PINKERT0NS BRING SUIT
AGAINST MOBILE WOMAN
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 27.-An ap-
plication for the appointment of a
receiver of property in New York Of
Mrs. McKie Bennett Hopkins Of Mo-
bile. Ala, said to be worth 1000 was
filed in the Supreme Court today by
William A. and Allan Pinkerton, con-
Quoting the Pinkerton Detective
Agency. The application was made
on a judgment for $10,945 obtained
against her by the Pinkertons in
1918, which they have been unable to
collect.
Mrs. Hopkins obtained a divorce in
1914 from DR.. John r. Hopkins, a res
ident of Atlanta. Ga. Subsequently
she brought suit against her son,
Russell l.. Hopkins, who died in 1919,
to recover property she alleged he
obtained from her, but she dropped
the suit later. In applying for the re-
ceeiver 1t was alleged by the Pinker-
tons that suit was brought against
her in Mobile, where she has made
her home in recent years, to recover
on the six-year-old judgment.

BRITISH PRINCE GEORGE
is SPECIALLY FAVORED
Youngest Son of King Conceded
Financial Privileges Tending to
Tighten Human Burdens.

Correspondence Of The Star and New York
World.
LONDON, December 2o-Prince
George, sublieutenant in the British
navy, and youngest surviving son of
King George V, need not starve for a
year or SO, if his family are ever
elected from the British throne.
Recently he was admitted to the
freedom" of the MERGERS Company
of London, and can claim some pecu-
liar privileges under the ancient
charter of that institution.
For instance, he can obtain a loan
of $4,000 for five years without Sc
curity or interest from one of the be-
quests of some long-forgotten mem
Der of the guild. And in "old age or
misfortune" he can obtain practically
indefinite relief from funds founded
by the famous Lord Mayor Dick
Wilmington and other benefactors.
The MERGERS Company of London Is
the senior of the ancient civic guilds,
or Livery Companies" and numbers
more than dozen lord mayors
among its members. It's antiquity
may be imagined from the fact that
the father of Thomas a-Becket was
member of the guild.

1t is recorded that Mr.. and Mrs,
Burden came to London 80 years ago
and took a suite in a hotel opposite
Devonshire house in Picaddilly, which
is the London home of the dukes of
Devonshire. From their windows the
visitors admired and came to desire
the stone pillars of the gateways and
the urns surmounting them.
Year by year, 1t Is related, the Bur-

the same suite Of rooms so they might
look at the prizes they hoped one
day to possess. With announcement

Peace Up to Germany.
But what of political Germany? The
Spring election represented the tri-
umph of the Nationalists and the De-

still lack the necessary majority to

elsewhere there still come disturbing
rumors of the preparation OF a war
Of revenge, of the secret gathering of
military stores, above all of the sur
vival Of the spirit which, beyond all
else, men OF other nations regard as
responsible for the great catastrophe
Yet the peace of the world ulti-
mately depends upon the arrival of a
peaceful spirit in Germany. The fac,
that German admission into the
League of Nations seems assured, ad-
mission as a great power. has been
one of the most hopeful signs of the
immediate past. The survival of the
republic, also, holds out the promise
that in the end its history will be
like that of the third French repub-
lie, that 1t will endure until IT comes
to be accepted. But Germany has not
yet been able to throw up leaders,
such as rallied to the French repub-
lie in 1870-75, the tradition of and
training in democracy which have
made Britain and the United States

which they are has been lacking in
Germany and can only come with

ANCHORAGE MAYOR TO
 PUT HAT iN RING

Mayor NJ. J. Conroy, of Anchorage yesterday tossed his hat in the poli tical ring and took a squint or two 10 see that it stayed there and an n0unced to his friends that he would be candidate on the democratic ticket for nomination to the territor- ial senate. He said that he would file his candidacy with the clerk of the court at once.
 Mr. C0nroy's decision to enter the third division legislature contest makes the fourth candidate on the bourbon slate from this division. It is believed that he will not be oppos- ed for the senate nomination. The democrats who have filed for the house so far are A. E. Fucker of Se- ward, w. J. Bogard of Matanuska, and William A. Sherman of Anchorage.
 Conroy did not divulge to the press his platform but it is believed that one of it's main blanks will urge eco nomy in territorial expenditures.

It took the United States senate more than a month to elect chair man of the interstate commerce con- mission At theend of thethirty. sec ond ballot yesterday a democrat, re- presenting the minority party in con- gress, was elected His election was made possible through the support of the four nominal ropub.iCans-- radi calls who were elected on the republi- can ticket but who are no more enti- tied to be termed republicans than are small mugwump minority held the controlling power and preferred to support the candidate cl t.r opposi- h0n than to vote for candidates of the party under alltae sbanntr they enlisted solely iu the nope of being el- ected to office. Government by the majority cannot be carried on under such conditions. The democratic chairman will be unable to accom- plish anything and the result will be merely constant strife within the com mittee of which he is had The evil ot bloc government is that it is not representative and it is responsible only to Mpdratively small frac- tion of the population. Yet the blocs are increasing in congress and con- tributing to the general CO.,. fusion That is why congress is becoming more like milling herd than an ef- fective legislative body.

HARRY ST. GEORGE
 DIES AT JUNEAU

JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 31-Harry E. St. George, stricken with paralysis aboard the steamer Victoria yesterday while crossing the Gulf of Alaska. was taken off the vessel and placed in a local hospital this morning.
 His entire right side is paralyzed.
 He was unconscious when he arriy- ed here and has not regained consci- ousness. His blood pressure is 1So. and doctors say his condition is seri- ous
 MT. St. George has been advised by wire. Local friends and Masons are doing everything possible for the stricken man.
 When he left Fairbanks ten days ago, en route to rejoin his family in California after a several months business visit to this district. Harry St. George appeared in robust health. During his recent trip here he had disposed of practically all his inter- ests, intending to reside permanently in California, where he is survived by widow and two sons, Harry Elm nett who was born in Fairbanks, and Robert Yancy St. George, who at one time resided with his parents here and is now city clerk in Fresno, Cali fornia.
 Harry E. St. George was among the early stampeders to the North, Sue cess attended business and mining ventures in the Dawson district, and when Fairbanks was established as a mining center he moved here In 1920 he retired from active business, dis posing of prosperous real estate and brokerage interests and moved to Cal ifornia. He was prominently identifi- ed with the social life of the commit nity during his many years residence in Fairbanks, and was active in Ma osnic fraternal circles.

A COMMUNICATION
To the Seward Game Club:

To the Seward Game Club:
 Being a reader of the Seward Gate way, it has been my good fortune to read several articles in regard to the newly organized Seward Game Club In noting the proposals put before the club at the last meeting, which were voted upon and adopted in a program of suggestions to be placed before the Chief Game Warden, I will say that l consider some of the proposals very good material, and will undoubtedly be of material assistance in the pro- lection and perpetuation of wild life. However some of the proposals I do not believe will meet with the approv- al of the majority of the residents of this section of the Territory. I think that the Seward Game Club should consider these matters little more fully before final action, or bring the matters up, through the press, or oth- CT medium, for public discussion of tHC SuUJcCI lIfOlNtu, 0O dS tO liNC at point more in conformity with the views of the residents affected in this area.
 Taking, for instance, the proposal regarding the lowering of the present bag limit ca moose I cannot help but wonder if this matter were consider ed in the light that all of the bona fde residents of Alaska were confined within the limits of an incorporated city where they would always have a meat market at their disposal, as no doubt, the members of the Seward Game Club are, or if they reside forty or fifty miles from the nearest mar ket. The latter class of people will be the ones that such law, if adopt ed will work a great hardship upon, because we know that one moose will not provide large family of seven or eight persons with meat throughout the year. I would suggest, then, that the law governing the killing of moose be left as it stands, but that the club asisst the game warden in enforcing the exitsing law and doing what it can toward educating the users of moose meat to economise in it's use in ev- cry way possible. In other words, the club could suggest to those who need but one moose to be satisfied with one: and those that need two moose could have their supply and be within the law.
 In reference to the proposed game reserve of one mile on either side of the Alaska railroad, do not believe that this would be of any advantage or benefit to anyone concerned and personally believe that it would lead to a lot of misunderstanding and ac- cusation. For instance, if two men were walking along the tracks they could accuse third party, shooting ln the brush, of shooting at moose when perhaps he would be shooting at rab- bits or targets. Insofar as such a re serve being of benefit to big game the traffic of the railroad would preclude the chance of bigger animals becom- ing numerous within thearea prescrib- ed in the proposal.
 Practically all of the other sugges- tions adopted by the club are worthy of commendation, and I heartily en- dorse the proposal to award bounty on wolverine.
 would like to hear the views of others who are interested in the Alas ka Game laws, and would be very much interested to read their views expressed in a communication to the Gateway.
 Respectfully,
