NEW YORK, Jan 21.- Charging that Hcmsts International News Service gets the news which makes up it's daily reports, and especially important foreign news, in large part by bribing and corrupting employees of its members, the Associated Press has filed suit in the United States district court here, asking for a per mancnt injunction against the Inter- national Service, to prevent such practices.
 According to the affidavit of Mel vile E. Stone, general manager of the Associated Press, employees of the Cleveland News were the principal agents in telephoning the A. P. dis patches to the Hearst bureau.
 Telegraph editors on other news papers having A. r. service are a.

FREIGHTING IN SUPPLIES FOR THE
 MATANUSKA AND MAIN LINE WORK

ANCHORAGE. - The Matanuska river above Kings river iS now frozen sufficiently to permit freight, for building the last IA miles of the branch railroad to the heart of the coal fields, to be hauled by four-hOrse bobsIeds all the way to Chickaloon.
 The work of retracing the located line, together with making the neceS- sary revisions, is nearly completed and will be finished by the end of next week.
 The freight teams have supplied the entire line to a point nearly two miles above Hole-in-the-Wall with all the 20 pound rails that will be re- quired to complete the work to that point. The greater part of the pow der required for that stretch has also been distributed and cached in the various StatiOnmen'S powder houses. Each station contractor in the Mata- nuska District is required to build a powder house of sufficient dimensions to hold all the explosives required for his particular piece ot work. The re- quisite amount of powder iS then placed in the powder house, and the station gang is charged for such pow der as the timekeeper's monthly in- ventory shows to have been used dur ing the period. The timekeeper and the head stationman are the only per sons holding keys to the powder house.
 The contractors between Kings riy- CT and Camp ? have finished clearing the right of way and are now at work drilling.
 The entire branch line east of Kings river will be covered by con tract, with the exception of the fol- lowing areas: Station 494 to 5Sl; IT to 3O5; and lOl to Ills, These three sections will not be let until spring, at which time they can be hardled to best advantage.
 The telephone department has in- stalled telephones at all the camps as far as Camp $6, and within few days will have completed the tele- phone line to the proposed terminal at O'Brien's cabin at ChickaIoon.
 Main Line
 The freighting of supplies along the main line is going ahead in satiS- factory manner, and the rails, cars and other construction material and supplies are being distributed rapidly as far north of the Little Susitna Riv- CT as Willow creek. When the section south of Willow creek has been com pletely stocked the caching of ma terial and supplies will continue as far north as KaShwitna river. It is planned to finish this latter work be- fore the breakup in the Spring.
 The camp at Willow creek is nearly completed, and construction of a camp at point midway between Little Willow Creek and Kashwitna river will be commenced within the very near future.
 The piledriver crew has finished the driving and the greater part of the decking of all treStleS and openings as far north as Station 592O.
 Three contracts south of the Little SuSitna River remain uncompleted but will be finished during the month of January.
 A clearing contract has been let covering the section from station 7OO4

Insurinq the Apple Crop.

Of late years scientific attempts
have been made to insure the apple
crop. Formerly apple growing WAS u
Sorl Of gamble. Perhaps Jack Frost
might slip down from the hills into IN
some spring night. when the
trccS. Ncrc in bloom, and with II TOW
of his iEN. fingers, blast IN" entire
crop. Even III" ! :2sScd ur Inc oppor-
tunity of freezing the incipi"nt crop
the worms and bugs and various dis
eases got in their work. All the way
through apple growing was more az
less Of II gamble. Not SO today. The
apple producer provides himself with
snudge pots filed with oil, and when
the temperature drops TO the frrcz-
ing point In spring time the grower
lights the heaters and maintains SAT"
temperature. Then at the proper time
he goes forth with spraying ap-
paratuS and wards OF the danger and
damage of myriad host Of creeping.
crawling, flying singing insects and
some tree diseases aS well.

Music Language Of Soul.

The meaning Of music goes deep. II
is the universal language of the soul.
Where speech fails, song is only be.
ginning. Music can make mems hearts
as steel in the face Of battle, when

and trampled into the earth, or 1t cnn
melt these same hearts TO tender love
and make them treInble at u sweet

During the last week the ease Of
the local market has been so pro
nounced that a number of banks
have found it more profitable to en-
ploy their balances abroad. So they
have transferred large amounts to
London and are buying short term
investments Of high liquidity. The
ebb and flow of banking funds be-
tween New York and London has
been one of the interesting features
of the international money market
in the last year. At times New York
bankers have maintained balances in
London of S25O,OOO,OOO. With the
periodical return of new German
crises" there have been Withdrawals
to this side. But with the largest
crisis of them all at hand, the last
week has seen the banks actually
sending money to London. Which
is only one more evidence of the con-
fidence of the banking community.
