KLEIN DENIES
 VALDEZ WAS IN DANGER

Capt. Klein, of the steamship Val deg, which arrived at Juneau recently denied that the steamship Valdez which was reported to have sent out S. o. s. calls during recent storm, was in any danger whatever, and also denied that the ship was taken in tow by the Skagway or that he was injur- ed as the report stated. No damage was done to the vessel beyond the smashing in of a door and the flood ing of the cabin with water.
 Captain Klein claims the call was sent out without his knowledge, and that it was the result of the wireless operaor being in blue funk over the sererity of the storm which was one ol the worst in many years.

 In a statement made today he said: "In order to secure a consensus of opinion from the people of Alaska on the so-called Nelson game bill propos- ed for Alaska, the Alaska Fish and Game Club sent out cards to over 5OO residents of the Territory asking them to e.press their views on the bill.

STUDENTS THREATEN
 STRIKE IN SCHOOLS

KHARKOV. Russia. November H. Students were paid by the soviet gov ernment last year to attend classes at the University of Kharkov, but this season they are paying their own way, and the enrolment is larger than at any time since the war.
 The usual large attendance for the beginning of the fall term is attrlbut- cd to the fact that many of the old professors have been reinstated to their university positions. Last year many of the regular professors were replaced by communist professors. As a result the attendance fell off mater ially and eventually, there was gov ernment investigation. It was finally decided to try the scheme Of paying the students to attend school, the scale of compensation being 5000 sov- jet rubles month. The average gov ernment employe was receiving at the same time 4,OOO rubles a month.
 
 The majority of the university stu dents here are not communist sympa- thizers. They objected strenuously to being taught by communist professors So when the students threatened to strike other plans were thought out, II being evident that the communist pro- fessors were not at all popular at the university.
 Just before the university opened this fall, it was announced that nearly all of the old time professors, many or them great favorites for years in khar kov, would take up their former duties again. This caused general rejoicing and there was a rush from Kharkov and other cities to fill up the classes The students willingly agreed to pay the 2,OOO, 900 rubles a month tuition fee in order to have thei rold profes- sors back.
