NEW STRIKE IS REPORTED FROM
 TAKU DISTRICT
E. B. Sparling Makes New Strike on Taku River
 Engaged in Stripping

A second strike, said to be un- usually promising, is reported here to have been made on Taku River by E. B. Sparling, a prospector of this city. The discovery is To- cated on the main river and is a short distance above the Manville discovery lying between it and the Eaton Williams property.
 Information regarding this lat est find is meager. The mineral is said to be similar to that on the Manville discovery, zinc, lead. silver, gold and copper. Good values were reported to have been found in samples taken from surface out croppings.
 MT. Sparling left here early this week for the scene of his strike. He has three men with him and will start stripping at once The discovery was made early last week, after he had spent about seven weeks in the district.
 Considerable interest has been manifested in Sparling's find. This. and the recent sale of the Manville discovery, known as the Big Bull Group, has resulted in several ad- ditional prospectors going into the district and others are preparing to follow as soon as they can get transportation.

TARIFF REPRISAI
 THREAT MADE BY
 ITALIAN MINISTER
Ass0ciaffd Prrtt Ph0f0

ROME, July 18-Italy may re- wise her whole schedule of import duties to combat those imposed by the United States, if the sug- gestion made to the Chamber of Deputies by Alessandro Martelli Minister of Economy, is carried out The Chamber approved the Min ister's budget for the forthcoming fiscal year, but did not discuss his references to the new duties.
 q don't see," said Martelli, "how Italy can continue to spend in the United States four billion lire a year ($2o0,00000D, since she will no longer be able to compensate herself adequately with her accus- toned corporations. We export to the United States 1,500,000,000 lire worth of goods each year, which leaves us an unfavorable balance of 2,5OO,O0o,oO
 If the protectionist fever pre- vails and tariffs increase still fur ther, we, who have always been too accommodating, ought to fol- low a new line of conduct. We are not a people who can receive hurt without resenting it. We de- clare very strongly that we shall respond to nations who increase their duties by elevating our own duties"
 Mussolini was among those who applauded the minister's speech.

OBJECTION TO
 ENFORCEMENT
 HEAD VOICED
Suggestions by Chief of New Commission Are
 Bitterly Assailed
ARKANSAS SENATOR
 MAKES STATEMENT
Declares CIV. Wickersham Should Resign-Takes
 Rap at President

WASHINGTON, July 1S.- Prohibition Enforcement sug. gesti0ns by George w. Wick ersham, head of President HOover's Law Enforcement Commission has brought wig Orcus objections from one section of the Dry Group, saying that Wickersham sac rificed his usefulness by sug- gesting responsibility for Pro- hibiti0n Enforcement be di- vided between the State and Federal Governments.
 Senator Thaddeus ii. Cara way, Democrat of Arkansas, said: sI hope he resigns"
 Senator Caraway, long prominent advocate and defender, holds the letter Wickersham sent to Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, and read before the Governors Conference at New London, Conn, on Tuesday, brands the Dry Laws as unenforceable and gives encour- agement to crime of the world"
 Hard Blow
 Senator Caraway said the state ment in the letter was the utmost blow Prohibition has suffered" de- claring further that unless Presi- dnt Hoover acquiesced in the let ter" he expected "Wickersham to resign soon.'
 ''The usefulness of the Commis- sion is already destroyed if Wick ersham continues at the head as nobody believes capable and inn partial survey of the Prohibition question can be made"
 Law Is Weak
 Wickersham, in his letter to Gov Roosevelt pointed out the weak ness of the Federal Prohibition Law and suggested plans for strength ening it. The letter is described as the first public expression of the Law Enforcement Chief on the subject.
 Suggestions Made
 MT. Wickersham, in the letter, said enforcement. rested chiefly upon the shoulders of the Federal Government but suggested some feasible means of dividing the burden of enforcement betwee States and the National Govern ment. The States, according to suggestions of MT. Wickersham, should be given police control over retail transactions, the Fe der a l Government to retain the policing power over the wholesale end.
 In the letter, MT. Wickersham assured Gov. Roosevelt that Pro- hibition is a most serious subject and it is receiving great considera- tion from the Law Enforcement Commission.

 Peel Castle stands on St. Pat rick's Isle, which is connected with the mainland by a quay.

CINCINNATI, July 18.-The Ohio River, winding 1000 miles through an important industrial district, will attract President Hoover to Cincinnati October IS to dedicate it's canalization, a Government pro- ject providing year round route for commerce.
 Fifty years ago shippers trans ported wares on the Ohio River only six months in year. At times the water was less than one foot deep.
 The Federal Government in 1879 decided to control the rivers depth by constructing a series of dams and locks. The first was built just below Pittsburgh. Since then 48 other dams have been built, the last of which will be completed this summer, assuring shippers a con- tinuous 9foot stage during the en- tire year. The project cost $110,- 100000.
