HOPE PROMISED SLASHING OF TAXES WILL PREVENT BUSI-
 NESS DEPRESSION

NEW YORK, Nov, 19, While the stock market continued to stagger under continuous waves of selling, both the stock exchange and the United States government acted to put a check to the unpre- cedented wave of liquidation
 Following a conference of Presi- dent Hoover, Secretary Mellon, and F d eral Reserve Commissioner Young, the administration issued a statement in which it virtually promised with the tentative ap- iproval of democratic and republi- can congressional leaders reduc- tion of one percent in corporation Iand private income taxes.
 The promised slashing of taxes, lit is hoped, will prevent a business depression from following the stock crash, and at the same time help stabilize prices.

E:|ELSON' PLANE

DOGTEAM, DRIVEN BY NATIVES BROUGHT NEWS WRECK
 TO VESSEL

NOME, Nov, 19, (P)-Word of the Wrecking of the au-metal cabin plane of the Alaska Air ways, Inc, piloted by Col. Carl Ben Eielson, who was ice-bound on the Siberian coast for eight days, has been received by the Swenson Fur Trading vessel, the Nanuk, whose valuable cargo of furs and passengers EielSon has been flying from North Cape, Si- beria, to Nome.
 Only meager details of the wrecking of the plane was re- ceived but it is believed that a dogteam, driven by natives and travelling along the coast, brought the news to the ship as the ra- dio operator on board the ship reported that Olaf Swenson, head of the company, who is aboard the ship, is sending dogteam from the vessel to the scene.
 Not a word of the fate of Eiel- son, nor his mechanician, Bor- land, was recieved.
 Pilot Frank Dorbandt, with another cabin plane, broke an axle in an attempt to take-off from Teller with a heavy load ,of gasoline to fly on the rescue mission. Repairs are being made to his plane while the arrival of another Alaska Airways plane lis being awaited.
 A blizzard is raging at Teller and Nome and conditions are regarded as serious.

A WHITE ESKIMO

AghVook, a member of the Els kimo tribe on St. Lawrence Is land, arrived in Seward on the M. s. Boxer. No more will Ag- vook eat seal skins full of Eski- mo ice cream or whale meat two years old, even though both are delicious to his way of thinking For with Aghvook'S arrival in the city he cast aside his guise and garb of an Eskimo to reappear as when he left here years ago; as Otto w Geist, collector for the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines.
 And such strange tales of the customs and conditions of that kindly tribe he brings back.
 Sponsored by President Chas. F. BunnelI of the Alaska College, MT. Geist has concluded four years of work along archaeological, eth n0logical and geological lines for the College and has collected between 25,000 and 30,00O speci- mems for the museum most of which date back to prehistoric ages. During the last two years he has harvested approximately five tons and it is doubtful, he states, if the collection is euualled by any museum in the world. To Alaskans, to whom the work has been dedicated, the collection is invaluable Dr. Bunnell gave the money for the expedition and Mr. GeiSt donated his time

 Tn 1926, after he had been out in the field collecting specimens for himself MT.

MT. Geist in formed pr. Bunnell if he would defray expenses he, MT. Geist, would donate his services. The 1927 expedition was such sue cess that pr. Bunne1l commission ed MT.

PRECEDENTs FAVOR CURTIS.
Other Officials' Hostesses Have Filled
Places without Questioning.
BY sALLIE v. n. PICKETT.

The State Departments webbing
line of precedence as 1t concerns the
executive household has received an
other Jolt in the Vice Presidents appeal
to the State Department to reverse its
decision in reference to the rank ac-
corded his official hostess, his sister,
Mrs. Edward Everett Gam.
The line of precedent for official Of
fices is pretty we'll established by Con-
gress, when in 1895 Congress passed an
act establishing the line of succession
from the President and Vice President
down through the entire cabinet, Civ
ing the whole executive body rank above
ambassadors. This ruling usually is
waived below the rank Of Secretary Of
State, and ambassadors are shown the
courtesy Of ranking above the Sccre-
tAry of the Treasury and other cabinet
members.
However, the whole question arises
not as TO the Vice President but his
hostess, and there Is precedent for his
request from the time Of Thomas JEFF
ferson on down to recent years, and
even today. Dolly Madison, az the wife
Of the Secretary of state, often was
ofacial hostess for President Jefferson
and no question. was asked as to her
placement at table. Grover Cleveland
chose his sister, Miss Rose Elizabeth
Cleveland, as his hostess, and. like the
sister Of President Arthur, who served
ah similar capacity. no questions were
asked.
Miss Flora wilson was oficial hostess
for her father, the late James Wilson,
when Secretary Of Agriculture and was
&ccorded the same position her father
occupied. Miss Agnes Hart Wilson
assumed the place of ofncial hostess for
her father when Secretary of Labor and
though her mother then was alive, she
stood In her mothers place ut the
White House and elsewhere and nc
questions were asked.
j It Is not at all unusual for foreign
ministers to bring to washington sis.
tiers, or even sisters in-laW, and estab.
lish them as ofiicial hostesses, and still
no questions are asked as to their ON.
cial rank. The daughter of the Min
lister Of Rumsnia, who serves Is hostess
of his house, ranks with him on al
occasions.
& There seems no question but that thu
vice President is within his right ir
iexacting for his oficial hostess thu
status Of his own rank.
Il Though there Is o twinkle IN the Vict
Presidents eye, when the question y
mentioned to him, IL Is quite clear thai
he Is battling for the position and ths
rielat of the Vice President.
