IMPORTANT BUSINESS
 BEFORE CHAMBER
(Continued from page il

elected by exclamation.
 The question of settling upon a regular night of meeting other than Friday was again discussed. A proposition was made that the chamber should meet semi monthly instead of each week as at present. The plan was vigor- ously opposed on the ground that matters of importance to Alaska in general and Valdez in partic- ular were before congress and would need watching.
 A telegram was submitted to the chamber which had been re- ccived by Mayor Boyle from Dele gate Wickersham asking that he be authorized to represent the Valdez chamber at national meeting of the chambers of con- merce at Washington on April 22. The delegate had asked that instructions be wired but a mo- ton prevailed that the president should write and forward the au-
 
 Wick"rSham to send d report of the convention to cnliGhtrn the Valdez chamber for future fuid- ancc.
 Mr. Edmund Smith, chairman of the committee appointed To raise money to send Mir. o. P. Hubbard it Washington rendered d statement showing that $7i7.50 had been forwarded. He stated there was HOW d draft for Sl50 drawn by Mr. Hubbard and must be taken up at once. in accord ancc with the agreement made before MT. Hubbard left for Washington. He suggested that the collection committee be dis missed and d new one appointed. The suggestion was put in the form of d motion which prevail ed and the committee was dis missed with a vote of thanks for their good work.
 MT. C. C. Rudolph, chairman of a committee appointed at a previous meeting to take the matter of the switching of the mail route up with the grand jury explained that after consultation with the pUstOtlicc inspector, at present i'll the city, the matter had been dropped as no change could be made which would be of benefit.
 Mr.. Paul d'llicry reported the result of his investigation con- corning fake information which was reported to nave been sent out through the chamber. It ap- pears that a number of pas ScDEcrS coming up on the steam CT who were ucSiruuS of going to the interior via Valdez had in- quircd concerning the condition of the trail. 4 fellow named House, who is well remembered by Valdez businessmen chiefly be- cause he left large number of unpaid bills behind, is said to have told the passengers he had sent a message to the Chamber of Commerce regarding the irail and the answer had come back that the road was absolutely i'm passablc. MT. House was voted a flt member of the Ananias club and can get certificate to that effect at any time on appli- cation to the secretary of the chamber.
 The chairman stated the pro- posed postal route along the sound for which estimates had been asked from launch owners, was puzzling the boat owners, as they could not understand the proposition of making the long trip to CordOva when the big steamers covered the route six times each month.

GOOD ROADS MOVE
MAY CLEAR The AIR
Auto Convention at Capital
Will Consider Legislation.

In admitting unquaIihedly that the
Federal government has the power TO
build natioAaI roads, President Taft. in
a recent speech to motorists, settled the
question of the constitutional right of
Congress to appropriate Federal funds in
aid Of a national system OF improved
highways. This declaration by President
TAFT. coupled with the fact that Presi-
dent Thomas Jefferson, whose political
principles are said to actuate the party
which is opposing Mr.. Taft, also be-
IIeved In the power Of the Federal gov
ernment to build roads across the States.
will be brought forward at the Federal
Aid Good Roads convention of the
American Automobile Association, in
Washington. January Is and II. This con-
vention has been called particularly TO
discuss the subject OF Federal aid. in an
effort to arrive at some definite pro-
gramme behind which all users OF the
roads can put their influence.
Some thirty-five different bills dealing
with the subject OF Federal participation
in highway Improvement are now pend
ing in Congress. Some Of these provide
for commissions to investigate the sub
ject; others call for immediate approprI-
ations for extensive schemes OF highway
Improvement: still others provide for the
construction of particular roads, such as
the proposed Lincoln memorial road. from
Washington 10 Gettysburg, the Martha
Washington memorial highway. from
Fredericksburg, Va. to the National
Capital. and various other specific
stretches OF turnpike.
Many OF the Senators and members
who have introduced these bills have con-
sented to address the convention and
explain their measures, while more than
fifty other members Of Congress have
already promised to attend the sessions
and take part in the discussion The
governors of several States already have
taken steps TO appoint delegates to the
while the forty-two State as
sOciationsi and 3l5 local clubs affiliated
with the A. A. T.. as well as many bust
ness. farmers. and other organisations,
are sending delegations.

ROCKVILLE LEADS
AS GRBTNA GREEN
40 Licenses to Marry Issued
There in 1911.

Rockville. Nd, Dec. I.-That Rockville
is truly a Gretna Green is shown by the
fact that during the year ended to-day 40
licenses to marry were issued by the
clerk of the Circuit Court here. OF this
number 10 were obtained by Mont
gomery County couples. l4S by couples
from Washington. 50 by couples from
Virginia, Is by Baltimore couples, and
the others by couples from various parts
of the country.
ROckvilles marrying parson," a re-
tired Baptist minister, again led the
ministers of the county in the number OF
ceremonies performed. During the year
he tied IA nuptial knots, increasing his
total to more than 1900. Rev. William
D. Keene, pastor Of the Rockville South
ern Methodist Church, stood second with
30 ceremonies to his credit. Rev. Philip
B. Mcclure, pastor OF ST. Marys Cath
ole Church, married twenty couples and
Rev. Thomas J. Packard, rector of
Christ Episcopal Church, was the Off
ciating minister on IS occasions. The
other ceremonies were performed by va
rious ministers in Rockville and other
parts of the county.
While Rockville is still popular as a
marrying mart, not as many licenses are
issued here as formerly. The falling OF
is believed to be due to the unenviable
notoriety of the town because of its in
discriminate administration of the mar
riage laws and because the clerk OF the
court has placed a ban upon issuing IL
censes after the regular closing hour OF
the office

Tarrytown. y. Y, Dec. sl.-The new
year has a cherries outlook for John
D. Rockefeller. Since he lost HIS job as
president Of the Standard OIL Company
one misfortune after another has been
dogginE him around his Pocantico Hills
estate. First he lost his lake; then the
village of Tarrytown turned down his
contract for oiling the roads: yesterday
the Y. NJ. c. A. called on him for $s5,-
600 for its new building, but the greatest
blow OF all fell to-day when George
Ferguson, the Rockefeller iceman, told
him his lake was leaking and even IL
zero weather should come this winter the
Ice crop would be small and prices
would have to advance next summer.
Ferguson lives on the Rockefeller es-
tate. but Mr.. Rockefeller does not con-
troll his business.
Last summer Ferguson's lake started
to steal away and the superintendent
wrote Mr.. Rockefeller in Cleveland that
a new dam was needed: Mr.. Rockefeller

a dam Ferguson wants, but do anything
to stand in with the iceman."

MONEY FOR MILEAGE
TO PAY OFF DEBTS
Congress Is much Malign-
ed" Declares Morrison.

Representative Martin A Morrison, Of
Indiana, i'm an address yesterday after
noon before a gathering OF men at the
Y. NJ. C. A, declared Congress is much
maligned and misunderstood"
He said that he had no message so
far as Congress was concerned beyond
the fact that its members voted them
selves the whole mileage to go home and
come back from their holidays, but that
there were quite a number who remained
in Washington and who probably applied
some of the money to pay their debts.
The Indiana statesman had no kindly
word for trust and monopoIies, and said
that the Senate investigation OF the lead
interests, although claiming not 10 make
any money. disclosed the fact that they
were simply coming money out of the
by-products and that the same applied
to the beef trust and all other monopo-
lies
