 PROHIB!TI0NISTS
His Influence Made An Chorage and Nenana Dry from Time of
 Establishment.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-It has developed here that Thomas Riggs Jr., recently appointed Governor of Alaska. was probably the first prac- .ical prohibitionist in Alaska. It was Gov. Riggs who was responsible for the provision in the regulations for the government of communities on the Alaska railroad townsites pro hibiting the sale of liquor As re suit of this provision Anchorage and Nenana have both been dry towns from the date of their establishment.
 Riaas Favors Eieht-Hour Law
 Among the aftermaths of the con test over the confirmation of Gov. Riggs of Alaska is the story of an Alaska newspaper which wired to Senator Key Pittman for a copy of the memorandum signed by William C. Edes and Thomas Riggs favoring the suspension of the eight-hour law in Alaska pending the war or the meet ing of the next Legislature. Senator Pittman gave the telegram to MT. Riggs to answer. and the latter has sent copy of the memorandum. It has been developed that both MT. Edes and MT Riggs are earnest be- lievers in the eighthour day, but they believe that the law should pro vide for overtime under certain cir cumstances during the busy months of the year with pay at time-and-a- half for all work in excess of eight hours a day.
 q have always favored the eight hour day with pay at time-and-a-hal for overtime" said Mir. Riggs.

REBUkE BY SENATOR REED

Partisan feeling f1ared up in the SEN

coming election in Wisconsin. Senator
John Sharp Williams renewed his at
tack on the republican nominee for the
Senate, Representative Lenroot, whom
he called '1ukewarm" in his loyalty to
the United States. He declared that
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin should
be expelled from the Senate and that
Victor Berger. the socialist candidate.

Senator Reed Of Missouri. who ad-
mitted himself one Of the most bitter
partisan democrats in the Senate. de-
nounced the partisan discussion begun
by Senator Williams
with a battle going on in Europe
that may decide the fate of civiliza-
tion," Mr.. Reed continued: with blood
from the trenches running in streams
and with thousands of English, French
and American soldiers dying side by
side, we ought to bind together all de-
tenders of democracy everywhere. In
contrast with that battle it.. is q pity
that we should turn aside to pay at
