Beer—Machine Guns Representatives of the largest breweries, including the Rupperts of New York, and Anheuser-Busch of St. Louis, said they can manu- facture and sell beer more cheaply than racketeers but cannot com- pete with machine guns, Meanwhile some brewers have aroused the heer advocates in Congress by saying they must get 10 cents a glass to make a profit. Nothing Doing Representative John J. O'Con- Democrat of New York, said: ‘That's too high. They are not going to get away with it. If the price of beer is too high the av- erage man will not be able to buy it and that will cut down the esti- mated Federal revenue. We are not going to have any profiteering or stamp out one beer racket to let another flourish.” ———————— STOCK MARKET SLIPS; ISSUES CARRIED DOWN Heavy Wheat Market, Break in Sterling, War Debts, Bad Influence NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—The Stock Market broke out of the narrow trading ‘range today on the down- side and prices slipped easily un- der comparativ€ly light selling.

J. Turner, Chairman; J. L Gray and M. L. Merritt—to submit a list of members for the several offices. There are seven directors, all of whose terms expire next month. | Nominations, other than those sub- mitted by the committee, can be made from the floor on December 8 and the succeeding week. Game Board Attends Today was Alaska Game Com- mission day for the Cnamber. Four Commsisioners — W. R. Selfridge, Frank P. Willlams, Andy Simons and Irving McK. Reed—H. W, Ter- hune, Executive Secretary, and E. M. Goddard, his assistant, were guests. W. R. Hanlon, former May- or of Sitka, and W. B. King, Assistant U. 8. Attorney of Ketchi- kan, were other ‘out-of-town guests. Mr. Selfridge, Chairman of the Commission, thanked the Chamber for support of the Commission’s policies in the past. He said the Board welcomed suggestions and glad of any help it received. “I have traveled a gcod deal over Alaska since I was here last |year, and I can say now as I did {ous town I have been in,” said Mr. Wwilliams. This view was taken, also, by Mr. Simons, member for the Third Division. May Be Last Meeting Mr. Reed, who represents the Fourth Division on the Commis- sion, said this might be the last ‘meetmg of the Board, referring in- idirectly to the movement to obtain lature power to control game and furbearing animals in vhe Terri- tory. He said he doubted if this would come to pass, since Alaska would hardly want to give up the $100- 000 it gets from the Commission every year, and some $20,000 more in revenues that goes to schools. Game Management Plan No activity, not even politics, is so fraught with troublesome controversies as is game control, declared Mr. Terhune. Every reg- ulation and law adopted or passed dealing with these resources is apt to cause agitation. It has been and is the aim of the Commis- sion to adopt a game management plan that will strike a happy med- ium and be satisfactory to the ma- jority of if not all of the people. The Commission, he added, al- ways appreciafes suggestions and constructive criticism.

L. “Whitlam, Master of the motorship North Star, service vessel of the Alaska Division of the Office of Indian Affairs, re- peating a question asked of him last evening soon after arrival of his craft in Juneau from Point Barrow and various far-flung ports of Arctic, Bering and North Pacific waters. “Yes,” indeed,” he answered. “A baby was born aboard ship. The infant, a girl, made her advent |into the world several hours before our arrival at Kodiak on our home- ward voyage. Her mother, Mrs, John Olson, an Indian woman, and I the father, a white man, embarked at Koyuk, in Norton Sound, and got off at Hoonah. | No Physician on Board | “The event occasioned some con- cern to ship’s officers, inasmuch as our personnel did not include a physician. The case was capably |attended to by Mrs. J. Jackson, \another Indian woman, who with her husband, also an Indian, was on the vessel. There are eight other children in the Olson fam- ily, all of whom were aboard ship.| | They were delighted with their new sister, who, hale and harty, was also made much of by everybody else on the boat. Olson is a pros- pector.” The North Star, which was put {in commission last June, left Seat-| tle for her cruise to the far reach- es of the Arctic early in August. In going North she called at Ju-! neau and way ports to the West- ward and to the North. She dis- tributed Red Cross flour, among many of the Indian communities, and Government supplies and equip- ment at many of the Indian com- munities. Farthest North Call “Point Barrow was our farthest North call” Capt. Whitlam said, “Cape Prince of Wales, our most westerly. We were in Siberian wat- |ers off the Diomedes, but made no stop in the foreign area. “The North Star behaved splen- |d1dly, Her engines worked perfect- ly, and all deck equipment ful- filled every expectation. “The season, to the Westward and to the North was normal, according |to my observations. I have seen | some better, and many much worse. “Conditions at the Indian set- |tlements appear satisfactory, from |2 health viewpoint, but not grati- fying in all instances from an | economic standpeint. ‘Besides dis- | tributing relief food, the North | Star gave out clothing, principally shirts and underwear, former Army supplies, which the vessel took jaboard at St. Paul and St. Lawr- ence Islands. | Turned South September 6 i “The North Star reached Point BIG SCHOOL IS SETFORTHNOW| Hoodlum Tactics Are Ref‘ ported by Eight Thou- sand Students SPECIAL PAID MEN veals Astonishing State of Affairs charges that hoodlum terrorism in suburban Cicero that came to- day from 8000 pupils and more than 100 teachers are denied by Frank Svoboda, President of - the Board of Education, the Chicago Tribune said.
