 Sulzer AS. Maloney 5. Wickersham 16. This includes both Panama and Fort Gibbon precincts.
 LONG FOR sULZER
 RUBY, April 30.-The Long creek precinct gives Delegate Sulzer 25. Maloney and Wickersham 21. The vote was a surprise to even the Sulzer supporters, who thought that Maloney might run a close race in this precinct.
 MAJORITY PILES UP

April 3O.-As was forecast several days ago, Delegate Sulzer completely outdistanced his opponent here in today's primaries and ran ahead of the balance of the ticket, with the single exception of Dunn.

 MALoNEY BUBBLE BURSTS
 JUNEAU. April 30.-While the re- turns up to midnight tonight are in- complete, the Maloney bubble has burst and Sulzer is conceded to have won out in the Democratic primaries without any difficulty.

 VALDEZ RETURNS

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3O.- The recent reports received at Cop enhagen from Abo. Finland. in con- nection with the alleged revolt in Petrograd and the restoration of the former Russian monarchy with Grand Duke Alexis as emperor, are now declared to have been put out by the German authorities to produce the impression that Germany was about to gain an ally in Russia. Advices to this effect were received today by the state department in of ficial dispatches from France which stated that the French newspapers have reason to believe that this was the case.
 It is the belief of American off, cials that Germany probably took this method to create more dificul. ties in the Far East. believing that the allied troops there would take immediate steps to safeguard all al. lied interests there if 1t were known that Germany had succeeded in re. storing the Romanoff regime to power.

votes were counted.
 MALoNEY WEAK
 Throughout the entire district the efforts of the Maloney faction to strengthen their candidates position on the ballot proved futile, he poll ing less than ten per cent of the to- tai vote cast. The strongest support he received was at Ruby, getting approximately 30 per cent. At Jul neau his average was better than fifty per cent, and the factional fight that has been in progress prior to the election only served to strengthen the position of Sulzer. For the balance of the territory, as far as can be learned, Maloney's running amounted to farce.
 WICK STRONG ON CREEKS
 On local conditions Wickersham showed considerable strength. Includ- ing Graehl and the creeks, he boiled sixty.six less votes than did Sulzer and f1fty-six more than Maloney. His strongest showing was at Fox and Fairbanks creek, carrying both plac- es by a good majority over Sulzer for the vote cast. In Fairbanks, as predicted, Sulzer won out by a small majority. which more than wiped out any lead that Wickersham made in the outlying precincts. No returns were received rom Juneau regarding the total vote ccoived by him there, but it is assumed that Sulzer car ried that place by even greater majority than over his opponent, Ma loney.
 For Senator Luther c. Hces had the field to himself, carrying more than fifty per cent of the vote cast, distancing his opponents witt ase.
 On the Republican ticket Louis K. Pratt furnished the SUI prise of the election, distancing o. P. Gaustad by safe majority. On the outset it was conceded that Pratt had no chance When the votes were count ed he was on the safe end by a good lead.
 The race between the candidates for road commissioner was also a surprise. Ross, the incumbent, was conceded the election before yester- day. Sheldon, Democrat, distanced Ross by nearly two to one. Steil, Sheldon's opposition on the Demo- cratic ticket, never had chance.
 DEMOCRATS SOLID
 Those on the Democratic ticket for representative were carried along sol i'd and with one exception were close ly punched, every man running well over the two hundred mark for the entire district. In many instances, especially on the creeks, their names were substituted on the Republican ticket in place of the regular can didates.
 SOCIALISTS WEAK
 The Socialist party, which was expected to support their candidates with their full strength. showed a great decimation of numbers when the final vote was counted. The only place where showing was made at all was at Ruby. where the delegate candidate received seventeen votes, polling about fifty per cent of the vote received by the Demo- cratic candidate and only ten behind Wickersham.
 MANY BALLOTS SPLIT
 That the Democratic candidates were in favor with some members of the Republican party was evil denced by the way in which many tickets were split. This was espe- cially true in the vote for representa- tive at Fox, where in each instance the Democrat received three votes on the Republican ballots cast. The same was true of the Democratic

Now 'Pirates of Penzance" is sched-
uled for this week.
Gilbert and Sullivan revivals are not
mere theatrical events-they are
family reunions. Generations Of
theatregoers and mont theatregoers
have been audiences at Gilbert and
Sullivan productions-profes and
amateur--that have swept the country
from season to season, and every time
there is new Gilbert and Sullivan
revival the old folk and the youngest
generation join the regular theatre
goers of the family, and everybody
compares notes on the companies of
yesterday, to-day and forever! The
last New York Gilbert and Sullivan
revival was the all-star Casino organi-
zation of the Brady-Shubert forces.
Before that came the "H M. S. Pima
fore" revival at the Hippodrome.
But the memories of such Gilbert

go back to the ]. 0. Duff company and
to the early history Of Gilbert and
Sullivan in America. Gilbert and Sui

years. and had already produced
"Thespis, "Trial by Jury "The
Sorcerer" and "H. NJ. S. Pinafore," !"
which had not been a success at first,
but which eventually ran 700 nights
at the London Opera Comique, when
they brought their own company to
New York in 1879 and produced "H.
NJ S. Pinafore" here. Lacking inter
national copyright laws, to protect the
rights of the English authors in
America every aspirant for mana
gerial fame and dollars was free t.
produce the reigning success Of Lon
don and New York without a penny
to pay in royalty, and "H. NJ S. Pima
fore" swept the country like wildfire.
There were church choir companies.
juvenile companies, and "H. NJ. S.
Pinafore" flooded the stage with en-
tirely raw recruits. Some Of the bet
ter church choir companies clung to-
gether and for years their annual ere
vivals' of Gilbert and Sullivan were
features of every theatrical season
throughout the United States. The
most famous of them, the Boston Idea,
Company and the Chicago Church

splendid singers, combined as "The

next year, in London, it ran for nearly
400 nights. "The Mikado; or, The
Town of Titipu," was first announced
in 1885 and proved the most generally
popular of the operas in England and
of lasting popularity here. For the
