HELPING
 ALASKA LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON. May I5.-At a con ference yesterday afternoon between President Woodrow Wilson and Gov. J. F. A. Strong the President said that he hoped to see the Alaska coal land leasing Dill passed at the present ses- sion, notwithstanding the action of the Democratic caucus in limiting legis- latiou for the session to the trust Ques- ton and the appropriation bills. He said. also, that there would possibly be additional legislation beneficial for the Territory.
 The President gave Gov. Strong a lengthy audience, and was very great ly interested in Alaskan matters.
 Chairman Scott Ferris. of the House committee on public lands, was inform ed by the President yesterday that the latter would like to have the AL aska coal land leasing bill passed and the water power bill at least before the adjournment of Congress! Mir. Ferris believes that both bills can be passed by the House,

 "They would get by the clerks and sldle into my office, pull an envelope out of pocket, pick out paper and say: I have a due bill here for $1O,- OOO,' or some such sum. would re- ply: Want a check? The answer would invariably be: Nothing doing; I want cash. iwould then draw check to Charles s. Mellen for the amount and send out and get the cash"
 Asked fatly whether or net the nrbn- ey was used to bribe New York off, cials, .Mellen baked at the word "brib- cry" saying that t went to persons of influence"

 While the army Is well supplied for the attck on saltillo, Gen. Villa, before leaving, said:
 "To establish government under the constitution throughout Mexico we will need ammunition-fa more ammuni- ton than we have now.

Disbursements.
Raising More Revenue.

In explaining the financial estimate furnished Mir. Willis said that some means would have to be adopted for either curtailing the city's expenses or of providing more revenue and in his opinion present rates at the city wharf should be raised to $1 per ton. At first glance he stated the published reports would seem to indicate that the wharf was maintained at a profit but that a careful analysis would show this not to be true The reports contained only a statement of operating expenses and receipts showing an income above the expenses named. There was no ac. count of the $SOOOO invested, the cost of upkeep. and natural deterioration of the property.
 The people, he said had been led to believe that they were getting bene fit of cheap wharfage and an income from the property. when, as a matter of fact, the benefciaries were the mer- chants who shipped goods-the bur den of maintaining the wharf was up- on the tax payers.
 After oelinquents.
 Mayor Reck was authorized to em- ploy an attorney and bring action to collect all delinquent taxes.
 Dog License.
 The old dog license was resurrected from the bottom of the vault in the hope that it can be revived and more money realized or the population of dogs kept down b. the minimum. It was discovered that according to the ancient ordinance that the city pound is located on the site now occupied by Juneau's handsome new city hall, and that Municipal Magistrate and Chief of Police, William Mcbride, is also ex-oflcio pound master. It provides an annual tax of $2 for each dog kept within the city limits. The city clerk was directed to send for tags and lie. enses.
 The question of taxing automobiles, motorcycles and bycicles by imposing a license was also discussed and may be covered by new ordinance.
 Routine.
 Current bills were audited and or dered paid
 The street committee was instruct ed to get bids, for sewer extensions.
 The street committee was ordered to get specifications for the replandng of Front street.
 Petition from residents of Casey shattuck addition for fire protection was referred.

WATERFRONT STREET LEFT
 WITH STREET COMMITTEE

The proposed waterfront thorough fare was dicussed at some length by members of the city council and others who were present. Robert Keeney, who represented the property owners declared that the people along the wa: terfront paid taxes and received noth. ing in the way of streets, but that they would meet the city half way. It was the concensus of opinion among the members of the council that the city should do something. Mayor John Beck believed that an equitable di. vision would be for the city to pay one-third the cost and the property owners the balance.
 The matter was left with the street committee for further Investigation and will be reported on at later meet, ing.

Lane Tells Why He
 Selected Susitna Route

WASHINGTON. May 15. - Asked why instructions had been given to the board for the first survey through the Susltna valley. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, this morn ing said that it Is because that route seems to offer the greatest possibil- tiles to achieve the purpose for which the railroad is intended.
 Tt reaches" he said. coal fields for the supply of the navy and it will supply domestic Alaskan purposes well. One of the definite objects we have in view by selecting the Susitna route Is that It touches the Matanuska coal field where is found high grade bituminous coal for the navy and for export purposes. It also reaches the Nenana fields where large deposits of high grade Ignite may be developed for domestic consumption"
 Further" continued the Secretary, the Susitna route opens a country that is rich and is known to possess great possibilities for development.
 But first. a route must be surveyed to see if it Is what We want We must know about the grades and terminals. and whether to place terminal at Seward or Portage bay"
 Secretary Refuses to State Definite
 Plan.
 "If grades are found to be satis- factory and adequate harbor facilities are found for terminals either at Sew ard or Portage bay, you will build the road through the Susitna yalley?" was asked the Secretary.
 "I have not said so" he replied.
 The Secretary also declined to say whether or not the present engineer ing board will build the railroad which it is to locate.
