Tentative plans for the organi- zation of an Alaskan Chamber of Commerce, as they will be discuss ed tomorrow night at o'clock at the meeting in City Hall of repre- sentatives from all communities, call for an organization similar to the United States Chamber of Com merce, it was made known today

The Alaskan Chamber would use the referendum system which is used by the U. s. Chamber of Commerce, and also that of the State of Washington, it is said. That is, any community could pro- pose a plan or cause which it wished taken up and backed by the Territorial organization. It would be referred to the other members, and if a specified majority ap- proved the measure, it would re- ceive the endorsement of the larg- CT Chamber and be taken up, by , it. with the U. s. Chamber of of Commerce.
 A number of Legisiators have re- Iceiyed wires from their home Chambers asking them to repre- sent their respective towns at the meeting. The known representa- lives will be: Alfred Lomen, Nome; L. c. Hess, Fairbanks; E. R. Tar water. Anchorage; Frank H. Foster
 Seward; J. H. Murray, Cordova; A Dimond, Valdez; Charles Ben- ianain. Wrangell; Mayor Hanlon
 Sitka: w. A. Bates, Ketchikan, and
 a representative, not known, from Petersburg.

 of M. s. Whittier, chairman; V. A
 Paine. Allen Shattuck, W. s. Pull { len and H. I. Lucas.

RICE RETURNS FROM VACATION
 AND BUSINESS
Senior M e m b CT of Local Plumbing Concern
 Places Large Orders

George B. Rice, senior member of the piumbing firm of Rice & Ahlers, has returned home after a combined business and pleasure trip to the south of about three weeks duration. MT. Rice called at Prince Rupert and Vancouver en- route to Seattle. In the south a carload of plumbing fixtures and supplies were purchased and other business transacted after which | the time was devoted to vacation and visiting friends. A feature of tthe vacation was the trip by air (to Portland and return to Seattle Today, when mentioning the air trip, Mir. Rice said that it surely was the finest way to travel. From the hotel in Seattle, MT. Rice with Frank Metcalf, were taken to the field by a car of the West Coast Air Transport. A few minutes after reaching the field they were in the air and Portland bound at over 100 miles an hour. The trip, which by train takes over six hours, was completed in one hour and three minutes. Going to Portland, MT. Rice said the plane flew at a height of 1000 feet. He added that that one had a great sense of se- curity and was perfectly comfort able. From the time the passen- gers are called for at their hotel until they are delivered by the car to their hotel at their destination they are treated with every cour- tesy.
 Not Expensive
 Air travel in the States, MT Rice said, costs no more than what one would pay if travelling by train o. bus in comfort with the convent ence of sleeper. In a conversa- ton with the Seattle manager oi the West Coast Air Transport, MT Rice gathered that the flying com panies are hampered by the in ability to obtain equipment to fill their needs. Passengers are plen- tiful but we cannot accommodate them without planes" the manager is quoted as saying.
 Before returning to Seattle, MT Rice went to The Dalles, Oregon where he spent several days witt his mother, whom he had not seer for some time.
 Today MT. Rice mentioned espec. ially the courteous manner in whicf he was treated when buying hi. ticket for the return air trip tC Seattle. He stated that he wa, treated no different than anyon, else travelling by the line, but ac, commodation seemed to be the ob ject of all.
 Still retaining the Seattle to Port land ticket stub he called for tn, return and on showing the stul was given round trip ticket rates MT. Rice returned to Seattle with out the company of Frank Met lcalf, who remained in Portland oi business.

order the Public Utilities Commission
to bring into court the entire record
of the rate case, together with all ex-
hibits and such other matters as may
have come to the judicial notice OF the
commission in deciding the case. Each
petition further asks that the court give
to the car fare case precedence over
all other civil causes pending in court
as provided by the public utilities act
and asks for speedy final decision of
the case.
The Capital Traction petition begins
with a somewhat detailed history OF its
corporate existence up to and includ-
ing the refusal by the Public Utilities
Commission November Is last to grant
its petition for an increase In fares
The company sets out that during the
year 1928 its return on its fair value
was but 3.92 per cent and during the IL
months ended April 30, 1929, but $40
per cent. The petition then states that
the proposed increased fare would only
yield a return of 4.83 per cent which
would be only partial relief from the
confiscation Of its property of which 1t
nov complains"
The appeal to the court is made be-
cause Of the company's dissatisfaction
with the commissions order which is
set out as contrary to law. to the un-
contradicted evidence submitted in said
cause"
The order. the petition says. deprives
the company of a lawful return upon
the fair value of its property devoted
to public use without due process of
law as provided by the Constitution.
Findings Against Evidence"
The company alleges that the COM
mission made its findings contrary to
the weight Of the evidence produced
and partly on irrelevant, immaterial
and speculative matters of evidence
admitted by the commission over the
objection of the companies.
AS to the part that the proposed
merger played in the hearings, the
company says this inquiry was unlawful
and further that there was no evidence
before the commission tending to show
that any substantial economies could
be effected through joint operation of
tracks or other street railway facilities
without corporate merger of the COM
panies or other formof joint operation
not now permitted by law.
The petition Of the Washington Rail-
way e. Electric Co. also starts with a
lengthy corporate history, which plans
a return on fair value of Alb per cent
during 1927 and 4.32 per cent during
1923 and All per cent during the IL
months ended April 80, 1929. These
rates, the company says, are totally
inadequate, unreasonable and consfica-
tory"
Speaking of the order of November
IS, in which the commission denied the
increase in fare. the company says that
the effect of said order is that while
the commission finds that the present
rate Of fare is inadequate. the commits
sion. because 1t cannot fix exactly the
full value of the property. will not
afford any relief to all the petitioning
companies. though 1t fails to find that
the relief prayed for would afford an
excessive return"

FIAT SPIN SOLVED
BY Merry FLYER
Takes Ia WhirlS, Then
Leaves Falling Ship 500
Feet From Ground.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Greg, December 9.-The
mystery of what causes the dreaded
fiat spin" of an airplane is believed to
have been solved by o. @. Barnum.
Portland commercial pilot, who coolly
made observations while his falling
plane went through IA spins and then
leaped to safety with a parachute.
Barnum jumped when so close to the
ground that he could not entirely clear
the hurting plane, and his parachute
was ripped open by wing. He esti-
mated that the chute opened at about
800 feet.
Barnum deliberately put the plane
into tailspin in accordance with the
regular procedure in giving tests. This
was at a height of 1900 feet. The
pilot said the plane, with bag OF SAND
IN the front cockpit instead OF a CO.
pilot, was too evenly balanced, and IN
stead of spinning with the nose pointed
straight down, 1t slipped into fiat spin.
Barnum stuck with the ship until the
altimeter read 1000 feet, during which
time the plane made IA spins. He said
he scooted forward in his seat in an
effort to force the nose down and then
climbed out. He went over the side at
500 feet.

pirates and the officers and Indian
guards finally forced them to retire.
Another attempt was made to storm
