He further states that if any of the Companies de sire to close any traps tempora- Irily in the season of 1882, other than those which were teinpora- rily closed in 1881, favorable ac- tion would probably be taken thereon. The War Department has advised that it plans to con- tinue the policy of refraining from requesting the surrender of any permit for an Alaskan fish trap thus temporarily closed in 1881.

 The Alaska Territorial Cham Der of Commerce has taken a re- Iferendum among it's chamber members on the proposition of the Government selling the Sig nal Corps System, and the only Chamber favoring sale was that ] of Seward. The Chambers were unanimous on the desire to se- cure 50@o of the annual revenue derived by the Government from the operations of the seal fish cries of the Pribilof Islands. An other referendum on which the Chambers were unanimous is the desire for adequate legislation 1 by Congress to authorize the U. & Army and Navy to establish adeouate aviation stations and landing fields in Alaska, and to maintain one or more squadrons of airships at all times in the Territory so as to be ready to re- spond to call when needed. The result of these referendums was sent to Delegate Wickersham, which coincide with his views ond desires on the respective sr3,iects, on the latter two of which he will introduce bills in Congress.

Boulden, charged with larceny Of
$3.50 in cash and jewelry from
Mrs. Annie Noble Sparks, who
died following an accident on the
Bladensburg Road several weeks
ago, probably will not go on trial,
it was indicated today.
States Attorney Alan Bowie
said he would state the facts to
the grand jury, but that he would
not press for an Indictment, be-
cause of lack of evidence.
Mrs. Sparks died in Sibley Hos
pital after she had been struck by
an automobile near Bladensburg,
but, at the inquest, it was shown
she had left the youths earlier in
the night, and that they were in

Maryland Executive Defends
Capitalistic System; Says
Nation Owes Growth to 1t

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. is
Strong opposition to govern
ment ownership of public utili'
ties was expressed today by Gov
Albert c. Ritchie, Of Maryland,
in an address before the American
Bar Association at a meeting in
Municipal Auditorium. He de
clared:
Periods Of forced unemplOy-
ment such as we are now ex-
periencing, show the CapitaliStic
system at its worst. But, not
withstanding, it has centuries
Of evolutionary growth back Of
1t, and under it we have come
to lead the world in every
form Of progress. / do not be-
lieve in crippling it,"
U. S. Political Ideal
Governor Ritchie asserted that
the political ideal of the United
States always has been to en-
courage private enterprise, to
"beStow upon it the earned re-
wards Of brain and labor and to
keep open the door Of oppor-
tunity." He added:
Here, I believe, is the key
to material success. In spite
of inequalities of wealth and
fortune, innumerable forces
Of ameliOratiOn, of SOcialiZa-
tiOn and of equalization are
at work, along lines which are
sound and germane to our
institutional growth.
Industry now cares for its
injured, it looks to social vel
fare, it arbitrates its own con-
troversies, it sets up its own
trade schools, it strives for
higher rather than lower
wages, it encourages labor to
share in both ownership and
management.
Governments Function
'Tf Government ownership is
so desirable for public utilities,
one might ask, why not apply
it to every business in which
the public has an economic
interest-and in what business
has it nOt-frOm foods, fuels.
clothing, houses, amuSements
and Iuxuries, on down the
Hne?"
'Tt is still true, as Buckle
concluded after a long study
Of the history of civilization,
that the chief province Of
Government is to maintain
order, to prevent the strong
from depressing the weak, to
see to the public. health and to
other Governmental function.
and that the history of eco
nOmic legislation is largely a
history Of mistakes"

such usual controversies as occur
in the bestregrllated busy spots,
were more apparent today, but
in general an attitude of good
humor and patience was mani
fest alike by drivers and police
men.
Traffic Director w. A. Van
Duzer has indicated, however,
that police patience and toler-
ance must not be counted on too
heavily after today.
Violations of the regulations
surrounding the left-hand turn
will be considered as harshly as
passing a red light or other

After today's instruction and
opportunity to become familiar
again with turning left arrests
will be in order.

has had this season and as the wise
cracking modern youngSter of New
