BABE RUTH OUT OF BASEBALL FOR
 BALANCE SEASON
FINED S5,ooo FOR DRUNKENNESS MISCONDUCT AND BREACH
 OF DISCIPLINE

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31 (P)-Babe Ruth was indefinitely suspended from play ing baseball, and was fined $5,000 by Manager Miller Higgins today, with the brief explanation that Ruth was guilty of misconduct in the field"
 When he was asked, does "miscon- duct off the field mean drinking" he answered, "Of course it means drink ing, and it means lot of other things besides. Patience has ceased to be virtue. I have tried to overlook Ruth's behavior for some time, but finally decided to take summary &C., tion to bring the big fellow to his senses"
 Ruth early this morning was seen in white flannels around his hotel, ap- parently without care in the world. He later appeared at the ball park but left before the game.
 Says Through With Yankees
 CHICAGO, Aug. 31 (P)-Babe Ruth declared today that he is through with the Yankees this year, and added, T will not play in 1926 if Huggins is manager. I am through with the Yan- kees. I will not play for him. Either he quits or I do. Huggins is making publicity trying to blame me for the
  tion The truth is that Higgins is in competent. He has a wonderful team which in the past virtually managed itself and last year lost the pennant when it should have won by fifteen games. It was Huggins fault. He did not get the most out of the team be- lieve we have the best team in the League this year."

Recommends Literacy Law to Make More Intelligent
 Electorate

BELLINGHAM, Aug. 31. (P)-Rep- resentative A. M. Free returned here today, after a three months tour of Alaska, where he made an investiga- tion of the fisheries with a party of other government officials. Repre- sentative Free calls Alaska the Hand of mistaken policies" and said these mistaken policies include the building of the Alaska Railroad government regulation whereby only one mining claim month can be taken up; for estry policies, whereby the forests un- der leases, are revalued every five years.
 Would Pass Literacy Law
 MT. Free further declared:
 "The exploitation of Indians in
 Alaska is the worst thing that
 could happen to the country. Ger
 tain leaders tell the Indians if they
 put up money they will get dol
 lar for their fish, thereby eIimi-
 hating the traps, and that they
 can dictate the policies of Alaska.
 Thousands of dollars have been
 collected under these promises.
 If congress would pass literacy law permitting only those who can read and write to vote it would make a more intelligent electorate and would remove the temptation to exploit the indians"
 Voice of Alaska is Radical
 The voice of Alaska is radical, de- cIared Mr. Free, and the attitude of the radical is to attack anybody want ing to put money into Alaska. This is evidenced by their attitude toward the canneries who pay sixty seven per cent of the taxes. Free also adVo cated conservation, as on the salmon industry.

Marks
Properties Will Be Final
Settlement Of Claims
by. Prussia.

BERLIN, Dec. Properties, the
value of which has been estimated at
60,000,000 marks. with 30,0O0,OOO
marks in cash, will be turned over TO
the former kaiser by the government
of Prussia under, an agreement reach
ed in final settlement of the Hohen-
zollern property claims, according TO
official figures.
This is less than one-sixth of the
original claims filed by the former
kaiser. the original claims totalins
600,000.000 marks.
GETS FOUR CASTLES.
Under the agreement the ex-kaiser
is to get four castles, 100000 acres
of land and forests, number OF lots
and houses in Berlin and Potsdami,
the family jewels and the Hohenzoi-
lern furniture.
The lands and forests are estimated
by the finance ministry for taxatlon
purposes at 44.0S0,000 marks antpthe
rest at 78.O0S,OS0 marks. In spite
Of the slash in the original demands
the settlement still makes the former
ruler one of the richest men in Ger
many.
BURDEN ON PRUSSIA.
The burden falls entirely on Prussia
az the kaiser was paid only as king
of Prussia and received nothing as
emperor of Germany. Other states,
however face similar situations with
their own ex-reigning houses. The to-
tai claims of all the ex-rulers of Ger
man states is put at more than 1,OOO,-
100000 marks.
Prussia is to retain historic castles
and historic furniture and art works
in Berlin and Munich, the crown inf
sigma, the Hohenzollern museum IN
the ex-royal castle in Berlin, the
royal archives, the former royal theat
ters, divers city properties, AND
1000 acres Of former crown lands.
The settlement only needs the arr
prevail of the Prussian diet.

To Make Study of Glacial Action at Hartman Fjord
 Prince William Sound

To measure the action of glaciers at Hartman Fjord in the Port Wells district, Mir and Mrs. G. W. Handy departed from Seward on the steamer Yukon for Cordova from which point they will visit the little known beauty spot of this region. Merl La Voy, Fox Film moving picture photogra- pher, who is making Seward his head quarters while journeying about the Territory for the next six months, states that Hartman Fjord is the most magnificent picturiol scene in the entire Territory and probably the least known. MT. and Mrs. Handy agree with him for they also visited the fjord in 1914 at which time as members of the National Geographic Society they obtained measurements of the glaciers, of which there are six lives ones, all coming down to the waters edge.
