 The delegates and alternates from Alaska authorized their mem- bel of the resolutions committee 10 press for adoption in the report Of the committee to the convention, the following clause:
 We favor granting to the peoDl.. of Alaska the usual form of Terri tCrial government, similar to th3+ accorded to all Territories withm the United States and we hold thar officials appointed to administer tne government of any Territory should be bona fide residents of the Tor ritOrv in which their duties are ,O be performed"
 There was but one ballot taken in the convention for either President or Vice President, and the Alaska de- legation in each instance voted for the men nominated, Herbert HoOvaI and Charles Curtis.

MARINES WARY
Of AMBUSH

MANAGUA, Jan. 20. - United
States Marine headquarters is not
yet satisfied that reports OF the death
of General SANDING, rebel leader, are
correct.
The Marines are proceeding with
the utmost caution in moving for
ward in the Ell Chipote region, for
merly held by SANDING, lest the with
drawal of his forces and reports of
his death constitute maneuver to
lead the Marines into position
where they may be attacked. There
are some fears also that SANDING has
mined the region heavily and re-
tired.
While 1t is apparent that there has
been a withdrawal of Sandistas and
there are indications Of some defec-
tons from the rebel ranks, Marine
headquarters is fully cognizant OF a
still dangerous situation.
A skirmish near Leon Is accepted
as indication that the rebels have
not given up the fight, and there
is a growing belief that the with.
drawaIs around FL Chipote are in the
nature of a strategic move.

fox PARENTS
To HEAR TRIAL

LOS ANGELES, Calf. Jan 90
The father and mother of William
Edward Hickman will be present
when their son goes on trial for M
life next Wednesday on charge -
kidnaping and numbering l2-year-
old Marian Parker.
This was virtually assured here
today by well-grounded reports that
Thomas Hickman, father of the
youthful kidnaper-slayer, is on his
wav here from Ell Paso, Tex, and
that Mrs. Eva Hickman, the mother,
is accompanying Jerome Walsh,
chief defense counsel, whose arrival
from Kansas City is expected Sat
urday.
Whether the parents will take the
stand during the trial. and what, IL
any. their testimony would be, was
not divulged by Richard Cant1llon,
attorney associated in the defense or
the FOX" 1t is thought by foi-
lowers of the case, however, that
Hickman's attorneys may call upon
the parents to testify in an effort to
establish hereditary insanity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hickman have been
separated for several years.
Several defense witnesses in addl-
ton to Mrs. Hickman are accom-
panying the young Kansas City at
torney on his return trip to Los An
geles, according to word received by
'Cantillon. These are a physician OF
Tulsa, Okla, Kansas City high
school principal, and former po-
lice official of Kansas City.
Reports that defense counsel would
ask for a deferral of the trial date
were discounted by Cantillon.
Both State and defense alienists
continued to conduct their sanity
tests in Hickman's cell today.

AIR HERO GETS
CHENEY PRIZE

Saving the lives of four compan.
ions at the risk of his own, Master
Sergt. Harry A. Chapman, Nine
teenth Airship Company, Langley
Field, Va, is today the proud pos
SCISSOR of the Cheney award, having
been selected by the award board to
be the first to receive this honor,
according to an announcement made
by Maj. Gen. James E. Fechet,
chief of the Air Corps.
The recipient was one of the
crew Of the United States Army
airship Roma when it crashed and
was destroyed February 81, 1922.
Fire broke out Immediately after
the airship crashed and Sergeant
Chapman with four companions was
entrapped in a canvas-enclosed COM
partment, escape being cut off by
the flames. While the fire was
| raging around him, Chapman cut
an opening through the canvas, but
| instead of making his escape he
| helped his four companions to save
| their lives and in so doing was
severely burned before he could
make his escape. For several days
little hope was entertained for his
recovery.
Sergeant Chapman displayed great
bravery and presence of mind under
most trying circumstances and was
commended for his conduct in
orders by General Pershing. Chap
man has served continuously for
nine years and has been stationed
at Langley Field since the Roma
disaster. He is stated to be "a SUI
perior soldier and an expert airship
rigger," by his superior officers.
The Cheney award was established
in memory Of First Lieutenant Will
liam III. Cheney, Air Corps, who
was killed in an air collision at
Foggia, Italy, January 90, 1913, the
donors OF the award being Mrs.
Mary L. c.. Schofield, of Peterboro,
N. H., and Mrs. Ruth Cheney
Streeter, OF Morristown, N. j.,
mother and sister. respectively. of
Lieutenant Cheney, who set aside a
trust fund of $4,000, the interest
Of which is used for the making of
a bronze plaque suitably inscribed
with the name of the recipient who
also received certificate of award
and a sum of money coming from
the income of the trust fund.
