HOUSE ARRAICNED. FOR REJECTION OF.
 FISH TARIFF PLEA
Ketchikan Chronicle Asserts Nothing of Good Accom-
 plished Can Ofet Damage.
Special to the Empire.

KETCHIKAN, AlasKa, May 1. - Arragning the Territorial House ol Representatives for defeat of Senate Memorial No. 9, introduced by Sen ator Hunt of Ketchikan, asking Congress to place tariff on fresh and frozen fish, the Ketchikan Chron- icle will say editorially this after noon under the caption, The Fish Tariff as follows:
 Nothing of good that the Legis- lature of Alaska has accomplished at the present session can offset the damage done by the action of the House of Representatives in select ing the Memoial asking Congress to place a tariff on fresh and frozen fish. The action was so short sighted that it is staggering to those who contemplate the future of Alaska.
 Tt was upon the old theory that tC place a tariff on fish would be to deprive the fishermen of Alaska of the competitive market of Prince Rupetr, that the Memorial was voted under This doctrine is absolutely fallacious, yet because Ketchikan, Alaska's greatest fishing center, is not represented in the lower house il had no champion there to put the matter in it's true light
 First, it is amazing that a Legis- lature preponderantly Republican ,shoud oppose protective tariff, the very doctrine that has made the party great, in the opinion of the great majority of members of that party.
 Second, it would net deprive the fishermen of the competitive market at all, if the Legislators were but informed. Several years ago when Congress was expected to place a tariff on fish, even with a Democratic membership, the big buyers at Prince Rupert planned on moving their headquarters to Ketchikan and Juneau, thereby keeping alive exactly the same competition that now ex- ists.
 Third, every protective tariff is expected to keep out foreign com petition-that is the very idea-and build up the competition at home.
 And furthermore. if a fisherman is to catch his fish in Alaskan waters sell them in foreign market, buy his supplies in a foreign port, and start out again for the American fisheries, what on earth good is he to Alaska anyway. AS Canadian, he may be a first-class citizen, but he does no good for America or Alaska True, it may be said that after he sells he comes back to American ports with some of his money, but the portion is small, especially under the present circum- stances. with the rate of exchange as it is.
 From February 9 to March 25 this year Prince Rupert received one million six hundred eighty thous- and pounds of halibut all caught in Alaska waters. Alaska received six

In that pressing work, MT. Clark took active share up to little more than 10 days ago, as Democratic leader until a cold struck him down to be- come victim to the infirmities of his seventy years of driving life. His death threw a shadow over every face in the chamber when Representative Fucker of Missouri, arose to announce it, voice choked with emotion. It was a halting, brief eulogy he announced. but he drew from members signs of sorrow more eloquent than words to tell of the place the dead leader held in their affection and respect. The formal motion for a half hour ad- journment was made by Representa- tive Mondell Republican leader.
 Mir. Clark would have been T years old, had he lived until Monday, but his 26 years in the house would have ended Friday, for he was defeated for re- election.
 In the subdued talk while the house paused, friends scorned the suggestion that the stout heart of the Missourian had been shaken by political defeat That he had foreseen, they said. It was more personal matter that had broken his spirit, they insisted, the death year ago of his idolized three year-old grandson and namesake Champ Clark Thomson.
 Since that blow. it was said. MT Clark's colleagues had noted waning of his keen interest in public affairs and a little droop to the massive shoulders.
 There was one thing upon which al were agreed. that MT. Clark had die6 as he wished, in the harness. He ha6 planned retirement to Bowling Green Mo, after March 1, but the end found 1 him still serving his country. Ina

Fl, PASO, Texas, March 2.-Ernest Walker. federal prohibition agent, was shot and it is feared mortally wound ed in & daylight battle with Mexican liuuor smugglers at a point near the Mexican boundary here today.
 Firing continued for upward or two hours and only ceased when Mexican officials crossed the line and lodged a formal protest So far as is known Walker was the only man hurt
 The scene of the shooting is known as "the island" where the Rio Grande river dips south of the international boundary for about two miles. snug .rlers long have been accustomed to ford the river with their liquor, cache if on the island and await favorable opportunity of bringing 1t across the border. which in this section is marked by monuments half a mile apart
 For months smugglers and federal officers have engaged in almost nightly battles at this point and not lntre quently Mexicans are reported Killed or wounded. It is usually impossible to verify .hese reports as the snug glers carry off their dead and wounded
 Walker. who is wounded in the aooo- men, is in a hospital. Surgeons say his chances of recovery are slight

Opposition Certain Naval Budget Bill Is Doomed In Congress
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Obstacles multiplied against the $496,000,000 na- val budget today and the senate held another long night session.
 Predictions were widespread that the struggle would continue up to the final gavel Friday. Opposition leaders declared the bill would die and several of it's prominent supporters concurred. Others held hope that it might yet be passed, but saw little prospect.
 The bill met numerous delays today. Meeting at II a. m.. the senate laid aside the bill for five hours, giving way to conference reports and other busi- ness and it was 5 o'clock before real work was begun. Senator Poindexter, Republican, Washington. in charge again declared he would hold the sen ate in session until Friday if neces- sary.
 Numerous negotiations toward con- promising the controversy over the S100, ,O00, 900 added by the senate naval committee were had. Among overtures was a proposal for elimination of item for the Alameda, Cal, naval base and other new Pacific coast projects and also for reduction of aviation and maintenance appropriations, an hours delay was forced by advocates of the soldier bonus legislation, who sought to get the bonus bill before the senate A point of order by Senator Jones' Democrat, New Mexico, that the navy bill was irregularly before the senate was sustained.
 To meet technical parliamentary re- quirements, Senator PoindeXter was forced to lay the naval bill temporarily aside and have the senate adjourn 1( minutes. Then came the delay incl dent to a new session .. pres entation of bills, committee reports anG other business.
 Opponents even forced reading o1 the journal. Senator Borah. Repub- lican, Idaho, insisted on reading of thu minutes and it was an hour before Sen

HOUSE RECEIVES FINAL REPORT UT SHIPPING BOARD
 18 MONTH PROBE
rp.,ublIcan A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON March 2.-Adm1nls- +ration of the governments merchant fleet by one executive, instead or py seven member board is recommended by the Walsh committed Whlch re- ported today to the house on US eighteen months investigation or the operations of the shipping board. Ihe report reviewed the ship building ac- tivities of the government with the conclusion that considering the pro- gram as a whole the accomplishments, in the number of ships constructed. the tonnage secured and the time within which ships were complete, constitute the most remarKaple achievement in ship building that the world has ever Seen.
 The committee declared it had found no evidence to prove dishonest or l fraudulent motives actuated any mem Der of the shipping board or any Of l the trustees of the emergency fleet corporation.
 There has been waste and in 1 efficiency and lack of CO., coordination in 1 the tremendous operations or tnls agency" the report continued. The reason or Justification given for this IS the stress under the war emergency.
 Tt is apparent, however. from the testimony, that in the desire to speed ! up and accomplish results without l counting costs, IfllSloNCS CA JNNSAiiSAiN' lack of supervision and a failure to give careful consideration resulted in delays.
 'It must be remembered that the shipping board was confronted with many difficulties. The problem was gigantic. It involved an expenditure of more than three and half billion dollars.
 Many of the officials and board
 members were without experience in shin building Or operation. A complete organization had to be created. There
 was a shortage of shipbuildtng skill as well as shipbuilding facilities. The
 need for ships was imperative and con- l stantly increased
 l "Of necessity under these conditions
 and when time was the very essence of the problem, waste and extrava-
 gance resulted"
 The report mentioned charges made 7 that an effort had been made to collect = s26 1000 from the government for tht I personal expenses of Charles M n Schwab while director of the erner-
 eency fleet corporations operation,
 and that R. w. Boiling, brother-in
 low of President Wilson, had beer Q irregular in his conduct as treasure e of the shipping board. Both had pre- ! viousIy been eXonerated by the com
 mittee. which, however took occasion
 to reiterate that the charge, involvin. 1 MT. Schwab has not been proven an, l is not true,' and that MT Boiling hat 1 not been guilty of any wrong doing I The committee was of the opinion | that a single executive should be pu
 in charge. at least until disposal of tn l governments merchant fleet had beel | accomplished. American ship opera
 tors are handicapped by existing re T. quirements. the report said.

Germany Will Hear
 Allies Decision On
 Preparations Today
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WIre1

LONDON, March 2. - Germans to- morrow will hear the unanimous deci- sion of the allied powers on the counter proposals which Dr. Simons, German foreign secretary presented yesterday at the reparations conference, and the consequences which will follow their failure to comply with allied terms.
 There is little doubt as to the nature of the reply, for in statement tonight the counter proposals are described as meriting neither examination nor dis cussion." Details of what steps will be taken to enforce the demands are withheld. it being considered only an act of courtesy to let the Germans hear them before they are published. But it Is learned that the British pre- 1dier has been won over to the French view.
 MT. Lloyd George consented today to the employment of armed forces against Germany. in the event of her non- compliance, to the extent of the occupation of the Mannheim by French and Belgian troops and also of the Ruhr ports on the Rhine.
 There may possibly also be a block ade of German ports.
 The reply is described in some cir cles as being in the nature of an ultt- matum The seriousness of the step being taken may be judged by the long and earnest consideration the allies gave 1t. Premier 6rldnu oI Trance favors immediate action, while the British and Italians have advised against precipitate movements. After a long conference on the proposed eco- homie and military measures, in which Marshal Foch, Field Marshal Wilson and Italian and Belgian experts par ticipated, a unanimous decision was reached.
 ! The Germans were Respondent to- night when their hopes that differences u,igbt arise between the allies to tight en their country's burden were dashed bv the finding of the conference. One of them remarked:
 well. perhaps that is the only way ont If Briand yielded, his government would fall; if we yielded our govern ment would fall.
