SOCIALISTS ASK FOR RELEASE OF
 MANY IN PRISON

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14.- Socialist delegations headed by Sey- more Stedman, candidate for the vice-presidency, have appealed to Attorney General Palmer for Sim mediate amnesty and the pardon of all federal prisoners convicted on the basis of political speeches, writ ings, or labor union activities" The appeal is supported by the argument that several European countries have issued amnesty de- crees and that there is a general disposition throughout the world to view less severely certain acts which were regarded as grave offenses dur ing the period of the war.
 Attorney General Palmer refuses to discuss the appeal or to intimate what his probable attitude will be in the matter.

COMMITTEE WILL
 CONCLUDE LABOR
 TOMORROW NIGHT

SEATTLE, May 1.-The mem bers of the Alaska committee be- lieve that it will be possible for them to conclude their hearings here tomorrow, by which time it is ex- pected that a Fairbanks representa- tive will be on hand to address the committee, and possibly also one from ketchikan.
 Colonel Brooks stated this morn ing that the hearings thus far held had covered practically all the in- dustries and problems of all sections of the Territory. He said also that the committeeman are well pleased with the results obtained. They have heard everyone who has ap- peared, and invited others who have not yet appeared. Some of them, the colonel remarked, are too bash ful to address the committee.
 Edward Saindon, Matanuska farmer; Thomas Larson. Copper riv- CT miner. and White Pass Wheeler were heard this morning, and C. Protopas. a Nome miner, is sched- uled to address the committeeman this afternoon.
 In talk given at d banquet rendered the committeeman here on Tuesday evening, Colonel Brooks ex- plained that the purpose of the hear lngs IS to ascertain the practical demands of Alaska rather than to visualize the possibilities of the Ter. ritory. More and better transporta- tion was the keynote sounded by everybody who was given the oppor- tunity to speak.
 Brooks declared that the greatest problem, in his opinion. is to get people to realize the value of Alas ka's resources, and he pointed to the fact that the vast coal deposits of the Northland are undeveloped and the first copper mine patented IS as yet untouched. The commit :ee is friendly, he asserted, and un- !erstands and appreciates the needs 1f the Territory.

PRESIDENT VETOES
 APPROPRIATION BILL

WASHINGTON, D. C., May IA It is announced at the White House this morning that President Wilson has vetoed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. His reason for refusing to give his ap- proval to the measure is that it con tained a section putting under con gressional control all Government publications. Such control, the President declares, would give Con gress censorship encroaching upon executive functions.

SOVIET FAILURE,
 DECLARES CHIEF;
 CANNOT SURVIVE

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14.- TH1e Bolshevik government in Russia is ghastly failure, according to Colonel Edward w. Ryan, Red Cross commissioner to North Russia and the Baltic, who has just returned to this city from a secret visit to the Esthonian mission.
 The Bolshevik government cannot survive another six months, Ryan declares. Both Moscow and Petro- grad are unspeakably filthy and fam ine-stricken, with no water fit to drink and a bread ration of quar- ter of a pound daily. The low grade inhabitants of the two cities are dressed like beggars and the streets are from ankle to knee deep in dirt, the accumulation of four years, during which time no effort has been made to improve condi- tions.
 The death rate, the commissioner says further, is abnormal, due to the filth and the low standard of living. Horse meat is the principal diet and there are no medical sup plies for those who require them. The schools are demoralized, and as for the churches and theaters, they are simply hopeless, Ryan declares.

Some Reason for 1t.
Barton Monitor.

The Bennington Banner reaches con
clusion about the scarcity. of deer in Or
leans county, which cannot be the fact.
While many farms III the mort ern part
OF the state have been sold to Canadians.
and while here and there farm has been
stripped of its timber and an occasional
sugar place cut, conditions are nothing
like the picture the Banner has drawn.
Orleans county probably has as much
wooded territory, both of second growth
and of virgin timber, as any of the coun
ties whore deer are more plentiful. In
fact, experienced hunters tell us that
deer frequent sections where numbering
operations have been carried on more
than other territory. finding certain shell
ter from the slash left by the woodmen
There is some reason more fundamental
than any yet given why there are fewer
deer in Orleans county than in the rest
of the state. Can our sportsmen, or game
wardens, or the state fish and game com
missioner, give us any information or
the subject?

NEEDS A COMMISSION

The need Of a commission govern
ment for the city of Burlington is shown
by the latest clash between the mayor
and board Of aldermen Of that city.
The city government having already
incurred an indebtedness of $4,000
for the conduct Of its government and
having power TO borrow only 453, 3SGS0
to pay expenses until the first Of
August, the mayor recently sent com
munication To the board of aldermen
asking them to adopt a policy of eeoao-
my and pledge themselves to order 10
new work until the resources OF the
government would allow The mayor
defined his policy of economy as fol.
lows:
= do not advocate stinginess, but
l DO advocate economy, just such econ
omy as a good business man would
practice
The answer of the aldermen was the
tabling of the resolution pledging econ
omy and the passage of resolutions
authorizing the fire commissioners t.
advertise for bids for new triple
combination pump for the fire depart
ment and for tractor and chassis fol
the hook and ladder truck at one OF
the fire stations of the city.
a large proportion Of the board OF
aldermen are practical business mel
and doubtless feel the expenditure.

vision Of authority there that pre-
vents the head of the city government
from enforcing a policy Of economy
This would be obviatcd if fhe city ha,

Burlington may be forced in the nca
future to adopt such n system to pro
tcct itself from financial distress.
