SULZER ASKS
 NEW FEDERAL
 BUILDING HERE

That Delegate from Alaska Chas A Sulzer Is busy in Washington in the interests of his Fairbanks con. stituency is evidenced by the tele gram received from him yesterday by the Fairbanks Commercial club t is se1fexplanatory and is as follows
 Washington. D. C. May 25. 1917. Fairbanks Commercial Club
 Fairbanks, Alaska.
 Have introduced bill providing fol appropriation of $20O,OOO for a mod ern federal building at Fairbanks or present site
 SULZER, Delegate.
 The information that Delegate Sul Fer is seeking to get an appropria ton for q new federal building her, is good news 10 the people of Fair banks and vicinity. For it is a fac only too well known that the pres cnt federal building is entirely ill. adequate to the needs of the com munity. The building has been suh jccted to the seyerest criticism by every grand jury for the past seN cral years, all having made recon mendations for a completely new building or for extensive repairs which would be tantamOunt to a ne~ structure
 Several years ago the governmen purchased the Washington-Alaska ska bank property on the same block as the federal building. It is there fore supposed that. if the bill is passed and the appropriation grant ed, the new federal building will cover the entire block. All of the space in such a structure could b. put to good use, as it is a well known at the present time are very crowd ed
 Within the walls of such a struc ture every department of the gov ernment could be housed if neces sary. But the detailed arrangements for the building of the structur, and of the uses to which it will b. put after completion will have tc await the passage of the appropria ton bill.

noticed nothing particularly unusual in the attitude Of Mongelli except that the man complained of not feeling well. It is also stated that Mongelli was seen on the streets as late as 6:3O o'clock last night, but this report coulI not be verified.
 Dr Hall, however. gave it as his opinion that the shooting took place but a short time before Mongelli was found He said that the bullet will probably be found embedded in the inner par, of the skull above the left temple if post morten examination of the remains is made
 Mongelli had been engaged in the mercantile business during a consid erable part of his life both in Fair banks and in Dawson He is under stood to have come north in 1900 During most of his life in Fairbanks h. was warehouseman for R. l.. Vining, and also looked after other interests of Mr. Vining, including the theatre which Vining owns. He is reputed to have considerable money, as he is known to have been of saving nature. Estimates made last night by friends and acquain tances ranged from $500 to $5,000 but no accurate estimate is obtain able. It is understood that he had been planning on a trip Outside on account of his health, but that he had decided to wait for the annual trip north of his employer, MT Vining.
 MongelH was a native of southern Italy. He is believed to have had relatives on the Outside, but that could not be found out to a certain " last night. He was a member of the Fairbanks Igloo of Pioneers, under whose auspices the funeral will probably be held in the event that it is decided to bury the re mains here. He was about forty eight years of age.

DENTIST FOUND NOT GUILTY OF
 BREAKING LAW

pr A G. Atamian was found not guilty in commissioners court yes terday afternoon, by a jury of five men, of the charge of practiCing dentistry in Fairbanks in violation of the territorial statutes. The com blaming witness in the proceedings was Dr. R. R. Myers.
 The territorial statutes state that dentists must first secure a license before being allowed to practice in the territory. This license Dr. Atami- an has not had, although he has been practicing Consequently his ar rest on the charge was caused by Dr. Myers.
 The defense of Dr. Atamian was that he had tried to secure the Ii cense, but had been unable to do so. When in Juneau, on his way to Fairbanks, last summer, ne tried to secure it, and also has tried to get it since he came here, accord ing to his testimony on the stand yesterday He was unable to do so, however, the result being that he was told that he could practice until July, when the territorial den tistry board meets again to consider applications.
 The members of the jury sitting on the case yesterday were E. Nc Cugh Weste, S. w. Taggart, H. P. Karstens, J. R. Fowle and Sam Sea.
