STRONG PRESIDFS AT
 GRIGSBY'S MEETING

JUNEAU, Oct. S-Governor Strong presided last night at the meeting addressed by George Grigsby and the house was crowded notwithstanding the fact that several other attractions were offering in the city. Three quarters of the speech were devoted to Wickersham but the speaker also exposed Cobbs treason to Democracy. He explained Schofelds criticism O, himself and showed Schofcd's resi- dcnce to be Seattle, He characterized the supporters of Wickcrsham as of three classes: Hero worshippers who refuse to see facts, those who regard him as a fighter and those who vote for him to get even with someone else. Mr. Grigsby produced records to show he was not a fighter, that he is inef- fcicnt and that he imposes on the credulity of the people by mis-stating facts. The speaker showed that Mir. Wickersham never led in progressive matters but grabbed the tail end Of some progressive movement and usually pulled back instead of pushing ahead. The speech was very well re- ceiyed The report sent out from here that the betting is two to one that Wickersham will carry the First di- vision is not true. Grigsby's meeting last night was called to order by Mayor Stewart who introduced the governor. The governor spoke in eulogy of Grigsby and urged the peo- pie to vote for him.

$4,000 A YEAR NOT ENOUGH.
Four Year-0ld Astor Heir Declared
to Need Bigger Allowance,

NEW YORK, April 29-It costs a
little more than 5 cents a minute to
support the four-year old, posthumous
heir of the late Col. John Jacob Aston,
a victim of the Titanic disaster, &C
cording to an accounting filed here
with the surrogate by the childs
mother and guardian. Mrs. Madeleine
Talmase Force Aston Although 100000
a. year was allowed by the court for
the maintenance of the child Mrs. AS
tor declared it had been impossible to
supply all his wants with that amount.
During the last year. she said his eX
penses were s27.593.
The accounting showed that mer-
chants received SS61.42 from Mrs. AS
tor in payment of goods purchased
for her sons personal use during the
year. Attorneys fees and legal dis
bursements for the boy amounted to
$1.256.75. Although he was not very
i'll during the year. his physicians re-
ceived 1929.
Since the youthful heir lives with his
mother in the old -Astor home on 5th
avenue, it has been deemed proper that
he should bear one-third of the up
keep of the establishment The taxes
on the place amounted to s35.53O and
the sons share was s11.S43.33. The
general upkeep of the home cost
$4,000, of which the boy was as
sessed $9,666.67.

CHARGES AGAINST HOLLIS
MEASURE ARE DISPUTED
Senator Thompson Denies Rural
Credits Bill Is Impractical.
Says Farmers Favor It.

Charges that the Hollis rural credits
bill was impractical and that the farm
ers would not avail themselves of its
opportunities were disputed today by
Senator Thompson of Kansas. who ad-
vocated the passage of the bill. He
said he had received hundreds of COM
munications from farmers inquiring
about the measure and expressing
wish to enter into 1t as soon as the
bill became a law.
The bill proposes to do for farmers
what the federal reserve system does
for the bankers" he said, land SINH
lar charge that the bankers would not
enter the system was made against the
reserve system. No sooner was it es-
banks literally tumbled over themselves
to enter"
He introduced tables showing that In
1890 only 2S.2 per cent of the farms in
the country were mortgaged; in 1900
there were 81 per cent, and in 1910. 33 s
per cent. The mortgage debt on farm
homes in the United States was S1,I26,-
1881. he said.
Opposition to the section providing
exemption from taxation was resumed.
Senator Reed Smoot declaring he
would support the bill if that feature
were removed Its effect would be to
particularly trust companies doing
business along the lines the bill pro-
poses," he said. Il believe it IS I'M
fair and unjust and would bring more
suffering TO the people than it can pos
sibly do good"

NEW PROPOSAL BY MINERS.
Offers Hope of Settlement in the An.
thracite Controversy.

NEW YORK. April 29.-Both oper-
ators and miners were still standing
firm today when their subcommittee
went into conference in an effort, to
reach a final settlement of their diff
ferences which threaten to bring on a
strike among $4,000 miners in the
anthracite fields. Unless such an agree
ment is reached today, it was said by
representatives of the miners, a strike
would undoubtedly ensue.
Hope for a settlement was based on
a reported new proposal by the miners
insisting upon the recognition of their
union, but without any liability on the
part of the operators for the collection
of union dues and assessments, the lat
ter being a concession. The proposal
included also a demand for a 10 per
cent wage increase instead of the per
cent offered by the operators.
The final answer of the operators will
be submitted to the miners at the lat
ter's convention in Pottsville, Pa,
next Tuesday.

TAKES NO STEPS TO PROBE
IRISH ACTIVITIES IN THE u. S.

can neutrality laws had been violated.
Although Sir Roger Easement was re-
ported to have solicited funds openly
in this country In the fall Of 1914 for
Irish organizations. and the attitude of
many Irish sympathizers in this coun-
try is well known to the department,
thus far there have been no official in
dications that the activities of these
sympathizers had resulted in a VIOLA
ton of American neutrality laws. The
solicitation of funds by Sir Roger Case
ment was not investigated. 1t was said.
inasmuch il was believed he was
within his legal rights.
The sending of money by sympa
thizers in the United States to the Sim
Fen in Ireland and to other organiza-
tons or revolutionists would not, Of
ficials pointed out, constitute a viola
ton of American neutrality. Even the
sending of arms to the Sim Fem So
ciety would not alone constitute a vio-
lation of neutrality. the officials said.
Officials are uniformed as to the ex-
tent of the aid given financially or by
shipments of arms, if any. by SYM
pathizers to the revolutionists.
