Redington, Chief of the Bio- logical Survey, that it was not possible to change the Alaska sea- son from September to October, as had been asked by the First City organization. Delegate Is Turned Down Delegate Wickersham, as request- ed by the Chamber in a telegram sent him Thursday, presented its request for the exclusion of Alas- ka from the Presidential procla- mation to the Biological Survey in ‘Washington. He was flatly turn- ed down. His response to the Chamber is as follows: “August 25, the Secretary of Ag- riculture issued emergency regula- tions approved by the President re- ducing the season throughout the United States and Alaska to one month on ducks and geese because of severe drouth last two years af- fecting rearing young birds on breeding grounds. - “The Biological Survey says var- ious sections of the country have already wired protests but that no change will be made in the regu- lations which Canada is also ex- pected to adopt. President Stands Pat “The President stands pat and insists that the people all over the country should co-operate to avoid the calamity of extermination.” The Delegate also advised the Chamber he was sending to all Alaska newspapers copies of the Presidential proclamation and the text of the emergency regulations. Qn the basis of this telegram, Chamber officials today were in- clined to entertain little hope for any modification. However, it was pointed out that the appeals sent to Senators Peter Norbeck and Frederick Walcott and Mr. Red- dington had not been heard from, and it was thought there was a possibility they might recognize the reasonableness of the requests from Alaska and induce the President to make the desired modification.

When it meets again the commit- tee will have to decide upon what to do with witnesses who refused to testify, Chairman Nye said. He said that evidence that has been placed in the record demanded ex- planation under oath by Bishop Cannon and his two associates, Miss Ada Burroughs and J. Sidney Peters, who refused to talk. Among the evidence that went into the record in the last three days were assertions that a ch- for $5,000, charged to the account of Claudius Huston, who later be- came National Republican Com- mittee Chairman, was used in fi- nancing the anti-Smith movement in North Carolina. The committee subpoenaed all records in connec- tion with this account. ——,— COUNCIL HOLDS ROUTINE SESSION LAST EVENING Wwith a full membership in at- tendance. the City Council last night held a meeting in its cham- bers at City Hall, with only routine business coming before it.
