STOCK PRICES DRIFT LOWER, SHORT SESSION Number of Leading Issues Decline from One to Four Points NEW YORK, Jan. 2—The .stock | market drifted lower in the New Year's first session, a number of leading stocks declining from one to four points. Today's turn over was less than 1,000,000 shares. Sharp price declines are at- tributed mors to apathy buying during the abbreviated holiday ses- sion than to a pressure for selling. United States Steel gave way two points. Utilities showed weakness. American Telephone and Tele- graph, Peoples Gas and several others were down from one to over four points. Western Union was off about five points. American Can reacted to a new low. Losses of three or more points occurred for Dupont, Allied Chem- ical, Eastman, Macy, New York Central, Chesapeake and Ohio, New Haven, Pennsylvania. considerable CLOSING PRICES TODAY NEW YORK, Jan. 2. — Closing quotation of Alaska Juneau mine stock today is 13%, American Can 57%, Anaconda Copper 9'z, Beth- leh>m Steel 18%, Curtiss - Wright 1%, Fox Films 2%, General Motors 20%, Inte rnational Harvester 24, Kennecott 10%, Packard Motors 4, United States Steel 37%, Bunker Hill, no sale. - e — ODUNA PUTS OFF BALLAST Bound from Sewarc to Seattle, the Alaska Steamship Company's cargo carrier, Oduna, Capt.

Old Fire Escape Law Is Found in Oklahoma OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Jan. — Picture flinging a 300-foot lariat out a hotel window at the slidinz briskly to the street. That is what Oklahoma law would have one do, under an old statute uncovered by a code re- vision commission. | Drafted in the day of flimsy frame structures of two or three stories, the measure, never re- pealed, decrees that substantial) ropes and long enough to reach the ground, “carefully coiled,” shall be placed in each hotel room on or above the second floor. Oklahoma hotels now rear them- selves as much as 300 feet above street level, which would make a resort to this legal “fire escape” interesting, to say the least. - — ENGLISH “GILDED YOUTH” RUNS OFF IN U.

O. Hardy, War- den in charge during the absence of Capt. M. J. O'Connor, Assistant Agent. King salmon trolling in South- east Alaska, usually closed from January 1 to March 1, is permitted under the new regulations. Other changes include: opening of the Yukon district to limited fishing; fixing an opening date for fishing on the Copper River flats; and further reduction in trap areas in Southeast Alaska and Cook Inlet. Limit. Total Take Fishing for king salmon 500 yards outside the streams between 62 degrees north latitude and 63% degrees north latitude between June 15 and June 30 is permitted. This comprises the Yukon district. The total take for the season is set at 50,000 fish. As the kings in that section run large, it is estim- ated that this quantity would make about 25,000 cases of canned salmon. The king salmon season on the Copper River flats will open May 1, and on reds 15 days later. In past years there has been no fixed date for opening the season there. Until the regulations have been checked against charts to deter- it will not be possible to give the number and sites closed to fish traps in Southeast Alaska and the Cook In- let area. Reduce Boat Allotment In the Bristol Bay district the number of boats to each line of canning machinery operated was reduced materially. A cut from 7% ‘to six boats in one district, and from six to five in another was made. There were no other material changes in regulations there, and so far as is now known in the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak, Afognak, Chignik, Prince William Sound, Yakutat and Southeast Alaska areas. Seasonal dates that have| been in force for several years continue unchanged. - e — MAYOR GOXEY TOATTEMPT DREAM IDEA Will Ask Massillon Council| for Bond Issue | of $200.000 | MASSILLON, Ohio, Jan.2—Thirty eight years ago he was “General” Jacob Coxey, leader of a scraggly army of unemployed. Today he is Mayor Coxey. He is still fighting for an idea which came to him in a dream. Coxey at the age of 77 years was formally sworn in as Mayor of this town yesterday. The dream plan is to dissue $200,000 in low interest bearing bonds to be used as a medium of exchange in putting the unem- ployed to work on public improve- ments. lu. Tonight, Mayor Coxey said he will ask the City Council to app- rove the bond issue. The plan is the same he tried to put before the public in 94 on the famous march of “Coxey's Army.” ————— Daily Empire Want Ads Pay. “Tomorrow’s Styles Todas” SKIRTS New wool tweeds and flannels, suitable for sports and general wear in assorted col- ors and sizes. ‘The squat ships look like barges and all deck equipment is electric- ally operated.
