VALUE IF ALASKA'S
 EXPORT COMMERCE
 1927 FELL SHORT
DROP SHOWN IN SALMON PACK; TOTAL EXPORTS $23,873,o32
 UNDER 1926

The value of shipments from Alas ka last year as shown by the annual report of the United States customs service registered a decline of $23,- 873,O32 as compared with the previous year, the total for 1927 being $57,O77,- 96s.
 However, in spite of the decline, Alaska ended the year with a favor able trade balance amounting to $21,- 185,249, and there is every Indication that the total for 1928, due to the pros poets for paper pulp manufacture, will show a substantial increase.
 The drop in the value of exports last year Is due mainly to the unprece- dented decrease in the size of the sal mon pack. The value of 1927 totaled s27,223,447 as compared to $48,336,013, drop of s21,112,566 The produc- tion of copper also showed decline, the decrease amounting to more than
 100000.
 The value of gold and silver ship ped from the Territory showed a de- crease, dropping from s6,160,942 to $5,744,S3S. A marked increase was recorded in the value of furs and skins shipped to the states, the total of s4,2S6,126 comparing with s2,S95,- 703 for 1926, an increase of $1,300,429 or more than 40 per cent.
 Concerning the decrease in the val ue of minerals produced last year, the treasury departments report dis counts the indications of a retrogres- sion in the mining industry.
 While the bare figures, taken by themselves, show a decrease in the mineral production of Alaska in 1927 from the former year," says the re- port. "yet such figures should not be taken as marking retrogression in the mining industry Such is not the case, ccording to the yearly investiga- tions made by the geological survey throughout the territory. Many of the conditions that explain the de- creases are of themselves such as to indicate increased production in the future Tn many districts the gather ing together and consolidation of a large number of claims formerly oper- ated separately, the careful study of economical methods of mining the ground, the purchase of suitable ma- chinery and equipment and the un- dertaking of large engineering feats, clearly forecast more productive work in the near future, and those are the conditions which prevail in many of the mining districts throughout the Territory"

 Convinced the two had been slain, the police suggested two possible motives One was that the boys were attacked by moron, bound and tossed into the water. The other was that the parents or guardians. tiring of the responsibilities of parenthood or desiring to gain an inheritance, tossed the boys into the muddy waters. No report of missing chill dren have been made in this vicinity. Scores of persons viewed the body of the first boy found but none identl- fled him.
 To satisfy themselves that no other bodies are in the canal. the police planned to drag it for more than a mile today.
 Because the two bodies bore strik- ing resemblances to each other and were dressed alike, police and county coroner believe them to be brothers. apparently from family in easy circumstances.

CHEMIST SOUGHT
 FOR QUESTIONING
Burning Murder'' Mystery Far
 From Solved

New York. March LPp-Investi- gation into the burning to death of Miss Margaret Brown near Ber- nardsville. N. J.. February 20. cen tered in this city today with police seeking Louis Clement, a chemist, for questioning.
 Police made it clear they had no evidence as to who actually set fire 10 the unconscious woman's cloth ing. but they said they were seeking Clement, who was known by the title doctor" because his photograph re- sembled that of a man Miss Brown had pointed out as her fiance.
 Mrs. Emily Miller. a friend of the dead woman's and the only person known to have seen her in company with her fiance. said while she was not positive the photograph resem- bled the man she knew as her friends acquaintance, Miss Brown had told her sometime before she was killed that she was engaged to marry a "Dr. Clements" or Clemen.
 The man sought is the same Doc tor" Clement who was indicted in 1928 charged with defrauding two women out of s2,000 in connection with an alleged gasoline substitute. This indictment was quashed later.
 New Jersey police also were seek ing a Harry Siegal. 36 years old. of Utica, \. Y., for questioning ill con- nection with the murder. Sicgal has been sought by Bayonne. N. J. police since December when he jumped a S2,000 bond after his arrest on a charge of defrauding Mary Kula. a domestic, out of s1,30o, He is want ed by the police of Gutenberg, N. J., OH q similar charge.
 The police admitted their only reason for seeking Siegal was be- cause of his record for preying on women.
 Doctor" Clement IS described as about 55 years old. feet 6 inches in height, weighing 1S0 pounds. high forehead and noticeably high cheek bones, long tapering fingers, well kept, and unusually small feet He wears pince-nez glasses and dresses fashionably.

INCREASE EXPORTS 0f U. 5. TOBACCO
Leaf Passes Half Billion Mark
 in 1927
BY GEORGE H. MANNING

(WaQlington Bureau o1 the \. D. teldlo] Washington, D. C.. March 2.-Ex- ports of American leaf tobacco passed the half-billion mark in 1927. making tho year one of the four banner years in the history of the American tobacco industry.
 A total of 506,0o0.000 pounds of American leaf tobacco. not including stems. trimmings. and scrap. were sold to foreign markets during the year. bringing s1S9,000,0o0 to the United States industry.
 This is the heaviest exportation of leaf tobacco since 1924. when ex- ports totaled 546.000.oo0 pounds. valued at $163,000,00o. In 1919 and again in 1921 the half-billion mark was passed, when exports amounted respectively to 77s.0oo,o00 and b15.- 000.000 pounds.
 Crop Declines, Price Goes Up United States production in 1927 amounted to 1,237.S32.000 pounds, reduction of 60,oo0.o0o pounds from the crop of 1926. which also repre- scented reduction of 19,000.ooo pounds from the crop of 1925. Thus American growers have decreased their production within the last two years by 139, 100000 pounds. with the net result that they received nearly cents per pound more for the crop of 1927. The average price paid to growers In 1927 was 2l.9 cents per pound.

MILLER DIVORCE STOPS
 COLBY GETTING FREEDOM
French Courts Frightened Up After Pickford and Wife Were
 Separated.

Paris March 2.-tPp-A divorce granted Marilyn Miller. musical comedy actress is attributed the fact that the divorce mills of Paris today grind a small grist of American di- vorces. It was held largely re- sponsible for the failure of Bain- bridge Colby, former American secretary of state. to break his mar riage ties.
 When Miss Miller came to France last summer to obtain a divorce from Jack Pickford, screen actor, she was quoted as having remarked that a divorce was easily obtained in France. Despite comment she was granted a decree a few months later.
 Louis Barthou, minister of justice, noted that widespread comment in America on her case was unfavor- able to France. He immediately is- sued a strict order that in courts throughout the country the law must be compiled with literally. Jurists were warned that any judge disre- garding this might be placed on the retired list.
 Judges began informing petition CTS that it was just as easy to ob- tain a divorce in America, and cheaper. They pointed out that in France plaintiffs would have to con- ply with the laws of that country as well as the laws of their home states.
 The Versailles court in refusing to act in the Colby suit emphasized how literally the law could be taken. The court found that Mir. Colby had apparently not given up his home in the United States and thus was not under the Jurisdiction of the court The court, therefore, declared itself incompetent.
