DAN SUTHERLAND MAKES ANSWER
 TO TREADWAY
SAYS FISH MONOPOLY WOULD MAKE ANGELS OF HIGH
 HEAVEN WEEP

WASHINGTON, D. e., Jan. z (P)- Replying to the attacks of Representa- tive Treadway of Massachusetts, Dele gate Dan Sutherland, Alaskan repre- sentative said: "Give us self-govern- ment for Alaska and you will get rid of the paternalism you complain of. Sutherland claimed that Secretary Hoover is responsible for the alleged fisheries monopoly, and declared, Tt is a sight to make the angels in heaV- en weep to see the high priest of American monopoly twisting the h. dian rubber tail of the British lion.
 Sutherland complained there is a monopoly in Alaskan transportation due to the provisions of the Jones Shipping Act and urged Congress to break up the fish monopoly. He said there are more independent fisheries in British Columbia having about a fourth of the resources, than in Alas ka. He said he cauld place the Alaska Railroad on the New York market to- morrow if it granted the same con sessions in minerals that California railroads were donated in the pioneer days.
 He said the reason for the decrease in population in Alaska was a general movement toward the cities, which has decreased the agricultural popu lation in twenty states. He urged a more liberal policy for Alaska in land and forests, and said the Standard Oil Company has not received square deal, considering the amount of money it is spending in Alaska, and that it should be given greater concessions.

Kodiak Doctor Eludes
 Guards, But Later Returns

Dr. E. M. McKibben, alleged to be one, E. M. Webb, who was arrested at Kodiak few days ago, charged with forging the name of McKibben, a former Seattle physician, and to have used the name in obtaining the appointment of U s. commissioner at Kodiak, made a successful escape from his guards last week at Kodiak, according to arrivals in Seward yes terday on the Admiral Watson.
 It was stated that Dr. McKibben was administering treatment to a pa tient, while under guard, and made his escape through a rear door. A search was immediately made for him but he could not be located. A note was found later, presumably left by the doctor, in which he said that aft er the departure of the Admiral Wat. son, which vessel had been, laying in port for many hours, he would put in an appearance, but due to the fact that he was innocent of the charges and many Kodiak citizens were in need ot a physician, he did not want to be taken away to stand trial at this time on a false accusation.
 Numerous citizens at Kodiak have carefully gone over his records and affidavits, it is stated, and pronounce that his certificates and letters reveal conclusively that wrong charge has been made.
