LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION A FALSE ALARM. The Petersburg Commercial Club, which has wired Mayor Goldstein to ask the local Chamber of| Commerce to enter a protest against an alleged modification of regulations that curb operations of seine boats of more than 50 feet registered length, is apparently unduly alarmed. A perusual of the 1934 fishing regulations reveals no cause for per- turbation® on that score. The seine boat regula- tions have been changed but little from those of former years and that seems designed to clarify the situation rather than to open any new fishing grounds to the larger seine boats. Regulations of prior "years forbade the use of purse seine boats longer than 50 feet registered length in all districts except one, the Alaska Pen- insula area. Regulation thirteen for that district in 1933, and prior , said: “No boat used in operating any pur 11 be longer than 50 feet, as shown by offic coister length: Provided, that this shall not apply to such boats operated on the north side of the Alacka Peninsula.” In the 1034 text, a printed copy of which has just been d by The Empire, regulation eleven subject. It reads as follows: “No boat in operating any purse seine shall be longer than 50 feet, as shown by official register length: Provided, that this shall not apply to such| boats operated on the north side of the Alaska | Peninsula, or in the waters of this area west of | Thin Point.” The change, as shown by the language, is confined to the last clause in the regulation whmh. opens the waters west of Thin Point to the hxgeri vessels. Thin .Point is situated on the southern shore of the Alaska Peninsula at the westernmost end of the mainland. West of these extends the Aleutian Island chain. Local purse seiners are not handicapped in any way by the opening of lhose; waters which, owing to the fact that they are with- out shelter from the sweep of the North Pacific Ccean storms, can only be fished by boats of adequate size and enough power to combat the elements. There is nothing here to justify a protest. Com- missioner Bell has kept his promise to Delegate Dimond and the people of Alaska not to throw down the bars already erected against the itinerant purse seiners using large craft and who in years past invaded the Territory in large fleets to the decided disadvantage of local fishermen. WHAT IS A POISON? It may surprise many people to learn from Dr. John J. Abel, retiring President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in a recent address at Boston, that there is no definition of “poison” in the medical law of the United States or England. “No one has ever been able to give a ccncise and accurate definition of a poison that! would ay;lv to every one of the many thousands of | known poisons,” said the distinguished Johns Hop- kins scientis Dr. Abel made this announcement to emphasize how obscure is man's knowledge of poisons and how meaningless is the term in a basic sense. Na- ture, he went on to point out, has not affixed a poison label to any particular substance or class of substance. The pharmacist does that. |the upgrade. on the amount taken. Strychnine, quinine, certain arsenic compounds, together with insulin and gland- ular extracts are only a few substances having powerful actions which in the right doses can be beneficial but in overdoses are harmful. FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE ACT EXPIRES. The Congressional act, hailed with so much acclaim a year ago, to grant independence to the Philippine Islands expired this month because of the failure of the Islanders to ratify it. Its terms were objectionable to a large majority of the Fili- pinos and it had little support from them or American_ interests with investments in properties | lin the islands. That, of course, does not end the matter. Sooner or later it must be dealt with| decisively. We have pledged our word as a Nation to grant them complete independence and it is not probable they will ever be satisfied with less than that. The measure that just expired did sort of qualified independence and the Filipinos turned it down Public sentiment in the country is largely in favor of carrying out the promise in the Jones Act of 1916, the preamble of which declares “it has alwavs been the purpose of the people of the United States to withdraw their sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and to recognize their independ- ence as soon as a stable government can be estab- lished therein.” Many Filipino leaders declare this condition can now be met. Others of them disagree and the factions have not been able to agree on a definite plan, The pressing nature of the problems facing the Roosevelt, Administration at this time, and the fact that Congress has so much vital legislation to handle | within the next few months, makes it reasonable | for a postponement of present consideration of the | whole problem. It should not be delayed longer than absolutely neecssary. As soon as possible the terms should be settled on which the complete withdrawal of American sovereignty over the islands that was promised will be accomplished. give a Maybe if Tammany Hall gets a few more blows on the chin like the November municipal election and the revolt in the Board of Aldermen it will realize that “Curry Must Go.” New Tariff Plans. (New York Times.) Our Washington dispatches state definitely that the President is to ask Congress for new tariff leg- islation. He affirmed this intention at a conference with newspapers correspondents, “but declined indicate what form the proposed take.” It is suggested, however, that he may re- quest authority to modify existing duties at certain | points and within specified limits, in order facilitate negotiation of commercial treaties. Of the desirability of such treaties the President and his party placed great emphasis before they assumed the responsibilities of office. ocratic platform of 1932 called for “reciprocal tariff |agreements with other nations,” and in his most {important speech on tariff matters during the 1932 mmpaxz,n Mr. Roosevelt described such agreements to “the first and most desirable method” of recover- lng foreign markets which are ential to the farmer. It was believed that he would bring the question before Congress ear own messages. On April 3 he stated that he would presently ask the Congress for legislation enabling us to initiate practical reciprocal tariff agreements to break through trade barriers and establish foreign | markets for farm and industrial products.” But this request was not made. Soon major interest and emphasis of the administration was diverted from international to “intranational” policies. Various developments have suggested change of policy may be approaching, terest in international policies may be revived. Among the matters pointing in this direction are the ceration of a new export agency under the direction of Mr. Peek, the successful negotiation of the first reciprocal treaty (with Colombia) and the recent declaration of Secretary Wallace that despite the ambitious experiment with *“domestic allotment” foreign trade “will continue to be vitally important | to American agriculture.” There is little reason to doubt that considerable authority over tariff rates could legally be given to the President. Somewhat similar authority, aimed at a different purpose, is contained in the so-called ‘flexible provisions” of existing tariff law. The trade cycle, says a financial surveyor, is on And, gosh, isn't it too bad the darned thing isn’t motorized?—(Boston Herald.)

J. Morton, Chief of the Fed. eral Food and Drugs Adm'nistra- tion, announced yesterday that three lots of Japanese canned tuna fish, totaling 1,550 cases, have been detained by the Department be- cause they are decomposed. The shipment is valued at $12,000 and was consigned to a New York distributor. Morton said decomposition was such as not to bs moticed by the consumer as it took place before the fish were canned. retary of Agriculture Wallace, ap- pearing today before a Senate Committee, asserted that the first eight months of the operation of the greatest farm experiment ever conducted in this country, provid- ed a conclusive demonstration it would work. Secretary Wallace was generally optimistic over the farm outlook. — eee WALLIS 8. GEORGE GOES TO SITKA ON BUSINESS ‘Wallis S.

While Curt was reaching the cove, Smash cut the mooring ropes, clam- bered into the cabin, cranked the engine and pushed up the throttle, l and had the motor settled into a | steady powerful rhythm. “Jump out!” Curt ordered him, splashing to a pontoon and clamber- ing up. “I've got to go after him alone.” Smash jumped into the hip-deep water, but turned, looked up. “Curt! What're you going to do, man? What the devil—?" suddenly bowled over, He was deluged and half drowned in a blind- ing sther of spume and chopped- ater, as Curt opened the motor ing roar and plowed out of the cove to the open lake. For several minutes after Curt had left the cave mouth, Paul stayed there to watch, \ ing, and decided that he was needed | elsewhere. Before leaving, he called in Sikan- to the men inside the cave: Chings of infamy, you will come t when we say come out! If you { ni | are peaceful, you will see the sun: shine a, n.

She turned her head saw him and tried to rise, but Kara- khan had bound her too securely Paul ran across to her. As he bent over her and she looked up at him the expression in her eyes was a thing he could never afterward for- | get. When he cut her loose she sprang up and hugged him, sobbing: “Paul! | Paul! Oh, I knew—I heard the shoot- ing—I knew you had come! Where's | Curt? Is he—is he safe?” In few words Paul explained “Tenn-Og brought us north, we flew | in last night, we've just whipped the Klosohees. Those planes, hear | them—" the two ships out on the | lake were jarring the cabin with their full-gunned roar—*that's Curt going after Karakhan.” Let's go!™ They ran out of the cabin to the ypen landwash. Heavy with gas, Karakhan's plane had got off the water and climbed to a thousand feet, and was circling for altitude to clear the ranges. Curt was just jumping his ship into the r as they came out, Lighter and swifter than the other [ | ing spiral, cutting down Karakhan's lead so rapidly that in four minutes it was up level with the Speedair. In bewildered awe Paul and Sonya stood on the shore, faces upturned | “What's Curt going to do, Paul?” Sonya cried. | Paul shook his head, utterly non | plussed. His partner had gas for only a few miles and could not fol- | low: he had no gun except an auto- | matic, and could not fight. His | | maneuvers were utterly mystifying He was not even trying to close up, while he might have got in a lucky shot with the pocket gun; instead he was deliberately keeping at a dis- tance from Karakhan. T FOUR THOUSAND feet Kara khan leveled off and swung due south, Curt was behind him at that moment, and about five hundred feet above. As the Speedair swung, | Curt’s ship nosed down and headed for the other plane, straight as a | fAluted arrow. He hurtled on and on, aiming his craft like a huge projectile at Kara- khan's plane. The interval shrank —two hundred feet, a hundred, fifty. Still he did not turn or swerve an inch. Sonya screamed. He was going to crash! crashing! With an explosive smash that came to them distinctly, the Fair- child plowed into the other ship, breaking the Speedair’s fuselage in two and tearing off both wings. Careening on beyond the Speedair, Curt’s plane turned over twice, with its own pontoons and one of its wings gone; and started a crazy lurching spin to the lake below. Karakhan's ship, a tangle f fabric and metal, came plummeting straight down. A few seconds after the crash a puff of smoke streamed He was FORBIDDEN VALLEY by Williom Bynon Mowery But he saw noth- From the door of the cabin heY plane, it climbed in a steep thunder- | ont behind it, and within a thousand feet the whole mass was wrapped in fierce flames. | But Paul and Sonya scarcely saw' it. Their horrified eyes were on Curt’s broken plane as it twirled downward at a ter'ific speed, its propeller gone, its engine roar changed to a high-pitched scream. At two thousand feet a small manikin object detached itself from | | the falling wreckage. For five or six/| | seconds it came down and down, turning slowly, head over feet, till | the demolished plane vas a hundred yards below it and well to one side. | inst the blue of the sky a tiny bit of white flashed. A moment later a long streamer of white shot out. While the two wrecked craft were plummeting on down, to hit the lake with a tremendous splash and sink out of sight, the streamer caught the air, flared out and burst into a white sky-flower. “Oh-00!” broke from both of them cry of unwordable thankfulness, releasing all their spellbound fears | of those last terrible minutes. Even then they could not fully realize that | Curl had saved himself. It came home to them only by degrees, as they watched the packchute stop swinging and drift {1 their direction. It was Sonya who first saw Curt tugging at the guide lines and under- stood the danger he was fighting against. “Paul! Get a canoe! down in the lake! out to him!” >aul sprang back the path to a canoe near the cabin. By the time he got it to water, he saw that the craft would not be needed; the wind was carrying the ’chute south | asainst the mountain slope. Four hundred feet high it passed over their heads, and Curt looked down and waved assurance to them. Fall- ing slowly, he brushed low over a clump of spruces and lodged in a tall pine just above th- little knoll. Paul hurried up to help his part- ner, but Sonya coul® not move. When she saw that Curt had landed and was safe, she sank down on the canoe, faint and trembling. A wing of Karakhan's plane was bobbing in | toward shore, but the ship itself had | disappeared, and Karakhan with it | —~down in the icy depths of the lake. | As her eyes followed that piece of | bobbing wreckage, she strove to realize that he wa- dead, dead—the | man who had eruell: sent her father | and Carl to their innocent deatbs. Her long hunt was ended. . s oe e T RUSSIAN LAKE old John came walking into the fireglow n( Curt's where Curt sat talk- vith Supe tendent Marlin who had flown up from Vancouver that afternoon. “I'm havin’ a leetle git-together over at my tent dreckly, like we had that time afore, Curt; an’ 1 figgered you men "ud like to j'in us. Paul an’ Tenn-Og an' some more air there |wready, v’ the others all said | they're comin’.” “~%“Thanks, John, we'll be over,” Curt accepted. “Our trip really started there at your fire, and it ought to end there.” When old Paxton had gone, Mar- lin handed Curt another newspaper. “Here’s the Times-Tribune. Read this.” The streaming headline: KARAKHAN TAKEN BY FORMER | MOUNTY brought Curt a glow of hard-earned pride; but he was more gratified by the subhead, with ite emphasis on Karakhan’s money: Embezzler of Huge Sums Killed in Resisting Arrest | The Karakhan hunt had cost him a heavy price personally — his maimed hand, his brushes with death, the suffering it had dragged | him through, and the destruction of the plane he had bought with the savings of several long years. As pay for all that he was to receive less than two hundred dollars. But the hunt had rained him cer- tain priceless things, not to be meas- ured in money. He and A-K were back on the old f oting again; he had found himself after a year of groping around, and he had found Sonya. He laid the paper and stack of others inside the tent. “I suppose we'd better start over to old John’s ‘sociable,’ A-K. You'll be the guest of honor there tonight, and they're probably waiting.” Marlin did not get up. In a moody silence he looked out upon the twilit | lake, drumming absently on the| chopping b'~ck.
