ALBERTS MOVES SITKA OFFICES T0 THIS CITY tion Headquarters Here —Hansen Also Moves Effective October z, yesterday, the headquarters office of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Stations has been moved from Sitka to Ju- neau, and the personnel, which in- cludes H.

The Experimental Stations have been assigned rooms in the Federal building. The transfer involves only the headquarters office. The ex- perimental work for Southeastern Alaska will continued to be carried on at Sitka. The change, it was announced, is made to promote ef« ficiency in administration and for the advantages of closer contacts and cooperation with other Fed- eral Bureaus. History of Work ‘The history of the development of agricultural experimental work in Alaska dates back to 1898 when Dr. C. C. Georgeson, now deceased, was sent to Alaska to inaugurate investigations of the agricultural possibllities of the extensive areas which "It~ was belleved might” be syitable for farming. ‘Experiment stations were started at Sitka, Ke- nal, Copper Center and Rampart (Continuea on Page Two) fiVomen of Establish Experiment Sta-| WILL REAFFIRM STAND ON BEER DECLARES GREEN {American Federation of Labor President Makes Statement SEATTLE, Oct. 2—The Ameri- can Federation of Labor will “em- phatically- reaffirm” its stand on modification of the Volstead Act to permit of manufacture of 2.75 per Spain Can Vote Now Suffrage Is Written Into Constitution by Congress MADRID, Spain, Oct. 2. — Con- gress has written suffrage for wom-| =n into the constitution.

This morning a bulletin was issued that Sh Thomas seemed improved and chills were fewer. He contracted a severe cold ten days ago while mo- toring. Physiclans said heart failure end- ed Sir Thomas' life. He died in peaceful sleep with several friends at his bedside. Intcrnationally famous yachts- man and tea merchant, S8ir Thomas Lipton spent many years of his life and nearly $10,000000 of his vast fortune nursing a hobby to win back for England the Ameri- ca's Cup—a silver yachting trophy actually worth a hundred guineas. In 1851 the little clipper yacht America, an unknown contender crossed the Atlantic under her own sail, took her place on the start- ing line with a fleld of 18 illus- trious “thoroughbreds of the aris- tocracy” and astounded every sportsman In Britain by hugging to herself the victory and the cup in a race around the Isle of Wight. Six years later the cup became an international trophy, dubbed “the cup of all nations.” .. Makes Five. Attempts . '8ix Thomas.

Several notable attempts to re- capture the cup had been made before Lipton’took up the quest in 1899, but all of them were fail ures. Just a year before the 20th century rolled around, Sir Thomas appeared off Sandy Hook with his yacht Shamrock I., first of the five famous ‘Shamrock sisters that al- ways proved a mite too slow for the American-built defenders. Columbia was chosen by the New York Yacht Club to beat the Bhamrock and proved herself wor- thy of the confidence. “Will Try Again” “The best boat won, but I'll try again,” were the words of Sir Thomas as he sailed away, and try again he did. His second challenge was issued and accepted in 1900, when Sham- rock II was ready for the fray. The yacht Constitution was select- ed by the New York Yacht Club as defender, but owing to an acci- dent to. her mast during practice, it was necessary to again bring out Columbia. Her performance was @ven better than in the first race, whereupon Sir Thomas, his optim- (ism unshaken, began thinking of Shamrock IIT. ‘This craft was brought to Amer- ica in 1903.

Rules Modification Nothing was heard from Sir Thomas until 1907, when he again challenged but asked for a modi- fication of the rules and measure- ment stipulations governing the previous contasts. This challenge was declined by the Americans on seven grounds, chief of which was the contention that the cup stood pre-eminently for speed and should be contested for by the fastest and most powerful vessels that could be bullt. Lipton had sought to compete with a little 68-foot sloop, while American racing officials de- sired a 90-footer, holding that yacht racing, as every other sport, should progress, Seven years of controversy fol- lowed this announcement during which Lipton made numerous at- tempts to procure a modification of the ruling. Finally, in 1913, the New York offictals agreed to com- Ppromise on a 75-foot vessel and Lipton “issued a challenge under (Continuea wa Page Six) Maj. L. E.
