BISHOP
URGES LEGISLATION
TO DEVELOP ALASKA
LRepubIIoan a. ?. LEASED wIrel

lRepubllcan A. p. Leased WIre1
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Urgent need
ior legislation to aid development of
zAiaska' s resources was emphasized to-
uay py the Right Rev. Peter Trimble
,NoWe, Episcopal bishop of Alaska,
nete en- route to Washington in the
interests of fishing rights of the ter
ritorys' natives.
one or the best moves that the
snipplng board could make, he said,
would be to establish a government
ilne OF steamships to Alaska.
Such a line, offering a reasonable
tate development of the territory" he
tate development of the territor," he
aoded. Il am not one Of those who
condemn corporations in Alaska out
OF nand,' he said. "They have done
lot OF good work In developing the
torrltory and deserve credit. But Just
now, one of those concerns is not
only threatening the future of the
salmon interests, but is making life
impossible for a considerable body of
lives.
I am referring to a company which
is taking salmon from the Yukon and
copper rivers. It is on the fishing
AANNAS natives ueDenu
Tor food. There is a broad stretch of
coast where these canning corpora
tions can get all the fish they want;
nut It is easier to take the salmon
from the rivers. The result is that
the natives are hard pushed to secure
food and | know of many instances
where their children are starving and
they have had to kill their dogs be-
cause they had no food for them."
"Fle said old prospectors were pre-
dieting a new gold rush in the Chand-
eIar region, about 20 miles north of
Yukon, which 1t was believed would
compare with the old Klondilxe field.
But even should no more gold be dis
covered, he said Alaska was not to
be regarded merely as a worked out
mining camp.
Alaska is all right with her fish,
fur and OIL" he added, "The territory
presents broad field for development
but her difficulty is that she has been.
grossly neglected in the matter of
legislation which win promote that

Casenave Defends
French Naval Aim
At Arms Meeting
rRepuhIican A. p. Leased Wlre]


BALTIMORE. Md, Jan. S.-F'rench
naval aims, as set forth at the Wash
ington conference were advanced
mot with a view of attacking any
body" but because France must be
in a position, in event of war, to rely
upon herself only, to protect her own
coasts and to assure communication
with her overseas possessions,
Maurice Casenave, financial adviser
to the French arms delegation ex-
planned in an address today.
1.-THE idea of France attacking Eng
land" he declared. "is morally Grim
inal and materially stupid" He at
tributed the surprise" aroused by ths
presentation of Frances naval pro-
gram to the lack of knowledge in
America, concerning that nations
overseas possessions, whose are, he
said, slightly exceeds that of the
United States, Alaska, Porto Rico
and the Philippines combined"
Despite this need of naval protec-
tion, he declared, France 'in the
presence of the sacrifices made by
others" has shown itself "ready to
sacrifice large part of the program
OF capital ships" while the question
remains open for light cruisers and
submarines"
In explaining his nations position
as to land armament, he said that
TO be certain that such a nation as
Germany is no longer a menace to
her neighbors. one has to have proofs
that she is disarmed morally as well
as materially. and that she is ready
to pay for the wrong she has com
mitted." Signs of repentance are ap-
parent among the laboring classes of
Germany, he added, but "the leisured
class is filled with the spirit of ven-
geance only"

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
WHEN BOBBED HAIR
SPOILS HER BEAUTY

Turning her back upon a mirror
which reflected a mass of golden
hair attractively bobbed Emma Lewis
sent a bullet from a .3S caliher re-
.Nolver crashing through her breast
in an attempt to commit suicide in
her rooms at the Stacey hotel shortly
before o'clock last night.
To boy the first to enter the
room after the shot was heard,
Emma Historically exclaimed that
contrary TO her own judgment she
had needed the advice of a friend
and cut her hair yesterday. She said
she considered the loss of her hair
to be such Disagreement she could
not face anyone. Added to this
trouble she claimed she had no
friends 'in the world
DR.. II. K. Beauchamp arrived
soon after the shot had been fired
and dressed the would. Although
considering the case to be critical he
held out hopes for the recovery of the
patient.
'If the girl survives the terrible
shock of her own act and is not
fatally stricken with pneumonia there
Is a chance for her to live,' he said.
He declared that while serious the
wound was not an especially dan
gerous one.
The bullet entered the left breast
plowed it's way through the body and
struck the dresser before which the
girl had been standing when she
fired the shot. When picked UP the
piece of lead was distorted out of
shape and carried splinters of wood.
According TO the register at the
Stacey hotel Emma arrived there
Saturday night, Jan. Z. She did not
give any residence address but men
toned that she had been working as
a nurse in Tempe.
After administering first aid treat
ment at the hotel, DIR. Beauchamp
ordered the girl moved TO st. Jo-
sephs hospital, where the wound
was more thoroughly dressed.
The bullet penetrated the left lung
within an inch of the heart, DIR.
Beauchamp said. 1t took a down
ward course through the girls body
and had an exit under the left shoul-
der blade.
That the girl had planned the act
since yesterday is the belief of Po-
lice Chief George o. Brisbois. He
bases this conclusion on the fact that
she purchased the gun from a local
second hand store Saturday, and
with Ii two cartridges. The cham
bers of the gun contained but two
cartridges, one of which was dis
charged. The extent of the internal
damage could not be determined by
the physician last night but the fact
that it was a lead bullet gave rise TO
the impression that the shock will
probably prove of serious nature.
Several letters. written by the girl
before attempting the act, were
found on chair of her room at the
hotel.

store Saturday morning the heavy
door Of the safe was found on the
floor and the inner door had been
pried off with a piece Of pipe.
The yeggs had used gloves SO as TO
leave no finger prints and nitro
glycerine was used to blow the door
off. They twisted the handle off
the heavy door and poured the soup
into the hole where the handle had
been. The explosion was very heavy
for it completely wrecked the outer
door. They broke open the deposit
boxes and took the contents to the
store room Of the building where they
examined them, leaving all checks
and papers that might cause them
trouble later, About $500 in cash was
secured and $3.50 in liberty bonds.
The local constable and deputies
from the sheriffs office are working

as to the guilty parties.

cooperate. Secretary Weeks sug-
gested that the debated questions
should be thrown into party cacus
and that the majority, having so de-
veloped its views, should proceed 70
enact legislation accordingly. OBJ
jections were voiced, it was said. by
participants from congress. Opera
tions of a considerable number Of
western Republican senators. associ-
ated in the agricultural bloc, although
embarrassing to the administration,
1t was represented by their associ-
ates were dictated, not by hostility
to the administration, but by political
sentiment in their own states which
hazarded their reelection. The cry
OF caucus domination" 1t raised,
might force them, it was argued, in
open cooperation with four or five
Democratic senators now sitting,
whose definite purpose was declared
to be to annoy the Republican all
n,inistration.
The president restated his position
towards attempted amendment of the
federal reserve act, which would re-
dlirc him, if adopted, specifically to
appoint a farmer on the reserve
board. He would not object, it was
said, to some requirement specifying
representatives of agriculture, indus
try and commerce, but does oppose
a single mandate for a farmer.
Consider Tariff Bill
Further, the conference formulated
the view that very considerable ac-
compllshment had been registered by
congress under the Republican re-
gime, but that the facts had been
ohscured partially by adverse criti-
cism and partially through neglect.
Methods should be adopted, it was
agreed, to lay before the public the
Republican presentation Of the sub
ject.
The conferees got down to detailed
consideration of the tariff bill. in
Guiding schedule percentages and po-
litical strength for various demands
as TO amounts sought in It.
In these matters, however 1t was
insisted that no conclusions were
reached. The debt refunding bill. in
the view represented as being taken
by the president, should not be defi-
nitely tied to soldier bonus propos rs
or funds anticipated from it set aside
for the payments. but ii was agreed
that early action on it might help the
treasury pOSlllOI dNQ MAKE lne taSN
of meeting bonus charges easier.
1t is likely, those present said, that
President Harding will broaden the
scope of congressional conference
and seek at later gatherings the opin-
ion of representative men IN legisla-
tive circles not included Saturday
The finance committee is ready to
jump into the subject of American
valuation, a question which, it was
stated was discussed for more than
ali hour last night. While, again.
there was no agreement reached or
sought. the Ciscussion was said 10
have developed an insistence by the
president THAI he should have more
I1eeway in the administration and an
| lication of the home value policy
than is provided in the present bill,
passed by the house.
AS regards tte form OF debt fund d.
ing bill, the leaders were inclined to
the opinion that the senate finance
! committee would make no changes
/ in the house measure.

ITO a Finish No lover of western
pictures can afford to miss this one.
Buck. despite the successes he has
already scored, achieves still greater
triumph in ITO a Finish" William
Fox placed at his disposal every
thing in the book" that he might
make a real western production. He
furnished him with a story that is
laden with thrills, IS deeply human,
and appealing TO the furthest degree.
He furnished him with a cast that
could not be bettered in a single in
stance, and then he turned him
loose" Buck Jones is cowpuncher
by trade-or at least he followed the
range life for many years prior to his
coming to the silver sheet. His abil
ity as an actor, coupled with his
knowledge of range life fits him ad-
mirably for the Interpretation of the
men of the plains. and he has grown
to be big favorite with the devo-
tees of the adventure and outdoors
stories. ITO a Finish is the story
of lad who found himself pitted
against a horde of desperate crooks.
He fights to finish-fights the good
fight of right against might, and
Wits out IN the emu. "A pretty To-
nance is woven into the story which
serves to heighten the appeal to a
remarkable extent. The comedy on
the program features Joe Rock. 1t
is styled 1.-The Pot Roast" Tomor-

ADJUSTMENTS
''S|M|L|N' THROUGH
At RIAL To SATURDAY

A veritable jewel in fits scenic
beauty, perfect photography that
stands out on the screen with the
clearness of a cameo a remarkable
example of wondrous lighting effects,
an artistic glorious epic, flawless no
matter from what standpoint it is
Judged. "Smilin' Through" First Ma
ti6naPs supreme triumph with Norma
Talmadge as the star, starts its en-
gagement at the Rialto tomorrow,
an engagement which from all indi-
cations will indeed set a new stand
ard for picture presentation locally.
The very nature of the story re-
quired the very ultimate in advanced
Photographic science. This Is re-
Elected in the remarkable moonlight
scenes, the soft focus effects reached
in many instances, effects which
serve to accentuate the mood in a
most emphatic manner; double expo
sure which sounds a new note in this
department of the cinema, and interi-
or settings delicate in their beauty,
haunting and unforgettable in their
sheer tone of idealism and tender
ness.
eSmilin' Through" was magnifi-
cent on the stage. It's record will
remain uneclipsed, and through many
years it win stand as one of the most
sublime dramas the speaking art has
ever received. On the screen, it be-
comes a positive revelation. All the
wonder and beauty of the stage YER
sion has been incorporated in the
filmed adaptation, with the wonder
full added value of Norma Talmadge's
all encompassing art, an art which
reaches heights she has never before
attained. The production gives her
the dual characterizations of Moon
yeen" and Kathleen" the time COW
ering a lapse of years, linking the
past with the present in a story that
for tenderness and soul stirring ap-
peal is today reYered as has been no
drama in years. Every foot of the
feature brings out some new phase of
Norma Talmadge's histrionic suprem-
acy--each mood a study-each scene
a tableau-each tableau an epic of
beauty. 1t is a registration unique in
screen annals, portraiture unexam-
pied and Incompatible.
+Smilin' Through" through its
fascinating element of humanness,
touches everyone of the emotions. 1t
reaches amazing heights in its pow
erful drama, it smaSheS all the ira
ditions of the screen in its grace of
movement from past to present, it is
dynamic in many of its climaXes,
sefenely tender in others, invades the
realm of tragedy, registers pathos
that is genuine in its depth, and yet
through all the various shades and
wfims and moods, it never for a sim
gle instant loses the import of its
central theme, nor the epoehal mes
sage it brings, that of the all-con-
quering influence of pure and sincere
love.
A particularly brilliant cast of
players surrounds the star in this
production. This list includes Harri-
son Ford Wyndham Standing, Alec
b. Francis, Miriam Battista, Glenn
Hunter. Grace Griswold and Eugene
Lockhart.
