Stories of acci- dent and tragic episode continue to pour in. One man, not yet identified, crazed by the progress of the flames, is said to have hanged himself while the fire was raging about his place of business Many persons are re- ported to have been injured by fall ing buildings and through frantic efforts to save their belongings.

MINES BUREAU PESSIMISTIC ON
 COAL MINING

SEATTLE, Dec. S.-The annual report of the Bureau of Mines is summarized by the Times special Washington correspondent in last nights issue. The reports detailed chapters on the subject of Alaska coal state that while there IS in Alaska an abundance of coal, for the present, at least, much of this cannot be mined as commercial proposi- ton. That the Government Railroad from Seward to Fairbanks must look to the development of mines other than coal If it is to be sue cessful business venture" is the further emphasis Of the report, which, however, resisting the tempta- tion to be entirely pessiinistic, finds that In the Nenana Ignite field there lie great possibilities. The richer and more pretentious coals> of the Boring River and Matanuska dis tricts are declared to be of less po- tential value than those of the Ne mana field, by reason of the diff culties attending mining operations there. The report states that in the northern part of the Territory the railroad and industries depending upon 1t will shortly be enjoying an abundant supply of cheap fuel from mines which are opening on Healy River, and in discussing the Healy River coal the report declares that River coal the report declares this mined in Iowa and entirely adequate for all domestic and steam uses connected with mining conditions in interior Alaska" the costs of whicE, says the report, should be low.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-President Harding appeared before Congress this morning to read his annual mes sage, delivery of which had been de- ferred during the first two days of the new session, thus breaking pre- cedent which has prevailed since the early days of the Republic. Dealing with nearly score of sub jects, the message laid particular stress upon recommendations cover ing prohibition, farm credits, the transportation problem, child labor and the immigration question An nouncinfi that it is his intention to invite to an early conference here the Governors of various States and Territories, the President stated that he hoped for the adoption of definite policies for cooperation between the National and State Governments in the administration of the prohibition law. He declared that he believed it unlikely that the day would arrive when the prohibition amendment would be repealed, and he stated that the nation should adopt a course accordingly. If the statutory provisions for the enforcement of prohibition gre contrary to delibarate public opinion, which, he said, he did not believe, rigorous and liberal enforcement, he declared, would con centrate public attention upon any requisite modification of the law. "Such course," he said, conforms to the law, saves the humiliation of the Government and the humilia- tion of the people before the world, challenges the destructive forces en- gagged in widespread violation, and prevents official corruption and in dividual demoralization.'
 Eliminate Labor Board
 On the subject of the transporta- ton problem the President proposed that the Railway Labor Board should be abolished, substituting in it's place Labor Division in the Interstate Commerce Commission. This Divi- sion, he said, should have ample powers and its rulings should be ac-
