Residence of Won Wuthenau,
Secretary, Is Entered
and Liquor Taken.
ANONYMOUS PHONE TIP
TELLS POLICE OF HAUL
Looted House, Unoccupied During
Absence of Diplomatic AIDE,
Otherwise Unmolested.

Smashing through basement door
and locked window, liquor thieves last
night entered the home of Alexander
Won Wuthenau, secretary OF the Ger
man embassy, and stole an undeter-
mined quantity of legation whisky.
The secretary'S home, at 1912 Warren
street. was vacant at the time.
Police learned of the robbery through
an anonymous telephone call to the
fourteenth precinct station house at
1890 o'clock this morning.
Second Similar Robbery.
The robbery last night was the sec
ond of it's kind during the last few
weeks. The first occurred at the Ell
Salvador legation, 260l Connecticut
avenue, where DR.. Don Carlos Leiva.
then counselor of the legation, was
badly beaten by thieves whom he had
surprised in the act of removing wine
from the legation vaults.
The home of the German embassy
secretary was entered after the thieves
had smashed a pane of glass i'll the
basement door with small stone
wrapped in a newspaper GATED July IL.
Once in the basement, they were COM

open, but the contents were only par
TALLY removed.
Owner Bound for Germany.
Herr Won Wuthenau is said to be en-
route to Germany, and police were I'M
able to obtain an accurate estimate as
to the amount of liquor stolen. They
were told, however, by Herr Putlitz
second secretary of the embassy, that
apparently not more than a half dozen
bottles had been removed.
Sergt w. P. Barnes said he had
been told that Herr Won Wuthenau
shared his home with a friend who
row is at a Virginia vacation resort.
This friend. whose name could not be
learned, is expected to return this aft
ernoon.
Rest of House Unmolested.
Police we're unable to find any evil
dence that the upper portion OF the
house had been entered. A small cab
met in a front room on the first floor,
which contained dozen bottles of vari-
Gus kinds of liquors, had not been dis
turbed.
Neighbors said they had seen no one
about the premises during the past few
days. Police said the man who notified
them OF the robbery hung up before
they could ascertain his nams.
Stone Is Only Clue.
Police of the fourteenth precinct
were looking for several domestic en-
ployes of Herr Won Whitman, hoping
they might be able to throw some light
on the robbery. Their only clue at this
time. however, is the stone wrapped
in the newspaper, which was found in
the basement.
At the time of the robbery of the
FL Salvador Legation, an investigation
Of the protection given diplomats here
was made at the request of the State
Department. Although no detailed re-
port of the investigation was made
public, it was announced at the State
Department that ample protection
was being given representatives OF the
various foreign governments here.

for Indians and Eskimos have been limited in number and inadequate in scope
 It is possible that it has succeeded in the States in bringing the Indian to stage in which the of citizenship be bestowed upon him. In Alaska no will argue very seriously that such a point has been reached or that it is possible of attain ment in the future And until this has been done, any movement to foist this work upon the Territory is unfair, unjust and extremely unwise It would put financial burden upon Alaska that it could not possibly sustain It would bankrupt our treasury if it were undertaken, and of course no Alaska Legislature is going to make the effort, come what may.
 Thus, the Federal Governments attention ought to be drawn to the grave risks it ncurs for its wards in trying to carry out such a policy here. MT. Foster has done it rather vigorously in his memorial to the Interior Department. Some of the claims such the footing of fishing rights and hunting grounds by the whites, might well have been omitted since their accuracy is at least debatable. But the whole, it focuses the attention of the people of Alaska to a situation which contains serious menace to them, and gives notice plainly to the Federal Government that Alaska will not be held responsible for any failure on the part of the nation to do it's duty in the premises

Champions Gone Stale.
(NeW York Herald Tribune. )

Politicians are mediocre outstanding largely because of their ability to measure public opinion Of course, they must have other qualities such as personality and consistency in their loyalty to their friends who their followers but the one asset that counts most is the art of taking the pubc's pulse and shaping ones course accordingly. Moth ing is done conspicuously; nonchalance is the trick in trade
 Unless we miss guess some of our soundest judges of public opinion out of training, cham pions for so long time that they have grown careless indifferent John L. Sullivans at the very heyday of their success. There be nothing more pathetic than a champion who has gone stale, who has become the victim of his own hypnotic power who founders around at a time when he should be on his toes, sensitive to each and every change in the body polite.
 In such a crisis idols fall quickly. Personal magnetism carries far. but if it is not based on strength of character it goes just so far In the next few weeks months public opinion must make profound decisions No one interested in good government could ask for more.

---------- - - ALASKA IS NO EXCEPTION.

3ecause Alaska has antiquated blue laws on it's statute books it is not unique in that respect Near ly every State in the Union has duplicates and foreign countries have not escaped Only recently inc British Government gave assurances it would give earnest consideration to the Sunday laws pr05 em, which brought to public notice by farccial arrest and, if you please, punishment of a reputable citizen under a statue passed some 300 years ago and unrepealed. law that was in force, probably with great deal effect then than now more than a century before this Republic was founded.
 In England many anomalies and much confusion in this respect continue to exist But to the enact ment of reasonable to end this anomalous confusion and obsolete menace. there is a strong opposition the part of the National Free Church Council which has appealed to the Government to reject any bill to amend the Sunday observance laws, opposing even the granting of local option in the matter of modernizing ancient laws. Other church organizations amenabe to reason recognizing that we living in new age and that many of the old laws impracticabe and unenforceable
 In the United States to lesser degree per haps a similar situation exists We have many such laws-some of them very old There is no general authority as to what entertainment, if any, shall take place Sunday. But for the most part the matter is left to the sentiment and Judgment of communities.
 There laws prohibiting the playing of base 9sl and other games the Sabbath, the opera Acn of theatres and the like. But where people deslFe hem, they usually have them It is matter of c0nscience and education, and largely also, of custom Reformers and those interested in forbidden Sunday entertainment never will agree. The public must determine to the desirability, value and importance of these laws; and that determination 1ill be presented in many and various aspects ss there are and women of different minds and habits.
 The Legislature could with all propriety exclude theatres and movies from blue law and let the conscience of each community be its guide in whether they shall be allowed to operate on the Sabbath. The prohibition probably had its origin in the dim and almost forgotten days when theatres were commonly a part of the dancehall business and movies adjunct to the saloon trade. If they were permitted to operate on Sundays the dance halls and saloons, perforce, open, also. Hence the law to curb the enterprises which in these days are legitimate in themselves and have re- ceiyed a universal recognition in the north as anluselnents permissible even on Sundays
