ANOTHER SUIT IS STARTED IN
 T'UPELLA CASE

JUNEAU, Jan. 6. Word comes from ketchikan that Henry Lepisto, through the Juneau law firm of Hell lenthal & Hellenthal, has brought suit against John Tuppela for $75,- 900 and has asked a restraining or drder to keep the Chichagoff Mining Company from paying Tuppela $15O,000. The restraining order was granted by Judge Jennings at Ket- chikan.
 Tuppela secured judgment for a large sum, approximately a million dollars from the mining company, on the showing that he was one of the original owners, and claiming he had been denied his rights through fraud. He is represented by Attorney Cobb and Vim. Finally settlement was arranged by which he was to get $30O,OO0.
 Lespisto claims that he had a agreement with Tuppela, having talk. en care of him when he was broke and without friends, and assisted him to secure attorneys, and in return Tup- bella was to give him an interest in the claims and any judgment he might secure.
 The hearing on it's order is set for March 1st.

BILLIE BURKE DELIGHTS
 FIRST NIGHT AUDIENCE
 IN MISLEADING WIDOW

For the last time tonight, Billie Burke in "The Misleading Widow. This dainty actress is always a de- light, but in this brilliant little com edy she is a joy forever.
 As "widow" who isn't a widow she keeps the gossips busy, at their favorite indoor sport, and when her dead husband turns up very much alive-well, if you missed the "Mis- leading Widow" last night, you had better not miss tr tonight, or you'll miss a mighty enjoyable bit of fun
 Were you ever Sin wrong?" It got to be chronic with Jack Pickford. It wasn't his fault that he got into so many scrapes; h1s intentions were al ways the best, but there was the old swimming hole, and there were those ice cream pants that the city dude wore, and what village boy could resist such temptation? He wanted to work, but what fun is there in delivering groceries? He loved his sweetheart, but oh, those city dubs! And so Jack got "In Wrong" and if you want to see how he got out, come over to the Empress tomorrow night.

 The Alaska provision reads as fol- lows:
 And provided further that the sec retary of agriculture is authorized to extend the provisions of this act to the territories of Alaska and Hawaii by withdrawing from the appropria-
  t1on for each fiscal year after the deduction of not to exceed three per centum for administration, and prior to the apportionment to the various states, not to exceed $75O,O00 to be ex- pended equally for the construction of post roads ill such territories under the provisions of the aforesaid acts and under such additional rules and regulations and on such basis of CO., operation as he may approve"

INDUSTRIAL CRISIS
HERE, SAYSPULLEYN
Head Of Emigrant Savings
Bank Says Railroad Workers
Should Be Heard.

PHILADELPHIA. April 2s.-The most
serious crisis of the industrial life Of
the nation exists to-day, John j. Pulleyn,
president of the Emigrant Industrial
Savings Bank Of New York, declared in
an address here to-day before the
second national conference of the Mutual
Savings Banks of the United States
Mr.. Pulleyn asked If the bondholders
should shirk the responsibility when
the crisis Is here and when we know
things are being done which under the
Esch- -Cummins act were not called for"
THE Esch-Cummins act Is specific in
what the railroads were to do" he said
There were no national agreements in
law to annul or To abrogate. The Esch-
Cummins act provided that six months
after the railroads were returned, anu
that took place on March l, 1920, the
railroads would operate under those
agreements. 1t was specific in stating
that each railroad should take up with
its own men the question of working
conditions and wages. 1t could do 1t
direct through boards or committees or
In any way IL saw fit. Why then was
not this done? DO you not feel that the
only way to proceed is the proper way?
The men who operate railroad trains,
the man who rides in the engine cab,
who has in his hands the lives of millions
ticket think you will agree with me
there are no higher types OF employees in
the word-the brakeman and numerous
other employees of these railroads are
entitled to be heard.
There has to be a change in existing
methods. The method of meeting pres
ent conditions on the part of the rail-
roads has not been a success ] am
criticising no one, but we all agree on
one fundamental fact, and that is that
during the three years that these proper
ties have been regulated by a govern.
mental agency there was not created a
condition under which those buying
bonds Of railroads could know whether
securities issued by the railroads would
be reasonably protected or the credit of
the property would be reasonably sta
bilized"
Samuel Fl. Beach, president of a
savings bank at Rome, N. Y. declared
the railroads of the country are SO
"wabbly a return to Federal control
looms" He asserted that railroad Sc
curities are unsafe investments for saw
ings banks. and should be Stunned the
same as securities OF any other business
that operates at q loss
William f. Buck. president of the
Bowery Savings Bank of New York.
said It would be criminal for a savings
bank to make q building loan now"
There is every possibility" he added.
that the bank making such a loan now
would wake UP in a few years and find
itself owner OF a property worth less
than the amount OF the loan. Combina-
tions of labor and of the men who sup
ply the materials make the game dan
gerous and keep savings banks out of

SULLIVAN LEGATEE
AVOIDS WILL FIGHT
Mrs. /. B. Gordon Does Not OPP
pose Rejection of Document
Drawn in Her Favor.

Belief that the estate of Cornelius J..
Sullivan, a distant cousin of the late
big Tim" Sullivan and his former po-
litical kenchman. will amount to prac-
tically nothing when all claims against
1t have been settled was given yesterday
as the reason for the failure of Mrs.
Isabel 3. Gordon to oppose the signing
cree denying probate to an alleged will
which made her the residuary legatee.
Sullivan died at Mrs Gordon's home,
IS Beekman place, November IL. 1919,
and she was named as correspondent in
divorce suit started by Mrs. May t.
Sullivan at White Plains a few weeks
before. An interlocutory decree was en-
tered October T. and it would have been
made firal in three months If Sullivan
had lived.
The chief asset of the Sullivan estate
is a judgment for 1927, 800 against the
Ryan Parker Construction Company for
work done by big Tins" relative in
connection with the erection of the Man
haitian Fridge. The judgment has been
affirmed by the Appellate Division Of
the Supreme Court and is pending in the
Court of Appeals. George Gordon Bat
tie, who presented the will in which
most Of Sullivan's property was left to
Mrs Gordon and his three sons by his
first marriage were cut off with 81
each, believes that even If the judgment
holds 1t will be entirely wiped out by as
signments Sullivan made to creditors be-
fore his death.
In her affidavit filed in the Surrogates
Court Mrs Sullivan swore on informa-
ton and belief that the will was not
freely and voluntarily executed by the
decedenr. and that Mrs. Gordon had OBJ
tanned it through fraud and undue in
fiuence.' Mrs Sullivan obtained her in
terlocutory divorce after detectives three
times raided apartments in which they
said they found. Sullivan and Mrs.
Gordon.
