At the end of another stormy
session the Judiciary subcommit-
tee of the House District Commit.
tee, by a 3-to-1 vote, recommended
faVorably today to the full com
mittee the Bowman small loan"
bill authorizing loan companies
in the District to charge a maxi,
mum rate of 3l2 per cent per
month interest on loans of $500
or less.
After a display of considerable
bitterness between Representative
Lampert of Wisconsin and Reid
of Illinois, who clashed at yester-
days session, Lampert announced
that he would take his fight
against the measure to the full
committee and Reid shot back {:
Eyes, and you will be just as
successful before the full com
mittee as you have been before
the subcommittee"
Lampert retorted that he ex-
pected to be more successful"
Those voting for a favorable
report, after Lampert several
times had tried to adjourn the
meeting while waiting for a
quorum, were: Bowman of West
Virginia, Hall of Mississippi, Reid
of Illinois. Representative Pat
man of Texas voted present and
Chairman Mcleod declined to
vote because, he said, there was
no tie and the chair was not re-
qulred to cast a ballot.
Representative Lampert was
the only member voting mega
lively. The meeting was set for
10 O'Clock, but at that hour Lam
pert was the only member present.
He looked at the clock. adjourned
the meeting, and asked the secre-
tary to note the fact. Representa-
tive Reid and Bowman came in a
bit later and when Lampert in
formed them what he had done,
the former said to Lampert:
"YOu must have a lot Of
power around here to adjourn
a meeting. You adjourned
yourself. 1 saw you walking
around the corridors, but did
not know what had happened
to you"
With visible resentment, Lam
pert answered:
"SOme of these days you will
not know what has happened
to you"

MEETING IS SET.
On TAXI BILL

Acting Chairman Mcleod, of
the House District Committee, to.
day called a meeting of the Pub.
lie Utilities subcommittee, to take
early action on the Capper-Mc,
Leod bill requiring financial re
Sponsibility" of taxicabs operating
in the Capital. This meeting will
be held Thursday morning, the
District Committee already having
set other sessions for today and
tomorrow.
Meanwhile. it is possible the
Senate District Committee will act
en- the bill. At its regular weekly
session late today the Senate com
mittee was due to take UP the
Howell prohibition bill and the
Capper- Mcleod taxicab bill.
However. because of recent diff
ficulties in obtaining a quorum
of the Senate Committee, it was
not assured that the Senate Com
mittee would act on either meas
ure today.
Representative Mcleod, who
has been awaiting Senate action
on the taxicab measure, has de-
termined now to go ahead with
the House bill on the theory that
the taxicab situation here is be
coming more or less chaotic and
the Public Utilities Commission
lacks sufficient authority to cope
with it. The Mcleod bill is
sponsored by the Utilities Com
mission and is substantially the
same as the Capper measure.

eraI Contribution to District

Contending that the present
annual lump sum appropriation
of $9,000.000 by the Federal Gov
ernment to District expenses is
too much, and should really be
about $7,000.000, Representative
Robert G. Simmons of Nebraska
appeared before the House Dis
trict Committee in opposition to
the Moore bill.
This measure of Representative
r. Walton Moore Of Virginia, pro
poses to set up a special commits
sion to investigate fiscal rela-
tions betweeH the District and
Federal Governments and Repre-
sentative Simmons, as chairman
of the District subcommittee Of
the House Appropriations Com.
mittee, asserted that tire bill was
fundamentally wrong, that Con-
gress, and not a comTission,
should investigate fiscal relations,
and he thought it was back
door entrance" to a change in
the present arrangement.
In part Simmons said:
THE S9,OO0,OOO lump sum
was arrived at before came
to Congress. but if the Federal
Government paid taxes on its
property here they would
amount to a little over $7.0OO,-
900 a year, on appraised values.
l think this latter sum is more
nearly correct than $9,00O,OOO,
although have never gone
thus far before in saying it,"
Representative Reid, of Illinois,
asked what objection Simmons
had to a fact-finding commission,
and if he thought this was a
scheme to get more money out
of the Federal Treasury.
Simmons replied:
II think it is. / think it's
only purpose is to take this
matter out of the regularly
constituted committees of the
House and Senate and put it
in the hands of a special COM
mission. You can never satisfy
these people of the District of
Columbia who want more
money from the Federal
Teasury."
/ Representative Moore asked if
Simmons put no value upon the
opinion of experts, and why Sim
mons had objected to three citi-
zens of the District being on the
official investigating commission
. Representative Moore added:
you do not want to set up
a MuSSOlini system here, where
the citizens of the District have
no voice in their affairs, do
yOu?'
Simmons replied that the COM
mission would only result in con
fusion" and interfere with the
work of regular Senate and House
committees handling District
legislation.

that the District bill is practically
shaped by five members of the

dominated by Simmons, and that
their views possibly might be
wrong.
The interchange about the COM
mittee table proceeded for nearly
an hour, while Simmons was on
the stand, and then Daniel j.
Donovan, District Auditor, pre-
Sented a statement.
Donovan said the District Com
missioners had indorsed the

Ordinarily out to the Westward at isolated towns along the Alaska Peninsula, when an Alaskan dies, be he or she, native or white the matter of burial is simple matter following along stipulated lines which have ever been the custom. but when a stranger within the Territory is called to the Great Ad- venture it is not so simple.
 And particularly So when rela- tives, once they have been found and advised of the passing of their kln, write or wire back they desire the remains to be shippd Outside. Then the difficulties arise.
 Naturally government officials are the ones in charge but before removal of the remains many cer- tificates must be duly drawn up before the body begins it's final journey.
 By way of illustration one case is cited here where three visitors from the states were drowned when their canvas boat capsized. Their belon gin s were found ashore shortly after the accident and at that time relatives in the states were notified; but it was not until many months later, during the winter months, when the bodies were discovered the trouble began for those who had volunteered to assist. Trouble in this way, that after the officials of the cannery from which this accident is record ed had notified proper authorities of what had taken place, received certificates of death and removal of the bodies from the Territory. certificates conforming with trans shipment of dead persons, proper receptacles for bodies, and so on. the relatives, which was to be ex- pected, than began a flood of let ters asking a thousand and one questionSl These Werea answered. patiently, over and over again, en-
