opportunity to acquaint itself with
the merits of the case as between
emplOye and employer, time to form
its opinion upon an impartial state
ment of the merits, and opportunity
to consider all practicable means of
Cancellation or arbitration"
There is nothing arbitrary or
unjust in it unless it be arbitrarily
and unjustly done. 1t can and should
be done with a full and scrupuloUs
regard for the interests and liberties
of all concerned, as well as for the
permanent interests of society it
self"
Immediate passage of the bill to
regulate the expenditure of money in
elections may seem less necessary
than other measures, because at
least two years will elapse before an
other election in which federal
offices are to be filled; but it would
greatly relieve the public mind if this
important matter were dealt with
while the circumstances and the
dangers to public morals of the pres
ent method of obtaining and spend
ing campaign funds stand clear
under recent observation"
81 shall not argue at length, the
desirability Of giving a freer hand in
the matter of combined and concert
ed effort to those who shall under
take the essential enterprise of build
ing up our export trade. We should
clear away all legal obstacles and
create a basis of undoUbted law for
it which will give freedom without
permitting Unregulated license. The
thing must be done now, because the
opportunity is here, and may escape
us if we hesitate or delay"
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law of
Porto Rico is brief and conclusive.
The present laws governing the
island and regulating the rights and
privileges of its people are not just.

BOARD OF TRADE HEAD DENIES
SPECTATORS ARE TO BLAME
FOR. HIGH PRICE OF WHEAT

Charges that present high cost OF
living is due largely to operations Of
Chicago's spectators were denied by
Pres. Joseph P. Griffin of Chicago
Board of Trade. He took exception
to figures cited by New York World
in story to that effect. He blamed
high price of wheat entirely to the
shortage in crops.
81 do not see where the World gets
its authority for statement that there
is a surplus of 122,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat in the United States this year.
he said. "This country produced
100000 900 bushels of wheat this
year, scarcely enough for bread and
seed. That is 4OO,OOO,OOO bushels
less than last years crop.
There also is a severe shortage all
over the world. The latest one is re-
ported from the Argentine. DroUth
has cut down production there until
it is doubtful if the country will have
any wheat to export"

THE ARMY-NAVY JOURNAL
MAKES APOLOGIES.
Is Sorry to Have Disappointed Embrvo
Lieutenants ---But.

If the types could secure promotion
a majority of the new ensighs of the
Navy of the Class Of 1916 at the Ma
val Academy would now be rejoicing
in their advancement to the grade of
lieutenant. junior grade We are
sorry to disappiont them, but truth
compels US to declare that the para
graph on page 1896 of the Army and
Navy Journal of June 3, announcing
their promotion, was intended to refer
TO promotions of ensigns of the class
graduated al the Naval Academy in
1918, not 1915.
The types in some way combiDed
this with a note intended to record the
routine promotion upon graduation of
the members Of the 1916 class at the
Naval Academy TO the rank of ensign.
The two reports were in some way
jumbled. and as il was just as we
went to press the error was not caught.
We hope that it will not be long be-
fore we shall have the pleasure of an
nouncing the actual promotions of the
ensigns of the Class of 1916.
The ensigns of the Navy promoted
to lieutenant. junior grade. effective
June z, are number one on the list
of ensigns, W. H P Blandy. down
to and including number l30 On the
list, r. j. Valentine; except k. d.
fitzpatrick, who lost numbers. and H.
A. Ward: and f l.. Gayhart, G. a.
Andrews. T. M. Searles, E. F. En-
right and f. G. Crisp, who have been
transferred to the Construction Corps.
Six ensigns of the class just grad
uated at the Naval Academy have
been appointed second lieutenants in
the Msrine Corps. as noted N the Jour.
nal of June 8, and have been ordered
to report to Major Gen. George Bar
nett, Commandant, on July 5, for as

CAPT. HINES DETACHED.
Popular Naval Officer and Family
Leave Here for Pacific Coast.

Capt. John Fore Hines, u. S. n. who
has been on duty at the Naval Acad-
emy for several years, and head of the
Department of Navigation, has been
detachedf rom the Naval Academy and
ordered to the Pacific coast.
1t is expected Captain Hines and
family will leave here today for Wash
ington, where Mrs. Hines and children
will spend some time with Major
General Breckenridge, U. s. A, ire
tired' before going to their new home
in San Diego, California.
No officer stationed at the Naval
Academy has been more popular than
Captain Hines, man of sterling worth,
with keen sense of honor, and an Off
Ger and gentleman in the highest ac-
ceptation of the term-a man who al
ways gives another square deal.
Captain Hines and his wife are held
in the highest esteem in Annapolis, and
their loss to this community is really
a calamity. Mrs. Hines. a woman of
the true Southern type, a Kentuckian
born and bred in the Blue Grass Coun-
try, is possessed of those qualities that
make a womanly woman.
During her residence here she has
been identified with the Presbyterian
Church where she has worked faith
fully for it's interests, and where her
loss will be deeply felt.
Captain and Mrs. Hines and family
take with them to their new home the
best wishes for success and happiness
of this community

be at your disposal and no obstacles

glad to fulfill your demands.

Into Calvert St. Prison.
AT LAST GETS THERE.
Hunts Safe Place From Pursuers and
Finds it in the County Jail---A
Place OF Refuge.

Considerable excitement was created
in the vicinity of the county jail about
eleven O'Clock this morning, when
cries Of murder. help. "let me
in" etc, were heard. The cries were
made by Lenny Oliver, a young col.
ored man. who was trying to gain ad.
mittance to the jail 10 get away from
a crowd of pursuers.
Oliver is thought TO be mentally un-
balanced and has been sick in bed for
several weeks. Under the doctors
orders he was allowed e dress and
come down stairs this morning for the
first time, and on reaching the ground
floor, hurried out doors. Those in
pursuit were endeavoring to catch and
return him to his home on South
street. Oliver became frightened at
what he evidently thought was a men,
acing attitude on the part of his
friends and ran to the Jail steps. dere
he was cornered between the doors
and his pursuers. seemed afraid to
touch him. Warden Weldon and
Night Watchman Smith were away in
the county on business and there Was
no one but women on the premises.
Mrs. Smith, the wife of the night
watchman could not ascertain from
the inside what the trouble was and
called the police station. Officers Low
man and jackson responded and
placed the man in cell. He will be
examined sometime this afternoon by
Drs. Hopkins and Welch as to his
mental condition. and proper disposi-
tion made of.the case.
Oliver received severe kick in the
head from horse sometime ago. which
IS probably the cause of his present
condition

JAPANESE LOST OUT
 THE LINE SURELY DEAD

Deputy Marshal N. E. Ohlson of Girdwood writes Deputy Marshal Evans on the l1th of this month that no trace has been found of Frank Imamura, the Japanese, who disap- peared at Thanksgiving, and Mir. Ohlson seems to be satisfied that the man is surely dead. He went away up the mountain side and was traced part of the way up but his tracks were lost in the drifting snow. As new snow has fallen all over the mountain a search for the body would probably be fruitless. The Japanese residents of Seward are taking a keen interest in the story of their ,ompatriot and are desirous of find .ng the body that they might give it decent burial.

Marrying Crippled Soldiers

There were more marriages in England and France in the last two years than in a like period before the war. It has been found that women show no disinclination to marry maimed and crippled soldiers. Says a London dispatch: "Men have come back from the front blind, helpless. many of them disfgured for life, and have found women willing to become their helpmates." It is said the fig
 ures show that the British women are perfectly willing to make sacrifices and marry the soldiers who have made their own sacrifices for their country and come home crippled and wounded. This is a very fine senti- ment and would be good as long as 1t lasts, but one could imagine that in the end it would prove too great a sacrifice to woman. The rule should be in this case, as in all others, that a man should be heroic enough not to marry a woman upon whom he would likely become sooner or later heavy burden.-Columbus, Ohio, Journal.

BIG CHIEF DIES

Among the death certificates filed in the commissioners office, in ac- codance with territorial laws, was that of Chief Anthony Aiamaty whose death occurred at Horn village on September ?. He was born in 1858 at Napamute, being nearly 60 years of age at the time of his death. The cause given in the certificate was throat consumption" His sufferings were more than usually severe at thu end. He is reported to have been conscious up to the time of his death. but for more than ten days had been unable to swallow either food or water. Everything that could pos sbly be done for him was done. Chief Ajamaty, according to tribal customs, was chief of all the territory lying between Russian Mission and Sleet- mute.-Iditarod Pioneer.

FARMS ON RAILROAD
 MADE GOOD MONEY
Two and Half Acres Pro. duced Over $500 Worth
 of Potatoes.

Several ranchers made good money near Anchorage this year as they solo their produce to the engineering com. mission, according to Henry c. Dohr- man, the Anchorage hardware man who has arrived in Seward. The price given for potatoes by the com mission was forty seven dollars g ton. The most remarkable example, perhaps, of the value of a potato crop is shown by little farm owned by a brother of Mr. Dohrman and another man. This farm was only two and a half acres but it's potato crop was eleven tons. Multiplying eleven tons 5y 47 shows that this two and a half acres of Alaska lard brought in over $500 for one season.
