Introduces Memorial to Which Opponents
 Can't Object ASKS AID OF CONGRESS Would Have Provision Made Part of Organic
 Act

JUNEAU, April 7-In an effort to of illiterate Indians Representative Foster of Cordova today introduced in the House a memorial requesting Congress to amend the Organic Act of the Territory by adding to it an education qualification for electors, recurring that voters in the Terri tory be required to be able to read and write the English language. In presenting his memorial MT. Foster said that those legislators who had opposed the Foster Literacy Bill on the ground that it was outside the province of the Alaska Legislature should not object to the memorial.
 The Dimond bill increasing the bounty on eagles from fifty cents to one dollar was passed by the House and is now ready for the Governors signature.
 The Dunn memorial requesting the establishment of wireless stations at Wiseman, Haycock, Teller and kotze- bue was killed.
 The Raelson memorial asking for the advancement of the date for con- vening the Legislature to the month of October was passed, as was also the Johnson bill providing that the period for the filing of candidates for the primary elections should end on the first Tuesday in February, and the Daly bill requiring the payment in United States money or checks on the nearest bank in the Territory to all employees in private business
 The Senate passed today the Dl- mond bill amending the Territorial Pharmacy Act to permit unregls- tered pharmacies to dispense cer- tain medicines, and also passed the Dimond bill reducing maximum
 limit on banking loans from fifty to thirty-five per cent of the com bined capital stock and surplus.
 The anticipated contest over trans portation questions developed today when F. H. Knickerbocker, of the Alaska Steamship Company, appear ing before the joint Transportation Committee took stout issue with the Biennial report of Attorney General Rustgard, submitting mass of sta- tistics, rates, mileage profits and an amount of alleged inaccuracies Mir. Knickerbocker stated that since the organization of the Alaska Steam shin Company it had not declared dividend, and had averaged less than six per cent annual profit. Rust gard in his report had asserted that the Company had earned more than 53 per cent annually for the six years preceding 1921. Knickerbocker denied Rustgard's statement that the Alaska lines were the only Amerlc" companies using "ship's option of weight or measurement system.' He gave a list of fourteen companies nneratine in American waters where the same system is effective.

ARMY WORMS ARE NOW
DESTROYING COTTON
Pests Appear in North Alabama
Without Warning and Do
Great Harm to Crops

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Auguts 10.
Coming without warning, Alabama
farmers, especially those in the
Tennessee Valley, have become
alarmed at the ravages of the army
work or cotton caterpillars, accord
ing to reports reaching here. The
new cotton pests works faster than
than the boil weevil. and wherever
it strikes all the foliage is eaten
and only the bare stalks and bolls
are left standing.
In North Alabama, where the
cotton is late the caterpillar is do
ing the most harm. At a meeting
of farmers in Albany-Decatur to-
day it was decided to order several
tons Of calcium arsenate in a eff
fort to combat the pest. At Harts-
ellie, in Morgan county agent Or
dered big supply of poison and
when it arrived at the station, 800
farmers were there to get a share.
Similar anxiety on the part of farm
ers to combat the latest enemy is
reported from other North Alabama
towns.

.PUREBRED HOG PRICES
REACHED LOW LEVELS
Total of 80, 1872 Purebred Swine
Sold During 1922, Accord
ing to Department

ATLANTA. Aug. 10 Sale
prices Of pure bred hogs reached a
very low Level in 1922, according
to recent survey made by the
United States Department of Ag-
ricuIture.
Analysis Of the reports on the
sale Of 30,382 purebred hogs in
1922 indicates that the purebrea
swine business has offered depres-
sion along with other branches of
agriculture. The reports receiv-
ed present a fairly accurate pic
ture of the business, in the opinion
of department officials, although
obey do not represent a large num-
Der Of animals.
The number of hogs of the five
Breeds on which reports were re-
caiye are: Berkshire, 1852;
Chester White, 1922; Duroc Jersey
1856; Hampshire, 1910; and Po-
land China, 6,232. The average
price received for each breed, in
Guiding all ages and sexes at both
private and auction sales was Berk-
shire, $3057; Chester White $42.72;
Duroc Jersey, 1851; Hampshire,
$4442; and Poland China, $41.94.
Auction sale averages were from
SO to $25 above those sold at
private treaty. This difference, it
is pointed out, is due partly to the
large number of pigs under 8
of age sold privately, where
as auction sales are usually con-
fined largely to more mature ami
mails and involve a large number
of bred gifts, service boars and
and bred sows.
Sales reported at less than $3.50
per head were ommitted in calcuIa-
ting the averages, as sales at such
low figures were net considered to
be legitimate purebred sales. The
highest prices by breeds indicated
by the reports were: Chester
White, $740; Poland China, $500;
Duroc Jersey, $3.50; Berkshire,
$3.50.
Of the 3O,382 hogs reported up
on, 421 brought $3.50 or more.
These were distributed breeds as

COblenz, Jan. 17.-Therc is weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth
among the young women of CObenZ.
Never again after the NankS go home
will visions of the promised land be
50 plentiful on the horizon of these
young women. Never again will they
experience such Kindness and considera-
ton on the part of the male of the
human species. All this cannot be Civ
en- up without n struggle.
1t is a matter of record that four
fraulens appeared at headquarters last
week with requests to be permitted to
marry the same American dOughbOy,
though the record does not show which
of the fair ones won the prize. Fur
thcrmore, this was not an isolated case.
At least 100 out of the 1000 men still
remaining have married recently, it is
said. while 200 more may have the
week. Chaplain McNally admits that
be will be rushed until the last mo-
ment before departure.
Hardly soldier in the entire Amer
lean expedition has failed to register
a solemn promise that he will return
to Coblenz as soon as possible to taste
again the joys Of the Rhineland. One
corporal is heaving melancholy signs
every time he thinks Of abandoning his
snug little billet at Ehrenbretstein
with three servants to cater to his
needs. Another is worrying about the
fate of three trunks full of clothing,
ranging from salt and pepper morn
ing suit to a suit of full evening dress.
A third is wondering how he will get
past the American customs. house with
seven diamond rings bought at bar
gains out of his salary Of $50
month.
Both officers and men sincerely re-
greet the idea of leaving, though as
soldiers they accept their orders with
out criticism.
They have conducted themselves here
as friends and relatives said" a Ger
man resident today. I'VE have no such
feeling for any other Allied army. And
we should like nothing better than TO
get rid of the French and Belgians.
But with the departure of the Ameri-
cans our only consolation has gone"

Openly Defiant OF France.
For the first time since the sige:ng
of the treaty of Versailles, the gov
eminent and the whole people are
showing open defiance Of France. 1t
is really believed here that it will be
question of only a few months be-
fore the French will continue their

is making another feeble attempt to pay

of her attempts in the past TO get

heavy. If she defaults, France will put
other sanctions into effect. possibly oc-
cupying more German territory, as pre-

The effects of the present French
policy may be summed up as fol-
lows:
1-Landslides of public opinion in
favor OF open opposition to the treaty
of Versailles. This change of senti-
ment has strong reactionary and
monarchist under-current because the
Socialists are in favor of an inhonest
attempt to carry out the terms of the
treaty.
Sending German Money Abroad.
2-Scramble among the German
people TO invest and secure all their
capital abroad so as not to be caught
if the French tighten the thumbscrews
on the German people. This money, it
must be remembered, will be available
