The Juneau Dispatch, h a recent iS- sue. gives a considerable amount of attention to the charges made by Ed ward Wade a former clerk on the office of Governor Strong, but who re- signed In order that he might file charges against the governor for keep ing a republican as his secretary. while so many good democrats are out of a job and also produces @ list of office holders who are ai- leged to be republicans. but who are still on the payroll, although the dem- ocrats have been In power for three years. The Nugget Is not concerned over the charges of Wade and has little interest In whether the federal appointed office, holders Of the terri tory are democrats or republicans but, ewing to the fact that about half of the list Is composed of names of resi- ent or former Nome people 1t Is here- with presented.

AN ARMY TRADE SCHOOL.
(Boston Record.

(Boston Record.
 Discussion or Secretary Garrison continental army plan has revealed one fundamental objection. thus stated by .ne NeM York Mail.
 While tue war in Europe lasts and ne American people are inspired with nigh patriotism. It may not be ditti l. -ult to get lS3.Oo0 men year to join ne continental army. and to make .acritices for the training involved. out let peace settle down upon the -arth once more and the inspiration sll be gone. Recruiting for the fed yral militia will be even more dith- cult than recruiting for the state Inil- tia, because greater sacrifices are de- handed. Employes will not be so .enient about letting men off for two months training every year. The con linental army win dwindle away, and n ten years 1t will have disappeared entirely and all the millions that have been spend upon It's equipment and training will be lost.
 Army men in New York. according to the Evening Post, prefer as an al- ternatlye plan the establishment of a number of training camps, similar to that at Plattsburg this summer which shall be open all the year round, and to which citizens will be welcome to go for as long or short time as may be convenient to their civil occupations:
 While there they would receive board. lodging. uniform. equipment and army pay; and the government 1t Is pointed out might establish trade schools in connection with these train ing camps. where, in addition to drill ing, men would be provided with a chance in their odd moments of i'm proving their wage earning capacities as civilians.
 In the military district of the east, there are never fewer than 10o,oo lble-bodied unemployed men. many of whom might jump at such a chance The cost, 1t Is figured. would be less than that of the continental army. and the social benefit obviously greater.

Seward was visited by the noisest earthquake of its history at 7:10 o'clock on the night of October Is, according to the Post of that city. The seismic disturbance was preceded by roar similar to that produced by the ex- plosion of blasting powder at some depth beneath the surface. The move ment of the earth continued for sev- eral seconds with a sharp upward jerk. No damage has been reported other than the cracking of some chandelier shades hung close together in Cho- vin's electrical supply store. A few bottles and cans were shaken from the shelves of Brown & Hawkins and George Phelps stores. After the first quake there was quite a noise of rocks rattllng down the hill up Lowell creek canyon and just thirty minutes later there was second but much lighter shock. The noise startled every one, and down town stores and hotels were cleared In jig time. Reports from out the line show that the shock was heavy at Mile 34 and also at Bird Point on Turnagain Arm.

JONES CONFERS
WITH WILLARD
ON BIG BATTLE
Definite Decision on Match
With Moran to Be
Made Today
CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Feb. 16-Tom Jones ex-
poets to be able TO tell a waiting world
some time today whether the Willard
Moran match will be postponed or can
celed. The manager who made three
champions dropped off fast train from
New York at o'clock this morning and
hustled out to the Willard residence in
Rogers Park. where he consulted the
worlds heavyweight champion concern
ing his present physical ailments.
If they be such that in the opinion
of Jones and the battler 1t is necessary
to call off the match entirely II will be
called off, never fear. II they necessitate
postponemont of a couple of weeks
such a postponement Will be in order,
else there will be no fight.
One thing is certain, the gladiators
will not mingle on March 8. the date
on which Tex Richard hoped to dump
them into Madison Square Garden be-
fore recordbreaking house willard
has announced from the inner recesses of
his homo that there positively will be
a postponement no matter what the pro-
moterS and Stockholders do with his for
felt money
Jess is willing and eager to muss with
the Pittsburgh redhead, but there Is no
chance at all TO drag him into the ring
with Frank until he iS fit to do himself
sting him financially.
Willard, in statement sent out from
his house, said:
There is no chance for me to fight on
March S. Jones will realize that when he
sees me today. | may not be able to
train for couple of weeks, and. as you
know, l will need plenty of work to get
ready for a tough, hard hitter like Moran.
II will insist on being In the best of
condition before l fight anybody The
heavyweight championship Is too precious
financially to risk when one is not in
trim. March % sounds pretty good to me-
and 1 sincerely hope L will be able to 60
through with the engagement on that
date"
At first it was decided. In case Of a
postponement, TO hold the bout at the
Garden on March 2S. This date is held
by Jack Curley, who had planned to hold
n wrestling bout on that night. Curley
offered to give up his date for the fight,
but Rickard is superstitious, and when
he learned that he could get Friday night,
March 81, for the bout, he decided to
hold it at that time in case of a post
ponement. Rickard thinks that Friday
is n lucky day, as he has consummated
thing definite from Jones today.
Rickard stopped the printing of the date
on the tickets until he ascertains some
thing definite from Jones tomorrow.
The promoter has also decided that in
stead of having the ringside seats divided
into boxes, he will arrange them in rows
of plush theatre seats. which Will be more
comfortable for the spectators who will
pay S25 to see the show The theatre
seats, according to Rickard, may also at
tract more women spectators than the
boxes

LOSS OF ROBINSON WILL
SPOIL MICHIGAN'S CHANCE
Mike Murphy Product
Declared Ineligible
to Represent Wolver-
ines in Intercolle-
giates

HNHE University Of Michigan track team
i received terrific blow when It was
announced today that Arthur Robinson,
holder Of every worlds scholastic sprint
record, and rated as one of the best 100
and 220 dash men in the country, was
declared ineligible by the faculty because
he failed to live up to scholastic require
ments.
Robinson's loss will prevent Michigan
from sweeping the sprints in the inter
colleglates and practically ruins the
chance of the Wolverines to win the cham
pionship. With Robinson running the
100. 220 and 440 yard dashes and Harold
Smith, the 100 and ego yard champion
eligible. Michigan hoped to annex two
frsts and two seconds In the shorter
sprints, while II was Coach Farrelrs be-
lief that Robinson also would win the
quarter-mtie from Ted Meredith unless the
Penn flyer could break the record
With these points practically assured
In the sprints, barring accidents, Mlchl-
gan would not have needed more than an
average team for the distance runs and
field events to force another institution
to score more points than are generally
necessary to win the meet
For the benefit of those who do not re-
member who this youth Is let it be ex-
plained that he is the former Mercerburg
star who at a meet on the State College
track two years ago was credited with a
record of 3.5 seconds for 100 yards and
20 As seconds for the 220 yards He is
now n sophomore Mt the University of
Michigan and will have his first taste of
Intercollegiate competition this spring
Steve Farrell, his coach, is confident he
will make good and also prove the au.

performances he has tried in vain to get
on the A. A. u. books.
