WASHINGTON, Aug. Sin 1921
my plan for the restoration of the
Alaskan salmon fisheries was dis
missed as the idea Of a crank Now
Secretary of Commerce Hoover has
adopted it, lock, stock and barrel"
With his jubilation tinged with re-
greet that the matter had been so long
delayed, Henry w. Elliot, authority
on Alaska, today commented on ca
Dled reports that Secretary Hoover
may ask Congress to enact legislatio On
that will save the rapidly dwindling
Alaskan aslmon.
Elliot's acquaintance with Alaskan
affairs dates back to 1866, when he
was a member of an exploring party
sent out by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company to seek a route fer
telegraph wires to Siberia The party
was called back several months b.
fore the United States bought Alaskan

cable in 1861, the plan for a trans
Alaskan route was Immediately aban-
doned.
Commissioner to Alaska
In 1924 and again in 1890 FL
lot was delegated by Congress as a
special commissioner to report on
the fur seals and salmon of Alaska.
He is at present collaborating with
the delegate to Congress from Alska,
Dan A. Sutherland, in preparing bills
to be submitted to the Sixty-Ninth
Congress pertaining especially to the
protection of the seals and salmon.
Elliott's plan for the saving Of
Alaskan salmon, which has now ap-
parently met with Secretary Hoover's
approval, was submitted by him in a
letter to the Department of Commerce
under date Of Nov. 8, 1921, It pro-
vides:
Stop Commercial Fishing
l. Close all commercial fishing of
salmon and export of the same in and
from Alaskan waters by an executive
order for three consecutive years.
2. Make a card index of every.
salmon stream in Alaska, which viii

Widow Dear to People
There was as much sympathy for
her today as there was sorrow over
the passing Of the Nations chieftain.
Never was a Presidents wife dearer
to the people than Mrs. Harding, and
Of the tears that have fallen since he
died, many have been forgotten.
God pity his poor wife" was the
cry that went up more than once as
the train of the dead wended its slow
way among the throngs to Wash
ington.
The funeral train arrived at Wash
ington at 1922 p. N. Of a dark, star
less night. Approaching the capital,
1t moved slowly past thousands of
people from the city who had jour
neyed cut to nearby country towns in
Maryland to be the first from Wash
ington to greet their returning chief.
The train was backed into the sta
ton so the observation car containing
the casket would enter first. A win
dow of the car was removed and the
coffin lifted out by soldiers, sailors
and marines.
Heads Are Barred
President Coolidge, in formal attire,
with Supreme Court Justice Taft,
Secretary Of State Hughes, Secretary
of War Weeks, Secretary of the Navy

great concourse Of the station.
Mrs Harding. on the arm of George

came through first, with her immedi-
ate party. The Marine Band played
slowly and dolefully continuous verses
of Nearer Ny God to Thee" Crowds
that pushed forward at one side of
the course was held back by soldiers
with sparkling bayonets.
The receiving party perspired in the
heavy GREATNESS air of the long
chamber for fifteen minutes, while
the band repeated its dirge, before the
brilliantly uniformed military escort
with the casket appeared at the train
gate.
They marched slowly. taking no
notice Of the new President, who stood
with humbly bowed head The body
was lifted to the black artillery caisson
at the curb. Six big chestnut-brown
horses drew 1t along the line Of march.
No Music Played
There was no music save that of
wheels and hoofs as the cortege rolled
through the crowd-lined silent ave-
nues, piloted by a troop of cavalry.
In the big plaza before the station
dim street lights revealed a panorama
OF thousands of faces, many wet with
tears as the caisson with the casket,
wrapped in the flag, rumblkd by

cession entered Pennsylvania Ave-
Once, when the President and secret
service men were passing close to the

the street. His hat went tumbling
in front of the car. There was a
scurry Of secret service men who
walked with newspaper men a-foot.
and the hat was tossed back into the
crowd.
Down the avenue the caisson clat-
tered into the street car tracks, pass
