By this we see that only at times of crises and for purposes of public defense has that lawo CT any portion of it been waived by Chief Execu- tives. If Presidents' of the United States have in the. past upheld and respected this. law and the policy that recognizes a Territory as an inde- pendent unit of our Government to be conducted by it's inhabitants, free from all encunfsrances of Home Office Agents, why should the legislators of Alaska persist. in disregarding and ignoring that policy and in snullify- ing the intent of Congress .,when it gave us autonomy. It would appear that the difficulty encountered in ob- taining the powers we now. have should have appreciated ftheir:4 value and should have aronsea tour most
 jealous regard for their maintenance

CTS by te0eE01 OmclalS and not for the purpose of limiting legislative powers. Congress .ddi not conceive it to be possible thzxt. 8 self governing unit of the United States. would be disposed to hzve.4its. administrative officials selected for it. by the central government 1. But Congress id know somethig of the unlimited desires for more poycersV which all bureaucrats possess. and that their Federal pow CTS would be exercised to gain Terri torial power.
 Itswasv for> the purpose of keeping Federal officials out of Territorial af- fairs and to prevent legislators from appropriating public .fnrds for their own benefit that James A. Garfield, a member. of Congress from Ohio, on January 8, 1873, placed in our stat utes. the following provision: That no law of any Territorial. Legislature shall be made or enforced by which any officer of Territory or the off cers or members of any Territorial Legislature shall be paid any com pensation other than that provided by the law of the United States" Sure ly that language is clear enough to be understood by anyone, and yet the letter and spirit of that law has been constantly violated by our local legis- lators. This disregard perhaps, contempt for -the lazss .46f f~-C Congress that placed inhibitioass ,sn local legis- iatiue authority, inhibitions that are for the public :. good, has fastened itself upon our legislators to such an extent that this contempt has become a challenege to !. those who would follow the spirit of the Organic Act, and it is my opinion that the challenge has been accepted, and it now remaincs for HIS to see what view the people of thte Territory take of the question
 The pernicious effect of what was recently called Establishing Jason with Washington" by. allowing off, cials of the United States to ,mix. in State and Territorial affairs ,.was clearly understood by American statesmen of the past.
 I cannot convey to the people of Alaska ..any. more convincing appeal for the restoration of our administra- ton of Territorial government. to. the same status of other Territories-the exact status in which Congress in tended it should be when the Home Rule Act, was passed--than by here quoting an executive order of Presi- dent Grant. given on January. 17th, 1875, and after reading it Lam sure they will agree with resident Grant that the interlocking. administration We have built up in Alaska since 1913 "is not in harmony with the genius of the (American) government:
 .sWhereas it.~has been brought to the notice of the President of the United States that many persons holding civil office by U. appointment from him, or, .0thexwiseA under the Constitution and laws, Of the United States, while holding such Federal po- sitions, accept offices under the au- thority of the States and Territories

S|NONCH BEATS WEL7ER CHAMPION
Pete Latzo Retains Crown Be- cause Title Vas Not at Stake

Chicago, March II. --- tUP) -- Pete I.atzo remains .wclterweight champion of the world but only be- cause his title was not at stake last night when he fought Joe Simonich. a hard swinging boy from Montana.
 For ten rounds the champion took terrific drubbing. A wild right hand Hailed him un- mercifuly and Latzo was able to win only the last round.
 Simonich was given credit for winning six rounds and three more declared draws.
 Simonich is an odd fighter, lack ing all Of the technique that goes 10 make champions. But he has one positive asset. That is his right hand.
 He has 3 good reach and last nigh, that right arm swung in wide semi-circles, landing repeatedly on the champions face and body. Latzo gamely attempted 10 bring the fighting to close quarters, where he was master, but Simonich stood back and Hailed away.
 His blows had sufficient steam 10 cut the features Of the champion, but they were not knockout punches. r was not appatent that either fighter was staggered.
 Once in the eighth round Latzo complained of being struck low but the referee ordered the fight to continue.
 In the tenth round only did Lat 20 look like a champion. He bored in with telling short punches to the body and kept Simonich busy on defense. But the wild punches Of the Montana fighter had piled up too big q margin in the earlier rounds.
 Lgst night was the second time in the present transforming trip of Latzo's that the champion has been defeated.
 The fight vas q non champion ship affair both mon entered over weight, Latzo at 149 l-2 and S.mouich at 150 3-A.

To Bill Carrigan, who returns to the majors this year as manager Of the Boston Red SoX, goes the unique If not altogether enviabie distinction of breaking up a batting rally in record time.
 Sent into a game with New York as pinch hitter in the first half Of the ninth, the bases filled and Bos- ton needing two runs to win. Carri- gan ended the days festivities on one pitched ball.
 Dangerous in the pinch, having q penchant for picking on the first good ball, Carrigan must have de- cided on that plan of battle as he walked to the plate. This. despite the fact the opposing pitcher seemed 10 be weakening fast and showing a tendency 10 be wild.
 The pitcher laid first one right. over and Carrigan took healthy cut at the ball. Just prior to the pitch the shortstop made dash for second to drive the runner pack. The pitcher erred in not delaying the pitch slightly, until the shortstop had chance to return to his position.
 As later events proved. it was one of those breaks of the game that de cided the issue. Carrigan hit line drive through the box that nine times out Of ten. with the infeld playing It's regular position. would have gone safe.
 Instead. the shortstop actually ran into the ball, making a clever catch, retiring the batsman. The runners were in motion with the hit and if was an easy matter to touch second. then throw to first, completing q triple play and ending the ball game.
 IL is one of the few games on record where the pinch hitter on one pitched ball broke up the game but unfortunately with "reverse english"

 IrOQnCe New Haven Entry

The New Britain church basket ball team. Hartford County "" titie-winner, handed a 59-15 trounc- ing to Woodbridge quintet, champion o: New Haven county, In the first round Of the state elimination tournament last night at the Hart ford '. VI. C. 4. The Hardware City team took the lead in the scc- oud quarter and after that it was only matter of how many points 1t would roll up. The victory car ries the local church players into the semi-lnals; these and the finals will be played off on Saturday afternoon and evening, March 19, probably in Manchester.
 During the first quarter New Brit ain could not get started against the heavier down-state aggregation. Barta opened with neat shot and Mercy scored on tap follow-up, but baskets by Patterson, Rogers and Hubbel gave Woodbridge an s-6 lead few minutes later. Barta tied the score before the quarter closed, and in the second period New Britain went better, Mercy, Barta and Os- borne scoring with regularity and May contributing q spectacular goal. The half found New Britain on top by 23-l0.
 The South church cut loose In the '-.' will; the locals ran up 3s points in this half while Woodbridge was held to two baskets, one an absolute present on a poor New Britain pass. Bill Darrow, who had gone in for Barta, played running guard and kept running; he dribbled and passed through the wavering Woodbridge defense to score eight baskets in the second half alone, the down-state guards being powerless to check him. The winners kept shifting their lineup as the score piled up, and every player broke into the scoring
 Darrow was the scorin. star of the game and played beautifully all around. The Bell Mercy combina- ton worked with accustomed effec- tiveness, and Barta made four goals from guard when the going was rough in the first half. The pass work was Of high order and be- wlldered the New Haven county five. Woodbridge could not penetrate the winners defense 10 any appreciable extent. Patterson was best for the losers. The game was exceptionally Clcan. The summarN.
