In speaking of his experience Capt. Ehler said, We were just drifting around on the Gulf and it was rather uncomfortable. You can't imagine how tickled we were when we saw that the Unalga had sighted us and was heading toward us.
 We had broken cam-shaft and there was nothing we could do to better our plight,-it was too rough to do any necessary repairing on the engine. The Unalga lowed us to a safe anchorage in Mud Bay and while we were waiting for a hali- but boat to come our way, or for the return of the cutter, we were able to rig up hand pump. We took shifts of ten minutes on and 40 minutes off, and we finally made Juneau. Using this temporary means of keeping the engine going we were able to make about miles an hour"

SCHOONER CHELSEA LlMPS INTO PORT

The fishing schooner Chelsea,
 Capt. George Ehler, which was
 picked up 40 miles southwest of
 Cape Spencer by the cutter Unalga Capt. Edward s. Addison, and lowed to a safe anchorage in Mud Bay,
 limped into port yesterday at noon. The Chelsea broke her cam-shaft
 about 10 o'clock Friday morning, November 15. The seas were run
 ming so high and the weather was
 so rough that it was impossible to make repairs Bundles of waste dipped in kerosene were used as signal flares and were lighted at stated intervals, and the usual dis tress signal of three shots fired at regular intervals, was also used. The Unalga sighted the Chelsea at 5 o'clock that afternoon and took her in tow. Upon receiving the sos sent out by the freighter Depere, the Unalga anchored her tow in Mud Bay, near the usual route talk ep by halibut boats and then pro- ceeded to the assistance of the De- pere

WOLF OF WALL STREET"
 SHOWING AT COLISEUM

With a laugh and a sheer for trouble and a curse for a weakling, George Bancroft drives his way powerfully and effectively in his new starring Paramount picture, The Wolf of Wall Street." which opened at the Coliseum last night.
 The bars of Wall Street, "the most fascinating street in the world" are thrown down in this picture. Here we see the inner workings, the operation, the stocl. broker at his best-or worst. Para mount, ever alert to capture on celluloid that which interests the man on the street today, has pro- duced one of the finest pictures of the current cinematic season.
 With two-fisted virility, Bancroft portrays the wolf" of Wall Street.

SHOW GIRL NEXT
 FEATURE AT PALACE


 Show Girl,' the novel of New York cabaret and back stage life by J. P. McEvoy, which First Ma tional Pictures, Inc, selected as the first vehicle for its series of
 Alice White pictures, became the sensational success of the year in the book world immediately upon its publication by Simon & Schus- ter. Four big editions were printed within a week of it's issuance.

 Bancroft is not without stellar support in his new picture. There are Baclanova, Nancy Carroll, Paul Lukas and Arthur Rankin to share honors with him. Others in the cast are Brandon Hurst, Craufurd Kent and Paul Guertzrnan. It's all talkie.

UTILITIES SURVEY
| MEETS OBSTACLES
Failure of Companies to- Fur
nish Information and Lack
of Funds Factors.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Trade Commission con-
siders that its survey Of the financial
organization of public utility power
companies is being impeded by the
failure OF some corporations % furnish
it with important information, partic-
ularly data on mergers.
This factor and shortage Of funds,
the commission said in its current quar-
terly report to Congress, is proving a
serious obstacle in its effort to carry out
the task given over to 1t by the Ma
tional Legislature.
The commission is particularly anx-
ious that the queStionnaireS which IL
sent to power holding corporations be
returned promptly and asserted In Its
report that large concerns OF this ma
ture had failed to submit these reports
although in many instances they had
actually been prepared by subsidiary
companies.
The task Of tracing the growth Of
capital assets has grown "laborious,"
the report, which was submitted to
Congress late yesterday, said, because
of the numerous complicated mergers
and consultations effected through the
use of Intermediates and syndicateS,
bDSCb11CI Will AdCh Vi
and the completely of holding COM
pany accounting methods and the emf
ployment Of numerous subsidiary COM
panies."
Describing the work Of the last three
months, the report went on to say that o
study of the method of issuing certifl.
Gates was in progress, together with o
survey of fees and bonuses paid and Of
the banking departments organized by
q number of holding companies to
handle the securities Of "Subholding
and operating companies"
In connection with an effort TO as.
senble information as to the public
value of holding corporations, the COM
mission revealed that 1t was making an
inquiry into properties, rate policies and
operating costs as they might be af-
fected by the holding companies and
also into the services they render and
the economies they effect
With its statement that funds are
running low the commission said that
to expedite its inquiry a larger staff of
accountants viii be necessary and that
under present appropriations it's force
of workers cannot be increased.

DOCKET SET
FOR MONDAY
Expect County Cases To
Sift Down to Three
Actual Trials

A criminal docket of 20 cases is
expected to be simmered down to
three in Cameron county court-at-
law Monday, and the entire docket
Is expected to be disposed of in one
day, Assistant County Attorney
Bascom Cox announced Saturday.
Nine cases probably will be dis
missed, four because no arrests have
been made and because they have
been pending for some time, four
more because of insufficient evil
dence to convict, and one more,
which is on appeal, because OF a
faulty complaint in justice of the
peace court.
Five cases likely will be continued
by agreement and two for lack Of
arrests.
Another case, an appeal. has al
ready been withdrawn and the de-
fendant paid his fine in the Justice
of the Peace court.
The first case to be tried will be
that of Tomas Solano charged with
aggravated assault. He is alleged
to have beaten his wife.
The next case, against Locadio
Hernandez, charges the defendant
with carrying a pistol. The case
grew out of a shooting Scrape at
18th and Van Buren, streets July 2 in
which Jose Salinas was dealt a
severe scalp wound with the butt of
the gun. Two shots fired failed to
find their mark. Another complaint
filed in Justice of the Peace Gains
court charged Hernandez with as
sault to murder, and he was bound
over to the grand jury and now
faces another trial in district court.
