Trade Is
Affected by War

NEW YORK, Oct 4.-The most
serious consideration of the Euro
pean war is its effect on our foreign
trade. The hide and leather bust
ness is already suffering from held
up shipments, and it will not be
long till the effects spread to the
shoe industry.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter
announces that while the immediate
effect of the war will be disastrous
to our industries, the ultimate in
fluence will be to greatly stimulate
the demand for our merchandise.
With the great European industrial
countries mobilizing their troops.
millions of men will cease to be
producers and become consumers of

JUNEAU, Oct. 1-That Delegate
Wickersham is the author OF the
Objectionable bill that was presented
to congress. evidently in the inter
est of himself and of wealthy men
who own mines in Alaska but are
absent from there, which would
make it unnecessary to do assess
ment work in the Territory this
year has been proved beyond a
doubt.
The bill was introduced by Rep
resentative Albert Johnson of Wash
ington, and it was met with storm
of protest from all parts of Alaska.
To determine the authorship of the
bill, John w. Troy of this city sent
telegram to Johnson, asking for
information. A cablegram was sent
in reply by Representative Johnson,
IN which it was stated that the bill
was written by Wickersham
The excuse for the bill was that
| the war in Europe had so depleted
Alaska of miners, that it was not
possible to hire men to do assess
ment work The department of the
interior suspiconed that the bill was
sent for information to various parts

Of CARRANzA
IS REJECTED

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 4.-President
Carranza's resignation, presented to-
day to the conference of southern
delegates was rejected, and he will
remain at the head of the Mexican
government until some new phase OF
the situation presents itself.
It was known that CarranZa was
willing to resign in order to es-
tablish peace in the country. Tor
he had previously said he would do
so, if necessary. 1t was not be-
lieved, however, that he would offer
his resignation until it was solicit
ed.
Thus it was with some surprise
that he appeared at the conference
today, and read to the delegates pres
ent his resignation. The resignation
was filled with patriotic sentiments.
and related how the writer had en-
dured the hardships of war for the
welfare of his country, and how he
was willing to set aside personal
ambitions that peace might be main
tanned.
Before he finished the document.
President Carranza was overcome
with emotion, and had to discontinue
the reading. He had reached a
rhetorical climax in the document,
when it was noticed that he began
to waver, and would have fallen
to the floor, had not someone rush
ed to his support The scene that
ensued was dramatic and it was
feared that it would end in rioting.
but order was soon restored.
After the resignation had been pre-
sented, there was a spirited debate
in regard to whether it should be
accepted When the question was
finally put to vote, the resigna-
ton was rejected, and the majority
of those present assured President
Carranza that he would receive the
support of the best element OF
Mexican people.

DELEGATE
LOSES VOTES.

VALDEZ, Oct. 4.-The fact that
Wickersham is the author of the
bill that would save him and many
other absent Alaska mine owners
considerable expense. by doing away
this year with the necessity of do
ing assessment work in Alaska, has
cost the delegate many votes here.
That Charles f. Bunnell, the
Democratic candidate for delegate to
congress, will carry the Third dlvi-
sion by a large vote, is more and
more apparent. The Democrats
throughout the entire division are
well organized and are doing eff
fective work.

WICK ERSHAM
is CRITICISED.

JUNEAU, Oct. 4.-When it was
published in a newspaper here that
WickerSham is the author of the
Johnson bill uspending assessment
work in Alaska for this year, much
adverse criticism was directed
against him. and undoubtedly the
fact is costing him many votes.
In his speeches here, Wickersham
has been reading extracts from let
ters to show that both Jennings
and Troy, of this place, had con
graduated him upon the passage
of the bill giving Alaska limited
Territorial government, and he as
serts that they are now both dis
satisfied with the bill. He says that
this change of front is for political
purposes.
To prove that Wickersham is mis-
representing the real facts in the
case, Mr. Jennings has had the let

CORDOVA, Sept. %. Delayed)--
Angelo Vilisalis was shot and fatally
wounded at o'clock Saturday after
noon by Tony Papas, alias 1.-the
Axis, on the outskirts of this city.
Papas escaped, taking with him $500
in cash, which he is supposed to
have stolen from his victim
According to the story told by the
wounded man, after he was discover
ed in the bushes near here. it seems
that the crime was premediated.
Both men are Greeks. They arrived
here from Kennecott Friday.
On Saturday each bought Colts
automatic revolver and started out
along the railroad track with the in
tention of trying the guns on tar
gets. After they had each tried a
few shots at targets. Papas reached
for Vilisalis' gun, explaining as he
did so, that he, Papas would clean
it.
AS soon as he received the other
mans gun, leaving the latter un'
armed, Papas struck his companion
over the head with the latter's weap-
on, knocking him down. Then he
shot him twice. one bullet going
through the kidneys, and the other
through the spinal column.
On Sunday afternoon a man going
through the bushes was frightened
when voice called to him, offering
him IS if he would take him to the
hospital. The frightened man did
not stop to investigate from whence
the voice came, but hurried to the
ball grounds. where crowd was
watching a game, and gave the alarm

eyplained the situation in detail.
The letter from which WickerSham
has been quoting did not approve
of the bill in all its features, but,
while it showed that both Mr.. Jen-
nings and Mr. Troy objected to
many of the features of the measure,
they supported it, as they believed
that it was the first step in the
direction of better local government.

ROVE CENTER
OF CONTEST.

LONDON, Oct 4.-The city of
Roye is one of the centers Of the
great contest between the allied
armies and the Germans. The place
has been taken by one side and
retaken by the other almost daily
since the fighting in that place
began.
Roye is an important position from
a strategic viewpoint. The allies think
that if they can take it and retain
it, they can force the German cen
ter to fall back to the Meuse
river. The Germans have possession
of the place today. but 1t is ex-
pected that it will fall into the
hands Of the allies again soon.
