CHARTER CHANGES BECOME EFFECTIVE City Now Empowered to Adopt
 zonins Ordinance COMMON COUNCIL ABSOLUTE
Controls Appropriations and is Boss of Fire and Police Boards-City Meeting Board Passes Into His ,ory of City.


 The signature of Governor John II. Trumbull has been affixed to the charter amendments for this city, recently passed by the general as- sembly. and the city is now empow- cred to establish building districts and restrictions and put in effect a zoning ordinance.
 This is regarded as the most i'm portant amendment to the charter since the city became a municipal corporation. It is. however. only one Of several important propositions passed upon by the revision commit tee and the general assembly, which through the governors signature went into effect today.
 City Meeting Board Dead.
 Another proposition Of great tm- portance is the elimination from the citys system of government of the city meeting board. This board of 1S4 members, IA of whom were elective as city meeting board mem- bers, 30 of whom served by virtue of their common council membership, and 10 as members Of the board of finance and taxation, took the duties and powers of the old town meeting. With its abolition no substitute has been arranged and the common council will, at least until another change Is made. be the final board of review on all matters of appro- priation. It is understood that a movement will be started two years hence to establish some body as a check on the common council. Today for the first time In the city's his- tory the councils actions are not subject 10 review.
 Fire and Police Board Powers.
 The powers of the police and fire boards with regard to supposed con- flicting common. council powers are also definitely set out in the neRi charter. These boards are. u sYab- 1 Soiuteiy undsr o.oers sr@ ~ e, ,spt9st- [ ell. Each board has successfully de- i fled the common council during the past year, claiming in the matter of appointments, the council could not dictate. The amendments signed give the common council absolute power, setting at rest the disagreement.
 The city plan commission becomes a board of five members instead of 15 under the old charter. This me- cessitates the dropping Of 2 large number of appointees.
 Tax List Filing Change.
 As result of the governors ap- proval to the amendments. 1t is no longer necessary to file with the board of assessors tax lists giving other than personal property. The time of filing Is reduced from 30 to IS days, and the board of assessors Is empowered to serve subpoenaes and require the attendance of tax payers at meetings under certain conditions.
 Among the numerous other changes are amendments which al- low the issuance of school bonds to acquire present school buildings. the need for which was felt in the pur- chase of the state normal school; the city is allowed to borrow money in anticipation of payment of benefits assessed; and extension of payments for needed works over a period of five years, provided the cost is not more than s1O0,00O. Is allowed.

Admiral Robison, Dem by and Roosevelt of Navy Department and Other Subordinate Of- ( fcials Are Exonerat- ed.
Fraud Charge Against , Head of Mammouth Oil
 Company Is Not Upheld,
 According to Ruling.

Cheyenne, Wyo., June 1S.-- Harry F. Sinclair has won his legal battle to have and to hold the Teapot Dome oil land leases.
 Federal Judge Kennedy to. day so ruled in a 20,00O-word decision handed down here.
 The decision absolves Ad- miral Robison of blame, as 1t does former Assistant Secre- tary F. D. Roosevelt of the navy, Finney and other subor- dinate officials.
 It upholds former Secretary Albert Fall for his secrecy In negotiating the deal.
 Sinclair is absolved of the fraud resulting from some ot his Liberty bonds being found in the possession of a relative of Falls.
 The late President Harding s transfer of the lease was held as legal and binding.
 Denby Is Upheld
 The secretary of the navy was fully within his rights in act ing as he did, having been au- thorized by the act of June 4 1920. to develop, conserve. use and operate" the naval oil re serves. Iu1re Kennedy held.
 He ruled that the phrase "in his discretion" embodied in the law placed no restriction on the manner in which the reserves were to be handled.
 He further had full author ity to use, store, exchange and sell" the crude oil royalties, Judge Kennedy held, denying the governments contention that the secretary's action in dealing in commodities for the rovornn,ent was q usurpation of congressional authority for appropriating money for such dealings.
 The act of June 1, 1920, was a special act and authorized the building of storage tanks at Pearl Harbor, Portsmouth and other places, as designated under supplemental contracts between the government and Sinclair and Doheny, the ruling said.
 Bank Records Stricken Out
 Judge Kennedy struck from the record all exhibits and rec ords of Falls bank accounts and financial dealings with the Continental Trading Co. in sustaining a defense motion.
 The governments bill of complaint was dismissed, every major contention in it having been denied in the decision.
 Cheyenne, Wyo,. June 1s Pl-' Precautions of an unusual nature were taken today by Federal Judge Kennedy to prevent his decision in the Teapot Dome lease annulment suit from being made public pre- maturely.
 As the hour approached for the reading of the decision in court 1t became known that Judge Kennedy himself had possession of all copies Of the ruling and that none of them would leave the bench until he had finished reading 1t. The decision is said to be about 2n,000 words long
 Court opened at 1o:o2 a. m, with the sharp bang of the baiiift's gavel. Judge Kennedy announced he would read the decision. He began il al once.
 Begins His Reading
 The decision at the outset set forth the title of the suit and the governments pleading that the executive order of President Hard ing of May 3I. 1921, transferring the naval oil reserves from the navy 10 the interior department was granted in excess Of executive au- thority and that Harry r. Sinclair.

LUMBER CUT WILL
 EXCEED 1924 RECORD

The annual gross cut of lumber by mills in Southeastern Alaska this year is expected to exceed that of last year by at least 2,OOO,OOU feet, according to present indica- tions, said 5. k. Helntzleman oI the forest service today.
 MT. Heintzleman and Mir. Eel Ter, supervisor of the Tongass na- tional forest, returned Sunday from an inspection of the timber reserves in the Petersburg district and MT. HeintzIeman expects to remain here until late in the week before leav- ing for other parts of the district
 Despite the tact that the Peters burg sawmill burned down and has been out or operation for the sum- mer, the increased output by the ketchikan and Juneau mills and other plants ill the southern end of the Territory will more than make up for the absence of the Petersburg mill, it is expected, and we look for this to be a big year for the lumbermen," MT. Heintzleman said.
 Although actual reconstruction Of the Petersburg mill has not been commenced, they are purchasing considerable timber for future op- erations and now have million and a half feet of logs in their booms.
 E. NJ. Buell., Portland engineer, is now making an inspection oi timber facilities in the Petersburg district with the assistance of For est Ranger J. Williams.-Chronicle

AUSTRALIAN LECTURER WILL
 BOOST ALASKA BY RADIO

An interesting passenger on the Princess Louise which was in port southbound Friday evening was Capt. kilroy Harris, D.S.O, M.C., FIR .G.S., Australian traveller, news paper man, author, and lecturer.
 For the past three months Cap- tain Harris has been travelling in the Canadian Rockies, Alaska, and the Yukon Territory, gathering ma terial for literary and lecture pur- poses.
 The British Who's Who" shows that Captain Harris, although still a very young man, has had re- markedly adventurous career. He has travelled more than five thous- and miles on horseback, and more than five thousand miles in a one horse buggy, through the far inte- rior of his native Australia, gath ering material for his books, Out back in Australia" and Something About Australia" etc.
 Captain Harris is an officer in the Legion Frontiersmen, regiment of scouts serving throughout the British Empire. During the great war he was wounded four times, and gassed once. He was decorated by King George of England personally with the Distinguished Service Or der and three Military Crosses. His war service included six months secret service work in America in 1915; and six months in the U. s. in 1918 as an official war lecturer for the British and U. s. Govern ments. Later he was made King S messenger, and as such he travelled throughout Europe, and to Ceylon and Australia, carrying despatches. He also travelled extensively in New Zealand, South Sea Islands. South Africa, Canada, and the United States.
 Captain Harris, as the originator of the Radio Travel Talks" fa- nous in the United States, has probably been heard by more radio | fans than any other lecturer. I'm mediately upon his return to Chi cago in October, he is to give a number of radio talks about Alas ka from various stations.

FISHERMAN HAS TERRIBLE
 EXPERIENCE AT PORTAGE
 BAY, ALEUTIAN PENINSULA

A pitiful tale comes from Port age Bay, in a letter to the Seward Gateway from Andrew Grosvold Four fishermen ran away from a cod fishing schooner, with the in- tention of getting across from Her endeen Bay, on the Boring Sea side to Portage Bay, on the Pacific side and then catch the mail boat for Kodiak where some of them had made their homes for several years
 At Hernendeen Bay they hired out salmon fishing for. the Everett Packing Company until the cannery closed. On the way from the cannery to the Divide they encountered very bad weather, with the result that one William Aucoin, through expos ure and hardships on the trail, be- came paralyzed and had to be pack ed over the peninsula by his com panions. As it is nine miles across the portage, the trip took them all day, and when they arrived at tide water on the Pacific side they left the unfortunate man on a sandbar while they went to "Portugee" Franks cabin for skiff. Here they became interested in Franks brew and forgot their shipmate. They stayed at the cabin that night and did not return to their companion until late the next afternoon.
 In the meantime the poor fellow Iox ha ha Ctrf fering from the cold during the night and the hot sun during the day, he was in a terrible state. With a creek flowing on both sides of him he was unable to reach the water, and he only secured enough to moisten his lips by tying his cap to his belt and throwing it the little distance he was able. During the IS hours he lay there the mosquitoes worked on him until every exposed part of his body was raw and swollen
 Upon returning, his shipmates took him down to Franks cabin and there left him, placing the remains of an old dog salmon within his reach and a bucket of water by his bedside. The three men then started iOl AACAChuCCA pay u Set luCli clothes and food they had left there but failed to return.
 After five days one Harry Hyland who lives about ten miles farther down the bay, happened to take a trip tn Franks cabin and there he found Aucoin nearly dead and al- most out of his head. The water that had been left him was full of flies, gnats and mosquitoes-the salmon was putrid. Every part of the poor fellows body was a mass of sores from the bites. And Blue bottle flies had laid their eggs in the sores.
 Harry Highland took what was left of Aucoin down to his cabin, and with the untiring nursing of Mrs. Highland and her little girl, he was soon on the road to recovery, but still had to be carried aboard the power boat which took him to Unga, where Dr. Lane attended him.

 Don't eat them anyway" Rag gedy Ann whispered to the others. If the magician has worked magic on the Jolly pops, he has been care ful to work the magic so that 1t will not affect him, but If we eat them, there is no telling what might happen to us!"
 Raggedy Ann had scarcely fin ishcd saying this when the magi- clan began to look very funny, then he began to cough and when the strange creature ran to him and dumped him on the back to make him quit, the magician did not stop Instead he coughed louder and louder until finally it sounded just like puppy dog barking and aS our friends watched him, they saw the magician change into a puppy 1 dog.
