 History of Project
 The Juneau Chamber of Com merce, in April, 1904, petitioned the Congress of the United States to purchase a site and erect capi- tol at Juneau, Alaska. This, ap- parently, was the first step taken toward obtaining the building, the cornerstone of which will be placed tomorrow At that time, Sitka was the seat of government of the Ter ritory but with the development of extensive gold ore deposits along Gastineau Channel. Juneau and it's neighboring towns, Douglas and Treadwell. had become the chief center of population and industry in Alaska and an effort was being made by the citizens Of Juneau to have the governmental activities moved here This transfer was fin ally effected in 1906.
 Bill Introduced
 Tn the winter of 1909 and 1910, James Wickersham, then Delegate to Congress, introduced and worked for the passage of a bill appro- priating $250000 for the purchase of a site and the construction of a Federal and Territorial Building at Juneau Congress reduced the amount to s200.o00 after granting an appropriation Of s40,000 for Governors House at Juneau. The bill was passed by both Houses, June 25, 1910.
 The selection of site and nego- tiations for It's purchase started immediately after the passage of the bill, the Honorable Walter c. Clark, the Governor of Alaska, talk ing the leading part
 The aid of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce was enlisted and John Reck. F. WollaEd and John Malony were appointed a committee which

+ withheld.
 When the matter was finally re- vived a new mehod of handling appropriations for public buildings was adopted. A list of all prof ects approved for construction shY the Treasury Department was sub mitted to Congress which. there upon, in 1926. passed g bill atithbr-, izing a building program over n period of years. The Juneau proE ect was third on the list coveted by this program. saf
 First Appropriation
 In March, 1928, the first appro- priations under this authorization were made and the sum of $200,- 900 was appropriated toward the construction of the Juneau building and the Secretary of the Treasury was authorized to enter into a cori- tract for the entire estimated cost of the building not to exceed $775,- GOO and including the $177,5OO re- maining from the appropriation of 1910. Later in 1928 the office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department drew the plans for the building and early in 1929 construction bids were call led for. Several bids were sub mitted. They were opened July 15 and the N. F. Severin Co, of Chi cago, was found to be the lowest bidder. Its bid named price of s712,200 provided stone was used for trimming and $737, 200 if Alaska marble was required for this use. The bid calling for stone trimming was accepted. The contract pro- vided that the building be ready for occupancy not later than Sep tember 3. 1881.
 Ground was first broken for the structure on September 1s, 1928, Gov. George A. Parks lifting the first shovel full of earth at an ap- propriate ceremony.

 Consideration of desirable loca- tions was soon reduced to two sites Block No. 10 (Rrough Block) and Block No. l9 (MiSsion Block) of the Juneau townsite. The latter was the final selection and Is the plot on which the building is now being erected. It is an entire block, bounded on the south by Fourth Street, on the north by Fifth Street, on the east by Seward Street, and on the west by Main Street. Its dimensions are 200x20o feet,
 The blocx conJalned eight lots according to the Juneau townsite survey. Four lots numbered 1 to 4 consecutively faced south and were owned by individuals. The remain ing four lots faced north and were occupied by an Indian Mission con- ducted by the Board of Home Mis- sions. Presbyterian Chur. h of the U. s. A.
 Offers Made
 The Federal Government repre- sentatives made offers for the eight lots which were accepted by most of the owners, including the Board of Home Missions, but certain of the individual owners were unwill- ing to sell for the offered amounts. The Government would not increase its offer, whereupon B. M. Behrends and Guy McNaughton, citizens of Juneau, took the lead in securing public subscriptions to defray the extra costs. Thirty eight local firms and individuals subscribed total of $2,500, the extra amount de- manded, and this sum was given to. these lot owners. The Government then took possession of all the lots in the block, the dates of the transfer beingg June 10, 1911, for the Mission property, and July 12, III, for the other lots. The total cost to the Government of the eight lots was $22,50O
 Larger Appropriation
 Owing to rapid expansion In Federal and Territorial activities ln Alaska 1t was then found that the remainder of the appropriation was inadequate to construct suit able building. Efforts were made from time to time in the next five years to obtain an additional appropriation for the structure and in 1916, an item of $300000 for this purpose was inserted in an omnibus public buildings bill but this failed of passage.
 The entry of the United States in the World War brought about cessation of all public buildings &C., tivities throughout the nation, while immediately following the war. Fed eral finances were so greatly need ed in paying war bills and in re- turning the country to a peace time basis that appropriations for public building projects were large

A showdown on prohibition and ma

1882, Mr.. Vile predicted.
Prohibition is not closed ISSUE" he
said. 1T Is as wide open as are the
speakeasies of the country. 1t is not a
party question nor a political question,
but remains the one issue in which the
whole Nation is interested"
The Democratic party will score
sweeping gains in the coming election
Mr. Vile declared. 'I believe they will
capture the House of Representatives or
come very close. to, it." he said. There
will be q Democratic increase in the
Senate, also"
His two years as Chief Executive have
taken terrible toll from President Hoo
yer physically, Mr.. Vile stated. THE
President Is not blessed with the worry
proof temperament of Calvin Coolidge"
he said. He has suffered viSibly under
the merciless barrage of criticism during
the past year. After an absence of two
months from Washington 1 was shocked
at the change which has come over Mr..
Hoover"
Senator Willard Tydings was declared
by Mr.. Vile to be an outstanding posi-
bilitv for President in 1882 on the Demo-

CLEVELAND Police !
ROUT COMMUNISTS
Hoover Unaware of Disorder
Outside Auditorium Dur
ing His Address.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, October 3.-Charges of
mounted policemen and swinging night
sticks broke up an impromptu parade
OF Communists and unemployed near
the public hall where President Hoover
was addressing the American Bankers
Association convention last night.
When the paraders, variously esti-
mated between 900 and 800, attempted
to turn toward the public hall, motor
cycle officers laid down a smoke screen
and mounted police charged, driving
the marchers off the street and sending
them dashing for doorways and alleys.
Several men were knocked down, a
detective was beaten by parader, one
reporter received cuts and bruises that
necessitated hospital treatment, an
other reporter was inadvertently struck
with a nightstick welded by police
man, and spectators said scores were
dubbed by police.
Four Men Arrested.
Three store windows were smashed
during the melee and four men were
arrested for investigation.
The parade had formed in the public
square, a few blocks away from the
scene of the disorder, after Tom john
son, Communist orator, and others
exhorted the throng to march to the
public hall and protest against unem-
ployment.
Acting Chief Of Police George J.
MatowitZ instructed Capt. John Savage
in charge of the escorting mounted
police, to permit the parade so long as
there was no violence.
The marchers, singing the "Interna-
tionale" and other songs, were forced
by line Of police which surrounded
the hall to turn down st. Clair avenue.
After they had marched two blocks
beyond the hall, many of them tried
to turn back and the smoke screen was
laid down, leading some, including fire.
men on traffic duty, to believe tear
bombs had been hurled.
Soon there were cries of flight" and
the police charged. Some paraders used

RAIL LAW PROPOSAL
ST|RS DISCUSSION
Presidents Suggestion of
Removing "Handicaps"
Cause of Speculation.

BY. the Associated Press.
A paragraph in President Hoovers
speech of last night before the bankers
convention at Cleveland became in
stantly the subject of interested specu-
lation and Interpretation in both rail-
road circles and official quarters re-
sponsible for railroad regulation. 1t
was a section which expressed the de-
STABILITY of amending the transporta-
ton act of 1920 to remove 'handicaps'
to railroad functioning.
Opinions at Odds.
Considerable diversity in the opinions
as to how the President intended the
reference to apply was evident. In behalf
of the important and various railroad
groups interested in consolidating pres
ent operating systems of carriers into
larger units, it is suggested that the
mention dealt with the shaping OF new
legislation to facilitate that enterprise.
Some strength was lent to this view by
previous presidential utteranceS and
messages to Congress.
Principles Often Questioned.
However, leading railroad spokesman
frequently have questioned principles
incorporated in other phases Of the act,
touching on valuation, the recapture OF
excess earnings and standards Of re-
turn by which the Interstate Commerce
Commission has power to fixe rates.
Since the reference conceivably might
apply to any or all of these matters, It
was assumed in most discussions today
that President Hoover will specify his
wish for changes in future addresses or
messages to Congress. A variety of bills
are in congressional files tentatively OUT
lining new legislation on all the phases
Of railroad control mentioned and on
others as well.

CLAIM DEMOCRATS
SHOW FAVORITISM
Senator Watson Charges Incon-
sistency in Advocacy Of
Tariffs.

Charges that Democratic Senators
had inconsistency advocated tariffs af-
fecting their States and then voted
against passage of the Smoot-H awley
bill were made last night in a speech
by Senator Watson of Indiana, the Re-
publican leader.
To-day we find the Democratic party
and its allies having no policy of their
own for the betterment of industrial
conditions" Watson said in speech
over the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn. He added it was "endeavoring
to destroy the leadership of President
Hoover" and that for IA months Senate
Democratic LEADERS had kept American
business in uncertainty as to the flu
ture Of tariff policy upon which bust
ness commitments must be made"
Asserting the recent tariff increase in
Canada was not retaliatory measure,
the. Republican leader said the rates
in the Smoot-Hawley bill on Canadian
products were substantially lower than
the Canadian rates on American prod
ucts under the Canadian schedules
which existed before the Smoot Hawley
bill was enacted.
