INDIANA GOVERNOR REFUSES TO
CALL 00! STATE MILITIAMEN
Indianapolis, Nov. •>—The street
car system of this cl'-y is tied up
today, as a result of the operatives
all going out on strike upon the re
fusal of the traction company to
grant their demands of shorter
hours with increased pay.
Riots of more or less magnitude
have occurred at frequent intervals,
and the police are unable to cope
with the rioting men.
Four hundred deputy sheriffs,
sworn In from among tlie ranks of
business men, are guarding the pro
perty of the railway company, but
these are unaole to prevent a con
siderable loss of the company's
property. I
The mayor appealed to the Gov
ernor for a detachment of state mil
itia to protect property and pre
serve order, but t'ue request was re
fused.
No cars have been in operation
for more than eighteen hours.
POPE BELIEVE1> OPPOSED
TO WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
Rome, Nov. 3—Pope Pius U;is
just been asked by a large number
of leading prelates of the Catholic
church for a definite expression ol
the church's attitude on the ques
tion of woman suffrage. High Vat
ican officials who today discussed
the subject with His Holiness sta.
ed that the ruliug of Pope Pius
would unquestionably be against the
suffragettes. I: is expected that h s
decision in the matter «ill take t ie
form of an encyclical letter to pre
lates in all parts of the world.
Until very lecently it was gener
ally supposed that Pope Pius had
long ago officially placed the church
in opposition to woman's suffrage.
It now developes, however, that as
a matter of fact he has expressed
himself on the subject only once
and this in a perfectly informal and
unofficial way.

Nogales, Nov. 3—General Carran
za, in command of the rebel forces
in Mexico sent a letter to Washing
ton addresseed to President Wilson,
asking him to recognize the rebels
aud also to grant them the _right
to import arms and ammunition
from the United States.
Washington, Nov. 3—From what
can be learned today regarding the
proposed attitude to be adopted by
the United States towards Mexi
co, it would appear that President
Wilson has abandoned the idea of
recognizing the rebel forces as a
means of overthrowing the Huerta
government. I
United States government offic
ials today stati-d that they believed
that intervention by the American
government is inevitbale, and that
the time is not far off when Uncle
Sam will be compelled to step across
the border with a sufficient fight
ing army to suppress both sides of
the war which has been waged for
the past two years.
SEATTLE PAVER URGES
I'MOX FOR ALASKA
The senators and representatives
in Congress from the state of Wash
ington should get together on the A1
aska railroad bill.
There is no reason for a division
of opinion and sentiment among
representatives in Congress from
this state on this important ques
tion. I
Transportation is Alaska's great
est lifcod. Seu.tors and represent
atives from this state can help se
cure transportation for Alaska if
they will stand together i'or Alaska
and make the ight they ought to
make fi ere should be 110 pulling
away ou account of minor difference
j of opinion as to the details of pro
posed legislation, on account of nar
row politics, or ou any other ac
count.
What Alaska most needs and
must have is a system of transpor
tation, for without such a system
it is idle to talk about opening Al
aska.
There are three propositions be
fore Congress.
The Senate bill proposes a $40,
000,000 bond issue for the construc
tion of a railroad under the immedi
ate direction of the President of
the United Stu'es. The House bill
proposes a bond issue of $35,000,00
for the same purpose, but in other
rospects its provisions aro not es
sentially diftereut from those of
the Senate bill. The Poindexter
bill provides for government steam
ship lines, government coal mines
and a leasing system. The Poin
dexter bill is too elaborate. In
principle it i3 all right. B ut its
very elaborateness will endanger
the Alaska ra.lroad project.
What we ewant now is a defoinite
governmental railroad plan in Alas
ka. I
Either the Senate or the House
bill will give us this plan, and if
either of the3n bills should be pass
ed, within less than two years we
will have a railroad running from
tidewater into the interior and con
necting with the watercourses of Al
aska.
Both Senate and House bills lodge
largo discretion with the Presi
dent; he is to select the route of
the road and the only limitation put
upon him is that the road must run
from tidewater in Southeastern or
Southern Alaska to points which wil
connect it with interior watercours
es .
] The Washington delegation in
Congress can secure the passage of
i the Senate or the House bill. For
. Uie time they should drop the Poin
dexter bill or any other bill which
may tend to confuse and defeat a
simple, straight measure that will
! authorize the federal government to
issue bonds and proceed with the
construction of a railroad In Alaska.
The Washington delegation should
i get together and remain together
! until this railrod bill is passed. If
they fail to do so, they will do Al
aska and Alaskans a grave injus
tice.—Seattle Sun.
PA 15IS EXPECTS TROUBLE
l.V MI STERING RECRUITS
Paris, Nov. 3—The government
today admitted that it is preparing
for extra police guards in Paris and
other large cities of the republic in
anticipation of expected trouble
when the revolutionists and Social
ists hold the promised anti-militar
ist demonstration on November 9, as
a protest against the three year ar
my law. The new "class" of young
Frenchmen will be called to the
colors or. November 9. The size of
this "class" will be doubled this
year as it has been decided to take
as recruits youths of 20 years as
well as those of 21. This was ne
cessitated by mustering out as the
two "classes" now serving their two
year terms and by the new three
year law passed by the Chamber
this summer which calls for three
"classes" under the flag.

RECENTLY LOCATED PLACER
PROPERTY PROSPECTS WELL
Wolf creek, ten miles south of
Whltehoree, ou which in the neigh
borhood of one hundred placer
claims were recently staked, is
prospecting In a manner which is
very encouraging to the various
stakera, says the Whltehoree Star.
On claim No. 6 below discovery
a 1 number of the early stakers al
ready have a hole down to a depth
of eighteen feet. From the surface
colors were obtained ij» ev«ry pan
washed, but as depth is attained,
the colore are much more numerous
and coarser. It is believed that,
when bedrock is reached, the creek
will be shown to be a paying propo
sition. I
On the two dry gulches which
cross Wolf creek prospects have al
so been found.
Those who are working on Wolf
creek, in addition to Discoverer
George Stevens, are Adam Birney,
Fred McLasho^ and William Hair,
known as "The 'Tally-Ho Boys."
Howard Cochrane and Theo. Becker,
the two latter, as well as the othera

of assistance In the work they!are
now conducting on Wolf creek.
