GAME PRESERVES FOR ALASKA ARE NOW NECESSITY Bill Pending in Congress Will Remedy Control Situation, By RUTH FINNEY WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Whether or not your great grandchildren will be able to wear fur coats and scarfs when their turn for a fling at life arrives will be decided by the next Congress. It is not a question of blue laws, but of game preserves. Alasaka, the last great game wilderness of the United States, is being fast depelted throiugh lack of proper conservation and protection of wild life, according to complaints made to Congress. To remedy this condition anew Alaska game act was drawn, was passed by the Sen j ate, favorably reported by a House ! commimttete, and now awaits only j favorable action by Congress, when it returns to Washington. Three Different Officials For years past three different authorities have been trying to function along conservation lines, but have duplcated each others' efforts in many districts and have left other sections with no protection whatsoever. The Secretary of the Interior through the Governor of the Territory, has had charge of wardens, while the Secretary of Agriculture has had authority in the matter of restrictions over killing and exporting birds and animals. The administration of protective laws has been under the biological survey of the Department of Commerce. The new law would put administration of game regulations all into the hands of a commission of which four of the five members would be Alaskans. The fifth member would be the chief representative of the' Biological Survey. Unlawful to Sell Them In addition to forbidding the killing of birds and animals, It also makes it unlawful to take, possess, transport, buy or sell them, thus adding greatly to the practicability of enforcement. It tightens regulations concerning the securing o& hunting and trapping licensee, ajid it requires guides and fur farmers and fur dealers to be registered. Police powers are conferred upon a large crop of Federal employes In order may assist wardens in catching violators. So serious are conditions that moose are almost exterminated in the greater part of the territory. Beaver have become so scarce that a closed season has been declared fur them. The future existence of marten Is threatened. Alaskans plead that for years to come, game and fur will be the only productive asset of vast areas of Alaska. DEMOCRATS GET BLAME

M’CULLOCH RAPS STATE OVERHEAD Flays G, 0, P, Extravagance in Rockville Talk, Bo Times Special ROCKVILLE, Ind., Oct. 21. Speaking at Rockville this afternoon. Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch discussed further the enormous overhead ex pense caused by the commission form of government ‘now operating in the Statehouse, saying it had flooded the floors and the basement with employes, running over into adjoining buildings around the square. The whole system, he said, was contrary to the Democratic ideas of the ability of the small units, the cities, towns and counties to govern themselves, and expressed nis l>cii< f in local self-government to the greatest possible degree. Displaying an illustrated chart of the various boards and commissions with their long lists of salaried officials and paid employes, he proceeded to point out substantial economics that could be made. He expressed surprise that the apologists for the present admin istration could expect the peopk to believe in the face of their tax bills that there was anything in the statement that a 30-cent tax rate was an improvement over the Ralston regime. “Since assessed valuations are more than twice as much as they were in the Ralston administration, even a child knows that the actual tax payments are enormously increased,” he said. Dr. McCuilocli also emphasized the fact that to secure lower taxes economy must not be confined to the Statehouse alone, hut the smaller units should also participate themselves in a crusade against unnecessary expenditures. He expressed his intention, if elected, to recommend to the Legislature that a revaluation of nil real estate be made next year Instead of the year after next, as the law provides.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MANUFACTURERS FIGHT MINIMUM SALARY STATUTE Fate of 150,000 Working: Women in California Rests in Court, By MAX STERN SAN FRANCIS!’O, Oct. 21 —The fate of 150,000 working women is in the hands of the California Supreme Court. Basing their contention on the I precedent of the United Suites Su- 1 preme Court majority, which knocked out the District of Columbia law in the Adkins case, the manufacturers have started a drive against ; the California minimum wage law and have every hope of a favorable decision some time after election j day. The California case is that of , Helen Gainer against the Industrial j Welfare Commission. Miss Gainer I complains that she wants to work in a candy factory for $6 a week, but that the commission operating the minimum wage law forces her to accept sl6. The fact that the unfortunate Helen has not been produced by ''her’’ high-priced attorney and is said by her landlady to be “woikin >le movies” in Hollywood, lends the only humorous as pect to the situation. I.aix.r Trouble Avoided The minimum wage law has been ' operating successfully in California for ten years. In a brief submitted i in behalf of some 100,000 club women and women’s unions, Felix Frank- I furt.r r of Harvard University shows that under the law not only have I California industrial conditions been | made livable for women wage earners, but labor troubles have been avoided, industrial efficiency increased and business has prospered i for the employers. He declares that if tiie law is held unconstitutional i conditions of 1012 In which thousands of California women worked for less than $lO a week will return. Resent Supreme Court Another lawyer, Warren Pillsbury, filed a brief to assist the attorney \ general in fighting the manufactur- j era. Pillsbury served warning upon j the court that to follow the United States Supreme Court would add fuel to the flames of popular resentment ; against the nullifying of popular j laws by the higher courts. “The power to declare a law unconstitutional Is nuder fire as never before." declared Pillsbury. “It is j brought about this time by decisions j of the Federal Supreme Court, par- j ticllarly 5 to 4 decisions, conflicting i witli the mature deliberations of the j people with reference to social legis-1 lation.” GARBAGE PLANT COST IS HIGHER Exceeds Original Estimate of $375,000, * A $250,000 bond issue to finance j completion of the city's new sewage disposal and garbage reduction plants at Sellars farm was authorized by the sanitary board today. Bonds will be offered for sale Nov. 26, and will bear 4.5 per cent interest. Board members pointed out that | the issue was necessary due to the j rise in price of material and sup- j plies and labor costs over the orig-j Inal estimates of construction. Sewage disposal plant was estimated to i cot $2,458,000, of which $2,436,001)! hs already been financed by bond j issues. Os the original estimated j cost of the garbage reduction plant of $375, there has been a bond issue of $375,000. Estimates on both ' plants proved too low, board mem- j bers said. Officials believe the $250,000 Issue j will complete the plants ready for j full operation next spring. Prevent Old Age PARIS, Oct. 21.—Professor Voronoff, inventor of the monkey-gland operation for the rejuvenation of mankind, is credited with a discovery for the prolonging of life by prevention of hardening of the arteries, which is a common symptom of old age. Voronoff says he has successfully treated sixteen cases of hardened arteries.

SALESMAN LOSES 5587 IN HOLD-UP IN HIS GARAGE Commission Firm Employe Encounters Bandit Pair, Two bandits, color unknown, hidden in the garage at the home of William Belford, 40 S. Rural St., salesman for the George Hitz & Cos., commission merchants, early today held up and robbed Belford of $587 of the company’s money when he went to get his automobile. Belford told police when he opened the door of his garage at 5:45 a. m. and reached for the light switch he was commanded “to stick up his hands.” He said on account of the darkness he could not tell whether the men were colored or white, nor the kind of clothes they wore, but judged from the voice of the man who commanded him that he was colored. lie said the men ran out the back door after taking the money. Police were also investigating another hold-up reported by Carl Wright, 1142 Olive St., that took place at Keystone Ave. and Allisonville Rd. early today. He told motor police he was riding with two women whose names he did not know, and when he stopped his car two men came up and demanded he buy whisky. When he refused, he said, they heat him and took $57. The women were gone when police ar rived. Mrs. Gertpjde Besson, 32, Eugenia apartments, asked police to search for a “handsome" stranger, who departed after taking SSOO from her. She said he wore a lodge insignia of a high degree and told her his name was George Barlow Mills of Washington and that he was a United States attorney. He promised a $5,000 profit on her SSOO, she said. William Laxter, colored, 1809 Northwestern Ave., told the police while he was passing Fifteenth and West Sts., he was slugged by two white men who robbed him of $2.70. EXAMINATION OF HODGES ASKED La Follette Wants G, 0, P, Treasurer Quizzed, By I nttrd I ‘re** EN ROUTE WITH SENATOR LA FOLLETTE TO ROCK ISLAND. 11l , Oct. 21. — Rigid cross examination of William V*. Hodges, treasurer of the Republican national committee, one of witnesses summoned before the Senate investigating committee to determine if there iias been violation of th elaw, was demanded today by Senator Ln Follette, Independent candidate for President. "I fed confident the committee will grant such eminent attorneys as Samuel Untermeyer and Frank P. Walsh the right to cross-examine all witnesses. The Republicans have already admitted the expenditure of $400,000 for publicity. It is highly important, in the public interest, that *t should be known to whom this money went and for what purpose it used,” he said. In a speech at Omaha Monday night La Follette outlined his attitude toward the railroads. He attacked the Esch Cummins act, charging it was framed so as to permit a return of 16 to 17 per cent on real value of the railroads. .Repeal of the act rather than Government ownership Is the important issue, he said.

STAGE A COLD REMEDY Actors IJve in Drafts, but Suffer little From It. Is there a place where a person can sit in a draft and bo cured of a cold Instead of taking one? William Lyon Phelps in the October Scribner's says that the stage is that sort of place. Actors and actresses, he maintains, livo in draft. He asked Walter Hampden if he ever suffered from a cold and the currents of air. Tho actor said that he had often cured colds by being on the stage, but never caught any there. He knew of members of his company who had crawled out of sick-beds to act and had been healthier when the play was over than they were when it started.

By Timm BprcUll WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Swedish engineers have invented anew type of speedometer which they state will control the speed of the car, says Acting Commercial Attache H. Sorenson in a report to the Department of Commerce. It connects to a round disk connected with the front axle by means of a shaft. On the disk is a set of eccentric circles which record the speed at which the car is driven, ranging from 0 at the center to 60 kilometers per hour at the outer circle. The circumference of the inner circle is arranged to register a distance traveled of 1,000 meters. In the center of the' disk are several register fittings. Two figures indicate the maximum speed of the car during the last and neext to the last kilometer; a five-figure register indicates the total distance traveled; a three-figure system measures a given stretch of road traveled. Portrait Given Masons A portrait of the Rev. Willis D. Engle, for forty-seven years secretary of Mystic Tie Dodge, F. and A. M., adorned the lodge room walls today.

CALL GOVERNORS TO BETTER MINE WORK CONDITIONS Meeting Will Be Field After Election at Washington, Times Washington Bureau, 1321 A etc York Ave. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—A meeting of governors of all coal mining States will be called here to formulate a general code for improving working conditions in mines. “It is quite essential that the Governors of all States agree on a general program to eliminate the hazards of mining,” Assistant. Director Read of the United States Bureau of Mines, who hasNiharge of safety work, declared. During the last session of Congress, Representative John M. Robison of Kentucky, chairman’’of the House Committee on Mines and Mining, suggested the calling of such a meeting and Secretary Work has Written the President endorsing such a plan of action. (’ailed After Election It is understood that the meeting will he called immediately after f lection, when the various governors will be able to attend. In the meantime .the Bureau of Mines is continuing its efforts to get mine operators to buy safe electrical equipment and to use rock dusting methods for preventing explosions. Accidents from all causes at coal mines caused the death of 166 miners in August alone, according to announcement made today by the Bureau of Mines. During the past fourteen years the Bureau of Mines, in cooperation with managers of electrical machinery and equipment for mines, has conducted thousands of tests on apparatus submitted by manufacturers to detrmine whether the device is safe for use in explosive atmospheres. Require Approved Equipment One of the purposes of the proposed meeting of State Governors will be to get laws passed reyuiring use of approved equipment. “Os course, no Governor can actually compel a Legislature to pass certain laws, but if the Governors of all mining States would get together and agree on safety requirements, it would go a great way toward lessening disasters,” Read declared. Read said that reports received by the Bureau of Mines for the first eight months o f 1924 show that 1,628 men have been killed by mine accidents. This means that for million tens of coal mined during that period more than four men lost their lives. The exact rate -was 4.58 per mission, as compared with 4.12 in 1923. LICENSE LAW OPPOSED Community Club Against Proposed Auto BUI. Proposed law requiring a license for all automobile drivers is opposed by the East Thirtieth Street Community Club. Too many taxes are required from automobile drivers, and reckless persons would be able to secure licenses, as well as careful ones, members said, at a meeting Monday night, at Sutherland Avenue Presbyterian Church. The club will ask a downtown bank to establish a community branch. Officer will be elected Nov. 17.

Campaign DAY BY DAY

Hearings on alleged Republican “slush fund” resumed today in Washington before the Senate campaign fund investigating committee. The Democratic national committee, through its director of finance Jesse H. Jones, made public a list of contributors to the campaign fund, disclosing that $561,728 was the total amount collected up to Oct, 18, John W. Davis speaks tonight at Louisville, after which he has only three more speaking dates before returning to New York, Oct. 24. At Nashville Monday night, the Democratic nominee criticised President Coolidge’s “Navy Day” letter, which said that by terms of the Washington arms conference, the United States was entitled to maintain a navy second to none in the world. “Yet,” Davis.,said, “our Navy is inferior to Great Britain and barely equal to that of Japan.” Senator La Follette turned to the East today, where he will wind up his campaign, confident the West is “safe for the independents.” In his last Western speech at Omaha Monday night the independent candidate told of his program for public ownership of the railroads and called for repeal of the Esch-Cummins law, abolishing of the railroad labor board and enactment of the HowellBarkley bill. President Coolidge met his Cabinet and continued work on the speech he is to deliver Thursday night before the United States Chamber of Commerce. Governor Charles W. Bryan, Davis’ running mate, speaks today at Benton, Fairfield and Robinson, 111., and then passes on to Ohio. MILLION DDLS. OF OIL USED DAILY Five Months' Supply Held in Storage, In 1859, the total crude oil produced in the United States did not exceed 2.000 barrels. By 1569, production had increased to 4 million barrels per annum—less than 3 days’ production today. Today we consume about 1,000,800 barrels of crude per day, with only about five months’ supply in storage. In 1882, we exported $44,623,000 of petroleum products. In 1922, this jumped to $330,900,000. In ISB2, entire capital in petroleum industry was $114,000,000. Today it is about $8,000,000,000 —an average increase per year of $197,150,000. In 18S2, It cost about $3,400 to drill a well. 3,268 wells were drilled in that year. All but 179 were producers—only 5*4 per cent loss. In 1922, 24,642 new- wells were drilled. 6,406 were dry holes —a 22 per cent loss. The average depth of the modern well is over 2,800 feet against the 1,600 feet of the earlier wells. The total cost of the 650,000,000 barrels of crude produced ln 1922 was $534.273,000. The producers realized only $775,000,000 —a loss of $59,273,000 to the producing branch of the industry. In 1522, only 3.2 per cent of the export value of petroleum products was naphtha. Today naphtha represents 44 per cent.
