GOV. DAN MOODY
 WINS IN TEXAS. STATE MEETING
Lone Star Delegation for Dry Plank and Dry Can-
 didate but for Ticket

BEAUMONT, Tex, May A. After a series of dramatic vic tories in which steam roller tac- tics played an important part, Gov. Dan Moody, the harmony program" leader, emerged from the Texas Democratic State, con- yention fight in complete com mand of the situation, finally de- feating the extreme" factions in every phase of the convention battle. Sixty delegates with for ty votes, instructed to vote for a dry plank in the National plat form and dry candidate for the P S i q n tial nomination, but bound to support the nominee of the National convention, were elected. Gov. Moody will head the delegation.
 Gov. Moody defeated both the attempt to secure representation for Gov. Alfred E. Smith on the delegation and the attempt to have the delegation instructed against Gov. Smith.
 The result of the convention was a complete fruition of the original plan of Gov. Moody. When the convention met Gov. Moody and the Smith faction combined to defeat the Ku Klux Klan and the ultra drys who would be satisfied with nothing less that a denunciation of Gov. Smith and positive instructions to the delegation to the National Convention to oppose his nom- ination. Gov. Moody then secur- ed control of majority over all in the convention after the contests had been ended and all the county delegations seated, and his majority went through with it's program without a hitch, but having to fight all the way.
 The situation was aggravated by charges of the Klan crowd that GC'. Moody had "sold out" to the Smith forces, and that the sale contemplated a division of the delegates.
 When Gov. Moody's organiza- tion got into action some of the Smith leaders declared that they had been double-crossed.

'SEAPLANE OF FISHING 60.
 HERE TODAY
Is to Be Used in Spotting Salmon for Baranof
 Mild Cure Concern

The Alexander EagIerock sea- plane of the Barahof Mild Cure Company, Inc, of Seattle, ar rived in Juneau shortly after II o'clock this morning from Moves Island, after being in the air ap- proximately three hours.
 c. P. Hutchinson, manager of the two scows which the com pany is employing this season in the mild curing of salmon, and Walter H. Reamer, pilot. made the trip to Juneau with the plane for business purposes, and planned to leave again early this afternoon.
 Equipped with a 90 horsepower motor, the plane is as economical as a Packard automobile. in the words of MT Hutchinson, who said a gallon of gas would oper- ate the plane eight or nine knots
 The plane was built in Denver and is of the double pontoon type. The 2O4-mile trip from Moves Island was made in three hours, Pilot Reamer said. Dur ing the fishing season. the plane will be used for scanning the fishing districts, to see where the fish are rum ing in the largest numbers.
 Two new, large scows, both powered, will be ready to leave for the vicinity of the salmon when the pilot returns with his report. This method is some thing new to Alaska, and is in the nature of an experiment.
 Both men spoke favorably of the outfit of their company, de- claring it is one of the finest. in the country, and without doubt the fastest. The scows are 20 by 80 feet, and were brought from Seattle last week. with the plane on the deck of one.
 Before coming down today the plane eircled the Channel in search of place 10 land. The men it first decided to run to the beach at Tnane and then spotted the small spit north of the Alaska Juneau rock dump. The plane was landed in the Channel and taxied to the beach.

 It Is Not Good

REGRET OVER VETO

CHICAGO, May "A. - Many prominent agricultural leaders throughout the Middle West ex- pressed disappointment and re- gret over the Presidential veto of the farm relief bill, while dairy farmers of Wisconsin applauded the Presidents action.
 A number of Republican can didates for State offices decried the veto and some Democrats in vited the helpless minority Re publican Party to join" with them and obtain efficient re- lief"
 Claude Mackenzie, of St. Paul, Republican National Committee man, said: 'It is regrettable the F esident could not sign the bill"
 Frank Murphy, Minnesota member of the Resolutions Com mittee at the coming National Republican Convention, termed the Presidents action as the most amazing and unwarranted official act of any President in the last half century,"

CAPT. WHITNEY
 GOING SOUTH
Terminates 30 Years Serv- ice in Alaska as h.
 spector of Hulls

Capt. George H. Whitney, for 30 years U. s. Local Inspector of Hulls, here, and Mrs. Whitney will leave tomorrow on the steam CT Admiral Rogers, on their way to Berkeley, Cal, where they will make their home in the future, Capt. Whitney's resignation, ten dered to the U. s. Department of Commerce, the middle of April, having been accepted.
 Having first come to the Terri. tory in 1895 as mate on a steam. CT, Capt. Whitney engaged in the steamship business in Alaska for some time before returning to San Francisco. He was appoint ed to the position of Inspector of Hulls on May 2, 1898, arrived in Alaska on May IF of the same year and has held that position continually since that time. He leaves the Territory with an un. usually excellent record, as in the thirty years he held office here he has never been "called on the carpet" by the department which he served.
 Aside from holding a fine re- cord as an official, Capt. Whit ney has been interested in vari- ous mining properties, and has taken an active interest in the affairs of his adopted country. and the organizations to which he be- longed.
 One of the chief reasons for the retirement of Capt. Whitney is the ill health of Mrs. Whitney, who has been an invalid for the last three years. He expects that the change to milder climate may be beneficial to her.
 It is understood that a man who has been connected with the Department of Commerce in the States has been chosen to sue ceed Capt. Whitney in Alaska and that he will arrive before the personnel of the office here leaves for the annual trip of in. spection to the westward on June I6.

FARM RELIEF PASSED BACK
 TO CONGRESS
Two Plans Indicated Fol- lowing Presidents
 Veto of Measure

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 24 Whether there will be any form of farm relief enacted this ses- sion is now up to Congress fol lowing the Presidents veto.
 The Senate and House have the choice of repassing the bill with out the equalization fee or at tempt to override the veto. Much doubt as to the latter course is indicated.
 President Coolidge vetoed the bill on the grounds of constitu- tionality because the "so-called equalization fee and other fea- trues of the old measure are still prejudicial in my opinion to a sound public policy and to agri- culture"

MANY DELEGATE. SEATS DISPUTED 6. O.P. CONCLAvE
Scores of Republican Dele gates to Contest for
 Seats, Kansas City

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Riv- al Republican factions in more than a half dozen Southern States intend to carry their fights for recognition and supremacy to Kansas City for settlement by the Republican National Convention. The outcome of these contests is likely to have at least some bear ing on the National convention s choice, three weeks hence, for the Republican Presidential nom- ination.
 A good sized crop of contests for delegates seats has developed. The Republican National Com mittee has already been notified that the credentials of Al of the 1,0S9 delegates will be in dis pute. There are indications that a still larger number will be challenged before the National convention meets.
 Of the contests already filed, entire delegations from Louisiana and Mississippi are in the dis puted column with twelve con- vention votes at stake in each delegation. Others involve nine seats from Florida, three from Georgia, two each from Kentucky and the District of Columbia and one from Tennessee.
 It is expected that there will be at least two contesting dele gations from Texas.

 MT. Lamme's daughter, Rosalie, was refused admission to the high school last November becuase she was not dressed according to rules "a plain white cotton middle with not more than three straight rows of braid on the collar and sleeves and black tie and navy blue skirt.

Mexico Expects Oregon
 To Keep Calles' Policies
By CLARENCE DUBOSE Associated Press Correspondent)

MEXICO CITY, May 24-The Gales Obregon regime seems firmly intrenched in Mexico.
 The present prospect is that General Alvaro Obregon, former president, will again become pres ident December 1, for term of six years, and that for the second time since the Madero revolution overthrow in 1910 Porfirio Diaz, dictator for 30 years preceding, there will be change in the Mexican presidential power unac- companied by violence.
 The first peaceful transfer since 1910 was four years ago from Obregon to General Plutarco Elias Gales, the present chief execu- tive. There are some who go so far as to predict that six years hence Gales will once more re- succeed Obregon.
 Any prediction is rash in this land of volatile politics and fiery traditions. There is an old say ing, pretty well sustained by his toric facts, that the unexpected may always be expected here. Any forecast may not be worth the paper it is written on even few hours l after the writing much less after a few years.
 Not. Prophecy
 So, this is not prophecy. It is a report that the prevalent we'll informed, unbiased opinion in Mexico City now is that Gales and Obregon are in the saddle with a good firm seat and that a lot of bucking will be necessary to dislodge them-as long as they do not squabble with each other as to which shall sit in front at any given time. As team they rule the roost. Divided, one would certainly fall, both might, and in either process Mexico could well be thrown into another long pe- riod of bloodshed and civil strife.
 Many persons consider the Cal les-Obregon dominance good thing for Mexico. Not all think so, by any means There are those who would pay almost any price, even that of again plung- ing the country into disorder that might force foreign intervention, in order to get rid of the pair even to get rid of only one of them.
 Only Gossip
 Therefore, gossip that there is or may be trouble between them is common enough at the capitol. For picture in true perspective this must be accepted only as gossip. Perhaps to no small ex- tent the wish is father to the thought. Unless Gales and Obre- gon themselves are rarely skilled in assuming roles, unless they are gifted prevaricators, unless al most every unpreiudiced observ- CT in Mexico City is badly fooled, they are as close today. personal ly and politically. as they have ever been in their lives.
