listed men of the Naval Bat
talon of the National Guard of the
District of Columbia seem to be cen
tered in a recruiting campaign which
is scheduled to close July 9, when Com
mander Joseph A. Dempf commanding
the battalion, expects to have not less
than sixty men in each of the four
divisions which compose the battalion.
Commander Dempf has offered a cash
prize to the division which brings the
greatest number Of recruits into the
battalion by the time set for the clos
ing campaign. and the men are all
working hard to bring this prize to the
division fund. The Sd Division of the
battalion. commanded by Lieut.. Frank
w. Sigourney. is particularly active in
its campaigning. hardly a drill night
passing by that four or five men are
not added to this division alone. And
the men are so enthusiastic that they
do not usually wait until Thursday
| night, but take the new recruits to the
recruiting officers place of employ
ment to have them sworn in.
One who is particularly active in the
third division in the recruiting cam
paign is Russell Simmons. who. him
self having been a member of the bat
| talon only three weeks. has succeeded
| III getting nearly ten young
| men to enlist to learn the naval war
duties. He has been highly compli-
mented by both his division officer and
| the commanding officer of the bat
talon.
Everything possible is being done by
Commander Dempf and his officers to
| make the naval volunteer service at
tractive to the young men of the city.
and by this means the commander is
building up an organization of high-class
young men who have a serious desire to
learn the workings of the naval service
and at the same time live at their homes
and follow a civil employment. Plans
are being made for a number of cruises
during the summer months lasting from
one day to three days. The one-day
| trips usually will be made on Sundays,
| when the naval militia yacht will leave
her dock at 10 o'clock in the morning
and will return about 3 or 6 in the after
noon. When the weather gets warmer it
! is proposed by Commander Dempf to
| have a number of his naval militiamen
volunteer for service each evening for
! trips down the river, lasting from about
o'clock in the evening until about mid
night. These evening trips. it was eX-
planned will be taken to give all Of the
miIitiamen confidence in themselves to
handle the vessel in pilot waters at night.

MINEOLA, N. Y., Oct 21.-Doctors who examined Mrs Bailey shortly af- ter she was murdered in the office of Dr. Carmen, state that the woman was about to become a mother when she was murdered.
 The state also produced as a wit ness the nurse working for Dr. Car men and whose face was slapped by the doctors wife because she was caught giving the doctor kiss when the two of them thought the wife was not present. The prosecuting at torney introduced the girls testimony to show that Mrs. Carmen was of jealous disposition
 The defense expects to show that Mrs. Bailey called upon the doctor frequently; that her husband knew nothing of her trips nor of her con dition and that Dr. Carmen and Mrs. Bailey were infatuated with each oth. CT,

 FOREIGN EXCHANGE British Treasury Agent and New York Bankers Confer Upon BestMeans
 of Handling the Situation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Envoy Paish, who is here representing the British treasury department, stated today that he expected to find solution for the troublesome question of for eign exchange and predicted that England would take goods from Amer ica instead of the $2OO,OOO,OOO in gold that is owing by American bankers to British stockholders of American corporations.
 The British envoy expects to ar range with the bankers for a satis- factory exchange as it is impossible to pay in gold, as the supply is not large enough, besides which it can not be made to travel back and forth each time the balance is against one or the other countries.
 The local bankers and the British representative have held several don- ferences in an effort to adjust the details of the new system.

 TWO ALASKANS All of BunneI's Moneye Is Invested In Alaska and Wickersham's On
 the Outside.

Judge Wickersham drew about $38, 900 for seven years and seven months as district judge in Alaska. He drew $1O,OOO as delegate in the 61st con gress, $15,OOO for the 62nd congress and to date about $12,000 for the 63rd. This makes no account of the $1,500 a year he is allowed for mile, age as delegate, nor of his expense account when away from headquar- ters as judge. He has drawn about $75,OO0 for salary alone, having been on the federal payroll ever since he came to Alaska in 1900, except in 1908, when he was trying to get on the Guggenheim salary list.
 It is we'll known that Judge Wick in Tacoma and Pierce county, where he has large land interests. He has some mining property in the Panama, but he invests the dividends from that on the outside.
 Charles B. Bunnell also came to Alaska in 1900, a poor young school teacher. He taught at Kodiak three years and was principal of the Val deg schools four years. During these years he drew about $12,500 in sal ary. He has since practiced law and made little money. All he has saved is invested in Alaska, chiefly in Val dez.
 MT. Bunnell is stockholder and secretary and treasurer of the Cop per River Lumber Company, con- cern that pays out about $25,000 a year in wages to employees in the mill and logging camps. January l, 1911, he bought half interest in the Valdez Sheet Metal Works, con- cern which has paid out since that date about $29,000 in wages to em- ployes, about $7,500 a year.
 Will somebody kindly furnish a statement showing where Judge Wick ersham has invested the mazuma he has Jagged since he came to Alaska
