WARNING IS ISSUED
TO SEAFOOD DEALERS
Superintendent of Weights and
Measures Acts to Regulate
Sale of Crab Meat.

A movement to break up a de-
ceptive trade practice among seafood
dealers who sell crab meat by the
gallon in tin cans or other con-
tainers which are usually labeled
with the weight, but hold much less
than gallon. was started yesterday
by George NJ. Roberts. superintendent
of weights and measures of the Dis
trict.
Circular letters warning that such
practice is in violation of the weights
and measures law have been sent
to all seafood dealers in the Dis
trict. II consider it only fair and the
most effective way of dealing with
the subject to call the matter to the
attention of all dealers and give
them a chance to stop the practice
before prosecuting" said Mr.. Roberts,
because it is probable that they
do not realize that such transactions
constitute violations of the law"

HOXIES GASBOATS LIBELED
 AND SEIZED BY U. s. OFFICERS
Juneau Empire-)

Acting under authority from the Treasury Department, local U. $. GUS toms officials today seized the gas boats Firefiy and Lu, alleged rum runners, which figured prominently in the recent Hoxie conspiracy trial. A libel was filed against each of the yes sells by the U. S. Attnrney's office in the District Court this morning.
 Penalties aggFegating $a3, ,000 are involved in the charges specified in! the libels. While these are arsessable against the masters of the boats, the vessels themselves are liable for con demnation and sale to satisfy the claims. In addition, the vessels are said to be subject to confiscation un- der the libels against them.
 The libels grew out of the alleged rum rnnning operations charged in the Hoxie conspiracy cases, in which a series of importations of liquor from Canada to Alaska were set up by the Government. The libel against the Lu is the most voluminous ever filed in the local District Court, it was said at the U. s. Attorneys office, containing thirty typewriter pages. The libel against the Firefiy com prises thirteen pages. Both vessels are charged with violation of the tari fact of 1922 Sixteen articles were specified against the Lu, four for each alleged violation. Importations are charged on September 14 and De- cember Il, 1924, and January 5 and February 25, 1925. Importations are charged against the Firefy on July 1, 1923, February 9 and August 25,' 1925.
 The penalties claimed against the Lu total $24,OO0, and against the FiFrefy $18,000.

TURMOIL, CONFUSION AND NEAR-FIG TIT IN NATIONAL
 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

shington.-Amid turmoil and confusion, the House of Representas- tives voted today to impeaeh Federal Judge English, of the Eastern district of Illinois. on the charge of 'high misdemeanor" in office The vote was 306 to 62. English can resign and escape further proceedings, but if he persists in retaining his post he will have to stand trial before the Senate, on five articles of the indictment.
 The vote was called in the House after three days of debate, which cul- minated in a near fist fight between members. Representative F. J. Gar rett, of Tennesssse. Democratic floor leader, started the row when he moved to recommit the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary committee to hear additional testimony. The motion was rejected, PTS to 90. Rep resentative Rankin, Democrat, of Mis- sissippi, then suggested the absence of quorum, whereupon Mills, Repub ican, of New York, urged that the de- mand for roll call be not passed. Rankin insisted, and Mills, walking across the aisle toward the Mississip- plan, said: "It's damn mean thing to keep twenty men here" But he was interrupted before he could finish by Rankin. who, shaking his fist at the New Yorker, warned him to "get on your own side of the house. Mills came back with, "You can't insult me, you dirty, contemptible scoundrel," and the men approached each other, ready to fight it out with their fists, when Loughton, Democrat, of North Carolina, intervened
 Still struggling to reach the New Yorker, Rankin started to hurl vile epithet, but immediately withdrew the remark. explaining later that he would 'not call any white man that"

PARKS EXPLAINS HOSPITAL
 PLANS FOR RIVER WORK

Seattle.-The floating hospital that is to begin functioning on the Yukon river and it's tributaries during the coming season, under the provisions of clause contained in the Interior Department appropriation bill, will carry a physician and two trained nurses, according to Governor of Alaska George A. Parks, who was in strumental in securing the new ser vice.
 The hospital ship, the Governor says, will serve five thousand natives and whites in the, interior country, where they now have ''only two doc tors and three nurses. When an cpl demic occurs, it takes days and some times weeks to get medical assistance. Most of the natives live along the river, so that the hospital ship will be able to reach practically all of them. The medical staff will make a sanitary survey and instruct the na- tives how to care for themselves"
 The money will be available, the Governor says, so that the first voy- age can be made as soon as naviga- tion opens.

STILL GIVING

They used to give the editor
All sorts of things to eat
And often for subscription
They would barter corn and whea
If he mentioned something special
Or remarked that it was nice,
Ten to one he'd get melon,
Or a mess of fish on ice.
They used to give the editor
A bouquet now and then
In the shape of beets or cabbage,
Or occasionally hen;
They used to bring him pumpkins
And potatoes by the peck,
But now they bring him nothing
And he gets it in the neck.
They used to give the editor
Advice when he was slack,
Being awfully long in the theory
But mighty short on jack
But now the times are different,
And the gifts are not so swell
Fer if he doesn't do things right,
They call up and give him hell
