Alaska Birds and Animals

Alaska b1rQS ana AnlmalS
 Congress once upon a time divided jurisdiction over the wild animals of Alaska between two departments of the government in manner that has often evoked wild hilarity-and some profan. ity. It held the brown bear, for exam pie, to be a game bird, and hence under the jurisdiction of the biological survey in the department of agriculture, while the brown bears little brother, the black bear was classified as a fur-bear- ing animal and thus under the jurisdic tiou of the bureau of fisheries in the department of commerce.
 Under the peculiarities of this law a permit to kill fox could only be obtained from the biological survey, while a permit to trap one alive had to be obtained from the bureau of Asher ies.
 Secretary Lane of the department of the interior in bis repeated arguments for unifcation of control over Alaska, used some stiDgingly sarcastic lan- guage on this subject.
 Accordingly the two departments, agriculture aud commerce, having ju risdiotion over Alaskan wild animals, have got together and worked out a new distribution scheme, which they have drafted iu a bill, and this bill, H. R. 10393, has been introduced by Rep resentative J. w. Alexander and is now before the committee on territories The basis of the distribution is roughly @ division between the terrestrial and the aquatic animals.
 Under it all bears, blondes and bru- nettes alike, go under the control of the biological survey. Seals, sea lione, sea otter, walrusses and the like go under the jurisdiction of the bureau of fisheries. Under existing law walruses and sea lions are game birds and belong to the biological survey, but seals and sea lions have been hsb, under the fisheries bureau.
 After much debate it was decided in the conference that tbe muskrat is more of a terrestrial than an aquatic animal, and so she mnskrst goes to the biological survey.
 The idea seems to be that any animal after which the hunter goes equipped like a fisherman falls under the juris- diction of the bureau of fisheries; any thing he goes after equipped like a nimrod is within the jurisdiction of Che biological survey. It relieves the bureau of fisheries of lot of fussing with animals that dwell far from the sea, the skunk, for one, which, not being a game animal, is classed with salmon and seal under existing law The only animals, in addition to real sea animals, that are left to the bureau of fisheries are the foxes that live on the Pribilof islands, otherwise the seal rookeries. The bureau of fisheries keeps these foxes for the dual purpose of having them eat the waste seal meat after a killing, and for their fur. The scheme is this: The seal fattens him. self at sea, When be is good aud fat the government kills him and sells his hide. Then @ fox grows fat on the carcass of the seal, and when be is nice and fat and bis fur exceedingly glossy, the government kills him and peddles the pelt also. The only waste in the operation is the carcass of the fox. Even the natives will not eat that.

concurrent but subordinate super
vision with the chief of police OF
ali other matters relating to the
Office of policewoman.'
The amendment introduced by Com
missioner Dahl and passed by the
votes Of Mayor H. +, Emery and Com
missioners Alex Stern and Dahl, reads
as follows:
THE policewoman shall be
under the control and supervision
of the chief of police, and shall
possess the same power as police
officers. and shall perform such
duties pertaining to her office as
may be necessary"
With the amendment the ordinance
was passed, and it was this passage
that called forth the above statement
OF Commissioner Blakemore.
When the trouble arose last winter
that resulted in the retirement OF Mrs.
Poppler from the Office of policewom-
an. a delegation OF citizens appeared
before the commission and desired that
the poltcewoman be given jurisdiction
over cases in which children and
young women are principals, and as
result the ordinance. as originally
constituted, was presented.
o. Commissioner Blakemore made a
strong plea for the passage of the
original ordinance, among other things
stating that under the amendment the
policewoman would have to reveal to
the chief of police. some things that
might be given her in confidence by
young girls. or stand as being guilty

Has No Original
Jurisdiction Over
Children and Women

'You have no policewoman now.
You have created simply another
patrolman, only of different sex," !"
said Comr. r. b. Blakemore this
morning after the city commission had
passed an amendment to the police
woman ordinance, which was placed
on its first reading several months ago,
but which has been hanging fire ever
since.
BY vote of three to two, Commits
sioners Blakemore and Joseph Ames
voting against it, an amendment intro
duced by Commissioner of Police j. IL.
Dahl, was carried and the ordinance
was declared on it's second reading and
passage by the same vote.
The matter was brought up by Com
missioner BIakemore, who stated that
Mr.. Dahl had been asked several times
to bring up the ordinance but had not
done so, probably for the reason that
the ordinance under consideration was
presented by himself. He called for
the reading of the ordinance and this
was done. Mr.. Dahl then introduced
his amendment with the above re-
suit.
The ordinance creates the Office of
policewoman, fixes the salary, and
bond. and in section No. defines her
duties. 1t is this section on which
there was a contest f..
This section in the original ordin-
ance reads as follows:
"The policewoman shall possess
the same powers as police officers,
and shall perform such duties per-
tanning to her office as may be
necessary, and have general super
vision OF all matters pertaining to

hoped the United States might be Of
assistance ultimately in restoring
peace to Europe. The reply of the
president was conveyed through Mon
signor Bonzano, apostolic delegate
here who delivered the Pope's message
to the White House.
White House officials refused to dis
cuss the Pope's message or the reply
of the president but in other Quarters
it was indicated definitely that the ex-
change of messages had only remotely
to do with the question of peace in
Europe.
The president is understood to have
informed the Pope that he was eager
to keep the United States out of war,
and would do everything possible con-
sistent with maintaining the honor
and rights Of the United States.
Neither message will be made public.
At the White House it was said that
nothing was known of the mission to
this country of Secretary Grew of the
American embassy in Berlin. who is
now on his way to the United States.
1t has been suggested that possibly
he might be bringing a message from
Emperor William to President Wilson.

Times Opposes Hughes.

The New York Times editorially says
The nomination Of Mr.. Hughes must bear
to foreign observers bewildering likeness
to an express Endorsement Of the admins
tration Of Woodrow Wilson. He is man
of the same type, conservative, deliberate,
accustomed to consider carefully the con-
sequences Of his acts, never rash. never
yielding to hasty impulse or swayed by
the heat Of passion, yet withal inferior
in capacity and experience.
Mr.. Hughes will not be elected. His de-
feat is to be desired, among many other rea-
sons. for this good and sufficient reason
that the invasion Of the Supreme Courts
chamber by needy politicians in search Of
a leader. now for the first time in Amer.
can history successfully accomplished. may
be rebuked and made precedent too dan
gerous for following.

Mexico's Demand.

Unless the increasing seriousness Of con-
ditions in Mexico forces action, dispatch Of
the reply to General Cananza's demand for
withdrawal of American troops probably
will be delayed until after the St. Louis
convention. because the Administration
desires to avoid any drastic step at a time
when it might appear to be prompted by
political influences. Il was SEATED posi-
lively that the Washington Government
was considering no aggressive action to be
taken OF its own motion. but stood ready
to act should assaults on Americans or an
attack on General Pershing's forces force
the issue.

Opposed To Adanson Bill.

Representative J. Charles Linthicum, in
a letter to Osborne l. Yellott. Of Baltimore.
attorney for the Maryland Automobile
Association, has declared that he cannot
support the Adamson bill, which, in effect,
would give the automobile owners Of Wash
ineton free use Of the Maryland roads
without payment Of license fee. This
bill is now pending in the House, with no
chance Of passage at the present session
Of Congress. Mr.. Yellott recently wrote
Mr.. Linthicum asking to give the measure
his support.
Mr.. Linthicum, in his letter. while COM
mendine reciprocal arrangements as to
auto licenses between States, says the
District Of Columbia stands in very diff
ferent relation to Maryland. In the first
place. the license fee in the District Of
Columbia is 81 during the entire owner
ship of the car and So for operators license
perpetually. and. second, the District has no
roads to offer to residentso Of Maryland. while
they continually use the highways Of the
State.
Il can see no objection TO residents OF
the District Of Columbia paying the license
fee when they obtain the use Of 10000
900 worth of roads" Mr.. Linthicum wrote.
