CONTEST CASE
 REVEALS SOME
 ILLEGAL VOTES

In the hearings held before Frank H. Foster last week in the matter of the contested election case of Wick ersham versus Grigsby, involving the seat of the latter as delegate in con- gress from Alaska, testimony of a most startling character was adduced, showing that illegal voting had been indulged in at the last election in this city, and that it had apparently been aided and abetted by friends of the contestant. It was brought out that steamboat men from Interior Alaska, men and women from the Tolovana, and other residents of the Fourth di- vision, had voted here on their way Outside, and according to the testi- mony most of them had voted for Wickersham.
 What is alleged to be a most fla grant violation of the law in the inter- est of Wickersham was that of a woman who teSt1ned that she was urged by her employer to vote for Wickersham, and upon her statement that he wa not sure as to her right to exercise the franchise, was told that if she voted for Wickersham she might have a day off from her work.
 Altogether, it developed that about nine illegal votes had been testified to at the hearing.
 Some of the illegal votes were those of men who had been under the i'm pression that they were entitled to vote on the strength of having made declaration of intention to become citizens.

BIG ORDER FOR COAL
 IN EUROPEAN MARKET
 LANDED BY AMERICANS

LONDON, Aug. 20 Correspondence of Associated Press) British indus trial interests view with alarm the gaining of a foothold by American exporters in the coal market of France and Denmark. Industrial disputes in Great Britain have given American dealers an opportunity to obtain huge orders in quarters for mcrly supplied exclusively by South Wales mines.
 American dealers are said to have contracted for the delivery of over 100000 tons of coal in France and negotiations are now under way for an additional half-million tons. One or two cargoes of American coal al ready have been laid down in Den mark as sample shipments, orders for which were placed last March during the strike in England, it is stated The price was said to be $25O per ton lower LndH IAe HnSHoA pAle0 o' that time
 The iron and steel industries of England also are said to feel their outlook is not very hopeful because of opportunities afforded American competitors through the curtailed English coal production.

YOUNG REVOLUTIONIST
 HAD DlETE0RIC CAREER

BUDAPEST, Aug. 12 (Correspon- dence Associated Press) ).-"Comrade" Sczamueli, one of the organizers of the Red army, who was shot while at tempting to cross the Austrian from tier after the fall of Bella Kun, was one of the most spectacular figures in the brief but sanguinary reign of the Hungarian Bolsheviki.
 Sczamueli was thirty years old, the son of small landowner. He worked on the Budapest radical newspaper, Nepsave, and was rather an obscure member of the left wing of the Social Democratic party. He entered the army and was among the officers cap- tured by the Russians in 1915. They sent him to a Siberian prison camp where he remained until the BOlshe- vik revolution, when he went to Mos COW. Here he took a leading part among the agitation of the prisoners of war, and became interested in the BOlshevik movement
 Returning to Hungary after the downfall of the Hapsburgs, he worked unceasingly in preparation for the Bolshevik coup d etat, enjoying great popularity among the soldiers.
 After the soviet government was set up, Sczamueli entered the govern ment as a member of the war college, and passed much of his time Organiz ing the Hungarian Red Army. He took a personal part in resisting the | Rumanian advance.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER A, 1919
EDUCATE THE LEGISLATORS

Fish Commissioner L. H. Darwin of Washington is on the right track In taking a party of state senators from the inland districts on a person ally conducted excursion over the Puget sound fishing grounds during the salmon season. To legislators as to many others living in the interior Of the country, the word fishing" is too often apt to bring the idea of a can of worms, willow pole and a long summers day; and as long as tEis idea persists it will always be difficult to secure for the fisheries the attention they deserve, or to bring about constructive action on fishery matters by the legislative bodies. In view of the widespread lack of knowledge of or interest in the fisheries in the inland communi- ties, even among otherwise we'll informed people, the frequent mis- co-riage of efforts to obtain adequate measures for their conservation and upbui-ding is not surprising.
 If the fisheries are to receive the serious consideration that they should have from tho lawmakers, the popular conception of them must be changed from the primitive one men, toned above. They must find some popular appreciation as a most inn pOrtant source of the nations food, tEe preservation and welfare of which is as much to the interest of the peo- pie of the interior as of those along the cOasts-as one of the great nat ural resources to be wisely developed and conserved for the public benefit, and which if undeveloped are useless, and if misused or destroyed can not easily be replaced. The fisheries need many things, but the underlying need is for intelligent understanding on the part of the public.
 Il all tHe IeSls1dLoIS CouIu V1s1t Cne fisheries, and get first-hand knowl edge of conditions, tendencies and methods employed, there is little doubt that this part of the country s resources would be more amply pro vided for and more wisely admins tered than at present. In the case ot Alaska, where the need of wise, con structive action is becoming ircreas ingly urgent, it is especially desirable that conditions should be brought viv idly before more of the United States congressman and senators.-Pacifi' Fisherman.

ENGLISH FARMERS USING

LONDON, Aug. 27 (by maiD The fields of England are crowded with harvesters and in many of them farmers and their hands are working in the moonlight to gather the crops.
 This is the most crowded time for the English farmer in many seasons as the early crops were late and late crops were early. There is an in- creased use of farming machinery in harvesting the winter wheat crop. This crop is not particularly heavy but has been we'll ripened by the in- tense August sun.
