Washington. Congress went into high
gear after listening to the reading of the
annual message of President Collidge but
without waiting to complete the formal
ties OF actual organization, a problem still
worrying the Republican majority in the
Senate because of factional strife.

ward l.. Doheny were re, elected to the
Board of Directors of the American Pc

right to office would be challenged because

that any III uta treaty OF limitation VIII
call on US tor more ships, may seem to
rule out any future conferences IN ad-
vance but it did not arouse enmlty or
make the slightest difference to the
naval policy of Great Britain. That policy
is based on long experience OF the vital
ends Of national defence. Its prlncl-
pies in no way contrast with those which
President Coolidge's has laid down. 1t
is for the Government and the people OF
the United States to estimate their mari
time requirements. We can only con-
slider our own. What has always been
made perfectly clear is that we shall
not dream of building in competition
with the United States. Our needs can
not be determined by theirs. The DAILY
Chronicle says" the question as to
what constituted adequate defence tor
America is not enc win which We can
concern ourselves. Ii we had reason 10
doubt her peaceful intentions we could
not be Indifferent to H.. But we nave
no shadow OF reason for doubling them
and can therefore accept for ourselves
the principle laid down for America,
that there shall be no competition, that
we will build what WE need for defence
and no more.
London, Dec. 7th-A new high fire.
quency electrical furnace for melting
steel was demonstrated yesterday at the
Sheffield Works of Edgar Allen and
Company. The furnace is the first OF It's
kind in the world to be used commercial
ly for the manufacture of high quality
tool steel. 1t marks strikingly an adj
vance on the old established cruclble
process in which pots, containing about
sixty pounds OF material, are heated by
coke or gas fire. In the new furnace
about $50 pounds of steel are heated
10 one hour. The heat is net put into
the furnace from outside, but IS In
duced within it by means OF an alter
mating current OF electricity. The walls
of the crucible merely serve the pur-
pose Of a cUDtaiGer and The furnace IT
self is contained 10 the square wooden
box which remains cool. Inc new pro-
cess eliminates the eXacIng tasks
necessitated by the methods now In use
and ensures better conditions Tor opera
tives, both as regards 10 cleanliness and
physical comfort. The purity OF the
steel produced is one of the technical
advantages of the new process. HaV.
ing no contact with the fuel, the steel
is extraordinarily free from sulphur and
PHOSPHORUS effects. 1t is estimated
that whereas the cost of melting a ton
OF high speed steel under the old pro-
cess ranges from 16 to "a pounds sterl-

Quoted a months hunger strike. Fin
ally three alienists were called in to
examine him and on their report he
was removed to the Psychopathic
hospital in Boston. There he was
forcibly fed once, then abandoned
the strike from which he appeared
to have suffered no serious effects.
While in the Boston institution
Sacco attempted suicide by striking
his head against a piece of furniture.
Only slight wound was inflicted.
The alienists on March q, 1923. de-
clared him sane, and he was recon-
mitted to the Dedham jail.
In December. 1924, the question
of Vanzetti's sanity was brought up.
In January, 1925, he was taken to
the Bridgwater state hospital for
observation. He was found sane in
April of that year and was returned

1926. On the representation that he
might be needed as witness, Ma

TOURIST TRAVEL TO
 DAWSON SHOWS GAIN
tDawson News)

Tourist travel to the Northland is growing every year. According to the figures compiled for this season from the steamer passen- ger lists a total of 1,791 passen- gers arrived in Dawson this sea son. Of this number 1860 were tourists or those who were on a short holiday trip to this country. Last year the number of out siders who touched upon the shores of the gold metropolis was estimated at L300. Therefore the number this year was about sixty more than the number recorded for last season. The 1900 mark of 1926 shattered all other high figures for visitors to Dawson so now 1927 steps in for the honors. Next year. according to all indi- cations, the tourist travel to this country will be even heavier than that of the past season so an other record will most likely be broken again.

PARKER PARTY ENDS END|COTT
 RIVER SURVEY
Runs Line from Mouth of River to Point One Mile
 Below Upper Basin

After four months work on a preliminary survey up Endicott River, Engineer Tom Parker, U. s. Bureau of Public Roads. returned here this morning on the tender Highway. Capt. Ed. Clark. The crew and floating camp will be brought to Aux Bay Saturday by the tender.
 MT. Parker's survey was car ried to a point 13 miles from the mouth of the river and work end ed about one mile below the up per basin. Owing to the rugged character of the country ani heavy undergrowth it was neces- sary to virtually construct a trail most of the distance. The line runs along the north bank of the river and is we'll brushed out.
 The crew was the first of three engaged in similar work to take the field last summer. starting in June. Another did similar work on Chichagof Island. later goinG to the Hyder district. and third is surveying route up Chicka- min River. The purpose of the work was to establish the feasi- bility and probable cost of con- structing trails or low tyne de- velopment roads into districts considered favorable for prospect ing.
 The crew making the Endicott River survey ran the line which is well brushed out, made pro- files and ran some cross section lines to establish the nature of the country.
 On it's return here it will be sent to Petersburg to survey an extension of the Petersburg -Scow Bay road from the latter point to Mountain Point.
