CALLING MEETINGS
Islamic Associations Throughout India Are Being Hurriedly Summoned To 
 Consider CaIiph.

i London. March 7.-Meetings of the Islamic associations are being hur- riedly summoned throughout India, says the Calcutta correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, to consider the ac- ton of the Turkish government in abolishing the caliphate at Constant nople. Those bodies which have met have made indignant protest at what they consider an outrage of their faith. Islam. they say, is faced with serious crisis which can only be solved by a plebiscite of the entire Moslem world.
 The correspondent quotes the Ben gal minister Ghuznayi as saying that Turkey has wounded Moslem senti- ment and violated Moslem tradition, and consequently forfeited the sym pathy of NIohammedans throughout the world. Ghuznavi looks to King Hussein of the Hedjaz to maintain the institution and dignity of the cali- phate.

Senator Plays Those Who Make Much of Coolidge 7elegrams

Washington, March 7.-Declarins that he had no sympathy with the character of debate which the senate had heard In the past six weeks Sem a,or Lodge, during his debate yester- day With Senator Harrison regarding the Mclean telegrams, said in his opinion it had lowered the stand ards of that body
 Not single fact has been dis closed" he said, which reflects in the slightest upon. the president. I have known his public and private life throughout, and in both his ca reer has been without a blemish. He entered office under particularly try Ing conditions, with a cabinet not of his choosing, and with policies m op- eration with the formation of which he had no part.
 'He will be as prompt in punishinr any misdoing as any man in. the chamber. He has done nothing to justify personal attack of any kind. Hes entitled to all the respect that the congress can give him. He will in all probability be candidate of one of the two parties for the presidency. I believe he will be the next president of the United States.
 II think it is little short of outrage to bring the presidents name in here in a place where he cannot speak for himself. I think he should be lifted above the debate that has been rum ming here for several weeks. which has been based on gatherings of the gutter, on whisperings of the corri- dors, on newspaper reports-every sort of rumor and calumny and false story, many of which have been ex- posed as absolutely false"

Mr.. OConnor's testimony yesterday
covered wide range and included
advocacy of direct government opera

assure some degree of permanency to
such a project. He agreed that the
present managing operators contract,
under which the fleet is being OPP

the agents "hold the string at both
ends"
Managing operators contracts and
consolidation of freight services. both
are being studied by the board, he
said, adding that much saving has
been effected by elimination of opera
tors found guilty of making "over-
charges" and through substantial re-
auctions in contract allowances. p

INSURANCE. MEN MEET
,tna Statesmen Have Banquet at
Gunter Hotel.

fPreblems that confront life insur-
&c agents in general and questions

Hid at the Gunter hotel Monday even
b. X. A. Luther. agency secretary,
Id Friend l.. Wells, assistant agency
cretary, were the principal speakers.
EFOur things that a man ought to
tovide against, according to Mr..
ellis, are premature death, physical
Stability, sickness and old age. Life
|surance, he said, is the only thing
the world which will afford protec-
bn against all four.
HE cautioned the agents against
wing to insure prospects for lump
ms and told them to diagnose the
BE of each individual and sell him
|e kind of insurance he needs. 1t is
sier and better, he stated, to sell IN
france for a definite purpose, such
n educating child, than to sell a
mp sum payable to an estate.
1.-Two per cent of the income of the
funtry is paid for life insurance. Mr..
Tells continued, and So per cent of
e estates left are in the form of life
surance.
MIR. Luther confined his remarks
Eore to the future plans of the Aetna
{mpany. He explained the advertising
themes that are to be tried by the
0mpany and stated that new home
Efice will be erected that will house
81 the employees at Hartford. Seven
Buildings are used for the purposes OF
Ne home office at present.
He told of the need for study ON
lie part of men who take up life in
trance as a profession and declared
lat he expected to see laws passed
6thin the next 10 years requiring
lenses for those who desire to sell
lie insurance.
fIt is better to tell the truth and
8se a sale. he said, than to mislead
prospect and make the sale and
&osed his talk by stating that lack

The Alaska fisherman., 1924-09-15

Alaska act, this act which was drawn up by the attorneys of the Alaska-Juneau and the Alaska Cas- tineau mines; an act that is not compensation act, but a limitation Cf liability only. Under this bill the injured party is entitled to a cer- tain amount of moneyprOviding his employer has it otherwise he is out of luck.
 This bill still applied only to min'' CTS. The improvements to the bill and it's extension to all industries was the work of Senator Brown as- sisted by Representative Wilson and Decker.
 Then when the controller bill came up, this bill which seeks to place the control of strictly territorial affairs in the hands of the elected agents of our territory, Senator Fred Aver op posed that, and so that bill was lost by a tie vote.
 On the mine tax, MT. Aver was very tender with great mines who made more than a million dollars net profit each year. In fact it got so that it seemed as if Senator Aver was representing the Hammond Min ing corporation and other big fel- lows rather than the people of the Territory. By his vote, he saved a tax of $2,5O0, to those mines who make more than two millions in ret profits yearly. Instead of tax ing these large corporations $3O,OOO on two millions of net profits (after deducting all expenses, betterments and mprovements), Senator Aver considered that $2O,OOO was plenty.
 But he supported the bill which taxes the little truck-driver the value of his truck, that places q heavy tax on the poor trapper, and other little fellows who voted for him because he talks like a progress sive and votes with the reaction aries.
 ''The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau' and so Isaac gave his bless ing to Jacob who had deceived his father Isaac. It is ever thus.

great that they hardly hear what their representatives have done for them at each legislature, that I am bound to place a little bit in this paper for their benefit.
 Nome is really the stronghold of Labor. At every election the issues are sharply drawn and citizens vote for what they consider Progress sives" among the candidates.
 The opposing candidates for Sena- tor are Senator Charles w. Brown and Mrs. Lulu Welch, and it seems that it will depend on one of these two whether or not the next senate
 Governor Scott c. Bone, Karl Thi- ele, R. J. Sommers and others of the machine are supporting Mrs. Welch and opposing Charlie Brown. This should be argument enough for most people. Of course, we know nothing about Mrs. Welch ex- cept that she is lovely lady, of charming manner, with a great many personal friends in the Nome coun- try. But she is the candidate pick ed by Senator Fred Aver, and we do know Senator Fred Aver, so we will remind the Nome citizens about his record.
 He came to Juneau to get a 'good' Workman's compensation law passed. It seems that this was one of his campaign issues, and one which got him great many votes and his e. lection. Soon after he got to Ju- neau, out of sight of his Nome pro- gressive friends, he showed his true colors. Perhaps he thought the People of Nome would never learn that he surrendered his independence and gave himself over to Governor Scott c. Bone and the carpet bag ging machne. Senator Fred Aver did not care at that time that he became part of the lobby support ing steamship trust.
 Senator Charles w. Brown intro duced a model workmen's compensa- tion bill which had been submitted to the American Federation for La bor Legislation and had their ap- proval; it followed closely the Un- ited States act under which the AL aska Railroad was built, and the Panama Canal and under which the transcontinental railroads operate.
 This act would have given every working man in Alaska the guaran- tee that if he were hurt, that he would be taken care of, his hospi- tai bill paid, transportation, and when he got we'll, that he would have a little money left. Or in case of death, his widow would surely get her money, for herself and her cbi1J,rop
