LABOR UNION AT ANCHORAGE |S
 CONSERVATIVE

C. H. Packard, a former Cordova newspaper man, who is the Daily Times special correspondent at An chorage, has been elected president of the Alaska Labor Union at that place, whose membership now exceeds 1900.
 President John Sutherland, whose resignation several weeks ago the union declined to accept, and tabled temporarily, and who has successfully piloted the organization through the most critical period of it's existence, requested that immediate action be taken on the resignation and his sue cessor be elected. as he would not be present at future meetings, because of business reasons. The resignation was accepted. Several candidates were named, but all withdrew before a vote was taken in favor of MT. Pack ard, who was elected by exclamation. Mir. Packard has been one of the ac- tive workers for the union since its start, and is a Washington state pio- neer in the movement to better the condition of those who toll.
 There were about TOO present at the meeting. Considerable impatience was evident of what to some seemed an unnecessary delay in securing the desired raise in wages. but the pre- vailing sentiment was in favor of giv- ing the arbitration and cOnciliation board ample time to investigate and report, as the great majority of good for Anchorage and the whole of Alas ka may be accomplished by cool, care ful and deliberate action, while great evil might otherwise be the result
 The boys feel that they have the unanimous support of all classes of the people in this vicinity, and they are not disposed to be dictatorial or to nullify the good already accom- plished and by nasty action endanger the future of the country" said prominent member.

ELECTRIC STORM
HITS TR|-C|T|ES
Bowling Alley Building of Outing Club
in Davenport Destroyed by Fire from
Lightning Last Night.
Phone Service in South Rock Island
Crippled and Numerous Trees Are
Struck by Bolts.

| A severe electrical storm swept the
tri-cities last night, causing losses
amounting to hundreds of dollars and
mountaineering public utilities COM
panies Possibly the greatest damage
was done in Davenport, the bowling
alley of the Outing club on Brady
street being completely destroyed in
fire caused by lightning bolt.
Telephone service, especially
throughout South Rock Island, was
badly crippled today and several of
! the toll lines suffered. Several large
trees in various parts of the city were
struck by lightning bolts and others
! blown down.
| One of the large machines at the
Sears power plant burned out several
| feet of cable at O'Clock this morning,
putting it out of commission for sew
eral hours, but this accident was not
attributed to the storm.
The damage at the Outing club in
Davenport will reach $500, accord
ing to a statement made by Ed Muei-
Ter, president of the club. The bowling
alleys building, which is situated just
! to the south of the main club building,
was struck by lightning at 1890 last
night. An hour later the two-story
structure lay heap of ashes. An en-
ploye who was asleep in the building
at the time escaped injury because he
was in the west end of the building
and the bolt struck in the corner of
the building at the extreme east end.
The flames spread quickly and a
northeast wind saved the main club
house from destruction.
New Alleys Just Laid.
Four brand new alleys had just been
laid in the building and numerous
balls and bowling pins were stored
there On the second story OF the
building was stored a number OF
benches used on che lawn in the sum
mer. The building was put up Is
years ago, but had been overhauled at
various times since.

CITY WILL DROP
PARK LEVY VOTE
Rock Island to Call OF Referendum
on Three.M Tax Because of At
tOrney Generals Ruling.

There will be no special election in
Rock Island on Tuesday, June 81, to
vote on the special three-mill tax levy
for park purposes.
An opinion received by City Attor-
ney J. X. Scott today from Attorney
General Lucey is that the election
would not be legal. The question may
be voted on at regular election or at
a special election called for another
referendum, but no special election can
be called solely for vote on the tax
levy.
This means that parks will only be
maintained in Rock Island this year.
Improvement of the beauty spots will
be curbed, as the money for the parks
will have to come out of the general
fund
Cost of a special election is about
$1,000 City officials declared that an
annexation project could be pushed
and presented to vote of the people
and the park tax levy voted upon at
that time. 1t is doubtful, however, if
this will be done.
All the news all the time-The
Argus.

TELLS THRILLING
HISTORY OF LIFE
Native Born American OF Pro. German
Sympathies, Admits Deserving
From English Army.
Is HELD HERE on RECENT DEAL
Or. Alfred f. Staps, Soldier of For.
tune, Informs Court That Villa
viii Recommend Him.

A native born American citizen of
pro-German sympathies, deserter
from the English army, sat in Rock
Island police court today and said,
Villa will recommend me-"
He is DR.. Alfred f. Staps. soldier
Of fortune. who was arrested bv no.
lice 20 days ago after two unsuccess-
ful attempts to pass forged checks.
To States Attorney Floyd Thompson
he recited the story Of his life. never
hesitating in the narrative except at
times when he stopped to jog his mem
ory on a name or a date.
Born III America, OF German naren-
tage, when he was four years old he
was taken TO Germany by his par
ents. He studied medicine at Heidel-
berg. At the outbreak of the Spanish
American war he came to the United
States and enlisted, later seeing active
service.
He Joined the United States army at
the close of the war in 1898 and was
a hospital steward at various posts.
receiving an honorable discharge at
Fort Smelling, Minneapolis, several
wears later. Then he went TO Column
hus. Mexico, a village of about 600 in
habitants. near where a number of
mines were situated He was the
mine physician and owned a drug store
in that place. He passed through all
of the revolutions and strife in the
country to the south and came into
possession of 1000 acres of land.
Being an American citizen, when the
III IL
crisis and the mines shut down. he
left there and later located in Mon
treal Canada. Here he joined the
English army and after remaining
there two months he deserted at j
time when preparations were being
made to send troops to Europe, he
said.
Villa His Reference.
He wandered around in several cit
les and finally arrived in Chicago, lat
er going to Peru. He said while in
Peru he met a man who gave him the
checks which he attempted to pass
here.
Your story is interesting" said
States Attorney Thompson, but real
" | would like to get a letter of rec
Ommendation from somebody before
take any further steps one way or the
other"
villa will recommend me-" Staps
said. He knows me. Write to him
That's good" the states attorney
smiled. IF you could tell US where
We could catch Villa with letter wed
send the United States army there"
Staps failed to see the humorous
point in the remark and his face con-
tinued to bear the same serious look
that it had during the entire time he
was telling his story.
He did give the states attorney ad-
dresses of several persons whom he
said would recommend him. Included
in the list are army officers. DR.. Staps
shows an honorable discharge from
United States army. a diploma from the
Heidelberg university and other pa
pers and letters which bear out the
truth of his story. Authorities be-
Iieve implicitly in his tale with the
exception OF that part Of it which deals
with the checks.
Continue Case.
Pending further investigation the
