HOLLAND WILL NOT
GIVE UP WILHELM
HOLDS THAT PEACE TREATY IS
NOT BINDING ON THE
NETHERLANDS.
ANSWERS ALLIED POWERS
Constituent Laws of Country Have
Made 1t Refuge for the Van
qulshed In International
Conflicts.

Paris.-Holland's reply to the allied
demand for the surrender of the ex
kaiser for trial is an unqualified 70.
fusal. The reason for rejection Of
the allied demand as set forth in the
official note signed by Van Karnebeek,
minister of foreign affairs, is that the
right of sanctuary has been a tradition
Of the Dutch nation for centuries and
that in addition the laws of the ma.
ton forbid the surrender to an out.
side power of any person who has
sought refuge within its borders.
Among other things, the reply says:
1.-THE queen has the honor to OBJ.
serve, first, that obligations which
for Germany could have resulted from
article 22S Of the treaty of pease can.
not serve to determine the duty of
Holland, which is not party to the
treaty.
"The government OF the queen,
moved by imprescriptible reasons,
cannot view the question raised by
the demands of the powers except
from the point of view of its own
duty. 1t was absolutely unconnected
with the origin of the war and has
maintained, and not without difficult.
ty, its neutrality to the end. 1t finds
itself then face to face with facts Of
the war in position different from
that of the powers.
1T rejects with energy all suspicion
Of wishing to cover with its sovereign
right and its moral authority viola.
tons Of the essential principles of the
solidarity OF nations; but it cannot
recognize an international duty to as
sociate itself with this act of high
international policy of tie powers.
Nov. neither the constituent laws
of the kingdom, which are based upon
the principles Of law universally rec
ognized, nor respectable secular ira
dition which has made this country
always a ground Of refuge for the
vanquished in international conflicts,
permit the government of Holland to
defer to the desire of the powers by
Withdrawing from the former emperor
the benefit of its laws and this tradi-
ton.
Justice and national honor. OF which
respect is sacred duty, oppose this.
The Netherlands people, moved by
the sentiments to which in history
the world has done justice. could not
betray the faith of those who have
confided themselves to their free in
stitutions."

owen PROPOSES
TO LIMIT INTEREST
MEASURE PROHIBITS THE cHARee
ING OF MORE THAN SIX
PER CENT FOR
LOANS BY FEDERAL BANKS.
"Purpose Is to Stop Violent and ArbL'
trary Fluctuations of Interest
In Leading Cities on
Call Loans"

Washington.-De that high in.
terest rates on call money do not
check speculation but depress market
conditions, Senator Owen Of Oklahoma
introduced a bill to prohibit federal re-
serve banks from charging more than
per cent interest on collateral call or
30-day loans.
In a statement accompanying his
bill, Mr.. Owen, former chairman OF
the Senate banking committee, to
which the bill was referred, said he
hoped It would stabilize commercial
interest rates.
1.-THE purpose is to stop violent and
arbitrary fluctuations of interest rates
by banks in leading cities on call
loans" said Senator Owen. There is
no sound reason in these excessive
call loan rates which are alleged to
be justified by the desire to check
speculation. The high rates do not
stop speculation, but promote a small
er market and create situation that
permits insiders to sell short at q
profit.
"The call loan rates running from
4 per cent to 30 per cent have the eff
feet of injuriously affecting the COM
mercial and ordinary banking rates
and imposes an unfair tax on manu-
facturers, merchants and consumers.
and interferes with the stability OF
the business world.
Banks desiring to check specula-
ton can withhold loans on invest
ment securities and expand loans on
productive enterprises They can
raise the margin requirements and
check speculation without interfering
with the normal business rate
Banks ought to be content with a
fair rate and avoid usury. They
should respect the spirit of the stat
utes, which put a limit Of six per cent
as fair basis.
1.-THE national banks earned at fair
rates billion dollars last year, and
the public is entitled to a fair rate
of interest

SITUATION AT
 PREMIER MINE

R.K. Neill, general manager of the Premier mining company, and D.L. Pitt assistant general manager, came from Prince Rupert on the Provincial Friday morning, bringing with them six men, who have gone up to the mine.
 MT. Neill, who has been away since early in December, has little to say for publication concerning the recent diff culty with the mine crew except that he believes the men have made a mis- take in retarding the development of the camp. The working policy of the mine, he said, is in the hands of the fin ancial interests who have become asso- ciated with him and his partners, but nevertheless he has the power and au- thority to close the mine down entirely if he sees fit, and if the development cannot proceed peacably he is Inclined to do so.
 In regard to the Chinese cook, Supt. W. G. Harris said last night that it was not the foreman but himself who was re3)oa 'b,e f1r the cooks employment There had been a great deal of troube with white cooks. he said, ard the en- p!oyment of Chinaman was the only practical solution
 MT. Neill was asked concerning the suit brought against him by Maurice Bacon of $, okane for half interest in the mine, and his reply showed that he IS not worrying over the matter.
 At the mine the plan of development mas been changed since the walk-out, ami diamond drilling is being done in place of the drifts originally laid out. MT. Neill said that the management is prepared to hire miners as fast as room is made for them. but under the new plan it would be impossible to put the full crew who quit back to work. even if they should desire to go back.
 Ore has been coming down the hill and the Prince John will take out about 300 tons next week.

Writing to the Miner from Vancou- yer Tommy Burns, eX-heavy- weight champion of the world, manifests a keen interest in Hyder and suggests that the officials might do worse than appoint him chief of police.
 Tommy's heart is in the right place, and his smiling countenance would be like an added ray of sunshine to the community, but if he reads up on the Alaskan form of government he will find that chiefs of police are an unknown species in the Territory, which is ruled by bunch of mossbacks in the cent belt
 However, if he comes here he will be welcome, and there will be plenty of opportunities if he wantt to go into business, for which he has a good head

Several Big Steamship Com panies Preparing to Han- dle the Spring Rush to Hyder

In view of the expected influx of newcomers here, an active interest is just now b. ing taken in the transpor- tation problem, and according to word received from outside sources the ques- tion is worrying the outsiders more than it is the home folks.
 Governor Riggs is back in Washing ton and interviews he gave the Seattle papers intimate tat transportation facilities for this camp is one of the things which he will most strongly urge upon tine government.
 A Seattle report states that the s. berian Commercial Company will place the steamer Gedney permanently on the run betWe cen Seattle, Ketchikan and Hyder, making three trips month and starting from Seattle Feb. 1, and that if the business demands, the com pany will put another boat on the run.
 The Alaska Steamship Co. and the Paclhc Coast Steamship Go. are both figuring or the business and the latter has had rep. esentative here during the past week in the person of Harry Wood, their contracting freight agent. Mir Wood told the Miner that the company is prepared to put on all the boats that the traffic would war rant.
 As to wharfage facilities, MT. Wood said that floating barges, in combna- tion with the fast launches operated by Lake and Green, offer better facil- ties than are provided by the Stewart wharf, which will not accommodate vessels of large size and deep draft and on which it is not safe to unload any great weight of freight
