Buried in Coffin Made From Bar He Used to Keep Ey the Assoglated Press NOME, Alaska. July 1.—Barney Gibney, 69, sourdough of Dawson, Yukon River, Nome and Teller gold rush fame, will be buried in a handmade coffin fashioned from the mahogany bar of the Gold Saloon, in Dawson, of which he ance was proprietor. Gibney died Saturday after an {liness of three years. He was born in Plattsburg, N. Y. and was known as one of the most benevo- lent men of the Northland. He preserved the bar when prohibition put the establishment out of busi- ness, and expressed the wish that it be made into a coffin. policies of the Soviet government made any such project dangerous and lable to bring about pogroms. They insisted that Palestine alone of- fered secure Jewish colonization pos- | ibilities because there were oppor- tunities made legally secure by the | nations of the world where the Jews | of eastern Europe could rebuild their | shattered lives inga Jewish atmos- phere. After a three-hour debate a resolu- tion stating that “‘the best interests of Jewry require that all efforts for Jew- ish colonization should be concen- | trated on Palestine, and that insofar | as colonization 1§ concerned, th priority of Palestine be recognized, was referred to the incoming admin- istration for action. After a spirited debate, | the opposition declared that Palestine | Jewry should have the right to work out its own domestic problems with.| |out outside interferance, a resolution | was adopted urging equal suffrage for the Jewish women of Palestine.

BY JAMES L. BUTTS. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. PEKING, June 22.—Banditry, mili- tarism and opium cultivation are the principal causes of the famine con- ditions that affect 10,000,000 residents of Szechwan province, according to the International Famine Rellef Com- mission which nas just returned to Peking after making an investigation. It is estimated that 130,000 soldiers burden the Szechwan ing while 50,000 armed former soldier bandits are ravaging many districts. Great arable areas are devoted to poppy growing. Thls is enforced by the military authorities because of the large returns to be had from the opium trade. . From northern Szechwan where much opium is planted thousands of the residents are fleeing. Road Is Suggested. The international famine relief ex. perts suggest the building of a road between Chungking and the capital, hengtu, a distance of 300 miles. This would bring remunerative labor to he worst of the famine districts. It would also be of benefit to the entire | |Chinese civil governor here in response province. The various warring gen- erals in Szechwan have expressed their_approval of the scheme which will be submitted to the famine re- lief commi: n here. Famine conditions in Kweichow are reported to he as bad as those in Szechwan and to have resulted from drought and banditry (Copyright, 1: . by Chicago Daily News Co.)

[IN RAPS MELLON AS FINANCIERS’ TOOL Suggests Efforts to Prevent Further Issuance of Tax-Exempt Securities. Senator Heflin of Alabama, Demo- erat, in_a statement issued today, attacks Secretary Mellon and the Re. publican administration because of its attitude toward tax-exempt securities issued by States and municipalities. Senator Heflin charges that Secretary Mellon was the ‘“mouthplece of the big financlers of America.” The Alabama Senator suggested that an effort was being made to pre- vent the issue of any further tax- exempt securities, so that those al- ready issued would be protected. He said, too, that an injustice would be done the States and municipalities which in the future sought to issue bonds for needed improvements. ““No sane man.,” sald Senator Hef- lin, “would think for a moment of permitting the Federal Government fo lay a tax upon an electric light plant, water works, paved streets and public buildings of a single town or city in a single State of the Union. Yet that is precisely what Mr. Mel- lon -and his Republican friends are proposing to do. A tax upon bonds issued for the purpose of putting in water works, paving streets, con- structing public highways, erecting municipal ~buildings, public school buildings and county courthouses, is a tax upon the people in whose lo- .| calities that money will be expended and those jmprovements were made. Think of the Federal Government— the creature of the States—demanding and collecting Federal taxes on the Capitol building of a flo\'ereisn State.” INSPECTORS REACH GUAM.
