BROWNELL OFFERS
 NEW SILVER PLAN

A new plan for improving world trade conditions by in formally stabilizing silver al no fixed ration with gold was made public recently by r. H. Brownell, chairman of the American Smelling and Refin- ing Company.
 Believing that the fall in the price of silver to record low levels has been due, not to overproduction, but to large sales by governments of silver formerly used as money, Mr. Brownell proposes an informal understanding among the Unit ed States, England, (including India) France (including Indo- China), and as many othei governments as possible, tha5 no sales will be made for [ stated period, or until furthea notice, of any silver owned by each government at less than z fixed price-for example 5G cents an ounce.
 Second, an understanding that the governments will pul chase the amount of silver they are now authorized to acquire for subsidiary coinage when ever the market price is unde5 the figure agreed on.
 Third, an agreement that tila governments particularly In dia, may sell government own. ed silver only when the market price is more than the accepted quotation.
 The plan proposed, Mir BroWneIl asserts, a commercial union, formed'much as in time of panic when leading banks and banking houses unite t. protect the security market It will test, he believes, tht theory that eastern trade i materially influenced by the price of silver; 1t will tend tt hold silver steady until presen{ commercial crisis has passed and until the future ability oI gold to- do the money work oi the world has been studied and it will also postpone ol mitigate" gold withdrawals by the East from Europe.

COAST GUARD HOLDS
 LOCAL INVESTIGATION

Complaints of alleged mis- conduct on the part of mem bers of the crew of the Coast Guard cutter Cygan while wis ting at this port during the past two years were investigat- ed this week by the officers of the Coast Guard cutter Talla- posa, which arrived direct from Seattle Tuesday evening for the express purpose of holding an investigation.
 The investigation was the re- suit of complaints made to U. s. Marshal Albert White by his local deputy Donald l. Maj tin. and Chas. r. Sandford United States Commissioner for the precinct, following . recent visit of the Cygan. Dur ing this visit a member of the Cygan crew named Robt. E. McCarthy, after inbibfng lib- orally of Canadian red-eye in Hyder, B. C., invaded the com. missioner's office by smashing in a window without warning, afterward attempting to as- sault the commissioner. Me Carthy also smashed a window in the federal jail following his arrest for drunkenness by Mar shal Martin.
 Testimony offered by wit nesses at the hearing alleged that quite a number of the Cy- gan crew were drunk and act ing in a disorderly manner in Hyder, B. c. during the same visit. Charges of attempted theft of a barrel of beer from the Fraser Hotel in Hyder, 5. C. and of threats to''smoke up" those who ventured to disagree with the disorderly reveler5 were also made at the hear ing, according to witnesses. Several other witnesses also alleged instances of intoXica- ton, window breaking and other forms of disorderly con duet on the part of Cygan men during earlies visits of the ship at this port,
 The hearing was held on board the Tallaposa and test imony was presented by post master Oren r. Hill, Alex Frazer, Edgar Proyinse, Hub ert Thomas, James Jackson, Geo. Divine, Marshal Martin and Commissioner Sandford. Officers and members of the Cygan crew against whom al- legations were laid also ap- ppeared at the hearing, which continued during most of Tues day night and until "Wednesday afternoon.

CHAMBER COMMERCE
 HOLDS SUPPER MEET

itLe1CS GiHHei HIScLl!lB at ltle
 Ideal Cafe Thursday was a
 most successful and interesting
 affair and was attended by
 more than twenty-five mem
 bers of the organization. This number included several prom
 inent business men from Stew art and Hyder, E. C., who late l ly became members of the To-
 cal organization and are dis playing keen interest in it's eff
 forts and activities. The meet
 ing was the first Of the pro l .iected series of monthly din ner meetings to be held in the
 future with the object Of mak-
 ing the monthly sessions more
 attractive by relieving the GUS
 tomary dry business aspects
 and thereby encouraging in
 creasedattendance and interest
 in the Chambers affairs. Pres
 ident |. D. Haddon presided,
 Following an excellent five i course dinner, President Had don announced that 15 hew 
 members had been enrolled
 since the first of the year.
 These included ". c. Blanton.
 K. Doggett, Gus Erickson, r.
 W. Fisher, w. w. Metcalf,
 Ralph Young, H. ". Thomas
 and B. B. Smith, of Hyder;
 Dave Allen, Alex. Frazer and Wn1. E. Reid, of Hyder, B. C., c. L. Hubbard of Seattle; II. P. Gibson and the Bank of Mon- treal, of Stewart, and the Port
 land Canal Power Company of Seattle. Receipts from dues and donations during the month amounted to $229.50. Expenditures during the same
 period totaled 98.70, leaving a surplus of $140.81 in the
 treasury.
 Included among the more important matters upon which action was had was the ap- pointment of committe con sisting of Oren I. Hill, N. II. Travelsy and Edgar Provinse to further investigate the pos sibilities of Q new type of auto mobile fire engine. The cost of this apparatus is low and from the data at hand it appears to offer an economic means for efficient fire protection. The Chamber also decided to secure 9 two-color map cut showing a portion of the pro- posed Pacific-Alaska. Highway and the close proximity of Fly der and Stewart to the pro- ] jected right of way of the great thoroughfare. This is to be printed on the backs of Chamber of Commerce enval- opes to advertise Hyder's claim
 of being the first town in Alas ka that can be reached by 3 short branch road from the
 Highway. The Chamber also voted to permit the use of the
 cut by others who wish the
 map on their stationery.
 President Haddon announced that the Chamber will soon in stall a Suggestion Box" at
 Chamber of Commerce Hall,
 in. which suggestions bearing upon the improvement of local
 industry or conditions, civic
 improvements and other mat ters of public welfare may be placed. Such communications must be signed by the propos-
 CT and when so endorsed will be given all possible consider
 ation by the Chamber.

AIMEE'S MOTHER
GETS REAL SORE
ABOUT COCKTAIL

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3. UP)-M.
Bilgray, who operates "Bilgray's
Tropic Bar and Cabaret" in Colon,
Panama, was inspired by the evil
one" when he named a cocktail in
honor of Aimee Semple Mcpherson,
the evangelist's mother, Mrs. Minnie
Kennedy, said here today.
Postcards, describing the Halle
lujah cocktail" and pronouncing
that it was so titled to commence
rate the visit Mrs. Mcpherson made
to the Canal Zone and assertedly
to Bilgray's, were received here and
led to Mrs. Kennedy's denunciation.
1.-THE idea of that man having the
nerve to name a cocktail for my
daughter and state that she visited
his place." Mrs. Kennedy said. II
don't believe she ever was near his
establishment and If she was it was
nobody's business. It looks to me
like the hand of the evil one.'
Bilgray's postcard said the "Hal-
lelujah cocktail" contained grape
brandy, lemon, ice, vermouth, rum
and sugar.
Mrs. Mcpherson stopped in the
Canal Zone two months ago while
she was travelling to recover from
nervous breakdown. The trip, how
ever, did not nelp the evangelist
much and she still is unable to
carry on her duties at Angelus
Temple.
