hostile 1egislatior by other nations Is
not beyond the range of possibility and
that ii may have to be met by counter
legislation. This subject has fortu-
nately been exhaustively investigated
by the United States tariff commission.
A recent report of that commission
has shown very clearly that we lack
and that we ought to have the instru-
ments necessary for the assurance of
equal and equitable treatment. The
attention Of the congress has been
called to this matter on past occasions
and the past measures which are now
recommended by. the tariff commission
are substantially the same that have
been suggested by previous admins
trations. l recommend that this phase
Of the tariff question receive the early
attention of the congress.
VIII you not permit me. turning
from these matters. to speak once
more and very earnestly of the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
which would extend the suffrage to
women and which passed the house Of
representatives at the last session Of
the congress? 1t seems to me that
every consideration of justice and OF
public advantage calls for the iTnmedi-
ate adoption of that amendment and
its submission forthwith to the legis-
! latures of the several states. Through

WOMAN CAUSED
 EXECUTIONS; IS
 ALSO EXECUTED

COPENHAGEN. March 20.-R)- Copies of the Bolsheviki newspaper published in Petrograd have been received in this city containing the proceedings of that party since 1t oc- cupied the city.
 AS part of the issue is list of names of those persons executed for political and other crimes Among those listed appears the name of Madam Sternberg Jakoleva, who was executed for being connected with the counter revolution.
 The madam has herself been held accountable for causing thousands of executions under the Bolsheviki re, gime as she was the president of the committee which had the passing of the death sentence upon many of the unfortunates who were suspicioned of being connected with counter-plot- ting against the Bolsheviki in that city. No reason was assigned for her execution, altho it was stated that she was concerned in the coun- ter revolution.

MEX. BANDIT
 AGAIN ACTIVE

JUAREZ. March 19.--P)--It is re ported here that Francisco Villa, the Mexican bandit, is about to resume his operations along the border Those who have arrived here from places further south state that he has been seen in the vicinity of Bus. tillos, in Chihuahua, and is very ac. tive in recruiting his followers. This action was observed not later than last Saturday.
 As soon as he has recruited his forces it Is more than likely that he will work northward and inaugurate another period of activity against his political opponents and also make raids across the border.
 A large Federal force is stated to be in the Chihuahua town and 1t Is believed that a clash between the two forces is imminent. The federals will attempt to wipe out the disturbing leader and restore quiet in the cen tral states of Mexico.

SUIT MAKERS
 GO ON STRIKE
 IN CLEVELAND

CLEVELAND. March 19.---(Pt--A strike among the garment workers was called in this city today. Four thousand clothing workers did not re. port for duty this morning and fully forty factories have shut down as the result.
 For some time past the delegates of the unions have been endeavoring to secure better working conditions for the members of the unions, which were denied by the employers.
 In presenting their demands an in- crea, ,e of wages, amounting to thirty perc ent, seven and one-half hour worl ing day and the recognition of the unions was requested.
 In answering the employers stated that under the present conditions 1t was impossible to meet the demand and offered to compromise. The pres. ent high price of wool and other ma. terial did not allow of any increase in wages. The employers were will. ing to give the unions recognition and maintain closed shop, but that was regarded as not being sufficient an. swer and the strike was called.

to MT. and Mrs, M. s. Eads, whose bodies were recovered shortly after the wreck The diver says O'Brien had a hole in his head. whether from self inflicted the diver was unable to state. It Is possible, owing to the bad state of decomposition, the mans bead may have been damned and crushed by the action of the current.
 The third body recovered was that of an unidentified woman, whose ring was taken from her hand over two weeks ago by the diver She was in room 35, which was the room occupied by Mrs. Winchell. and evidently went to the assistance of Mrs. Winchell.
 The body of Mrs. Winchell was not recovered It Is the theory of the diver that the bedsprings In the cabin have routed and given way, eand the body of Mrs. Winchell is crowded down under the lower berth in a mass of rotting bedclothing
 MT. Winchell went with the diver to the scene of the wreck. He says everything has been done that pos. sibly can be done until the weather conditions are more favorable for the work.

GERMAN SHIPS
 LEAVE HAMBURG
 FOR NEW YORK

LONDON. March 19.--(R)-Berlin despatches advise that the eight Ger man ships which were recently turn ed over to the United States to be used for transports in exchange for foodstuffs have left Hamburg bound for an American port.
 Included in the fleet are the Kai- serine Auguste Victoria, Cleveland, Graf Waldersee and the Pretoria. The despatches state that the piers were lined with people who assem- bled to witness the departure of the first German marine for many months.
 These ships will be taken to a designated place and turned over to American commanders and crews. who will man them while they are in the service of the United States. Sufficient coal has been loaded into the bunkers to take them to that port, but no more, as fuel Is one of the scarcest articles in Germany. On being turned over to the representa- lives of the United States the ships will proceed to America to be loaded with foodstuffs for Germany.

MINERS NEED
 PLENTY OF SNOW

The miners of the Fairbanks dis trict and in the Tolovana. who have winter dumps out, are earnestly hop ing that the present spell of warm weather will develop into heavy fall of snow.
 Freighters and woodhaulers, who depend upon this time of the year for putting in their most efficient work in hauling fuel, would wei come with joy another foot of snow For time it seemed as though their wish would be realized but scarcely enough snow fell to whiten the ground.
 An old time trapper of this sec tion was heard to say that only two winters of the twenty-two he has been in Alaska has he gone over his trap line without snowshoes, the past one and that of the year 1904-05. He came to Fairbanks on the l7th for his supplies and was unable to use his sled. all of the snow on the trail being gone.

 NlNETY-FIRST
 HAS ARRIVED


 TACOMA, March 20-To the cheers of thousands of citizens of this city and hundreds from the ad. jacent towns thirty-five members and three officers of the trench mortar battery of the ninety-first division ar rived here today. The street in front of the railway station was packed with friends of the men, whose ap- pearance from the depot was the signal of wild and enthusiastic out burst on the part of the people.
 Leaving this city two hundred and forty strong, they returned but less than forty. All of the men showed signs of having been in the war, The great decimation in the ranks was caused by death on the battle. field, many wounded in the hospital and few transferred to other divi. sions.
 The men will be taken to Camp Lewis, at which place they were trained for service, and be mustered out of service. The official desig. nation of this battery was the 316th Trench Mortars and was the first of the famous 91st division to see actual service.

SEATTLE WINS
 FIRST GAME OF
 WORLD SERIES


 SEATTLE. March 2O.-(F-The
 Metropolitan hockey team of this city last evening defeated the fast Montreal aggregation in the first game for the championship of the world by seven to nothing score. While the eastern men were unable to score the game was brilliant one nevertheless.
 The Seattle team started out with dazzling speed and scored their goals rapidly The eastern team were at the disadvantage of playing on strange ice and under the western rules, with which they were not very familiar.
 Next Saturday the second game of the series will be played under the eastern rules, which will make con- siderable difference to the visitors. The packers of the eastern champions have confidence in their team and are not discouraged over the defeat.

ARE BUILDING
 UP THE FUND

Another step forward in the or plan fund was made yesterday. two donations being received that materi. ally increased the standing. From far off Koyukuk Mrs. T. B. Wright sent in three dollars to provide for her orphan for month and the Pegues children. Jack and Jim, also sent in their three dollars.
 That is the way the fund 1t built up. From nearly every quarter in the interior money has been sent tc help support these fatherless chil dren. Adults and children alike con tributing to the cause of humanity. In all probability there never again will be an undertaking that will meet with such constant application of interest as has the orphan fund for the Fatherless Children of France as carried on in the interior of Al aska. The standing of the fund at the present time is $61.00.

STUCK AWARDED
 ENGLISH MEDAL


 LONDON, March 20.--(P)-At d meeting of the Royal Geographic SO ciety it was voted to award the Back Grant to Hudson Stuck in recogni. tion of his ascent of Mount Mckinley.
 The Back Granl is an honorary mem bership in the society and is granted to all explorers of the Arctic regions who, have acheived some noteworthy accomplishment. Sir George Back, a noted English explorer during the early years of the eighteenth century made extensive explorations in the Arctic regions and on his return to England gave the benefits of his discoveries to this society, which at that time was barely started. The awarding of the Back medal follows out the customs of the society as suggested by Sir George when he en- dowed the society with a fund for that purpose.

GIRL
 STATES ACTION
 WAS IMPULSIyE

SEATTLE. March 20.-(P)-Ruth Garrison, who is confined in the county jail here pending the formal lodging of the charge of murder against her for the poisoning of Mrs. Grace Storrs last Tuesday, stated today that she acted on the impulse of the moment in disposing of her rival. Giving as her reason that she loved the husband of the dead wo- man beyond anything on earth she declares that it was this infatuation that led her to commit the decd. She expressed the wish to know if StOrrs' love for her still continued in the face of her committing the act.
 Miss Garrisons demeanor is calm At times she sheds few tears but more at the thot that she has lost all she sought to attain instead of the commission of the crime. One of her most frequent wishes is that she might see and talk with Storrs, who Is at the time on his way from the Okanogan country where he was em. ployed.
 In giving the details of the crime Miss Garrison stated that she had purchased the poison while on her way to keep the luncheon appoint ment she had made with Mrs. Storrs Arriving at the cafe she stirred 1t into the fruit cocktail before the ar rival of her guest. who. unsuspect- ingly, partook of the doctored food, falling to the floor within a few seconds after taking the powerful drug and expiring in the hospital of the department store.

 IS NOW ASKED
 BY GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON March 19.-R)- The state department has been placed in charge of information which leads it to believe that dur. ing the recent intended revolution in Korea American citizens located in Seoul were not accorded the treat. ment due them by Japanese soldiers policing the Korean city.
 To ascertain the truth of the charges the department has request. ed the government agents stationed in the Orient to make thoro in vestigation of the matter and to ren. der a report at the earliest possible moment.
 It had been reported to the de partment that during the trouble the American consul to Korea had been arrested by the Japanese and that American missionaries, which includ ed many women, had been subjected to many indignities.

WILL CLJRTAIL
 FUR SHIPMENTS

Those who have been accustomed to make their fur shipments to the Outside thru the medium of the mail service will be denied that privilege by the trail route after April 20th. After that date all furs deposited in the post office for shipment will be held until the opening of navigation. This rule will also apply to all goods or things that are classified as dam ageable.
 This is new order and is caused by the possibility of the mails be- coming damp while being taken out over the trail. It often happens that in fording the many glacial streams between Fairbanks and the coast the mail pouches become slightly damp. This would be of no benefit to furs and the manageable class of mail and an ounce of prevention will save many a dollar to the consignor.
