JUNEAU, ALASKA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1931, MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN COAST GUARD CUTTERS SEARCH FOR MISSING AIRMEN CHAMBER AGAIN MOVES TO HAVE ORDER CHANGED Resumes Flght to Get Re- lief from President’s Bird Season Edict After two-weeks of silence on the part of Washington authori- ties on its appeal for modification of President Hoover's curtailment of the migratory bird-hunting sea- son in Alaska, the Chamber of Commerce today re-opened that subject. It directed Acting Secre- tary M. S. Whittier to telegraph Paul G. Redington again, reiterat- ing its request and asking for a response. The Chamber two weeks ago wir- ed Mr. .Redington, Chief of the United States Biological Survey, and Senators Peter Norbeck and Fred- erick Waleott, members of the Special Senate Committee on Wild Life Resources. Up to date it has heard nothing from any of them. Gardner Urges Move C. T. Gardner, former President of the Alaska Game Commission, who is at Yakutat for the summer, in a letter to the Chamber urged it to take “such further action as may be possible to have the order rescinded, or at least modified, to more justly care for local condi- tions throughout Alaska.” Saying he had observed with interest “articles in The Empire with reference to the Chamber of Commerce protesting the action by the Presidents,” he added: “From all information I- have been able to gather, both from personal observation and by talk- ing to a number of ‘local people, have reached the conclusion, that there is equal fo or more than the wugual number of migratory waper-towi the lakes udd sicughs| » and rivers are reported covered with young birds. No Movement East “I doubt if any can prove that any considerable number of the Pacific Coast migratory water fowl pass to the Central States in their movement to and from Alaska nesting grounds. It would appear that further effort should be made to have this order at least modl- fied to better suit local conditions, or withdrawn entirely insofar as the coastal waters of Alaska are Up to September 5, the 1931 sal- mon pack of Alaska aggregated 5,178,202 cases, “bathroom count,” as reported to local headquarters Pisheries.

The suggestion was adopted, and the meeting will be set at a later date, President W. W. Coun- cil announced. Dr. Couneil announced the ap- pointment of Judge H. B. LeFevre and Henry Roden as a special Bridge Committee to co-operate with a like committee from Doug- las. The joint committee will take up with the United States Forest Service and Bureau of Public Roads the Gastineau Channel bridge pro- Jject, urging construction without delay. It will meet with the Ex- ecutive Committee next Tuesday at which time Assistant Regional For- ester M. L. Merritt and M. D. Wil- liams, District Engineer, will be present. Urge 24-Hour Service At the suggestion of Charles Goldstein, the Chamber today di- rected the Legislative Committee to make an effort to obtain for Ju- neau a 24-hour cable service to Seattle. At present the service covers from 8 am. to midnight. Delays in traffic, due to heavy night filings from the Eastern part of the United States, interior Alaska and other points, handicap local business firms, it was point- ed out. This traffic condition, it was disclosed, causes a delay of three hours in the issuance of the daily weather map by the United States Weather Bureau here. H. W. Irvine, Chief of the local Signal Corps station, explained to the Chamber the method of traf- fic operations.

A vaudeville show by Rey Southard and Company,| featuring “sawing a woman in two” opened the program and occupied; the stage from 9 o'clock to 10, after which Hunter’s Orchestra of- fered dance music until midnight. The crowd began going early in the afternoon, eager to see the exhibits of farm products, which: included vegetables, grain, berries and fruit, blue and silver foxes, marten, mink and poultry. A spec- ial department devoted to mineral specimens from various mining properties of Southeast Alaska were on exhibit near the stage, attract- ing much attention. Departments of Fair The ladies’ auxiliary department, Mrs. Dave Housel, Chairman, had charge of the art, needlework, and home cooking sections. The super- intendents were Mrs. M. D. Wil- liams, Division A, needlework, assisted by Mrs. I. P. Taylor and Mrs. Frank Metcalf; Division B., colored ' embroidery, Mrs. C. H. Flory, assisted by Mrs. J. Hellen- thal and Mrs. G.

She made a number of sug- ! gestions for future activities. The Chamber extended a vote of appreciation to Miss Hansen and commended her on her efficlent | management and untiring service. | Due to the location of the booth, which is on Front Street above the | entrance to the Admiral Line dock, only a small percentage of the tourists coming into port pass it and consequently do not register, Miss Hansen reported. However, until it is possible to have a booth at each dock with an attendant in charge, no better location can be had, she added. The chief service rendered was in locating friends and acquain- tances for visitors, making con- tacts for business visitors, directing visitors to local scenic and other attractions and extending whatever countesies were possible to all who called at the booth. Early in the summer, 8 number of laborers reg- istered, seeking employment, but few vacancies were listed with the bureau. 'The general reaction to the booth was very favorable, Miss Hansen sald. Many commented that such a service could be duplicated with profit in thelr home cities. This summer, with each pamphlet issued by the Chamber and distributed at .{the bureau, a flower of Alaska cot- ton was given, Miss Hansen re- ported. ‘These were much in de- mand. Flowers in the bureau office, pic- tures, maps and pamphlets were much in demand and the maps were used extensively. The desk set aside for addressing letters and postal cards proved to be of much service and was greatly apbreciated by the tourists. There were a great many rvequests for “Juneau” stickers for luggage, and these could be used to advantage. Miss Hansen suggested the de- sirability of installing a rest room in the bureau for the convenieace of those calling. She pointed out there are no rest room facilities in the downtown district. She said the Chamber was in- debted to Mrs. G. A. Getchell, Mrs. son and Mrs. Robert Simpson for summer. MANWANTEDIN EAST BELIEVED ARRESTED HERE Alleged Post Office Rob- ber Reported Arrest- ed at Petersburg A man going by the name of Dave Willlams and alleged to be| E. M. Stewart, wanted in the East for post office robbery, was ar- rested last night at Petersburg by Deputy United States Mamshal C. V. Brown, according to “telegraphic advices received by Marshal Albert White. He is being held for iden- tification by Postal authorities. Williams, as he calls himself, was arrested on the halibut schooner Emerson on which he was enroute from Seward to Seattle. He is said to have been working on the Alaska Railroad for several months. Authorities Tipped Off A fellow workman on the rail- road is reported to have recognized him from a Postal circular. Re- cently this man, whose name was not available here, passed through Juneau and notified Marshal White and Acting Postmaster, Mrs. Bessie Lavenik. They informed 8eattle Postal officers and their informant proceeded to Seattle to lay his own information before the in- spectors there. United States Customs officials were asked to keep a watch for Willlams, or Stewart, if he at- tempted to leave the Territory and through them he was located on the Emerson. A warning was is- sued to all Federal deputies in this Division to watch for the halibut. vessel and arrest the man. Deputy Brown located and arrested him last night. Has Many Aliases + Stewart, who is accused of rob- ‘bing two post offices in the-'Hast, has traveled under many aliases. At varfous times he has been known as L. 8. Davis, Earl M. Stewart, Luther Davis, L. D. Livingston, Luther Davis Lewis, Louis W. Lynch, Louis Lynch, George A. Hart, Louis 8. Davis, and Dave Williams is the latest. He is under indictment at New- ark, N. J, for robbery of the United States post office at Ash- bury Park, N. J, on July 6, 1930, and at Steubenville, Ohio, for a similar ‘ crime¢ committed on No- vember 11, 1928. A reward of $2,- 000 is offered for information lead- ing to his arrest and conviction. Williams is said to have issued some bad checks at Seward just before he left there, and a war- rant has been issued there on that charge. —— ATTEMPT MADE T0 ROB SCHOOL OF BOOK FUNDS Grade School Broken Into Last Night but Thieves Make Empty Haul The persomn, or persons, who forced an entrance into the Grade School building of the local Pub- lic Schools last night sought some- thing other than education, in the opinion of Superintendent R. 8. Raven and Chief of Police George A. Getchell. No text books or other founts of knowledge were disturbed ‘by the nocturnal visitors although they entered and left through the book supply room. Apparently the object sought was cash, but it was not attained. The money which " the bureau supplied with had ‘been received during the day for the sale of text books had been removed at the end of the school period. Whoever made the attempt had a working knowledge of the pro- cedure in the schools, it was point- ed out, For after having made the entry, they proceeded directly to the office of the principal, Miss M. E. Shaw, where the text book money is usually kept pending its transfer to the bank or the super- intendent of schools. But the cash drawer was empty and the robbers left empty handed. The entry was made on the sec- ond floor from the fire escape through a window into the text book room. The window was brok- en in order to gain admission. As the door leading into the corridor was locked, it was necessary to cut visitors from the mnlnm,w,mun.n,c. Jacob- jout the lock. A window was broken out of the door fice in order to there. of Miss Shaw's of- to effect an entrance LEGION ADOPTS 3-YEAR PROGRAM AT CONVENTION |Child Welfare Pro gram Resolution Among Many Approved by Legion A five-year program for better- ment of health and other con- ditions and for the protection of children in the Territory was one of the most important of 13 res- olutions adopted by the American Legion, Department of Alaska, at its annual convention held in Petersburg last month. This program was drafted by the Department Child Welfare com- mittee of the Legion and its Aux- iliary units in conjunction with the National Welfare Committee of the National Organization. A pam- phlet setting forth the program in full has been printed and dis- tributed to each of the posts and Auxiliary units in the Territory. Co-Operate With Others The Department’s plan calls for co-operation with other organi- zations interested in child wel-| fare in the Territory. The first! step set forth is an educationial movement designed to inform mem- bers of the Legion and Auxmary and all other citizens of the renl conditions pertaining to Alaskan children. This will entail an in- tensive study of the Territory for the purpose of obtalning the best available information from all sour- ces regarding child health and‘ other matters affecting their fare. In each post and Auxiliary or- ganization there will be created a committee to maintain contact with each other in carying on this work. All data gathered will be assembled for distribution to interested agen- cies, Services of welfare wirkers will_be -enlited in_gvery comunity. The Legionnaires 'Will oo-operate with the Boards of Children's Guardians throughout the Ter- ritory. The Legion will bend its efforts| toward obtaining a public health | service for all schools maintained by the Territory, and, also, by the Federal Government. It will con- tinue its efforts in the interest of community recreational facilities, Understanding Is Needed The program concludes with the statement: “It is recognized that these im- provements for children in the Ter- ritory can come only through en- lightened citizenship and whole- some community spirit, and an understanding and appreciation of the communlity responsibilty to children, and to this end the Ameri- can Legion Department Child Wel- fare Committee of Alaska and the National Child Welfare Committee of the American Legion pledge their service and support and enlists the co-operation and ald of all other organizations and individuals in- terested In the welfare of children.” ‘The program and plan of action will be submitted by Alaska dele- gates to the Detroit National Con- vention next month.

In the knowledge of the intrica- cies of political economy and so- clal sclence, Brentano was pre-emi- nent. Aggressive by nature albeit a theorist, he fought vigorously when Bismarck, the “Iron Chan- cellor,” pursued his policy of im- perialistic capitalism. He disupted with Manchester School, the Ger- man agrarians and the heavy in- dustrialists with zest equal to that with which he combatted Karl Marx and Ferdinand Lassalle, the fathers of Socialism. He fought consistently for social ideals which considered radical at their incep- tion, had become commonplace in his own lifetime, many of them being brought to fruition, however, by the irresistible force of cireum- stances rather than by the tri- umph of reason.

The resolution, drafted by the Chamber's Legislative Commit- tee, was presented by H. L. Faulk- ner, Chairman. He declared that it was evident that the present Territorial reve- nues were insufficient to meet the necessary expenses of government and that it should share the seal revenues. Text of Resolution The text of the Chamber's reso- lution follows: “Whereas, the revenues of the Territory of Alaska are practically all derived from license fees and taxes on fisheries and mines, and “Whereas, the said revenues have been very materially reduced dur- ing the past two years due to the decreased amounts received from fish trap licenses, and to the prac- tical elimination of all net profits from fishing operations, and to the great decrease in taxable profits from m:mng operations, which fall- ing off in taxes and license fees has reduced the revenues of the Territory so that there is insuffi- clent income to pay the operating expenses of the Territorial Govern- ment, including the maintenance of schools and relief of the indigent, and the Territory is faced with a deficit, and has no power to incur indebtedness, and “Whereas, the Territory is annu- ally expending more than two hun- dred thousand dollars for the care and education of Indlan and Eski- mo wards of the Government which places an excessive burden upon the people of the Territory, and “Whereas, the Tenth Alaska Leg- islature passed House Joint Me- morial No. 18, praying that a law be enacted under which the De- partment of Commerce shall an- nually pay to the Territory of Al- aska for the benefit of the com- mon school fund, a sum equal to 50 per cent of the annual revenue derived from the operation of the seal fisheries of Pribilof Islands in this Territory, and “Whereas, it is essential that some such relief and financial as- sistance be given the Territory at once.

The Chelan, Itaska and Northland will search from the base westward to Attu. The search of the great circle route of the North Pa- cific Ocean by the Coast Guard was requested when 48 hours passed and no re- port had been received re- garding the two fliers. It is generally believed here that if the pilots were not forced down they exhausted their fuel supply. The request for the search was made by Gov.

From an unknown source came the report the two airmen had landed on a desolate island off the Northern British Columbia coast.
