WILL RESUME INQUIRY
 OF INTERNAL REVENUE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. T. Over the protest of the chairman, Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, a majority of the senate committee named to investigate the internal revenue bureau, decided today to re- sume it's inquiry during the summer recess.
 Because of his objection to the hearing, Senator Watson resigned the chairmanship as soon as the de- cision was reached, and Senator Cou- zens, republican, Michigan, was se- lected in his stead.
 It was Senator Couzens who, by joining with the two democratic members, Senators King, of Utah, and Jones of New Mexico, threw the balance of power in the committee in favor of resumption of the hear ings.

TIGERI ARRIVES SEATTLE TO CONFER WAGNER
 BUREAU ACTIVITIES

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 7.-Dr. John J. Tigert, United States Com missioner of Education with head quarters in Washington, D. C., ar rived in Seattle yesterday in con- nection with the government educa- tional activities among the natives in Alaska. He will prolong his stay in this city to about four days and will be in conference with J. H. Wagner, the head of the Alaska division of the Bureau of Education who has his offices in Seattle at the present time.
 The reindeer industry in Alaska among the natives has grown to such immense proportions that it has be- come difficult problem to handle by the bureau of education, said Ti- gert in an interview in this city with newspaper correspondents. Herds of late, have increased so rapidly that in some parts of the Seward penin- sula they are so numerous as to be of little value. Our problem now, said Tigert, is to find ready mar ket for the surplus stock that is not required for the natives use.
 A party of teahcers are sailing on the steamship Victoria for the fol- lowing destinations: MET. and Mrs. Edward Reese, Diomede; Mir. and Mrs. Albert Schmidt, Igloo; MT. and Mrs. W. F.

5 TO 2" SHINGLES ARE
 FAVORED AT SALT LAKE

SEATTLE, Aug. 7.-Following similar action by the Puget Sound Shingle Manufacturers association, the lumber dealers of Salt Lake City have adopted a resolution accept ing the standard 5 to 2" shingle recommended by Secretary of Com merce Herbert Hoover, according to word received here yesterday. Here tofore most shingles have been of the "6 to ?" inches size, according to Seattle shingle manufacturers, but under the new standard size sug- gested the shingles can be packed only five thicknesses in every two inches.
 The new size, shingle men point out, will mean a longer period of use. Shingles with roofs that would last twenty years under the old standard size shingles, will now last some thirty years longer.
 Under the department of Com merce standardization plans there will be four classes of shingles called A, B, c, and D, and the new "5 to 2" shingle may be obtained in any one of the four classifications.

TRAP WATCHMAN SHOT;
 BOAT CREW ARRESTED

JUNEAU, Aug. GA trap watch man at Lime Point, at the entrance of Hatta Inlet on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, was shot by alleged "fish pirates,' according to advices received by U. s. Attorney A. G. Shoup and other federal off cials. Capt. Alvin B. Carr and the crew of the gasboat Dolphin have been arrested and are now held in jail at Craig suspected of having done the shooting, according to a telegram received from U. s. Mar shal George D. Beaumont.
 No details of the shooting were received. It was not stated in any of the cables whether or not the shot was fatal nor was the identity of the watchman given. At first a request was made for the Unalga to be sent to the scene of the shoot ing, but later advices revealed that the boat said to be involved had been apprehended. The arrests were made by Capt.

BATTLING SENEGALESE
 BLESSED WITH PAIR OF
 WIVES, SAYS DESPATCH

PARIS, Aug. 7.-Battling Ski, who was married in New York yes terday to Lillian Werner, an octo, room, returned from a tour of Hol- land in 1921, bringing Dutch girl with him whom he introduced as his wife. The prize fighter and the woman lived together until Siki left for the United States. She bore him a child which is now more than ? years old.
 Mrs Ski, as she is universally known, is living now in Vanvas, a suburb of Paris, in a cottage rented by Ski eighteen months ago. She is working in a shop just outside of Paris to support herself and her child. Remittances to her from the Senegalese are said to have ceased some time ago.
 Mrs Ski could not be reached tonight, but close friends of the pug Hist say that he certainly was mar ried to the Dutch girl.

LAKE OF LIQUID
 FIRE IS SPREADING

HILO, T. H., Aug. 7.-The lava dis play at Kilauea volcano, which start ed last Saturday, continues with in- creased volume in spectacular style, the lake of liquid fire appearing to be spreading. Monday an avalanche croshed down from the pit wall with a roar, the resulting tremendous dust cloud shooting several thousand feet high.
 Thomas A. Jaggar, jr., director of thevolcano observatory station, de- clared that the reappearance of the lava was reassuring sign, as ex- perts had feared the activities of last May, in which the whole shape of the volcano pit was changed, might have left the lava vents clogged. Such clogging, he said, eventually would have resulted in further up- heavals.
