Berlin. March So wa Sayville,
wireless) April 4.-The first step in
the direction of the characterization
Of Germany was taken by the adop-
ton in the reichstag by vote OF
277 to 3S of a measure providing for
the appointment of constitutional
committee of % members. This COM
mittee is to revise the constitution OF
the empire.
The vote was taken after a pro-
tracted debate the keynote of which
was that Germany must not remain
behind the great states of the world
in the political progress Of democra-
cy aid freedom.
Despite Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg's attitude of hesitancy, and
his disposition to put off the electoral
reforms in Prussia until after the
war. the resolution of the national
liberal party was Overwhelmingly
adopted
Both wings of the social-democrat-
ic party. the Catholic Centerists
headed by Dr.. Erzberger. and the pro-
sressives. who occupy a political po-
sition of liberalism between the So.
cialists and the national liberals, un-
animously voted for the resolution
Only the conservatives, the so-called
"junkers." opposed it.
A significant feature Of the situa-
ton is that the national liberals are
led by Prince Schoenaich- CaroIath il
the fight for parliamentary democ.
ratization. The Socialists withdrew
a somewhat farther reaching resolu.
tion,. yielding in favor of the national
liberals motion.
The proposed constitutional com.
mitee is to receive and examine all
resolutions on constitutional reform
and make recommendations.
The Socialists show strong dis
position to work with the consent OF

In the house of commons today
mighty cheer went up from the rep

Sir Cecils belief that the American

but as the factor that seals the cen-

THE CRADLE AND GRAVE
OF THE FIRST SUBMARINE
The St2ry CT the Ill Fated Hunley,
Which Drowned Four Crews and
Found Resting Place With Last
Close by Only Enemy Victim.
To the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
l noticed in your paper some time
ago what purported to be the build
ing and sinking OF the first subma-
rine. There were two accounts OF II,
both partly right and party wrons,
or at least some OF the most impor-
-tant and vital facts were omitted.
1t seems to be the impression
among most people that the whole
life and death Of the novel undersel
craft was connected with Charleston
harbor. But such was not the casc
The idea of blowing up the enemy's
ship by boat running beneath the
water, first budded and blossomeo
in the brain of ,lapt Hunley, me-
.chanical engineer.
He, with two other young men,
with like fertile brain. undertook
the building of such craft. in the
New basin at New Orleans. But be-
fore they had it finished they were
forced to sink it lest the boat and the
idea fall into the hands OF the, enemy
who with their fleet was then COM
ang up the river.
They then took the model to Mobile,
Ala, and constructed a boat, accord
ing to the first designs, but in towing
1t out to sea to experiment on the
enemy ships then blockading the
harbor, the heavy wash of waters,
around Fort Morgan. caused the boat
TO upset and go to the bottom, where
she lies today.
Not deferred, the ambitious and
energetic young men began On
another boat, quiet different from the
first. This one was called the Hun
ley, after its inventor and builder.
They procured a cylinder boiler,
rs inches in diameter and 25 feet
long, so divided inside that two
water tanks could be built as ballast,
these to be filed or emptied, through
valves operated by the crew as they
wished to rise or fall. Heavy pipes
of old railroad iron were bolted to
the bottom to also act as ballast.
These were so bolted that the COM
mander could drop them to the bot
tom when he wished to rise hur-
riedly without disturbing the water
in the tanks.
To steer the boat they took two
pieces of iron. five feet long and
eight inches long, cut in the shape
of fish tail to be fastened to shaft
projecting in the rear. This shaft
ran into the hull and fastened to a
lever handled by the captain in
front, in directing the boat. On this
shaft, running the whole length OF
the boat! were eight cranks by which
the crew turned and operated the
propeller behind. For torpedo,
they utilized a copper cylinder, load
ed with 90 pounds of dynamite to
explode which were tube. cap and
a hammer. something akin to the old
fashioned percussion gun lock. to

CONCRETE WORK PLANNED FUR

At a regular meeting of the city council. held last night. the principal business considered was a petition from a number of property owners on First avenue. who want a sidewalk built from the Northwest Soda Works building to the end of the city limits beyond the Copper River lodging house. Also uniform grade estab- iished in front of block and the same extended in front of blocks ? and f. A general discussion followed as to the necessity of this public improve ment, H. C, Feldman and k. V. Boyle appearing before the council in favor of it. The matter was finally referred to the street committee with instruc. tions to secure estimates of the cost of putting down both a plank and con. crete walk.
 The school board made a request for s2.000, half of which is to be ap- piled on the steam heating contract, and the balance on the improvements being made to the school building. The payment of the sum asked was author. tzed upon approval by the finance com. mittee.
 It was suggested that the Thirteen Acre Tract be included in the fire linn its, and an ordinance will likely be submitted at the next meeting, cover ing the matter.
 A fire hydrant was ordered placed at the corner of Third and C. streets

ASKS ASSES AN CE:
 FOR HOSPITAL

The Sister Superior of St. Ann's hos pitaI at Treadwell. has sent the fol lowing appeal to the Cordoya city council, but as there Is no provision in law whereby the local legislators can divert municipal funds for the purpose asked, the Daily Times has been requested to give the communi- cation publicity in the hope that it may reach a responsive public:
 towing to the recent disaster to the Treadwell mine, located at Treadwell, Alaska, the loeel hospital has met with ag rether unex- peeted& to provide adequats 2 accommoda- tions for q Injured miners, the managed ae hospital. which is in charge of the Sisters of St. Ann. submitted to the necessity of making loan of forty thousand dollars. By dint of economy and careful manage ment ten thoE oI dollars Of the debt had been pa when suddenly the only means ssource was cut off by the desta a of the mine. We are, therefore, appealing to those who
 have the welfare of humanity at heart, to assist us to meet at least
 the interest of the debt, in order that
 we may be able to preserve the insti- |tution in its present condition and make use of it for our country's veal during the period of struggle in which she is now engaged. With this end in view and trusting to your generosity and patriotism. we ask a contribution from your city's treasury. Any con sideration, even the sum of one dollar, will be most acceptable and gratefully appreciated"

NEW EP|SCOPA AL CHURCH TO bE
 ERECTED

We have with us the Rt Rev. P. T.
 Rowe, D. D., bishop of the Episcopal church in Alaska. who speaks enthusi-
 astically of the encouraging evidences
 of the consistent growth of Cordova
 and the Copper river valley. He is sufficiently convinced from present conditions to state that it is now time, in order to keep up with the progress siye policy of the church to erect a church building. The Red Dragon Club House was opened In July, 1908
 and has been from that time real
 contribution to the welfare of the community and the surrounding coun-
 try. As soon as plans are made the erection will begin of an attractive and artistic building of about 24 by 36 feet. bungalow roof concrete base ment and furnace. The site will be on the corner of Second street, facing the new sidewalk running to the Red Dragon. Sufficient space will be left between the present building and church to place a reetory if 1t is de. cided to sell the present one and re. build. Surely we recognize the bene volent character of the broad work done here by this mission. and should encourage in every way the idea of church building in connection with the club house, which will he conduct. ed as in the past.
 The Episcopa, church has in Alas ka twenty-seven missions, the mos, portant of which are in that part of Alaska in which 1t is most difficult to minister. At Fort Yukon and Fort Gibbon are two hospitals, costing $20,- ooo a ps~@a-~ whichaare the o-Iy- s--.a.-a- tions of their kind in the territory, as they minister solely to the natives The maintenance of these hospitals, ministering to the diseased natives in this isolated place, is not met solely by the church. With between forty and fifty workers, the Episcopal church has been ministering in the broadest possible way with churches, hospitals, schools and club houses, in country where mans bodily needs as well as spiritual, should be looked after
 It is gratifying to have the stimulus such as the bishop leaves with us, It is gratifying also to have him express his faith in our future and the expres- sion of his ready appreciation of the improved conditions in our town and section. The bishop does not need to convince Alaskans, as they have al ready been convinced for nearly 25 years. of his whole hearted interest in our welfare.

ANCHORAGE. MAY BE CUT OUT
 BY BOATS

Steamers going beyond Seward on the run up Cook inlet are being oper- ated at d loss at present.
 The Northwestern, just returning from Anchorage had less than 75 tons of freight to transfer to barges there and the passenger list was not suffi- cient to make up the difference be- tween freight receipts and the cost of operation.
 At the same time the Alaskan engi- neering commission is operating the transport Crook with full cargoes and heavy passenger lists from Seattle to Anchorage direct.
 In addition the commission has had cargoes brought here and to the inlet on the British ship Turret Crown. The British rules for navigation allow yes sels to be operated with so much small Ter crews than American vessels that competition is impossible.
 Explanation made by the commis- sion as to the reason for using the Crook is that it insured the handling of shipments as whole, while freight for the railroad delivered by the com pany ships came Tn broken consign- ments. each boat taking what it could handle above the regular way freight.
 Considered from the company view point the continuation of the Crook in service for the commission means a curtailment of private shipping. One solution suggested has been to put a smaller boat on the run from Seward to Anchorage to transfer such shipments as must be made during the remainder of the time before traffic is opened through from Seward by rail, but as the situation is only temporary the schedule will probably remain un- changed this year For the spring it may be that only two boats of each line will be operated up the inlet. | After the road Is connected all of will make this their final call. none of the Admiral line steamers need make the trip above Seldovia, as all freight can be landed here and shipped over the line for less than the total cost of extra water haul and more expensive dockage at the head of the inlet Freight for points on the upper inlet, however, will be handled out or An chorage by the mosquito fleet-Sew- ard Gateway.
