ALASKAN ESKIMO HAS GREATLY
 CHANGED SAYS BISHOP ROWE

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-Alaskan Eski- mos have changed greatly in the last 25 years, since the white man became interested in their welfare. according to Bishop Peter T. Rowe, Episcopal bishop of Alaska, who has been an eye witness of their development.
 When first visited the Eskimos of Alaska they ate their meat raw and seemed to have very little object in life beyond eating" Bishop Rowe said here.
 To-day they are cooking their food, they are beginning to use stoves, their igloos are much bigger and clean CT, the children that have grown up in the meantime are bigger and bright CT. and their interests are much larger"
 The Eskimos did what they could to help America in the war by sending down feathers for pillows, Bishop Rowe reported. They killed ducks, geese and swans and collected con- esiderable amount of feathers A num- Der of young men went to the bishop and told him if the UniSed States need ed them to fight they were ready to go.
 The Eskimos are devolping sturdy character, the bishop added When warned against the bootlegger they steadily leave him alone.

WAR over COURT
Gov. Allen Predicts Industrial
Tribunal as Political Issue.
Speaks Before Baker Alumni at
Kansas City.

kansas City, Mo. Feb. 15.-Gov.
Henry j. Allen, of Kansas, was given
a splendid reception last night when
he appeared before the annual meeting g
of the Baker University Alumni asso-
citation and later before the Young
Mems Republican club, of Kansas City,
Kan.
Before the alumni association, the
governor talked on the Kansas indus
trial court law and predicted that the
next political battle m Kansas viii be
waged over that measure.
At the Republican club meeting,
Governor Allen talked on state taxes
and said that on July L the state ad-
ministration would be able to save
S1,500,000 in several state departments
because of the decrease in expenses in
operation of these departments.
In speaking of the industrial court
he declared it had already accom-
plished a great purpose. I'm its short
life" he said, ''thirty-four important
cases have been settled, thirty-three of
which were accepted favorably and
without question by both capital and
labor factions involved.
'@A court with a record like that is
working. If you give to the govern
ment the power of Justice over union
labor-and I am not opposed to union
labor-you can say to your union OF
ficials that a righteous government Is
in power and will justly settle all is
sues wherein the rights of individuals
are involved"

SCHOOL GETS COAL FOR LESS
Lowman Hill School Receives Coal In
tended for NJ. +. Church

The city board of education is now
in possession of several tons of coal
it did not expect to own. The Low
man Memorial Methodist church or
dered several tons of coal from a local
company and one of the drivers of the
company who was billed to deliver it
placed it in the bin of the Lowman Hill
school by mistake. AS it would re
quire considerable effort to remove
the coal, the company asked the
members of the board if it might not
issue a bill for the coal
The members of the board granted
the request. The coal company which
has the contract for furnishing the
city schools with fuel is now object
ing to action taken by the board on
the matter. The members of the
board discovered that the company
which delivered the coal by mistake
charged one dollar less a ton for it
than the company possessing the con-
tract. The members of the board be-
lieve the coal delivered by both COM
panies is of the same quality.

FUEL STOCK SAFE
Union Strike Can't Halt Pro-
duction Say Mine Owners.
Rail Trouble Only Chance for
Coal Famine Now.

Washington. Feb. 15.-A national
strike in the union coal fields can be
maintained in the United States for
several months without serious incon-
venience to consumers, according to
evidence by operators put before the
interstate commerce commission to-
day in the general rate hearing now
going on.
The commission taking cognizance
of threatened stoppage of pgoduction
in the union fields on April 1st, asked
J. D. A. Morrow, vice president of the
National Coal association, for statis-
tics covering the situation. The re-
sulting report filed today estimated
that norSunion coal fields have an an
nual output capacity of 295, 14S, 600
tons, or a weekly average production
of 5.676,000 tons.
This was on the basis of conditions
in 1918. Mr.. Morrow said. adding that
alterations had increased the number
and capacity of non-union mines to
approximately six million weekly.
Consumption of bituminous coal in
the United States at present is 7,500.-
900 per week, the report showed, with
a material decrease in sight after
April l. because of warm Weather. In
addition 47.000,000 tons of coal were
said to be in stock on January l, with
many consumers of coal increasing
their supplies.
The only danger to-eonsumers in the
strike, he said, would be from inter
ruption in railroad traffic, which
would stop the movement of coal fro n
non-union mines.

Storms Increase Rapidly.

Stockholm. Feb. 15.-The Baltic sea
has been converted into an isolated
lake owing to the closing of the Catte-
gat and the Sound by ice.
Five steamships, including the
Thule. from London, with twenty
seven passengers. are held fast in 4
dangerous position off the Vinga light
house.
The pack ice which is blockading
the Swedish west coast is of enormous
thickness, and the wind is continuing
to press it against the shore, increas-
ing the danger for the ships. Two
steamers alaeady have foundered,
their plates being crushed in by the
ice. The crews escaped.
The $500 ton Danish freighter
Tranquebar, from Galveston. and Nor
folk, for Copenhagen. and more than
twenty other vessels are imperilled.
Ice breakers, which ordinarily would
go to the rescue of the imprisoned
craft, are themselves, stuck fast in the
ice. No American vessels have been
reported in the ice Jam
