UNCLE SAM EEJECTS STEAUISHIP'S CLAIMS : tCnlted Prese Leaaed Wlre.l Seattle,. Wash., Deo. 21. The Alaska Steamship . company has been notified by the department of commerce and labor at Washington that the government will not pay for the passage and other ex penses incurred in transporting the 193 victims of , the wreck of the shin Colum bia, which -occurred at Scotts Cape light, near unaiaska, on " April 80 last from Unaiaska to Seattle. The department holds that the law covering expenditures to relieve ticrsons ln distress from shipwreck applies only to seamen, and while the department is willing to pay for the men actually signed oh the ship's articles ss. members of 'the crew. It refuses to allow a cent for any of the other sufferers. The total claim is for 312,420. - The Columbia was a cannery shin bearing fishermen and cannery hands ror the salmon fisheries and when the survivors reached Unaiaska the addition of the nearly 200 people was a severe strain on . the1 resources . of the little place. : ' f .r. -.. .j. :y There was no place to house arid, feed the men and at the request of the dep uty collector of customer the "steamship" have had the affair adjusted , In some other "'Way, '-,f'-:: - y..ecv;- A-- ? -t Some of the administration officials fear an investigation will furnish cam paign material to the Democrats and Insurgents.

Senator Jones, after reading the let ter In thV senate today, declared Bal linger did not want a whitewash. ' He said If the charges were true Ballinger was not fit to hold office.
