HOUSE MOVES
FOR DRY Law
IMPROVEMENT
Judiciary Group Leader Is
Persuaded to Present
Two Measures.
WICKERSHAM ADVOCATE
Make u S. Commissioner
Trial Judge in Petty
Cases, Proposal.

BH United Prcss
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Switch-
ing around under the perSuasions of
President Hoover's law enforcement
commission. the house judiciary
committee decided today to sponsor
two vital measures in the commits
Sion's prohibition reform program.
For years, the committee has bot
tied up the proposal to enlarge the
powers of United States commission
ers so they can try prohibition cases
without jury. It also has failed to
act on the proposed amendment of
the Jones law to give the commits
Sioners broader powers to infiict
light punishment for casual and
slight violations"
Chairman WickerSham of the
commission, former attorney-gen-
eral, argued for two hours before
the committee today that the first
proposal is constitutional. At the
conclusion of his argument, Chair
man Christopherson of the commit
tee announced he would, within a
few hours, introduce two bills in
the house to carry out the commits
sion plan.
He said he had been convinced
by Wickersham and another COM
missioner, Roscoe Pound, dean of
the Harvard law school, that the
proposals are absolutely constitu-
tionaL"
Clears Road
The winning over of the commit
tee clears the road for consideration
of the most criticised phase of the
commissions plan, but stormy de-
bate is expected in, both houses be-
fore the bills can be passed. Many
dry authorities in the senate take
issue with Wickersham and pound,
doubling the wisdom or the consti-
nationality of "tampering with the
jury system" as they call it.
The first bill, Christopherson said,
would permit commissioners to in
f1ict a fine or sentence upon all dry
law violators willing to plead guilty.
This system would avoid grand jury
indictments.
would not however, be binding until
upheld by a federal Judge. If the
law violatOr pleaded not guilty, the
commissioner would be empowered
to conduct a trial If found guilty,
the violator would have three days
to demand a jury trial. If no such
demand were made. the commits
sioner could impose sentence, which
in turn would have to be certified
by the federal judge.
Places Possession
The second bill would place pos
session, single sales and small
ufscturers, where only one person is
employed, in the category of casual
or slight violations" Transporting
small quantities of liquor and assist
ing in transporting also would come
under this heading.
This violation would carry a maxi
mum penalty of $500 fine and six
months in jail instead of the heavy
penalty of the Jones five and ten"
law.
Wickersham and Pound appeared
in executive session. Wickersham
would say only that he had a pleas
ant visit" The secret nature of the
proceedings is expected to be called
to the attention of the house. Men,
bers of congress have been CRITICS.

The First Presbyterian Church of Wrangell was destroyed by fire this morning at 7o'clock. The building was being used by the city as a high school build ing. Details of the disaster were not received.
 This church was the first pro- Itestant church in Alaska and came as the result of the erortS of Phillip Mckay, native of Port Simpson, who brought to Wran- gell the first message of schools and the Protestant religion. The late Dr. s. Hall Young was the irst ordained pastor to occupy the pulpit Of the church.
 Many old landmarks of Wran- gell are fast disappearing thru death, and fire and deteriara- ton. Those Old Timers who pass through will miss these old land marks which only too grimly point to the road which leads to the land of Mystery.

He reminded the people that when the infamous Jones Marine Act was before Congress, he (Wickersham) was not the re- cognized delegate to Congress but that George Grigsby was And when T protested against that bill which gives to Wash ington a privilege that it denies to Alaska in the way of shipping. George Grigsby told the Com r1ittee that I was in the pay ot the Canadian Steamship O. George Grigsby made no protest against that bill. Perhaps it is a mere coincidence that GrigSby is now the paid attorney of the Alaska Steamship Company, the chief beneficiary of the Jones Marine Bill, a bill which prohi- bits Canadian vessels from bringing American Goods north while permitting the same Cana dian vessels to take the same goods south to Seattle"

Danger for Mills

Declaring that the security ol the lumber industry of South east Alaska is threatened by the inCreaS ng popularity with can nerymen of paper cartons, c. T G2rdner has urged the Juneau Chamber Of Commerce to take some positive action at the October IS convention or can neIymen at Dillingham;, Wash. in an effort to keep the business in the Territory.
 Unless the canners are induced to break away from the present trend toward using paper boxes, the lumber industry of the Pan handle will be ruined within a few years, MT. Gardner asserted. Seventeen hundred persons, he 2aid, are dependent on the lum- Der business. The capacity of the Southeast Alaska mills is 2.500,000 cases a year. This year 100000 cases were cut, while the estimated output for next season is ,5O0,00O cases. In three years time there will be no box es manufactured if the present trend is allowed to continue, ac- cording to Mir. Gardner.
 As an example of the ruinous results of the importation of pa- per boxes, MT. Gardner told the Chamber that Of the three lead Ing mills in Southeast Alaska, only one, the Juneau Lumber Mills, operated the full season. The Ketchikan concern averag- ed about five days a week during tn season, while Wrangel's in dustry had an even quieter sea- son.
 The Repiblican candidates for the legislature have pledged themselves to make effort to remedy these conditions to make it possible for logging camps to operate at a profit and to give the lumber mills sufficient con- jracts to make it possible for the mills to operate full time. This will bring a solution in a 2 large way to the economic problem Of the Territory.
