PLEA FOR AID
 HOMELESS IN
 BIBLE LANDS

SPOKANE, Dec. 2. - Urgent ap- peals for help in dealing with des- perate want in the Bible lands have been made by the Near East Relief to schools, church, lodges, clubs and labor organizations as we'll as to the public throughout the northwest. Needs of the Near East will be stressed in programs in nearly every city, hamlet and country com munity during the Thanksgiving Christmas period.
 With the recurrence of massacres, which small, lightly equipped forces, detailed by European powers, have failed to stop, the problem of relief among Bible land sufferers has been intensified. Speedy gathering of ade quate funds for housing and feeding children fleeing from murder into the perils of starvation, is declared the only solution.
 Unless we are content to mark down in red, as total loss, much of the great work we have already done in preserving the Near East people for better day, already promised by the world powers it is imperative that our people in general must share just a little from the great lot they have to be thanksful for with these wretched ones who have nothing" Thus de- clares Executive Secretary E. A. Potter, 417 Peyton building Spokane, in a warning to his workers for Near East Relief.
 Thousands of brave men and wo- men, saved from past tragedies and protected by us that they might help form the sturdy foundation of clean and vrile new Christian na- tions, now in the making, have been slaughtered during the last few weeks. Their homes have been plum dered and destroyed and their or phaned children are roaming up and down the country; sleeping without cover or shelter; weepingly hunting for food
 Ut is unthinkable that after all we have done to save them, we must now let these little fellows

PROMISE KEPT
 FOR NEW ROAD
 CHILKAT RIVER

JUNEAU, Dec. 2.-+"On my first trip to Haines last spring, I prom ised the people there a rebuilt road to the Chilkat river and a new bridge across that stream, and it has been done," said Col. J. C. Got walls, engineer officer of the Alaska road commission, when he returned from Haines and Skagway.
 Col. Gotwals during his trip, made an inspection of the road work done on the HainesRainy Hollow project. He reports a first class road has been completed from Haines. a dis tance of 24 miles to Wells where the new bridge has been constructed. The later is a wooden structure, 510 feet in length and replaces the old on which was condemned two years ago by the commission as being unsafe for traffic.
 The completion o1 the bridge, ac- cording to Col. Gotwals, makes avail able fairly good mining road into the Rainy Hollow mining district. making it possible for those inter ested in the development of that dis needed in their exploration work. From Wells to the international boundary, distance of 12 miles, the route lies through the Klehina river valley along the north side of the stream. It coonects with the old Dalton trail, which is still in fairly good shape, and furnishes a road to the mineral belt. It is the purpose of the commission, he said, to make this route to the border the main highway, work to be carried out as occasion demands in order to meet development needs of the district
 The road into the Porcupine will not be abandoned, according to Col Gotwals. The next work to be done on the Haines-Rainy Hollow project, will be the construction of two miles of permanent roadway along the north bank of the Klehina river and bridge across that stream to con- meet with the Porcupine trail, which he said is in good condition until the upper waters are reached. This trail, he said, must be kept open for the miners along that stream and the homesteaders in the district
 Big opportunities are seen by him in the Haines district which includes the upper Chilkat and Klehina val leys. Both of these are uneXcelled in the territory for farming lands, rich soil being in abundance and the climate mild without having the great amount of rainfall common to the coastal regions. In both valleys, he said, there are large quantities of timber the equal of any in Alaska
 The road now being built offers a fine opening for Haines to develop a tourist trade, he declared. It runs back along and into the mountains and the scenery is not surpassed by any in the country. Game also abounds and the route leads into the greatest. paradise for hunters coming north in search of bie game
 He praised the work done by Foreman Mckenzie and his crew of 60 men during the past season. They have built one of Alaskas best roads Col Gotwals made the trip to Wells in Ford making the dis tance of "A miles in one and one half hours.

1t was generally agreed that the fuel

greatest problems with which builders
have to cope. Manufacturers Of lime,
cement and bricks have complained
they are unable to produce these mate
rials in sufficient quantity because Of
the shortage of coal. The traNsporta-

The lime manufacturers pointed out
that their product deteriorates repadly
and cannot be stored and that there

Immediately can be manufactured. The

Talley Denies British
Interest in Earkin Case

Alfred ]. Talley, Assistant District
Attorney, denied yesterday that jane
Larkin, Irish radical, had been con-
victed at the request of the English
government because Of his "alleged
activities in behalf of the Irish cause
in Ireland" Mr. Talley said Larkn s
conviction was due solely to "his
United States government"
On learning that a meeting would
be held this afternoon in the interests
Of Larkin on the Boston Common, Bos~
ton, Mr.. Talley said:
THE suggestion is made that the
meeting is held for raising a defense
fund for Larkin upon the ground that
his conviction was induced by the
English government because of
Larkin's alleged activities in behalf Of
the Irish cause in Ireland.
'Larkin was convicted before Justice
Barlow S. Weeks, in the extraordinary
term of the Supreme Court, in April.
1920, upon the charge of criminal
anarchy, in that he consrired with
others for the overthrow of the United
States government by force, violence
and other unlawful means. His con-
viction was due solely to his utterances
and was in no way even remotely con-
nected with any Irish activities"
After being convicted in April,
Larkin was sentenced by Justice
Weeks to serve from five to ten years
at hard labor at Sing Sing prison.
Last week he was transferred from
Sing Sing to Dannemora prison, the
reason given by the authorities at
Sing Sing being that his mail was so
voluminous that it could not be
handled by them.
