Boris Savinkof, Former Leader of Red Revolt
 Is Sentenced to Death

MOSCOW, Sept. 16.-The trial and conviction of General Boris Saw inkoff constituted probably the most dramatic case that has come before the revolutionary war tribunal. Say inkoff, former military governor of Petrograd and assistant minister of war in the Kerensky cabinet, was sentenced to death on a multitude of charges growing out of his. seven years struggle against the Soviet re gime. A stay of execution was or dered, however, to allow an appeal for pardon to the executive com mittee, as Savinkoff acknowledged his guilt and expressed desire to support the Soviet.
 The case was regarded by the gov ernment as important to it's safety and prestige. The courtroom was packed with members of the govern ment, the central committee of the communist party, the war council and the most active members of the soviet political administration, in cluding Acting Premier Kameneff.

Swami Yogananda, Native
 Indian Prince in Seward

Swami Yogananda, of Calcutta, h. dia, accompanied by his secretary arrived on the Admiral Evans on his way to Anchorage and interior points The Swami represents Maharajah Prince Kasimbazur, of Calcutta prov ince, British India, and travelled from New York to Seattle by automobile. The Swami was accompanied by two students of his cult, and made many converts. He lectured in Denver and Judge Ben Lindsay became one of his students.
 Il believe the modern school should be supplemented with proper training in the art of living" said the Swami. T find that the public schools give only one side of true education. They teach very little as to meeting the complex problems of life. That is why I am establishing these schools. I teach perfection of body and mind by the power of will. 1 have found human nature the same all over the world, the only differ ence being in the expression in the minds of the people of this country. The people of America need more psychological training They need more tolerance. The young people of the nation do not stop to con sider the mental ability of the per- son they choose to go through life with. In India they do. Here they pay too much attention to physical beauty. In India physical beauty is not overlooked but it is the last thing to be considered. There is also too much gay life in America. The people need more plain living and higher thinking"
 The Swami said that the United States needs association wth India and India contact with the United States.
 T like Alaska very much, despite the bad weather encountered. I do not consider I have seen America un- til l have seen Alaska" he concluded.

LEAGUE TO STUDY
 PEACE PROGRAM

GENEVA, Sept. 16.-Before leav- ing Geneva recently for their re- spective capitals, Premiers Mac donald and Herriot, backed by the delegations of all the other countries put into concrete form a program which the assembly of the league of nations will study in an effort to elaborate satisfactory system of compulsory arbitration, designed to put an end to war, prepare the way for a conference on the reduction of armaments and set up some satis- factory pact of guarantees and mutual assistance which will serve to make compulsory arbitration prac- ticable.
 The heads of all forty-six national delegations present, standing sol emnly, gave their assent to the res olution, which declared that the ob ject is to strengthen the solidarity and security of nations throughout the world by settling by pacific means all disputes which may arise between them.
 When the unanimity of the vote was announced there were impress sive demonstrations throughout the auditorium.
 Premiers Macdonald and Herriot left Geneva apparently without any agreement on the vital question of how much military help Great Brit ain will accord France in case ar bitration decisions are not obeyed and the general opinion in Geneva is that thefate of the new move ment to insure permanent peace de- bends on the answer to the ques- tion: 'How much security will Great Britain give and mow little military aid will France be content with ?"
 The attitude of the delegates to- day demonstrated clearly that, all though all the countries are ready to accept obligatory arbitrations, this form of settlement of conflicts much have a corrollary security guarantees based on the employment of force.

CLOSED SEASON ON HERRING ASKED BY
 FISHERIES BOARD

In addition to the recommends tions for new regulations on the salmon fishing industry submitted by the Alaska Advisory Fisheries Committee, it also made recommen- dations for certain restrictions on the herring fishing industry in Southeastern Alaska and the clam fisheries at Cordova. These were made pubic Sept. II by Gov Scott C Bone chairman of the commit tee,
 The herring regulations recom- mended follow:
 'Kootznahoo Inlet closed to her ring fishing at all times.
 "In all bays closed or proposed to be closed to salmon fishing, her ring fishing will also be prohihlted ,
 "The weekly close season of 36 hours provided by law for the prn- lection of the salmon fisheries should also be applicable to the herring fisher,es.
 'There should be a close season from February Is to June Is, o f each year, covering the spawning time of herring in this district"
 The committee recommended that current regulations governing the herring fisheries in the Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet and Ko- diaE areas be continued in force another season and that such ad- ditional recommendations be made as the investigations made during the present season show to be ne- cessary.
 Regarding clam fisheries, the rec concentrations said:
 The size of razor clans taken Tor commercial purposes is fixed at four and one-half inches in total length of shell, except that not more than three per cent by number or clans many measure less than this minimum"
 The committee suggested that posters bearing this regulation and US purpose be distributed early in the season not later than April I to pc followed by an energetic campaign of enforcement. Describ Ing the clam situation at Cordo1,o to be acute, it recommended +bot wlde publicity be given in local pa papers and trade journals in order that persons interested might fully appreciate lat? the intent of the regu-
