Committee Decides to Set No Definite Sum-Will Try
 For Large Donation.

At a meeting at the home of Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., last evening, Coy. Riggs, Chairman for the Territorial Organization for European Relief. George T. Jackson, Chairman for the First District, and the Advisory Com mittee recently appointed by Gov. Riggs to aid in the campaign, it was decided not to set any definite sum as quota for Alaska but to ask Aiaskans to subscribe as much as possible. feeling sure that the appeals for aid for the starving children woull not be made in vain.
 The Advisory Committee approved of the organization as heretofore out lined in The Empire. Each member of the committee is to ask that the organizations of which he is repre- sentative, get behind the efforts of the District and Local chairmen and aid in making the drive a success. The Committee is composed of B. M. Behrends, for the Red Cross; Char les Goldstein, Jewish Relief; Rev. J.. IT. Condit for the Federal Council If Churches; Martin Lavenik, Knights of Columbus; Capt. J. P. Walker, American Legion; L. D. Hen derson, Schools; John Beck, business mems organizations; Mrs Josephine Valentine, womens' organizations; L.. L. Harding, fraternal organizations.
 "All members present last evening were unanimous in the opinion that this drive is the most important that has come up to Alaskans during the past two years" said Gov. Riggs, and one that must be supported liberally." It was brought out, ne said, that the communities to be helped must furnish $2 in labor and transportation for every dollar dona- ted by America. Tt is particularly desired" continued the Governor, go have as great number of subscrlb- CTS as possible irrespective of the amounts subscribed. Even % cents will support a child for one week

TWO CRIMINALLY
 INSANE ESCAPE.
 AT MORNINCSiDE
Judge Brown Urges Designa- ton of New Asylum St.
 Elizabeth's S Proposed.

Following the escape of one mur- derously insane and one dangerously and crminally insane person from fMcrningside Sanitarium where they had been committed from the Third Division, Judge Fred M. Brown, of the U. s. District Court for this Division, has appealed to Secretary of Interior John. Barton Payne to designate some other asylum for the care of Alaska's criminally insane and requests Gov. Thomas Riggs to support his recommendation. Gov. Riggs stated this morning that this matter had been taken up with the Department of Interior long ago by his office and the Secretary is with out power to make the change.
 There is no question about the necessity for designating another sanitarium for the criminally insane of the Territory" said Gov. Riggs. At Morningside there are no facil- .ities for incarceration for such per sons and many of them frequently escape. have repeatedly 'ercom- mended that legislation be enacted to cover the situation but up to the present time none has been passed.
 At the last session." he contin- ued, Representative Albert Johnson of Washington, introduced a bill pro viding for the confinement of Ali aska's criminally insane at St. Eliza beth's. near Washington. D. C., but no action was taken. I was recently informed by MT. Johnson that the bill is now in a favorable position for passage and hope it will soon be- come law"
 Judge Brown advised that Woltcr Stroecker. committed to Morningside from Valdez after being acquitted on a charge of murder by reason of be- ing adjudged insane, and Peter Ken evera, committed aS dangerously and criminally insane for dynamite charge in the Kennecott Copper Com pany's mines at Latouche, escaped from the sanitarium almost immedi- ately after being received there. As fas as is known, both men are still at large.

CRAIG WILL PAY
70 P. c. PAY BOOST;
SPURNS AYLAN VETO


Mayor vetoes or the Board of Esti-
mate and ApportiOnment disapproves
the authorization OF the $4,000
special revenue bonds, will make no
difference whatever in the payment
OF these increased rates. The Comp
troller has ample power which will
be exercised under the circumstances,
to raise all moneys required to meet
such a situation.
Pay checks are made out by the
use OF metal plates containing the
name and compensation Of each en-
ployee. 1t takes several weeks to
manufacture such plates. Some time
ago l gave orders for the prepara-
ton of the new plates in accordance
with the increase provided and these
will be ready 20 pay the increases
when due. If new plates had TO be
prepared no increase could be paid
until October or later"
Even IL the Hylan majority in the
Estimate Board and the Democratic
majority in the Board of Aldermen
should decide upon a new salary
schedule and refuse to authorize the
SO, O00, 900 bonds for the present 20
per cent. plan, Comptroller Craig will
proceed TO pay every nat 20 per cent,
payroll presented TO him. He says he
is bound by law TO do this and added
that city employees who are included
n the 20 per cent. plan may bring
suit against the city II the Board OF
Estimate and the Board OF Aldermen
fail to do what they are officially
committed 10 do. So far as the Fin
ance Department is concerned the
| payroHs will be made out on the mai
20 per cent. increase basis.
| Among those who are opposing the
Mayor. some OF them Tammany office
holders there are rumors that II the
Mayor did not know beforehand thai
his veto would be overthrown, at leas
some Of those with whom he con
suited must have known that he wal
powerless to upset joint actions OF TIT
two boards, 1t is recalled that VIII
lam 7. Collins, Democratic leader o
the Board of Aldermen, and Frank A
Cunningham, lieutenant of John II
McCooey, Democratic leader o
Brooklyn and Chairman OF tn
FINANCE Committee OF the Board o
Aldermen, conferred with Mayor Hy
Ian last Friday on the question OF tn
veto II wasn't long after this tall
that the Mayor decided 20 oppose tn

food was solely bread, of which there
was not more than $4,000 pounds.
The city has been full OF Polish

them had been stranded for lack OF
food after being called 70 the colors
in the new mobilization. and made
their way to Biolostok in the hope
Of obtaining supplies.
When the Americans left, the Polish
military still had hopes of retaining
the city and were prepared to make
a stand. but the Soviet forces were
making repeated attacks on both
sides Of the town. which is about
100 miles from Warsaw.

WALL STREET

There was a renewal OF heavy SELL
ing pressure in the stock market this
morning and prices showed further
sharp declines.
The pronounced break In the
market In the last hour yesterday
resulted IN commission houses send
ing out many calls for additional
margins. and II was said this morn
ing that in only comparatively few
instances were the demands met
Weakness this morning was due TO
. the throwing out OF weakly mar
gined accounts by brokerage houses
and to the resumption Of aggressive
bear operations by big operators. At
the same time II was apparent that
rial liquidation was making itself
felt
Leading industrial issues that re-
corded losses ranging all the way
from 70 points yesterday receded
an additional or 3 points. In iso-
lated cases attempts were made by
pools TO support their favorites. but
power was lacking.
United States steel fell TO within
a small fraction OF 81, while motor
oil, and equipment issues were
steadily pressed Tor sale. In com
parison with the industrial. list the
rails were fairy steady, but the re-
port that the freight increase might
be announced before the opening Of
business tomorrow was without APP
preciable beneficial effect. Neither
did traders heed the semi official
rmnor that the steel statement OF
earnings 20 be made public after the
close o-day would make a surpris-
ingly favorable showing.
Financial pcsSimsm generated by
the credit situation Is being fully re-
Elected In the grain and provision
markets. Coffee to-day broke so points
and Is now at the lowest level in
months. Wheat lost an additional I
cents per bushel AND shows a loss
Of 81 cents per bushel for the last
three weeks. A month ago corn was
bong traded In above S1.72 cents per
bushel. To-day Il was at $l.26.
Similarly oats have fallen from $l.05
to 40 IL cents per bushel within
the last month. Also, December cot
ton which sold at 1906 cents per
pound a month ago, Is now at 1880
cents per pound, decline of $l7.25 for
each 500-pound bale.
During the last hour money dropped
to s per cent. and this Induced more
or less short coverings. However, II
was noticeable that the most support
was given to those issues which re-
\ Gently had been subjected to bullish
manipulation on the part OF pools.
Standard stocks, including both the
rails and industrials, continued to
maintain a heavy tone and closed
with net recessions Tor the day
Cotton showed a much better tone
in late trading and closed with az
Advance ranging from 20 TO 40 points.
