BUNNElL WANTS THE
 TANANA JUOGSHIP

This afternoon Fred Martin, one of the two Democratic territorial commit teemen for this division, received a wire from Charles E.

He all so added that his application was in for the position.
 Bunnell's wire settled definitely considerable doubt which had arisen here as to his position. The night the News-Miner published the news of Judge Fuller's resignation it also stat ed that Bunnell was a candidate for the 1udgship This statement was de- nied the next day by leading demo- crats of the city, who stated that he wasn't a candidate and never had been. At that the subject rested, but rumor persisted from authentic sourc- es.
 This afternoon Fred Martin states that Bunnell was a candidate when he was in this city in the event that a vacancy should open the way, and has been working to secure the place. His telegram seems to settle the mat ter definitely.

Shortly after the outbreak of the war in Europe the American Bankers Association wired throughout the world stopping the issue of travel CTS cheques on foreign countries en- gagged in war It will be remembered that financial conditions frightened up so strongly that the American cruiser Tennessee had to take over $5,OOO,OOO in gold to bring back stranded Amer | jeans.

We do net believe that tourists will care to visit Europe while the war lasts. but there is every possibility that some of your customers having business there may be obliged to do so, and we are certain that the association cheques will give them the best possible ser vice.
