UNCLE OF BRITISH LORD
 DIES IN SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Sam uel $. Phillips, uncle of Lord North clifre, owner of the London Times and nephew of the late Sir Bordwell Phil lips, former lord mayor of London, died here at the Hebrew Home for the Aged and Disabled.
 Phillips came to this state sixty six years ago with the intent to make his fortune and return to England to enjoy the station in life to which he had been born, but which he could not maintain because of the lack of money.
 For years he worked at odd jobs mostly of a clerical nature, but at no time did fortune smile upon him Four years ago he was admitted to the charitable institution where he died. He was 94 years old.-Ex.

The only attempt to prove anything against the witness was that he intro duced Gerard, the American ambas- sador to Berlin, to the Hibbs Com pany, Washington brokers, but Yum ulty denied absolutely that he engag- ed in the slightest stock transactions. Humility then severely chastised Con- gressman Woods for ever mentioning his name in the matter and said sig nificantly that he is awaiting an apology. The witness also denied that he had ever consulted Baruch whom, he said, he only met informal ly.

USE ALASKA STUDS

Some ten days ago the Fairbanks Commercial club received a letter from the Northern Pacific railroad, stating that the company would be very glad to serve Alaska patotoes on it's dining cars and would advertise the fact widely, provided it would be possible to get large specimens pound potatoes if possible. At the time of the arrival of the letter, it was printed in the News-Miner and drawn to the attention of Thomas Riggs, Jr., member of the Alaskan Engineering commission.
 In the latest mail from the lower river town, the Commercial club re- ceived a letter from Mir. Riggs, in which he urged the organization to take the matter up seriously and, if possible, furnish the Northern Pa cifc with the desired spuds.-Fair- banks News Miner.

NEW GAS HAS BEEN
 INVENTED BY JUNEAU MAN

A substitute air gas, that will take the place and can be used for the same purpose as gasoline, distillate, cooking gas, has been invented by Charles Warner, of Juneau and a member of the local Elks Lodge. Mir. Warner is a mechanic and inventor and has been working on his inven- tion for the past two years. He has now brought it to a point where he is making practical tests and is de- monstrating the production to his friends.
 The gas is produced by blowing air through tanks containing a dry powdered chemical and is absolutely dry when produced. Water thrown into the tank, or even heavy oils do not interfere with the production of the gas. It has already been used to run a gasoline engine under tests made by Mir. Warner.-Juneau Elm pire.

EDITOR TAKEN INTO
 CUSTODY ON COMPLAINT

FAIRBANKS.-On a complaint sworn to by N. R. King, G. Hinton Henry, editor of the Free Press, was arrested and brought before CommiS- sioner Reed HeiEg yesterday after noon, charged with libel, Mr. Henry pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recogn;zance to appear again Tuesday afternoon at ? o'clock, at which time the date of his trial will be set.
 It appears that for some time tho subscribers of the paper have been missing their copies, and the libel charge grew out of statement which appeared in an issue of the Free Press which bears the date of De cember 20. The article in question reads as follows; "The Free Press was stolen from many of our sub scribers last week What is worth stealing is worth buying. But if N. R. King, or any of his kind, wants a Free Press to take home but is too cheap to buy one, we will give him one. But do not put our subscribers to inconvenience by stealing it. King

ON WRONG TRACK

NENANA, Dec. 23.-The attack on Captain Mears, member of the Alas kan Engineering commission, which was contained in a recent issue of the Alaska Citizen, has caused much un- favorable comment in Nenana, where it is recognized that all the members of the commission are doing all they can to hasten the completion of the railroad.
 In statement given a representa- tive of the News, Thos. Riggs, Jr., declared emphatically that the article published by the Citizen was abso lutely without warrant, since Captain NIears is as eager to see the railroad completed as either of the other two members of the commission. The reputation of Captain Mears and lis associates depend upon the success of the enterprise upon which they are now engaged, and if the work could be completed by the end of another year it would mean more to them than the salaries they would receive for a longer period of construction. As one Nenanaite put it, the Citizen would not have been farthe" from the truth if it had accused Geo. w. Goe- tha's of causing the slides whick de- laycd the completion of the Panama canal, in order that he mignr stick longer on the government payroll.
 Regarding the apportionment Of funds, Mir. Riggs says that his divi- sion las not be4l allowed as much money as he hoped to receive for enxt years work. The amop7 IS S2,- 667,OO0 and he estimated that he could use approximately one million more than that amount. He wlll have sufficient, however, to complete the

CHARGES FILED AGAINST
 MARSHAL AT PETERSBURG

Sensational charges affecting the United States Marshal administration at Petersburg are said to have been sent tO the Department of Justice. These charges arise over the action of Deputy U. s. Marshal Kildahl in prosecuting liquor dealers who re- fused to support the Democratic ter itorial divisional ticket at the Noverr- Der election. Also charges will be presented to the Senate, when it con venes on March 4, alleging violations of the territorial election law.
 The direct charge against Kildahl arises in activity during and after the territorial election It is alleged he openly threatened prominent busi- ness men of Petersburg, followed af- ter the election by prosecutions.
 Also, it is alleged his father-in-law is allowed to conduct his saloon in open violation of the Sunday closing law, while other rival liquor dealers are prosecuted upon the least possible cause.
 Word comes from Petersburg that the town is all torn up over the trou' ble arising diectly from the election and the political activity of Kildah is said to be cause of it.-Ex.

The death of Buffalo Bill is probably the cutting of the last nk between the old and the present In every civilized country of the world the news of his death will bring back to millions of minds the grand old days when sensation after sensation struck the youthful eye petween the pages of some book dealing with the real imaginary deeds oI the famous scout Buffalo Bill was as much read about in European countries in his own, if rot more The farther country is from those reading

Apparently the Prohibition law to be applied to AL aska by congress will make Aaskans the most temper people earth and almost dry as the people of the other worlds The chief places to be occupied in the next stage of existence arc also dry. One of them is
 y by cholco and tie other dry by compulsion. Alaska IS dry by ooth But always remember that one year from today it will be harder to find bottle of whiskey than rich paystreak. And this is all the better As it has been decided to make the territory dy at all let it be perfectly dry. The phase of Prohibition is that it temps people to be aW-oreahers. With large territory as this it might well happen that moOnShining and booteg

RECORD FOR 100 YEARS
 COMPILED BY KASHEVAROFF

JUNEAU, Jan. ,. - For the past several weeks Father A. P. Kashe' varoff, working with the force in the office of Secretary Charles F. David son, has been translating and tran scribing the early vital statistic records of the Russian Church into the English language and making the records of the office as complete as possible. Father aKshevarof is act ing as translator, and his records are being written on the typewriter and will be added to the permanent files of the office when completed.
 The records of the Russian Church contain the dates of all births, mar riages and deaths, among the people protesting that faith and are com plete from the year 1916 to the pres ent time, or for the past 100 years Many historical events are shown in the records which consist of written books. Before record book is start ed it is punched, ran through a heavy black silk cord and sealed with the seal of the Bishop of the church. The pages are then counted and num- bered, the Bishop making an entry and signing the last page, which makes it impossible for any one to tamper with the records in any way.
 One of the first historical events of interest in the records is the ac- count of the marriage of Governor Yanofsky to half breed daughter of Governor Baranof. Yanofsky was at the time of the marriage Lieu tenant in the Russian fleet stationed at Sitka. The marriage was on Jan. ', ISIS. The record gives the ac- count of the wedding as follows:
 "Jan. ', ISIS, Lieutenant of the Russian fleet, Simion Ivanovich Yam ofsky, married the daughter of the Government of the Russian Posses sions in America and Governor and Cavalier Alexander Baranoc, the girl Irma, a creole"
 The names of the Russian goyer- nors of Alaska appear in the pages many times where they acted as crown bearers at weddings. Among those mentioned many times are BaranofT, Kupreanoir, Gregory Etelin, Baron Ferdinand Wrangell.
 The records contain the account of Baron Wrangell, and who was buried in Sitka, on the plot where the old church stood. The grave is still preserved and can be seen at the side of the principal street of SitIta, a short distance from the present church.
 Among other things in the record, Father Kashevaroff found the record of the marriage of his grandfather, the birth of his father and also his fathers marriage. He also found the record of the marriage of his great uncle to Catherine, a daughter Of Father John Veniaminof, Bishop ot Alaska.-vEmpire.
