ON LONG WINTER
 TRIP TO VIEW ROAD NEEDS

Major John c. Gotwals, engineer officer of the Alaska Road commis- sion, who arrived in Nenana on Sat urday, has come to Alaska direct from the national capital to make winter trip through the Interior districts for the purpose of gather ing first-hand information relative to wagon road and trail needs. He will leave for the Kuskokwim dis trict tomorrow with Leonard Sep pala, of Nome dog racing fame, and, upon his return to this dis trict in February, by way of Rainy Pass, will go into the Kantishna for look over that section of the In- terior. After the opening of navi- gation he will be joined by Col. Steese, chairman of the commission, and together they will make sum mer inspection of Interior districts, going first into the Kuskokwim, where the commission has a road project under way between Ophir and Tacotna. Col. Steese will come down the Yukon on one of the first boats.
 Both Major Gotwals and the chairman went to Washington dur ing the early winter to further the commissions new and comprehens.
 i've road program for Alaska, in. volving the expenditure of million dollars year for period of years They were successful in getting recognition in the estimates, which is about as far as they can go. Tc get Congress to appropriate tho sum requested. Major Gotwals says is a matter that depends largel! upon the action of Alaskans them selves. The solid backing of the ter l ritory, he says, will help lot te put the program over.
 One of Major Gotwals' reason. for making the present trip is fol the purpose of obtaining first-hane knowledge of snow and weather
 conditions throughout the region 1T which the commission is building roads and planning their construc tion. The program is large one and, if carried out, will result in s network of roads and trails tha, will open the country to the fullest possible development
 Major Gotways was accompanied from the coast by Anton Eide, who has charge of road-building activ- ities in the Anchorage district. They are guests at the Cooney hotel.

SURRENDERS TO-DAY
IN BRONX SHOOTING
William j. Fallon, Lawyer.
Saws He Will Produce Mrs.
Hazel Warner.

Some OF tho mystery surrounding the
disappearance Of Mrs. Hazel D. Warner
and her cousin. Miss Alice Lila Wiley,
since Sunday morning. when John H.
Reid was shot several times in Mrs
Warmers home at 1892 University ave-
nue., The Bronx, WAS cleared up yester-
day, leaving what seemed TO be an even
deeper mystery behind.
That the women are in or close to
the city became certain when William
j. Fallon telephoned Assistant District
Attorney Oliver he was prepared to sur
could be made for admitting her to rea-
sonable bail. Mr.. Oliver made no prom
ises. but after consultation with County
Judge Gibbs replied that the bail de-
rnanded would not be excessive in the
case of Mrs. Warner.
Then Fallon, who now holds the cham
pionship title as the greatest surrenderer
OF persons wanted by the police ever
known in this town. said ne would bring
Mrs. Warner to Mr.. divers office in
L
patiently till O'Clock and then another
message came over the telephone, to the
effect that Mrs. Warner was still too
indisposed" to appear yesterday, and
that Il would be impossible TO produce
her before this morning.
Fallon, from intimations he made yes
terday, probably viii arrange also to-
day for the production and bail OF

he granted her divorce from Gabriel
Feldman. former soldier, whom she
married April u, 1919

letter continued. II am willing to ad-
NIT that both my husband and myself

tirely unknown to my witness or

"A mutual friend OF Mr. Feldman

husband in the Hotel Theresa pre-
fer not TO mention her name. I called
on my witness. Mr.. Rose, and told him
some one telephoned me my husband

Mr.. Gladstone was directed to confer
with his client then consult with JUS
tice Tierney regarding steps to preserve
the courts dignity and punish the adj
