SENATOR MOSES
0BJECT|kC TO
RULE CHANGES
Declares Unlimited Debate
One of Country's Strong
est Safeguards.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-United
States Senator George H. Moses, of
New Hampshire, in an address last
night, declared the Senate rules per-
mitting unlimited debate, is one of
the country's strongest safeguards
aaginst legislation by coalition blocs
that have appeared in the Ameri-
can political life.
Senator Moses pointed out that
these coalitions change daily as new
legislative schemes arise and as
serted such majorities are bound
to be reckless as ephemeral"
Senator Moses declared that with
a few exceptions, the demand to
change the Senate rules arises from
those whose contact is brief or non
existent and many man comes to
the Senate with the determination
to tame it and almost invariably
these men have been tanned by the
Senate and come to realize the value
to the Senate rules"
Senator Moses asserted the Norris
constitutional amendment to elimin-
ate short sessions of Congress- will
prevent legislation by lame ducks
and would cure all evils attributed
to the Senate rules"

EAST BECOMES
INTERESTED IN
JUNEAU'S Mine
Alaska Juneau Stock Ad-
vances from .62I2 to
81 in One Week.

Eastern financial papers note in
creased activity in Alaska Juneau
stock In the last week of April
about 10000 shares were sold in the
,ew York Stock exchange
The activity caused the stock to
.dvance from $162 IL share to So
an increase of % - per cent.
At one time in the heighth of the
trading on the last day of the
month the stock went up to $225. On
that day 600 shares were sold.
II is believed that the showing
of the annual report of the company
and the announcement that it will
probably be netting above actual
operating costs about 100000 month
y before the close of the year is
responsible for the renewed interest
in the property.

Canals of User Yield
German Shot and Shell

YPRES. Belgium, May Q. Re-
storation of the User region, which
was flooded and devastated by shot
and shell during the war. has taken
years to accomplish. and 1t is only
quite recently that all the locks
and dikes of the User have been put
into working order again.
The present task is the thorough
dredging of these watercourses,
which is proving exceptionally dan
gerous. So long did this part of
the country lay under intensive
bombardment that the dredging ma
chimes at every turn bring up guam
titles of unexploded shells, gren-
AIDES, mines and other war material,
but SO far no accidents have been
reported. The work will occupy the
whole summer and autumn.
