cap the mediation program.
While no Official announcement was
made last night. II would not be at all
surprising II a considerable part of the
feet at Vera Cruz was ordered to Tam
pico for service in the event of an emer-
gency. The formal announcement of
Carranza's refusal as given out by the
State Department last night. read:
"Carrsnza has notified the State De-
partment that he Is not willing to make
an agreement In regard to the neutral
ization OF the oil well zone. but so far
as his forces are concerned. the oper-
ators may return to the oil wells without
being molested."
This is a polite way Of saying that Car
rama refuses to make any agreement
with Huerta. but will do his best to pre-
vent damage TO the oil properties.
Next to Carranza's refusal, the most
interesting development In the Mexican
situation was the immediate action taken
by Huerta in the case Of DIR. f. W.
Ryan, an American. who was said to
have been condemned to execution as a
spy at sunrise yesterday. DIR. Ryan has
represented the Red Cross in Mexico. and
was connected with the State Department
in semi-offlcial capacity, through hav-
ing been designated to carry medical sup
plies into Mexico.

Huerts "Peace Expert.

Secretary Bryan Immediately made rep
reservations to the Mexican minister of
foreign affairs through the Brazilian
minister in Mexico City. Huerta re-
spOnded generously.
Secretary Bryan's message was sent
Thursday night. and yesterday morning
United States Consul Canada at Vera
Cruz replied that Gen. Huerta had stated
he was absolutely without advices in re-
gard to DIR. Ryan. He added. however.
that he was telegraphing the authorities
at Zacatecas, directing that DIR. Ryan be
permitted to come to Mexico City.
Huerta added that from Mexico City DR..
Ryan would be given the necessary
means for continuing his journey to
Vera Cruz.
This prompt action by Huerta is re-
garded here as another evidence of the
shrewd diplomatic game he is playing in
the present crisis. The representatives
Of foreign governments here say that
Huerta is now outgeneraling the United
States authorities even at the peace
game" He is responding promptly to
all representations. as instanced by the
Dr. Ryan and the Tampico oil field af-
fairs. and in every case Is doing what =
civilized government would be expected
to do.
Inc belief here Is that Huerta is lay

the last Of their bodies was lifted out

the belief that it had done its utmost

rent from crime

found innocent Of that act they would
have been freed since they were
found guilty they had to die. All in

ants. was Of no interest or value to

be attended TO. murder had been
committed In cold blood, and until its
perpetrators were in custody the
states attempts to protect it's citizens
would be mockery. And when the
details Of the crime had been pleced
together and II was found that four
youths of responsible age had shown
that they could be hired assassins, it
became necessary 10 prevent them
from repeating the offense.
But is il necessary TO stop there? Is
the gunnen's responsibility for the
murder Of Rosenthal the only thing OF
interest about them? Where did they
come from? Who are their parents?
How weas their childhood spent2
What schooling have they had? Dill
they become murderers in a day? II
society is genuinely interested in de-
terence from crime, ought 1t not to
study the lives OF criminals, as well
as provide for their trial and punish
ment? How else can it know the pro-.
cesses by which they are made?

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
pEHvERTIne THE NEWS.

The Oklahoma city Times makes
sport of headline in the oklahoman
reading, Yankee Machine Guns Nov
Down Mexicans" The article follow
ing the head showed that only two
Mexicans we're killed and these not by
machine guns.
We gather from the Times state
ment that the Oklahoman printed the
story as it came during the early part
al the evening, the telegraph editor
failing to make corrections that We're
received later in the night
Doubtless the editor already had the
heading written and IN type and as it
looked good to him he didn't take the
trouble TO revise it In the interest Of
accuracy II was bad Journalism, OF
course. and in view Of the facts con
tanned in the story the heading was
ridiculous.
We don't condone the Oklahoman's
offense at all, but 1t strikes US that
the Times is in no position to call the
kettle black and as evidence we cite the
following, supposed to be the begin
ing of an Associated Press dispatch,
appearing in the Times one day last
week
Washington. April %. president
Wilson for the first time today appear
ed to realize that the situation he has
created is of the gravest Importance
to Americans now in Mexico. This
afternoon the president sent mes
sage to congress asking for an appro-
prlation Of 100000 to be used to bring
Americans now in Mexico back to their
homes IN the United States
We read the same dispatch as It
was printed in other afternoon papers
Of the same day, including the Kansas
City Star, and in none of them did we
find the first sentence as given by the
Times or anything resembling it. The
necessary inference is that the Times
interpolated the sentence in the dis
patch for no ether purpose than to
cast slur upon the president. The
absurdity Of the statemeit apparent
tc anybody who has paid any attention
at all to the Mexicn situation. 1t was
simply puny partisan press effort to
put the president before the public in
false light We can find some ex
cuse, though no valid one, for the
newspaper that succutnbs to sensa-
tionalism and we recognize the priyi-
lege OF an editor TO take any view he
pleases in his comment upon the news,
hut We can think Of nothing more dis
reputable in journalism than the delib
crate perversion of news for partisan
purpose. To the credit OF the press,
there are few newspapers nowadays
that indulge in such tactics. 1t is this
sort Of thing which tends to destroy
confidence in the press and self-re-
specting newspapers everywhere
should condemn it,

ALL SHOULD TAKE
 INTEREST IN LIBRARY

Officers of the Draper Club have made this authorized statement regard ing the proposed Juneau library and free r, ding room:
 "Wul reference to the Juneau H. brary and free reading room. 1t must not b, forgotten that the few women bande, ogether under the name of the Draper Club should not be the only ones interested nthis project. Every man. woman and child in Juneau should take a personal interest in this matter. for 1t is going to benefit the many rather than the few. and espe- cially the boys and girls of this and neighboring towns.
 Tt is the intention of the Draper Club In the near future to rent a pleas ant room or rooms in one of the new steam heated buildings, the same to be used as a library and free reading room, the latter to be open all day and eyening( where all the leading period icals and newspapers may be read. The libary will be open four hours each day. two in the afternoon and two in the evening with a librarian in charge.
 Tt is the purpose of the club not to solicit subscriptions toward the main tenance Of this library. but they do feel that when they give the people value received for help asked, that all should be glad to respond.
 The first affair given by the club to raise money is the May Day Dance and they have bent all their efforts to ensure happy time to all present. and ask that all cooperate with them to make this a financial success.

ALASKA ONCE HAD AN
 EMBRYO NATIONAL GUARD

The local talk about forming Ma tional Guard in Alaska recalls that shortly after the withdrawal of the troops in Alaska at the outbreak of the Spanish war an effort was made to form one. Companies were actually formed at Douglas and Skagway. M. U. O'Connor. the present Mayor of Douglas. was captain of the Douglas company, and Capt. Seiberg, head of a local tailoring establishment, the American Tailors, commanded the Skagway troops. At Douglas the com pany went so far as to make arrange ments for an armory and both com panies secured uniforms and old Springfield rifles.
 Gov. John c. Brady was asked to muster the companies into service, but the government at Washington could find nothing that would author ize him to do so, so the Secretary of the Interior prevented it.
 The failure to secure recognition from the authorities finally caused the disbandment of the two companies.

FISHERIES INDUSTRY
 MAY GIVE SHOW

A movement is on foot to have those engaged in the fishing bushes of Southeastern Alaska to make Q dem onstration of the extent of the indus try in this section of the Territory at Juneau some time during the summer It has been suggested by those con- nected with catching and handling fish that the fishing fleet could be gathered here some time in June, with much of it's equipment, and that there could be arranged a marine parade passed the wharves of Juneau, Douglas, Treadwell and Thane.
 Another feature of the plan is to have a model sanitary plant prepared in a vacant room in this city, and that there be demonstrations of the many different ways of preparing and serv- ing Alaska fish so as to appeal to the appetites and necessities of people.
 The plan includes having motion picture cameras make record of the various phases of the marine parade and the sanitary model plant.
 It has been thought that such stunt as this would do a great deal to call attention to an Alaskan industry in such way as to give the people of the most populous center of Alaska, and through visitors and pictures of the country at large q more compre- hensive conception of it's magnitude and future possibilities.
 The plan was suggested by T. E. P. Keegan. for many years engaged in the management of canneries on Lynn canal and Taku Inlet. Robert Forbes, the Excursion Inlet canneryman, be- came enthusiastic over the plan, and others to whom it has been suggested have agreed to cooperate in every pos sible way to make such an affair a success.
 Mir. Keegan and Mir. Forbes think there should be cooperation between the fishermen in all phases of the in- dustry and the Gastineau channel com mercial organizations.
 Mayor John Reck has approved the plan, as has President H. J. Fisher, of the Juneau Commercial Club. and oth- CT members of that organ etion.
 The idea has been suggest; that the whole affair could be conducted as a part of a general celebration and dem- onstration of appreciation of the in- terest the government has taken in the development of Alaska by passing the railroad bill, the opening of the coal fields. the proposed expenditures in the interest of safe navigation and other things.

HOT SPRINGS SECTION
 BEST INTERIOR DISTRICT

A letter from an official who has tra- versed much of the interior and met people from all sections of the coun- try says that the Hot Springs district is the best in the interior of Alaska at the present time.
 The letter says:
 "The old Eureka camp, near Glb. bon, is looking up quite a bit. They have found some more pay and feel good about it.
 Sullivan creek, Hot Springs dis trict, is proving a surprise. Splendid pay has been found and new plants are being installed. It is by far the best camp in the interior of Alaska today.
 "The Marshal City strike on the lower Yukon is a total failure and everybody has left it.
