Captain John Becklund of the ill- fated schooner Transit reports that on September 1st the Alaskan was frozen in five miles from Point Bar TOW. She left a sheltered lagoon and tried to break through the ice but was unable to do so.
 The Mary Sachs had been able to get farther to the east. S'B was, however, also frozen in on the first. The Sachs had Leffingwell, the Arc tic explorer on board.
 The Anna and Olga, Polar Bear and the North Star were all fro2- en in one hundred and fifty to one hundred and seventy miles east of Point Barrow.
 Three native whale boats arriv- ing from the east reported sight ing three vessels in a group at the mouth of a river whose name they did not know.
 The Elvira and Belyedere and KaI luck are all east of Point Barrow but have not been sighted.
 The ice on September 1st was very heavy on the shore east of Point Barrow. But it is possible that the wind which has been blow ing from the southeast has opened the ice so that there is now clear water up to Barrow, but it is i'm possible to tell how much the ice on the south shore is influenced.

The game, first of a series of eXhi- bition contests to be held predatory to the challenge game that will be played later in the season with the Whitehorse basketball enthusiasts, was well attended. Society was out in force and the fair sex predomin- ated among the spectators. Brilliant individual play was the feature of the contest. At the end of the first half neither side had any decided advantage, the score standing to 8 in favor of the Climbers" Dur ing the first few minutes play of the second half, however, the Has beens" forged ahead, Kossuth throw ing several goals in quick success sion, and this lead was increased steadily until the finish.

ACTION TAKEN TO
STOP WASH SALES
Governors of Stock Exchange
Adopt Drastic Resolution.
Prohibiting Practice.
NEW RULE IS VERY BROAD
Believed That II Will Prevent
Further Manipulation
OF Market.

New fork. February THE New
York Stock Exchange this afternoon
adopted a stringent resolution against
wash sales" This action followed
closely the introduction in the Sta:e
Legislature Of the bills recommending
Stock Exchange reforms as outlined
in the Governors recent message.
The Board of Governors OF the ex-
change adopted the following 3eso-
Iutions:
"No members Of the Stock Exchange
or anybody connected vita a Stock
Exchange firm shall give. or with
knowledge, execute orders for the pur-
chase or sale Of securities which in
yolve no change in ownership"
Punishment for this Offense is already
set forth In the constitution of the
exchange under the head OF "fctiti-
GUS transactions" Any violation OF
the rule mars a member liable 70
suspension for a period not exceeding
one year.
Rule IL Broader.
The rule as now adopted is broader
in that Il applies not only TO mem
Der of the Exchange. but TO any one
connected with a Stock Exchange firm.
J. 3. Mabon, president Of the Ex-
change. said Of the action OF the gov
ernors:
This resolution has been framed.
after much consideration. in the belief
and expectation that X will be effica-
cious in preventing manipulation. The
object Of the rule as IS apparent from
it's language. is to prohibit the giving
of orders which will not result in
change OF ownership. or the execution
Of such orders BY brokers with knowi-
edge Of the fact that there Will be no
such change. II is proposed 10 take
further action on other matters"
Various committees Of the Exchange
are still at work upon rules 10 pre-
vent operations and transactions which
have been criticized. The conclusions
OF the committees. President Mabon
said. are 10 be submitted TO the gov
ernors from time to time
The resolution adopted to-day hits
more directly at the subject which has
occupied public attention ever since
the agitation against alleged exchange
abuses began. 1t deals specifically
with some of the evils pointed out in
the report OF the Hughes commission
several years ago.
No Comment on Bills.
Officials of the exchange declined TO
comment on the bills introduced at AL
bany, one OF which bore directly on
the resolution adopted at to-days
meeting Of the governors
Referring TO these bills. NJ E De
Aguero, president of the Consolidated
Stock Exchange, said:
Most of the practices complained
of, namely. having any connection with
bucket shops; second trading against
customers orders; third. wash sales;
fourth, accepting money from clients
ordering business while in an insol-
vent condition. are strictly prohibited
by the constitution and bylaws of the
Consolidated Stock Exchange. and the
penalty is expulsion for obvious fraud
or false pretenses. which penalty has
been invariably enforced"
The Stock Exchange resolution was
adopted unanimously and takes effect
at once.
