 Late afternoon shoppers in Jersey City. heard the dropping of the planes engines just over their heads as the ship arrived. Watchers below say 1t careen between the buildings and, at one time it appeared certain 1t would crash.
 Many persons became frightened. One woman reported to police head quarters that the plane had snapped the radio aerial from the roof of her home. Hardly had the report been made, however. when the pilot sighted beacon atop the Labor Bank building and probably mistak- ing it for another headed off toward the northwest. instead of the south west as he should have.
 Then Salway found a ''hole" in the fog over the meadows near the plant of the Public Service Gas and Electric company. Sweeping down, the plane was headed directly for the dangerous high tension wires when watchman waved warning. It was too late. There was a crash, a tongue of flame and the plane fell
 
 It was 15 minutes before rescuers could remove the bodies

Safe Guarding Clause

Satc Guard1ne ClauSe
 London, April 19 Pl-The safe guarding clause of the naval treaty being drawn up here, which the na- val delegates themselves had kept vigorously secret until after final approval of the home governments, was revealed today in dispatches from Tokyo.
 The clause provides for an in crease in the navics of either Japan, the United States or Great Britain the three signatories to the pro- jected limitation treaty7-if the building programs of non leignatory nations are considered excessive.
 The clause reads:
 If, during the term of the pres ent treaty, requirements of national security of any of the high con- tracting parties in respect to vessels of war limited by part three of the present treaty are, in the opinion ot that party, affected by new con struction of any power other than those joining in part three of this treaty. that high contracting party will notify the other parties to part three as to the increase required tc be made in it's own tonnages. speci, flying the proposed increase and the reasons therefor.
 "The other parties to part three of this treaty shall be entitled tc make a proportionate increase IF the category or categories specified.
 The part three of the treaty men, toned is that which contains what generally is regarded as the real ac- plishment of the conference, the limitation pact by which the navics of Japan, the United States. an1 Great Britain are to be limited The safeguarding clause is the last pro. vision in this part three. Franco and Italy neither will be signators to it.
 No Consultative Clause
 Conference observers noted tha in the safeguarding clause the con. sultatiye idea is omitted altogether For q nation which considers ii. position endangered by the building program of another, to abrogate tn, figures of the treaty will be ncces sary only to notify the other two nations, which would be allowet proportionate increases in the samt categories.
 While the situation generally fore seen here in which the guard ing or "cscalator" clause, as it alst is called might be brought into play involves Great Britain ant France and Italy, the clause refer equally to Japan or the United States. General opinion was tha those two nations would be less like ly to find it necessary to invoke it provisions.
 The draft treaty is being polishet off, and will be ready for the sign ing at Tuesdays plenary session l the approval of the governments , obtained by that time. Prime Min ister Macdonald, Dino Grandi o Italy and Aristide Briand, Frcncl foreign minister, are expected l. return here Monday in anticipation of the signing. All are at thei homes for Easter vacations.

Airways Plane Visits

The Alaska Washington Air
 ways seaplane Sitka paid the
 camp a visit Thursday, arriy- ing from Ketchikan shortly be- fore noon in charge of Pilot E. A. Meyering and with Mrs. Meyering, Mrs. J. Edmonds. Lawrence Kubley and Ralph Bartholomew, of Ketchikan, and plane mechanic Frank Wadman on board.
 The object of the planes vis- it was to convey MT. Henry c. Giegerich, Consolidated Min ing and Smelling Go. field en- gineer and his supplies into the Twenty mile River country. north of Stewart, to make all examination of mining proper ties in which the Consolidated is interested.
 It was found, however, that the Stewart customs officials would not permit the plane tt make the trip, as, being ar American plane, customs reg, ulations would not allow it to land at points where there is no customs office. This is said | to be a recognized rule in ait | transport between Canada and, the United States.
 After several hours were spent in futile efforts to over come the customs difficulties. Mir. Giegerich abandoned the project and the plane and its passengers returned to Ketchi- kan.

supply during the low water period which occurs in the win ter. Ample quantities of sand and gravel lie within few hundred feet of the dam site, mak ing concrete materials easy to obtain. Since there is a very steep drop along the side of Portland Canal at the power house site, it will be possible to unload machinery and supplies from boats directly onto the site, with almost no dock re- quired.
 Electric power lines will car ry the power to Hyder and Stewart, up the Salmon and Bear Rivers and down the east side of the Canal.
 The statement adds that by the time the plant can be placed in operation there will be available not less than 10,- 900 horse power in load, which will insure the financiel success of the enterprise from it's com mencement.
 The company was organized recently in Seattle to carry out the enterprise.

SEAT TLE-ALASK AIR MAIL SERVICE MOVE-
 MENT LAUNCHED

l The McNary-Watres bill, de-
 signed to encourage commer-
 clal aviation and giving the
 postmaster general authority
 to award contracts for carrying
 mail by air, became a law July
 and has resulted in the
 launching of a vigorous move-
 ment to secure air mail service
 for Alaska, which unquestion-
 ably needs such service more
 han any other section of the
 country.
 However it is up to Alaskans
 70 show that they are en- titled to and need such service. And the best method for inn pressing the necessity upon the postal authorities is for the people of the Territory to make direct and personal appeal for it.
 Realizing this, the Alaska Washington Airways is asking Alaskans all over the Terri tory, and also former Alaskans 1ow living Outside, to send in their reasons why the govern ment should give them this service, and is offering a num- Der of suitable prizes for the best letters received.
 The letters should be ad- dressed to the Postmaster gen. eral at Washington, D. C., but should be sent to the Alaska Washington Airways head quarters in Seattle, by whom they will be forwarded to Washington. Letters should be sent Ill as soon as possible, as oromptness in replying will be ] determining factor in select ng the winners, as we'll as log e in reasoning and briefness of form. The contest will close October 1.
 The first prize will be a free 'ound-trip air ride to Seattle from any town n Alaska, or rom Seattle to Alaska, if the winner is a resident of the States. A number of other priz- es will be offered and will be announced later.
 In announcing the contest, he Alaska Washington Air ways points out that that the feasibility of commercial fly ng in Alaska has been demon- ;trated almost every day of ev- cry year since planes were first brought to the Territory. The dependability of flying ill he North has in fact made Alaska the most "air-minded" district in America and Alas kans per capita fly more miles per annum than than do the of any other state or territory. The record of the Alaska Washington Airways of having flown more than a million miles with more than ten thousand passengers and $ without an accident, shows in most conclusive manner the feasibility and practicability of flying in the North.

$3,OOO,OO0 POWER
 PROJECT PLANNED
 FOR DISTRICT

CT Company plans lnvolye the construction of hydro-elec- tric power plant on Davis Riv- CT in this district costing $3,- 000,000 and having an ulti- mate capacity of 10000 horse power, is the outstanding state ment of a communication from Willis T. Batcheller, president of the company, received by the Herald this week.
 AS reported in this paper last week, a survey party headed by Edwin R. Wright, who has been engaged in the capacity of resident engineer, arrived on the motorship Norco from Seat tie last week and is now on Da- wis River.
 MT Batcheller says in his an- nouncement that it is planned to complete the final surveys and investigations this fall and to start actual construction a. soon as plans can be prepared and the necessary detail. worked out. The Federal Pow. CT Commission has granted the preliminary power permit and the necessity license will bt secured as soon as the fielG work has been completed and plans prepared.
 The new power company. the statement says, has secured the only commercially feasible power site in the district, locat ed 12 miles south of Hyder or the Alaska side of Portland Canal, where a narrow box canyon carries the Davis River between two granite mountains rising $500 feet above tide water. The natural fall of Davis River is no feet in a dis tance of 1900 feet from tide water and it is planned to con struct an arch dam of suffic. tent heighth to produce head of $50 feet for the initial devel opment, which will later be in creased to 800 feet as the pow CT market increases. On ac- count of the specially favor able formation of the damsite it will be possible to construct the dam much more cheaply than is ordinarily the case and the proximity of the site to the center of power distribution which is Hyder, will result in 2 low power cost.
 A power tunnel 800 feet long and steel penstock pipes prob ably half that length will deliv- CT the water to the turbines4o- cated in a concrete power house on tide water. The init ial installation will have ca pacity of not less than 10000 horse power, with the possibil- ity that this will be increased to 15, ,000 in case plans now un- der way in the district make it necessary to have this capacity available. The power is to be used to supply the towns of Hyder, Alaska, and Stewart, B. C., the statement continues, as we'll as the mining district To- cated along the Salmon and Bear Rivers, where there is no electrical system at present and power is supplied by small Die sel engines.
 The dam as originally con- structed will create a reser- vior two miles long which will serve a ample insurance against g shortage of water
