ALASKA PROTESTS
AGAINST MARINE ACT
Discrimination in F0Uor of
Seattle Is Alleged.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Alaska's pro-
test against the enforcement of the mer-
chant marine act OF 1920 known, as the
Jones. law was presented to the Supreme
Court to-day by Attorney General John
Rustgard of that Territory in argument
on the appeal brought from the decision
Of a territorial court holding the act con-
stitutional.
The Alaskan Attorney General de-
clared that the act was discriminatory
against Alaska and in favor of Seattle.
and If enforced would compel the Terri
tory to conduct all its business with that
port.
Merchandise shipped from the United
States to Alaska by Canadian rail and
water lines is subject to confiscation.
while goods proceeding by Canadian rail
and water routes to Seattle and other
ports in the Pacific States have no PEN
atty imposed upon them. the Attorney
General stated. The treaty with Russia
was quoted by him as guaranteeing citi-
gems of the Territory the same rights
and privileges as other citizens Of the
United States.

CUNARD LINE DENIES
REVOCATION RUMORS
Hungary Has Not Cancelled
Traffic Concession.

Rumors that the passenger conces-
sion held by the Cunard Line from the
hungarian Government had been re-
voked were denied yesterday by off,
cials OF the line. The following quota
tion from a United States Department
s.f ssatc report. dated December 5, was
r1ven out: : "Since October 2S, the date
Of the inquiry of the agent of the
Cunard Line in regard to the granting
OF American visaes, 253 American
visaes have been granted to passen-
gers travelling via the Cunard Line
and during the same period 3sS Ameri-
u, slsaes have been granted to passen-
gers holding tickets issued by the five
other steamship companies doing busi-
ness in Budapest"
Reports current lately in the ship
ping district had coupled the presence
IN Central Europe of w. c. Sickel of
the United American Lines, with the
later trip of Emil Lederer, passenger
agent OF the Hartman organization,
and led TO speculations on the possi-
bility OF important immigrant conces-
sions growing out of the meeting.

Drug Market Quiet.

In general the drug market Is re-
ported as quiet this week. buying in
evidence being only for Immediate re-
quirements. Imported stocks are low. ac-
cording TO Drug and Chemical Markets.
especially In rhubarb Considerable
hardening of prices Is noticeable in the
industrial chemical market. A good ex-
port demand has developed from Japan
on alkalis. and prices OF copper sui
phate have advaced in sympathy with
the rise in copper metal prices Potash
Is very much stronger than were last
weeks prices. Quotations are generally
firmer, but slight active trading interest
is being shown, said TO be due to the
approach of the inventory period, buy
ers trading only in stocks for immediate
use. The fine chemical market has
been active this week. rise in the
prices of quicksilver, iodine and iodine
salts is noted. but a corresponding de-
cline Is noted in those for several i'm
ported chemicals, particularly cream of
tartar. potash, bicarbonate and tassine.
Prices at the close of the market were
reported as inclined to drop.

SIX Import statistics

Reports current In the local raw silk
market that the present year has seen
the importation of an extra large
amount of raw silk has led the Silk
Association of America to prepare q
set of statistics on the amount OF silk
imported during the last five years.
The report shows that there has been
a decrease of more than Loo bales in
imports, compared with those of the
corresponding months OF 1916, 1917. 1918
and 1919 Importations OF silk during
four months ended on October 81 in
those years We're 1880 bales. Importa-
tions of the corresponding 1921 months
were 96l93 bales. The year 1929 is ex-
cluded from the list because 1t is felt
that 1t was an unusual year In many
respects. and therefore not a true in
dication OF a normal period. If 1920 is
included, however. the statistics show
that the importatlons for the five year
period. 1916 to 1920, inclusive, show but
81 per cent. increase compared with
those of 1921. The report also shows
that more silk was imported into this
country during the five year period
than was imported into European coun-
tries,

SILK Syndicate Keeps Surplus.

Gable advices from Japan report that
the Raw Silk Syndicate has entered into
an agreement to withhold further SELL
ing OF its stock Of raw silk for three
months, pending the delivery and manu-
factdre of the stock OF 20,500 bales of
raw silk sold to domestic manufacturers
and importers on Tuesday. Thus a sur
plus OF 19,500 bales is left to the syndi-
cate to be disposed of at the end of the
period. The stock sold on Tuesday was
disposed OF as follows: TO the Mitsui
Company, Ltd, 4,500; to TIE Hara Silk
Company, 5000 bales. and to the Japan
Cotton, 4.500 bales. The remainder was
sold to other dealers. The aforemen-
toned agreement is said to have been
made to prevent the markets being over
loaded and thereby preventing buyers
from disposing OF their purchases. The
report of the selling Of that amount Of
raw silk has had a tendency, according
to the trade, OF increasing prices instead
OF lowering them, as was anticipated.
Yesterdays prices increased about z
cents a pound, compared with those of
Tuesday.

Lighthouse Service Cites Its
Accomplishments in Year.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 1.-THE annual
report of the Commissioner of Light
houses to the Secretary of Commerce
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1921,
has been published.
Three radio fog signal stations, the
first in this country, We're placed in
commission by the Lighthouse Service
on May /, 1921. These are on Ambrose
Channel light vessel, Fire Island light
vessel and at Sea Girt lighthouse, all in
the vicinity Of New York harbor. These
stations are the result of experiments
carried out during several years by the
Bureau of Standards and the Lighthouse
Service in development of. a practical
radio compass by the former.
A public demonstration of the work
ing OF these stations and of the use in
connection Herewith of a radio compass
mounted on a vessel was given by the
lighthouse tender Tulip in the vicinity
OF New York on June 81 and 2S. 1921.
This system should give to the navi-
gator for the first time a means of TAX
ing in q fog, or time of low visibility,
accurate bearings of invisible lighthouses
and light vessels, which he may use in
locating or steering his vessel, and he
should be able 10 do this independently
as he uses his magnetic compass Tor
bearings on visible objects. When de-
Veloped and its use EXTENDED, radio los
signals and the radio compass will prob
ably be the greatest advance made in a
long period in affording protection to
vessels in fog and SHOULD be the means
of avoiding some of the serious marine
disasters now due to inability to hear
or locate fog signal under unfavor-
able conditions.
During the year the new lighthouse at
Point Borinquen, the northwestern ex-
tremity of Porto Rico, was finished; COM
plete new systems of aids to navigation
were established for Keweenaw Water
way, Lake Superior, and for Fighting
Island Channel, Detroit River Mich, and
the new plate shop and coal shed at
the general lighthouse depot on Staten
Island. N. Y, were completed. Impor-
tant improvements and construction were
in progress at lighthouse depots at Chel-
sea, Mass; Galveston Tex; Detroit,
Mich, and Ketchikan, Alaska; on aids

sssippi and st. Marys rivers the east
