arkana Welcome; In
Laredo Saturday

SAN ANTONIO, July 20.-CR,-San
Antonio prepared today to pay a
magnificent but inarticulate tribute
to the body of Captain Emilio Car
rama, Mexican flier, killed a week
ago in an airplane crash. No speech
eS to mar the dignity Of the occasion
and no religious services were on the
program. Only the droning of air
plane motors, the crash Of artillery
in the eleven gun salute accorded
brfgadier generals, the tramp Of
marching men and the reverberations
Of the funeral volleys. which will be
fired over the departing train, will
break the quiet Of the ceremony.
San Antonio's gesture Of sympathy
and friendship will start at New
Braunfels, where an escort of 100
fighting airplanes will meet and es-
cort the funeral train to the city,
strewing flowers over it as it ap-
proaches the depot.
From the train the body will be
taken to the municipal auditorium
with the Second division acting as a
guard Of honor. Only few moments
will be occupied with the auditorium
ceremonies. Military and civic lead
ers will silently place wreaths on the
casket. which will not be opened, and
the march back to the train will be-
gin.
Some place between San Antonio
and Laredo the train will be side
tracked for the night SO ceremonies
at the international bridge can be
held sometime after s o'clock tomor-
row morning.

William L. Paul, member Of the
Legislature, has just returned from

An audience with President Cool
idge was arranged by Senator Chas
Curtis, Republican leader of the
Senate. The President was very
much interested in Alaska and ask
ed a number of questions, and told
Mr., Paul that he would do all that
he could to help the Territory.
In reply to a question, Mr. Paul
told the President that the resident
seine and gill net fishermen should
have ten days more fishing after
the traps were closed down, and
that this was only fair because the
fishing season was closed down just
as soon as the salmon get passed
the traps and before the seiners
really had a chance at them.
The President showed great in
terest and had his secretary write
down the request.
The Associated Press reporters
represented that Mr.. Paul had ask
ed that only native fishermen be
allowed this extra ten days. Mr.
Paul said today that this is not
true, but that he asked that all
fishermen be given this privilege.
While in Seattle, number Of
cannerymen said that they would
support the request made by Nh
Paul. They seemed anxious to SUP
port any regulation which would
give the residents of Alaska d
chance to make decent living.
