Within the past month the bait situation In the Wrangell district took on such a serious aspect as to arouse intense interest. It had be- come matter of definite knowledge that unless something was done to relieve the situation there would not be enough halibut fishing this year to be worth mentioning.
 The first of the week the Wran- gell Commercial Club sent three cablegrams asking for relief. sev- erai private individuals also sent cablegrams to Washington. How ever, the message which probably carried the most weight and was re- sponsible for the quick action was sent by Frank Hynes, local repre- sentative of the Bureau of Fisheries. The eablegram received by MT. Hynes telling of executive order by the acting secretary of Commerce is printed at the head of this col umn
 The regulations which had been previousuly deereed for the year 1926 stated that Commercial fish ing for herring may be conducted from January 1. to January 15, both dates inclusive. in the waters of Seward Passage and Ernest Sound.
 The new regulation relieves an acute situation and will be duly ap- preciated throughout Southeastern Alaska
 Henry o'Malley extended the
 ourtesy of a prompt reply to the message sent by the Wrangell Com mercial Club. He stated that an order was being promulgated which it was believed would provide for any requirements for bait for hali- but fishermen. and that the sub stance of the new regulation was being telegraphed to Seattle from which point Warden Hynes of Wrangell would be notified

NEW YORK-The American Uni versity Alumni Expedition, led by Lieutenant Wade will leave New York for Seattle on June 8. The adventures have no doubt that that an aviation base can be estab lished on it. Their expectation of success leads them to vis- ualize the enormous latent possibil- ities of aviation. Lieutenant Wade said. "The land we shall seek we believe to be situated on the great circle route between the Occident and the Orient, the most logical site for an airplane base for Lon don and Tokyo Air traffic" The expedition will be equipped with five Douglas planes, each carrying three 220 h. D. motors. The party expects to live of the land if it be- comes necessary. Four polar expe- ditions are now scheduled. inelud- ing the Wade and Detroit flights. The other two expeditions are those of Amundsen and Byrd The latter is backed by John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. and Henry Ford.

 The effect of the court order is sued at Fairbanks directed at Sur att and Lavoy is for reaching, and if upheld will have a serious effect on the business of producing news pictures which has become a big industry.

NO BEACH HERE
TH|SSUNMER

Washington is facing another
summer without good prospects OF
bathing beach relief being pro-
vided for the sweltering half
million.
Even if the Zihlman bill is
passed Immediately, which seems
improbable, the pools cannot be
completed before August, officials
of the Public Buildings and Pub
lie Office figured today.
And if Congress delays action for
another month or two there will be
no chance for the pools to be built
before the end of summer, officials
stated.
The Nhlman measure has been
favorably reported out by the House
District Committee. If it passes 1t
will be then considered by the
Senate and if approved by both
houses money will have to be APP.
propriated, because the bill makes
no provision for the outlay.
The pools cannot possibly be con
structed in less than six months,
engineer officers declared. After
the necessary money Is appropriated
1t will take time to draw designs
and specifications and choose a site.
Bids would have to be advertised
for and 1t probably would be many
weeks before actual work would get
under way.

Johns, of 219 Pennsylvania Ave.
N. W., and Rosie Adams, Of 4S7
Pennsylvania Ave. N. w., gypsy
fortune-tellers, had their permits

tective Benjamin G.. Kuehling under

Kuehling said that both women
made advances to an agent whom
he sent to their. establishments.
It is said that the agent was
given large roll Of stage money
which he laid in his hand wnen he
was asked to cross his palm with
silver. The ruse was not successful,
however, and the agent was told to
return when he had good money. !"

not uncommon, Lieut.. Nina Van

LOYAL ITALIANS
ARE LAUDED

Secretary of Labor James J..
Davis brought down the house"
at the opening of the national
convention of the Order of the
Sons of Italy at the Washington
Hotel today, when he declared that
"the American citizen of Italian
birth who loves his Italy best is
the one who loves America best,
and the top-notch representative
of his native land is the real. true
blue American"
The 200 delegates to the conven-
| tion, representing 300, 900 members
of the order throughout the United
| States, cheered the secretary
speech for several minutes, and the
chairman had difficulty stiIIing the
applause so that the Italian ambas-
sador to the United States, Baron
De Marine, could begin his address.
Patriotism to America was the
keynote of the opening of the meet
| ing. A member of the order, dress
ed in the uniform of an Italian sol
der and carrying the flag of Italy,
stood in the center of the stage
at the opening of the exercises,
| while an orchestra played the Ital-
ian national anthem.
At its close, another member,
wearing his uniform of an officer of
| the American army, and carrying
the American flag, stepped from the
| wings, while the orchestra played
1.-The StarSpangled Banner" to the
accompaniment of wild applause by
/ the delegates.
The delegates then, in a body,
| recited the oath of allegiance to the
| American flag.
District Commissioner F. A. Fen
ming welcomed the delegates. Peter
| A. Radice, of Washington, chairman
| Of the local committee, presided at
| the opening session.
