$32,5OO FOR STAMP
Rare Poster Is Purchased by Utica
Collector.

Collector.
UTICA, N. Y, OP)-The worlds rar-
est stamp and probably one Of the most
valuable, is owned by Arthur Hind Of
Utica, who paid $4,000 for it.
It is the only known specimen of this
stamp, a one-cent issue of British
Guiana, dated 1856. The stamp supply
in British Guiana ran out that year
and with the aid Of local printer a
temporary stamp was designed ana
printed there.
Sixty years later one remained. 1t
was bought by a German count, whose
valuable collection was seized by the
French during the war. Sale OF that
collection Melted France 100000 and
at that time Hind bought the Guiana
stamp.

STUNT FLYING IS CONDEMNED
 BY COR. JURY
Flights Like Those in Which Ten Lives Lost, Too
 Hazardous

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Jan. D. A coroner's jury with three experi- enced aviators among the jurors, condemned the flight of two mo- tion picture camera airplanes which collided in mid-air last Thursday and killed 10 persons, as too haz- ardous"
 We believe that flying of such nature is too hazardous and in no way encourages commercial avia- ton and in too many instances, seems unnecessary" the jury said.
 At the time the verdict was being returned, Lieutenant Colonel Ros- COG Turner, pilot of the plane from which the parachute jumper was to have leaped into the sea for the picture filming when the mid-air crash took place, was scattering the ashes of Kenneth Hawks, director over the spot where he died as a result of the accident Mary Astor Hawks, his widow. and a group of friends watched the plane scatter ing the ashes over the sea.

FISHERMEN IN BAD WAY SAYS
 SU I KIRKLAND
Delegate Declares Big Can ming Industry Has Virtual Monopoly in Alaska DENOUNCES USE OF
 ORIENTAL LABOR
Says 10000 Whites Have Left Territory Because
 of Administration

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-A pie ture of the distressed conditions of the Indian and white independent fishermen in Alaska was portrayed for the House Tuesday by Delegate Dan A. Sutherland of Alaska, in his plea for Alaskan control of the fisheries. A virtual monopoly, he said, had been granted the large cannery interests This condition, he said, was responsible for an exodus of 10000 white people from Alaska during the last twenty years.
 The conditions in Alaska, he said, had brought about the abject pow erty of the Indians. The impor- tation of Chinese and Philippine labor to aid the fishing canneries. he assailed as policy depriving the Indians and whites of almost all opportunities to work.
 Makes Charges
 The Delegatg also charged rep.c- sentatives of the canning industries had kept Congressional Representa- tives and other important delega- tions which had studied conditions from learning true conditions.
 MT. Sutherland was given unani- nous consent to address the House during the War Department Bill debate. He swung at once into a description of Alaskan conditions. Questioned by Representative John E. Rankin, of Mississippi and Rep resentative Samuel S. Arentz, of Nevada, said that one remedy of the situation would be 'insistence by Congress that the fisheries be Administered on the basis of fair distribution of the fish.
 ' The Delegate assailed the Bureau of Fisheries for failing to guard the heritage of the Indians" which they were instructed to protect. There are fewer fish now being taken than before the conservation program was enacted, he said.
