 DEFENSE COUNCIL MEETS.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar 24.- The council of national defense held long conference here today with it's advisory committee of seven in dustrial leaders, who have already mapped out mobilization plans for the country's economic resources.

SEATTLE, Mar. 2l.-The alleged efforts of the police force of Seattle to corrupt and discredit witnesses for the government in the whiskey graft cases in which Mayor Gill, Chief of Police Rockingham and oth- era are defendants, is expected to cause a thorough investigation of every branch of the police depart ment by the federal grand jury. It is alleged that the police of Seattle are responsible for the testimony of feyed by the defense in the whiskey case during the past week. to the effect that Logan Billingsley had said that he would get" Mayor Gill and otherwise discrediting the chief wit ncsses for the government against the defendants in the proceeding
 The activities of the police, 1t is stated, have caused the trial of the case to drag along. It had been expected that 1t would be finished by this evening, but 1t is now very apparent that it cannot end before next Thursday at the earliest
 The defense will probably close its case on Monday, after which time evidence in rebuttal on the part of the government will be taken up. 1t is understood that the district at torney has every confidence of being able to refute the testimony offered by the alleged police-bought witness es of the defense.

ment The defense will also offer considerable testimony.
 No testimony has yet been offered by the government in an attempt to prove that the defendant Tracy fired on the sheriff's posse on the wharf at Everett from the steamer Verona In fact, no witness has yet testified that Tracy was even armed with a pistol. All of the testimony seems to be chiefly directed against the h. dustrial Workers of the World as an institution and not at any certain individual.

SUTHERLAND TO PRESENT EVIDENCE MONDAY OF
 ALLEGED RAILROADING
Special to The CIt:E.I)

JUNEAU, Mar. 24.-Senator Dan Sutherland, of the Fourth division sprung the biggest surprise of the present session of the Alaska legis- lature today when he asked the unanimous consent of the senate to be allowed personal privilege next Monday afternoon, when he desires to present certain documents to sub gently against certain federal off cials of the Fourth division. He declares that this step was caused by an editorial which recently ap peared in the Juneau Empire, re ferring to Senator Sutherland's state ments.
 At a public mass meeting held here during the first days of the present session of the legislature, when the senate was at loggerheads over the organization of the body and partisan feeling was running high, Senator Sutherland declared that Dan Callahan and others in Fair banks had been railroaded to the by Democrats because of their refusal to join the Demo cratic party.
 On March the Empire, comment ing editorially on the statements

made by Sutherland, said: We are
 inclined to believe that Senator Suth- erland's charge made last night. that men were railroaded to the peniten. tiary in the Fourth division, was the result of anger, and that 1t Is na- tural partisanshp that causes him to make eXtrayagant and undigni- fled accusations in heated partisan campaigns. It Is unthinkably untrue. We do not believe that he would make these charges in a moment of calm"
 The charges called forth consider able unfavorable comment at the time they were made, and an ac- count of the meeting at which they were made was printed in newspapers throughout Alaska. Senator Suther- lands announcement today that he had documentary evidence to support the charges he has made, and that he intends to refute the above edi- torial, is provocative of much eI- citement.
 The exact nature of the evidence that he intends to offer could not be ascertained today, as he would mako no statement concerning 1t, except to state that 1t is complete and convincing.

PETROGRAD, Mar. 2o.-The Rus sian provisional government, through the minister of war, tonight informed Grand Duke Nicholas that his further retention as commander-in-chief of the Russian armies was undesirable, and that his resignation would be accept ed.

WASHINGTON REPORT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Mar. A. According to information received here by the Russian ambassador, it is expected that the Russian provi- sional government will transfer the seat of government from Petrograd to Moscow at once. It Is stated that Petrograd Is hot-bed of pro-Ger- manism, and the entire city is swarm ing with Teutonic spies. In spite of every precaution that the provi sional government has taken, 1t has been evident for several days that Germany has been obtaining infor nation regarding movements being taken by the government.
 The news of the proposed move Is not unexpected here. as it was known that a strong pro-German influence was prevalent at Petrograd, and that the work of the new government was being hindered considerably by this.

has been unable to do It's work un- hampered. For this reason, and be- cause Moscow Is thought to be more nearly free from these drawbacks, an immediate change is expected. Sev- eral spies have been arrested since the forma ton of the new government, but 1t Is known that information re, garding important moves has been sent to Berlin.

Prediction as to the Long Poncate Of Benedict W Contained

dington Symonds, the able and authentic
English historian of the Renaissance, says:
Having bribed the most venal members
of the Sacred College, Francesca della Revere
was elected pope, and assumed the name Of
Sixtus w. He began his career with lie;
for though be succeeded to the avaricious
Paul, who had spent his time in anassing
money which he did not use he declared that
he had only found five thousand forins in the
papal treasury. This assertion was proved
false by the prodigality with which he Law
ished wealth Immediately upon his nephews.
1t is difficult even to hint at the horrible sus-
picions which were cast upon the birth Of
two of the popes nephews and upon the ma
ture of his weakness for them. Yet the pri-
vate life of Sixtus rendered the most mon
strous stories plausible, while his public
treatment of these men recalled to mind the
partiality of Nero for Doryphorus. - But
Christendom beheld in SiXtus not merely the
spectacle of pope who traficked in the
bodies of his subjects and the holy things Of
God, but one who also squandered basely
gotten gold upon abandoned minions. The
peace of Italy was destroyed by desolating
wars in the advancement Of the same worth

tro German hands ard it would not be too
great price to pay Tor vatican aid to give
the captured territory to the pope in return
for services rendered.
But be that as it may, the pope knew that
with France, England, Russia and Italy in
such pact, he had no hope of temporal
recognition from those countries so why try
to favor them. With Austria, the last re-
naming powerful Catholic nation, and the
attitude of the German Catholic party so in
harmony with papal desires, coupled with
the historic anniable relations that had
existed between the kaiser and the Jesuits
even to Wilhelm's nomination of the black
pope in 1906 and the conversion of the crown
prince to Rome, the Austro-G German alliance
was surely more to the pope's liking than
was an alliance that had gone on record as
determined to keep him out of the peace con-
ference.
If then, Catholic Belgium should choose
to fight in the interest OF an alliance opposed
to the popes political ambitions why should
he take an interest in her welfare She
was fighting against papal ambition and
Rome has burned and murdered millions for
the same offense. If Wilhelm wished to mur-
der Belgium's innocents and non-combatants
that was his concern and nothing for the
pope to be alarmed about for to aid Belgium
might hamper instead of further papal de-
sires.
If the pope's private chamberlain wished
to use the vatican pouch for Germanys gain
why should the pope bother to find out about
it? If he should blow up Italian battleships
and organize three-fold plots of intrigue
even to carrying contraband across Switzer-
land why should the pope interfere? Had
not Italy and the allies shown themselves de-
ternined to oppose any political move he
might make.
Of course when said private chamberlain
was caught red-handed then the pope could
