Likely That Territorial and Federal Aid Will Be &c., cured for Gold Creek
 Residents.
VOLUNTEERS WANT E D
Necessary That Emergen- Cy Work Be Done at Once to Save Re-
 maining Homes.

The Street Committee of the Coun cil last night reported to the Coun- cil that volunteers had been called for to do emergency work Sunday on Lower Cold Creek, to save as much of the remaining property as is possible from the effects of the recent flood, and that there seemed excellent chances of getting both Federal and Territorial assistance finally for helping to confine the waters against repetition of the damage.
 Volunteers have boon asked .o meet Sunday at o'clock on VII. loughby Avenue on Gold CreeK ana already a number have signifiei their intentions of being present and as sisting the property owners in gay ing what remains of their homes.
 Most likely a new brid%e across Gold Creek, with cement butirease will be constructed by Fe leral ail The question of Ire lamaga caused by the flood and the necessity of action to prevent further damage has been taken up with both the Federal officials and the Territorial officials, and it will be urged again when Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., re- turns. The Councilmen pointed out that the damage caused by a flood arising from source not within the city limits, and that it caused a greater loss than any disaster in Alaska of similar nature, and the City was without means of repair ing the damage and protecting pri- vate and public property against flu ture damage from the same source.
 A special appeal Is made for vol unteers for Sunday in the hopes that the remaining homes may be saved. Many persons who may not be able to work all day can be of great assistance by putting in few hours shift.
 The Council will stand the cost 1f sand and other material needed for the work to be performed Sun day.

statement, it is evident, he forgot a statement made by him on the floor of the House on April 24, 1912, as reported on Page 52SS, Part 8, volume AS. of the Congressional Record, 62d Congress.
 Congressman Willis of Ohio intro duced an amendment to the Organic Act which read Line 9, Page g after the word States insert the words Or to the game and fish laws of the United States applicable tC Alaska"
 The effect of the amendment was to prevent the Alaska Legislature from having authority to legislate on fish or game.
 Mir. Wickersham then said he did not think the word fish" ought tc be there.
 Mir Willis said that there was 8 Federal fish law for Alaska, and ask ed Mr. Wickersham if he objected tc that, and Wickersham said he did not And, after statements made by Congressmen Willis, Flood and Mann Mr Wickersham said; q WITH DRAW MY OBJECTION"
 Thus, he withdrew his objection to the amendment to the Organic Act, whereby the Territorial Legis lature was forbidden the right tc regulate it's fisheries, and by tha, withdrawal of the objection put his sanction on the act that robbed Al aska of the control of the fisheries to which it has always been entitled Yet he stood before a committee and said that he was amazed" that the word fish" had been inserted.

During the eight years that James Wickersham was Delegate from Al aska, the only legislation passed by Congress with reference to the fish cries of the Territory was the act forbidding the Legislature of Alaska to legislate for, or regulate the in dustry The Organic Act which ere ated the Legislature of Alaska, and which act was claimed by MT.

 Statements made by MT Wicker sham, relative to this forbidding clause in the Organic Act, will be en Tightening to many, in view of the representations of the former Dele gates champions that he is the one man who, if elected again, could save the fisheries
 Wick Denied His Child
 On June 8, 1918, at a hearing on the Alexander Fisheries measure, be fore the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, he said, ac cording. to the official report:
 "Mr. Wickersham-Yes sir. I read Section 9 to you. Section g substan tially gives the Territorial Legisla ture Jurisdiction to pass laws for the protection and conservation of the fisheries of Alaska. They are now debarred from doing so by a special Act of Congress-th is to say, when the act of August "A, 1912, was pass ed by Congress to my amazement l found that the word fish had been inserted in that act, and that barred the Legislature from any control over the fisheries"
 There Is the evidence MT. Wick ersham said that he was amazed to learn that the word fish" was included in that act to prevent Alas ka from having control of it's fisher ies. <1"

occasioned by shippers outside Of the

CLOSE POOL
ROOMS in GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ca, May 2S-Legisla-
ton closing pool rooms during the pc
Rod of the war will probably be in
troduced in the general assembly in
the session which conveues a few
weeks hence. Throughout the state
there appears to be crystallizing a
strong sentiment against these places
on account of the idleness and loaf
ing which they breed The special la
Dor committee Of the State Council Of
Defense, which is making war on va
grants, recently recommended the clos
ing of pool rooms. Then came the
announcement from Washington that
all registered men must work or fight.
Now comes DR.. J. ". Ham, famous
fighting pastor of the Baptist Taber-
nacle of Atlanta, with a survey show
ing more than 1,21N men every day
can be found in the pool rooms Of AT
lanta alone. He ass ,rss that many d
these loafers live III tie shameful pro
fits of prostitution furnished them by
women. He not only favors closing
the pool rooms but also suspending
professional baseball while the war is
on.

saving lives, than any other organlza-
ton in existence. 1t is worthy Of
your support.
