F forest Service Scientists Complete Two Months
 Study in Field

After more than two months re- search work in Tongass National forest, Ray F. Taylor, Forest Ex- aminer, and Wendell Moran, Jun for Forester, United States Forest Service, arrived here yesterday on the Ranger K, Capt. Bernie Aik- ems. They will be engaged in simi- lar work in this district for several days and then work up their field notes during the winter months.
 Their studies have been direct ed toward forest growths and re- production rates. Last year MT. Taylor completed study of forest growths and timber yields.
 Beginning about the middle of July, MT. Taylor and MT. Moran left Ketchikan and worked north covering old cutting areas to check the rate of reproduction of timber by types and species. They have about ten days work to do in the Eagle River district before the end of the field season.

104 PRISONERS ARE LISTED BY
 FEDERAL JA|LS
Largest on Record at This Period of Year Most
 ly Dry Law Victims

More prisoners are being held in Federal jails in the First Division now than ever before at the same Nnriod since he took office, said United States Marshal Albert Wnlte today. The number in de- tention is 104, including several that have been bound over to the Federal grand jury.
 Of this number, the Marshal es- timated between 65 and TO per cent are serving time for violating the Prohibition laws. The remain der are charged with varying minor crimes, larceny predominating.
 Juneau leads with 46 prisoners, most of whom, however, were sent here from other towns. Ketchikan has p, Douglas 10, Skagway nine, Wrangell IA, Petersburg 2, Craig Haines 2, and Sitka 1.
 This is not the largest number of Federal prisoners ever held at any one time in the Division. De- cember and January usually are the heaviest months, and the light months fall in the spring and sum- mer periods.

 FALLING PRICES
Many Stocks Reach New Low for Year-Securi-
 ties Market Flops

NEW YORK, Sept. 19-The se- curities market flopped today and the fall in stocks was only broken by extensive repurchases by bears seeking to collect their profits. As it was, the close of the exchange showed several stocks at new low prices for the year. The repurchase by bears sent some stocks slightly up from their yesterdays low price for the year. The losses were less severe than those of yesterday which brought many stocks down below the June low level.
 Pressure against sterling exchange and British bonds had an unset ting effect. Spectators were anx- ious to sell sterling short but were discouraged by leading banks.
 Domestic affairs failed to account for the large scale of selling of the last two days. New York brokers are inclined to regard much of it due to unreasoning hysteria.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana, Sept. 1o,--New tales of horror and de- ;struction wrought by the recent Hurricane that destroyed Belize, British Honduras, were related here today by a little company of sur vivors who arrived from the scene
 Mrs. Althea Hargreaves, of Chi cago wife of the manager of a steamship company at Belize, said she stood helpless among scores of persons and watched the de- s.ruction of the city
 5000 Believed Killed
 Most of the persons killed were blacks. Her estimate is 5000 dead out there is no way of telling the exact number as scores were burn ed when the debris was set afire to check a possible pestilence.
 Mrs. Hargreaves said the authori- ties found so many persons buried alive in some places that funeral fires were quenchad for fear of burning live persons.
 Buildings Save In
 John M Staub, of New Orleans, said the roof was blown off the hotel, where he was a guest, by the first blast of the hurricane. The second blast caved in the walls and he was covered by the debris.

REPEAL FAILS

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April r.
The Maryland legislature ad.
journed last night without action
on a measure to repeal the
declaration of intentions act.
The measure, which was intro
duced by Senator Beck, of Kent,
was brought to the Senate floor
-arly in the session along with IL
other bills Incorporating recon,
mendations of the Election Law
Revision Commission.
It was favorably reported and
made the special order of bust
ness for three consecutive days,
but then was recommitted. At
adjournment it was locked in the
safe of the Senate Elections Com
mittee.
In 1929 the legislature passed
measure of a similar nature
which exempted Baltimore and
Prince Georges counties. Later,
however, the State court of ap-
peals held that the measure, be-
cause of the exemptions, was un.
constitutional.

QUIT
IN BATTLE ON
FIRE NEEDS
Commerce Members Decline
To Spend More Money on
Equipment for Bethesda

BETHESDA, Md, April Two
delegates to the Bethesda fire
board from the Bethesda Cham
ber of Commerce-George P.
Facks and John Imirie, represent
ing different view as to the need
for new equipment for the Beth
esda Volunteer Fire Department
handed in their designations at
last nights meeting of the cham
ber held at the County Building
here.
Sees Fund AS Waste
Mr.. Facks declared he could
not serve on the board and see
$4,000 of the public's money ex-
pended in more equipment and
urged the chamber instruct its
delegates to vote against the pro
pOsal unless it gets a certified
statement from competent and un.
prejudiced experts saying that the
present apparatus is not adequate.
Mr.. Imirie told the members
that if they voted to instruct
their delegates to act in that
manner he, too, would resign.
There was no need to consider
the matter, he argued, as it had
been heard for several months
and the fire board did not reach
a decision until it had had ex-
perts from the District of Colum-
bia Fire Department inspect the
engines.
Both designations were accepted.
New Officers Elected
Thomas Earle Hampton, secre-
tary of the chamber for the past
three years, was elected president
of the organization. Other Off
GERS chosen are Thomas F. Laf-
fin, first vice president; Edward
H. Jones, second vice president;
o. Waddie Imirie, treasurer, and
Thomas L. Peyton, secretary.

SCHAFER LAUDS
HEARST PLAN
ON DRY LAW
Modification Action Is Likely
In Next Session, Leader of
Liberals in House Asserts

OF all the suggestions for rem
edying the prohibition situation
the proposal of William Ran
dolph Hearst stands as the most
feasible and likely to solve the
problem, Representative John c.
Schafer (R0, of Wisconsin, de-
clared yesterday.
AS leader in the anti-prohibi-
ton forces in Congress, Repre-
sentative Schafer predicted that
at the next session of Congress
the "antis'' will have enough
votes in the House to force votes
on prohibition reform bills.
Creates Monopoly
The plan suggested by Mr..
Hearst to retain control of
liquor legislation in the Federal
Government and to allow re-
stricted manufacture of alcoholic
beverages under Federal license
for sale in States legalizing their
consumption.
The Government would set up
monopoly for the distribution
of such beverages, selling in linn
tied quantities to licensed restau-
rants, hotels and homes.
Representative Schafer said:
Adoption of the plan pro-
posed by Mr.. Hearst, 1 believe,
will solve the prohibition issue,
nvad 0cf
prosperity and cut down the
crime wave which is due largely
to criminals, who have gotten
rich in bOOtlegging liquor.
81 shall do all in my power as
a Member of Congress to see it
adopted.
"Under the plan proposed by
Mr.. Hearst many men would
be given legitimate employ
ment, the Government would
obtain revenue.
"The farmers would be bene-
fitted Fcr the Hearst plan would
provide a market for crops"
Action Predicted
Estimating that there will be
at least 40 anti-prohibitionists
in the House at the December
session, Representative Schafer
predicted that votes will be OBJ
tanned on various prohibition re-
form bills. Among the measures
which should be voted upon, he
said, are those providing for sub.
mission of the question of repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment to
State conventions, the Wicker,
sham Commission proposal that
if anything is done to modify
prohibition, it be to give Con-
gress full power over the question
and take the prohibition man
date out of the Constitution, and
a bill modifying the Volstead
act to allow 2.75 per cent beer.

in it's last-minute legislative rush
here last night was a bill, intro
duced by Senator Mcintosh, of
Baltimore County, regulating
