Ross Introduced Measure for
College-Fish Commits
: sion Bills Discussed.

Carrying Appropriation items ag-
ply bill for the Alaska Agricultural
College and School of Mines was
introduced today by Representative
Ross. 1t was referred to the Com
mittee on Ways and Means of which
he is chairman.
This is approximately equal to the
amount appropriated by the 1928
Legislature. The current bill provides
for construction of a dormitory for
women students, for extension
courses, an agricultural project and
the normal cost of maintenance and
operation for the biennium.
Discuss Fish Bills
After Bill No. IA, repeating acts
under which the present Alaska
Fish Commission operates. had pass
ed its second reading this morning.
the House took up for consideration
in Committee of the Whole Bill No.
IS. which seeks to provide for an
elective commission. No definite ac-
ton had been taken on any of the
amendments suggested when the
House recessed at noon.
The provisions of the measure, Mr..
Lomen pointed, out from the floor,
are loosely drawn and under them
enormous expenditures of Territorial
funds might be made as no check
is provided. The proposed commits
sion is given power to approve Of
its own expenditures. The House
resumed its consideration of the
measure this afternoon when it was
expected other amendments would be
offered.
House Bill No 13, which seeks
the repeal of the Act of 1917. the
original fish commission statute, was
later this afternoon. If it passes, No
II. will probably be passed also.
Without the 1917 Act, the law passed
in 1919, the repeal of which is sought
in Bill No. ii, is said by reliable
authority to be imperative, thus tho
fectually kill the present Commits
sion.
Rccommits Two Bills
Two measures were recommitted
by the House today. No. 6, author
izing the appointment OF City Man
ayers, was referred by unanimous
consent to the Committee on Judi
ciary No. 10, increasing Territorial
financial aid to schools. was recon-
mitted to the Committee on Educa,
tion for further consideration
In addition to the College appro-
cd House Bill No. 25. authorizing
town councils to empower city mag
istrates to hear civil actions. It was
referred to the Committee on Judi
ciary.
House Joint Memorial No. 6, by
Speaker Smith, was introduced. It
requests Congressional enactment Of
law which would put the Alaska
Railroad on par with other com.
mon carriers. allowing it to be sued
for personal injuries to passengers
or employees. and for any breach
of contract for which railway lines
may ordinarily be sued.
Recommends School Bill
The Ways and Means Committee
today unanimously reported favorably
on Mr. Grier's bill appropriating $2O,-
600 for the construction of school
building at the Jesse Lee Home 10.
Gated near Seward. 1t also reported
for passage House Bill No. II, ap-

The District Commissioners today
continued to await a reply to their
cablegram inviting Capt. Lindbergh to
Washington upon his triumphal re-
turn from Europe.
The delay of the heroic trans
atlantic flyer in answering the invita-
ton, has necessarily postponed the
formulation of plans for his welcome.
If he accepts. the Commissioners pro-
pose Immediately to appoint an Of

and direct it to proceed without de-
lay on plans for an elaborate public
celebration.
Apparently anticipating an accept
ance by Capt. Lindbergh, various
business interests, hotels and manu-
facturers of paraphernalia used in
public celebrations are swamping the
Commissioners with offers of assist
ance. Several prominent Washing
ton hotels are vying for the honor of
housing the noted flying ace, while
different automobile agencies already
have volunteered to furnish cars for
him and his encourage. An Ohio lum-
ber firm also has made an attractive
offer for furnishing artistic columns

whether English banks will continue
to rediscount Russian bills for ship
pers of European goods to Russia,
seems to have been answered in the
affirmative.
At big meeting here OF representa-
tives of various so-called Russian
trade companies, all of which include
Russians and Germans, and in many
of which the Russian government has
a. 81 per cent interest, 1t was an
nounced word had been received from
England that British banks would
continue their work Of rediscountng
bills.
This decision is further confirmed
by information received by certain
Austrian bank, which has excellent
British relations. that the attitude and
practice of British banks will not be
change by the break in relations. IL
confirmed this means the English will
not use their strongest and to many
observers only efficacious weapon
against Russia.
So long as British banks continue
to discount bills for deliveries TO Rus
sia the Russians can continue to place
orders formerly filled by England in
other countries.
The correspondent is informed that
such orders already are being placed
in France and Italy.

PRAISES
MARINE OFFICERS
Gives Credit to Three for
Work Toward Ending War
in Nicaragua.

While praising the Navy and Ma.
rine Corps in general for their CO.
operation, especial credit Is due to
three Marine officers for ending the
civil war in Nicaragua, according to
Henry l.. Stimson. who, as personal
representative of President Coolidge,
succeeded in arranging a truce be-
tween beligerent forces.
The three Marines are Maj. Marion
B. Humphrey of Wyoming and Lieuts.
F.. j. Moran and Julian N. Frisbie.
both of Illinois.
The work of these men "in penetrat-
ing the lines of the insurgent army
and persuading Gen. Moncada of that
army to come with them to meet me
in conference, was performed under
considerable difficulties and against
the opposition of Gen. Moncada's sub
Mr.. Stimson in q letter to Secretary
Wilbur, made public last night.
"It resulted in bringing about the
opportunity for terminating the war;"
Four other officers, Rear Admiral
Julian Latimer, Brig. Gen. Logan G..
Feland of the Marine Corps, and
Capt. Weaver Of the destroyer Pres
ton, and Capt. Joseph Taussig of the
cruiser Trenton, were others singled
out by Mr.. Stimson as deserving high
praise.
Admiral Latimer, he said, was a
valuable adviser in almost every de-
cision that had to be made. He
praised Gen. Feland for his general
judgment and app 'aisal of the entire
situation" and for his tact in dispos-
ing Of his land forces during the dis
arming of the contending armies to
prevent clashes with the Americans.
Lauds Tact of Soldiers.

STUDENTS REGRET
LOSS OF WOOLLEY
Failure to Reappoint Yale
Dramatic Association
Coach Attacked.
By the Associated Press.

by the ASsOcldteu &Etscs
NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 2S.-An'
nouncement of Edgar M. Wooley
resignation as coach of the Yale Dra-
matte Association has elected many
expressions Of regret from Yale un-
dergraduates. The resignation was an
nounced a few hours after 1t became
known that he had been refused re-
appointment on the faculty.
The Yale Daily News later published
A. letter from Charles T. Bingham,
president Of the Dramat and son of
United States Senator Hiram Blng-
ham, in which he protested against
the action Of the Yale Corporation. The
communication was addressed to the
chairman of the News and the Yale un-
dergraduate body.
InsuIted, Letter Says.
'We feel quite frankly that Mr..
Woolley has bren directly insulted In
that he has been dismissed scarcely
a. month before the end of the year."
the letter said.
AFTER what Mr.. Woolley has done
for the Dramatic Association, the
Dramat refuses to remain passive and
see him thrown out merely, as we
see 1t, for the convenience of a grad.
uate department of the university. The
Dramat understands that Mr.. Woolley
cannot possibly to save his self-respect,
stay at Yale after this year under any
circumstances without a faculty ap.
pointment, and we therefore accept
his resignation, but. let me add what
this will mean to us.
"It may mean the resignation OF the
executive committee Of the Dramatic
Association and the complete dissolu-
ton Of that whole organization.
Paper Voices Opposition.
"rhis action on the part of the cor.
poration seems to us to mean no less
than that they, deliberately knowing
that Mr.. Woolley IL not given some
faculty appointment, saw fit to sacri-
flee the future of the hitherto remark.
able and unequaled undergraduate
work in dramatics to the best interests
of less than 1875 men and their profes-
sional school,"
The Yale Daily News, the under
graduate organ, also expresses its
opposition to the corporations action
in failing to reappoint Woolley.
