fur the government of the fire de
partment. which committee is to re
poit at l!:e next meeting to lie held
i: is coming Friday night. The mat
ter of building a new school for
II,dues came up for discussion, and
■t was unanimously voted to ask the
legislature to make an appropria
tion for that purpose.
Mrs. H. 0. ISanta, is expected
home on the Estebeth today from
Juneau. Mrs. Danta went down to
Juneau for the purpose of an opera
lion. and medical treatment, but it
was thought not advisable to liave
tlie operation, and so she is return
ing home for the present.
Rev. Claud Denton spent last Sun
day in Klukwan, where he held serv
ices for the natives; there being no
resident minister at that place this
year.
Mr. Ceorge Alexander has been
laid up for the last week or two
with a lame back, something like
the lumbago, but is now improving,
and his many friends hope that he
will soon be all right again.
Paris, April 27.—France is dis
satisfied with the new German pro
posals ol' indemnity. This was the
official announcement made today by
ilie French Ambassador Monsieur
i Jusserand, at Washington. He had
J notification to this effect from the
<Kronch government.
HE LIGHT THROWN H NATURE
OF IMMf WILSON'S ILLNESS
Washington, D. C.. April 27.—Be
cause of the secrecy which has been
thrown around th# physical condition
or Woodrow Wilson, the country is
probably most interested in that just
now. Mr. Wilson is convalescent—
so far as nature permits—from what
medically is called thrombosis—a
blood clot in one of the arteries on
the right side of liis brain which im
pairs the motor nerves iu the left
arm and leg. He can walk short
distances alone with the aid of cane;
longer distances require the use of a
wheelchair. Walking up and down
stairs is a precarious experiment sel
dom attempted.
Mr. Wilson was not stricken on the
league of Nations speaking trip in
the West as is popularly supposed,
but within a week after he returned
to the While House. Warning sig
nals of the coming attack were what
caused his return. For three days
after he came back he seemed to be
improving: in fact he took a motor
ride the day before he was laid low,
and on the night before played bil
liards. The seizure came iu the
night, at an hour when the President
was alone, and he was found strick
en just before daylight.
For a week his life was dispaired
of, but his real condition was kept
secret by his family. Then came a
turn for the better and for many
weeks the President was confined to
his bed—a bed in which Abraham
Lincoln before him probably had
nassi>d 111 aiiv a night of pain and
sleeplessness of a different nature.
Even the Wliim House barber was
not admitted to tile room, and Mr.
Wilson, usually clean shaven, grew
a heard and made humorous remarks
!o his physicians and family as he
brushed it for amusement several
times a day.
In the midst of the illness an un
looked for muscular complication set
in and refused to yield to treatment.
While physician and surgeons anx
iously consulted downstairs as to
whether the ('resident's physique
could withstand the shock of a sur
gical operation and liud about decid
ed that it was a life or death chance,
a nurse arrived with the news that
nature had intervened and that the
operation would lie unnecessary.
From that moment slow recovery sot
in.
Motor nerves which had refused to

Fishing Appliances anil Fur Rates
Fixed — Measures Are
Virtually Complete
Tax schedules on furs and fishing
appliances other than traps that wi.l
probably be recommended by the
Ways and Means Committer for pas
sage by the Legislature vera agreed
on last night at a meeting ft' llle
Senate and House Ways and Means
Committees. There was some dis
cussion relative to the schedule on
ores and gold bearing gravels but it
was practically agreed that the pro
posal to change present taxation
methods would be abandoned for
this session at least.
The subcommittee np^oictid by
Chairman Eisner 011 lisliin.T appli
ances reported that it had ti.lked
the matter over with a ituinbc.' tf
persons interested in the fishing in
dustry and recommended t.ia'. a rate
ol' S2 on gill nets for each 100
fathoms or fraction thereof, and
of $10 for seines for each lr>0 fath
oms and an additional $5 for each
25 additional fathoms. I'.evenue ac
cruing to the Territory based on
this schedule, it was stated, would
amount annually to tpp'oximniely
$35,000.
Fur Measure Pi,'i]it,H'il
Mr. Frawley, chairiran of the sub
committee appointed to advire a
schedule on furs and system of col
lection. reported that tha Attorney
Oeneral had drafted a nn;asur-3 to
cover the matter. The 1:11 contains

respond to needle pricks showed
signs or reaction. Pretty soon Mr.
Wilson was about In a wheel chair.
A few weeks later he was learning
to walk again with the support of
an attendent.- Mesaage, electricity
an attendent. Massage, electricity
were employed to coax his muscular
faculties back into action. Then he
got outdoors for motor rides and re
ceived some visitors. Ke took up a
routine of a few hours' work each
day dictating to stenographers, and
increased the time as strength gath
ered.
One evening he surprised Washing
ton by going to the theatre and walk- j
ing only with the aid of a cane,
which he humorously called "my
third leg." He probably never will ;
play golf again and may never deliv
er another public speech,although he
will write what he has to say in what
extended measure no one knows. His
friends say it may be a large one.
Washington will now have a Presi- |
dent and one of the two living ex-1
Presidents on its hands, an official-j
doni is very much interested to see
how it will work out.
Woodrow Wilson left the White i
House to resume the role, of a pri- i
vate citizen and again take up the !
practice of law. With Bainbridge |
Colby, retiring secretary of state, he
lias formed a partnership and the
now firm will maintain olices in
Xew York and Washington. Mr. Wil-J
son's annouti'ijtn'i.r that he wo :id t
lake up the In x a^ai'i came as .1 #.tr- I
priso to nil Washington, which had '
been led In believe that for a fjw I
months at least ne would f.o into a !
life of rest and recreation and tarn |
probably pursue his work for world j
peace. It was tho'if.'it too. that the I
oulKoiiiK President would take up |
the business of liter:itur3 wnere he i
left off when he quit the presiden
cy of Princeton Universiv/ to enter j
politics an dbecome Governor of New
Jersey.
Frail in health, it had been sup
posed by Mr. Wilson'? closest friends |
that he planned nothin; else than
rest. But Rear Admiral Grayson
his physician, says he is able to take J
up legal work and could even pnssij
My appear occasionally before the I
Supreme Court of the United States, j
to which he soon will make applica- J
tion for admission to practice.

Traders* Lircnse
The proposed measure provides a I
complete method of collection |
through a system of licenses ami I
records to be kept by traders and I
trappers who are both required to
make reports to the Territorial
Treasurer. Yearly licenses are re
quired from fur farmers, resident or
stationary fur buyers and itinerant
fur buyers. The first two are re
quired to pay $25 in license fee3
and the last' a yearly tax of $100.
Trappers selling their furs to other
than licensed buyers are required
under the proposed bill to pay. the
specified tax on their catch, but in
case of sale to licensed traders the
latter pay the taxes. Complete
reports of all animals caught and
sold are require i from trappers,
while traders are required to report
all furs purchased. Penalties are
provided for noneju pliann: with the
provisions of tho act. The bill will i
be reported fovjr.:h!y by the com
mittee.
Question as to Validity
Tho question as tr- the right of
the Legislature was raised by mem
bers of the committee. The At
torney General stated that, while
there might be come doubt as to
the authority of the Legislature, he
was s-ure if it was enacted and Con- [
gross asked to approve it, the ap
proval would bo fortkeoieinA, as It
was a reason ib'e measure.
