George Thurston, famous designer.
To utilize modern research work
ITO the full, says Thurston, capital
ships would have to be advanced to

Z But, If this limitation must be re-

armament for these ships, with q
speed exceeding thirty knots, would
consist Of three sixteen-inch guns,
triple mounted on O barbette for

ASK
PROTECTION Of
FISHING
Charge Control by Packers
Deprives People Of
Food Supply.

The big packers are controlling
the fishing industry Of Alaska and
are depriving settlers and natives
Of that territory of their food sup
ply and only source OF revenue.
Delegate Sutherland Of Alaska. de-
clared today in support OF the
Alaskan fisheries bill, to regulate
the size and character OF nets to
be used in Alaskan river ana other
fishing waters.
Strong opposition to the legisla-
ton was offered by the packers,
who claim reduction in size and
abandonment Of certain types of
nets now in use would be harmful
to the business. They deny present
nets are destructive OF fish runs,
as Sutherland claimed.
Friends Of the packers In the
House are holding the radio control
bill before Congress to delay action
on the fisheries legislation, while
pressure Is being brought upon
Sutherland to accept changes in
his statute.
Under the House calendar rule
the merchant marine committee has
control Of time, it's first bill being
the radio control legislation and
the second that pertaining to Alas
kan fisheries. Although there is
little opposition to the radio bill, 1t
has been debated at length and was
to come up for more argument to-
day to hold back the fisheries
statute.
Missionaries and influential resi-.
dents Of Alaska are behind Suther-
land in his fisheries bill. They
went before the merchant marine
committee in the appeal for net
regulation. They bore out the state
ment natives and settlers Of Alaska
are suffering because OF operations
of the packers.
The packers retaliated by carry
ing the fight to the floor Of the
House. It was indicated strong op-
position win continue until the bill
is made more satisfactory to the
packing industry.

An
Headquarters Of Moonshine
Band Is Scene of Tragic
Crime.
By international News Service.

ONEONTA, N. Y, Jan. 31.-As
strange as the widest imaginative
tale OF Edgar Allan Poe is the story
unfolded here recently by Otsego
county authorities, following an in.
vestigation into the strange death
Of John Chase. an aged retainer re-
siding at the Hartwick township
home Of Ira Green.
Investigation, the authorities say,
showed:
A drunken revelry at the Green
farm, known locally as ''the Moon
shine Farm of Christian HILL" was
brought to a dramatic and tragic
conclusion when Cecil Green picked
up the sodden form Of John Chase
and, carrying him outside, threw
him In the watering trough.
Affair Kept Secret.
Later. they said, Green picked up
Chase, BY that time frozen stiff,
carried him inside and thawed the
icy mantle from his dead body with
boiling hot water.
The circumstances surrounding
the death of Chase were kept Secret
for a few days, but Coroner Nor
man w. Getman finally learned Of
the affair and, after conducting q
thorough investigation ordered the
body OF the dead man removed to
the morgue at Coopertown, and had
Cecil Green, Ira Green, William
Dingman and George Hecox arrest
ed on open charges.
Later Anthony Martinus, a Hart
wick farmer, from whom five gal
Ions of moonshine is alleged to
have been purchased just before
the tragic party, was arrested on
a charge of violating the -Mullan-
Gage act.
Manslaughter Charge.
A charge Of granddaughter was
placed against Cecil Green after
Sheriff Williams and District At.
torney Adrian A. Pierson took state
ments from all who were present
at the orgy.

Ira Green dwells has long been

GLASS HhiR

Glass hair is absolutely the mode
among the most stylish women of
the style centers. 1t is q palliative
for bobbed hair, which is absolutely
impossible Tor evening wear, the die
tators say. A woman who still wears
her hair short in daytime may slip
a glass wig over the natural hair at
night, and then. having colored her
ears a deep tangerine shade. she is
quite ready for the evenings pro-
gram. The glass lair was certain adj
vantage over natural hair. 1t is. not
easily musscd M. and it doesn't re-
Quire patting and fixing after each
dance. IN fact, it is said to be danger
Gus to try to rearrange glass hair. AS
well try to dress into a new style the
quilts upon the fretful porcupine.
The cake-eater. who was such n fea-
ture of our drug store facades a few
months ago. has gone out of style. He
passed along with the flapper. But
this class wig invention ought to be a
great temptation to the cake1eater to
return. just for 2 brief season. How
charming he would look in a shining
glass wig!
The preacher, who summed up the
whole world as n mere hOdge-podge
of vanity. had never seen glass hair
and tangerine ears. but doubtless he
had seen other foibles that come to the
same thing. For .he world of frippery
has not changed much since man came
out of the jungle.-Wichita Eagle.

Of her hous,, with her arms extended,
and to walk thus n distance of about
100 yards on the moor in front of her
cottage. She suddenly folded her
arms as if about an object an fell in

Later it was established that about
that exact moment, her husband had
been drowned at sea.

she told him also of the existence Of
n picture of three women, taken by
the seashore. One of the women, now
n spirit, was supposed to be commune

Mr.. Bird recalled no such picture at
the time, but upon his return TO
America, his mother verified its ex-
istence.
1t was picture of his grandmother
and two of his women relatives taken
by the seashore. He attributed this to
the workings of telepathy. tb, explain

AS far as physical phenomena as
the result of spirit action is concerned,
he holds n different view. Thr scien-
tific American offered $500 to the
first medium who produced psychic
phenomena. Only two have claimed
the reward and both have been proved
to have frauds in their seances before
the committee.

One was Valentine. Unknown to
him, the committee installed an cleo
trio apparatus under his chair. As
long as the medium retained his seat,
the contact was unbroken and n light
in the next room which he did not
know was there, was burning. A die
taphone was also installed. Checking
up the records of seances, Mr.. Bird
found that when the medium pro.
duced physical phenomena, invariably
he was out of his seat.
