In 1926, after he had been out in the field collecting specimens for himself Mir Geist approached Dr. Bunnell on the subject of using his collection as a nucleus of mu- scum specimens for the College, for the people of the Territory. pr. Bunnell enthusiastically agreed it was a most worthy idea but did not see how it could be financed MT. Geist informed Dr. Bunnell if he would defray expenses, he, MT. Geist, would donate his services The 1927 expedition was such a success that Dr. Bunnell commis stoned Mir. Geist for a two-year quest; this has been completed now.
 The collection was gathered at points from the Aleutian Islands to the mouth of the Yukon River and practically every village was visited and in every place pre-his- toric items to modern cultural i'm clements, were obtained; but, as has been stated. the bulk of the specimens came from St. Lawrence Island. While the collection, as above stated, was the main point in view MT. Geist also collected a splendid variety of geological spec imens, minerals and ores. for the mines department of the College. as we'll as geological specimens.

he is alive and getting along all
right, half my worries would he
over and Walkers mother would be
overjoyed."
About three months after the

SINCLAIR ENDS
TERN, BEGINS
ANOTHER

Harry r. Sinclair arose from
his narrow iron bed in a cell
at the District Jail this. morn
ing and yaWned and stretched
as he remembered that he had
finished his first prison term.
Then he donned his white coat,
ate breakfast, and went to the
jail pharmacy where he will
continue to work for his fell
low prisoners until October s.
The sentence fulfilled by Sinclair
this morning was imposed on him
for contempt of the Senate and he
entered the jail on May 6.
Since then he has learned that he
owes another debt to the Govern
ment which he can pay only by
remaining in jail.
May Be Reduced
The District Supreme Court de-
manded that he serve six months
sentence for contempt Of court In
the "jury-shadowing' phase Of the
Fall.Sinclair conspiracy trial.
The oil magnate has been serving
that sentence concurrently since
June % and 1t will expire October
6, IL he is given the usual five
days off month for good
behavior.
No physical examination OF Sin.
clair has been made since he
entered the jail, but his health
seems perfect, officials Of the instl.
tuition said,
Friendly With All
Apparently he has neither gained
or lost weight. He eats and sleeps
well, makes no complaint against
the unceasing Jail routine and is
friendly with all his fellow
prisoners.
Very few visitors have come to
see him since he entered the dreary
red brick building on May s, but
Sinclair sees his lawyer twice a
week and keeps In touch with his
far flung business affairs.

The increase in expenditure over

IDEA TO Be
PIJSHED|N
HOUSE

Work on a new bill, pro-
viding a representative in
Congress for the District of
Columbia, with supervisory
authority over municipal busi-
ness, is being rushed to COM
pletion by legislative counsel
of the House, it was learned
today.
The bill is to be introduced by
Representative Frank l.. Bowman of
. West Virginia, shortly after the
House returns from its recess next
month.
No business will be transacted by
the House until it receives the tariff
bill from the Senate, but, according
to an agreement between House
leaders, bills may be introduced and
referred to appropriate committees.
Would Be Busy
The new measure. known among
It's sponsors as ''the one-man govern.
ment bill" is designed to give the
District permanent contact with
Congress, at the same time leaving
the Commissioners undisturbed.
Under the terms of the bill, the
Districts contact man on Capitol
Hill would have the same status as
the representative of any other ter
ritory. He would be available to
District citizens needing Congress
sional assistance. and would appear
for the Commissioners before Senate
and House Committees, on the floor
of the House and, possibly, on the
floor OF the Senate.
Representative Ernest w. Gibson
of Vermont, discussed the measure
at length with Bowman during the
extra session, and a survey OF
opinion in both chambers of Con-
gress showed a decidedly friendly
attitude toward the bill.
Widely Discussed
It's specific provisions will not be
made public until after the draft is
finally approved by Bowman and
Gibson, but the bill in its general
terms has been widely discussed.
Neither Bowman nor Gibson
expect to obtain action on the
measure at the remainder OF the
extra session, but will press for its
passage at the regular session In
December.
Both members are united In the
opinion that the new municipal
officer shall be of. sufficiently high
caliber to warrant a salary of at
least $500 a year. Only by such
a figure, they believe, can the
District obtain a man with good
grasp of municipal problems and
one who would make good record
on Capitol Hill.

that Brig. Gen. Herbert Deakyne,
assistant chief of engineers of the
Army may be the next chief OF

the custom for the assistant chief

ton. Brig. Gen. Harry Taylor be.
came chief of engineers after serv-
ing as assistant chief.

To BUFFALO
IN PARLEY

Decisions as to when and
under what conditions work
will be resumed on the annex
to the Government Printing
Office will be made by ma
tional representatives Of the
various building trades coun-
ell.
This was learned today when 1t
was revealed that the entire matter
has been taken out OF the hands Of
local union men, or has been vol
untaraiIy relinquished by them.
The matter will be decided at
meeting OF the national representa-
tives of the building trades unions
which win be held in Buffalo start
ing Monday, 1t was learned.
Both In Buffalo
Virtually all Of the heads Of the
local unions particularly those con-
cerned with the walkout of the men
on the Printing Office job, have
already left the city for the meeting
in Buffalo. To offset them repre-
sentatives of the employers. the
two contractors who are handling
the job, have also left for Buffalo
1t is understood that the repre-.
sentatives of the employers have
been promised an opportunity to
appear before the union meeting and
to place their side OF the contro-
versy before the labor leaders.
The employers, the Rust En-
gineering Company, which has
charge Of the construction. and the
Virginia Engineering Company,
which has charge of installation Of
equipment in the building. have
their side all prepared, and are
understood to have already placed
1t before the local men.
Step From nder
Local leaders, however, It IL said
in building circles, have refused to
accept the responsibility for ordering
their men back to york on the basis
proposed by the contractors. It Is
as a result OF this reluctance that
the matter win go before the Buff
falo conference.
The labor dispute has already
held up work on the building and
is endangering the completion of
the structure within the time limit
set by the contract. The trouble
arose, it is said, when the Virginia
Engineering Company, an open.
shop concern, attempted to use non.
union labor in the installation of
equipment. Immediately the non
union men appeared, the union en-
ployes of the Rust company walked
off the construction job.
