TRACES CONNECTION
OF CZAR AND HERMIT
GEORGETOWN Professor Tells of Re.
laticnship Between Alexander
and Kouzenitch.

The mystical connection between
Alexander the first of Russia and the
hermit, Feodor Kouzenitch, was de-
scribed last night by Prof. Leonid I.
6trakhovsky, professor of modern Euro
pean history at the school of foreign
service OF the Georgetown University
In a lecture at the Washington College
OF Music.
Prof. Strakhovsky analyzed the mo-
tives Of this curious character who,
pursued by a guilty conscience at hav-
ing been participator at the death
Of his father, the Emperor Paul, re-
nounced the throne and became Off
cially dead. Soon after his disappear
ance there appeared holy man named
Feodor Kouzenitch who lived very
humbly in Taganrod. He seemed to
possess an embracing knowledge of
what happened at the court and he
was often visited by an eminent Eng
Ish aristoo-at, the Earl of Cathcart.
Among the proofs that these two
men were the same was the opening
OF the royal caskets years later by the
opened the one which had contained
the body of the Gear Alexander, that
1T was empty. Prof StrakhOvsky also
told OF pocket book which the hermit
always wore around his neck, which
he said, contained the secret of his
identity. After his death it was hid
den for many years by his friends,
but finally the code in which it was
written was deciphered and it proved
to be a letter written by the Emperor
Paul to one of his mistresses, telling
that he had discovered the plot to
murder him.

"do no good" to send Smeeman to

automobile theft in ST. Louis in 1915

Gov. Park said. II think it would be
mistake to put you in prison. 1t
would do no good.
1t seems to me there are two points
IN this case. A crooked man could
never have lived during the last 10
years and established himself as you
have, and no opportunity was given
you as a young fellow. but you were
left to shift for yourself"
Smeeman was in tears. His wife who
sat near him during the hearing, patted
him. reaSsauringly.
Brother Tells Of Lives.
Bronson, business partner of Smee-
man, told the Governor a detailed his

Forestry Camps Give
 Employment to 200

More than 200 men are now employed in various forest ser vie activities in Alaska under the emergency employment program of the federal govern. ment, according to reports from Ketchikan this week.
 Eighteen camps have been established between Ketchikan and the Kenai Peninsula and are employing crews ran ging from four to fifteen men. Sev. en additional camps have also been authorized, including one at Hyder, which is expected to be in operation shortly, and two or three more may be es tablished later on. Fourteen of the present camps are in southeastern Alaska, one is near Cordova, and three are Oil Kenai Peninsula.
 Just when the Hyder camp will be placed in operation could not be ascertained but it is learned that supplies ana equipment are being assembled at Ketchikan and should be in readiness within a few days at the outside
 It is also understood that the forestry officials have aban- doned their original plan to have the local physical examin- ations made by Dr. Ellis of Ketchikan and have authorized Dr. J. w. Vosburgh, local phy- sician, to do the work.

Delegate Dimond Speeding
 Public Works Program

Since the adjournment of Congress, Delegate Dimond has been working at top speed to draw up a program of pub- lie works for Alaska. The pro- gram was presented several days ago to Col. D. H. Sawyer, temporary administrator of public works under the Nation al Recovery Act, and to depart mental officials. It calls for the immediate expenditure of several million dollars for roads, rivers and harbors pro- jec'ts, air fields and public buildings, according to a re- port to the Herald from E. L. Bartlett, the delegates secre, tary.
 With organization of the pub- lie works administration not yet fully completed, MT. Bart, lett says it is impossible to tell just what allotment will fin ally be made for Alaska, but MT. Dimond is keeping in close touch with the situation and at every opportunity is urging Alaska's claims. It is expect ed that announcement of the first projects to be undertaken will be made within the next couple of weeks.

New Postage Rate Does
 Not Apply Locally

Recent Outside press reports announcing a reduction of one cent an ounce in local letter postage rates have apparently mislead some citizens into be- lieving that the announced re- duction meant a general re- turn to the old 2-cent rate With,
 n the United States.
 This is not the case, accord ing to Mrs. Oren F. Hill, acting posmaster. The reduction is effective only in the case of letters mailed in areas where mail is delivered by carriers and does not apply in art as where there is no delivery serv- ice by carriers. The three-cent per ounce rate continues on first class matter mailed fl other than local delivery. The local or drop-letter rate here is one cent per ounce or fraction.

w. J. Elmendorf Passes On

Old timers of the district will learn with regret that William J. ("Billy') Elmen- dorf, widely known mining en- gineer, who was associated with many important Alaskan mining enterprises during the past twenty-five years, passed away at his home in Seattle on June 26.
 MT. Elmendorf was for four years subsequent to 1910 man. ager of the old Portland Canal Mining Company, the exten- sive properties of which are To- cated on Glacier creek, a short distance north of Stewart, and was a familiar figure to most of the early day residents of the camp. He is survived by a widow and three children, in addition to other relatives.

Special Prohibition
 Force Abolished

Deputy U. s. Marshal War ren s. Harding was formally notified this week by United States Marshal Albert White that the Federal prohibition en- forcement unit in Alaska has been relieved of prohibition en- forcement and the work of the unit has been taken over by the MarshaPs office.
 This brings to an end, inso- far as Alaska is concerned, the 13-year old system of having a special organization of offic- cers and agents to enforce .le national prohibition act an organization which has been justly condemned as inherently vicious and unAmerican, em- bracing in it's ranks spies and stool pigeons and even acknow- ledged criminals, and employ ing practices which in many instances were in themselves little short of criminal and in opposit tion to constitutional law.
 Much to the qualification of right-thinking citizens, prohib- ition enforcement will be here after where it belongs; in the hands of the regular law en- forcement agencies.

Alaska Has Most Unique
 Trade Money In U. s.

Many forms of barter or trade money have appeared in the United States during the de- preston period. These have ranged from printed slips to srips of wood bearing various devices to indicate their use and value. In some instances efforts were made to adopt curios forms, mainly with a view to securing community ad- vertising, as for instance the wooden money adopted in certain Washington town. A proposal was also made al Prince Rupert to employ fish skin for local scrip, as indica- tive of the great fish business of that port.
 But it has remained for an Alaskan community to inaugu- rate the most curious form of barter money that has ye5 ap- peared; namely, dried fish tails.
 The basis of this novel form of barter money is found in a fund provided by the Territory of Alaska and Bristol Bay sal. mon packers for the destruct- ion of trout which destroy great quantities of red salmon fry and eggs in the spawning streams of Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula. The trout, of the Dolly Warden species. are taken in large quantities by the native villagers of that reg ion. The flesh is cured fol food for humans and for dog feed and the tails are dried and widely used as money by the natives. Owing to the bounty, they have real mon ey value and are accepted as legal tender by the merchants and traders of the district.
 The system has been in oper- ation for some years, with the field forces of the bureau of fisheries cooperating in the payment of the vouchers pre- Sented. As a measure of relief to the unemployed natives the packers this year contributed S15,000 to the $7,500 appro- priation made for the purpose by the Alaska Legislature.
