That AlasRans get what they want if they have to send to the other side of the world for it, is shown by the following, taken from the Seattle P.-I. of May 24th: The fiyst ship ment of New Zeland apples received on this market during the year was immediately trans,hipped to Alaska points where the demand for good keeping apples is keen. There were 150 boxes in the lot, and the sale was made by Western avenue jobbers at $2.5O per box. The fruit ran from 113 to 225 apples to the box, and will survive any extended time shipment to which it may be subjected. The flavor, color and size resembled the Washington Roman Beauty. although the best product sf New Zealand is an apple resembling the local Delicious, which sells at $3 per box. The New Zeland fall fruit harvest Is well on, and the apples tlere have the keep ing qualities oi the Washington grown product at the same time of the year.
 The steamship Corwin of Seattle, which was held fast in the ice off Nome nearly thne days succeeded in breaking the grip of the ice pack on May 24th ,and after four hours and a half of fighting the floes reached a safe anchorage in the Nome roadstead late in the day, marking the first arrival from Seattle this year. When the CorNin was held fast in the ice eight miles from Nome, men with dog team, sled and boat set out over the ice from Nome to at tempt to try to take off the 1o6 pas sengers who embarked on the Carwin at Seattle May 1. Their assistance was unnecessary, however, as the Corwin was able to make port under her own steam. The vessel dropped her anchors at the edge of the shore ice, which extended mile out from land. The gang plank was lowered to the ice, and the weary travellers trooped down On the ice. where scores of people with dog teams were waiting to take them to Nome.--Ex.

The results promise 10 be helpful in giving impetus to the movement of closer trade relations.
 There was one point on which ey- cry member in attendance at the conference seemed to agree-that the greatest obstacle in the way of trade development is a lack of trans Iorta- tion facilities.
 There were divisions of opinion as to how to meet the demand but there was unanimous agreement that it must be met before really great r6- suits are attained"

Atlanta Ga, May 29.-TIooper Alex ander United States attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, late to- day filed with the state prison com mission a plea for communication of Leo NJ. Franks sentence, in which he seeks to show by the testimony of the states own witness that Frank did not murder Mary Phagan, but that James Conley. negro, now serving a sentence as an accessory after the crime, was the slayer.
 Hugh M. Dorsey, solicitor general who prosecuted Frank, also gave out tonight his letter to the prison com mission opposing clemency for Frank declaring the facts and circum- stances surrounding the commission of the murder do not invoke the eXer- else of mercy or offer inducement to temper the renalty," and further that the fact that Franks conviction has been affirmed by both state and federal courts. despite the indefati- sable exertious of as influential f." ends in ann out oi Georgia . jGslfes my deep couy ction that the Crds of justice nave been accom- D pished by the pIoeress of law
 Mr Alexander explicitly states in his communication, which comprises approximately 25,000 words, that he makes his appeal on Franks behalf. not in his capacity as federal attor- ney but entirely in the capacity of a private citizen of Georgia, "who does not desire to see an innocent man hanged for another's crime" His ar gument starts with the proposition that Conley's admission that he WIT te the murder notes" found beside Mary Phagans body raises the con clusion that unless he c<n furnish a creditable explanation, Conley was the slayer.
 The whole question" writes Mir. Alexander, resolves itself into an in Quiry as to the truth of Conley's story. Agreeing to the proposition that the pPesumptions are in the pres ent status in favor of it's truth, pro- pose to show yOu, when, and why the story was manufactured, and l shall do this without referring to any tes- timony offered for the defense or stat ing any fact depending on that testi- mony"
 In the effort to fulfill this prom SC MT Alexander presents circumstances tending to show why the police were liable to be mistaken. and why the public failed at the time to perceive the importance of the discovery that Conley wrote the murder notes.' He also points out alleged inconsistencies in Conleys statements, and argues on the physical impossibility of material features in the negro's story. In this connection he says:

American cOmmiss ion appointed by Ambassador Page that the American steamer Nebraskan was torpedoed by a submarine.
 In German quarters the claim was persistent that the vessel struck a mine.
 Inasmuch as submarines Of the al- died powers have not attacked mer chantmen, the presumption of off cials is similar to that reached after an investigation of the attack on the Gulflight-that a German submarine was responsible and an inquiry to the German foreign office for it's report on the case was expected.
 The rreponderance Of evidence showing an attack oil the Nebraskan admittedly increased the tension in re lations wth Germany.
