A1H CHARLOTTE

New York, Feb. 5.-Part of the re-
sponsibilities for the skating craze
that has spread over the United
States this winter can be traced to
the gyrations on ice of the "Teuton
Top" the ''Whirling Wonder Char
lotte Oelschlaeger.
Charlotte-her last name is seldom
used in connection with her per-
formances on ice, has already cost
New York alone a sum estimated at
100000.
1t is figured that much has been
spent for skates, skating shoes, skat-
ing scarfs and skating costumes and
in restaurants adjoining Kinks since
Charlotte started the craze.
When Charlotte began to skate she
began to break into the newspapers
She gave lessons in newspapers. That
helped the spread.
Along with this it happened that
the public was found in just the prop
err mood to make skating fad. The
dance craze has been on for some
time. Some folks had actually

ROOSEVELT LIBEL
 CASE IS FACTOR
 IN POLITICS AGAIN

NEW YORK. April 27.-The grant ing of an extension of the time for Col. Theodore Roosevelt's counsel to prepare to meet the appeal of Will liam Barnes, Ji, from the verdict in the Roosevelt libel suit, has as- sumed political aspect of no small proportions. Barnes friends allege that Col. Roosevelt fears to have the case argued before the converting of the national convention, and asked for the extension Of time on that account
 For Roosevelt 1t is contended that Barnes did not intend, in good faith. to prosecute the appeal. But In De- cember. 1915, according to the Col onels belief, 1t became apparent to the political observers that there was growing demand for the nom nation of Col. Roosevelt for Presi- dent on the Republican ticket this year, and that Barnes only then de- cided to appeal in order to have the contentious involved in the case brought freshly before the people.
 Assuming to analyze the operations of Barnes's mind, his opponents then came to the conclusion that he be- lieved the argument of the appeal
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-04-27

question to be disposed of, he said, was whether this should be raised by loans or by taxes, and he an swered this by stating that the fun damental proposition in sound h- nance was that in times of peace and apart from extraordinary emer- gencies of 0 temporary character, loans should be utilized primarily for capital expenditure only. and that current expenditures should be de- frayed from tue current income" On this basis, he declared that war ships, having a comparatively short life, ought to be paid for out of tax es. while the construction of more costly chain of forts along the coast could prohtably be defrayed out of loans, because the Qualifications, once completed. will probably not have to be entirely replaced for Q generation or two. or at all events not within the period during which the loan has to TUT.
 Mir. Seligman said S1OO. O.0OO,OOO addl. tional revenue might be expected from an increase in the income tax in place of the continuance of the emergency revenue law. and 1t could be secured by lowering the eVemp- ton limit of incomes to $2,000, by increasing the normal tax per cent, and by drawing together the rates of supertax, so that higher rates will be paid on somewhat smaller incomes.

DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL
 WILL PROMOTE eTANDARD

DOUGLAS, April 2I-To the Edi. tor;-A Junior High School will be established in the Douglas High next year. A junior high school means the adoption of the seventh and eighth grades into the present. high school This would make our high school first class and also most up-to.date and popular kind of school giving more satisfaction to both the pupils and their parents.
 pr. Meisnest who recently inspect ed our high school for the UnIver- sity of Washington suggested the plan but it had been In the minds of the school board and the teachers for some time. The Douglas high schools becoming accredited helps to certain extent to establish this new high school. This new plan will add one more teacher In high school and also adds between thirty and forty pupils to the present high school. Having four High school techers 1t will be much more satis- factory for the pupils because before four teachers had been adopted to high school work there were but three. In that way pupil In most Instances would have to take the biggest part of his studies from one or two teachers where now he can try to have subject with every one of his four teachers, making the high school course more lp teresting. This plan will be more satisfactory for the teachers because 1t will en- able each teacher 10 teach his or her special subject only.
 Summing up the subject Of a Jun for High School 1t is my opinion and that of Miss Tracy, the princi- pal and many others that it will promote the standard of study of the pupils of the seventh and eighth grades. They will think, Well, I'm in high school now and must keep my studies up as they do in high school" It will also give the pu- pls of these grades the advantage of studying under four specialists who are college graduates
 A Junior High School also will encourage coming to school on ac. count of entering high school two ! years earlier and as 1t will do away with the eighth grade graduation 1t will encourage pupils to remain in school until they have finished high school As whole I think the adop. ton of this plan is the most up-to date thing that has ever happened to our school.

 NEW ISSUE

The government rested It's case
 against Krause shortly before noon
 today. This afternoon the attorneys
 for the defense filed a motion for a
 directed verdict in favor of the d.
 fendant. This was over-ruled. The attorneys for the defense then in'
 troduced the Edwards deposition concerning Christie's signatures and also those of Krause.
 The question as to whether or not William Christie was in funds at the tlme O, his disappearance was the point oi conflict in the abduction case against Edward Krause this morning. The question of the materiality of the fact was argued at length but Judge Jennings held that 1t could be proved by the government. It probably. was to establish a motive for the alleged crime.
 Albert E. Gurr, manager of the First Territorial Bank, testified that Christie had SSO4.5O in the bank October 90. and that 1t had been there for eight days. The account had been subject to check by either Christie or the latter's wife from two days after the wedding, A few days after the disappearance of Christie. at the suggestion of Mr. Gurr, Mrs. Christie transferred the

 This morning there was tilt be- .ween the court and Attorney Krauc- sunas for the defense. The latter lsked the court to instruct the Unit ed States District Attorney not to Ise language prejudicial to Krause In making his argument to the jury. The court informed the attorney that uch O course would be equivalent to Erecting that the district attorney made no spesch, as in an probability | .lI of his speech would be preiudic- al to tho defendant and would be made for that purpose
