out the unexpired term of the late Rep

SECRET SESSIONS

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. B. Sineure offices entailing expenses ranging from $10,000 to $15,000 yearly, giving no returns to the Alaska Railroad, are sapping the appropriations and are responsible for large portion of the s1,00o,- 900 deficit according to revelations ferretted out by the Senatorial Committee according to authentic information emanating from the secret sessions which have been occupying the past two days.
 Looping off Process
 Among the offices practically making no returns to the railroad, according to the reports, is the tourist agency in Chicago and Spec ial Assistant Secretary of the In- terior
 AS the probe goes deeper, indica- tions point to radical looping off of these alleged growths and the railroad will be placed upon the basis of private concern.
 No Incompctency
 Asked if the investigation reveal ed incompetency on the part of General Manager O. F. Ohlson, or irregularity, a member of the Sen- atorial Committee replied No"
 Purchasing System
 Among the questions being con- sidered is a change in the pur- chasing system with the possible transfer of this activity to Alaska thus eliminating the dual function ing. of this department.
 Es Future Policy
 From remarks let drop by the committee, Senators Howell, Ken drick and Thomas, the future pro- gram embraces intensive advertis- ing of the natural reserves and re- form of Federal activities in the Territory granting enlarged consti- tutional powers approximating full home rule as far as the Territory is able to assume.
 Going to Seward
 The hearing here has progressed to the various railroad depart ments and a large amount of data has been presented by the various officials covering operations. It is likely that a special train will take the committee to Seward to- day where a final hearing will be held there, possibly only one day, before the Senators sail south.
