Grand Jury Wants
 Many Changes Made
Says Could Not Examine Records ol Dist. Atty. Because Not
 Up tO Date.

In its report the Grand Jury which has just adjourned at Valdez praises the work of the various officials but says it was unable to learn the work ings of the district attorneys office because the records of that office were not up to date. The following is the paragraph dealing with the district attorney:
 "We visited the office of the U. S District Attorney and were unable to determine from the records the re suits of the recent workings of this office, owing to the fact that they haC not been posted up to date. We were informed by the office that they were a month behind in their postings."
 The jury also went on record against the proposed Alexander fsh law, and declared itself in favor of leaving the fisheries in the hands of the territory. It asked for the opera tions of hatcheries under government supervision. CCher recommendations were that liquor be given to no Indian whether he has adopted the white mans customs or not, that better nail service be given Bristol Say lnd other places, that funds be provided to enable the marshal to investigate crime in outlying districts and that deputy marshals be given launches in remote places. The jury also asked that as some pupils of schools in in corporated cities are not children of taxpayers some of the territorial funds be used to support schools in towns.

SAYS WILSON WILL
 CARRY NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Oct POW. w. Jermane, a Republican, and supporter of Hughes, Eastern correspondent for Minneapolis, Kansas City and Seattle newspapers, telegraphing to papers he represents-today, said that the concensus of opinion about New York is arriving at the conclusion that President Wilson will be reelected. He explains the situation by saying:
 "The presidential campaign has been one of dullness, Considered merely as campaign, which it would be difficult to duplicate Tn the political history of the country. This is the thing that has made it uncertain as to the results; nay, more, it is one of the things that have caused many Republicans a great deal of uneasi- ness, for, if the country were serious ly considering a change of admins tration, the forces seeking to bring it about would be up and doing from morning till night Absence of deep interest in the campaign, therefore, is taken to mean by a good many per sons as indicating that it is the pur- pose of the country to continue Demo- cratic control for another four years"

What It Means

With the election of Hughes, Con- gressman Johnson will become chair man of the House committee on Ter ritories. The election of Delegate Wickersham and his support of the Hughes policies, together with the as sistance of Congressman Johnson as chairman of the committee on terri tories and that of other Republicans, will insure the passage of measure for an additional delegate in Con- gress.

SuIZCr To Speak
 hCrO Tomorrow

George Phelps received a cable this morning from National Committee man T. J. Donohue stating that Charles Sulzer will arrive on the Mariposa and will address a meeting here tomorrow evening, Friday. Jack Roman, Democratic candidate for the senate, will come with him. Mir. Donahue says that Mir. Sulzer had a most successful meeting in COrdOva last night and will speak at Valdez to- night. After leaving Seward he will spend the remainder of the time at Anchorage. The cable says the Cor dova people were enthusiastic in his favor and that everything looks fine for him throughout the territory. On the other hand, word has come that Wickersham says Sulzer will not poll as many votes as Bunnell. So there you are. Harvey Sellers, the union representative of Sulzer, who passed by on the Farragut this morning said he honestly believes that Sulzec has a good chance to win. Mir. Sellers bases this belief evidently on the fact that Sulzer has proved himself in the most material way a friend of union labor and of the things for which union labor stands.
