LOW WAFER HAS
 DELAYED BOATS
 UP YUKON RIVER

DAWSON, June 7-Lower water levels at the head of Lake Labarge has delayed what otherwise would have been the earliest steamer arri- vals recorded at Dawson. Although the ice has been out of the lake for ten days, the first steamers from Whitehorse did not reach Daw- son until yesterday, the delay being due to the scarcity of water at the Labarge bar. A crossing was finally made by floating the boats over the bar with light cargoes and reloading them later.
 Half of the winters output of Mayo silver ore already has been transported down the Stewart river, in which stream there remains plen- ty of water. About five thousand tons Of ore now awaits fransporJa- tion down the Yukon from Stewart City to Nenana, from which latter place it will be shipped over the Government Railroad, enroute to the shelter.
 The frs launch of the season from Nenana reached Dawson Mon day night.
 The Yukon legislature convened yesterday, the opening of the ses- sion having been delayed ten days to await the arrival of the first boat from Whitehorse.

the towns brass band, and the welcoming music made a decided favorable impression upon the vi- sitors. The fire siren also was used to good advantage as the train rounded the curve into town.
 Leaving Nenana, the train made brief stop al the north end of the Tanana river bridge in order that the members of the partymight make close inspection of the mas sive steel structure which was the last bridge of consequence to be erected on the Alaska Railroad, it's construction making the formal com pletion of the big Government en- terprise.
 The personel of the party is substantially as reported in Asso- ciated Press dispatches at the time the Cambria sailed from Seattle. Of the original party, Congressman Martin R. Madden and wife, of H. linois, dropped out before the Cam bria reached Seattle; Mrs. Timber lake, wife of Congressman Charles B. Timberlake, of Colorado, was ta- ken i'll on the way north from Pa mama and remained in Oregon. with friends. pending the return of the party. Congressman Daniel F. Anthony, of Kansas, left the party al San Francisco. having been de- tained by businses but his daughter continued the journey to Alaska. Congressman Charles F. Curry, of California, spent one day with the party, after which he was ordered home by his doctor. Nearly all the members of the party were i'll for time after leaving Panama, as a result Of indiscreet indulgence in tropical fruits, but the majority of them had recovered by the time the Cambria reached Seattle and all of them are now enjoying the best of health in Alaska.
 In addition to Congressman Me Lafferty, of California, whose name appeared in the original list, the Poppy state is represented on the trip also by Congressman Lee and Barbour.

BERLIN, June 7-Representatives of Germany have handed an amenda- tory reparations note to all interest ed governments, in an effort to reach a satisfactory settlement of the reparations question. The note proposes a system of annuities, with a total payment aggregating approximately 100000 marks annually in case an international loan should not be available for immediate capital payments.

REFORM DIRECTOR DECLARES PRISON TREATMENT DISGRACE

WASHINGTON, June 7-Dr. Hastings H. Hart, director of the Child Caring Department of the Russell Sage Foundation, speaking before the Polcewomen's Section Of the National Conference on Social Work, which has just met in the Capital of the Nation, finds that treatment of women prisoners in county jaiIs is a disgrace to the country that permits it.. ~
 Dr. Hart said conditions in the treatment of women prisoners are especially. bad in New York, Con necticut. Minnesota, and Ohio. He cited incidents, including one in New Haven, where he said 40 wo- men were kept in the jail without adequate fire protection in their quarters and where shower baths had not been connected with the wa ter supply for two years.
 ''The greatest disgrace to our ci- vilization in America is the county jail said Dr. Hart. "The brightest prospect of redeeming penal condi- tions comes from the entrance of women into active service in police and prison work. With them have come a new rule of kindness, and we have learned that brute force is not needed in the handling of either delinquen: men or women in jails <...:..:... .3~*: ::"

 CONTEMPT FOR PAPER MARKS

HAMBURG, June 6-Contempt for Germany's depreciated paper money seems to grow daily, and the public has lost sense of it's value.

 Keep them" the man remarked gruffly, What can I do with 500 marks?"
 Although 500 marks at the present rat of exchange are worth only about two American cnts, they are the cost of two street car rides in German cities,a will buy three stamps for letters mailed within the German republic.

LANDS PLEADS FOR MORE
 BASEBALL LOTS FOR BOYS

CHICAGO, June "A vacant lot where boys can engage in a game of baseball is the best insurance pol icy ob.ainable, Kenesaw Mountain Landis baseball commissioner, be- Eeves.
 The former federal jurist, always with a deep interest in boys, said recently that too few cities and towns have made the proper provi- sion for boys playground The av- craze boy, he said. may not have a very great sense of justice, but no one has a keener sense of injustice.
 Tt is an injustice not to provide spot where boys can enjoy them selves at will and with the know ledge they are not victims of in justice" Commissioner Landis said.
 ''One of my chief reasons for my interest in baseball is that I have always had a deep interest in boys. Baseball must justify the confidence of the boy of today.
 Every boy, if he is normal, has la hero and in times of peace that hero is an athlete. In 99 cases out of 100 that athlete is a baseball player, .... ....
 ''To this hero, the boy builds ar altar in his heart and keeps the candles burning. Unconsciously or otherwise he turns to that altar day after day.
 Tt is my desire that the figure on that altar shall not totter, bur always shall be worthy of the faith placed in it."
 In Chicago, with its thickly popu, lated districts, Judge Landis said he had frequently watched baseball games played in the streets, with street cars speeding in one direction and motor trucks in another so that the Kids" had to stop their games every minute in order to allow g street car to pass over home plate
 Conditions like that should not exist" he declared. Boys should be provided with place to enjoy themselves. It's the best insurance in the world against crime, mischief and disease"
