SOU HI AMERICA LIKES WILSON
 POLICY
tBy United Press)

BUENOS AIRES, March 8. - Re cent news dispatches from the United States. indicating that President Will. sons forebearing policy toward Mexi- co was adopted to some extent in de. ference to South American public opin. ion, have created an excellent impres. sion in the southern republics.
 For the first time since the Mexi- can situation became acute the admis. sion is being made here that the Uni ted States government has been very patient under very severe provo. cation. Whether this view would stju be held in the event of fresh threats of intervention in Mexico is doubtful It is distinct change, however, from the hitherto generally expressed opin- ion that North American mistakes and deliberate mischief making were re- sponsible for all the Mexican troubles of the past few years.
 That their wishes would be taken into account by the Washington ad. ministration, to tell the truth. was more than South Americans expected. From all appearances the presidents attitude has done more to develop a friendly feeling on the southern con tinent toward the United States than anything in a generation.

SACRAMENTO, March 9. - There are many wife abandonment bills be- fore the legislature Paul J. Amer ich. Alameda assemblyman. would make wife abandonment on second of fense a felony.
 Support of wives and children left destitute by the conviction of the hus- band and father for a felony would fall upon the counties, in a bill by Senator Henry Lyon, of Los Angeles Lazy husbands would be required to file good sized bonds before being ad- mitted to parole, in bill by Assem- blyman Baldwin.
 Two measures by Assemblyman N. J. Prendergast of San Francisco, re- lative to the liability of the husband when abandoned by his wife, are pend ing. One provides that when a wife who is separated from her husband fails to announce the separation when obtaining credit, she may be prose- cuted on a misdemeanor charge. The other provides that the liability of the husband for his wife's debts shall continue after she leaves him until he gives due notice personally and by publication.

WAN I SECURITY FUR RUSSIA $

TOXIC, March 8. - Because the Japanese bankers have made the un- usual demand that they be given se- curlty Japan may have to refuse the request of her ally, Russia, for a new loan of $10O,o0O,O0O. Should Japan make this loan 1t would be the largest ever floated in this country.
 Russia proposed the issue to the Japanese government. which acouaint. ed the bankers with Russia's over lures. As Russia intended spending the money for munitions and other products purchased in this country. the proposition met with the approval of the government.
 Japan has the money to make the loan, and it's success seemed assured until the Tokio bankers made their demand for security. In view of her position as first class power and n friend bound in alliance with Janap Russia believes such guarantee m. necessary and beneath her dignity, Japanese financiers take the attitude however, that considering the large Russia has already borrowed here and the magnitude of her latest some form of security shouId be offered

ROAD FUND NJ I HELD UP BY
 DELEGATE

Word has been received in Fair banks to the effect that the house of representatives had stricken the pro- vision for the appropriation of $500,- 900 for Alaska roads and trails from the army bill and that Delegate Wick ersham had been instrumental in the striking. The Citizen immediately made an effort to ascertain the truth of the matter. A wire was first sent to the Associated Press, asking that an effort be made to ascertain who was responsible for the striking of the appropriation. The answer to that wire said that Representatives Cor don of Ohio and Stafford of Wiscon- sin were the congressman who had asked that the appropriation be striek- en on point of order.
 Not content with this answer, how ever, the Citizen again wired the Associated Press, the wire being as follows: "Was Delegate Wickersham instrumental in causing suspension of Alaska road item? What part did he take?" In answer to which query the following was received on Sunday: "Wickersham not instrumental. Point raised by parliamentary law experts. ]"
 Henry T. Ray also wired the dele gate. His message. addressed to Dele gate Wickersham at Washington, was as follows:
 Wires received here state that road appropriation of six hundred thousand stricken in house your sug- gestion. Your friends refuse believe, but on contrary say you would sup port. Rush answer"
 The following answer to his query was received by MT. Ray from the delegate yesterday:

Refutation of recent rumors circu- lated in New York suggesting that the present control of the Mother Lode Copper Company would in the near future pass to the Kennecott Copper Corporation have been made by of ficials of the former company.
 It has been learned from persons closely in touch with the operations of the Mother Lode Company, whose home office is in Seattle, that no such consolidation is even being contcm- plated, and it is felt that she rumors circulated find their source at the than with the principals of either of the copper companies.

Sidney D. Charles, former Cor dova newspaper man, and until re- gently with the Juneau Dispatch, will publish at Juneau new monthly pub lication under the title of Alaska" !" The first number, which is soon to be issued, will be known as the legisla. tive number. Concerning his new venture. MT. Charles said:
 ''The publication is the crystalliza- ton of ideals and dreams which I have had for years. Heretofore, most monthly publications for Alaska have been gotten out in Seattle. They have lacked the original flavor and fresh ness of the true northland spirit. Mine will be for Alaska published in Alas. ka, by an Alaskan who knows the conditions and by an Alaskan publish ing firm. For the Legislative Num- ber' this month I have already secur. ed much interesting data"

SEEKING DATA FOR FUNDS
 NEEDED FOR THE SchOOLs

Governor Strong is requesting the clerks of the court in the different divisions for information in regard to the amount of money collected from liquor licenses in years time. It is believed that the seeking after liquor license figures by the governor means that the chief executive Is arranging plan for meeting the deficiency in the school fund of the territory and of the incorporated towns, which will materialize when the dry law goes ,n, to effect. It Is thought probable that he will submit any plan he has to the territorial legislature.

LITIGATION IS STARTED
 FOR INTEREST IN CLIFF MINE

suit has been filed in the district court by Edmund Smith, George C. Treat and Logan Archibald for one fifth interest in the Cliff mine, and it is expected the case will come up for trial in the near future in some of it's phases. This suit Is the outgrowth of similar action brought sometime over year ago, in which judgment was rendered by the court in favor of the plaintiffs. Later the appellate court reversed the judgment of the lower court on the purely technical ground that the complaint did not set forth cause of action.
