Former Governor Riggs Asks
 All Alaskans Aid Gov. Bone

Plea for generous support" for Governor Bone, appreciation of the aid that has been given him during his term as Governor, regret at leaving Juneau, are expessed in a statement given to The Empire to- day by former Governor Thomas Riggs who yesterday ended his term of office which began on April 26, 1918. Mr. Riggs declares that i've all owe it to the Territory to help and not to hinder the new Ex- ecutive."
 No Notice Given.
 Commenting on the administration of the oath of office to Gov Bone in Washington, the former Governor said:
 Naturally I am somewhat sur- prised that Governor Bone should have taken the oath of Governor of Alaska in Washington without prev tous notice being given, especially when only the day before he had wired me that he expected to be in Juneau by July and made no men tion of his further intentions. How ever, he undoubtedly has some excel lent reason for so doing and I am sure that there was no intentional discourtesy to either the people of Alaska or to me. I think that when you meet Governor Bone the present irritation will be smoothed away and that you will find that he will endeavor in every way to discharge the duties and obligations of his office in a manner satisfactory to all.
 To Take Vacation.
 ''I should have been delighted to have remained in Juneau to greet the. new Governor and to have shown him every courtesy, but as he will not, be here until the second week in July, there would be noth- ing for me to do except to wait around for three weeks or more without occupation. want to take my vacation this summer and then get down to work by autumn, so we shall all probably leave here within a week or ten days. Our plans for the summer will not be settled until after we leave here. My final plans are not yet completed but I expect to return to Alaska and grow up with the country if the government will ever let us have an opportunity for Alaska must grow when a sane policy of administration is once es- tabhshed. Just now, person is taking @ good deal of chance to become connected with a business which might legally be wiped out by the stroke of a pen as. were the industries of 1906 and a19fO." SA sn;c Urges. Support to Museum.
 MT. Riggs takes occasion to ad- vance the cause of the Alaska His ttorical Museum which he was largely Instrumental in establishing. In, this connection he said:
 ,"'I sincerely trust that my leaving will not make any difference in the interest which I have helped to arouse in the Historical Museum. We have the start of wonderful collection and it would be.a calamity, to my way of thinking. if this great item of interest to the people of Alaska and its visitors should be allowed to die. Some day want to see the museum established in fitting quarters where it will become a civic and Territorial pride.

Bolsheviki Flee Kronstadt,
London Dispatch Declares
Especial Cable to The Herald. }

LONDON, March IL. - Dispatches
from the Russian border last night
indicate that Kronstadt els entirely
in the hands Of the rebels. and that
me lighting for the possession of
Petrograd still continues.
1t Is too early to say definitely
whether the Soviet forces have been
driven from the former capital.
OfYicial reports reaching the Brit
ish foreign once from the Baltic
states assert that Gen Kovlovsky,
leader of the rebels, Is marching on
Petrograd to reinforce the anti
Bolshevik troops in the city.
Central News dispatches from
Helsingfors credit the Bolsheviki
under the personal leadership OF
Minister Of War Trotzky with re-
capturing the fortress of Krasnaya
Gorka, on a hill on the mainland
south of Kronstadt.
A Bolshevik radio dispatch from
Moscow says:
s'The revolt forces us to consider
most seriously the internal situa
tion in Soviet Russia"
This is understood here to refer
cialists that they be represented in
the government.
Opinion in both London and Paris
Is that, although the present upris-
ings are undoubtedly serious, there
seems to be little prospect at pres
ent Of a general overthrow of the
Bolsheviki.

AMERICAN GOODS
CLUTTER UP PORT
Especial Cable TO The Washington Herald

and Chicago Tribuns.)
BUENoS AYRES. March H.
Several organizations of importers
and shipping. agencies have ad-
dressed a note to the government
stating that business conditions
generally, and consequently the na-
tion's economic situation, are ,preju-
diced by the port congestion. which
they blame principally on the huge
accumulation of rejected American
goods.
They suggested several methods
for relieving the congestion which
would permit a freer movement OF
goods. One suggestion was that all
the unperishable goods be removed
from the warehouses and piled in
vacant lots. wNere millions of dol
lars worth of American products
have already been dumped.
The present crisis is not ex-
pected to lift until the American
goods are iiquidated, as their pres
ence has a depressing effect on the
market. since it Is known that they
must be sold at any price obtain
able, which would be lower than
the amount asked for goods now
offered for sale in Buenos Ayres.
