BANKERS MUST DEFEND
 BOWLING ALLEY HoNoRs

The bankers bowlers, who gained a victory over the "overdrafts" Satur- day night at the Elks'. alleys, will have to defend their honors. The over drafts have secured attorneys, and the lawyers will meet the bankers in nor tai combat, probably some evening this week. Jim Barragar, who is some bowler, himself, said 1t is no wonder that the bankers defeated the over draft fellows when one considers the interest that was taken-but interest does not always fall toward the banks when bankers have lawyers to con tend with.
 The bankers will play the double out system" against the lawyers, and stay with the same team that brought victory to their standard Saturday - Guy McNaughton, J. R. Willis and MT. Lucas. The lawyers have not decided upon the personnel of their team yet except that Judge John R. Vim will be one of them. z. R. Cheney, Judge J. B. Marshall, Judge Grover c. Winn and Judge R. E. Robertson are being considered.

CHINA JOE HOLDS
 OPEN HOUSE NOW

China Joe, one of Juneau's oldest in- habitants is receiving in honor of the beginning of new year in China. This has been a fixed habit with China Joe, and for more than thirty years he has had the latch string out in his Juneau home, and has welcomed old and young on this annual occasion. He has rich candies and fruits from the Flowery Empire for women and chil' dren, and serves something cheering to male adults, but what is still more ingratiating he gives the smile of loyal friendship to all.
 Always friendly with the whites and kind to the needy, China Joe endeared himself to the early pioneers. In one particular instance he won their last ing friendship. He had a monopoly of flour during one winter when boats were many months apart, and instead of realizing a handsome profit as many white merchants have since been known to do in the Northland, he kept the price of bread the same. Later when the great Chinese exodus from the Pacific Coast set in, during 1885, Joe was allowed to remain, while all the other Chinese, employees of Tread well, were driven from the mines and forced to leave the country.
 China Joe is said to have come to Alaska first in 1874, touching at Wran- gen, while following the great gold rush to the Cassiar country. Three years later he returned to Wrangell and still later went to Sitka. In 1881 he was caught with the gold fever and roll wed the rush to Silver Bow basin, at which time the strike was made on Gold creek and the the town of Ju- neau was formed. Arriving here he established himself on the identical spot which has continued to be his home.
 Still clinging to his little place at Main and Third streets, China Joe lives, and continues in his unobtrusive way to cultivate the little garden ere ated on the plot of ground surround ing his house way back in 1881. Un- abashed by the changes and muta- tions of time he continues his peace ful existence. If he is surprised at the wonderful growth of Juneau he gives no evidence of it, During all these years he has maintained his small garden on the lot occupied in part by his house and has busied himself at other work betimes.

With only superficial knowledge of Mexican affairs

Eliminated The old order of things that has ex-
sted since Spain misruled the country must be de-
4royed.
u Several weeks ago The Star drew an analogy be-
Iween the social and political conditions in Mexico
md those prevailed in France just prior to the
reat French Revolution. In France there was the
anne class monopoly of the land and of the privileges

IL the land owners This social system had existed for
Centuries and it was the accumulated wrongs of CEN

PRESIDENT Wilson in an authorized statement this
week draws the same parallel and points to the same
tanse-land monopoly by small class.
II There were seen in France during the Revolution
women identified with all the excesses of the
lines marching and fighting with the revolutionary
rmes attending guillotine executions and helping to
daughter royaists in the prisons. And what do we
lee in Mexico? Women marching and fighting with
Villas battalions. These women, too, are imbued
with the same sense of centuries of wrong.

Ind new order is coming in. These great changes
Are always attended by violent commissions All great

Jackies, Highly Efficient

That the jackies of the American
navy who are doing such valiant SER
vice in Mexico just now are the most
efficient body of their kind in the
world is the tribute paid by the Of
ficers in command and also by author
tiles who have seen the men of other
navies at work. it is said in Wash
ington that their craftsmanship is not
equaled anywhere and that the al
most marvellous improvement in their
work with the big guns dates from
the Spanish-American war
The American navy is composed of
81 800 enlisted men and 3,4S5 officers.
The apprentice seamen at the train
ing stations, where they are received
after enlistment, are each allowed $50
for clothing and get $16 a month and
rations. When they go aboard ship
they are made ordinary seamen and
receive from $40 to $22 a month and
rations. At each training station
there is a school in which the young
men are given an elementary educa-
ton, and since last January there
have been similar schools on every
ship, the idea being to fit the men for
advancement through the various
grades of petty officer and warrant
officer The real object of the navy
is to increase the general efficiency Of
the men who make the navy life
career.
In addition to this, 500 of the sailors
are now taking courses in correspond
ence schools. During the next fiscal
year, June, 1914, to June, 1915, the
federal government will distribute
among the men $4,000 in money,
badges and trophies for experiences in
gun practise, and therein, it is said,
lies the reason for the unusual eff
ficiency of the men in gun work For
years the navy has given prizes for
rife practise and small-arm practise,
but 1t was not until after the Spanish
war that prizes were awarded for eff
ficiency in great gun craftsmanship.
According to the officers of the
navy, the efficiency of the men with
the monster guns has increased 1000
per cent. since 1885, The contests,

Cats Trained as Hounds

The especial value of these cats,
Mr.. Nimmo says, is in their ability to
trail, capture, and kill wounded
squirrels which flee to the tree tops
after being shot. He estimates he
has secured some 200 squirrels which
otherwise would have been lost to
him during the past season by the
aid of these cats. When he takes his
shotgun from the rack in his home
the cats leap about him, like hunting
dogs, only they meow their pleasure
at going afield, rather than bark, as
would setter or hound. Their owner
says they are better at trailing coons,
those well-known game animals of
the South, than the hest coon dogs in
the State. Last December he cap
tured twenty-five raccoons with the
aid of these cats, and neither cat got
so much as a scratch from the ami
mails, tom and Jerry" said he, will
follow me like dogs for miles through
the woods, until they see or scent
rabbit, bird or squirrel. Then they
squat down close to the ground. wag
their tails from side to side. and re-
main motionless until / see the game
and shoot. Then they dash forward,
selling the animal or bird and hold
ing it until l arrive"

The Canal and the Trade

1t is a little early as yet to speak
of the influence of the Panama canal
ore trade, but something pertinent
along that line may be looked forward
to during the present year
The preliminary investment of cap
ital to take advantage of the canal
has been more extended than is gem
orally thought, the East having little
comprehension of what the Pacific
coast actually has done along this
line.
In round figures the canal has cost
$500, 100000, whereas it is estimated
the sum of $500. 100000 actually has
been expended in extension of railway
lines, improvement of harbors and
docks in preparation to handle tho
new trade. From Prince Rupert to
San Diego this work has been pros
ecuted with Vigor although it is in
the Pacific Northwest that the great
est activity has taken place, and es-
pecially so at Seattle and Vancouver.
The grain trade of the western
provinces of Canada has increased
100 percent. every five years in the
past decade. On the lakes we know
that the movement of grain has
quadrupled during the last five years.
There are some salient facts to be
considered in that connection, how
ever. The distance from Edmunton
to Fort William on Lake Superior is
1850 miles, while Edmonton grain can
reach tidewater 1856 miles away at
Vancouver, or S25 miles over the
Grand Trunk Pacific, with n maxi
mum west bound grade of .0.5 of
per cent. Vancouver is open all the
year round, and it is obvious one box
car can carry twice as much grain
to the Pacific seaboard as it can to
Fort William, because it travels only
one-half the distance.
There is bound to be a readjust-
ment of lines Of communication, and
the opportunity Will shortly be Of
| fered for some most interesting COM
parative studies.

THE PEST THAT COMES FROM BERGEN.

Mosquitoes have been thick in the suburban towns
and in the enyirons of Newark during the present
week and much complaint has been heard, as well as
criticism of the Mosquito Commission. 1t appears
however, that the county owes this visitation to
Bergen county where the salt meadows permitted
to breed clouds of the insects the wind carrying them
into Essex County
There is doubt that the breeding places in this
county have been pretty thoroughly eliminated. The
insect that has pestered the suburbs and parts of
Newark this week of the species that breed in the
meadows and do not enter houses, and it is easy to
trace them to their in another county where
comparatively nothing has been done to destroy the
breeding places The Bergen freeholders have cut
down the appropriation for the county commission to
point to forbid effective work. If the adjacent
counties should heartily cooperate with Essex the
mosquito would disappear in this section of New
Jersey.
Bergen has great possibilities residential
county. 1t is striving for Hudson River bridge to
bring population and wealth But while its stupid
county officials in their mistaken economy tolerate the
mosquito plague there will be little growth of popa
ton. That fatal blight which has rested upon the
State long and made suburban property well-nigh
unstable and unrentable will keep away residential
population.

TITANIC CALAMITY MADE THE vATERLAND.

The last word in marine architecture, the new
German liner Vaterland $50 feet in length and 90
feet width, is only so feet short of the 1000 feet
which has been fixed the limit of length for the
ocean greyhound.
But the Vaterland exceeds all other ships in the
essentials of safety. She has lfeboat equipment
for all her passengers and double bottom and
every device that ingenuity could provide to make
her superior storm and stress and insure the lives
of her human cargo.
The 1000 victims of the Titanic paid dearly for
what in the Imperator and Vaterland. If the
Titanic had been duplicate of the magnificent ship
that made her first entry into New York harbor yes
terday she would have reached port and 1900 lives
would have been saved.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How Tilden Made Good Political Obligation

candidate and nominated Horatio
Seymour.
Judge Church never spoke to me
of that matter, excepting in the most
incidental manner" Judge Davis re-
piled. He was an astute politician.
He had been Lieutenant Governor Of
New York, and had held other inn
portant political offices. But l sur
mise that he was always convinced
that Samuel j. Tilden, who then DOM
mated the Democratic organization
of New York State, had caused his
(Judge Church's) name to be pre-
scented to the Democratic convention
as New YorlS's candidate for Persi-
dental nomination, not in sincerity,
but for the purpose of masking his
plan to compass the nomination of
Horatio Seymour.
AT the proper moment Judge
Church's name WIS withdrawn and
Horatio Seymour's offered, and Sey-
moGr was nominated. Judge Church's
manner was that of a man possessed
of perfect dignity, and at no time did
he show any resentment that his
name should have been shelved in
this manner.
This dlgnified and unresentful at
titude of Judge Church greatly
pleased Tilden. I have good reason
to know that Tilden felt that there
should be some recompense to Judge
Church for the manner in which his
name had been suddenly withdrawn
at the Democratic national conven-
ton, and that of Horatio Seymour
substituted.
Undoubtedly Tilden had in mind
as recompense the nomination of
Judge Church, year later, as chief
justice Of the Court OF Appeals. AL
though 1t was common opinion that
Judge Comstock would be nominated
for he was entitled to it--Tilden
was influential enough in the Demo-
cratic State convention to secure the
nomination of Judge Church, and he
was elected by a plurality of about
$4,000 That Is the reason why Judge
Church became chief justice Of the
Court of Appeals of New York.
