DOLLAR GASOLINE HOLDS NO
 FEARS FOR PROFESSOR LEWIS

EVANSTON. H.. March 29.-It Is not probable that some hlrtherto un- known substance will be discovered as substitute for gasoline, accord ing to the opinion of w. Lee Lewis. famed inventor and professor of chemistry al Northwestern Uni lyersity-
 "The attention of scientific men and of the industries is being direct ed rather toward extracting more gasoline from crude petroleum and utilization Of low grade sources such as the o.l-bearing shales and sand stones," said Professor Lewis. Rapid progress is being made along the first line, that Is. in the development of so-called cracking processes which increase the yield of gasoline from crude petroleum I think there Is a great promise in the so-eailed alumi- nium chloride process. If one dis tills 10 gallons of kerosene with alum mann chloride he obtains some six or seven gallons of gasoline. The diff ficulty Is at present to recover the

Dream Proves
 Accurate; Wife Loses Husband

PHILADELPHIA, March PA wifes dream that her husband had fallen from ship and drowned was a true one, it was proved, when the widow of Oscar Lawrence, of Glou cester City N. J., identified the body of her husband in the morgHe of Coroner Drewes at Darby. PeA1 . the eve Of it's burial.
 Lawrence. who was 51 years old was employed at Hog Island when he disappeared February 13. No trace of him could be found by searchers, and Mrs. Lawren.e in sisted that he had drowned the way she saw in dream.
 His body was found in Darbs Greek and taken in charge by the Coroner. who read of Mrs. Lawrence's dream, in Philadelphia newspaper He communicated with Gloucester city police and the mystery of Lawrence 5 disappearance soon was solved

aluminium chloride so it may be used over again. Chemists will solve that problem soon, however.
 Oil-bearing shales are already be- ing utilized for gasoline and if the price goes up. will become an i'm portant industrial source.
 "As for the prediction of dollar gasoline recently made in Congress. don't scrap your automobile yet. When a Congressman gets scientific he's like Polyhcmus in love. When the price passes 40 or 30 cents per gallon. alcohol. which can be made for 25 cents per gallon, can be used. The 18th amendment didn't cover automobiles.
 These are the lines of progress: Better yields from present petrol cum sources. npilzation of low grade sources such as shades. better car buretors and less wasteful engines. and, finally. if it comes to cases, a switching to known combustbles such as alcohol. l can't conceive of any miraculous solution outside of the above lines"

BERLIN WOMEN IN LOVE PACT; AGREE TO POISON HUSBANDS
 THEN UNITE, COURT IS TOLD

BERLIN, March 23--A psychopa- thological' drama was unrolled before Berlin Criminal Court when scores of the 600 love letters beaween two women, who. it is alleged, agreed to poison their husbands that they might live together, were read at their trial.
 Frau Ella Kle:a and Frau Margaret Nebbe are the women on trial, with Frau Nebbes mother named as ac cesS0gp. Frau kle.n. officials say, poisQp.,d her bus band for weeks until he finally died Frau Nebbe's hus- band sscaped, it is declared, because cIairv0yant gave To her a secret poison that turned out to be a harm less powder
 Writing to her "only loved one, little mouse Frau kle.n is alleged to have said
 ''It is night and am in bed. fever, walking the floor. He has such pains that he wants to climb the wall. But it does not matter. I will not let him slip through my fingers.
 Another letter said: To-day l gave him a strong potion and it gave him Ilalpitation of the heart. was to place congresses on his heart but I put them under his arm
 A letter said to have been written by Frau Nebbe to Frau Klein read: Dear Love: Do be cautious lest it be discovered The scoundrels are not worth that we should suffer for it."
 Another from Mrs. Nebbe said: If you had only given him enough So that it would be over. If only he does not go and have himself ex. amincd. Mother and l are so worried lest it be discovered
 ''If once he was only so far gone that he could not leave the house if something should happen to him outside he would be taken to hos pital and then fl might be found out" ]"
 To this Frau Klein answered: "If the pig would only die today. Twice he got something in his coffee
 In desperation, Mrs. Nebbe finally wrote: "Get enough of the stuff and when he comes home again drunk give him sufficient so he never will get on his feet again.
 When Klein finally died, his wife wrote to Mrs. Ncbbe: Happy tid- ings"
 And Frau Nebbe answered: How happy l am! I had to laugh to my self"

NEW CHAIRMAN
 OF ALASKA R. R.
 MAKES A REPLY
Colonel Steese Makes State ment Concerning that
 Made by Col. Mears.
DEPARTMENTS IN FIGHT ONE VERSION OF AFFAIR
Scheme to Consolidate AL aska Road Commission
 with R.R. Laid Bare.

ANCHORAGE. March 29.--When asked fer a statement re-Colona Mears's statement that he was in ignorance of contemplated change in the administration of the Alaska Railroad, Colonel James C.. Steese, new Chairman of the Alaskan En- gineering Commission. professed having no previous warning of the change.
 Those in close touch with the Commissions activities see in the episode a clash between the War and Interior Departments.
 Last summer an emissary of Colonel Mears asked the Chamber of Commerce to further move for the consolidation of the Alaska Road Commission of which Colonel Steess was chairman, to be merged 30 as the Mearss organization would ab- sorb the Road Commission.
 It Is believed this action caused I conflict to open. re aazs
 Secretary Fall and Secretary Weeks became involved in the pro
 
 Fall holding the supreme powers.
 IL is known that Colonel John C. Gotwals, vice chairman of the Alaska Road Commission, while on reconnaissance work in the Kan -ishra country. also selected a rail- way spur route. II was announced there was eventually necessity for suca feeders.
 In opposition to these views of Col. Steese and Gotwals that spurs and wagon roads be embraced in the general policy of the railroad, Colonel Melrs announced he was sent to Alaska to build a railroad and nothing else.
 The general sentiment here is that as the railroad was built by Colonel Mears. he should have re- maincd until after the golden spike was driven about the first week in June.

DENVER, March -J.-Dstrict At torney VanCise announced today that the entire jury in the case of Tom Clarke former chief deputy sheriff. and three bunko defendants, would be summoned sometime today before the grand jury.

FISHERIES BILL
 IS INTRODUCED
 IN LOWER HOUSE
Foster Sponsors Fish Bill Identical with Britt Bill
 of 1921 Session.
LEGISLATURE URGED TO
 ACCEPT OFFER OF BONE
Believes 1t Duty of Lawmak- CTS to Present Concrete
 Plan to Congress.

The frs sep indicating accept ance by the Legislature of the invi- tation of Gov. Scott C. Bona to it to present to Congress a solution of .he Alaska fisheries problems in the shape of legislation was taken in the House of Representatives this morning when MT. Foster presented a complete fish bill with a concur rent resolution which requests that the bill be made a law by Congress. The measure is virtually identical with the Britt fisheries bill which was passed by the Senate in 1921 and failed of passage in the House.
 "I am convinced it is the duty of the Legislature to respond in good faith to the Governors suggestion that it enact a fisheries law giving a square deal to everyone concerned with the assurance that it will re- ceive the support of the Administra- tion," said MT. Foster, commenting on the re-introduction of the meas ure. ''The bill in it's present shape probably will not be acceptable to everyone, but it offers starting point, something concrete from which an acceptable code may be evolved he added.
 AssaiIs Present System
 The resolution draws attention to the everlasting of the waters of the North Pacific, depletion of salmon streams in Alaska, steady decline of prosperity in the salmon canning industry and points out the made quacy of the present fishing laws. It declares that regulation of the fish cries of Alaska, even with the best of intentions. can never be adminis- tered from Washington by officials
