RIGGS ON JOB
IN INTERIOR
Commissioners Looks Over Newly
Purchased Tanana Valley
Railroad Line.

FAIRBANKS.-(By mail. )-Thom-
as Riggs of the A. E. C. is here from
Nenana looking over the Tanana Val
ley railroad, recently purchased by the
government. He says that the pur-
chase of the railroad was the first
step in the matter of Secretary Lanes
policy Of developing the resources of
interior Alaska. He further stated
that The railroad will remain as it is,
at least for the present, although it is
probable that few repairs will be
necessary.
In speaking of the Tanana Valley
Mr.. Riggs referred to the Standard
zation of the road. He said that he
had been questioned a number of times
regarding whether or not it will be
standardized, and in answer to those
queries he now says that it will not;
that it will be allowed to remain mar
row guage as at present. When stand
ard gauge track is put in between
Fairbanks and Happy station third
rail will be laid for the use of the
narrow gauge rolling stock, and it will
also be used on this end Of the line,
according to the railroad builders
plans.
Questioned regarding his probable
appointment to the governorship of
Alaska, Mr.. Riggs had little to say,
although he made few non-committal
remarks. He did say, when further
questioned, however, that if he leaves
the interior to accept the governorsmp
of Alaska. there will be no change
here in regard to railroad work other
than in the con,missionerShip. 1t will
be prosecuted as rapidly as he is now
pushing it, or even at greater speed,
he says.

Washington, Feb. 0--The submarine
question bobbed up in the Senate yester
day when Senator MeCumber offered Il
resolution asking that the secretary ol
state be directed to submit to the Sen
ate the views of the United States
government upon Limitations of the
use of the submarines"
Mr.. McCumbers asked: "'rhe limita-
tions of the use of submarines as
against belligerent merchant vessels car
rying American goods not contraband."
As to the warning and safety of pas
sengers and crews.
I'm respect to the sinking of Amer
lean vessels carrying contraband with
out notice where the death of passen-
gers and crews does not result.
In respect to American vessels car
rying mails, and regarding any other
acts of submarines which this government
holds to be closely violation OF the
law and cause for war"
Mr. McCumber said he offered the
resolution so that amy belligerent ma
ton may fully understand what acts
OF submarine warfare may involve this
country in the present world conflict"
At the suggestion of Senator McCum-
Der the resolution went over under the
rules and viii be called up for further
discussion later.
Senator McCumber held that the pres

Senator MeCumber declared that de-
spite the many notes addressed to Ger

craft OF the German government with

on the part of this government, indicat

1853 OCEAN SHIPS
THROUGH PANAMA
CANAL DURING 1916
The Ships Carried a Total of 4,o31,olt
Tons of Cargo-Number of Ships
Seven Per Cent Greater
Than in 1915.

Panama, Feb. 9.-Traflic statistics for
the Panama canal show that the number
of ocean-going ships which made the
transit through the canal in the calendar
year 1916 was 1858, Their aggregate
net tonnage was 3,033s5o tons, aud they
carried total of 4,93l oil tons OF car
90.
The number Of ships was seven per
cent greater than in 1915, but in net
tonnage, tolls, and cargo, the record
for 1915 was a little less than one per
cent less than 1915 The two years had
about the same bulk Of traffic and both
saw the canal closed for period Of
three and half months.
The tolls collected in 1915 were 49,.
677 ,695.60, which was not equal TO the
expenses, The ships in the United States
coastwise trade were slightly over three
per cent of the aggregate tonnage in
1915 In 1916 they were one fourth OF
all the traffic, and in 1914 they we're
two-fifths. Most OF the former coast

NO RIGHT TO DEPoRT.
To Russia or France Aliens Found n
Great Britain.

London, Feb. 9.-The British court
have decided that the government has
no right to deport TO Russia or France,
citizens Of those countries who have rel
uged here. An order OF deportation ma +
be issued against and alien, but the order
must not specify the country 10 which
the deported alien must 60.
The decision completely nullifies the
widely proposed deportation Of all allied
aliens for military service in their own
countries.
The test case discussed by the courts
was that of the Duke of Chateau Thier-
! ry, a French subject of military age,
resident in England prior to the war;
against whom the British government
made an order of deportation to France
at the request of the French govern
ment No offense or misconduct was ell
| legged against the duke, but the House
secretary claimed the right to deport
him under certain war legislation which
authorized him to deport aliens, while
the war continues, whenever such de-
portation is incidental to the safety OF
the realm"
The duke contcnded that he was a
royallSt, and therefore political rel
uge, and stated in his affidavit that he
had been threatened, over the telephone,
with the fate of being placed in dan.
gerous part Of the firing line, notwith
standing an English medical certificate
of unfitness.
The French government disclaimed
political animus against him, or any in.
tention to treat him as suggested, but
claimed him as Of military age and sub
iect to military service.
The courts, without entering into these
disputed questions of fact, took the
broad ground that while the home secre-
tary has discretion to make deporta
ton order, he has no power to select the
country to. which the deported alien must
go. The order was accordingly quashed
and the duke restored to liberty.
