Your Committee on Resolutions
have carefully considered Resolu-
ton No. 4, for the payment of
claims for services rendered and
moneys expended in the prosecu-
ton of the Mile Lac Case'' and
submit the following report there
on.
. The facts in connection with the
said claims are correctly stated in
the preamble to the resolution, and
need not again be recited. In
1917 and again in 1918 the Resolu-
tions Committee of the General
Council. carefully inquired into
these claims. The claims first sub
mitted, with the exception of tne
claim of B. L. Fairbanks, we're
believed by the Committee at that
time to be excessive. Accordingly |
the Committee reduced said claims
to the amounts provided for in the |
resolution, which amounts your
present committee believes to be !
fair and just. Without the aid
furnished by said claimants the
Mile Lac case could not have been
prosecuted. This is particularly
true of the claim of B. L. Fair

Slackers' Status Defined,
 War Department Statement

WASHINGTON, May 14. - IF 2 statement intended to make clear the status of the men whose names will appear on the War Depart ment's official list of deserters, when published. the department describes such men as those who registered under the provisions of the selec- tive service law and failed to report for military service at specified time and place and although ordered by the military authorities to do so.'
 Under the law such men are re- garded as having been inducted into the military service as of the date on which they were ordered to re- port, the statement says, and since they have never been discharged from such service they are still re- garded as part of the military forces and liable to trial by court martial for desertion in time of war
 ''In justice to more than 24,000,000 men who came forward and regis tered for service" the announce ment concludes, "the War Depart ment is determined that steps shall be taken to apprehend and bring to trial every man found guilty of will full assertion"

HAPCOOD CHARGE BRANDED LIE AT
 ALASKA HEARING
Curry Denies Assertion Bill Would Hand Over Terri
 tory's Resources to Cars GREELEY OPPOSES BOARD Chief of Forest Service Suggests Plan for Inter-
 deparmental Cabinet.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 14-Rep- resentative Charles F. Curry, of California, author of the Curry bill providing creation of an Alaskan Development Board to administer Federal affairs in Alaska, created a sensation at the House Territories Committees hearing on the measure just before adjournment last night when he branded as false and malic- ious an article by Norman Hapgood appearing in the Washington Times, says a special Washington despatch received today by the Seattle Post lntelligencer
 Hapgood's article declared the House Committee is holding hear ings on a gigantic plan to hand over the resources of Alaska to a commission responsible to nobody. ," The article said that if the bill is enacted, into law it will make czars out of the Alaska commissioners, granting them the power to give away vast resources.
 Says Hearing Fair.
 Without trying to reply in detail to- the article, MT. Curry said the committee's hearings have been fairly and impartially conducted and declared the bill is only tentative and subject to amendment
 If Alaska needs relief in the form of legislation, we will en- deavor to afford that relief" he said. "If the Committee finds relief does not lie in legislation we will not pas this bill or any other"
 Other members of the committee also made angry protests against Hapgood's article.
 Yesterdays hearing developed strong opposition to the proposed development board from Col w. B. Greeley, chief of the Forest Service, who asserted that the Curry bill takes Alaskan resources out of the hands of the national government. Suggests New Plan.
 He said he deplored inconven- fences of long distance government of the Territory and infiexible regu- lations of the departments and of fcred as solution a plan for ap- pointment of commissioner, with tke rank of assistant secretcry, from each executive department, who would be directly responsible for administration of his department in Alaska.
 The commissioners, according to Col. Greeley's plans, would reside in Alaska and form an interde- partmental cabinet.
