5-MAN COURT IS NAMED TO
 MAKE INQUIRY
President Appoints Com mittee to Dig Into Ac-
 cusations M a de
PROBE IS DIRECTED
 AGAINST NAVY LEAGUE
Criticism ofPlans to Shrink Naval Budget Starts
 Investigation

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov B. On a five-man court rests Presi- dent Hoover's contentious that Will liam Gardiner, President of the Navy League, spoke falsely when he accused the Chief Executive of "abysmal ignorance and effort to starve the Navy" and should apolo- gize for his statement.
 The five-man court consists of the following:
 Assistant Secretary of Navy Ern- est Lee Jahncke
 John Hays Hammond, retired mining engineer
 Eliot Wadsworth, of the Prssi- dents Emergency Relief Commit tee
 Under Secretary of State William R. Castle.
 Admiral Hugh Rodman, retired.
 The first three named members of the five-man court are listed as members of the Navy League.
 The inquiry must be solely into assertions of fact made by Gardi- ner and not into his opinions or conclusions" the White House state- ment said.
 How Trouble Starts
 The issue started last week when a fighting temper aroused Presi- dent Hoover to an open bout with the Navy League which is criti- cising his plans to shrink the naval budget. He declared the claims made by Gardiner were "untruths and a distortion of facts"
 The strange situation is pre- sented today of a President bat ting openly with a militant big navy organization, while one of his Cabinet officers struck out at 8 racificist organization.
 The President is working toward showdown with the Navy League, particularly it's President. William Gardiner, who opposes the Presi- dents plans for naval curtail- ments.
 Adams's Charges
 Secretary of Navy Charles F. Adams charged the World Peace Foundation with interpreting the national delense statistics "in . manner inimical to the United States and in manner favorable to national defense of foreign pow erS."
 The Navy League is divided on the attack against President Hoov- CT. Henry Beckinridge, one of it's former Presidents and Democratic Assistant Secretary of War under President Woodrow Wilson, broke the ranks by stating:
 T desire to disassociate myself from so much of the Leagues statements as speak with disre- spect of the President of the Unit- ed States"

CHAMBER HEARS FIVE SPEAKERS AT MEET TODAY
lessen, DeViighne, Hawkes. worth, Dr. Fellows and
 Stewart Speak

Talks by five speakers featured today's meeting of the Chamber Of Commerce which was attended by a crowd that taxed the seating ca pacity of the luncheon room at the Arcade Cafe and overflowed into adjoining booths in the main par. of the restaurant.
 Those speaking were: E. F. Jes- sen Editor of the Seward Gateway; Dr. F. S. Fellows, Director of Medi- cal Relief of the Alaska Division of the Office of Indian Affairs; pr. H. c. DeVighne. Territorial Commissioner of Health; c. w. Hawkesworth, Acting Chief of the Alaska Division of the Office ot Indian Affairs, and B. D. Stewart, Chairman of the 1892 Red Cross Roll Call for the local Chaptei.
 Westward in Good Shape
 Conditions in ..estern Alaska are at least normally good, Mr. lessen said. There is a minimum of un- employment and business is going ahead about as usual.
 A reduction of some $200,0 was made in the million-dollar annual deficit of the Alaska Railroad dur ing the past fiscal year, MT. lessen said he had been informed by General Manager o. F. Ohlson of that road. This was effected by heavy increases in freight and pas sengsr tariffs and by curtailment of operating and maintenance ex- penses.
 The higher rates are directly re- sponsible of a loss of thousands of dollars every month to the rail- road, he added. In a single month motor trucks operating between Valdez and Fairbanks over Rich ardson Highway are said to have made a gross revenue of $30,000 hauling freight that was formerly handled by the railroad when it's original rates were in effect.
 On trip to the States, just ended, MT. lessen said he found good deal of interest in Alaska, particularly in the gold mining in- dustry. Many inquiries were made about opportunities for mineral de- velopment in the rail belt which was the scene of extensive surveys during the past season by the United States Geological Survey.
 The Seward editor is a member of the "Hole-in-One" Club, and Dr. w. w. Council, President, said he had appointed a special com- mittee composed of Gov. Parks, s. E. Pope, J. E. Barragar and Fred Henning to entertain him during his stay here.
 Will Proceed Slowly
 The evolution of new program of medical relief for Alaska's ab- people will be slow, de- clared Dr. Fellows, in brief talk It will take long while to com plete a personal survey of the field and institute any changes needed. Transportation difficulties to isolated sections handicap the work materially. Don't expect too much too soon," Dr. Fellows warn ed.
 Just why everyone living from the Middle West to the Atlantic Seaboard in the United States do not migrate en masse to the Pa ,ific Coast and Alaska during the not weather months is a mystery to MT. Hawkesworth, who with Mrs. spent several weeks n the East recently. And he is sure if they knew of the cool climate in the West and North 10 one who could afford to make he trip would remain in the East ong.

period of approximately three years
will supplement the efforts now being

Owing to the present wide discrep-

Emil Rudolph, president Of the Chi

II remember the experience of very
close friend of mine back in the panic
Of 1893. He was man who was greatly
interested in the stock market, and
when the crash came he was wiped cut
on the board. Fortunately, he was also
interested in several real estate invest
ments. and he turned to them. He built
up his fortune again through those in
veStmentS. 1t was real estate that saved
him.
Il remember in 1873. when the coun-
try was emerging from panic, the
price of some country property in the
southwest part of what was then the
township Of Jefferson was selling for
500 an acre. 1t had been selling for
$1,000 an acre before that depression.
1t remained at the 500 price for per-
haps 10 years. I knew a man who saw
an opportunity there. He bought 80
acres of this land and held them for
five years. Then he subdivided the
property and made a million dollars
