Admiral, Lost at Sea,
Makes GhosfIv Visits

There are few ghosts now left
In London. Even the famous phan-
tom in Berkeley square seems to be

when dining a few night ago in
Eaton place, that the house was
a haunted one.
Once 1t was the home Of an ad-
miral and his wife. Now 1t is split
up into flats. 1t is of the upper
part that this strange tale is told.
One night, when the admiral was
on the high seas, his wife gave a
party. All at once n of the
guests, a naval man, turned to the
hostess and exclaimed: "How well
the admiral is looking tonight"
The admirai's wife laughed
lightly and said: But my hus-
bands not here. You've mistaken
some one else for him. He's at
sea. you know" But later, other
guests, one after another, referred
casually to the admiral's presence.
She grew puzzled and discomfort

the old days the Blackfeet used t.
come and steal our horses, and nov
they want to steal our senator
The Blackfeet admitted the horse
stealing, not without some pride
but said that the cases were not
exactly parallel inasmuch as they
used to keep the horses they took
but that now they would be glad
to lend the Senator after they got
him.
Adopt Senator Wheeler
The Blackfeet argued that they
should be allowed to adopt the
Senator because they had come 400
miles through rain and mud to at
tend the meeting. They finally
won, when they claimed the privi-
leges as guests of the Assinni-
BONES to have whatever they de-
sired.
The ceremony was performed
by Chief Crow and Chief Wolf
Plume, Oldest Indians of the Black
feet delegation. In the christen-
ing speech Chief Wolf Plume said
part that because Senator
Wheeler had the interests of the
Indian at heart, it was decided to
give him the name of a great In
liam chief, a name which signified
power and symbolized love and
lelpfulness, the name of a chief
who always had the interests of his
people at heart and, for this rea-
son, it was passed on to Senator
Wheeler.

Secretary Davis suggests that, in view of the failure of Congress to fully understand the provisions of the law of 1917 when that statute was enacted, so far as it may re- late to the status of these people, the act should be amended accordingly.
 He further asks Congress to con sider "the necessity for special re- lief for the wives and minor children of aliens married at the time of entry, who entered the United States lawfully, for permanent res idence, prior to July 1, 1924"
 In view of the fact that all the recommendations of the Secretary of Labor are based upon his expe,- fence in the administration of the immigration laws during the h 1t six year or more, they should IT, ceive the careful consideration oE the committees on immigration and of both houses of Congress.

Citizens Of Alaska
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
 We ask you to read the accom- panying pamphlet on the restoration of Representative Government in the United States
 There is no section of our country where representative government is so much in peril of absolute submer gence in centralized autocracy as in Alaska.
 Do you know that Federal Bu- reaus and federal appointed officials have a strangle hold on the ad- ministration of our territorial gov ernment as we'll as on Federal Af- fairs?
 Do you know that control of your local government has been handed over to federal appointed officials by your elected legislative rep resentative? Do you know that one half of your members of the Alaska House of Representatives in 1925 voted to lessen the power of the people to select their delegates to Congress and their Attorney General in an attempt to return to the old caucus system of nominations and thus place the selection of candi-

the Territory?
 Do you know that the Attorney General of Alaska the only terri torial official that your representa- tives have permitted the people to select has been placed in absolute control of federal officials? Do you know that the office was originally created for the purpose of defend- ing the rights of the Alaska people in the courts? Do you know that since the office was created the leg islature has tied the hands of the Attorney General until he cannot act for the people without the consent of federal officials? Do you know that when the Department of Com merce undertook to set aside fish cry reservations for the benefit of a few corporations the Attorney General could not act in defense of the rights of the people in the courts because the Governor of the Territory would not permit him to do SO?
 Do you know that all territorial appropriations for the construction of roads are controlled by federal officials and that all allotments of road funds are made by these of- ficials?
 Do you know that the territorial road engineer whose salary and ex- penses are paid by the Territory is selected by federal officials and that he is responsible in the spending of your money to these officials only?
 Do you know that an aged res ident of Alaska cannot be admitted to the Pioneers Home at Sitka ex- cept by permission of federal off, cials? Do you know that the trus- tees of the Home are responsible to federal officials only? They receive their appointments from a federal official and neither the people of the Territory nor their representatives have any voice in the selection. An aged Alaskan cannot receive pen sion except by consent of federal officials.
