Passengers and Cattle
All In Same Box Cars
"We saw one Of the trains arrive.
The people were in box cars. Some
times there would be horse in with
them, again some chickens or a couple
of pigs. All were clad in rags and
patches, and now and again, to heighten
the contrast, there was man wearing
a great Russian fur coat, souvenir Of
the days and months in Siberia. But
every family, no matter how poverty
stricken, seemed to possess at least
one big brass samovar.
"A cable came from young Russian
friend in New York asking us to for
ward $50 to her young cousin in Kiev,
a boy of thirteen, whose parents had
died, and who was in starving condi-
tion, 30 the cable said. The Y. M. G..
A. has department that takes care Of
all such requests for refugees, and the
head of this department informed me
that never would be able to send $50
in Soviet rubles to Kiev, that $40 was
probably the greatest amount that
could be bought in Warsaw, and that
meant millions. From their expert
ence, he said 1t would probably take
many months before we could get in
touch with the little fellow.
"A reception was given for us at. the
officers club. Three things impressed
me most. First, the fine type and
bravery of the women, who spoke quite
simply of Nheir part in the defense of
Warsaw, with the Bolsheviki at the
gates, only year ago; second, of their
deep gratitude TO America as repre-
sented by the active organizations
the Y. M. G. A., Y. w. C. A., Red Cross,
Mr.. Hoover's committee and the Friends,
and third, their great magnanimitys in
wishing to take part themselves in the
feeding of the starving hordes across
the border. When one realizes the
history of Poland and the oppression
under which she has suffered from
Russia, one has something to learn

ance that the Government will re-

SEATTLE, May PA Washing
ton special to the Post-Intelligencer
says that Col. E. Lester Jones, of
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, ap-
peared before the house committee
on territories yesterday and took
the position that the proposed de-
velopment board does not strike at
the real trouble in Alaska. He con-
tends that lack of money with which
to enforce existing laws, and to
provide a constructive program for
future development is the real de-.
feet in the present government. He
particularly urged that the fisheries
be not included in the bill for the
reason that such action would SIM
ply substitute an untried system
for the present federal control.
The colonel urged that, if an adj
ministrative board is created, 1t
be made up of at least two quail
fed electors of the territory.
He deplored the existence of red
tape in the manner of governing
the affairs of Alaska, but said he
believed it could be cut without
seriously interfering with the ad-
ministration.

defects are discovered.
DR.. Smith informed the committee
that he saw no advantage to be
gained by transferring jurisdiction
over Alaskan affairs from the pres

personnel of the existing fisheries
organization.
Congressman Curry then suggest
ed that an amendment might be
drawn to eliminate this objection.
Continuing, DR.. Smith said that
Congress had failed to provide
enough funds to carry on the work
in Alaska, in spite of the fact that
the fisheries bureau, for twelve
years, had pleaded for money and
adequate laws for the protection Of
the fisheries. He said that Governor
Riggs had made statements CRITICS.

"entirely unjustifed because they
are at variance with the facts"
Ward Bower, in charge Of the
Alaska fisheries service of the de-
partment of commerce, took the
same position as Dr. Smith with re-
gard to the bill He urged that a
new basic law be enacted to extend
the jurisdiction of the department
over waters over which the depart
ment now has no control, and to
give the department authority to
declare closed seasons. He also urged
the need Of larger appropriations.
