the majority leader, announced
that unless the opponents Of the
treaty agree to vote next Tues
day, or agree drastically to limit
debate to 10 minutes for each
Senator on each reservation, the
majority will apply cloture. He
said:
I'VE have the votes to apply
cIOture and we will apply it un-
less an agreement is reached"
The application Of cloture,
rarely attempted in the Senate,
would restrict each Senator to
an hours debate, which would be
tantamount to about q dozen
hours debate, as the advocates
of the treaty have shown no
disposition to debate it. The de-
batting has been by the oppoSi-
ton.

They were released when their
alibiS were found to be perfect.
Howard L. Brewster, Wach-

crime and he was locked in the

Gun Was Stolen
After an untiring hunt for more
than two months the police mar
'rOwed the search down to Her
man H. Barrere, arrested last
night in Canada. He is said to
have Dragged that he knew Miss
Baker. He disappeared shortly
after the body was found. Mr..
Campbell, a real estate man Of
Oak Crest, Va, recently turned
over to the police a pistol which
authorities say was used in kill
ing the girl.
Campbell said Barrere had
SCOleu SeVeral arClcleS from MS
home and he had him arrested
for that at the time SiSSon was
in jail. Barrere later was re-
leased. Campbell told the police
that he kept the pistol in his
home. A couple Of weeks ago he
said his suspicious were aroused
when he found the pistol in a
drawer in the desk in his office.
He said he searched for the
pistol when a man who said he
was a friend of Barrere came to
him and told him that he

tary Road, near the Arlington
Cemetery, disclosed the fact that
she had been shot three times;
that she had been struck 50 hard

On the afternoon of the mur-

at the regular time with Miss
Inez Eyre. They walked to the

Lenten services. The services ended
about $50 o'clock and the two
women parted at 14th and g

was going to get her car. Miss
Eyre is the last person known
now to have seen Miss Baker
alive.

On April IL local police were
notified that a Ford sedan, the
property of Miss Baker. was
found deserted near the Arlington
Cemetery. Deputy Sheriff Rich

 MT. Robertson conferred with rep. resentatives of the Fishing Vessel Owners Association on the proposed new halibut treaty with Canada He said that organization had filed a protest against the pact in its present form which provides for regulation of the deep sea fisheries by an International Commission of Americans and Canadians. The fishermen are opposed to regulation in that manner, but would not op- pose a treaty based upon fixed law
 Play Minor Part
 The Canadians, the A m ri c T fishermen contend, play minor part In deep sea fisheries, taking most of their halibut from inside waters in Canadian territory. Ar International Commission compos- dequally of Canadians and Ameri- cans, would give the Canadians equal authority with the Americans over operations conducted large.y by the latter.
 It was pointed out, also, that the Japanese are beginning to invade the waters of the North Pacific for halibut, and nationals of Japan would not be bound by regulations of the proposed Commission and could, therefore, fish in closed zones and in seasons during which the Americans and Canadians could not operate.
 Box Shook Plan
 A tentative plan has been worked out by a prominent salmon packer for solving the Alaska box shook problem, MT. Robertson said. He was not at liberty to reveal the na- ture of the plan or it's author, but said it was sound.

 Cordova had a prosperous year Tn 1930, he said. The opening of Prince William Sound to trollers for the silver run of fish at the end of the season was highly beneficial to the fishermen, who made from $1,OOO to sf.O0O as a result of this action by the United States Bureau of Fiji heries.

 Plan for Air Company
 Gerald Smith, promoter of a new aerial transportation company here appeared before the Chamber and outlined briefly his plans. He said a Sl0000O company had been in- corporated here and expected to float it's stock on the local market, keeping it a purely Juneau concern. He declared conditions here are fav- orable for all-year operations.

The Commissioner declined for the present, at any rate, to extend the seining season in Chatham Strait, and refused to grant the Chambers request for an al-year trolling season in Icy Strait. He said lack of wardens made it impossible to establish stream patrols in that district and that experience had proved that trollers would invade
