NEWS FROM ALL OVER
 THE WORLD

fWASH1NGToN-Contrary to the widespread impression, President Hoover's efforts to enforce the pro- hibition law will not consist of any high-powered Dry drives or any dramatics of any kind, but will be solely a persistent effort to build up, permanently, the law enforcement machinery of the nation to combat crime in general, it was author itatively learned.
 The Presidents object is to reduce crime of all kinds in the United States, and In that effort he expects the support of the press and of all respectable citizens. He is building for the future, however, and trying to make whatever progress that occurs during his administration as nearly permanent as possible. For that reason, and because he does not consider that dramatic moves to en- force law and win the applause of the drys are of permanent value, his pol icy will be to strengthen, in every possible way, the law enforcement machinery, to deal with criminals of every kind; not only today and to- morrow, but next week, next year and for years to come. Fireworks will be taboo.
 While this information was forth coming from a source close to the White House, federal judge in New York City was meting out prison sentence of three months to the first offender found guilty under the new Jones law, a bartender. In passing sentence the judge announced that hereafter the minimum penalty for prohibition law violators will be six months in jail.

GENEVA E1ihu Roots princi- pal task, as far as Geneva is con- cerned, has been successfully com pleted. A committee of jurists ap- pointed by the League Council to reach an understanding with the United States on its adherence to the World Court. unanimously ac- cepted the new draft of the proto- col that embodies practically the en- tire project that Root brought from Washington. It conforms to all his desires.
 All eyes are now turned, and not without some anxiety, toward Wash ington, where the consent of the Senate must be had. The Hoover administration is known to approve of the protocol however, and it is be- lieved that Roots conversations with Senate leaders will make the acceptance an easy matter. Changes affected in Roots original plan for entrance of the United States into the World Court were minor in na- ture and are believed to favor the cause of America.

Wrangell Packing Corporation Is
 New Company
Formed by W. T. Hale, G. s. Chapin and
 F. s. Barnes

Wrangell Packing Corporation is the name of a new company that has been formed by W. T. Hale of Kla- wack, c. s. Chapin of Karheen, and Frank S. Barnes of Wrangell. The corporation is capitalized at S10O. 1000.
 Rumors to the effect that the three men mentioned were forming a new company reached Wrangell the latter part of last week. Frank S. Barnes arrived from Seattle yes new corporation is capitalized at He said:
 "Yes, it Is true that Mir Hale,
 MT. Chapin and myself have
 formed company for the purpose
 of engaging in the salmon pack
 ing industry at Wrangell.
 We will start out in modest
 way and operate in a conservative
 manner. At the start we will
 build fast one line cannery us-
 ing the most modern equipment
 that 1t is possible to buy. We ex-
 pect to secure practically all the
 labor right here in Wrangell. The
 outlook for a satisfactory pack Is
 very good. We will have the out
 put of four tried traps, and will
 operate six seines out of Wran-
 gell. We shall also make a bid
 for the Stikine river fish. can
 not say just when we will begin
 construction as we have not yet
 definitely decided on a site. It
 Is our intention that our cannery
 shall be in the fullest sense a part
 of the industrial life of this com- munity."
 The three men who have formed this new corporation are all expe- rienced cannerymen and genuine Alaskans who have spent many years in the North. For some years MT. Barnes was in charge of the cannery of the F. c. Barnes Con- pany at Lake Bay.
 MT. Chapin has operated at Kar- heen for a number of years. He re- gently sold out to Libby, McNeil Sr Libby. Under the terms of the sal Mir. Chapin will operate the ka heen cannery this season for tn, new owners.
 w. T. Hale is one of the best known cannerymen in the north. For many years he has been in charge of the oldest cannery in AL aska-that of the North Pacific Trading & Packing Company at kla- wack. This cannery was also re- gently sold to Libby, McNeil x Libby. MT. Hale will operate the Klawack cannery for its new own CTS this year.
 The character of the three men above mentioned is sufficient to in- sure successful operation and per- manency.
