 CURRY BILL IS
 VOICED BY JONES
Director of Coast Ceodetic Survey Testihes at Devel-
 opment Board Hearing.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 11.-Col. Coast and Geodetic Survey, appear ing before the House Committee on Territories yesterday in it's hearing on the Curry bill, providing creation of an Alaskan Development Board to administer Federal affairs in the territory, took the position that the proposed board does not strike at the fundamental trouble in the territory, q special Washington despatch to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says.
 Col. Jones said lack of money with which to enforce extension laws and to provide constructive pro gram for future development of Alaska is the real defect in the present government.
 Opposes Fish Control.
 He was particularly insistent that fisheries be not included in the ac tiyities over which the proposed board would have control. Declar ing that the Curry bill would simply substitute an untried system for present Federal control, he urged that if an administrative board is created that it consist of at least two qualified electors of Alaska.
 Col. Jones deplored the red tape with which government of Alaska is hound un but voiced belief that il could be cut without seriously in terfering with existing administra tion.
 Richardson on Stand.
 Gen. Wilds P Richardson and Maj Edgerton, speaking from personal ex periences as members of the Alaska Road Commission, followed Col Jones on the stand and indorsed tht pripciple of the Curry bill.

GOVERNOR ASKS FALL TO ASSIST
 IN EMER CENCY
Suggests Shipping Act Be Set Aside Until Marine.
 Strike Terminated.

Failing to get any response to his suggestion that the Federal Ship ping Board allocate steamers to the Alaskan run during the marine strike to provide for the emergency Gov Thomas Riggs this morning tefegraphed Secretary A.eB hsIli for assistance in getting relief and sug- gesting two methods whereby it might be afforded.
 , The Governors first plan of pro- cedure entails the setting aside. of the Merchant Marine Act of last year in order that the Canadian lines might be able to haul supplies from Seattle or Vancouver to Ju- neau for transportation to the Vest ward. In case this should prove to be impossible, he suggests that Sec retary Fall endeavor to have as- signed to Alaskan duty for trans porting supplies naval collier now understood to be at Bremerton.
 Supplies Perilously Low.
 Gov. Riggs sent the following telegram to Secretary Fall this morning:
 Supplies in Prince William Sound ports perilously low due to marine strike. Can get Canadian supplies as far as Juneau from Vancouver via Canadian Pacific steamer and Alaska Steamship Company freighter now in these waters, can turn around from Juneau and take such supplies to Westward but merchants have no Vancouver connections and in addition to paying local tariffs must pay duty into Alaska. If pro- visions of Jones' bill could be tenn porarily set saide, Canadian steamer could take supplies from Seattle to Vancouver and reship on regular liner to Juneau, we could meet em- ergency. Rush answer so that l may advise merchants where to place orders and also Alaska Steamship Company 50 that they can arrange movements of their freighters. If Jones' law cannot be suspended recommend that navy callier under stood now to be at Bremerton take cargo immediately either to Juneau or direct to Westward ports Elm ergency of situation will not allow any delay as suffering may result inside ten days. It might be pos sible to have all fines against Can ac!an steamers remitted during strike if no other arrangements possible"
 Stannard Is Advised.
 Gov. Riggs also cabled General Manager Stannard of the Masks Steamship Company advising him o the action taken and asking him re lative to tariffs which would obtain in case arrangements could be mad for reshipment of supplies from herr to Westward points. A canvass o local stocks, it was stated leads t. the belief that possibly but littl' more than 20 tons of supplies ar available here and at Ketchikan fo shipment to the Westward.
 \ Gov. Riggs also wired Secretar. Fall this morning asking that per mission be secured to enable Can adian vessels to carry passengers be tween local ports to prevent com plete stagnation of traffic
