DOUGLAS OUT OF DEBT
 WITH $7ooo IN TREASURY

DOUGLAS, March 24.-The city of Douglas does not owe q dollar in the world. It has more than seven thou sand dollars in the treasury and dur ing the past year has spent more than three thousand dollars in constructing a plank walk on St. Ann's avenue and more than two thousand dollars in re- pairs and upkeep of the City Dock, to say nothing Of the hundreds of dollars expended in maintenance of the walks and streets. That is a brief summary of the report of City Clerk Henson to tue City Council at the meeting last night, all of which was verified by City Treasurer P. H. Fox.
 The clerks report shows that the municipal wharf has netted the city more than three thousand dollars above all expenses during the past 12 months; in fact the report was so sat isractory that the members of the council could not help but feel pride and qualification in the years busi- ness.
 Charles Hopp, member of the school board, was present at the meeting and discussed the affairs of the school which were likewise found to be in good condition.
 By order of the council caucus for the placing in nomination of seven councilment and one member of the school board was called to be held in the Lyric Theatre at the hour of nine in the evening At this caucus names will be selected to be voted on at the general election to be held April 7th.

SENATE COMMITTEE
 AGREES. TO BILL

WASHINGTON, March 24.- The Senate public lands committee agreed today upon a bill providing for the op. ening of Alaskas coal lands under a leasing plan.
 Under the terms of the bill 512O acres of the Boring river field and 76SO acres of the Matanuska field are reserved for the government to be mined by it whenever in the opinion of the President the mining of such coal becomes necessary by reason of in. sufficient supply of coal at reasonable prices for the navy and government work or to relieve oppressive condi' tions"
 The bill proposes that the unreserv- ed lands shall be surveyed into 40. acre tracts, and that 40 acres of null tlples of that number not to exceed 256O acres may be leased to competi- tive bidders, not more than one tract being included in any one lease Rail roads are prohibited from acquiring a lease of more coal lands than they might require for their own use.
 A provision Of the law permits those who have claims to coal lands to re. ceive, upon relinquishing their claims. the money they have paid into tho treasury back, and the prior right to select lands under the leasing law.

Americans And MexiCans
 Fight Over Rio Grande

EAGLE PASS, Tex, March 24.- American soldiers and Mexican Fed. eral troops engaged in battle Sun day afternoon at McGee crossing, near Del Rio on the Rio Grande river. Sev. eral of Mexican troops were killed ac. cording to the most reliable reports that have been received here. One American soldier was wounded.
 The battle between the Americans and Mexicans resulted from the refus- al of the Mexicans to cease firing on 40 Constitutionalist soldiers who were crossing the river to surrender to the Americans. The Mexicans fired on the Constitutionalists when they were in the stream and were warned by the American commanding officer to cease. Instead of obeying the com mand, the Mexicans continued the fir ing, even after the Constitutlonalists had reached the American side and surrendered to the American troops. The American commander then or dered the fire returned. The battle ragged across the boundary for fully ten minutes, with the river intervening between the fighting forces, before the Mexicans fled, carrying their dead.

CELEBRATION COMMITTEE
 CHANGES MEETING HOUR

The Celebration Committee will hold a meeting in the Council Chambers tonight at g o'clock instead of 8, so as not to conflict with the meeting of the Juneau Baseball Association called for 8 o'clock.
 The committee has a well defined plan for the celebration but would like to have further suggestions from the people, therefore. the public meet ing was called. It is essential that there be no further delay in making preparations. It is urged that Tuesday or Wednesday of next week would be an excellent time to have the big dem. onstration. From present indications, the big Sheep Creek tunnel will be completed Sunday or Monday and the crews that have been working so hard will want to come to town to cele- brate The finishing of this tremen- dous undertaking is considered by most business men worthy of cele- bratiou in itself, and the date suggest ed March 31 or April 1 could very serve for both purposes.

ALAsKA's GOVERNMENT
 AND PROPOSED CHANGE

An anonymous writer in the Seattle Post.Iutelligencer. commenting upon the method of governing Alaska from Washington and the difficulty that will be encountered in securing a sim pier and more direct system, graphi- cany described the situation as fol- lows:
 "'AlaskG's opening and development should be treated as one problem says Secretary Franklin K. Lane. The truth of the statement is apparent on its face.
 But it has never been treated as one problem. Seven of the ten execu- tive departments of the government from time to time have tried their hand at directing some one or the other Of the governments Alaskan ac- tiyiues. At present Jurisdiction is di- vided among five of the departments and do not know how many of the bureaus.
 "There is absolute lack of cO-ordina- ton among the many bureaus that have to do with Alaska. No central authority is there to bring order out of chaos.
 This nations desire and purpose in Alaska should be to make it pros porous, productive. populated Ameri- can commonwealth. It is right and proper that the nation should look to it that monopoly does not flourish and that opportunity should be on fair and even basis. But that is all
 Tn the face of a pronounced ten dency of the times toward simpler forms Of government and the commis- sion government idea, negligent con gress has permitted to grow up des- potic hydra-headed bureaucracy that makes a pretense of handling Alaskan affairs. Alaska's residents have sui fered more outrages at the hands of this bureaucracy than the American colonies suffered at the hands of King George. They have more reason to re- volt against this government than our Yorefathers in 1776 had to revolt against England.
 Tt is now proposed to substitute for this bureaucracy a single commis- sion, or development board, appointed by the President, to be resident in AL aska and to administer Alaska lands and resources on the ground. as James Douglas administered them in that ear Tier day in British Columbia.
 "The power of the Washington bu- reaucracy-and it is a big power-is preparing to defeat the proposal. No bureau ever surrenders any of it's au- thority. without a struggle. The bat tie is to be a battle in the dark, for bureau methods are devious, subtle. and secret"

FRANK CONNELLY
 DIES ON TRAIL

Frank Connolly, cook for the Riley camp in Iditarod was frozen to death on Rainy Pass about March s, accord ing to Patrick Boyle, who arrived in Juneau last night on the Northwest ern. coming direct from the Kusko- kwim and Iditarod sections. Connolly was on his way into the Iditarod and attempted to cross the pass nearly the same time. Boyle was doing the same only they were travelling in opposite directions. His body has not yet been recovered Connolly was well known and we'll liked. Mir. Boyle says the weather was pretty bad on the pass at the time he crossed.
 Patrick Boyle will be remembered in Juneau last, as the doorkeeper in the House of Representatives for the First Legislative Assembly of Alaska. He joined the mining expedition of H. R. Plate last fall and put in the win ter on the Kuskokwim with B. Finder, local Juneau assayer both of whom were in the employ of Mir. Plate and associates. Speaking of the Kusko- lwim. Mir. Boyle says in a general way it looks good. He is reticient about the immediate section in which he and Mir. Finder worked during the winter, Mir. Finder came out with him and continued through to Seattle.
 A small but good little placer strike was made during the winter, Mir, Boyle says. according to reports coming to him on a tributary of the Kuskokwim known as Elk river. The strike was made we'll up near the head and there were only 12 good claims on it. At the town of CulLMcCloskey, a mining company was operating on a quartz proposition during the winter and ex- pect to ship ore out for milling tests this spring.

 Look Not Upon the Wine" is a laughable farce comedy by the Blo- graph Company.
 Parcels Post ohnnie."-This film is also a clever comedy with John Brennan and Ruth Rowland as the laugh.makcrs. This must be se2n to be appreciated.

BRIDEGROOM
 IS GRANDFATHER

WASHINGTON, March IT, Will liam Gibbs McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, who is to be married to the youngest daughter of President and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, was 30 years of age, Oct. 31, 1913. He is the ia. ther of six children-three sons and three daughters, all living. His cid. est son Is nearly two years older than Miss Eleanor Wilson, the bride.to.be. His eldest daughter is just her age, 24. He has one grand child.
 Mir. McAdoo and Miss Wilson be- came fast friends at Seagirt, N. J., in 1912, when the present Secretary of the Treasury, as vice-chairman of the Democratic National committee, frequently visited Gov. Wilson to con- suit about matters in connection with the Presidential campaign. They played tennis there, danced the tango and learned to like each other. The friendship grew after the New York lawyer, financier and politician be- came member of the Presidents of. ficial family and both had gone to Washington to live. It was more than year after they had met, how ever, that they sought the consent of the President and Mrs. Wilson to be- come engaged to marry.
 The frequently repeated rumor that after the wedding, which is to take place in June, Mir McAdoo will re- tire from the cabinet and be made ambassador to France is denied at the White House, where 1t is said the President declares that he has no Cabinet changes in contemplation.

ONLY ONE BATTALION
 WILL GUARD ALASKA

When tho 3Oth Infantry leaves Al. aska in June the regiment will be re, placed with single battalion of four companies. The first battalion only of the 1ath Infantry has been ordered to Alaska, and 1t will be divided among the forts at William H. Sew ard. Llscum, Gibbon and St. Michael. This probably means that Fort Jeff Davis at Nome will be abandoned as Fort Egbert at Eagle was abandoned several years ago. The division will probably be one company at each fort Major Frank II. Albright commands the first battalion of the 14th Infan. try.
 The second and third batallions of the 14th Infantry will be retained at Fort Lawton, near Seattle, to be in readiness to proceed to Mexico in case their presence there should be re. Quired.
 The 3Oth Infantry, when 1t leaves Alaska, will go to Indianapolis.

JUNEAU BAND BOYS
 sERENAoE SENATOR RIDDEN

Senator Henry Roden, "Our Heinie" as he is affectionately known in his Iditarod home, was seranaded by the Juneau High School band last night. Shortly after the Alameda had ar. rived from the South, the band boys, under the leadership of Louis Schell, who is also their tutor, appeared in front of the Occidental hotel, where Senator Roden is staying and com menced with a lively air.
 Finally Senator Roden was made to know that the music was in his honor and he appeared in front of the ho- tel. A large crowd had congregated and the affair took on the nt ture of an ovation. Several selections were played. Senator -Roden thanked the boys for the music and the kindly feel ings that prompted their action and said that he was more than ever de- termined that they should attend the exposition at San Francisco nex. year. At the close of his remarks three cheers were given Senator Roc n by the assembled throng.
 Through a misunderstanding the band boys believed that Senator Ro- den was leaving on the Alameda en- route to Iditarod and they were de- termined not to allow him to leave without showing a mark of the es- teem in which he is held by the or ganization. Senator Roden. when first coming to Juneau as a member of the Territorial legislature from the Fourth Division, took a lively interest in the band, and the feeling is reciprocated by the band boys in full.
 Senator Roden said last night that the band is showing marked improve ment over their work of a year ago, and that the organization is credit to Juneau and would be a credit to many communities much larger than the capital of Alaska.

DEMOCRATS WERE
 AGAINST FREE TOLLS

WASHINGTON, March 24- Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson asserted today that in seeking the repeal of the pro vision for free Panama canal tolls for American coastwise vessels, he is not only asking the Nation to do that which 1t is honor bound to do but that he is asking 1t to so in the direction that the Democratic Congressional rec ord has pointed out that 1t should go. When the act passed. he said, ma jority of the Democrats in Congress voted against the toll exemption clause. The clause was retained in the bill by coalition between a ma jority of the Republicans and a mi. nority of the Democrats.
