WILL LEASE NAVY'S
ALASKA COAL MINES
Secretary Fall to Transfer Ac-
tive Operation to Private
Concerns.
Special Dispatch 10 THE New York HERALD

Special Dispatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., May 6. J
Coal mines In Alaska developed by the
United States Navy will be leased to
private mining concerns. The Interior
Department is perfecting plans for the
transfer OF active operation OF the
mines. This apparently Is complete
reversal of the policy Of the Wilson Ad-
ministration, which inaugurated study
and development of coal mine resources
in Alaska for naval uses.
The proposal of the Interior Depart
ment. affecting Alaska mining prop
ertv. parallels the recent action In con-
nection with the leasing Of the Teapot
Dome oil reserves.
The chief coal mining areas developed
by the Navy in Alaska are two mines In
the Chlckaloon District. Some time ago
+bev were turned over to the Interior
Denartment. The plan of the depart
ment is to lease the properties to some
resnonsible engineering or mining con-
Germ for operation, with the primary
object of supplying coal for naval pur-
poses"
Four firms have definitely considered
the leasing proposal. Among them only
the Lake and Export Corporation of
Huntington, w. Va. considered the
prospects good enough to warrant pre-
liminary field and engineering exam
nations. The Department of the Inte-
rior has given the company until July
IS to complete examination of the mines
and possible markets and to make an
offer to Secretary Fall.

LONG HIKE OF TWO GIRLS
Brooklyn Mothers Don't Object to Overalls and Khaki

Filled Knapsack Ends All.

Policeman Hecht. who directs traffic

young girls, one in blue overalls and
the other in a khaki suit. walking
rapidly yesterday opposite Washington
street. He stopped them and asked
where they were going. They replied
that they We're hiking to Philadelphia
and that their parents knew all
about it.
The policeman took the girls to the
police station. where they said they
were Hilda Petersen. aged II. of 374
Sixth avenue, Brooklyn. and Genevieve
Pendrall. 16, of 1856 Sixth avenue, also
Brooklyn. The police examined the
knapsack Genevieve was carrying and
found some matches and cigarettes.
Policeman Hecht. who was doubtful OF
the whole adventure. called up the
Petersen girls mother.
Yes said Mrs. Peterson over the

plenty of money and are able TO take

But. Mrs. Petersen asked Police
man Hecht. did you know that the
girls have a lot of cigarettes and
matches with them?''
II most certainly did not. exclaimed
the indignant Mrs. Petersen. Hold
them there and don't let them get away
until we come after them"
A few hours later the parents OF
Hilda and Genevieve arrived at the
Newark police headquarters, confiscated
the cigarettes and took the girls back
to Brooklyn. 1t developed that al
though the girls started out to hike"
they had ridden all the way TO Newark
and had just got off a truck when
