Any person of the age of tWenty-One years or more who is citizen of the United States, who has lived in the territory of Alaska one year and in the judi cial division in which he or she offers to cast his or her vote thirty days immediately preced- ing such election, shall be en- titled to vote at all elections held therein"
 Tn applying these laws to the ques tion under consideration it becomes necessary to ascertain the legal def nition of the words "domicile," tres idents," and lived"
 "DomiciIe."
 The domicile of a married man is the place of his family's habit ual dwelling, although he may be conducting business else where. Chaine vs Wilson (N. Y.), 1 How. Prac. 552.
 A man may acquire domicile if he be personally present in a place; one who dWells, abides, or even if he never designs to re- a1 hI1f at the end of some short time to remove and acquire another. Brittenham vs. Robinson, 48 N. E. 616.
 Bodily residence in a place coupled with an intention to make such a place a home would establish a domicile or residence. Sanders vs. Getchell 49 Am Rep. 6O6.

 Resident" is defined in Bur rill's law dictionary to be one
 
 place; one who dWells, abides, or lives in a place; an inha bitant; one who resides or dwells in a place for some time.
 Worcester defines Resident thus: Dwelling; having abode in any place; living; inhabiting; abiding; residing.
 The word "resident" is the Op- posite of the word transient" The former describes a person at rest in a town, while the latter describes him in his passage through or across it. Town of New Haven vs. Town of Middle bury, 63 Vt 399.
 "Lived"
 The words ''to live" 'to re- side," "to dwell," ''to have ones home or domicile," are usually in our statutes equivalent and con- vertible terms. Allgood vs. Williams 92 Ala. 551. The signal corps men who voted al the last election have been dOmi oiled, resided, and lived in Alaska for several years previous to the las election. Most of them are married men, living with their families il and a number owning thel own homes; most of them payinE taxes and all have declared their in tention of making Alaska their home Applying to these facts the forego ing quoted law read in connection with the legal definitions of the con trolling words, it does not seem t me that there can be thet slightes doubt as to these men being lega voters.
 There can be no question as t the right of enlisted men in the Unit ed States army who enlisted outs1d of Alaska to change their residence to Alaska if they so desire.
 Although residence cannot Ee eaIned or lo5: by reason of the persons presence or absence, while employed in the service "f the United States, yet one so cm. ployed may change his resi- dence." Darragh vs. Bird 3 Or. 229.
 "All persons residing on a gov ernment reservation in a terri tory which has not been admitted into the sisterhood of states may, if otherwise qualified, vote at the place where they are stationed" 15 Cyc. 295.

Cus DC1LS IuIOWu HI C1OoS COuCdCI with the signal corps men, they are anxious to know the reason, if reason there be, why they are discriminated against in the matter of the ballot. The following letter from a we'll known lawyer throws new light on the controversy, and is worthy of seri- ous consideration.
 Cordova, Alaska, Aug. 27, 1919. To the Editor of the Cordova Daily Times:
 I beg leave to briefly reply to an article that appeared in the columns of your paper under date of August 21, contributed by MT. E. E. Ritchie, the subject being "Why Should Not Signal Corps Men Voter"
 In this article MT. Ritchie states in substance that the law prohibits signal corps men in the service of the United States army from voting at a general election in Alaska. 1 wish to absolutely and uncondition- ally contradict Mr. Ritchie as to this statement and I challenge him or any other person to cite a single statute or law passed by the United States congress Or the Alaska legislature that prohibits the signal corps men in the United States army from voting in Alaska at any general or special election where they possess the quail ficatiOns of an electOr, namely, citi zen of the United States over the age of tWenty-one years; having lived or resided in the territory of Alaska for one year, and in the precinct where they offer to vote thirty days, imme- diateIy preceding the election.
 There are just three enactments bearing on this question.
 First-Section 1859 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States fixes the qualifications of electors at the first election in any organized ter riOry of the United States Section 1860 provides:
 At all subsequent elections
 of voters , shall be such as may be prescribed by the legislative assembly of each ter ritory; subject, nevertheless, to the following restrictions on the power of the legislative assembly, namely:
 Third-NO officer, soldier, sea- man, mariner, or other person in the army or navy, or attached to troops in the service of the Unit
 ed States, shall be allowed to
 vote in any territory by reason of being on service therein unless
 such territory is, and has been
 for the period of six months, his permanent dOmicile"
 SecOnd-The act of congress pro- viding for the election of delegate to congress, passed May 7, 1906, pro- vides for the qualifications of voters, found in Section 394 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, as follows:
 "Al1 male citizens of the
 States twenty-one years of age
 and over who are actual and bona fide residents of Alaska, and who
 have been such residents con- tinuously during the entire year
 immediately preceding the cleo tion, and who have been such res
 idents continuously for thirty days next preceding the election
 in the precinct in which they vote, shall be qualified to vote for
 the election of a delegate from
 Alaska"

MANY FRIENDS TELL
 THEIR DEEP SORROW

ALBUQUERQUE \. NJ, Jan. G. Senator A. B. Fall, who was to have nominated Colonel Roosevelt for the presidency on the republican ticket at Chicago in 1912, and a lifelong friend of the former rough rider tele graphed a local newspaper from his this evening. when informed of the coloners death, as follows:
 Your telegram shocked me. Theo- dore Roosevelt stood in this critical period for America and all that the United States of America meant to Washington, Jefferson. Hamilton. and the fathers, and to the patriots who have followed them. He stood for nc mushy, surface sentimentaism or i'm practical idealism. His patriotism was not of words, merely. His counsel was needed now as never before Therefore, his loss at this time must mean that the plain people of America must perpetuate this government by the might of their will, without the present guidance of their great spokes- man. I cannot understand tLis scheme of things which would permit the talk ing off of this man at this time. We can only greve."

 T am deeply shocked" said Thomas F. Ryan. The country has lost q man who always fought for what he be- lieved to he right, but more than all, he was a true American
 John Mitthell former head of the United Mine Workers of America, now chairman of the New York state food commission, said the coloners attitude towards industrial and social right eousness had a tremendous influence upon the minds and activities of all those forces which have worked for hu- man .betterment-and his death de- privd America of a force which it had need of. in the solution of the read justment problems growing out of the war"

HIS GOVERNMENT NOT LEAST IN ITS RESPECT

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-Washing- ton. representing the nation at large, gave solemn and earnest expression today to the country's regret at the death of Theodore Roosevelt and it's admiration for his character and achievements.
 Flags on every government building throughout the United States, and at every army post. and on every naval vessel, were ordered placed at half mast. The senate and house adjourned after eulogies of the former president had been delivered by both republicans and democrats, and committees had been appoitned to attend his funeral and the supreme court took unprece- dented action in adjourning without the transac ction of any business.
 Formal tributes were paid Colonel Roosevelt by Government officials members of congress and cabinet off cers. President Wilson Vas cabled the news by the executive officers of the White House. Many touching state ments of personal grief were made by men and women who had been associ- ated closely with the former presi- dent during his life in Washington, particularly the seven years of his residence in the Waite House. and members of the diplomatic corps eX- pressed the admiration which the peo- pies in foreign lands held for him.
 Drape His Bust in Crepe
 The bust of Colonel Roosevelt, in the senate corridor, was draped in crepe The National Press club, where the former president frequently had been a guest and a speaker, postponed its annual inauguration of officers and the frolic to follow. which was to have been humorous version of the Yer sailles peace conference with Colone . Roosevelt as one of the characters. Political effects of Colonel Roosc- velt's death began to be discussed eve: while the capital mourned the passing , of one of the leading figures in Ameri- can public life. Inasmuch as Colone Roosevelt had been mentioned promi- i nently as q possible presidential nomi- ] nee in 1920 it was inevitable that hi. passing should cause speculation as tt ! other candidates.
 Since the republican schism of 1912 and the return of the democrats t, power, Colonel Roosevelt admittedly had been out of harmony with som, elements Of his party. Republican ] leaders asserted that the death of thu founder of the progressive party woul, mean the complete reunion of the re publicans.

Famous Dewey Cable

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-In, the re- cords of the navy department, Theo- dore Roosevelt has left many memor- ials to his keen interest in the service but none more striking than an order cabled to Admiral Dewey on February 25, 1898, nearly two months before war was declared on Spain, in which the first step toward American occu- patton of the Philippine Islands was taken.
 Mr. Roosevelt. then assistant secre- tary of the navy, issued the order without the knowledge or approval of Secretary Long, and in his autobiog raphy, he described this as one of the times when he seized opportunities presented by the absence of the sec retary. to take steps toward prepara- tion for war which he regarded as vital
 Mir. Roosevelt had repeatedly urged that prompt action be taken to make ready for war. He believed Admiral, then Commodore Dewey. commanding

WARSAW, Sunday. Jan. 5.-(B By The Associated Press)-Members of the conservative and liberal parties of Po- land. under the leadership of Prince Eustache Sapieha, made an attempt carly today to gain control of the gov crnment besause General Pilsudski, the dictator. refused to reorganize the cab met and admit other parties than the socialists.
 The attempt. up 10 this hour appar- cntly had been unsuccessful. The day passed without casualties except for the accidental killing of one soldier. who attempted to prevent the arrest of M Thugut. minister of the interior.
 one of the measures of Prince Sa- pieha. who was aided by 300 civilians. was the arrest of Premier Andreas Mo- raczewski. minister of the interior: Thugut; Foreign Minister YasiIewski. and the chief of police Of Warsaw. It is reported that six members of the cab inet still are prisoners and may he kept as hostages, although this is denied at the headquarters of General Pilsudskl in the Belvidere palace.
 Pilsudski Too Clever
 The attempt was started by the occu- nation of all state offices and the headquarters of the garrison of War saW in the Place de SaXe The head quarters was used by Prince Sapieha and his assistants. His principal mil itsry aide was Colonel JansZagtis, who had arranged 10 have several regiments at the disposal of Prince Sapieha. The troops. however. failed 10 appear The central telephone office also was seized.
 The plan of the conservatives and liberals appears to have failed, not only because they were unable to keep Gen cral Pilsudslii a prisoner but princi- pally because the generals chief of staff, Sheptiiski refused to permit the army to he used for political purposes.
 After the arrest of the ministers, of ficers dressed as civilians went to the Hotel Bristol at 2 o'clock this morning. arrested Colonel Sheptitsl and ordered him to go to the place de SaXe When he arrived a. the headquarters. he or dered the guards to arrest the men who had arrested him. This was done Shep- titski also told Prince Sapieha that he would not permit the army to take par1 in political matters.
 A group of the opposition forces went Ia the Belvdere palace where they were arrested when they said they had come to speak with the newly formed temporary government
 General Pilsudski, at o'clock this afternoon. went to the Place de Saxe and had brief and heated converse . ton with Prince Sapieha. the upshot of which was that the prince agreed 10 drop lys attempt, provided that his of ficers and other aides were not ar rested
 It was also promised that the minis tcrs would be liberated. It would ap- pear that Ignace Jan Paderewski knew that the attempt would be made and that he went to Cracow in order not to be present. General Pilsudski has sent Tor Paderewski for a consultation with regard to the new cabinet
