LOS ANGELES RESIDENTS
 STRONG ALASKA BOOSTERS

The first of series of articles Will be published in the Gateway shortly relating last years trip of MT. and Mrs. Alois P. Gardner, who passed thru Seward a few days ago, round trippers on the Admiral Evans. During their brief visit here, prior to sailing to the Westward, the Gate way was informed that of all the Alaska tourist boosters, past and present, Mr. and Mrs. Gardner were the best and upon their return to the States last fall, sang the praises of Alaska broadcast until the attention Of the newspaper scribes was at- tracted to them. The result was all along the Pacific Coast, south to Los Angeles, their home town, interviews with the charming couple appeared in a number of publications. They have consented to loan the newspaper clippings to The Gateway.
 This is their first trip to this dis trict of the Territory the trip last season being made in Southeastern Alaska. So infatuated were they with that trip that they took in every possible side trip, even going down to Dawson, Y. T., and return. Many times they doubled back over their route in order to reach some point off the regular route of travel. MT. Gardner said Monday that he can plainly see they will have to return to Seward again next season and make the trip to the Interior.

BE OF GOOD
 CHEER AS YET

MT. Norman c. Shines yesterday gave us some encouraging news - they will employ more men in this camp next year than they will em ploy this year.
 While it has not been decided as yet by the parent company of the Fairbanks Exploration Company MT. Shines is sure as anything that they will dredge Cleary and Gold. stream, although he does not expect to see them bring in a dredger be. fore 1927. Before a dredger dredges it is necessary to prepare the ground for it, and next year they will begin to strip the ground which is to be dredged, cutting away the trees and brush and making all ready for the dredger. This will give work to many men, and an income for Fairbanks merchants

Cabinet, in Secret Session,
Instructs CaiIIaux to
Find Solution
By FRANK E. MASON,
international News Service.

PARIS, May 15.-The French
cabinet, in secret session, today
formally instructed Finance Min
lister Caillaux and Foreign Min
lister BRAND to study the question
of inter-allied debts, and suggest
possible solutions for their, pay
ment.
Debts Up For First Time
This is the first time since the
war debts were incurred that a
French cabinet has formally taken
up the question of interallied debts,
1t was said in diplomatic circles.
Caillaux told the cabinet, it was
said, that if his plans for the res
toration of Frances credit abroad
were to be carried out, France
must face the problem of inter
allied debts and reach a settlement
as soon as the budget was bal
anced.
BRAND Agrees
Minister of Foreign Affairs
BRAND, seconded Caillaux's sugges-
tions.

Fortune Comes to Catherine
Brown, Here, Through Rich
Uncle's Death

For the past twenty-eight
years, Fred w. Brown and his
wife Catherine, of $50 G street
northeast, have been fighting to
keep the wolf from the door on
his salary as member of the
District Fire Department.
A few days ago, through Will
ton ]. Lambert and Charles S.
Baker, Washington lawyers, and
Todd Daniel, of Philadelphia, Mrs.
Brown received a check for $75, 900
from the estate of a great-uncle,
William Bryant, wealthy Philadel-
phia coal merchant, who died on
May 81, 1928.
Promised Visit Failed
"I am coming to Washington to
see you, but if 1 don'&, / am going
to remember you and your chill.
dren, for l have none Of my own"
This was the remark made by
Mr.. Bryant to Mrs. Brown, his
favorite great-niece, when she visit
ed him in Philadelphia in 1915.
However, as the years rolled by,
Uncle Bill failed to make his
trip to Washington, and in May.
1923, he died at the age of seventy
six, leaving an estate valued at
$500, 900.
A few days before he died, while
in a hospital in Philadelphia, he
made a will. 1t is alleged that
when he signed the will he was SO
weak that his hand had to be guild
ed by a nurse. Although he made
requests of $4,000 to a nephew
and other relatives and left the
residue of his estate to a second
wife and a stepchild, he failed to
mention the name of Cathe erine
Bryant Brown, Of Washington.
Shared In Group Clause
Mrs. Brown then took the mat
ter up with her attorneys. who
after a careful study OF the will,
filed a caveat against the probat-
ing of the will in the Philadelphia
courts. They felt, it was stated,
that in a clause of the will refer
ring to ."heirs-at-law and next of
kin" Mrs. Brown was entitled to
a share in the estate.
Conferences followed between the
attorneys for the Bryant estate
and Mrs. Browns lawyers. with
the result that Mrs. Brown received
$4,000 as her share.

Of RENT
SURVEY
General Increase of From
81 to 81 Per Cent
Forecast

A final survey of 1900 houses
and flats and 500 apartments in
twenty-nine apartment houses,
made either through personal Wis
its or questionnaires, by the Dis
trict Rent Commission today dis
closed that rents in 441s per cent
of the houses and flats canvassed
are going to be increased on an
average Of 81 per. cent while rents
in 33 per cent of the 500 apart
ments are going to be increased

Affects U. s. Workers.
1t Is stressed by Chairman oliver
Metzerott, Of the commission, who
supervised the survey, that the
apartments canvassed are only those
which might be reasonably ex-
pected to house employees Of the
Government. No apartments were
surveyed where costly construction
and expensive service should neces-
sarily require high rentals.
In sending out the questionnaires
and making personal visits only
occupants of houses, flats and apart
ments where the rents had hereto
fore been fixed by the commission
were listed. 1t is pointed out that
the survey is an accurate cross
section picture of the situation in
Washington as a whole.
Deductions Made
Following are the exact deduc.
tions made by the Commission from
the survey of small houses and
flats and the one of apartments:
Out of 1900 small houses and
flats, in 545 or 4413 per cent, rents
