POWER SURVEYS;
FOUR new SITES
Forest Service Engineer Con-
cludes Examination of Ton
gass Forest Sites.

Completing his second season Of
water power reconnaissance in the
Tongass National Forest, in which all
the known water powers in South
eastern Alaska were examined and
four entirely new ones listed, j. Z.
bort arrived here last night. He
has been accompanied this season
by Mrs. bort, who will go South on
the Princess Mary this week, while
Mr. bort will proceed to the West
ward on the Northwestern for exam
ination of project on the Eklutna
River.
In his work this season. Mr.. bort
covered approximately $500 miles IN
Southeastern Alaska. His time has
been devoted largely to investigating
water power sources reported Dy
prospectors and others to exist IN
certain localities but of which there
has never been any authentic record
official or otherwise. In all 70 such
reported projects were investigated
and out of that number four power
sites capable CT being utilized in for
est development were discovered
and data on the cost of development
and the possible hydro-electric power
of each was assembled Many small
err sites were also found. ranging
from a few hundred to $500 horse
power capacity.
The TOUR new worthwhile sites dis
covered are: Blue Lake, Takat2
Lake, both on Baranof Island; Punch
bowl Lake, at Rudyard Bay on Benin
Canal about 80 miles from Ketchi-
kan, and Mink Bay, at Boca de Qua
dra. 1t is estimated that the TaKatz
Lake site can be economically de-
veloped to produce from 10000 to
II, 900 horsepower, Punchbowl Lake
from 5000 to 10000 and Mink Bay
from 1000 to 5000 horsepower. The
Takatz Lake and Kusnyki Bay sites

RADIO PLANT AT
EAGLE READY SOON
kDavson News.)

lack Hillard, u S. Customs COL
lector at Eagle, who passed through
Dawson en- route to Skagway anu
Juneau. where he will continue IN
the Customs Service, brought news
of the new radio plant at Eagle
which is in course OF erection, and
promises to be completed in a snort
time. 1t likely will be working TINS
month.
The radio station is being built
for the United States government
and ii Win connect with other sta
lions in Alaska. Frank Swanson has
charge of the work of erecting the
two poles for the antenna. When tue
radio station is completed Dawson
will again have an outlet to the out
side in case the wire to the sorth
goes down. The equipment for the
station arrived on the Alaska. The
new operator is at Eagle
Jack Hillard also says that he in
tends to introduce a fine breed OF
carrier pigeons next summer 1or
service in the North, specially for
stranded aviators. He brought
roughneck breed from Dawson to
Eagle and had them wandering
about Aviator Prests's airplane last
July, but never thought to stow one
away in the plane for Priests use IN
case of accident. II he had done so,
word would have been back in
Eagle ten minutes after the aviator
was compelled to make a forced
landing.
One OF Jacks pigeons was taken
out by the Eagle search party, and
was back in Eagle with the news
that Prest was safe few minutes
after the search parry met him.
Mr.. Hillard believes that carrier
pigeons will do we'll in the North
and prove of excellent service in
many ways But 1t Is necessary, he
says, TO get them used to the coun-
try before letting them out on long
flights. Give them practice, take
them out into the wilds, not too far
out to start with, but increasing the
distance, and soon they will know
the country and be able to make
long trips.

Springs Bay site reported on last
year so that an aggregate of from
25, 900 to 10000 horsepower can be
brought in at that point. The timber
resources of the district are such
as to make it a very desirable site
for pulp and paper mill, it was
stated.
Mr.. bort was in the field five
months this year, and completed at
least for the present the Forest
Services program for water power
surveys. The data accumulated last
year and during the present season
will be compiled for publication in a
booklet and probably printed early
next year for the convenience OF
those interested in Alaskan pulp and

GIRL TELLS Of
ALLEGED ATTACK
BY RICHARDS At.
MADISON SQUARE
Claims Sports Promoter
Gave Her Money Not To
Tell - Frequently Wis
tied Him In Apartment.

NEW lOtths Mar. @l.--AA uhutt :
sized tousel haired school girl in
short dresses, Sarah Schoenfeld, just
over 10 years of age, sat in a witness
chair in supreme court for more than
two hours today and told Justice
Wasservogel and jury of alleged
assaults upon her by George L. (Tex)
Rickard, internationally known sports
promoter.
AS she recited her story in a lisp
ing voice. the man who had arranged
some of the greatest pugilistic en-
counters in history sat with arms
folded, staring at her. only occa-
sionally did he relax, and then to
whisper in his counsers ear or to
make notes with a pencil.
The girl told how she had been in
troduced to Rickard by her chum,
Nellie Gasko, last summer IN the
swimming pool at Madison Square
Garden. He gave them both money,
she said, and told them to come and
see him at his office in the tower OF
the building. Upon their visit, she
testified. Rickard gave them a note
and asked them to call at an apart
ment in West 4Tth street. They
called at the apartment later and
there the alleged assault took place.
He gave them each $10 she said, and
asked them to call again.
Then followed story OF other
visits, all but one, when she was
alone, in company with the Gasko
girl. These visits covered several
months. She said Rickard also tried
to assault the Gasko girl, but that
she repulsed him. The amount OF
money he gave them, she said, varied
from time to time, ranging from 20
to $40.
After each alleged assault. Sarah
testified, the promoter asked them
to tell nothing Of what had happened.
One she asked Richard to help get
her brother Samuel out Of Jail in
Milwaukee, where she had been ar
rested for stealing. Rickard prom
ised to help, she said, and later she
brought her mother to see him. A
letter was offered as evidence. al
legged to be written to Mrs, Schoen-
field on Jan. IS, last by RiclSard, In
which he enclosed a letter to the gov
el.nor of wisconsin, asking that steps
be taken to release Samuel from
prison. The letter asked Mrs.
Schoenfeld to write directly to the
governor and to enclose the other
letter.
Sarah was on the stand when ad-
iournment was taken until tomor-
row. In outlining the case to the
Jury. Ferdinand Pecora, assistant dis
trict attorney, said the state would
prove that when the news of Rick
ards arrest in connection with al
legged assaults on other girls was
printed. the Schoenfeld and Gasko
girls met him by telephonic appoint
ment and that during an automobile
ride for more than an hour through
Central park he urged them to tell
the authorities nothing Of what had
happened.
He told them, Mr.. Pecora said, to
say il necessary that another man
did it,"
He warned that IL they told they
would be "sent away" until they were
IL years old. and that he would give
them no more money.
The girls promised that they would
obey, Mr.. Pecora said.
After adjournment Rickard was led
back over "the bridge Of sighs' to
Tombs prison where his cellmate is
Alfred +. Lindsay alleged swindler OF
wealthy society women.

AMENDING Of
.F|NANCECODE
CONCLUDED
in NTHESENATE
House Completes Greater
Volume Of Business Yes
terday Than Any Day
During Present Session.

1t was in the midst of storm that
the consideration of the financial
code was concluded in the senate,
committee Of the whole yesterday az
ternoon and the bill was sent to the
committee on style, revision and COM
pilatton with recommendation for
its passage. The end was marked by
running debate in which there was
little effort to conceal ill-feeling. 1t
all came about over an amendment, a
substitute for Section 5 of the bill,
which provides among other things
that the income of any moneys in
vested as prescribed by the enabling
act or the constitution shall i'm
mediately upon its receipt be credit
ed to the proper purpose or purposes
as provided by law; that the gross
amount Of all moneys received by
any department, state institution
or state agency of whatsoever chara-
ter. from whatever source. with GER
tain exceptions relating to the uni
versity an normal schools, shall be
paid into the state treasury to the
credit of the general fund.
This substitute for the section was
submitted by Chairman Elliott just
before the noon recess, following a
caucus of the democratic members in
the morning. The substitute was an
elaboration of Section and ended
with provision for a revolving
state highway fund which was to be
created with funds received from the
federal government which should be
paid to the state for the matching
or state money on highway projects
which have been completed or which
shall be completed by July / of this
year. The money in this fund is to be
used in matching federal aid on fut-
ure projects The statement was
made that there is now due the state
from the federal government about
$1.S00,000.
Vote Down Delay.
President Wilkinson objected to
the latter provision on 4he ground
that the basis OF the revolving fund
as proposed was largely imaginary.

"Bawling" Contest
Won By Tenant;
Score Is 9 To S
TRepubIIean A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, March 21.-Tony
Palmitieri, a tenant, today won
a case in court against Mrs.
a score of nine to five.
Mrs. Mahoney recently bought
a tenement house in the Bronx
and picked the suite in which
Tony lived to shelter herself and
her brood of five.
When Tony wouldn't bulge, she
obtained a court order dispossess-
ing him March is. Still Tony
stood pat. To-day the argument
again came into court and Mrs.
Mahoney brought her quintet to
prove to municipal court Justice
Robitsek that she must have
room. She lined up her five chill
dren impressiyely along one side
of the room. But Toney was her
equal, he had, Mrs. Palmitieri
bring their nine youngsters to
court, and they fell in on the
opposite side of the court room.
Suddenly the infant in Mrs.
Palmitieris arms released a wall.
Grief spread down the line until
the eldest, IA, was weeping. Then
the Mahoney's broke forth five
strong.
Justice Robitsek hurriedly set
aside the dispossessing order, di-
rected both sides to reach an
agreement out of court and ad-
journed the case until April 6.

I D CALL Up
BONUS BILL
UNDER RULES
SUSPENSION.
Speaker GilIett Agrees To
Introduction Of The e
Measure In House Thurs
day. Will Limit Debate.
TRepubIIcan a. p. leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, March 21-Speak-
er Gillett consented today to permit
the compromise soldiers bonus bill
to be taken up in the house Thurs
day under a suspension of the rules.
1t is the plan to have the final vote
before adjournment that. day after
four hours of general debate, divided
equally between opponents and pro-
ponents.
A two thirds mjority will be nee
essary to pass the bill under this
procedure, but those in charge of the
legislation predicted that they would
have votes TO spare. BY this method
the majority will succeed not only in
shutting out all amendments, but also
in preventing the Democrats from Of
Ierlng a motion to recommit the bill.
The parliamentary plan for han
ding the measure was determined
upon at a five minutes conference to-
day between Mr.. Gillett and Chair
man Campbell of the rules COM
mittee.
The special rule will be presented
Immediately after the house convenes
on Thursday, Mr.. Campbell said, but
whether any debate on it will be per-
mltted has not yet been determined.
The chairman might cut off discus
sion by moving the previous question
after explaining the rule. A ma
jority vote only will be required TO
adopt the rule, which Democratic
leaders said would be opposed almost
solidly by their side.
Would Block Democrats
With the rule adopted the next step
would be for Chairman E'ordney of
the ways and means committee. who
will be in charge of the bill. to move
to suspend the rules and pass the
measure, thus opening the way to
general debate on the bonus itself
After four hours before the final roll
call will be ordered.
After his conference with Mr..
Campbell, Speaker Gillett said he
was inclined to think 1t would be Just
as well not to open the way for the
Democrats to offer a motion on the
bill, which would have to be per-
mitted unless the rules were sus-
pended. He called attention that in
their minority report the Democrats
had urged that the bonus be paid by
an excess profits tax and increased
surtaxes.
Asked if a motion to re- enact those
taxes would be germane, since the
bill had no tax provision, Mr.. Gillett
said he might rule that it was not.
but that there then probably would
be an appeal from his decision, which
would bring the matter of those taxes
to vote of the house.
After their failure to get the bill
up Monday under a suspension of the
rules. those in charge of the legisla-
ton appeared to be highly grAtified
that their original plan had been ap-
proved.
They anticipated that little or no
difficulty in executing their program
on the floor and believed that by
Thursday night the problem with
which they have been wrestling for
hands.
