A report of a startling nature in regard to the interior conditions In Alaska was received by the Senate today from United States Judge Gunnison at Juneau. He said that the Impossibility of making natives under stand contagion constituted & menace to the entire population of Alaska, including the whites. He strongly urged the pas sage of legislation empowering territo rial authorities to enforce sanitary regu lations. Judge Gunnison said that under his in structions the grand Jury had made an investigation, which showed that natives suffering from contagious diseases are permitted to travel at will, occupying the same railroad coaches with whtte citizens and lodging at the same hotels. The re port showed that tuberculosis as well as other contagious diseases are common among the natives and that they disre gard all rules of sanitation. Italy and Menelik Agree. ROME. Feb. IS.

Chairman of School Board Conies Out First Best Dispute Over Transfer Starts It. Herman Wittenberg, chairman of the Board of Education, engaged In an en counter with streetcar conductor No. 750, more specifically known as I. H. Pome roy, early yesterday afternoon. The trou ble arose over a transfer, hostilities opening when the car was on the east approach of the Steel bridge and con tinuing till it reached Third and Burn side streets, the motorman sticking to his post and taking no interest in the affair. Three windows were broken by impact of the conductor's head, backed by Mr. Wittenberg's grip. The conductor emerged from the fray bleeding in several places from wounds inflicted by broken glass. Aside from soiled linen and muddy over coat, Mr. Wittenberg suffered no incon venience. The mud . was recruited through lying on the floor of the car, surmounted by the carman. Mr. Wit tenberg was not thrown down, however, as he says he lost his footing -on the slippery floor. - ' Sentiment among the numerous pas sengers, mostly women, was quite evenly divided. Accounts agree, however, as to the cause and course of the, difficulty. Mr. Wittenberg and his son were riding over town on an Irvington car. After paying their fare a change of conductors occurred on the car. Wittenberg asked the new man for a transfer. It was re fused him. He asked for the conductor's number at that point and It was given him. The first conductor then came In and gave the transfer aa asked for, for which he was thanked. Pomeroy In passing through the car asked rather flippantly of Mr. Witten berg If he still had the number. The reply was less polite than teree. Pomeroy then remarked that if he were not in charge of the car he'd "smash your face for you.". This was the phrase that started It, W'ittenberg Jumped up and collared the conductor and rushed him towards the front of the car. telling him that -he dUdn't Intend to be threatened by a measly streetcar conductor. "You've got to act the part of a gentleman," he said. "I have half a mind to take you and turn you over to the police. Pomeroy demanded that he be released and when this was not complied with he turned on Wittenberg, who whirled him about and Jammed his head thrdMgh a window. The two men then swayed across the, car and Pomeroy's head went through a second window and a moment later it was poked through a third. At this point the other . conductor stepped in to separate the men, where upon both fell" to the floor, Pomeroy uppermost. "If you'll be good now, we'll qult," Mr. Wittenberg said and Pomeroy agreeing to this plan the melee ended. In discussing the incident later Mr. Wittenberg said he was very sorry that there had been any trouble but that he could not permit a streetcar conductor to threaten to "smash his face." "I halve traveled on thart line for the past 25 years," he said, "and have never before had any serious difficulty. I didn't try to hurt the fellow but I'm sorry now I didn't simply throw him out of the window. While, as I have said, I am very sorry for the affair, yet I would do the same thing again under such circumstances." BUILDING FUND REPORT Treasurer Paget Issues Statement of Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A.

HAT GOME' TO POOTL NATIONAIi SECURITIES COM PAJfY CONSIDERS REMOVAL. Ios Angeles Financial Concern Looks This Way, Says Charles E. Sumner. That the National Securities Com pany, a corporation with an author ized capitalization of $1,000,00 and a paid-up capital of $750,000, may change its headquarters from Los Angeles to Portland is a lively possibility. This company has financed the independent telephone companies of Portland, Ta coma and Spokane, and negotiations are now going forward for the trans fer of this company's headquarters to Portland. The definite announcement of the change cannot yet be made, but it is likely that will be effected within the next few weeks. Portland Is regarded as a more central location for tho bead offices of the company, since the independent telephone companies have put plants in operation throughout the Pacific Northwest. Charles E. Sumner, president of the Home Telephone Companies of Port land. Tacoma and Spokane, whose home Is In Toledo, O., Is in Portland for a few days, and he confirms the report that the change of headquar ters of the National Securities Com pany, which has financed all of these companies, is being considered. He said last night that the matter has not yet been decided, but that a deci sion will be reached by the last of the present month. Mr. Sumner comes here from Los Angeles. He will visit Ta coma and Spokane and will return here In about ten days. "We are getting things in shape so that the Portland plant will be turned over to the operating company," said he last night, "and we expect this to be done within a short time. There are many details to arrange before this can be done. The Tacoma and Belllng ham plants were turned over lately and everything is progressing satis factorily toward that end here. "We have received splendid treat ment from the people of Portland ever since we first asked for a franchise In this city and the only request we might make at this tim Is for the people of the city to have patience, for it takes time to connect up all the telephones that the people want here. This work Is going ahead Just as fast as possible, and within a short time we will be ready to take over the local plant and operate it." Mr. Sumner has been considering the proposition of moving from Toledo to Portland and making his home here. It is probable that he will come here this Summer to reside permanently.
