CACHES AND CABINS
 WIPED QUT LAST FALL "
 REPORT TRAPPERS

Practically every cache and cabin in the upper Vent and Kahiltna Ivalleys Vas wiped out last fall by
 bears, according to reports arriv- ing thru trappers. The trappers have practically been driven out of
 the country thru the destruction of caches containing . winters SUD- lply of foodstuffs and smashing up
 of stoves and cabin furnishings. N Charles Harper, one of the Hope
 district placer operators, and Carl
 Martin, city councilman of Anchor
 age, returned from Kahiltna this Iweck and report bears having conn pletely demolished everything in their trapping camp Not content with destroying foodTtufls, the ani- mals took the stoves outside. jump ed on them and smashed them into shapeless masses. They then gath cred the washtub and two water pails and stacked them in the door way where they had torn the door off it's hinges They then proceed .ed to pay their respects to the roof, tearing it off and allowing the in- terior to become showed in.
 Matt Hamburger, another we'll known trappar, who with Joe Kros- ke, works the Kahiltna valley and Treasure creek, are also sufferers, as we'll as Strum, Wagner, Ericson and dozen others scattered ba- tween Rainy Pass and Cache creek.
 If what the prospectors and trap pers promise the bears comes off next spring, the Alaska Game Com- mi1sion will be compelled to call for the U. s. Army to enforce any regu- lations against staying bears of all varieties. It is planned t0 devote the spring months to eradicating bears from the district.
 The result of the denredations of the bears has been to almost eclip7e the entire trapping season. Fur is reported late in showing up and without supplies the trappers have lifted their traps and made their way to points where they can se- rure food.

BLIZZARD STRIKES WYOMING.
Loss of Life and Heavy Property Dam
age Feared in Wake Of Storm.

Loss of Life and Heavy Property DAM
age Feared in Wake Of Storm.
BY the Associated Press.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 25.--Loss Of
life and tremendous damage to live stock
and other property was feared today fol-
lowing the worse blizzard in the history
of wyoming which had isolated this
city for nearly "a hours and paralyzed
transportation.
Telegraph and telephone wires were
down in every direction from Cheyenne
and communication with the outside,
even by radio, was cut off last night
when the electrical power was turned
off to prevent casualties from contact
with live wires on the ground and
housetops.
Train service, except on local short
lines. was at a standstill and all high
ways were blocked. Even motor travel
in the downtown streets here was almost
impossible.
Many interstate busSes due here yes
terday were not accounted for and mo-
tor cars were known to be stalled on the
highways in many parts OF the State.
Throughout the day yesterday men
fought their way to Cheyenne through
huge snowdrifts to obtain clothing and
food for their wives and children suffer-
ing in automobiles stalled near the city.
Live Stock Loss to Be Heavy.
The storm, general over the Rocky
Mountain region, but not as severe In
other States, struck wyoming at the
height of the lambing season, and a
heavy loss of lambs and calves was be-
lieved certain by stockmen, who COM
pared the blizzard with that in May,
1927.
The storm that year claimed eight
lives and sheep losses ranged from
10000 in the region of Sheridan TO lO0,-

RE|CHSBANK RAISES
RATE TO I Il PCT.
Charge Schacht With
Deliberate Attempt to
Wreck Dawes Plan.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 25.-Today's action OF
the Reichsbank in raising its discount
rate from 6.5 per cent to rs per cent
has resulted in the creation of a situa-
ton which threatened breakdown of the
Dawes plan, upon which the entire
European postwar debt structure Is
built.
In French circles it was charged that
DIR. Hjalmar Schacht, Reichsbank presi-
dent, was deliberately trying to torpedo
the Dawes plan. His statement just a
week ago to the reparations experts,
when he was told his uncompromising
attitude led to breaq-up Of the confer
ence. was recalled:
II understand" he said then, But 1t
will be impossible for Germany to ex-
ecute the Dawes plan and she neces-
sarily will demand that the clause giving
protection against ruinous transfers
come into play"

today, it was learned in responsible
financial circles, to q raise in the dis
count rate.
Gilbert Issues Statement.
s. Parker Gilbert, agent general for
reparations, in statement today denied
that either he or the Dawes plan trans
fer committee, with whom he met yes
terday, had expressed an opinion to DR..
Hjalmar Schacht with reference to a
raise In the Reichsbank discount rate.
Mr.. Gilbert's statement read:
1.-THE transfer committee held its reg
ular monthly meeting yesterday. Con-
trary to reports which appeared In the
press, neither the committee nor its
chairman has expressed any opinion to
the president of the Reichsbank with
respect to the discount rate of the
Reichsbank.
"The committee authorized the usual
monthly transfer on the reparations
account.
(Signed.) IS. PARKER GILBERT"
The agent general declined to make
any further comment on the situation.
Closed Session Held.
A closed session Of the Dawes plan
transfer committee was held yesterday
at the call of s. Parker Gilbert to con-
slider the situation represented by con-
tinued large Withdrawals of foreign cur
rency and export of gold from the Ger
man bank. The committee said they
had been told this depletion Of the
banks gold reserves threatened to fall
soon to its legal level.
The transfer clause of the Dawes plan
provides for just such. contingency,
affording protection to German cur
rency In the event the payments under
the Dawes plan seem likely to endanger

NAVAL AIM
D|SQU|ETS GENEVA
Expected Demand for Parity
With France Seen as OBJ
StaCIe to Accord.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, April 25.-Representations
that Beriito Mussolini, premier Of italy,
will insist that his country have naval
parity with France in any arms reduc-
ton agreement which the nations may
reach have disquieted disarmament cir
cles here.
In one sense the reports of this stand
by the Italian prime minister offered the
first serious prospective obstruction to a
five-power naval reduction treaty which
has appeared since Hugh S. Gibson's
broaching Monday of American pro-
posals for naval disarmament.
II, was said here today the italian
government would ask parity with
France both on land and sea. French
officials were represented as falling to
see the justice of such demands and in
sisting for their part that extensive
French colonial possessions and coasts
open on two seas were sufficient reasons
for maintenance Of a navy superior to
Italy's.
Issue Becomes Acute.
So acute had the problem Of satisfy
ing Italy. at least on paper, began to ap-
pear today that delegates to the Pre-
paratory Disarmament Commission con-
ference wondered If an agreement be-
tween England and the United States
might not best be made prior to five-
power conference on naval reductions.
It was not believed France would inter-
pose serious objection to such pre-
liminary understanding.
A high French authority has ex-
planned that France hoped the prepara-
tory commission would be able to sub
NIT draft treaty to the September As
sembly Of the League of Nations, even
If this involved another session Of the
preparatory commission this Summer.
He thought it best that the naval ques-
ton be adjourned until then. when the
British general elections would be past.
He added Frances willingness to ac-
cept the It's ratio laid down in the
washington treaty extended only to
capital ships, and that it was clear his
government could not accept the figure
for cruisers, destroyers and submarines.
He did not believe the United States
contemplated demanding such ratio.
Progress Is Limited.
Although Ambassador Gibson's pro-
posal heartened the preparatory COM
mission conference and gave 1t new i'm
petus, there has been little progress to-
ward actual agreement upon terms of a
draft treaty.
Yesterday was given over to debate on
the German proposal Of prohibition Of
bombing from the air, and the delegates
made no real start on fixing the guild
ing principles of reduction Of air arna-
mentS.
Protests of the press against secret
sessions were recognized today with q
note from Jonkheer Loudon, president
Of the commission, that 1t was not his
intention to make secrecy the rule.

ON OIL COMPACT
Are in Accord With Federal Board
for Conservation Of
Supply.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute today was in
agreement with the Federal Oil Con-
servation Board in its plan for an inter-
state compact to halt overproduction.
The directors, after a four-hour ses-
sion, unanimously agreed to cooperate
with the Federal board in the study
of its program and meanwhile hold in
abeyance their own plan Of limiting
1929 production to the 1928 level.
Will Interview Governors.
The Federal board already has sent
DR.. George Otis Smith, director of the
Geological Survey, to interview the
governors of three or four dominating
oil-producing States to learn their views
on entering an interstate compact linn
iting production by controlling drilling.
The institute was informed that Gov.
Moody Of Texas has promised DR.. Smith
his cooperation and has said ne would
recommend any changes in the present
drilling laws Of the State necessary 70
meet the requirements Of such an inter-
state pact. =,
The institutes own plan of limiting
production, which was to have become
effective April l, was held up. after q
delegation from the institute had gone
to washington for conference with
the Oil Conservation Board and had
been informed that Attorney General
Mitchell had held that the board was
without authority to approve or dis
approve the plan or to relieve the In
dustry from the possible danger OF
prosecution under the laws relating to
restraint of trade.
=. b. Reeser, president Of the insti-
tute. said after the meeting that the
institute was "just as strong for con-
seryation as ever and that the de-
cision Of the directors was "the best
we could reach under the circum-
stances" He said another meeting

Wyoming Is Para|yzed as
Worst Storm in History
Sweeps Over State.
SEVEN PERISH AS WIND
STRIKES TEXAS TOWN
Nebraska Raked by Twisters in
East, and Rain, Snow and Hail
Bring Havoc in Western Part.

BY the Associated Press.
Tornadoes and blizzards had torn
their way across Texas. Nebraska and
Wyoming today, leaving death and
desolation. in their wake, and several
Rocky Mountain States had experienced
snow and rain storms that demoralized
traffic on the ground and halted 1t In
the air.
Three East Texas farming hamlets
were wrecked by two tornadoes, the
most severe of which shook the little
town Of Slocum to pieces and killed
seven persons before continuing along
its three mile wide path to raze Ben
son Springs.
The tornadoes struck in Eastern
Nebraska as blizzard was raging across
the Western part of the State. Cloud
bursts occurred in some sections and at
least two towns suffered from floods.
In wyoming loss OF life was feared
from the worst blizzard in the history
of the State. Communication systems
were wrecked and transportation
brought to a halt Automobiles could
not de driven, even in the city streets
of Cheyenne.
The blizzard centered in Wyoming,
but was felt with less severity through
out the Rocky Mountain States.
Streams in several parts OF Colorado
were nearing flood stage and the Yama
River was reported carrying away its
bridges.
The storm struck in the lambing sea-
son and it was feared that there would
be enormous loss among live stock. The
property damage was impossible to es-
innate, but it was known that it would
be great. Besides the several commu-
mites that were wiped out by the
twisters. many isolated farms and
homes were probably destroyed.
