STRONG MAKES DENIAL
Declares There Is No Truth in a Special Dispatch That He Has Re-
 Siqned Place.

SEATTLE, March 7.-(Associated Press) - special dispatch from Washington to the Post Inteligencer says it is understood that J. F. A. Strong, Governor of Alaska, has re- signed.
 The dispatch says the members of the Senate Committee on Territories assert in view of the resignation that Alaska Is now without a Governor, Surveyor General Charles E. David son being the acting Governor.
 The special says the appointment of Thomas Riggs as Governor, whose name was sent to the Senate yes terday by the President, has not yet been confirmed. 1t says that Sena- tor Key Putnam, of Nevada, chair man of the Senate Committees on Territories, recently told Secretary Lane that any nomination save that Of Strono's, would meet with opposi- tion in his committee. The special to the Post fntetiigenc- CT says Senator Pittman refused to comment on the reported resignation of Governor Strong until he had time to confirm the news.
 The indications are that no appoint ment will be made to fill the position. Of Thomas Riggs as member of the Alaska Engineering Commission. Thus far no one has been named to replace Col. Frederick Mears, who was pro- noted and has been busy organizing an Engineer Regiment for service in France.
 At the present time the commits sion has been reduced to William C. Edes. 1t is understood that the latter will be in active charge of the railway work hereafter.
