specifically accused the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the ketch- ikan Commercial Club with such op- position.
 Those who are engaged in fishing constitute the only permanent popu- lation of Southeastern Alaska, de clarcd Sutherland, and it is their children who will populate the towns here in the future, he added. He characterized the tariff recently en- acted as an equitable one as far as fish is concerned and one that leaves Prince Rupert open to American fish ermcn. He reiterated his support of the White Fisheries bill and denied that it's anti-trap provisions would eliminate trap fishing in Southeast ern Alaska, saying that it is com promise measure.
 Biggest War Profiteers
 The Delegate chargeG the cannery interests with being the foremost among war profiteers, and that they out of greed had packed salmon unfit for human consumption which they sold the Government to be sent to American soldiers fighting in France. He declared that the Bureau of Fish cries is controlled by these cannery interests and cited the creation or the Alaska Peninsula Fisheries Re serve last spring as proof of that
 o1 Ia established at the instance Of can ners operating in that field who de- sired to shut out the Carlisle Pack- ing Company after it had been forced to discontinue it's plant at the mouth of the Yukon River. He denounced the recently announced proposal or Secretary Hoover to extend the re- serve to include Bristol Bay regions on the north and Cook Inlet districts on the east of the present reserve
 For Full Territorial Government
 He said he advocated full Terri toral form of government for Alaska and had always done so. However he added, granting Alaska full Ter ritorial government would remove but one bureau--the Fisheries Bureau. He said he was afraid of the free administration of public lands. The history of such administration Tn Hawaii and Porto Rico, he declared proved it to be dangerous and that lands so handled soon were con trolled by private interests Ihe only safeguard the public had for its interests in public lands was found in their administration by the Gen eral U. s. Land Office.

Reed and District Attorney Shoup for the appointment of Edward G. Nor rissey, editor of the Ketchikan Chronicle, as U. s. Commissioner there. He accused Mir. Shoup of political manipulating, intriguing, making and unmaking other off cials, or proselyting, declaring the appointment of Morrissey was an in stance of such proselyting Nor rissey, he said, had been transformed by the two officials mentioned from Democrat to a subsidized Republi can and that the subsidization con sisted of subsidizing his newspaper bipartisan sheet, with the funds of the judiciary. The paper was in somewhat straitened circumstances or at least Morrissey was, and the interests that control the paper had to have their interest paid, and there seemed to be no better way than to obtain it through the funds of the judiciary"

 Concerning the alleged interests which he asserted had been respons- ible for the Ketchikan appointment. he said:
 "You ask me to specify the inter ests All right The interests thai would exploit every sea toiler on the North Pacific, and compel them to pay tribute to Ketchikan. vii specify a little further. The same interests that canned decomposet salmon for the soldiers to eat in Flanders. I want to be little more specific. There are several cannery interests in Ketchikan, and I want 10 say from my knowledge but one If those cannery interests did that contemptible, reprehensible trick, and that was the Sunny Point Packing Company, an interest that controls a large part of the business interests of Ketchikan. and through banking interests, the interests in Morrissey's s paper, and that's the way 1t came about"

MRS. FREY PRAISES
 JUNEAU AND PEOPLE

Rev Mae Eleanor Frey, evangelist, by preaching on the subject Juneau as I See It She began by saying: q love Juneau In coming from the States, had been warned by kind friends that was running great chances in coming to Alaska in Octo- Der as I Would encounter nothing but snow and ice and without doubt be stalled here in the icebergs for the winter. I was agreeably sur prised to find a city like Juneau. Mrs Frey then paid high tribute to the civic affairs as she has had op- portunity of observing them, the splendid public, buildings making spe- cial mention ofsthe public library and governmental buildings.
 She mentioned the.business places the department stores, the fine resi- dences and home life in general. The natural beauty of the country, she declared, surpassed anything she had ever seen in a1I her travels.

 There is a free, easy, open heart edness about the people of this city that does me good. You are real folks here without any, veneer
 In closing Mrs. Frey pointed ont some of the objectionable features as she had seen them. She does not think Juneau is a church going city, which is a mistake. she said. She ob- jected 10 the open Sundays with the.r picture shows which people seemed to prefer rather than their church services. However, she said. "Jn- neau is no worse in this respect than many cities in the States.
 She believes that an old fashion revival of old-time religion would raise the moral tone of the city and is what Juneau needs.
 Mrs. Frey will leave on the Spo- kane for the north ,,and will visit Haines and Skagway.

 The Delegate made no specific charges against MT. Morrissey nor against the conduct of his office since his appointment early last summer. He characterized him as the tool of special interests in Ketch ikan, expoiter of the public in his newspaper and said that Judge Reed had appointed him at the request of such interests.
 No Enthusiasm Aroused
 Despite the fact that the Delegate had previously announced his inten- t0n of criticising certain Federal of fcials, a comparatively small house greeted him He appeared without introduction and was alone on the speakers platform The applause which greeted him was scattering and while at no time during his ad- dress was there any great amount of enthusiasm displayed, during his at t1ck on Judge Reed and District At tornev Shoup it was less marked than at others. It is estimated that between 300 and $50 people were ir the audience.

Burch Jury Out
5 Hours-Unable
to Find Verdict

LOS ANGELES, May 1s.-The case
of Arthur C. Burch, on trial for the
murder of J. Bolton Kennedy here
Aug. 5, was given to the jury at 4 so
today.
A. Culberson, the alternate or thir-
teenth juror, was excused when the
jury returned to the jury room
Upon being questioned, Culberson
asid if he had cast vote it would
have been for acquittal.
The jury. which is composed OF
eight men and four women, deliher-
ated until 5:35 p. m, then left for
dinner with instructions TO return at
{ p. m.
Final arguments in the case were
made today by Paul w, Schenck,
chief defense attorney, and Asa
keyes, deputy district attorney, after
which Judge Sidney Reeve read in
structions to the jury.
Both attorneys devoted much time
to the relations of Mrs. Madalynne
Oberchain, co-defendant in the case,
with Burch and Kennedy. Mr..
Schenck argued the evidence showed
Mrs. Obenchain had not been scorned
by Kennedy, therefore no motive had
been established for her to seek
Burchs aid against him. Mr.. Keyes
declared letters read in evidence
proved the contrary.

.FRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK. May 19.-Baseball
fans all over the city, perhaps all
over the country, were talking to-
night about the scheduled return of
Babe Ruth from exile to the Polo
Grounds tomorrow.
All reserved seats for the game
have been sold and some bleacher
bugs are likely to line up outside the
gates before dawn, as they do for the
world series.
There's one little formality that
must be carried out over night, since
the Babes suspension is not auto
matically lifted tomorrow. His bosses
must send a polite telegram to Com
missioner lands inquiring IL it will
be all right for their favorite en-
ploye to so back to work. A reply
must come from the commissioner
before Babe can take his place in the
lineup.
The sight of him, swinging the
devastating bat that clouted 50 home
runs last year, is just one of three
extraordinary attractions that to-
morrow's battle between the Yankees
and the st. Louis Browns has TO offer.
Two other home run swatters viii
make their 1922 bow to New York
fans.
One is Kenneth Williams, who is
doing about as well in the four base
hit production line as the Babe was.
a year ago. Already he's got il of
them to his credit. This time last
season Babe had only IL home runs.
But the Babe pretends cool IN
difference 10 the walloping by VIII
liams.
.'oh, he'll quit" is his comment
when you ask him what he thinks
about the way this st. Louis chap
knocks 'em out.
He just hits homers in st. Louis
the Babe adds.
Williams is reported to have said
that he is not straining to top the
Bambino's record and that he'd just
as soon place n short drive where
there's nobody to catch it as always
to be swinging for home run or
nothing.

WITHDRAWAL FROM
MERGER LEAVES 5
IN STEEL COMBINE
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, May 10 The
Youngstown Sheet and Tube COM
pany today withdrew from the pro-
posed merger of independent steel
companies, leaving only five of the
original seven companies in the COM
bination. The Lackawanna steel
company withdrew last week upon
the completion of negotiations for
its purchase by the Bethlehem Steel
corporation. While a statement of
Thomas l.. Chadbourne. counsel for
the interested companies, declared
that the conferences among the other
five concerns are continuing whether
it is advisable to consider a CONSOLE
dation of all or some of these COM
panies
1t is generally believed in the fl
nancial district that the proposed
merger is off, at least for the present.
Under the tentative plan agreed
upon by Kuhn Loeb and company,
bankers, and the executives of the
interested companies, J. A. Camp
bell, president of the Youngstown
company, was to head the merger,
having been agreed upon as chair
man of the board of directors and
chairman of the executive commit
tee. Neither Mr.. Chadbourne nor
sons for Youngstown's withdrawal.
Mr.. Campbell did state, however,
that the action was decided upon af
ter he had conferred with his board
of directors and the principal stock
holders who are in this city, and that
the investigation of the department
of justice into the proposed merger
had nothing to do with it.
The five companies still remaining
in the combination are the Midyale
Steel and Ordnance company. the
Republic Iron and Steel company. the
Brier Hill Steel company the Inland
Steel company, and the Steel and
Tube company, of America. Rumors
have been current in the financial
district for several days that the
Midvale and Republic companies
were negotiating with the Bethle-
hem I.ackawanna combination but
these have been denied by Mr.. Chad
bourne.
From financial standpoint
Youngstown was probably the
strongest company in the merger. 1t
has no funded debt, it has paid divi
dends over an unbroken period of
| Is years, it has a surplus of s4S.-
100000 and it has high record Of
earnings. From an economic stand
| point, il also has a. strong position,
| owning its own coal and ore proper
| ties and manufacturing a wide di-
versity of finished products includ-
| ing basic iron and steel materials
except rails and structural plates.
| The withdrawal of Youngstown
with an ingot capacity of 1.200 600
! tons reduces the combined ingot ca
| pacity of the companies in the mer-
ger to approximately 100000 tons as
| compared with 10.006,000 tons in the
/ original seven company consolida
| ton.

Shortage in Spring
Lambs Reported By
Federal Department

WASHINGTON, May ia ma
terial shortage in spring lambs and
q resultant smaller supply of wool
was indicated today by the depart
ment of agriculture as a result of re-
ports just received from the Western
sheep country.
The total lamb production in Mon
tana, Wyoming, Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Nevada, the reports
indicate, would total only about 20
per cent of normal. The shortage
situation is attributed to dearth of
ewes. Some reports indicate, the de-
partment says, that large Western
spectators and feeders have already
contracted for approximately half
the lamb crop in Idaho, Oregon and

BANK BANDITS HIDE
IN LONELY OZARKS;
ELUDE HOT PURSUIT

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, May 19.--
Hiding by day and travelling by
night. pursued by Ozark woodsmen,
militiamen and peace officers, three
of the five bandits who Monday took
$50, 800 from a bank messenger here,
have been making their way north
all week, a posse on their heels.
Today Sheriff T. J. Harris of Green
county reported over the long dis
tance telephone that the three men
are believed to be near Bagnell. in
Miller county, rs miles northeast Of
here They were seen at dawn, the
sheriff said
But the bandits saw their pur-
suers almost as quickly as they were
seen and We're back among the hills
along the Usage river where Jesse
James and his companions OF gem
Grafton ago were wont to take refuge
when pursuit grew too hot And in
spite of motor cars and airplanes
pressed into services much of this
foothill country wse inaccessible as
in the days of Jesse James. High
hills, thick woods, dense brush shut
off pursuit and furnish cover. To-
night the sheriff believes the three
will again make an effort to reach
the railroad. They did that last
night, but the posse was there
ahead of them and the bandits
turned back waiting another chance
to slip through the lines of their
pursuers or get around the end"
Five hundred dollars in silver was
picked up by the pursuers a few
hours after the robbery. 1t was too
heavy and had been abandoned. A
stolen motor car was abandoned.
Time and again. the bandits have
been reported to be surrounded and
have slipped away; more than once
they have been reported clear Of
pursuit but the posse has picked up
the trail again.
Two bandits, believed to have
gone west from here, are admitted
TO have escaped.
