dun of the voters money appropriated
for specific transit purposes.

tor, came here today with letter to
the Governor, and interviewed Senator
Penrose, Senator Crow and Senator

HUSBAND GETS THIRTY DAYS
Wife Charges He Beat Her and
Went Out With Another Woman

She got me when I was young"
George Price made the declaration in
mournful tones as he glsred at his wife
in the Germantown police station. Price
is twenty years old. He asserted his
wife's age was double his. The couple
live at $3.50 Baynton street.
Prior to their meeting in the station
it appears that Mr.. and Mrs. Price had
experienced a strenuous evening. Mrs.
Price said she saw George with another
woman, and when she asked questions
he and the woman left her. She would
not have cared so much, she said, but
George returned home, beat her and
locked her in closet, she asserted.
"A little vacation will do you good -
said Magistrate Pennock, addressing
Price. "You can rest for thirty DAYS
at Holmesburg on the Delaware"

Japan has definitely abandoned her
fight for a racial equality clause IN
the league of nations covenant in the
greater interests of her Asiatfc pro-
e,,se..rl, in THE opinion of well-in-
formed diplomats in Washington,
Rcr,.n Maxine, it is said, saw that

aspirations would be created if the
japanese delegates sought to delay
The Peace Conference proceedings on
the eve of the German meeting.
Inststence ON her racial clause
might have forced her to break with
the conference. Her position in tins
respect is more complicated than the
Italians, It is pointed out, because
Japan made war directly ON Germany,
now holds captured German territory
and must have representation at the

The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has inaugu- rated an extensive campaign in ia vor of larger appropriations and greater activity in safeguarding the Alaska coast from Urecks. Large aliases and maps, showing the posi- tions of 100 wrecks,s involving loss of $19,000,O00 worth of property ana hundreds of lives, have been pre- pared and sent to Senator Wesley L. Jones and Delegate Wickersham, and letters have been sent to all Senators and Representatives, simi lar to the following, fixed by J. l.. McPherson, Manager of the Bureau;
 "The loss of 331 lives in the wreck of the Princess Sophia, Oct. 20, 1918, again emphasizes the deplorable lack of aids to navigation and coast sur veys in Alaskan waters.
 'The great value of Alaska com merce. which last year totaled S127,- 900 900, carried by 4O30 vessel trips, justifies the necessary expense to 
 make these waters safe to naviga tion. Under a constructive policy, which will make for the rational de velopment of Alaska. this commerce will advance to figures of which no approximation can be made. ''The loss of vessels and cargo, oi which we now have record, exceeds in value s19.OOO.O00.. Under separate cover we are sending you maps we have prepared. which graphically shows the extent of these disas ters.
