Howard Haas Kills Self With Basin Of ChlOr0f0rIn

Brooklyn, N. Y, July r CUP)- The development of the "talkies'
 with the subsequent decrease in en- ployment on the legitimate stage.
 and a $20.000 loss in last October's S market crash proved too much for Howard F. Haas, actor. His wife.

BRUEN|NG BECOMES
 GERMAN DICTATOR
Chancellor Will Issue All De.
 CreeS Regarding Finance

Berlin, July r (UP)-Chancellor Heinrich Bruening entered upon a partial dictatorship of Germany to- day to effect the financial reforms which the Reichstag for weeks has refused to authorize.
 The dictatorship. which President Faul Von Hindenburg sanctioned under article AS of the German con- stitution, was confined solely to the financial program for the present, and did not give the chancellor the far-reaching and unlimited powe1 S customarily attributed to a dictator.
 Bruening decided on the noscl method of relieving his country s economic condition after the Reicn- stag yesterday had rejected by a vote Of 256 to 204 a decisive clause of the governments budget deficit propos- als. He notified the Reichstag fae cabinet no longer was interested in the other clauses of the progam, summoned a cabinet meeting. and announced the financial dictatorship. Thus Germany realized in a small measure the threats which Bruening has held over the Reichstag's head for weeks as he exerted every means at hand to bring the internal eco- homie and financial policy more in line with the suggestions of S. Pack CT Gilbert. agent general of repara- tions, in his final report under the now defunct Dawes plan.
 The chancellor must rule by de- crees which must be approved by the Reichstag. Only a majority vote is necessary for upholding or rejecting

backs on these principles and broken faith with the voters who made it possible for them to be Republican nominees.
 Must Turn to Democrats
 Ut is significant that, faced with defeat in the general cleo tiOn by the reason of their pri- mary losses, the Indians did not turn to the Democratic party for an alliance to save them from a November disaster. Un- doubtedly they were aware that 7uch an offer would have been rejected. Our organization does not differentiate between a white vote and an Indian vote from a racial standpoint. But it does distinguish between a vote that is bossed and directed and one that is cast freely for candidates of it's own choosing and with clear understanding of all the principles and issues involved.
 Therefore to avert political Obliteration, they made over lures to those men they had op- posed so bitterly in April and brought about an alliance of candidates under a spacious plea of party harmony
 This, necessarily, leaves the Democratic party and it's can didates the only hope for the Division. T hese candidates, in good faith, are standing upon a platform that is identical with that upon which Messrs. Gard ner and Scott made their pri- mary race, but which they have abandoned in order to get the 1000 or more .boss-ridden In- dian voters of the Division.

WASTING MONEY

We see the Government thru it's Alaska Railroad making a very expensive effort to operate that road-spending money in a manner as only this great gov ernment can. Just to aid in the development of the Territory.
 We note that Henry O'Malley's Bureau of Fisheries is making |just as much effort with consid- erable expenditure of federal money to drive out men who are lured to Alaska by the prom ise of quick money in it's fisher ies. We see men discouraged by the legalized blackmail system wherein federal officials bar gain with men to plead giulty to charges of illegal fishing be- "ause such a pleading will be the less expensive. Men who were absolutely innocent of law vio- lation are blackmailed and brow beaten into submission in order that the servants of the people might make a record to further make themselves secure in their jobs.
 We note the Forest Bureau enforcing a maize of regulations that have smothered the saw mills and stifed the loggers so that they cannot operate; and this same department which is protecting the forests from Alaskans eliminates Alaska $ l itimber products from competi- tion with the States in local and foreign fields.
 The salmon industry alone
 if operated as in Canada should
 support a fishing population ot
 5000 men; with families added there would be a permanent po- ipulation of 6O,OOO people making

 Dear Editor Mir. Paul;
 This might not be worth the paper it is written on, in a jour- naliSt's opinion, but I'm boiling lover and I have to let out little steam for relief. So I'll try to explain myself in a crude, way
 (What I mean is I'm crude and
 uneducated) but will try to make it plain enough so others in the same boat as I may read if they care to.
 ! Yes, it's about fish for one
 thing. I've been on the West Coast for two weeks. We went
 down before O'Malley's (who
 bears a fine Irish name) sche-
 duled, timed, and what-not,
 closed season and was there
 after it closed and saw millions jcf fish come in.
 What are the fish coming for?
 Just to die and rot by the mil
 lions? If there were just a few 1 fish, those dried-up streams
 could take care of their spawn,
 but now there's no chance. what
 few fish, and few there'll be
 that win their hopeless battle
 to get their spawn buried. Their
 spawn will just be kicked up
 sWirled around and destroyed by
 the others thousands of hsIi ]; that's oacked in those creeks. ! l don't believe one egg in a billion Cor make it a trillion) | that has spawned will produce ! salmon. Of course you knew this long before I could ever tell you. But you and your brother Bill have fought so long for your rights. your people
 rights, the skin f1ints, and the
 traitors rights, that your holler is getting old to the disintereSt- ed party; such as Congressmen and the likes. They think it's the same old gag.
 I think everyone has a right to state his opinion of condi tions, if he is not blind to them We'll, I guess I can see the ex- ploitation of this country, oul country Alaska, we AlaskanS and residents who live here the year around, we who have to die clans in the winter and cut
