ALASKA DRAINED OF MONEY
 THAT WILL NEVER RETURN
Seward Gateway.1

Lacking local industries, Alaska has Ibeen dained of money that will never areturnbut which should have re- 3mained to develop home resources. Slow progress is being made in need ted legislation, and other handicaps are being removed which, in part at least, will stop the pouring of money outside the Territory.
 Last week representative of the Seward Chamber of Commerce ap- ipeared before the United States Chamber of Commerce, then in session at Washington, D. c. He was given the privilege of the foor," and be- cause of the facts he presented was successful in obtaining the endorse 1ment of that prominent body for the passing of the Alaska grazing bill. " The Seward Chamber of Commerce flor two years tried to obtain legisla- ton that last month passed Congress and was signed by the President, al- owing the export of Alaskan timber teut on the public domain.
 Mr. Noel W. Smith, general man ;ager of the Alaska Railroad, had quietly been making a demonstration of the industrial possibilities along the railroad. All furniture used in their offices, depots, and hotel, is man 'ufaetured from birch timber cut and finished sslong the railroad; the pro- ,iuct is very pleasing in appearance ;and of fine quality. Insular pins, ecross-arms, broom and mop sticks and cother wooden articles are also being manufactured. A foundry, which has tbeen operating for two years, fur lnishes the railroad with special cast iings, brake shoes, brasses, journals, cooper and brass stock, stoves, etc., in competition with Outside manufae- 'turers. The coke and charcoal used lby the railroad is manufactured local 4ly from Alaska products, and birch ;and cottonwood veneer has been made
 is suitable for export. Oak car ssills are being replaced as needed with native hemlock and have proven satisfactory. The demand in the tan ming trade for hemlock bark and bark extract, also the market for barrels, box shocks and cold-storage boxes, is being investigated by Mr. Smith, and if market is found new industries will be developed or profitable sales found for by-products of established mills.

OFFICIALS EARS DEAF
TO APPEALS BY PONZI
Coolidge and Governors Ignore
Pleas as Financier Turns
to Countrymen.

HOUSTON, July 3.-Following d.
rect appeals to President Coolidge,
Premier Mussolni and the Governors
Of Massachusetts and Texas for aid
in keeping him out of prison, Charles
Ponzi, Boston swindler, today called
upon his Italian countrymen in the
United States to come to his assist
ance.
The only response the financial
wizard has to various messages dis
patched to high officials is an assur.
ance from Gov Alvin T. Fuller of
MaSSa ChuSettS that officials of that
State are anxious to put him behind
the bars for the next seven or nine
years.
However, PonZi declared today that
italians in Houston and Galveston
were wiring appeals to President
Coolidge and Gov. Miriam A. F'ergll-
son, who will act on the request of
Massachusetts, authorities for his ex-
tradition. He added that he thought
others over the country would take
similar action and thus add weight
to his fight for freedom.
In his message to President Cool
idge PonZi offered to submit to i'm
mediate deportation. He asserted
that 1.-The PonZi case has assumed the
proportions Of a national scandal fos-
tered by the State of Massachusetts
with the forbeaIance Of the Federal
Government"
Meanwhile Ponzi remains locked up

SHINGLING GAINS FAVOR
AMONG GERMAN GIRLS
Some Afraid to Face Parents After
Getting Locks Shorn-Dutch
Maids Follow Suit.
BY the Associated Press.


AMSTERDAM. July 3.-Shingling
is becoming more and more the vogue
in both Holland and Germany, but 1t
has been the cause of many queer
complications and domestic friction.
The whole Rotterdam police recently
were modified to search for an indi-
vidual who, according to girls
story, had climbed through her win
dow in the night and cut off her hair.
She afterwards confessed that she had
shingled herself and had invented the
story in order to escape parental
wrath.
Another shingled girl from Nurem-
berg was found in a Munich park, cry
ing and without money. 1t was found
that she had had her locks shorn
against the wishes of her parents, and
not daring to face them, had fled to
Munich hoping to find work there.
A young woman with cropped head
was arrested in Berlin on a charge OF
being a young man masquerading as
a girl. A policeman took her to the
police station where a woman inspec
tor gave her a quick glance and said
of course she's a girl-look at her
ankles

Hans and Gretchen sitting together
on the banks of a canal. A watchfu
old gendarme pounced upon a couple
from behind, but discovered, to his
dismay, two .mustached faces. 81

cigarette. I couldn't tell the differ

ARMS PROPOSALS
Not a Single One Has Been
Selfish, Says Envoy, at
Geneva Celebration.
By the Associated Press.


GENEVA, July 3.-The Americans
have not advanced single selfish pro-
posal in connection with the disarma-
ment discussions, and will advance
none in the future.
Hugh Gibson, the American Minis
ter to Switzerland, made this declara-
ton in an Independence day address
tonight before the largest gathering
of Americans ever held In Geneva,
among them all the members Of the
American delegation to the arms con-
ference. Consul S. Pinkney Tuck
presided.
The American Minister was allud.
ing to the recent rejection of some of
the American ideas as to the best
way to settle naval problems. Every
American suggestion, he explained,
was based solely on practical consid-
erations and was introduced because
it was felt that the adoption of such
suggestions would contribute in some
way to a solution of the disarmament
problem.
when the work Is over" he re-
marked, I'VE shall have the satisfac-
ton Of knowing that our Government
made an earnest and honest effort to
contribute it's full share"
He pleaded for patience in carrying
out the difficult task and said that
Americans hoped that their efforts
would help to reduce the worlds bur-
den Of ornaments.
