PIONEER FEELS AS IF HE WERE
 JUST BORN AGAIN
Lockie MacKinnon Will Ask w. D. Gross to Change
 Pictures at Sitka

q feel as if I were born again, '' was Lockie MacKinnon's reply to query as to how he felt when he disembarked from the steam ship Queen last evening. He was home from a weeks sojourn at Goddard's Hot Springs near Sitka.
 "If residents of this part of Alas ka realized what a delightful, rest full place the Springs are, the place would be crowded all the time" said MacKinnon. "The baths are lux urious, and the accommodations at the hotel leave nothing to be de- sired. Indeed, it is not excelled in Alaska. The Springs are boat ride of two hours from Sitka. This trip never loses interest. The route af- lords the travellers views of some of the finest scenic beauties in the world"
 MT. MacKinnon left here two weeks ago, accompanying a party of Old-tlme AlaskanS to the Plo- neers' Home at Sitka.
 "The Home is in excellent condi- tion," he declared. The only dis content among the inmates was in connection with the motion picture theatre conducted by w. D. Gross at Sitka They think the programs should be changed every night in- stead of every other night. Inmates of the home are admitted to the theatre free shall see MT. Gross about this as soon as he returns here from his self-imposed task of touring Southeast Alaska towns to collect a Christmas fund for the inmates of the Home"

 of High Degree

 The law, medicine, politics, busi- ness, diplomacy, literature, arts aviation and even crime detection were all represented at the gather ing.

SACRAMENTO Cal, Dec. 3.-An Alpine village, 4,000 feet high in the Tehachapi mountains, soon will materialize feminine ideas of how a prison for women should be de- signed and run.
 There will be no grim, grey walls" no watchtowers, no heavy barred windows, cell blocks or armed guards.
 The superintendent and all other employees, so far as practicable, will be women-yet it will house at the outset 120 inmates now con- fined to San Quentin penitentiary and ultimately will have accommo- dations for a maximum of 500.
 The new experiment in penology starts out with the idea in mind that the best penitentiary for wom- en is the one which looks the least like one, and which has a "correc- tive" rather than a punitive atmos- phere.

APPEALSC0URT
 BASES RULING
 ON WHITE LAW
Says Nonresident Trollers License Law Violates
 Federal Statute

Under the so-called White Fish cries Law, the Act of Congress of June 6, 1924, all citizens of the United States are vested with equal rights in Alaska fisheries, and the Territorial nonresident trollers' li- cense requirement is in violation of the former act, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals held in it's decision last week, 1t was re- vealed here today when a copy of it's decision was received by At torney General John Rustgard.
 The Territory, as already made public, will undertake to carry the case to the United States Supreme Court under a writ of certiorari.
 Court Draws Issue
 In it's decision the Appellate Court stated the issue as follows:
 We are not now concerned with the almost-unlimited power pos sessed by the several states ov,f fish and game within their borders, nor are we particularly concerned with the legislative authority of a territory when limited only by the rightful subject of legislation clause usually found in Organic Acts. The question here is: Does the Terri torial Act of 1929 deny citizens of the United States rights guaranteed to them by the laws of the United States?, and we are constrained to hold that it does"
 It quotes from the present Fish cries Act of Congress for Alaska, showing the authority granted the Secretary of Commerce in relation to administering the fisheries in Alaskan waters and cites one pro- vision as follows That no citizen of the United States shall be de- nied the right to take, prepare, cure or preserve fish or shellfish in any area of the waters fo Alaska where fishing is permitted by the Secre- tary of Commerce.
 Tax Is COnfiscatOry
 The Court then declared the right so granted cannot be inn paired or destroyed by the legisla tive assembly of Alaska. If it can, the grant is an idle and empty one at best. Nor is the right thus con- ferred in anywise impaired by the last section of the act, which pro- vides in general terms that nothing herein contained shall abrogate or curtail the powers granted the Ter ritorial Legislature to impose taxes or licenses nor limit or curtail any power granted the Territorial Leg islature by the Organic Act"
 The Court then denied that the naked power" to impose taxes and licenses, or to make reasonable" discrimination between residents and non-residents was involved in the case. "On the contrary" it said, "the Territory, under the guise of taxation, has attempted to destroy right conferred by Congress on

CONGRESS GETS DOWN TO CR|ND;
 RIFFS LOOMING
Heralded Harm ony Nar- rows as Parties Begin
 to Consider Messages

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. Congress today found work in abundance with both Houses get ting down to business with all pos sible speed. Unemployment, Pro- hibition, and the Presidents budget message came in for more than casual consideration.
 While party leaders were ab- sorbed in legislation to provide work for unemployed, and discuss ing important nominations, the Senate was occupied with debate over the bus bill, and the House had before it the matter of ap- propriations.
 Both branches first took ur President Hoover's budget measure Little opposition is expected for drought relief legislation, but un- employment plans may encounter a hard road, due partly to the re- luctance of Democratic members tc pass legislation appropriating $15o,- 100000 which would go into ex- ecutive hands for use without re- Straint.
 Democratic leaders take the at- titude that Congress ought to know where the money is going before giving it into Presidential control
 Nor was Prohibition talk absent in today's sessions. That subject was largely occupying the time o1 those interested, both in repeal ano enforcement The tentative plan under discussion by the Drys, tc submit the question to a general referendum is meeting more anc more opposition from various Dry sources. Some of them took the position that other Constitutions amendments should be submitted to referendums if the Eighteenth is.
 Harmony Narrows Notch
 The widely talked of harmony between parties over emergency re- lief appeared to have narrowed down another notch today. There was so much skeptical comment on the part of Democrats on the Presidents recommendations that it seemed likely that some snags might be struck.
 Republican spokesmen for the ,S,, ,o+, ,,ontyaI ohnad fnt immediate action on President Hoovers recommendations. House Democrats were hesitant about sup porting them unreservedly John Garner, Texas, Democratic floor leader, said Never before outside of wartime has any President ask ed for such power And other Democrats joined in expressing the same sentiment.
 Nye Still Investigating
 Despite the action of the Senate yesterday in seating James J. Da- wis, of Pennsylvania, Senator Nye Chairman of the Senate Campaign Fund Investigating Committee, was still delving into primary campaign costs in the Keystone State. He said his committee had uncovered expenditures amounting to $272,31z for Davis and Francis Skunk Brown, defeated by Clifford Pin chot for the Gubernatorial nom- ination last Spring, over the $368,- 962 reported to the committee.
