DIFFICULTY IN GETTING
JURY AT WILLIAM SON

In Circuit Court at Williamson all
efforts 80 far have failed to get enough
lurymen to try the Matewan murder
cases. Hundreds Of men have been ex-
amined during the last six or seven
days. Most OF them are akin to some
of the 26 accused. men. 1t is evident
also that nobody in Mingo county
wants the job OF serving on that jury.
II win probably be necessary to go out !
side the county to get jurymen.
There was talk OF summonlng wo-
men, but the Attorney General ruled
that women are not eligible.

PUBLISHES BOOKLET
 OF ALASKA NUGGETS

The Times is in receipt of an au- thor's copy of a book of Alaska poems, entitled Alaska Nuggets" written by Frank B. Camp of Anchorage. The contents of the volume. consisting of thirty-thTce poems. have been dedicat- ed by the author, who is an old time Alaskan. to the men and women pio- neers of the Territory.
 Mir Camp knows his Alaska and his people, and has yiyidly and in pie turcsque and beautiful language DOT trayed in musical prose. some of their chief characteristics. It is hard to single any one of these poems out for particular mention However, to III true lovers of Alaska they will appeal n3 Jo those nho have mu-hrU tra r".l.

Governor Bone Makes Strong Recommendation Consolidating
 All Bureaus In Alaska

If EOvernment-operatcd steamship lines served to put established com panies out of business, which natural ly would happen since the aggregate of Alaska's tonnage Is today not of vast magnitude, it is conceivable that the proposed remedy would fail to effect cure and, in the end, might make the situation worse. Certainly govern. ment operated railroads during and after the war did not result in reduced rates or improved service. Quite the contrary. The thought of high-knot- ted, drectgoing steamships, plying ing betwen westward Alaskan ports and Seattle and San Francisco - q Twentieth Century line--is possible of ultimate realization, but manifestly cannot be realized until tonnage has been created by tho davc'orm"ot o' the Territory.
 Unless Congress is ready to sane tion and embark upon a policy of un- limited patcrnalism for Alaska and prepared to pay the bills, the Gov ornmont may well keep out of the steamship business at least until pri. yatr capital and individual enterprise have demonstrated concmsiyrly their inability, under proper regulation and control. to giv" the rates and service which Alaska requires and must hayr in order to grow and prosper.
 The pending measure for the consol- td1lion of Government Bureaus. oper- at.ug in Alaska, under one depart mental head at Washington and the concentration of authority and rcspon, sibility authorizes the use of United States Shipping Board vessels, in the Presidents discretion, to meet Alas ka's needs. This Is wise and pru. det authorization and it should and doubtless will hasten the solution of Alaska's transportation problems. That there has been no solution to date, with attendant relief, is due plainly to the chaotic and scattering system of government under which the Territory has been repressed and compelled wearily to mark time and wait
 The Postoffice Department is not functioning and cannot function fully or satisfactorily in Alaska under ex- isting transportation conditions. Fa- cilities are lacking to provide any thing like an adequate service to towns on the coast and To commupi- ties in the interior More liberal mail subsidies will aid in solving the big problem of transportation. 'Of ncccs- sity mail service is costly in Alaska. but the people who are pioneering and aiding in the development of the coun- try are entitled to the best service possible to give them and the Govern ment can well afford to be most liberal in appropriations to extend. improve and maintain the mail service.

The arrival of ship from foreign parts was
hailed with much shouting and running to and

was going on in various towns across the water;
ships were the only available source of informa-

COMPROMISE IS URGED
Untermyer's Refusal to Act
Without Free Rein Has
No Apparent Effect.
CONFERENCE THIS WEEK
Lawyer Objects to MacWhin-

of Housing Committee.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, Feb. ].
Samuel Untermyer has declined to
serve further as counsel to the Lock
wood committee in the investigation
of housing conditions IL the Senate
adopts the amended resolution passed
last week by the Assembly denying to
the committee power to make thor
ough inquiry into insurance COM
panies and savings banks.
In the face of this threat the SEN
ate to-day postponed action for one
week on the pending resolution. Sem
ator Lockwood asked the Senate
leaders to withhold consideration and
arrange another conference between
the committee and Senate in a final
effort to strike some kind of a COM
promise.
Senator Lusk consented TO the post
ponement and consideration Of the
resolution was laid over for one week
Senator Lockwood, Mr.. Untermyer.
Leonard Wallstein and Samuel Ber-
ger, counsel for the committee. will
meet Senator Lusk. Speaker Machold
and the other leaders of the two
houses later in the week.
Little hope is held out that an agree
ment can be reached satisfactory to Mr..
Untermyer and the committee. The
leaders are determined not to grant the
sweeping authority requested. They
consented to the postponement only upon
the urgent request of Senator Lockwood.
II was made clear later that the leaders
had not changed their position and did
not intend making further modification
of their resolution.
Mr.. Untermyer has notified the COM
mittee that he objects to the continued
presence in that body of Assemblyman
Thomas A. MacWhinney as vice-chair-
man. Mr.. MacWhinney changed front
on the demand for an investigation OF
banks and insurance companies after
the Lockwood resolution had been pre-
sented At first Mr.. MacWhinney spon-
sored the resolution. Then lie led the
fight for the amended form. Mr. Mac
Whitney intlmated in explaining his
change of position that Mr.. Cntermyei
was responsible for an attempt which

HARDING MUST PAY
$4,000 SALARY TAX
President-elect Not Exempt
Under the LolU.

viii receive something like $4,000 less
compensation from the Government an
nually than Woodrow Wilson has re-
ceived The Treasury will pay Mr.. Har-
ding the same amount that it pays Mr..
Wilson-S75.000 annually-but Internal
Revenue Bureau officials say that Mr..
Harding must return nearly one-fourth
OF this in income tax
Preside 1t Wilson was exempted from
the income tax under a Supreme Court
ruling because he came into office be-
fore the enactment of the 1918 revenue
laws under which taxes were sought 10
be imposed on the salaries OF the Presi-
dent and of Federal judges The Su-
preme Court held that the tax could not
be collected in the case of incumbents
because of the constitutional inhibition
against the reduction of the salaries Of
the Executive and Federal judges dur
ing their term of office
The Solicitor General has ruled that
the tax could be collected from officials
taking office after the law became effec-
tive because that would not bring about
any reduction in salary during the term
of office.
Revenue Bureau officials say that Mr..
Harding, of course, will be allowed the
usual exemption of $4,000 a year for a
married man and may claim certain
business exemptions Placing his ex-
empton at $4,000 yearly, however. they
figure his normal income at S5.4sO and
surtax at 312,940, a total of $lS,42O.
