FAKE QUAKE REPORT
TRACED TO SOURCE
Was Issued to Back Up Prediction
Of Seismologist, Survey
Reveals.

A false report Of an earthquake, is
sued apparently for the purpose of
attempting to justify a faulty seismic
prediction, is interesting scientists
here. Rome dispatches published in
the United States and in Europe early
in June announced the receipt at the
Italian capital of reports from Jugo-
slavia of a sharp earthquake in the
Balkans, where, it was stated, houses
were crumbled and some casualties
occurred. The reports said the CEN
ter of the earth movement seemed to
be near Mostar, Herzegovina.
Prof. G. Agamennone, director Of
the Italian National Seismological
Rome, has communicated with the
Georgetown University Seismological
Observatory here, saying the earth
movement was not recorded in Italy.
where any such quake would have
registered on seismographs, and that,
in reply to a letter, the director Of
the observatory at Belgrade, Serbia,
stated no such earthquake was re-
corded there on the date in question.
A Croatian newspaper pointed out
in connection with the report that
the earthquake fulfilled one of the
predictions made by Raphael Ben
dandi, a Faenza seismologist, that the
Balkan peninsula, from Monday, June
Q, and thenceforth, would receive
many shocks from earthquakes, espe-
cially the districts of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.

NEW YORK, September 26.-It long
has been the boast of the average
New Yorker that he did not know
and did not care how his neighbor
lived 1t has been said that you
might live in the next fiat to a man
here in the metropolis for a decade
and never know whether he was
married or single. New York is proud
that it is not ''nosey." 1t is the big
impersonal town-a sort of live and
let live affair.
No longer need there be any PROOF
of these sophisticated assertions.
lmpersonality has been carried to the
last degree. A big brokerage house
has gone to the wall. 1t has traded
on the New York Stock Exchange for
hfty-three years. 1t has been pill
lar of business substantially. 1t has
been pointed to in the street as
the great example of business ethics.
To. be permitted to trade with such
a house has been considered privi-
Iege almost equal to that of entering
the most exclusive club in the city.
But now the house has failed
failed for a million or more-and one
of its six respected members is miss
ing. 4 general alarm has been sent
out for his arrest. He was a member
of the firm for 2S years, having work
ed up from messenger.
Partners Didn't Know Him.
Now that he has gone his fellow
members of the firm have come TO
the sudden realization that they did
not know anything about the man.
They did not know whether he was
married whether he had a family,
or where he lived. It had never oc-

had a wife and a mother-in-law. They
lived In a most modest fashion.
In leaving the fiat the Christians
took everything with them. There
were two vanloads Of furniture the
neighbors remember seeing go. The
landlord found a note on the mantle
telling him regretfully that he had
been forced to leave before the ex-
piration of his lease because of cir
cumstances over which he had no
control.
Lure of Ticker Got Him.
Naturally the assumption is that
the missing partner, seeing others get
rich by "bucking' the market. and
taking no heed Of those who 60 "in
broke" could not resist the lure Of
the ticker with it's fortune always
just around the corner. Evidently he
speculated mildly at first and then
plunged more and more as the mar
ket constantly turned against him.
More and more of the stocks of Gus
toners which he handled personally
for the Arm were thrown into the
breach with the hope that they might
turn back the flood waters Of
disaster. But the turning never came.
There is no present evidence that the
man got away" with anything. But
he is gone and impersonal New York
says:
Isn't it just like this big old town."

THE WHITE BILL
How Real Alaskans Regard the
 Latest White Fish Bill

OL the OondCo seeks 10 make the Sec) etary of Commerce the overlord of Alaska, giving him complete and absolute power over all the Ws 'ors of Alaska. This means that tie Bureau of Fisheries will Lave the right to do as they please without restraint of law.
 This bill is endorsed by all Fish Barons of Washington, Oregon and California, except that these people object to the clause that prohibits thc Secretary of Commerce from giving exclusive fishing and canning permits to anybody-mean!n% them selves of course.
 The bill as it now stands is strong ly opposed by our Delegate to Con- gress Dan Sutherland. But MT. Hoover and his Fish Bureau who are supporting the exact demands of the Fish Barons, claim that Dan is not truly representing Alaskan sentiment, and to prove that, they point out the fact that various Cham bers of Commerce in Alaska and in Seattle have endorsed their views.
 The Seattle Chamber acting thru their fish committee is backing MT. Hoover. This committee consists of MT. E. s. McCQrd, attorney of prac- tically all large canneries; Charlie Garfield, who fought the cannery and trap system until the cannery- men met his terms by promoting him to serve them in Alaska; and four cannerymen.
 The Juneau Chamber endorsed Mir. Hoover. This Chamber consists principally of cannery lawyers and the cogs of the federal machine. Not a man of them knows the differ ence a humpback, bull-head, and steel-head.
 The Ketchikan Chamber also en- dorsed MT. Hoover. And to make it still stronger, they called a mass meeting which was attended by nearly 500 citizens and fishermen of this district. They proposed the exact resolution which had been un- animously adopted by the Ketchikan Chamber the day before. I made motion to lay the resolution on the table indefinitely, and in the vote which followed, there were so many hands raised supporting my motion that the Chairman, MT. Thomas Tor rey, could not count them. MT. Ed ward Morrissey, the secretary of the mass meeting, then proposed that we march past the chair. After both sides had voted, it was found that the motion carried by more than two to one. This shows just how repre- sentative the Ketchikan Chamber is.
 I then proposed that the following telegram be sent to Hon. Wesley L. Iones Herhert Hoover. and Dan

meeting assembled hereby endorse the White Fish Bill with the ex- ception of the restriction against purse seines second paragraph sec tion three for the following reasons; depletion of our fisheries is due pri- marily to the trap system and not to the purse seine; that between the two forms of gear the trap is by far the most destructive the ratio being at least three to one; that it's restriction as proposed will not abol ish more than twenty per cent of traps; and will not be hardship on many; whereas purse seining is only practical method of catching fish in this division as permitting ample escapement not possible under trap system; purse seining is the basis of livelihood of thousands of our residents; restriction of traps without restriction of purse seines will mean escapement of at least ten million salmon; any other change in bill will mean a surrender to the trap interests that have brought about the ruin of our resident fish ermen."
 This telegram was ordered signed by the chairman, Thomas Torrey, who is also mayor of this city, and Edward Morrissey, editor of the Ketchikan Chronicle, and Kit Kittles, a fisherman. MT. Morrissey refused to sign the telegram so Walter Thomas was substituted.
 In the town of Wrangell, over four hundred citizens signed state ment even stronger than the above telegram. One article states '"The depletion of our fisheries has not been due to purse seines, but has been due to traps"
 The mass meeting at Sitka took similar steps and protested tke trap system in the strongest terms.
 Senator Wesley l.. Jones in his answer to the telegram said the matter of seines and traps is aeon troversial subject" There is an ov- erWhelming sentiment based upon experience here in Alaska that traps are the direct cause of depletion. There is no controversy to speak of about that point. The controversy is on the part of MT. Jones's con- stituents in Seattle and their allied concerns.
 Senator Jones personally investi- gated the fisheries of Alaska last summer, and on the very day that he was in Ketchikan dining with the Chamber of Commerce and in vestigating our fisheries by talking to cannerymen, these same canery- men dumped over 100000 pounds of trap caught fish within 100 yards of Carl Strong's wharf and the Ketchi-

RECALLS OTHER RECORDS.
Notable Marks Set by Americans
in Nonstop Flying.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, June 24.-Lieut. Russell
Maughan's race with the sun across
the continent in one day recalls other
made in the last few years by Ameri-
can aviators.
One of the most notable of these
was the record breaking trip a year
ago of Lieut.. Harrison G. Crocker.
who broke the world record for a
by flying approximately 1.400 miles
from Ellington Field, Houston, Tex,
to Selfridge Field. Detroit, in IL
hours and 54 minutes on May 26,
1928.
Another sensational record was
made the same month, when two
aviators crossed the continent with
out stop. They were Lieut. Oakley
G. Kelly and Lieut.. John A MacReady,
who flew from New York to San
Diego. $3.50 miles, in rs hours and
so minutes on May and 3. 1928. A
had established record at that time
by flying from San Diego to In
dianapolis, 1850 miles. without stop
ping, while attempting a transconti-
mental flight without a stop. They
were forced down at Indianapolis by
engine trouble.
Croker Record Good.
Lieut.. Crocker in making his nom
stop record, used the same plane in
which Lieut. James H. Doolittle on
September 6, 1922, made a nonstop
flight from Kelly Field. Tex, to San
Diego, Calf. distance of about
1.240 miles, in IL hours and 10 min
utes. while trying for nonstop
record from Jacksonville, Fla, to
San Diego. His total elapsed time
from Florida to California, with the
one stop, was % hours and 35 min
utes, and the distance covered was
2z75 miles.
Capt. Lowell Smith and Lieut.. John
Richter, Army aviators. established
an endurance record at San Diego
last August by staying in the air for
81 hours, Is minutes and 1445 sec
onds, bettering the previous record
of s6 hours, 4 minutes and 81 seconds
made by Lieut.. MacReady and Lieut.
Kelly at Dayton in April, 1923.
Airplanes manned by United States
air mail pilots flew 2,6s0 miles from
San Francisco to New York in 27
hours and II minutes actual flying
time in August, 1928.
MacReady Record Broken.
Lieut.. MacReady also established
an altitude record at Dayton in 1921,
when he went up 34,509 feet, but
this record was broken last fall by
Frenchman, Sadi Lecointe, who
mounted 36,745 Ia feet at villicou-
blay, France.
Lieut. J. W. Wead and Lieut. ]. D.
Price made four world records for
seaplanes at Anacostia naval air sta
tion in a flight ending early yester-
day, when they made sustained
flight of 13 hours and 2S minutes
covered 1850 kilometers, travelled
73.41 miles an hour for 500 kilo-
meters and 74.27 miles an hour for
1000 kilometers
Capt. John d. Alcock and Lieut.
Arthur w. Brown of the British
royal air forces crossed the ocean
and established a record for foreign
flyers in July, 1920, by going 1860
miles from St Johns, N. F., to Cliff
den, Ireland, without a stop.
In 1912 Robert E. Fowler flew. with
many stops, from San Diego to Jack
sonville, in 122 days. In 1911 Gal
braith c. Rogers left Buffalo on Sep
tember IL and reached Pasadena No
Vemoer B, which was considered a.
remarkable trip at the time.

Beware of believing newspapers

The Great Forward Society was re-

of a dance at the Imperial Hotel,
attended by both Japanese and for
