MAY DEPOPULATE ALASKA
Judge Says Disease Sweeps Land
and Urges Sanitary Law.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. 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. An explanation of the
situation in Italian Somaliland was made
In the Chamber of Deputies today by ex
Premier Tlttonl. He said that King
Menelik disclaimed responsibility for the
raid on Lugh and promised to punish the
g-ullty. An agreement had been made
with Menelik giving Italy possession of
Lugh In exchange for money compensa
tion. Wireless telegraphy will be estab
lished in the colony, reinforcements to be
sent there, and the rebels subdued under
agreement with Menelik before they can
join forces with the mad Mullah. It is
reported that King Menelik asks JfiOO.000
to renounce his pretensions over the Lugh
territory.
BATTLE DN A STREETCAR
HERMAN WITTENBERG IN
FIGHT WITH CONDUCTOR.
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."

against him and J. Chevalier by G.
Groce and C. Cucagna, of the Plemont
Winery. Bruno admits that he con
ducts a saloon and that he bought
liquor of the Winery between February

not paid. He says, however, that 100
gallons of claret wine and one barrel
of Riesling wine were sour. This he
says was charged up at $5S, and he
will not pay for it. He offers to settle
the matter and to pay the winery
$192.71 for that portion of the liquor
which was retailed.

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.
