NEW YORK. Aug. 7.-Alone in Fifth Avenues house of mystery 80-year Ella Wendell lives to- day-last of line ruled by real estate for two centures-sole holder of $l00,000,000
 Until a few days ago two were cloistered in the only dwelling that clings to midtown Fifth avenue, among its soaring sky-scraper neighbors.
 The other occupant, Miss Ella $ sister, Mrs. Rebecca Wendell Swope, is dead and Ella is alone in the shuttered brick house.
 The house, built in 1856 for $5.000 and now valued at $2000,000 was one of the first links in the real estate chain begun by John Wendell who laid upon his descendants the duty of buying the choicest of New York property and never thereaf- ter letting it go.
 For many years Miss Ella lived with five sisters and brother, John Gottlieb Wendell. He refused to allow his sisters to marry on the ground that it would put portions of the precious property under other names than Wendell. He died in 1915. V
 Only one sister defied the broth CTS edict. Late in life Rebecca mar ried Professor Luther A. Swope, a friend of the vicar of Trinity thereafter John Wen- del discouraged his sisters from go- ing to church.
 The sister remained in the old house, lighted only by sputtering gas jets, without electricity, tele- phone, radio or photograph.

BIG NEW AMERICAN SHIPS
 TO OUTCLASS 'sLEVIATHAN'

NEW YORK, Aug. IA 90,000,- 900 shipbuilding program designed to give America supremacy on tne rich North Atlantic ocean trade routes, has been launched by the United States Lines.
 In 1929 this country stood sev- enth among the worlds shipbuild- ing nations. Then Paul w. Chap man, who was born on an Illinois farm and never had crossed the ocean, decided to go into the ship ping business.
 He bought the United States Lines for S16,000,000 from the gov- ernment. A policy of expansion, en- couraged by the Jones-White bill, which provides government aid for shipbuilding and operation went into effect. Now America has more merchant ship tonnage under con- struction than any country except Great Britain and Ireland.
 Contracts already are signed for the first two units of the United States Lines program. They will be two huge 20-knot first-class lin- CTS, the largest ever built in this country, says Chapman.
 Costing jointly more than S21,- 100000, the ships will be 705 feet long, with a beam of 86 feet and gross tonnage of 30,000. Each will accommodate 1900 passengers.
 These ships, to be launched in 1882, will be similar in design to the Leviathan, but will have two tunnels instead of three Their in- teriors will be even more luxurious than the present flagship of the American merchant marine.
 In keeping with an agreement with the shipping board at the time the line was purchased from the government, the United States Lines program also includes plans for construction of two super ships of more than 45,000 tons displacement, with speed of about 30 knots. Their cost is tentatively placed at about $35.000,000 apiece.

CHAMBER IS TO ENTERTAIN OLD
 TIMERS AUG. IA
Will Commemorate 50th Anniversary of Found
 ing of City Next Week

Old Timers Day. commemorating the 50th anniversary of the found- ing of Juneau, will be featured by the Chamber of Commerce next Thursday at it's regular weekly meeting, it was announced today by E. M. Goddard, Acting President. The anniversary date is August IT.
 It is the hope of the Chamber to have present as many of the pioneers of the community as pos sible. w. John and Richard Harris, who with Joseph Juneau made the original discovery of gold, will be among those present.
 Special Stamp Refused
 A special cancellation stamp boosting the projected Pacific Yu- kon Highway, asked by the Cham Der of Commerce from the Federal postal authorities, was not attain able, the Chamber was advised by Postmistress J. L. Spickett, who took the matter up with the Department at Washington. She was informed that the policy of the Department is not to permit any special can cellation stamps to be used unless they advertise some of its own &C., tivities.
 A resolution was received from the Cordova Chamber of Commerce expressing resentment at what it termed "unwarranted and illadvised propaganda" appearing in special articles in the Seattle Star alleg- ing graft and corruption in the construction of the Alaska Railroad.
 Want Territorial Meeting
 A communication from the An chorage Chamber of Commerce sug- gesting a convention at that city next month to be attended by dele gates from all Alaska Commercial bodies was referred to the officers of the Territorial Chamber of Con- merce organized here in 1929. M. s. Whittier, Secretary of the All Alaska Chamber, is not in the city but is expected to return shortly. It is understood that meeting of that body is contemplated here sometime during the 1881 session of the Alaska Legislature.
 The Territorial organization, it was pointed out, was never entire ly completed. Only two Chambers perfected their utilization. The first was the local Chamber, and Nome later joined. No responses were ever received from any of the other clubs. E. R. Tarwater, Anchor age banker and member of the 1929 Legislature, was elected President of the Territorial Chamber.
 Letter From Dauntlcss
 In a letter to Acting President Goddard, Capt H. R. Moore, com mander of the British h cruiser Dauntless, expressed the deepest ap- preciation for the "cordiality and welcome" shown officers and men of that vessel during it's nine-day stay in this port. He also thanked MT. Goddard personally for his ef- forts to aid in making the visita- tion a success. T hope U will be my good fortune to again visit you all in Juneau" Capt. Moore said.
 Henry w. Wright, Supervisor from the Fifth District, Los Angeles, a member of the Los Angeles Cham Der of Commerce's goodwill tour to Alaska this summer wrote thank ing the Chamber for the courtesies extended him and others of the party during their stay in Juneau.
 During the past week the Secre- tary's office received and answered Al requests for information on Alas ka, Secretary G. H. Walmsley re- ported.
