new YORK TEAM NEAR
HOCKEY LEAGUE LEAD

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 31.-The lead
ership of the National Hockey League
seems to become more uncertain as the
season progresses. Les Canadiens of
Montreal, who won the top rung in
the International group. taking two
strenuous games on successive nights,
get a we'll earned rest tonight, but that
rest may cost them first place.
While the flying Frenchmen are idle
the New York Americans, who dropped
into second place by 1-point mar
gin, clash with the Rangers in the last
of their intracity battles. A victory
would put them ahead again and would
give them their first championship Of
the city. Unless President Frank Calder
needs the American request to suspend
judgment on Capt. Bill Cook Of the
Rangers, who is due for suspension
as the result Of his third major penalty
of the season. the prospects look par
ticularly bright for the Rangers. In
three games the Star-Spangled crew
has gained victory and two ties even
when the Rangers star wingman was
on the job. -
Another threat to the leadership lies
In the meeting between Boston and To
ronto. AS the result of their long win-
ing srteak. extending to IL games with
out a defeat, the Bruins are only %
points behind the Rangers in the Amer
lean group standing. 4

THEILE WANTS CONFERENCE ON
 OFFICE STATUS
Appropriations for Secre- tary's Office Expire
 Status Uncertain

Owing to the fact that all ex- isting Territorial appropriations for the office of Secretary of Alaska expired at the close of business on March 31, a conference has been suggested by Secretary Karl Theile between himself and a joint com mittee representing the Senate and House of the Legislature. A com munication making this suggestion was received by the Legislature to- day.
 Secretary Theile called attention to the expiration of the appropria- tions, which embrace office rent clerk hire and incidentals, and said he would be glad to confer with the joint legislative committee relative to it's plans for either continuing or discontinuing the functions of his office. Speaker Rothenburg appointed Representatives Shat tuck, Tarwater and Lomen to rep resent the House on the commit tee.
 Almost from the first day of the present session the Legislature has been considering the status of the Seeretary's office. All suggestions made in various measures have looked forward to a discontinuance of it's territorial functions in the immediate future. Generally it has been felt that they would be taken over by an auditor. This was pro- vided for in a measure introduced in the House by Representative Donnelley on which no action has been taken.
 A similar provision was made in the Steel Controller Bill which has passed the Senate and is now be- fore the House Committee on Ter ritorial institutions. A report is ex- pected on it tomorrow with some striking amendments recommended. But it is generally believed it will take some time to work out, either in this measure or some other, plan by which the Territorial func- tions of the Secreatary's office can be carried on under new system. In the meantime, there is no money available for clerk hire, of- flee rent and otoher expenses nec- essary in the conduct of MT. Theire's office as it relates to Ter ritorial work.

The following four games the Juneau Bills maintained lead over Ketchikan by from 100 to over 200 points.
