FORMER RULING CORRECTLY SET FORTH PRECEDENCE
 FORMER YEARS

WASHINGTON, April 10, (R)- Social Washington awoke to find it's whole order on the brink of either a collapse of a thorough overhauling as the result of the declaration of Secretary Stimson, of the State department, that 1t will no longer decide questions of .Jrecedence affecting the diplomat lc corps.
 The Secretary'S decision was teached in response to the pro- lest of Vice President Curtis against che ruling of Kellogg that his sis Ger, the official hostess, be seated at official dinners below the wives of diplomats
 Stimson in his reply to the re- quest from the diplomatic corp for ruling, correctly set forth the precedence of former years but said the department has no au-
 horitv to determine the social status of any except foreign repre- lsentatives.
 He said the precedence which American officials wives be receiv- ed within the homes of diplomats, rests wholly to the discretion of the members and that corps, them ! selves.

RESENTS HANDICAP IMPOSED SEWARD
 WHARF REVENUE.
RETIRING MAYOR, AFTER LONG TENURE IN OFFICE, APPRE-
 CIATES PAST HELP

At the close of six years of eff ficient administration of city af- fairs Mayor L. V. Ray was inter viewed by the Gateway and re- quested to state what he consider ad outstanding matters of import ance during the period covered by his tenure of office.
 MT. Ray stated the accomplish ments and lack of accomplish ments obtained during that period spoke for themselves. He resent ed the handicap imposed upon Seward as compared with other coast cities of Alaska by the de- privation from the revenues of Seward of the 10 cents per ton tax on all commercial freight dis charged over the Seward wharf; that this revenue If received would have maintained the overhead ex- penses and to a great extent paid for Hume improvement, schools, municipal light plant and other benefits.
 MT. Ray felt his efforts in secur- ing the sum of $1O,0O0 by Terri torial appropriation for the Lowell creek Hume WIS probably the most beneficial from a money stand point. and felt we'll satisfied with the support of the council in saw ing the $15,0O0 which was paid over last May to the Alaska Road Commission.
 T feel now, and have always been of the opinion, the blocking up of the outlet of Lowell creek was the sole cause of the tremend- ous damage inflicted by flood wat CTS on Seward property, and that instead of being compelled to con tribute toward the protection of property. we should have been in- demnified for the losses sustain ed".
 MT. Ray also said that he had confidence in the statesmen com prising the new administration; and had no doubt Seward would benefit by a change of officers Six years is long enough. fully appreciate the confidence Seward citizens have shown in me and their approval of any constructive progress we have made"

Paris-Despite his millions, vaguely
estimated at from SIS, 100000 to $685.
100000, Harry f. Blackmer, American
oil magnate, is virtually being held a
prisoner in France, where he fled to
escape legal difficulties in this land.
It is true that he is not-a prisoner
in the sense that he is incarcerated in
one spot, but If he chooses to retain
what freedom he now possesses he
dare not cross the border lands OF
France. He cannot get passport to
America, unless he agrees to give
himself up to face the charges that
are lodged against him. and he can
not go to England, Switzerland or
Italy without the danger of arrest.
For millionaire who has been &C.
customed to go where and when he
pleases the situation undoubtedly is
difficult.
Blackmer is wanted on charges of
classifying income tax returns, an ac-'
eusati0n prefarrea by the United
States Treasury department. He was
