British Objections on New Proposals Casting
 Shadow on Problem

PARIS, May 10.-An undeniable disturbing atmosphere is growing with official British condemnation reported on the proposals of the Young compromise on Germ n reparations.
 This hung over the deliberations of the separations experts today. It is not believed here that Foreign Secretary Churchill,s declaration in the House of Commons yester- day added anything to protests al- ready voiced by the British delega- tion but it did emphasize the seri- ousness of National differences existing.
 The general view is that the re- suit of the Churchill statement de- claring a revision of the Spa Rep arations agreement will not be ac- ceptable to the British Government will result only in partial agree ment between nations involved in the discussion.
 The British Government objects to the percentages allotted to the various nations.

Miss Jeanne Robbins, nurse at St. Ann's Hospital, was notified to- day that she participated with five others in the third prize of the Dawson Ice Pool. The approxi- mate amount won by Miss Robbins is $160, the wire sent to Dave Housel, local representative of the Ice Pool, stated. The ticket which won the prize for her was number 6280 and the time was May T, 2:30 pm, three minutes ahead of the official time of the ice moving, 233 pm, May '.
 While Miss Robbins has had tick cts in Ice Pools before, this is the first time she has been a winner and though the amount she will re- ceive is far smaller than those often won, she said she was delighted, and surprised. In fact, she was not convinced that there was third prize, or that she had won any thing, until the Dawson wire was shown her.

NO REFERENDUM ON REPEAL 0F
 BONE DRY LAW
P arks Kills Referendum Measure by Pocket Veto.
 Fearing Wet Fight

Because Gov. George A. Parks did not approve and failed to sign the Murray bill relating to express sicn of the popular will on the re- peal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law. the voters of the Territory will not register their desires in the matter in the next general election on the first Tuesday in November, 1880. In other words, the referendum pro- posed at the next general election on repeating the Alaska Bone Dry Law will not be held.
 The bill reached Gov. Parks at the final minute of the session. one of large number, and it was the only one not to be signed by him. This failure of approval killed the measure.
 In explanation Of his pocket veto, Gov. Parks said he though the ef- feet of the measure would have been unfortunate, leading to wet or dry fight Coming at the very time that President Hoover is ap- pointing a commission to study law enforcement problems with a view of making the enforcement of all laws more effective, the Cover nor said he was convinced that wet or dry issue would be raised that would have led to an impress !cn abroad that would have been harmful
 The Murray measure passed the House by a vote of 10 to six, and received a bare majority in the Senate, the vote on final passage being five to three It was among the last measures to be passed and did not reach the Governor until about am. of May 3.

New York Attorney May Be Chairman Law En-
 forcemeni Com.

WASHINGTON, May 10-George w. Wickersham, of New York, who was Attorney General during the Taft Administration, is regarded by President Hoover as the most likely choice for the Chairmanship of the Law Enforcement Commission.
 Wickersham is taking an active part in the fostering of the Execu- tive's ideas, attending the Ameri- can Law Institute meeting which the President took occasion to praise in his New York address be- fore the Associated Press.
 Wlckersham called his colleagues to support Hoover's program. The latter's plan, Wickersham declared, is not concerned with one law or one policy but with the perpetua- ton of civil liberty" which cannot long endure if the law of the land loses a hold on the conscience of fellow citizens"

HOOVER PLANS GIVEN FIRST
 BLOW, SENATE
Debenture Clause Vote h. dicates Lineup Tess
 Makes Attack

WASHINGTt N, May 10. The Hoover legislative program had rough going iT the preliminary stages of development but Admin isration officials assert they are far from being discouraged as to the outlook of the situation.
 Now the Chief Executive must turn to the House for undoing of the Senate action in approving of the export debenture plan in the farm relief bill and must look to the Senate for support of the idea of limited tariff revision. The de- benture clause vote in the Senate was 47 to A.
 Two factors enter, the first, the action of the House a. Senate Tariff Committees follow close ly one another and o1 sccond furnished the barometric indica- tions of the atmosphere around the Capitol
 White House officials expect the House to eliminate the debenture clause in the Senate measure, now ip conference, and even so the plan Is likely to bob up again in the Senate when it takes up the tariff revision measure.
 z Some supporters contend it be- longs in the revenue measure since it deals with transactions of Gus toms Houses.
 Animosities Arise
 Animosities in the Senate Re- publican ranks over the break in Hooyer's farm program flared late yesterday in almost unprecedented < exchanges of Fess, Party whip, sgainst Borah, Nye and Brookhart, whom he. called pseudo Reptsh- 1icans.
 Tn a letter to Marshal Sheepey, of Toledo, Ohio, FeSs expressed grave concern in the break in party lines, saying: Tt means a complete coalition between the Democrats and Insurgents" and consequent arresting of the Administration policies. It is feared that other breaks, more disastrous, might come, FeSS also wrote.
 The s Senators attacked made c2ustic retorts on the Fess letter in which they asserted freedom to vote on any issue as they thought best.
 Defeat of the Administration on the debenture in the Farm Relief bill is the first Hoover reversal by either House of Congress.

LOCAL MUSEUM
 ID GET S5,0OO
Request of New York e r Made to Alaska Museum
 Will Be Turned Over

A legacy of $5,000 from a New York benefactor, unknown here and whose very name is unfamiliar is the good fortune of the Alaska Museum. And how and why the bequest was made is a mystery too.
 The facts in the matter are few and are these. Gov George A Parks has been advised by Wilson M. Powell, New York City attorney that one William P Rauch had died leaving a provision in his will for bequest of $5,00O for the Alaska Museum. Administrators of the estate are closing it up and are ready tA pay over the money 'ft wss asked that receipts, sent to the Governor, be signed and re- turned, following which the money will be forwarded here.
 Rauch, said the Governor, is un- derstood to have made a trip to Alaska several years ago. That he visited Juneau and the Museum is certain, but there is no one here who remembers him. Following that visit he included the Museum in his will. Upon his death two or three years ago, the Territory was notified of the provision but as nothing had been heard for sometime, the matter was thought tl have been closed.

Methods Are Changed

United States attorneys offices have in the past used blanks charg- ing sale just as a misdemeanor. They can no longer do that. If the evidence is inconseqdential in char acter so that proof or more than illegal possession is doubtful, it is nanifestly unfair to a defendant to attempt to prove a felony.
 "Evaluating evidence before trial has been always a prosecutors duty, but it becomes a greater import ance since the Jones amendment to the Volstead Act shows that Congress intends those offenses which violate the Constitution itself to be felonies and leaves other Vol stead violations as misdemeanors. /"
