A recent issue of the Fairbanks IInes contains that is purported to 5e d news dispatch which states that sne territorial delegate has introduc- I'd a ulu u congress asking for state aoVa TOT Alaska. While no news Of enIs porteutlous happening has been tecelVed here. as far as We are aware, tne statement is published in a re- AaD.e journal and may therefore be credited as either the truth or some curious piece Of transformation for whose lack of authenticity the paper can hardly be charged. The publica- tion also comments on at some length

And, We have a very distinct recollection that the delegate himself was exceedingly wrothy with the full territorial form of government" sup porters on his return from the last congressional session, contending that they already had the essentials of al full territorial form of government, best to let well enough alone. All of which indicates that the delegate at that time looked upon a form of goy- ernment approximately statehood as something either of no importance at the present time or as something too remote for present consideration. Yet, If the Fairbanks report be true. we find him offering a bill which asks for powers transcending those asked by the legislature, with which he found so much fault less than ten months ago.
 During that interval the papers of The First division have kept up sn unceasing howl for. statehood, ham, mering away at the subject with a vlgor worthy of moro exalted cause. The agitation has found no response in any other section of the territory, so far as can be seen. In fact no one outside of the First division seems to care a hang about statehood. Yet, ac- cording to the Fairbanks story, the delegate suddenly, and without con- sulting anyone, unless 1t be the First division. horn wileders, introduces a bill calling for statehood.

MOTHER REMOVES
ALL RACE DOUBT

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April A.
Robbed OF his birthrght for thirteen
years. George Hickman 10 years
old, who lived with a negro family
because his father deserted his moth
er upon his birth, has just been re-
claimed by his race.
Roioining his mother, the boy has
entered upon a new life under his
own name, which is not TO be divulg-
cd Through the interest his strange
case awakened in a wealthy Philadel-
phia family, he is TO have all the ad-
vantages of a preparatory school and
later college education.
To the efforts of Judge MacNeille,
OF Juvenile Court, Philadelphia, Is
due the happy future spreading be-
fore the lad, who six weeks ago had
no brighter outlook on life than that
afforded by hard-wOrking and kindly
negro foster-parents.
Judge MacNaillo was in quandary
for more than a month ondeavoring
to determine whether or not Hick-
man. the name given to him by his
fOster-parents. was white or black.
Blood tests were employed with no
definite result Identification OF tho
lad came Saturday through the boys
mother. who learned OF her child's
whereabouts indirectly through a
newspaper story.
The case arose when the lad was
held six weeks ago for playing truant.
Apparently he was OF the Caucasian
race. although he had been with the
negro family in Philadelphia since he
was weeks old. The boys skin is
quite white. while his sister" and
foster father and mother are very
dark.
Blood tests were made. but they
failed to remove the doubt as 10
