NEWS FROM WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9 Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur of the Interior Department, in his report issued today devotes considerable space to Alaska. He declared in his annual report that the Alaskan schools of the United States Bureau of Education and the reindeer are too remote to be administered sue cessfully from the bureau office in Washington, D. c.
 He makes recommendation with view of divorcing the two from Washington control He asks that the seat of authority be made as near as possible to the districts needing attention, perhaps at Jul neau or Anchorage.
 The Secretary further asks that the Alaskan administration officer be given large discretionary powers He explains that in the past many matters could have been settled on the ground, but were subjected to serious delays by governmental redtape at Washington.
 The disbursing officer, the sec retary says in his report, should be stationed in Alaska and settle ob- legations promptly. He asks that the Commissioner of education be relieved of administrative duties and responsibilities of the reindeer industry, and that it be immediate ly transferred.
 Secretary Wilbur recommends that the reindeer industry, the oy- erseeing of financial transactions, including the so-called Alaskan trust fund and the transfer of the hospital administration and hos Dital work, to be placed under the health service of the Territorial government.
 WASHINGTON-If visitors to fosemite National Park next sum mer see a bear with a streak of paint on his side, they may know that he bears this badge for his misdeeds, probably housebreaking and theft, and that he has been in exile.
 It is largely the fault of summer visitors. Bruin feels that there must still be food in the buildings which exuded it so generously dur ing the summer and he breaks in to see what he can find. So many places have been damaged by bear raids that it was necessary to get the animals away.
 So a wagon was rigged up with piece of large corrugated pipe closed at one end and having trap door at the other. When a bear was reported to have been committing depredations the wagon wa s wheeled to that section, piece of meat placed inside the trap door and Bruin entering became a pris- oner. Bears taken in these raids are marked with a daub of paint and transported to the lower end of the park.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. B. Prospects for a long drawn out legal battle seemed certain today as the tedious process of choosing jury to try Mrs. Lois Pantages, on a murder charge, continued in the Superior Court. Her husband, Alexander Pantages is also to go on trial soon for alleged assault on a young girl dancer in his private office.
 Both the prosecution and defense have exhausted preemptory chal- lenges and a second panel of ven iremen has been called.
 Mrs. Pantages is charged with being under the influence of liquor and reckless driving in connection with the death of Joe Rokumoto.
 According to moves of the de- fense, it is expected counsel will try to prove Mrs. Pantages was suffering from nervous condition and was not intoxicated and there was no malice on her part. Malice must be proved before murder conviction. The defense will also attempt to prove that Rokumoto's own negligence caused his death and that he died not as a result of the accident from being run down by Mrs. Pantages's automo- ! bile but from an operation which 1 followed.

 During a public service of 25 years, William E. Dever regarded his accomplishments merely as du- ties and work that had been ex- pected of him.
 ! Thus, when he concluded four year administration as mayor of Chicago his proudest boast was that no civic scandal had marred his term of office.
 There has not been a scandal in the city hall for four years" he said "and that is unique"
 Yet his administration had been notable for it's constructive legis- lation and it's epochal public inn provements. Its achievements had been substantial, although not spec tacular. Wacker Drive, Chicago's famous double-decked boulevard was completed during his term and Mayor Dever pushed through the legislation that made possible the strengthening of the Chicago River :, A split in the Repubftcan ranks which caused Mayor William Hale Thompson to withdraw from the race for renomination in 1922 gave the Democrats the opportunity to capture the mayoralty. Judge De- yer, who had been an alderman from 1902 to 1910, majority leader during two Democratic administra- tions and judge of the Superior and Appellate Courts 13 years, was selected to lead them. His margin of victory was 105, 1000 votes.
 Mayor Dever chose his cabinet from among the ablcst civic and business leaders of Chicago with out regard to politics or creed. HlS selections did not meet with favor from some good government" so-

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Leading Wall street brokerage houses, con- vinced that big markets are here to stay and that there are several more years of prosperity in sight, are planning further expansion.
 Two houses already have arranged for brokerage service on five of the largest transatlantic liners and others have similar plans under consideration.
 The heavy tourist travel to Eu- rope this year has resulted in the opening of several branch offices in the watering places of Europe and more are planned for next year.
