WANT WILSON
 0N THE STUMP

WASHINGTON, June 24-Efforts by Democratic" candidates to enlist the active assistance of the presi- dent in their campaigns for election have begun. Representative Connol-- ly, of Iowa, who was nominated on June l by the Democrats of his state to oppose Senator Cummins, Pro- gressive Republican, for reelection, will soon head delegation from Iowa to beg the president for at least one speech in that state in the heat of the campaign.
 The feeling of congressman is that this year national issues will play more important part than usual. The first Democratic administration of many years is on trial. This makes Democrats particularly anxious to have the presidents active and per- sonal assistance. In a peculiar de gree they think the policies of the party as expressed in legislation are the policies of MT. Wilson. He, they think, will be best able to explain them to the voters. This is especial ly their attitude toward tolls repeal and the Mexican tangle.

kLL RED LIGHTS BE Ex1tNGU|ShEb
Federal Officials Serve Notice On Property Owners to Stop Nuis-
 ance By July 10.

U. s. Marshal Brenneman this morning notified all the owners oi property in the red light district of Valdez that they would have to dis continue renting their property for purposes of prostitution. as 1t is the intention of the federal authorities to clean out the district, which they consider an eyesore to the commun- ity.
 District Attorney Spence took the initiative and desired the marshal to notify all the owners this morning that the district must be cleaned out by July 10th, or else they would be prosecuted under the federal stat utes which provide jail sentences and heavy fines for owners of property who rent the same for immoral pur- poses.
 For several years sentiment has been growing in the community for a less conspicuous location for the district and many have urged that it be moved away from all saloons. Many complaints have been made to the federal authorities, especially since the closing of saloons on Sun days, since which it is charged that liquors have been sold in the district even to greater extent than here tofore.
 The property owners in the district have reaped harvest from the small shacks, which have rented for $15.OO a week and up, and the order from the district attorneys office has caus- ed many of them to shed tears of sorrow at the loss of this lucrative income.
 Opinion is divided as to the advis- ability of the move. Some assert that no place in Valdez will be less con- spicuous than the present location, while others say that the district has no right to exist in the heart of the town. which has ougrown it's early traditions and customs.
 Just what action the city council will take to handle the situation is unknown. It is, however, certain that if the women scatter about the resi- dence districts complaints will be made to the authorities. Some advo- cate that new district be establish ed east of Keystone avenue and that no saloons be allowed in that section, besides more strict policing of the section to prevent the sale of liquor by the women. Some are for the abolishment of the district entirely.

HUNTING GERMAN
SHIP IN PACIFIC

San Diego, Nov. 9.-That the Brit
ish cruiser Newcastle and the Jap
anese cruiser Idzuma, accompanied by
collier, supposed to be the comman-
deered blue funnel freighter Prote-
silaus, are patrolling the Lower Cali
fornia coast and using Magdalena Bay
as base, in the hope of capturing
the German bark Lasbek, is the re-
port brought here yesterday by fish
ermen. These fishermen report that
last Friday the cruiser Newcastle was
in Magdalena bay. Later japanese

yuma, steamed into the bay and
joined the Newcastle, followed by n
big steamer heavily laden. At day
break Saturday the two warships and

warships since last Sunday, when a
three stack cruiser was seen cruising
to the southwestward of the Coronado
islands. The Lasbek sailed from San
ia Rosalia for Portland about ten
days ago.
