GRANT MEMORIAL
 p ASSES SENATE
 WITHOUT CHANGE
Fish Memorial, Conforming Federal Fish Reserve Pol-
 icy Passes the Senate.

After an amendment seeking to remove the reference to elective of ficials had been defeated, the Cham berlin substitute rejected, the Senate this morning by a unanimous vote passed the Grant Fish Memorial. It passed in the exact form in which it came up from the lower House and is ready for transmittal to the Governor as soon as it can be properly shaped
 The memorial caused little debate and all of that was on the amend ment which was offered by Mir. Chamberlin, who moved to strike out the clause reading:
 Your memorialists beg to submit that there is no elective official authorized to speak for the people of the Territory of Alaska, except the members of this Legislature and the Delegate to Congress from this Territory"
 Calls It Oversight.
 MT. Dimond defending the amendment, said it was obviously an oversight on the part of the House which could have had no reason for singling out the Attorney General in such manner. he being the only elective official to whom 1t could refer. Nothing was to be gained by the provision, he con tended as there is no political campaign in progress for which it might be nsed as ammunition. He said he could find no ground at all for "this backhanded slap at the Attorney General"
 Means What It Says.
 MT. Dunn, declaring his opposi- tion to the amendment, said that the provision referred to nothing but the memorial itself. After all, he added, this is nothing but a memorial and is not worth the ef- fort 1t would take to change it. He could see no harm in the para graph. which he declared, Actually expresses just what it means"
 Mr. Chamberlin, disgressing from the amendment, declared he be- lieved his own memorial expressed the sentiment of the people of Alaska for home control of Alaska natural resources more adequately than the Grant memorial and served notice that he would offer an amend ment to any bill or memorial that might be introduced voicing that sentiment.
 MT. Aver, who voted against the amendment, declared it was evi- dent that the memorial was going to pass without change and as long as that was true. the sooner it was out of the way the better. 1 Call for Record.
 MT. Chamberlfn called for al record vote on the amendment which was supported by Aver, Di- mond. Dunn and Snodgrass. The was defeated by vote of six to two, Dimond and Chamber lin voting yea, and Aver. Aldrich, Brown, Dunn, Hunt and Snodgrass nay.
 There was no. debate on the final passage of the memorial the vote for passage being unanimous.
 It declares the creation of fish reserves unjustifiable and indefen- sible and demands their immediate abolishment and that the fisheries be turned over to the Territory for ;ontrol and management. s

PHEASANT IS
INDICATOR OF
EARTHQUAKE
No Seismograph Necessary
When Birds About, Says
Scientist
SENSITIVE TO EARTH
Animals Sensitive to Trem.
mors Before HUI
mans

Washington, Aug. 22.-Have you a
little neutrality-suspicious. in your
home? If not you should get a
pheasant, says Prof. F. Omori, a
Japanese seismologist writing in a
recent bulletin Of the Imperial Earth
quake Investigation Committee, for
this bird is exceedingly sensitive to
earth tremors even when so slight as
to be undesirable by humans.
Observation of pheasant in Japan
during a period Of about three years,
in which % earthquakes were record
ed on delicate instruments, showed
that it crowed either before, or dur
ing, every slight shock. In "a per-
cent of the cases the bird crowed be-
fore the scientists machine recorded
the quavers, beating the instrument
by as much as eight seconds. In 20
percent of the occurrences the bird
crowed simultaneously with sensible
earthquake motion; and in another
20 percent of cases the bird crowed
when the motion was too slight to be
sensible to the observer. In only
five cases did the pheasant crow af-
ter the motion was recorded, and on
ly once did he fail to crow at all.
The keen perception, of earthquake
occurrence by the bird is no doubt
due to it's acute sense, by which it is
enabled mechanically to feel the
small vibrations in the preliminary
stage of the seismic motion, Prof.
Omori says. It is known that earth
shocks are preceded by preliminary
tremors that are so slight as to be
hardly recordable. That the phea-
SAINT should be very sensitive and
take alarm at the slightest disturb
ance. either natural or artificial, is
probably a condition necessary to it's
existence, the scientist declares, as
the bird with its long pointed tail
and comparatively small wings, has
no high flying capacity and nestles
on the ground among the thick under
growth.
1t was observed, however, that the
pheasant did not take alarm and
crow when the ground was shaken by
the, passing of cars, heavily loaded
trucks or wagons. or other artificial
In Japan, Prof. Omori writes, there
is general belief that pheasants
perceive earthquakes much earlier
than humans. Certain other animals
show symptoms Of terror at the time
OF, or previous to-. an earthquake, he
adds. and cites several occasions
when the musical croaking of frogs
in q pond ceased just before or at
the moment of sensible tremor. If
the shock be strong there is caused
general noisiness. cocks Growing
and dogs barking.
A certain abbot was riding a horse
near town that was visited by a
strong quake. when suddenly the an
imal dropped flat on the ground. The,
rider, who had not yet perceived the
shock, attempted to urge the horse to
his feet, but all his whipping was in
vain until the shaking was over.

England Spent s29,oOo,oOO
In Occupation of Turkey


London, Aug. 22.-It has cost Eng.
land 29,115,O0O lbs. sterling for the &C.
cupation Of Constantinople and the
adjacent area since the Armistice in
1918, Premier Baldwin told the House
of Commons recently.
These figures. he added, did not
represent the extra cost to the tax
payer of the occupation, since the
greater part of the occupying forces
would otherwise have been employed
elsewhere. The extra cost was esti-
mated at 100000 lbs. sterling. The
Premier further stated that the AL
lied governments have decided to
forego. any claim against Turkey for
the cost of occupation of Turkish
territory.

LONDON PRESS
: PRAISES US.
EFFICIENCY
American Tells of Benefits
To Be Gained From
English
TRAFFIC EXAMPL e

London, Aug. 21.-London news
papers have contained many ar
ticles of late about things that are
better done in America. and espe-
cially in New York, than they are
here. Englishmen have been told
in effect by the writer's of these
articles that they should not con-
slider themselves properly educat-
ed until they have been to Amer
lea and found out how much they
don't know.
And now by way of contrast, it
would seem, an American business
man, w. s. Ashby, tells in the
Daily Chronicle of various things
he has seen here which are much
better done than in New York.
Especially does he commend the
handling of the street traffic in
London as compared with New
York's way Of doing it.
'The first thing to impress one
on arriving from New York." he
said, sis the quiet and absence OF
hurry AT first thought one might
surmise that the English are slow,
and We have had enough reports
to that effect to warrant our
thinking so.
But first impressions, while
vivid, are wrong.
There is an absence of hustle
and noise, but no appreciable sac
rifice Of speed.
AT the crossing there is no
shrilling of traffic officers whis-
ties. no banking Of pedestrians on
the curb, no stopping of vehicular
traffic for blocks.
1.-The traffic officer is in the
midst of it all and is busy every
moment. He stands there, calm,
deliberate, almost in a detached
sort Of way, but there Is precious
little that misses his eye.
Instead Of holding up traffic at
long intervals, the officer seems to
keep it moving along in all direc-
tons at once, and at many of Lon
don's corners the all directions is
well used, for streets radiate in
several directions. He directs
traffice, rather than stops it and
starts it.
"And here is another thing about
the English-their courtesy. They
are anxious to help, and please
and thank you are frequently
used words in the language.
"The bus conductor thanks you
for your fare, the waiter thanks
you for you rtip, the Lift man
thanks you when you give him the
number of your floor.
"The London policeman knows
his London and directs you
promptly, politely. and accurately,
without waste of words.
1.-The Londoner does not push,
crowd or hustle, but he knows
where he is going, and will gladly
help you get where you are going
in an orderly, comfortable and
quick way.
$50 if one were to check up on
the question I would say that for
all the .Londoner's apparent de-
liberation, he is moving towards
his destination as quickly far less
New Yorker, and making far less
hubbub about it.
1T is this quiet efficiency that
is misleading, and is so often mis-
taken for slowness."

Fake Stock Is Principal

Washington, Aug. 21.-The Unit
ed States government takes con-
siderable care in protecting the
bank accounts of its citizens, and
many and varied are the schemes
it is called upon to use in order
that the gullible will not lose their
savings of years. But perhaps the
most interesting of all is the
method of the Post Office Depart
ment, which issues fraud orders
to eliminate from the mails the
circulars and advertisements of
the get-rich-quick swindlers.
How much this system actually
saves investors during year it is
almost impossible to estimate. In
one recent instance, as the result
of single fraud order. $1,000 let
tiers, each believed to contain a dol
lar bill, were intercepted and re-
turned to the senders.
When investigators of the Post
Office suspect an, individual or
company of sending through the
mails letters or advertising matter
of a fraudulent nature, inspectors
are given the case to gather evil
dence. Should suspicious be back
ed by facts, the persons are cited
to give a>feason why a fraud order
should not be issued against them.
A hearing is conducted and, II the
charges are sustained, all post
masters are ordered to return to
the sendefs all mail addressed to
the person or company in ques-
ton. Those not bearing return
addresses find their way to the
Dead Letter Office, and the money
enclosed Is turned into the nation
al treasury. Very often the fraud
order Is followed by court action
against the offenders. .
