LONDON-(By MaiD According to Controller Hands of the profiteerine department of the government, every effort is to be made to track the British profiteer to his liar. He took as an illustration complaint that might be made against tailor for overcharging fol suit of clothes.
 The tailor" he said, will be oblig- ed to produce his invoices and show what he had to give for the material and for labor. He may contend tina, he is not making an unreasonable profit, and it may be found that he is paying too much for his cloth.
 In that case the central committee, which is able to tell alomst to the fl action of a penny the cost Lhru all stages of manufacture, will see if the cloth is too dear it will be the duty of the committee, in fact, to trace back every price to it's source"

BILLY TAYLOR
 OFF TO STATES

w. R. Billy" Taylor, the well known Kantishna mining man, in company with A. B. Fink, another Kantishna miner, left on yesterday mornings train for Nenana and will proceed from there enroute to the states, making the trip by the way of Broad Pass.
 It is believed that MT. Taylor's trip is in connection with some property in the Kantishna in which he is interested with others and that his visit may mean that those con- cerned may start development work this spring. It is understood that the association have options on some very desirable hydraulic propositions in the Kantishna which it hopes tG operate next summer. MT. Taylor will probably return to the interior in few weeks.

MADRID (P) The Spanish Swindle" has shown it's head again. America has been inundated with letters from "a dying prisoner, per secuted by political enemies, only able to communicate with the out side world thru the kindness of d prison chaplain. The writer Of the letter claims relationship with the person addressed and explains that d valise containing valuables has been concealed outside of Spain, the contents to be left to an only daugh- ter and the American relative.
 Should the American reply, he later receives letter from the chap lain stating that the prisoner is dead and that certain sum is re- quired to release the prisoners bag gage. including the mysterious valise. Fortunately when the correspondence reaches this point the American relative" usually becomes curious and as result the embassy in Madrid and the consulaIes turnout Spain have a flood of correspondence on the subject.
 In other cases, the victim takes the bait without question and parts with his money, or even worse still goes to the expense of travelling to Spain to pay the required sum to release the valise and claim his share of the contents.
 In the latter case the swindler is generally brot to book for the Span ish police are on the lookout and the presence of stranger looking fol lost relatives arouses their suspicious
 Recently an American arrived in Madrid with a certified check to claim his share of prisoners es- tate. The Spanish police put him in prison until he could be convinced that he had been the victim of a clever swindler. It took all the elo- Quence of an American consul to dc this and induce the man to return home.

AMERICA LOSES
 TRADE BY LACK
 REGULAR SHIPS s

PARA, Bra2il.-(P)-There is much speculation locally as to the steam ship service which is to be maintained in the future between the United States and Para, at the mouth of the Amazon river, in view of the activity in development work which has been steadily increasing since the begin- ming of the year, and the increase in exports which will follow as a result. So far the service has been cratic, some weeks three or four steamers leave together for New York, and then there will not be another for a month.
 Americans here are impatient. Speaking of the development of our foreign trade, an importer remarked to the Associated Press correspond ent: "For heavens sake let us stop talking of what we are going to do. and get busy!" This accurately sums up the attitude Of most Americans here. They believe that if the United States is to get her share of the trade of the Amazon valley there is no time to be lost.
 Prior to the war the Booth Steam ship Co.,, of Liverpool, had virtually a monoply of the trade of the valley. During the few years immediately

SCHOOL NEWS
(By Boyd Hering)

On account of the extremely cold weather which has prevailed in Fair banks for the past week. many pupils have been absent. The attendance of the first and second grades has been very poor. only twelve of all the latter grade being present. In writing contest given in the first grade, Ellen Clausen came out ahead again this month and has the desired ten credits.
 Those leading in the penmanship record for this month in the sixth grade are George Buttorovich and Bertha Guis. Those of the fifth grade are Franklin Zimmerman and Jean Bunnell.
 In assembly Monday morning some interesting letters were read from the eighth grade boys attending the different schools for boys in Islington. London. They spoke of their glad ness over the opportunity of corres- bonding with American boys. The British American Fellowship society is responsible for this plan and Is making it possible for the children of the two nations to learn some thing of one another. It is hoped this correspondence between the two eighth grades will continue.
 The entire high school is busily preparing for the semester tests. These examinations will begin on Tuesday of next week and will cov- CT all work from Sept. 15 to the pres ent time. Those having an average of ninety in any subject, with monthly average of 90, also 90 in de pertinent, with no unexcused ab- sences or tardiness do not have to take these tests.
 Beautifully engraved cards of the American Creed have been received from Mir. Henderson, for each room in the school. Similar cards have been sent to all other Alaskan schools thru the courtesy of Behru- ends bank of Juneau.
 Last Saturday a few of the high school pupils went on a sleighing party to MT. Hahn's, who Is assistant superintendent at the government farm. Music was furnished by MT. Young and MT. Lund to which the young people danced. A delicious luncheon was served later and the party arrived home about a. m.

 GUILTY MURDER

EVERETT, Wash. Jan. 4.-R- (Delayed)-Joseph Morton, a local boy fifteen years old. was today found guilty of being implicated in the murder of Lee Linton, taxicab driver on November 19. 1919. The jury fixed the punishment on Morton at life imprisonment in the state penitentiary.
 Another local boy. Isom White, 19 years of age, was tried for the same crime last week and upon conviction was sentenced to hang.

The crime was one of the most brutal in the history of Everett and attracted wide notice on account of the youthfulness of the murderers.

DUOuvEN MEN
 kErLACE SPIES
 lN lHE HAUU1

THE HAGUE -P)-Trade confer ences between bankers, merchants and salesmen of the entente coun- tries and central powers have sue ceeded the mysterious gatherings ol spies in the hotels here and at Am sterdam. The iron, steel, shoes, ships and sealing wax of commerce are the topics instead of the routes of submarines, troop ships and food ships.
 Whatever may be the opinion in America, or England, or France, re- garding resumption of business with Germany and Austria, the represen- tatives of the business concerns of those countries show nothing but a keen desire for such trade at the conferences here.
 The other day, at one of the Hague hotels the groups seated ill the lobby. engaged in earnest con versation on trade subjects, includ- ed:
 One-English ships owner and di- rector of one of Germany's biggest Transatlantic lines;
 Two-Belgian banker and German automobile manufacturer;
 Three-American travelling sales man and Hungarian general importer.
 All of them so far as the cores pondent could judge from the frag- ments of their conversation that came to his ears, were on friendly terms and keen for business.

preceding the war the Germans had been edging in and were steadily growing stronger, but at the outbreak of hostilities these activities ol course ceased. The Geranms who took refuge in the south of Brazil when this country declared war are now beginning to come back to the Amu zon. and are renewing their efforts to gain a substantial foothold With the renewal of business activity since the armistic. the Booth line has not had enough steamers to handle the busi- ness.
 There is now an opportunity for some American steamship company 10 come in here with frst-class ser vice and capture the business the war broke out, as well as fair portion of future business which will develop as the possibilities of this great valley, immensely rich in nat ural resources, become known Since last July the Lamport X Holt company have been sending steamers to Para, but local merchants say the, need permanent and adequate service. The New York & Cuba Mail steam. ship company has announced its in 1 tention of making Para a port call | for its South American steamers. but so far only two have arrived. and there is uncertainty as to the future 1 service. The Prince line is temrorari- l ly making this a port of call for 1 their northbound steamers to New Orleans, and, since this service was announced, the Brazilian Lloyd is said 1 to be considering the opening of a line from Rio de Janeiro to New Or leans, via Havana.
 The steamer Cotopaxi, a United States Shipping Board vessel. is now repaired and will leave shortly. She is loading a cargo of cedar logs The Cotopaxi is Fabricated" ship She was on her way to Pernambuco with coal when she developed engine trouble and pust managed 10 reach the mouth of the Amazon where she ran aground.
 Local Americans are enthusiastic as to the future possibilities of the dc velopment of the Amazon valley. ano are of the opinion that the Unit q ] States should devote attention to q e undeveloped market here for Anne 'i- can goods. as also an ineXhausti J1e source for many valuable raw Iaa- terials needed by manufacturers of the United States. The region W. ter ed by the Amazon and it's thousands of affuents is larger in area thai the United States, and all the produce Of this immense area must pass .hrn 1 Para, as this is the only chaancl of the river which is navigable 'o the ocean. For this reason Para Is known locally as "The Gateway of the Amazon"
 It is earnestly urged here that there should be a regular. frst-class Amerf- can steamship line from New York to this Gateway" maintaining a con sisten schedule, if the United States is to play an important part in the | development of the valley of the Amazon

NUMBERS GIVEN
 FOR DELEGATES
 TO CONVENTION
DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL COMMITTEES WIRE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE NUMBER OF ALASKA DELEGATES.

JUNEAU, Alaska. Jan. 4-(Special to The Citizen) (Delayed) )-Tele- grams received here today by ter ritorial secretary, R. J. Sommers, from democratic and republican na- tional committees say that the demo- crats give Alaska six delegates and six alternates while the republicans give Alaska two delegates to the national conventions of the respective parties Emery Valentine, well known local republican politician. stated today that he will wire his declaration for candidacy to the re- publican convention in order that his name may be placed on the primary election ballots.
 A message received yesterday by Clerk of Court Kelly from Secretary Sommers gives practically the same information as contained in the above despatch received by The Citizen from it's Juneau correspondent. The two republican delegates will be elected at large from the territory according to MT. Sommer's wire. It is probable that one delegate from each of the four judicial divisions and two delegates at large with al- ternates for both will be chosen at i the April primaries by the democrats
 In the past it has been the prac- tice for delegates from Alaska to political national convention of both parties to be chosen by convention The last session of the territorial legislature enacted a law substitut- ing the primary system for the old custom. Chapter 3S, session laws of 1918 cover this subject. the first sec tion of which follows:
 At the primary election to be held in the year 1920 and similarly every 4th year thereafter. the national com- | iAAASNNNAieth ehht oCiO6atSo dA0 dlICl mates to the national conventions oi the different political parties shall be chosen, by direct vote of the cleo tors in the manner prescribed by law for the nomination of candidates for territorial offices.
 Each person seeking to be elected as national committeeman or such delegate or alternate, shall. not less than 50 days before the date of the primary election file with the secre- tary of the territory, a declaration of his candidacy which declaration shall give the name of the political party by whom he desires election, and shall be endorsed by not less than 25 persons who declare that they are duly qualified electors and that they belong to the same political party as the candidate whom they endorse. "
 As far as is known here Emery Valentine, of Juneau, is the only one oG either party who has as yet signi- fled an intention to enter the race for convention delegate. It was re ported along the coast recently that 0. F. Gaustad would also enter the race, but there has been no confirma- ton of this report. The last day for filing, however, is February 26. The date of the primary election is Tuesday. April 27th.
