ROW OVER POST OFFICE
PUT UP TO PRESIDENT
Postmaster General Burleson and
Representative Sam Nichols
Now at Loggerheads.

President Wilson has before him al
Shadow Lawn a red hot little row be-
tween Postmaster General Burleson
and Representative Sam Nichols OF
South Carolina over the post Office at
Greenville. that state.
David Traxler, the postmaster there,
took it into his head to run against
Representative Nichols for the pri-
mary nomination for Congress. That
he might make the race properly. he
sent his resignation to the Post Office
Department and entered into the fray
with great energy. By suggestion of
Mr.. Nichols the resignation was not
accepted at the time of presentation,
Mr.. Nichols preferring to wait until
after the results of the primaries be-
fore deciding upon selecting one of
the numerous candidates in the field
to succeed Mr.. Trailer. Mr.. Nichols
won in the primary. defeating Traxler
by a large majority.
ommend a postmaster he found Post
master General Burleson rather in
clined. according to reports, to leave
Mr.. Traxler In his job by not accepting
the resignation. This did not suit Mr..
Nichols by any means. as he was COM
mitted to one Of his friends for the
position. Mr.. Burleson has remained
obdurate, and finally Mr.. Nichols went
to Shadow Lawn to communicate his
troubles directly to the President, with
what results it is not yet known.

NEW YORK, October 26.-william M.
Chase, long regarded as one Of the fore
most artists Of the country, died at his
eighth year.
Mr.. Chase had specialized in por-
traits and figure pieces. and had been
recognized as a leader in American art
circles for more than a quarter of a
century.
He was born at Franklin, Ind, and
received his early education at Indian
apolis, where his father was a dealer
in shoes. He studied at the National
Academy of Design, and subsequently
opened a studio in st. Louis, painting
fruit and flower pieces there with such
success that he was enabled to go
abroad in 1874.
For several years Mr.. Chase was a
student at the Munich Academy; Later
spent a year in Venice, and in 1878 re-
turned to America, opening a studio in
New York. He first exhibited at the
Academy of Design in 1877
Interpreter of Nature.
Among the earliest of Mr.. Chase's
pictures to attract attention was that
Of a girl. entitled Ready for Ride"
Many transcripts of picturesque spots
in New York and Brooklyn parks and
along the water fronts are said to have
done much to place him before the
public as a thoroughly individual and
artistic Interpreter of nature.
The artist travelled a great deal in
Europe and has been honored many
times abroad. He was twice president
of the Society of American Artists and
was elected a national academician in
1890 He is represented in the Metro

Clergymen of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church will no longer advise dy-
ing persons as to the disposal Of their
property. if the house of bishops con-

This action would eliminate from

SKAGwAY SCHOOL

LoyaEty and enthusiasm on the part of the graduating pupils for the Skagway Schools and the teach CTS tU whom has been entrusted the laJorious task of guiding the foot steps of the younger gentry of this community, sptsaks for the work that has been dOns by the schools the past year.

This be- ccmes ou the more magnified by the fact that the Skagway schools are operated at less cost per oapi- "a Der month than any school Cp- erating In the northland.
 The work of the domestic science classes was evidenced by the beaud- tuI dresses worn by he members of tue graduating claS5es last night.

 The manual training departments serve d purpose wI'b the boys which can be filled by no other course. As the year has advanced and the work turned out by the hoys has been displayed to the school board they could not but help be thankful that they had advocated the adoption of that course 10 the school curriculum.

ALASKA COAL LEASES

After having been tied up beyond the possibility of use for something like eight or nine yeL-s, there is now a chance that the coal fields Of Alaska may be developed. The department of interior has at last perfected regulations under which it is yrepgred to lease considerable areas iu both the Boring river and the Matauuska coal fields, providing capital is willing to enter upon the work Of development.
 The regulations seem fair enough. Leases rua for fifty years, which Is about ne ordinary lifetime of cor poratiOus created under the laws of many states. The royalty of ? cents a ton for the first five years and 5 cents a ton thereafter is ex- tremely moderate. In any event it is a charge certain to he passed on to the consumer. The form of the lease is in general that prevailing in private ownership iE the West Vir- ginIa coal fields.
 These regulations will not deter capital from entering the field, prOyiding there Is fair assurance that the mining companies will not thereafter be harassed by constant interference in their business and attempts at even closer regulation of 1t. The field is an inviting one in many respects, although the re wards fer capital investment will reach no such magnificent figures as were given in the fantastic esti- mates Of professional conservation ists, who succeeded for so many years in keeping the coal resouces of Alaska locked up, for the bene- fit of fuel producers elsewhere.
 The opening of the coal mines of the Matanuska field, as a business proposition, is essential to the profitable operation Of the railroad which the government Is now build ing in Alaska. They will be the main source Of tonnage for that road. The private corporation whieh originally undertook that con-
