HOKE SMITH CALLS

WASHINGTON: Great Britain's

 the subject of vigorous and ex- |haustive speech in the senate by Speaker Hoke Smith, who pleaded for action to prevent England from ad- |vancing, her own trade at the expense of the United States, while attempting to destroy Germany commercially. Senator Smith declared the rights |of citizens of the United States and other neutral nations were being "recklessly disregarded," and empha.
 sized particularly what he denounced as Great Britain's lawless treatment |of America's cotton trade" He as- serted that cotton had not been used or needed by Germany or her allies lin the manufacture of war munitions

WHELPLEY CASE
 WAS DISMISSED
Case Will be Brought Before Dis trict Court which will Present
 Many Difficult Problems.

The case of'F. E. Whelpley, the fox
 raiser, who had been arrested at
 Unga on the charge of trespassing
 was tried in the United States Con-
 missioner's court yesterday and re-
 suited in the charge against defen-
 dant being dismissed. It is under
 stood that the dismissal of the crim-
 inal charge will be followed by civil
 action which will present number
 hard problems for the district court i to solve.
 From the testimony in the case it
 appears that away back in 1894 a man named Carlson took possession of Little Koniuji island, which is one of the Shumagin group and estab- lished fox ranch on it. In 1902 Carlson sold his possessory rights to Ia man named Reed, who also con- tinued in the fox raising business un- til 1913, when he disposed of his in- terests to Whelpley for $4000.
 After Whelpley had come into pos session of the island the department of Commerce advertised number of fox islands for lease to the highest bidder. Little Koniuji was one of the number and Whelpley bid $200, but Andrew Grosvold, who owns a number of fox ranches in the district secured the lease by bidding $205. His lease authorized him to take posses sion of the island on July 1, 1914, but Whelpley retained possession un- til recently when Grosvold had him arrested on the charge of trespass- ling. The case was brought before Commissioner Driffield at Unga, but as the latter has close business rela- itions with Grosvold the defendant asked for and was granted change 'of venue. The law requires that when a change of venue is granted that the case be tried before the clos est commissioner, which in this case would have been at Unalaska. Coun- gel for plaintiff entered demurrer to having the case tried here but Acting U. s. Commissioner Dimond held that the case came within his jurisdiction and the demurrer was dismissed. In his answer to the complaint Whelpley states that when he was ar rested that he had foxes on the island to the value of fourteen thousand dol ! lars in addition to several valuable buildings. It is understood that he charges Grosvold with using his off, cial capacity in obtaining the lease

JACK RAD0v|CH
 IS IMPROVING at Post Complain of the Manner in Which Sick Miner Was Left on Post Wharf.

Jack Radovich, the well known miner, who has been close to death in the hospital at Fort Liscum as q result of exposure at Shoup Bay. is reported to be improving and has passed the danger point.
 The officers at the Post complain of the manner in which Radovich was handled by the men who took him across the bay and landed him on the wharf at the Post. It is stated that the sick man was unloaded from the launch and although he was unable to walk no effort was made to notify the hospital authorities or others oE his presence, and had it not been that men were working on the wharf the sick man might have perished from the cold or fallen into the bay.
 Alaskans are supposed to be fa- nous for their sympathy and liber- ality in caring for unfortunates but the men at the Post all appear to he from Pike county, as no effort has been made on the part of the min er's friends to provide for his com fort.
 The authorities at the Post say they have no grievance against unfortu' nate civilians being taken to the hos |pital there when in need of care, but they believe that some consideration should be shown for the feelings o1 the unfortunates before they reach the hospital. absorbing the commerce of Germany

SEWARD CAMPAIGN
 FOR PREPAREDNESS
Chamber of Commerce will Ask Con. gross to Fortify Rescurrection ~
 Bay and Provide Subs.

SEWARD, Feb. 3.-A campaign for military preparedness for Alaska was launched by the Seward Chamber of Commerce at meeting held last night. Resolutions were adopted ask ing President Wilson and members cf congress to take steps for the devel- ophent of the naval reservation in the Matanuska coal fields in order that coal would be available for the fleet. The government had has thir- ty-three hundred and fifty acres of coal land under reservation and the chamber favors it's immediate devel- opment.
 Resolutions were also passed ask ing that necessary appropriations be made for fortifying the mouth of Resurrection Bay, which 1t is asserted could easily be made impregnable to invaders. It is pointed out in the res- olutions that Alaska is the richest possession of the United States and that her coast is absolutely undefend- ed. It is also claimed that a fleet of submarines operating in Alaskan wa ters with Seward as base could pro tect the entire coast.
 Copies of the resolutions will be sent to President Wilson, the mem bers of both the senate and house and to Delegate Wickersham.

HOW EXPENSES OF U. S. GROW

in the year 1900 the total ordinary expenses of the United States govern ment announce to .$10,S13,971. In 1850 the total ordinary disburse- ments had jumped to $40,000,000. which was an increase of less than three-fourths of a million dollars 9 year. The big jump in the expenses of the government was in the year 1880, when the total ordinary dis bursements jumped from s66,009,- 900 to $474,O00,O0O.
 This, of course. was due to the war between the States, and by 1865 the expenses of the government had reached the total of $1,295,0O0,O00. The following year the ordinary ex- penses dropped to S52O,000,O00, re- ceding the next year to $546,000,000, down to 1872, when the expenses dropped back to $285,000.0O0.
 The expenses of the government lowered around tnis figure until 1891, when there was sudden jump from $297,O00,0OO to $355,O00,000. Since that time there have been fluc- tuations backward and forward until 1898, when the expenses increased from $365, 100000 to $443,O00,000. The next year, 1899, the total ordi- nary disbursements jumped to $605,- o00,000, then they dropped back to 100000, and finally in 1908, they had reached the figure s621, ,0OO- 900.
 There have been increases since that time until in 1914 the ordinary disbursements amounted to $694,- 000,000 and in 1915 to $650,O00,- 900. There is likely to be another tremendous jump as a result of the fve-year national defense program.
