 RELIEF DESTITUTE
HESS WOULD IMPOSE GASOLINE TAX ON AUTOS USING THE
 HIGHWAYS

JUNEAU, April Is, Especial to the Gateway )-The senate amend ed the pensions section of the measure to codify the laws relating to the relief of the destitute and indigentS by eliminating the clause limiting old age pensions to per sons arriving in Alaska prior to December 31, 1905 and requiring continuous residence of 20 years for both pensions and admission to the Pioneers Home.

 The senate passed the non-reS- ident fishermen's license; a tax measure raising trollers fee to $50 for one line and $50 for more than one line. The other clauses are unchanged.
 Hess introduced a bill imposing a tax of three cents per gallon on all gasoline or fuel oil used by motor driven vehicles operating on public highways.

INVESTMENT BOND
LIST SCORES GAIN
Success of Reparatlons Con.
ference and Credit Re.
lief Aids Market.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK. June 3.--There were
two favorable departments in the invest
n1ent situation today which had pro-
nouneed effect on bond prices ana may
result In Q permanent Improvement In
bond values.
one was the winding UP Of the
checked the liquidation in foreign issues
for the past month. The other was evil
dence that the acute stages OF the
credit strinsency have passed, giving
domestic bonds q chance to recover
from the series Of blows they have had
since January.
Situation Is Promising.
1t is quite probable that the Govern
ment may now be able to finance its
June IS requirements on at least . 8
per cent basis, with the possibility that
even ~ per cent short term note will
be acceptable to the market when 1t Is
offered later in the month.
The effect Of the improved credit
situation has been to withdraw offerings
both OF long term and short term ma
TURTLES from the market and to bring
In bids from quarters that have not
been willing to make investments since
the hurry Of last April Altogether
ising than II has been in months.
The German group was directly
benefited by the final agreement reach
ed In Paris on debt payments. German
rs rallied nearly q point. Central Bank
for Agriculture rs and IS were up from
4 to 2A points, with the latter nearly
s points above last weeks low. Various
German municipal, public utility and
industrial bonds scored substantial
gains. The French and Belgian issues
we're also strong. but did not rally so
much as Germans, for they had de-
clined less during the liquidating period,
Italians gained fractionally. There was
some improvement in South Americans
following last weeks heavy breaks In
Bolivian, Brazilian, Columbian, Peruvian
and Chilean descriptions.
Hieh-gra railroad and public utility
mortgages were In fair demand at gains
OF from u to a point over Saturdays
closing. Even larger advances were
made In the secondary mortgages and
adjustments. such as those Of the ST.
Paul, Erie, Frisco, Missouri Pacific and
Rock Island.
Convertible List.
Convertible bonds reflected the stiffen-
ing OF stock prices. The largest gain
was that In American Telephone and
Telegraph AVS. which were up nearly
8 points. Third Avenue Is gained 1 Il
points and Certainteed Products the
same. The latter have rallied to within
q fraction Of their high of the year
after the long decline, which carried
them down from 81 to SO. Interna-
tional Paper skies dropped IA points
to new low record.

NEE LIGHT ON AN OLD MYSTERY

There IS no mystery like the mystery OF a ship that
disappears at sea and leaves no trace.
More than year ago the freight steamer kam-
loops went down somewhere in Lake Superior. in the
midst of raging December gale. The Great Lakes,
in miG-wnter, be quite dangerous the ocean
worse, at times because there hidden reefs
and less to dodge them. The Kamoops, a big,
modern steamer foundered with all of her of p.
Since then not a clew has been found concerning
her fate - until few days ago. when bottle
found along lonely stretch of shore, containing
penciled note signed Alice
The note purportcd to have been written By Alice
Bettridge, assistant stewardess the Kamoops The
writing nearly illegibe; however, after consider
able effort it was decphered.
The writer stated briefly that the ship had struck
submerged rock off Isle ROyale the mountainous is
land in the middle of the lake where the Indians, many
centuries ago, used to mine copper 1t added that the
writer alone OF the had managed 10 reach shore,
and was dying of cold and starvation.
Owners Of the steamship got busy at They
sent expedition to Isle Royale, and the long rocky
coastine of that almost uninhabited bit of land
thoroughly explored. The searchers found nothing
no wreckage, no bodies trace of any shipwreck
survivors.
The note then taken to the parents of the lost
stewardess They identified the handwriting hers
The note, apparently, mere hoax. Yet corro-
borative evidence utterly lacking.
Mystery-mystery. Probably it never will be
cleared up. There is something about the thought of
gallant ship beaten to death by in the cold and
darkness going down with all board that stirs
all. The nrstery of the today in the days of
TIE ancient Phoenicians, is gripping and somewhat
ocre. We never know Just what happened.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOSS

Responsibility sometimes is hard to trace. The
man higher up is not always in evdence-and when
he is it is not often easy convince him that he should
be held accountable.
In certain large city in the middle west there
have recently been highly disturbing political
scandals.
First the encouragement of the state investigated
tales of crookedness in the local elections He fired
the entire election board and grand jury indicted
couple of dozen election officials great
the mess he uncovered
Then a minister stirred by reports his parShoners
had brought him, forced public attention on the fact
that underworld dens of vice and crime were running
wide open-often with the connivance of members of
the police force.
Then city councilman was indicted for taking
bribe.
Then the head of the police force protested that he
because fast he fired them city councmen would
appear before the boss-rued civil service commission
and get them reinstated
The city, natural result, is in an uproar, de-
mandng wholesale housekeeping.
But where does the ultimate responsibility lie?
The city in question has, like most other cities
"boss"-a highly respectable lawyer whose word, in
political circles, very nearly law All of the officials
complained of held offices with his approval Not
once in the progress of investigation did he lift hand
to help. At any time, obviously he could have
edied matters with few hints dropped in the right
places
Yet this gentleman is resentful because the
newspapers are blaming him for the
The is described here because it is typical of
the sort of thing every American city into every
often Always the political leader manages to es-
cape implication. But always he is the one really
responsible.
Until we generally realize this responsibility we
haven't much chance of cleaning up cities and keep
ing them clean
