EQUITY DISCIPL|NES
 FIVE SCREEN STARS
Two Others Reinstated- Talkie Contracts Be-
 lieved Cause

Hollywood, Cal, July Il P)@ Suspension of five actors from the Actors Equity Association and the reinsta tement of two others was an- nounced by Frank Gilmore, presi- dent, early today. While no state ment was made as to the cause of the suspensions, it was understood they resulted from making contracts with talking motion picture produc- CTS without sanction of the organiza- ton.
 Those suspended were Fully Mar shall, Anders Randolph, Raymond Hatton, Louise Dresser and Henry Otto.
 Believed Initial Move
 The action, taken at a meeting of the association here last night was interpreted to be the first move of Equity in it's demand that producers here accept only contracts from paid-up members of Equity. The leading members of the industry here made a flat refusal of the de- mand. insisting that open shop woulG continue.
 Rumors, the course of which could not be located. were current ycster- day that the Equity association plan ned a preliminary strike by setting today as the last in which it's mem bers may appear as extras with non- members in talking picture produc- ton work. Producers maintained that the proposed walkout would not include number sufficient to cause embarrassment.
 No Comment on Strike
 Equity officials refused to com ment on the strike reports.
 Several prominent actors and ac tresses. members of Equity, have protested against the associations policy regarding the talkies. pe- tition recently signed by some of the outstanding members of the movie colony, and members of Equity ask ed a hearing before the president which was refused
 Gloria Grey and Jules Cowles were those reinstated. Reinstatement was voted when contracts previously questioned were found to conform to Equity requirements.

Admiralty Says Submarine Would Be Worthless Even if Raised Casualty List Revised to 20 as Man is Found.

London, July II R>-The admir- alty has decided to abandon all fur ther operations for salvaging the sunken submarine H-41.
 The announcement of this was supplemented by the statement that this decision had been reached after full consideration of the location of the lost warcraft and the difficulties in attempts to salvage it.
 Sure All Men Dead
 The admiralty statement says the facts which guided in reaching this decision were the certainty that all the missing men perished almost inn mediately after the vessel sank, and that the great depth of water, risk from tides and weather would ren- der salvage-even if an ultimate possibility-a task involving the divers and others in great and con- tinual danger.
 Even if the HAY were salvaged, the statement adds. the damage through pressure and flooding would render her unfit for service, and salvage operations of such difficulty would not be justified.

 DIES AT NAPLES

1 J. c. Tolman, pioneer of Alaska and resident of the Territory for many years, died April 26 at Naples, Italy. He had gone to Europe with his son. Chester A. Tolman, and was making an automobile trip over the continent. They had covered France, a part of Germany and Italy when he was seized with a heart attack at Naples. The end came quickly.
 Another son, Crit c. Tolman, resides in Seattle, and it was in a telegram to him from his brother, that news of the death was re- ceived.
 J. c. Tolman came to Alaska in 1889 as a Deputy Collector of Gus toms at Kodiak Later he was transferred to Wrangell. He had quit the service and left for Circle City when he fell in with the Klon- dike stampede at Dawson. He re- mained there a few years without success and went to Nome. His success there was also indifferent. He returned to Oregon and in 1905 was appointed Deputy Marshal at Nome. He was one of the early settlers at Seward and there be- came game warden.

s AL ' A I 10 N ARMY TO MAKE
 ANNUAL DRIVE
Self Denial Week Begins Monday-C Capt. Acton
 Coming to Help

Capt. E. K. Tobin, in charge of the Salvation Army work at Ju- neau. announces that the annual Self Denial Week will be observed in Juneau next week, beginning Monday. Capt. Tobin and the local staff will be aided in the work by Staff Capt. J. Acton, of Wran- gell. in charge of Salvation Army work in Alaska. Capt. Acton is ex- pected to arrive in Juneau on the Admiral Rogers.
 Capt. Tobin says it is the pur- pose to raise about the same amount of money here as was rais- cd last year-S800. The money will be expended in this vicinity in the main. but partly for work through out the Territory.
 The Salvation Army has 29 diff ferent Indian corps in Alaska. It is carrying on extensive work among the Indians as well as great deal among all classes and nationalities which, because of the very nature of the work, is not given publicity.
 The following pertinent ques- lions about the Salvation Army" and the answers are published at tbe request of Capt Tobin for the information of those who may sub scribe:
 Most people like to be correctly informed with regard to any organ ization or institution to which they may subscribe, and in view of the approaching annual Self-Denal appeal to be made by the Salvation Army a few pertinent questions and their answers may not be amiss.
 Does the Army publish balance Sheet? is a question often asked by business people. Yes, it does and has done so every year of it's being. A copy may be obtained without charge from Headquarters or the nearest Corps Officer.
 What commission does the col loctor get? None whatever. The ef- fort is labor of love and the en- tire amount of the money raised goes toward it's object. Only a small percentage is returned to the Corps.
 How much salary are Army of ficers paid? They are lower than those paid to the officials of any other society in relation to the re- responsibilities which they must car " and the hours they must toll
 Does the Army turn any away? Yes! The habitual spongersl The organization considers seriously its obligations and being stewards of public funds, endeavors to spend the money in the wisest way to help the folks who need help most.
 ''Is the Army's appeal to church members as well as to others? Yes ito all. It should be remembered

 Do Army Bandsmen receive re- muneration of any kind? No; these give their time and labor volun- tarily and are rewarded only by the pleasure that comes through bring ing cheer and blessing into the lives of others.
