CURLEY SCORES
| MIXED UNIONS

Marriages between Catholics
and non-C Catholics we're denounced
last night by Archbishop Michael
j, Curley, of Baltimore, before
the Curley Club of washington in
the Willard Hotel.
The Archbishop said it is rarely
that marriages of this type are
successful. He declared that young
couples enter into union Of this
sort with their eyes closed" !"
Later, when they settle down to
married life "the shoe begins to
pinch"
The archbishop advised mem
herS of the Catholic young peo-
pies group which was named after
him, to enter into marriage with
those whose religion was in accord
with their own. He added that in
ter-religiouS marriages have been
the source of great losses in mem
bership to the church.
John L. Donnelly president OF
the club, presented the archbishop
with funds raised to forward
Catholic education. Addresses
were delivered by Miss Mary L.
MCGEE, founder of the club, the
Rev. Francis j. Hurney, the Rev.
Francis x. Cavanagh, and the
Rev. j. Edward Malloy.

HISTORIC TREES
ORDERED OUT

One Of the beauty spots of
Washington is doomed to destruc-
ton, 1t was. learned following an
order by DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, su.
perintendent Of Gallinger Hospf
tai, for the destruction of more
than a score Of huge maple trees
on the hospital property.
The trees were planted during
the latter part Of the Civil War by
the United States Navy Depart
ment. They were set in two rows,
two abreast, from Eastern Branch
to the end Of the hospital proper.
Before the site was taken over by
the hospital the spot was a favo-
rite rendezvous for picnic parties
and similar outings.
The reason for the destruction
of the trees is not clear, since no
building Is planned for the spot
and the order is merely to clear
the lot" Prisoners from the Dis
trict Jail are cutting the trees.

Saving A!askans
 From Ducks

Ketchikan business interests propose sending a protest to President Hoover relative to his recent order prohibiting the kill ing of migratory birds after 30 days of open season.
 It is pointed out that ducks do not reach Southeastern Alaska until October, altho the presi- dential proclamation limits the season to the month of Septem- Der. Some point out that many residents depend on migratory birds for part of their food supply.
 Still others declare that they will get the ducks and geese when they need them. That's that.
 The American people are law abiding. There is no reason why some regulations should be pro lnulgated that will not be re- spected.

Pure Food Law
 Protects Animals

Uncle Sam's Pure Food and Drug Act applies to cats, dogs and other pets as we'll as to hu- mans, according to Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer, Seattle, in a formal written opinion. The case arose over seizure of 620 cases of canned tuna fish labeled Tuna for Pets, Not Intended for Human Consumption"
 The government seized the shipment under the Pure Food Act because one third of the cas- es contained decomposed fish. The shippers protested seizure on the grounds that the Act did not apply except insofar as the canned goods were intended for human consumption. The court sustained Assistant U. s. Attor- nev Sherwood. The 620 cases will be destroyed.

Secret of HaIibut
 Spawn Reuealed

Discovery of the missing links in the life history of the halibut the whereabouts of the egg anc larvae stages, stood revealed re- gently by John P. Babcock, chail man of the International Fish cries Commission.
 The findings came out of two years work on the North Pacific by the staff of the motor vessel Dorothy, in charge of Richard Van Cleve, a scientist, in three months cruising this summer The vessel covered more than 10000 miles making observa- tions.
 Tt has been considered that the halibut is 8 deep-sea spawn er," Babson explained, passing it's early life over great depths. 7
 An extensive study of an area west of the Gulf of Alaska was made by the Dorothy between May and August.
 "The mystery surrounding the whereabouts of the eggs, larvae and early transparent stages oi the haIibut before it is large enough to take the hook" MT l Babcock said, "has at last beer solved by the scientific staff or the Dorothy.
 "They were found this sum- rer on the banks off the SOUL end of Kodiak to WoSnessenski beyond the Shumagins. Thi; carly life history has up to now been unknown, with the early stages, up to this summer never recognized.
 "As a result of this seasons operations, the halibut comrnis. sion has a complete series show ing the early life history of thi fish. The missing links have
 been found"
 The larvae were found wei
 of-shore, but great number
 were taken within fifty miles O
 shore and inside the edge of th'
 banks, he said.

No Help VIII Be
 Given FiIipinos

Proposed enactmentS by the Philippine Legislature to relieve the economic plight of Filipino laborers on the Pacific Coast of the United States were thrown out by the legislative leaders.
 Leaders held that neither an investigation commission nor a labor commissioner could rectify the situation and any legislation would be useless.
 A Filipino sub-contractOr in the P. A. F. cannery here, made statement that the average summers earnings of Filipino cannery workers was $80. It was thought, two years ago, that this system of peon labor had reach ed it's lowest level but judging from the statement of this sub- contractor, in a few years the Filipino workers in Alaska will be paying the canners a premi- um for the privilege of working

MOtorship Boxer
 Racing Elements

At Point Lay on the Arctit Coast, the schooner Boxer of the US. Indian Bureau was dis charging cargo in feverish haste and expected to leave for Point Barrow immediately.
 The Arctic season of naviga- ton is growing late and officers of the Boxer hoped to get to Pt. Barrow before the wind changed and the ice foes come in from the north, locking the little port until next spring. It is a race with wind, weather and the Arc tic ice.
 The Boxer will be the last of the Arctic fleet to reach Barrow. The United States Coast Guard cutter Northland, the Seattle schooner c. s. Holmes, the pow e. schooner Patterson from San Francisco and the steamer Bay chino from Vancouver, B. C.. arrived off the village short time ago, taking advantage of a lead in the ice.

Indian Fails As
 Freight Hopper

William James, Alaska Indian might know how to hop on and off boats but as a weary willie, hopping freights, he was a dis
 nal failure in Seattle.
 He went to Seattle with his wallet holding a few beans but skylarking about the king S highway, his funds soon ran to a low ebb. He found no job and pretty soon a cop said to him. Been watching you. I don't like your looks. Get out of town or I'll run you in. Hop a freight kid"
 James had been given a float CT but didn't know it. But, I don't know how to hop a freight he protested. i've never seen a train in my life"
 That's all right" replied the cop, you'll learn. If catch you again"
 James went to the railroad yards and hopped a train. The next morning a watchman found him, groaning in agony beside the tracks. He had fallen be- meath the wheels of a train in trying to catch it. He was talk en to the City Hospital and may lose his left arm.

Columbia Fishmen
 In the Money

The 1881 summer season salm- 1 on pack for the Columbia River
 totaled approximately 330,00t full cases, an estimate compiled indicated. The mild cure output totaled 1429 tierces, and the frozen fish output totaled 5,225 boxes of 200 pounds each.
 The total wholesale value of the pack is estimated at S5,200,- 900 with 25,8O0,O00 pounds ot raw fish consumed.
 Fishermen were paid approXi- mately $1,9OO,0OO for their sea- sons work, the estimate compll- ed by the Evening Astorian-Bud get.
 The total pack was about 1 per cent less than the 1880 pack, but the pack last year included a high percentage of troll caught salmon from outside the river which was absent this sea- son. This years pack of river caught fish is actually around 20 per cent higher than last years.
 Gillnetters caught a greater percentage of the total this sea son than for several seasons past and still their earnings were greater despite prices that 25 to 50 per cent lower,
 It is estimated that 4,000 fish are engaged in their oc- on the Columbia Riv CT. The average earnings far the average earnings Of fisheries which puts up four million cases as against three hundred thousand On the Columbia River.

Maroon, 1rapnaan
 On Lone Island

Every once in awhile pops ur stories Of the inhumanity of two-bit managers of f1y-by night Canneries in Alaska; at other times, stories are told of the lack of sympathetic contact of the older cannery managers. Not all, by any means, but enough to keep awake fires of dissatis- faction. And then the dumb, blind operators wonder why the people of the North fight them.
 Listen to this story published recently in a Seattle paper:
 Man Says He Was Marooned
