of the development work of the Port Graham Coal Company, which is the official designation of the com pany that will operate on the Whorf properties,
 My instruction" said MT. Little are to open and develop the mine on a large output and paying scale"
 Mr. Little's father, residing at 22S1 Forty.sixth avenue, Southwest, Seat tie, is coal expert, and Mir. Little says he recently made an examine ton of George HarNader's coal claim on Admiralty Island, near Juneau.
 He discovered" said MT. Little that he found Harkrader's coal to he a bituminus coking coal, contain ing fixed carbon, 61. Sper cent; yoli- tile carbon, 311 per cent; ash' 3'2 Der cent; moisture, S9 per cent; spe- cifc gravity, 1906 Properly classi- fled it is a good steaming and gas coal and it will yield 65 per cent in very fair coke. It compares favorably with Pennsylvania coals and the Nova Sco- tia coals. In the low per centage of ash it is better than either"

BOSTON, March 1S.-An exodus of Massachusetts women who would go to some State granting them suffrage was declared by Dr. Harriet E. Clark at the annual hearing before a legis. lative committee to be inevitable un- less the word male" was stricken from the provision of the State Con- stitution covering the qualifications for voters.
 The anti-suffrage side which was conducted by State Senator George L. Barnes, claimed that 16,OOO Massa- chusetts women were opposed to votes for women. They believe that the sanctity of the home ought not to be disturbed by politics,
 The two parties were equally divid- ed as to numbers and time and among those who spoke in favor of woman's suffrage were L. D. Bran deis and Joseph Walker. The greater part of the time was occupied by wom- en speakers.

GOV. CLARK BARS
 ALCOHOLIC DRUGS

Governor Clark, whose office is charged with the special work of de- tecting violations of the law forbidding the sale of liquor to Indians, under a special appropriation of Congress for that purpose, gave out the following statement yesterday:
 From this time on druggists and mercantile dealers will be held strict ly accountable to the provision of law which forbids them absolutely to sell intoxicating extracts to Indians and other natives. The most fragrant abuses of the tacit permission granted some time ago to sell for medicinal purposes and in extremely limited quantities such articles as Jamaica ginger have recently been brought to light, especially in Southeastern Alas, ka The sales books of one drug
 gist. which were examined by an agent of this office, show that during period of two weeks, in January last Indians bought from him 3OS four uonce bottles Of so.called Jamaica ginger The sales have also been very large throughout the winter. The reason invariably given in each case with colds during the two weeks in one small village were so afflicted with colds during that two wekes that is accommodating druggist sold them a concoction called (but not all ways labelled) Jamaica giner, at the rate of 9 bottles a day-eQuiyalent in volume to at least 60 drinks Of whis- key, as drinks are customarily sold in bar room. One day 53 bottles were disposed of by one dealer; on another day A.
 The stun sold under the name of Jamaica ginger is higher in alcoholic strength than many spirituous liquors, and infinitely more harmful
 "I have consulted with the United States attorney for this division, who agrees with me heartily that there is and should be no alternative but to enforce the law literally and vigorous ly. This means that the sale of in- toxicating extracts as well as other liquors to natives must absolutely stop, not only in this division but through out the territory-so far as we are able to approximate this subject by viz orous action"

ALLIES WILL FIGHT
N 'ADOO'S DECISION
Declares Information Obtained
For Him Is PubIic-Has
Been Done Since 1863.

Much taken aback by n public state
ment from the Secretary of the Treas
ury of which he had no premonition
Milton Z. Allies, of the Riggs National
Bank, today declared that the bank
ing affiliations he represented would
fight for ever right that they possessed
with respect to obtaining Information
of national bank reports to the Conn.,
troller fthe Currency. Mr.. Allies ex-
pressed surprise and some Indignation
at what he termed precipitate action in
a situation that had evidently not been
studied.
Secretary McAdoo made this state
ment last night:
"A few weeks ago suggestions made
to the Secretary that certain banks had
long maintained private employees in
the Treasury Department for the pur-
pose of reporting to them on the trans
actions and business of the Treasury.
"As a result of an Investigation. which
was promptly begun, II develops that
the National City Bank of New York,
acting through Mr.. Allies, vice president
of the Riggs National Bank, of Wash
ington, has employed a clerk outside OF
the department. who has been given a
desk in the office of the Comptroller OF
the Currency, and who has, for the past
eight or ten years, made regular re-
condition of each national bank in the
country promptly following every call

Is Irregular.
This is, of course, irregular and i'm
proper, and, Immediately upon its dis
covery, it was stopped. 1t is only fair
to say that the banks claim that the
information so obtained is only such as
in due course is made public by the in
tiividual banks or the department. but
the method employed of installing

Treasury Department gives the bank

way of information over all other banks

..At the same time II tends TO estab-

ouirement of information or conh-
dental nature that ought not TO be
given to private individuals or corpora
tions, and which, If given at all should
be published to the entire country. II

1T was with these hupors in mind.

facts, that the Secretary issued the

tary's office. To have fully eXpl3 3incd
at that time the purpose of this order
might have defeated the end in View.
Some of the newspapers, unhappily de-
nounced this as gag" rule" and have
thereby greatly impaired the usefulness
of an order which was designed solely
for the public good and to prevent the
Treasury Department from being used
for the benefit Of any special interest.
THE policy of this Administration Is
'pitiless publicity. The Secretary is
in full sympathy with that policy. bur
