 The Treadwell -$eam, winners of the tournament, handed the other teams a surprise package" as it was not expected they would be serious contenders for first place. In the tournament ot last winter they finished deep down in the eel lar, and their sudden reversal of form was unlocked for. Skagwity, Juneau, and Whitehorse had a close race for second place, but last nights games gave Skagway the coveted position. The local team Iad carefully figured it out Con pa perl that they were good for at leust 26OO last night, but "jinX' in the shape of an unusual number of splits could not be shaken off, especially in the first and last games.

BAXTER THROWS
 GAUNTLET

Because of an advance in charg- es which Vice President R. w. Baxter says would approximately double the cost of the service, thu Alaska steamship company has thrown the gauntlet to the Marconi NEirelss Telegraph company, says the Seward Gateway, and in the future will attempt to obey the gov ornment laws pertaining to safety at sea with independently owned ap- paratus and it's own employees.
 With apparatus and operators furnished by a private concern the Alaska steamship boats are being equipped, and the attempt of MT. Baxter to beat the worlds most pow erGul concern at it's own game will be watched with interest.
 The Marconi company, with sS&- ticns on both coasts, has had a monopoly on wireless service be- tween shore stations and Shlps aC sea, and no wireless company in this country has successfully. met it's competition.
 Vice President Baxter explains that the vessels of the Alaska Steamship company will work with government stations of the United States and Canada, and the Marconi company, which he said would be compelled to receive and trans init messages from ships at sea.

 Ut is impossible that the allied powers should extend their political system to any portion of either conti- uent without endangering our peace and happiness. Nor can any one be- Ieye that our Southern brethren, if eft to themselves. would adopt it of their own accord. It Is equally impos- .ble, therefore, that We should behold such interpretation in any form with indifference.
 This doctrine, which has been called a corollary of Washington's policy of neutrality in all European affairs, was in 1S45 and 1848 by Polk; a 1866, when the French were com pelled to withdraw from Mexico; in 1870 by Grant. with respect to San Domingo, and in 1895 by Cleveland in the Venezuela affair.

CLIMATE DOES NOT CHANGE.

Willis Isbister Mllham's Book on Met
 eorology)
 The question of this constancy oi the climate must be discussed for threc different time intervals, first, has the climate remained constant during tAo recent past, say the last loo years; secondly, has the climate remained constant during the historic times. say tLe last 1000 years; thirdly, has the climate remained constant during re- cent geologic ages. say the last lO.- 0O0,OOU years?
 There are many stations where me neurological observations have been made for more thala l00 years In fact d few records cover more than 300 y,-rs Based upon these observations, the statement can confidently be made .iat the climate Is essentially the same now as it was many years even loo years ago This is largely contrary to popular belief It means that, taking one year with another, the snowfall is just us large now as then. It means that sIeighing lasts just as long now as ten. It means that the winters are no tnuder now than then. means that the summers ars no hotter now than then.
 The constant statemerts by the old CT people, that the climate is different now than it used to be waen they were younger, are due to the tendency to magnify and remembes the unusual while the ordinary is forgotten Thus n time, it is only the unusual snow fall or the extremely low temperae, that are well remembered. and uncon- siously the abnormal has thus been substituted for the normal. These statements are also due to the fact ltat the attitude toward life, the amount of energy, the daily occupa ions, and perhaps the place of resi- Idence of the older people are very different now than when they were younger.
 In discussing the possible changes in climate during the last 1000 years inference must be drawn from such recorded facts as the dates of harvest the kind and amount of crops raised, the kind of clothing worn by the peo- pie, the habits of afe of the people, existence of certain wld animals and 'orest trees, the size of the rivers, the height of lakes and ineIosed seas, etc.
 rom evidence of this kind, the con
 fusion has been drawn that there have Deen no marked changes in climate during historic times.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

,llarry A. Wise Wood. chairman con
 ference committee on national pre-
 pardness.)
 Early in the last century the United States was in difficulties with Russia,
 and the holy alhanee-kussia, Prussia and Austria. Russia had attempted to exclude foreigners. From certain dis pted territory in the American north west, while the holy alliance had threatened to reimpose spanish rule upon the south American colonies, which, having repolted, had been rec |ognized by our government as inde- pendent states.
 These controversies having reached a critical stage, President Monroe, in ls message 10 congress of December
 z,1S23, announced the policy, already indicated by Jefferson, which since has borne Monroe's name. Jefferson had said: our first and fundamental max i'm should be never to entangle our selves ill the broils of Europe Our second, never to suffer Europe to in- termeddle with eisAtlantic affairs. Shortly after these words we're writ ten Monroe in his message said:
 The occasion has been judged prop CT or asserting as principle in which the rights and interests of the United states are involved, that the Amert- can continents, by the free and inde- pendent condition which they have as- sumed and maintain are heneeforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers.
 "In the wars of the European pow CTS in matters relating to themselves We have never taken any part nor does it comport with our policy to do so. 1t is only when our rights are in Naded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparations for defense With the movements in this hemisphere we are of necessity more immediately connected, and by causes which must be obvious to all enlightened and impartial observers. The political system of the allied powers is essentially different in this respect from that of America.
 We owe it, therfore, to candor and to the amicatble relations existing be- tween the United States and those powers to declare that we should con- slider any attempt on their part to ex- tend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing
 olonies or dependencies of any Euro pean power we have not interfered. But the governments who have de- clared their independence and main tained it. and whse independence we have on great consideration and on fust principles acknowledged, we could not view any interpretation for the pur-
 @ Q expressing or controlling in any other manner ther destiny by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an un- friendly disposition tward the United

Test Suit Against One Of

ment.

One of the most important agreed
judgments rendered during the last
term of court was the test suit
known as the "Bitulithic case. "
When the bitulithic streets were
built in 1912, seventeen property
owners refused to pay their assess
ments of 80 per cent. of the cost,
the city paying the rest. The sum
amounted to about ZOO which the
city paid and brought suit to enforce
the apportionment warrants. One
suit was brought against Mrs. J. d.
Hill, the others agreeing to abide
by the decision in that case. After
several delays, a number of decisions
having been made in the meantime
in similar suits elsewhere, the case
was set for trial and the defendants
agreed to settle without trial, &C.

due with interest from Dec. 20, 1912.
The sum to be returned to the treas.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.


Prof. Thos. J. j. See, of the Mare
Island. CAL, naval observatory, an
nounces that he has new theory OF
gravitation different from Sir Isaac
Newton's, which he will explain be-
fore long in St. Louis. Prof. See
contends that gravitation is an cleo
trical phenomenon which is caused
by elementary electric currents CIR
culating about atoms of matter. This
theory is an extension and elabora-
ton of physical laws first demon
strated by the French physicist, Am
pere, ninety.five years ago. Ampere
showed that two parallel currents Of
electricity, flowing in the same di-
rection. attract each other. but re-
pei when flowing in opposite direc'
tions. Much of the complicated cleo
trical machinery of the present day is
made possible by the adoption of this
principle. Prof. See goes beyond
{. this hypothesis and asserts the en-
tire universe is governed by forces
dependent upon electricity in motion.
"Gravitation," the professor says,
"is not an instantly acting force, but
is transmitted through space at the
same rate as sunlight. Thus itwould
/ come from the sun to the earth in
eight minutes"

TO
KILL FRANK
Life Termer at Milledgeville Ap.
plies Knife Recovery
Doubtful.

Milledgeville, Ga, July 19-Leo NJ.
Frank, whose death sentence for the
murder of Mary Phagan was recent.
ly committed to life imprisonment
was attacked by another prisoner at
the state prison farm Saturday night
and seriously injured, being cut in
the throat. Prison officials said the
attack on Frank was made by William
Green, who is also serving a life term
for murder. Franks recovery is
said to be doubtful.
The attack on Frank came from
behind. His assailant used butch
er knife. Franks jugular vein was
cut but neither the spiral cord nor
windpipe was injured.
Green gave as his excuse that he
thought it ought to be done" Gov.
Harris has ordered an investigation
to find out if Green acted of his own
volition. In the darkened room
Green obtained permission of the
guard to get up and as he passed
Frank seized his hair and cut his
throat. To those who reached Frank
first. he said: 81 guess they have got
me now" He did not lose consci-
business, and after being taken to
the hospital asked that his assailant
be forgiven.
Green was sentenced from Colum.
bus, Ca, for killing a man named
Kitchen. Shortly after the crime a
jury inquired into his sanity, but de-
clared him sane. Saturday he was
helping to kill hogs with other pris.
oners. He concealed in his clothing
the knife he used in butchering, and
later 1t is believed he secreted it in
his bunk.
