Tibetan Brothers All
Marry Same Wife,
Saws Explorer

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Dr.
William Montgomery McGOvern,
q native American who ,pene-
trated Lhassa, the forbidden
city Of Tibet, for the British
government, arrived on the Ma.
jestic. He told how he dis
guised himself as q Chinese
coolie, gained entrance to the
mystic capitol Of Tibet, and for
two months photographed and
recorded the peculiarities OF its
100000 polyandrous inhabit-
ants.
That the Tibetans were poly
androus-each woman having
from three to six husbands
was McGovern's most startling
discovery in the forbidden city,
he said. Polyandry had been
the custom since the dawn OF
Tibetan history, the explorer be-
lieved. Each woman is the
queen Of quite q household.
The practice is for the eldest
son Of a family to marry and
for his younger brothers, as
fast as they become old enough,
to wed his wife. There seldom
are more than five children to
a family, so the population has
remained almost constant for
hundreds Of years.

day by Henry O'Malley, commission.
er of fisheries, before the House
Merchant Marine and Fisheries
Committee. Bills giving the Presi-
dent this authority are pending be-
fore the committee.
Commissioner O'Malley said the
food fish. including salmon, are dis.
appearing rapidly from Alaskan
waters because of wasteful catches
and destructive methods employed
by the fishermen. He said hatcheries
should be included within preserves
set aside by Executive order, either
temporary or permanent, SO that the
supply Of fish could be assured. He
said methods similar to those EN-.
ployed in Alaska had been followed
on the Atlantic coast and salmon
had disappeared almost totally from
these waters.

Al. COHOL PERMITS
PLAINLY TOD LARGE,
COUZE:NS DE:CL ARES

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Chair-
man COuzens, of the special senate
committee investigating the internal
revenue bureau, declared today he
was convinced by reports of the com
mittee Investigators that a large
number of industrial alcohol permits
had been issued illegally and furnish
ed the principal source for bootleg
gers.
At an executive session of the com
mittee Wednesday the chairman will
recommend thorough investigation
into this phase of prohibition en-
forcement He said today it did not
seem reasonable that the demand for
industrial alcohol should have in
creased "in leaps and bounds" since
the Nolstead law became effective
The investigators had discovered
ne said, that strong influences had
been brought to bear on the internal
revenue bureau to obtain alcohol per
mits.
In addition to investigation of the
prohibition unit, the committee will
pry into enforcement of the lax laws.
Senator Couzens said the commit.
tee was centering one angle of its
investigation on the cause of the de
crease of $22 100000 in income taxes
from 1916 to 1920. He said about
$4,000, 900 of these taxes had been
traced in tax exempt securities anC
the other had been claimed to be due
to depreciation in business. The
dates for opening public hearings
Will be determined later.

COTTON.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The cot
ton market opened firm today at an
advance of 10 to 16 points on rela-
lively firm Liverpool cables and re-
ports of frost in the south. Active
months sold about II to Is points
net higher after the call, January
advancing to 24.63 and March to
24.9S. Offerings increased somewhat
at the higher price and there were
reactions OF 10 or II points from the
best in the early trading. Differ
ences of opinion existed here as 10
whether the cold weather in the
south would do any harm although
private cables said it had helped the
Liverpool advance. Another private
crop report pointed to a yield of 49,
O36,000 bales, compared with r.
CTS, 900 on November l.
Trading was quiet later in the
morning, with prices sagging off
under comparatively small offerings
which were attributed mostly to
eyening-up of accounts in prepara-
ton for Fridays government report.
Some switching of trade hedges from
December to May was reported, but
the market otherwise lacked any
special feature. Trading was dull at
midday, with January selling at
24.44, only one point below yester
days closing quotations.
No fresh feature developed in the
early afternoon, prices during around

I'VE have tried and proved these
principles in economic, political, so
cial and international relationS,' Mr..
Gompers said. They have been tried
and not found wanting, and where
we have tried other ways we have
failed.
I'm a spirit of conservation to the
cause of humanity, | want to urge
devotion to the fundamentals of hui
man liberty-the principles of volun-
tarism. No lasting gain has ever
come from compulsion. If we seek
to force, we but tear apart that
(which, united, is invincible. There
is no way whereby our labor move
ment may be assured sustained prog
ress in determining it's policies and
| it's plan other than sincere demo-
cratic LIBERATION until an unanimous
decision is reached.
Our movement has found these
voluntary principles the secure foun-
dation upon which the workers of
i all America make united effort.
1--WE are eager to join in an inter-
national labor movement based upon
| the same principles of voluntarsm.
| We are willing to cooperate if we
can be assured u basis that will en-
able us to maintain our integrity
condition necessary for our own
virility and continued progress
Some four hundred delegates,
spokesman for approximately 3,000.-
600 workers affiliated with 107 craft
organizations, entered the initial

shaping labor's program in indus
try, politics md civic enterprise TO:
the coming year.
Debate in three departmental con-
ferences last week forecast a gen
eral convention keynoted on a de-
termined stand against wage reduc

Labor interests of two nations
centered in this district today, for,
as the American Federation opens
its convention here, the Mexican
confederation of labor met in Jau
rez, across the international bridge.
The Mexican delegates late today
will march to Liberty hall here for
a joint session with the Americans.
