Judge, Doctor and Captain Exchange Friendly
 Greetings by Wire


 According 10 the COrdova Times Capt. A. E. Lathrop, representing the regular" administration Re publieans, recently elected Repub- lican National Committeeman for Alaska, was approached by Judge James Wiekersham and Dr. w. II. Chase, of the "insurgent" Repub- licans, with the evident purpose of establishing friendly relations, and Capt Lathrop met the ap- preachers half way, and now peace reigns.
 Capt Lathrop, on an admin. stration" slate, was elected Re publican National Committeeman over Major George w. Albrecht, who was the candidate of the so-called Wickersham-Su Sutherland Paul insurgent Republican faction. On the other hand, Judge Wick ersham and Dr. Chase of the lat ter faction defeated the "admini- stration" slate for delegates to the Republican National conven ton.
 The Cordova Times, under the heading, Party Promises Coop eration With Captain Dafhrop ' tells the story of the reconcilia tion gesture and response, as fol lows:
 This year, to all appearances, the Democrats tried to break the Republican ranks by having no contest in their own ranks. Hun dreds of good Democrats played gleefully with the Republican pri- mary ballots, and failed.
 For today the Republican rank holds staunch and solid. The Re publicans who will represent AL aska at Kansas City will go as friends, and as the result of a move on the part of the so-called Wickersham force against the so- called Lathrop camp.
 Perhaps the two camps have different objectiyes even today, and perhaps they may never meet personally, but. for the good of the party, in loyalty to their own party ideals, they have reached out their hands and shake, pledg- ing mutual cooperation, forget ting the conflicts of the past, bound solidly for constructive legislation as far as they are able to secure it.
 "The following cable was sent by Dr. Will II. Chase and James Wickersham to Captain A. E. Lathrop, as the indication on the part of his supposedly opponents, that the party interest must come before all else:
 Capt. Austin E. Lathrop,
 Anchorage, Alaska
 The election returns indicate your election as Republican Com mitteeman. Alaska. We intend to go to Kansas City and invite you to meet us in Seattle about June 1, and accompany us to Republi- can National convention so all of Alaska's elected representatives may act in unity and friendly CO., operation so far as possible in the interest of our territory. We suggest you see Gottstein and if he can not go secure his proxy if possible and let us make a friendly appearance there for the benefit of Alaska. Please an. swer friendly, for Alaska needs united aetion
 TWILL H. CHASE,
 "'JAMES WICKERSHAM.'
 In reply. Captain Lathrop wired as follows:
 Fairbanks, Alaska,
 May 23, 1928. "'Dr. " II. Chase:
 Received your message on reaching Fairbanks tonight. Will take Aleutian south from Seward 26th, Saturday, and possibly you could be on same boat from Cor. doya and make one Alaska party

FLOOD WATERS RISE IN
 ST. LAWRENCE RIVER
Island Of Montreal Under Water Residents Flee-Many Scared
 By Rats.

Montreal, Que. April Il R- ] Flood conditions in suburbs of Mon
 treal. caused by waters of the St. Lawrence river backing up behind q huge ice jam. had assumed more serious proportions today.
 In four hours last night the waters had risen a foot in Longue Point. most seriously affected of the sub urbs, and the executive committee of Montreal appealed to the Dominion government for aid in breaking the Ice Jam. Rats, forced out of their holes by the flood waters, continued to frighten residents.
 Boucher,illc, across the river from the Island of Montreal, was largely under water with many fam- lilies forced out of their homes. One family, forced to the upper floor of their home by flood waters, had a rowboat tied to the stairway which they rowed to the front door when supplies were brought to them.
 Conditions in other parts of the province which had suffered from Inc week end floods were being re- stored rapidly to normal. Cold weather has settled down, halting the melting of ice and snow which had caused the floods.

In handing down this dacision

In handing down this decision, Judge Knox declared that Barnett ilad been solicited and i'm portuned for donations, kidnapped and married by an adventures and harassed and annoyed by his attorneys.
 Judge Knox also held both the gift to the university and 10 Mrs. Barnett void and stressed the old tribesman's alleged incom potency. After pointing out that Barnett had been allowed to shift for himself un- til nearly 70 years of age, the court said sudden wealth had left the de- fehdant shuttle cock in a game of battledore in which the stakes were high"
 Throughout his contact with the courts, Barnett showed little interest i'll the proceedings. He often express cd a desire 10 retire to q quiet place and a home was purchase for him in California. While his western home was built along elaborate lines, he was allowed to have a string of COW ponies and even some pigs"
 The Topeka complaint was filed for entry in the third division of the federal district court at Fort Scott. Kansas.

SUBMARINE LIFTED
 WITH NEW DEVICE
Swedish Invention Proves to
 Be Useful

Stockholm. April il (UP)-A new and successful device for finding and lifting sunken submarines has just been invented by two Swedes, A. Hasselberg, q lieutenant III the Engineering Corps, and K. Oester- berg, q civil engineer.
 The contrivance has been tested thoroughly by the Swedish navy and is now being manufactured by Nyd- qusit X Holm iii Trollhaettan, well known Swedish locom otive builders.
 The invention consists of buo,s which can be released from the in. side. These rise to the surface when the submarine sinks to the bottom. The buoys are fitted with thin wires to which are attached coupling de vices. Lifting chains are fastened to the wires and let down to the sunk on boat, where the couplings auto- matically lock the chains to the hull and the lifting can begin.
 The invention, which is covered by patents, has aroused the interest of foreign nations. and it is possible that 8 number of these salyaging appliances will be delivered to the French navy.

U. S.LEASES PALMAS
 ISLAND 10 HOLLAND
Arbiter's Award Gives This Property to Other Country

Washington, D. C.. April II - The United States loses her claim to Palmas Island as q result Of an ar blter's decision giving it 10 Holland.
 "Palmas IS a tiny island on the fringe of the Philippine archipel~ ago, says bulletin from the Wash ington, D. '. headquarters ot the National Geogra phic society. "It seems that when the United States threw her net of sovereignty over the Philippine Islands she found herself with slN Or seven thousand islands. big. small and tiny. Hundreds of the smaller ones have not boe1. mapped or named to this stay
 smaller Than Central Parl.
 Among the isluts the United States neglected was Palnas. And tEls was natural hecatse it lies tS miles off the nearest point Of Min danao and is farthtst southeast of all the islands in the Philippine group.
 "A captain must almost run his boat ashore on Palfnas before he sees it. The island is about one half the size of Central park in New York city. The 45S inhabitants found there when an American landing party came ashore supported them selves on the tropical products from about the same number of acres.
 TWenty-two years ago Leonard Wood, while on an inspection tour, SfOnnad 1 lc1,uSilo lpe1 J,,, his astonishment when a native boat put out from shore bravely flying a Dutch flag. The head man explained that . Dutch ship called once a year to leave supplies and take off copra. ! Tho captain had left him flag with | instructions to fly 1t.
 The United States then asked 1 Spain if she had meant to give Palm 1 as along with the other Philippines. l Spain replied affirmatively. The United States questioned Holland. ! whose diplomatic office replied that . tho natives of Palmas owed ale glance to the tribes in the Nether- lands East Indies.
 Trees Will Feed a Family
 A6lSSIutIil "dS reached 10 1rDl- | trate the question. The. arbitcr, 8 Swiss, has handed down a decision giving Palmas to Holland Fortu- nately it is not an irritating boun- dary dispute. Bestowal of Palmas r makes little difference to the United states. to Holland or to Palmasites. Threa coconut trees will support family and that is about all a na- tive of Palmas needs to know to get along in his little world.
 The delightful climate invites man to a maximum of leisure The old volcano that built Palmas kind ly left legacy of rich soil. Think Of Central park supporting G40 peo- { pie per square mile! Coconuts re- lulre no cultivation and they grow just as well by the lagoon as on the l heights of Palmas which attain the i elevation of 375 feet" h

such a flood of ticker tape, con-

the streets white carpeted.
After the speech thousands OF
people massed about the Congress
