Comptroller of, Treasury Says Senator Sutherland Is Not Entitled to
 Mileage

1 The Comptroller of the Treasury
 has ruled that Senator Dan A. Suth- erland was not entitled to mileage from Poorman to Juneau and from Juneau to Poorman for attendance at the recent session of the Territorial Legislature.
 l Senator Sutherland was elected to tho Territorial Legislature from the Fourth Division in 1916, claiming Poorman, near Ruby, as his resi- dence. He attended the Legislature and drew mileage from Poorman to Juneau and thence back to Poorman He never mado the trip back to Poorman, but remained in Juneau and voted here at tho last election.
 Shortly after the beginning of the fourth session of the Legislature last March, Senator Sutherland pre- scented a claim for $210.60, which recited that it was flor travelling expenses incurred in the discharge of his official duty as a member of the Alaska Legislature, during the fourth session, 1919.' the same be ing for mileage "my home" to the capital. He certified to this bill as "correct and true" and that the full amount thereof is justly due on his honor as a member of the Legis- lature."
 The bill was paid.
 The mpire charged that Senator Sutherland had grabbed money tc which he had no moral claim, and the legality of it was questioned.
 When President Frawley of the Senate certified to the amounts due Senators for return mileage there i was also transmitted to Gov. Riggs from the Senate Committee on Fin ance a recitation of the facts con corning the claim of Senator Suther land.
 This certificate and statement called the situation to the official attention of Gov. Riggs, who has charge of the disbursement of the funds appropriated by the Federal government for Legislative expenses. who submitted the question to the Interior Department, which referred it to the Comptroller of the Treasury.
 In copies of the decisions of the Comptroller of the Treasury rendered during the. month of May, received by all disbursing agents of Govern ment funds in Alaska, beinning al Page S66, appears the following:

 The submission is made at the request of the Governor of the Territory of Alaska, from whose presentation of the matter facts are quoted showing that member Of the Territorial Senate residing out side the judicial division in whicr the capital at Juneau is located received milage to and from the capital but did not return home after adjournment of the first session but remained at Juneau, voted al the next general election, and ap parently made Juneau his home. The questions asked are
 "1. Is a member of the senate who has. subsequent to his election made his home in division other than the one from which he is selected, entitled to receive mileage for travel from his former home to the capital for the purpose Of attending session of the legisla ture, although the travel has not been performed?

there. There are 100000 Lutherans

cities in these states last year the
average produced was more than $50

the most outstanding, feature of the

Correspondence Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd. October 4.-With
tho largest number of midshipmen
which has ever made UP the student
body. the Naval Academy began its
seventy-ffth year this week. The
midshipmen reported on Monday, that
day and Tuesday being occupied In
assignment to rooms. arranging sec
tions for classroom work and other
preliminaries, and the regular routine
Of drills, studies and practical work
began on Monday. For the nrst TIN
since the United States entered the
war. there are now four classes at the
academy, and the fell course OF study
is being pursued. =.
The membership of the regiment OF
midshipmen is 2.091, made up as 1oi-
rows: First class. S04: second class
800; Third class, IT'S; fourth class. 7Os;
AS midshipmen have been graduated
after three years of training while the
war lasted, the academy is still short
thA number contemplated under the
law, which is 2.40o. Bancroft Hau
has been enlarged to accommodate
that number and the classrooms ana
laboratories have been arranged Tor
the instruction of that number.
One Departure From Normal.
Only in the particular that the first
and second classes were formed by a
division Of last years third class, is
there any departure from the normal
in the scholastic routine OF the acao-
envy. The midshipmen now IN the
academy are those who entered WIN
three classes. While the course was
shortened to three years. the second
class was omitted To return TO the
normal. the division of the third c1ass
was made, so that the members OF the
present first class will have BEEN at
the academy but three years when
they graduate. All, others Will nave
been midshipmen for four years upon
their graduation. -.
The construction OF the ewo adol-
tional wings to Bancroft Hail tne
quarters, has been COM
pleted. and for the first time for a
number of years all the midshipmen
are housed under one roof. The build
ing now contains more than 1.2oO
rooms, being nearly double its origf-
nal capacity. It Is an immense struc-
ture. containing five and half miles
Of corridors, and Is thought to occupy
the greatest ground space of any
in the world. An addition to
the marine engineering building has
been constructed. and new building
for the departments Of navigation
and seamanship is being erected. The
transfer Of these departments will
greatly enlarge the accommodations
Of the department Of physical train
ing.
