AlTkEN HAS SOLD DREDGE
 INTEREST IS LATE REPORT

There is a report in circulation to the effect that Thomas F. Aitken, pioneer operator of the Kuskokwim district, has disposed of his interests on Candle Creek to Thomas McKin- non and Johnson, of the Union Con- struction company. The transfer is to be made at the end of the present season, according to the report which was brought direct from that section of the territory by recent arrivals in town.
 The Aitket dredge has been oper- ating all summer on the creek and is said to have done well. About 25 men have been employed in connec- tion with the operations.
 That the report is we'll founded is indicated by the fact that McKin- non has arranged to make a trip to the Kuskokwim district by airplane, leaving Fairbanks within the next few days. He visits that district ev, cry summer but usually is ready to leave for the States at this time or a. little later. He already is heavily interested in mining properties there

SAMOANS WANT u. S.
NAVAL RULE ENDED
Hold Secret Meetings to Decide on
Petition to President for
Civil Government.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa, March
11-Secret meetings have been held by
the natives of American Samoa at
various times in the past month to
consider the question of petitioning the
President of the United States to end
the present control of naval officials
over Samoan affairs and to grant them
a civil form of government in which
all taxpayers may participate.
There have been no open meetings,
owing to the fear Of some of the
Samoans that they will be prosecuted
for breach Of the regulation concerning
''offenses against the government and
civil rights of citizens if the gather
ings were public.
A large number of Samoans, believed
by many of those concerned to be a
majority of the island population have
chosen deputies to represent them in
a final meeting at which definite de-
cision will be made on whether the
petition shall be forwarded to the Pres
ident
There is much dissatisfaction with
the present methods of administering
Samoan affairs. Men who have been
strong adherents of the naval admin
istration heretofore view the growing
discomfort with much concern.

kept constantly advised today regard

Amalfi and vicinity, but details of the
catastrophe were scanty as the tele-

It is reported the king will go to the

Firemen, carbineers and forces OF
fascist militia were started for the
stricken area from nearby points with
appliances for rescue work as soon
as the seriousness of the situation be-
came apparent, but their progress
was blocked by the breaking down of
the high roads to Amalh and Sorrento
and Salerno.
In the crash along the. coast, the
beautiful terraces, vineyards and olive
groves which seemed to hang between
sky and sea along the Amalh shore
fell into the water. Corpses from the
villages and the isolated cottages
overhanging the coast are floating In
the sea, together with uprooted trees
and torn-out vegetation.

The sea now is the only approach

the affected zone.
The slide was caused by the under
