DELAY DISTRICT
TRAFFIC
CODE
Members of Special Commit
tee Reported Unable to Agree
on Proposed Rules.

Washington will have to worry
| along without new traffic regula-
tons for the immediate present.
This was decided on at a meeting
of the District Commissioners spe-
cial committee on traffic, headed by
William P. Emo and empowered to
draft new set of traffic regula-
tons, held late yesterday afternoon
at the District building.
Unable to agree on the set of
Regulations" forwarded by Chair
| man Emo to the Commissioners, the
committee made Assistant Corpora
| ton Counsel Ringgold Hart COM
mittee of one to prepare conden-
sation of the present regulations
having to do with safety as distin-
guished from the regulations hav-
ing to do with convenience.
| 1t has not been decided whether
the set Of regulations will super
cede similar ones in the code or
whether they will simply be along
the line of suggestion to be used in
an educational campaign to cut
down traffic accidents.
| The sections of existing regula-
|
report are those which govern
speed of motor vehicles, right-of-
way. parking, crossing at inter
sections and lighting. The report
is expected to be completed late this
| afternoon.
After Hart completes his report,
Chairman Emo will call another
meeting for it's consideration.
The traffic committee, of which
Emo is chairman, started to pre-
pare their report at a meeting on
January 3. Recommendations of
the committee were presented to
the Commissioners and, after being
briefly discussed by the city heads.
were returned to the chairman,
with the request that he call a
conference to give further con-
sheraton to suggestions that had
been offered by members of the
committee.
Some members of the comnittee,
it is said, failed to agree on several
sections of the cede, giving rise
| to rumors that friction existed in
that body.

DENIES KISSING
B|ERCK'S
WIFE
Conkey, Correspondent Named
in Divorce Suit, Tells
of Relations.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9.-La-
verne Conkey. correspondent named
by Harold A Berck in his divorce
suit against his wife, took the
stand before Vice Chancellor Lean
ing in Camden and denied all the
husbands allegations.
He said he was merely a good
friend of both Bierck and his wife
and that Bierck never objected to
his presence and attentions to Mrs.
Bierck He admitted that he had
played ball at the shore with Mrs.
Bierck and that he bathed with
her, but denied ever hugging or
kissing her.
When his wife objected to his
attentions to Mrs. Bierck. Conkey
took her to the Bierck's and they
talked matters over and came to
an understanding. Later Bierck
came to his office and told him
that he had no suspicious of him
and Mrs Bierck and that the latter
was a good wife and mother.
Discovered In Cafe
He admitted that Bierck had
found him and Mrs. Bierck in
screen. He explained that he had
heard gossip about Mrs. Bierck and
himself and that he arranged the
meeting to talk things over.
Bierck had previously testified to
finding the couple together in the
cafe when his wife failed to come
home to get his supper.
Three letters alleged to have been
written to his wife by George Lee,
one Of the men he names in his
suit, were read by Bierck when he
took the stand, but none of these
was discriminatory.
Mr.. Bierck told OF the ''kldnap-
ing of his 7-year old son Harold,
who lives with him in Philadelphia,
after he and his wife separated.
Bierck said that in July of last
year the boy was forcibly taken
away by his wife's brother. He
said the brother drove up to his
home in a machine and carried the
lad away.
Had Borrowed 500
1t was brought out by Lawyer
Carr that Bierck had never once
objected to George Lee and Laverne
Conkey visiting his home while he
and Mrs. Berck were living at
Ventnor. In fact. it was admitted,
by the husband that he had borrowed
500 from Conkey.
Carr also brought out that Mrs.
Conkey had gone to Bierck and
complained OF her husbands at
tention to Mrs. Bierck and that the
latter had admitted she liked him
simply because Conltey had been
good to both she and her husband.

READY TO REPLY
 TO LATEST GERMAN OFFER

LONDON, July 14-Premier Bal dwin, in an address delivered in the house of commons Thursday after noon, announced that France and Italy had been informed that the British government stood ready to assume the responsibility of prepar- ing draft of reply to the latest German reparations offer, the reply to be submitted to the Allies with the least possible delay, with the hope that they would agree to it's term.
 The premier said the British gov ernment invited the sympathy Of the Allies for the proposal, which, he explained, aims solely at the pa- cification of Europe and the recov- cry of an exhaused world. He laid stress upon the fact that there is but one ground for divergence a. mong the powers concerned with the reparations and that is as to the best means to attain the payment of the reparations. He said the Al lies were unchanged in their pur- pose to make Germany pay to the extent of her capacity, but we are conscious, however, as a business nation, that if we ask Germany to pay in excess of her capacity, we shall not succeed"

TREADWELLS ARE DRIVING
 TUNNEL TO TAP KENO ORE

Arrangements are now complete for the pushing of the work on the big Treadwell Yukon tunnel at Keno Hill, and it will be driven as rap idly as possible. The work already is under way says the Dawson News.
 Livingstone Wernecke informed the News that the necessary site is secured and the tunnel will be run at the 600-foo3 level, and will penetrate the hill a distance of about 5000 feet. to tap the rich lode on which the company Is now working. The mouth of the tunnel is to be direct ly down hill from the present camp in time will be moved down to the mouth. It will be several months perhaps before the removal takes place.
 uc hSN NAA444Cis says MI. "C-- necke, will be used both for drain age and for the removal of ore from the mines. He hopes to have it com ple.ed within eight to ten months. The daily progress with the work will depend largely on the nature of the rock encountered. It is hoped to make an average of about thir- teen feet daily, which would require a little more than eigf: months for the total work.
 There IS a possibility of encount- ering new ore veins with the tunnel while driving for the main vein on which the company is now working.

after spending the winter at the Little Diomede's Island and the mainland of Siberia says the Nome Nugegt.
 On October 10th, 1922. Reverend N. F. Hover, a missionary of the Evangelical Christian Church, ac- companied by Mir and Mrs. J. A. Earnest, Hans Olsen and six natives left Nome in the small schooner New York for the Little Diomede's Island. It was the purpose of the expedition to proceed to the Little Diodeme's and there establish a mis- sionary for the dissemination of the teachers of Christ
 Having heard that natives on the Island were without sufficient food supplies the local Bureau of Edu- cation had intended to send 8 large outfit of food stuffs on the New York but the supplies of the Mis- Eionaries took so much space that very little room was left for the Bureau supplies, and accordingly but three fourths of ton was talk en. It was understood between Ihe missionaries and the Bureau theI the New York would later go to Cape Prince of Wales and there pro cure enough extra supplies to tide over the Diomedes natives.
 As the New York approached the Islands the anchor was lost and the boat drifted ashore, but no particu- lar damage CT loss was sustained It was soon realized that the winter had so far advanced that 70 go over to Cape Prince of Wales was impos- sible and the party made ready to winter on the Island
 Native food was scarce thruout the winter and the blubber for fuel purposes was difficult 70 obtain {; there was no fresh meat and much distress was in evidence. The mis- sionaries gladly gave up all they could spare, keeping just enough to meet their most meager needs. Thru the lack Of blubber for fuel the na- tiTes were forced to consolidate their living quarters and so con- serve their scsnty fuel supply.
 As spring approached living con ditions improved. The missionary party had plenty ammunition and their native members were al good hunters and all turned in to as sist the community obtain food and fuel condition became easier. Seal and valrus made their appearance and food became plentiful No flour sugar and other civilized foods were available, but the natives thrived nevertheless.
 During the winter Mr. Hover at- tempted to hold regular sessions of school but the weather became too severe and the effort was abandoned Religious services were held regu- larly and were well attended. Ma tiyes from the Big Diodemes would come to attend the Sunday service: and they too were assisted by the missionaries in obtaining enough food Mir Hover stated that whilt living in the United States the Lrtle Diomedes, he was enabled t work in Asia, the Big Dioemdes thru natives coming to his mission
 Rev. Hover accomplished some thing that will have a great efee upon future relations with the peo pie of Alaska and Siberia. He es tablished literary precedent in tha he has created an alphabet consist ing of Latin, Russian and Armenial characters, so combined that tn many difficult sounds of tn Eskimo language are easily ar ticuiated.

 From Traders of Far North

beria going to East Cape. Diff eulties were encountered due to ice conditions but safe landing was accomplished.
 At New OsLum. near East Cape, is what is likely the largest Eskimo village in the world and until very recently it was uncontaminated by whites. even traders failed to find a foot hold there. The natives liv- ed in well constructed homes and were well satisfied in their isolation Now the Soviet has sent represen- tatives into the country and the will lage has been over run by them, everything is under Russian domi- nation, showing that the Soviet government is reaching outpos:s of the Russian possessions
 Soviet representatives met the New York party and invited them to land and make rhmeslves at home. From Holy Cross to Kolyma the country is now under the jurisdic- Ion of the Soviet with Theodore Karief the Acting Governor. It is understood that Alexa fer Karief brother of the governor is the Si- berian representative of the Hudson Bay Co.
 Governor Karieff was very friend ly to the missionaries and took the party to his headquarters and treat ed them kindly. A military com mander of the Soviet staff also me- the party and invited them to come to Whalen for a visit. MT. Hover complied and was taken on s private dog sled. Governor Kar- ief accompanied the party. The trip, while but 20 miles long was a difficult one to accomplish as tae way was rough and open water ire quently encountered, but ;ilaly was accomplished with out serious scei- dent. Upon arrival al Whalen Rev. Hover was met by a former presi- dent of the Soviet Committee al Anadyr, who $ now Secretary to 1 Governor Karief. Rev. Hover was asked his mission in Siberia and was informed that the missionaries came to teach the principles of Christian ity and not Churchanity. This me! with the approval of the Russians and Hover was told 10 proceed a: he thought fit While al Whaler news was brought that Russian at new Oskum had been killed and the party was requested to return to the village When MT. Hover re turned to the village he learned that one of the Soviet officers hac taken exception to a cert in remars that reflected upon the Soviet re gime and had shot and killed fel low officer. -*.
 The shooting occurred at tho front door of tae building where MT. and Mrs. J. A. Ernest were staying and the murdered man fel at the very feet of Mrs Earnest An experience that certainly dis eouraged further missionary wori for the lady.
 While in Siberia MT. Hover wa informed that the Silver Wave, Is kum, Blue Sea and Belinda-ai trading schoOners-had been takel in charge by the Soviet goyernmen and a guard placed aboard. Tn crew members were allowed to g ashore but were told not 70 attemp 70 leave the country. The actio, by the Soviet was the result of th traders ignoring the license and ta laws as laid down by the Soviet.
