Ladies Like Bright Lights! E Census Figures Proue 1t

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 15.- More women than men have suc- cumbed to the lure of the big city's bright lights in the past ten years.
 The census bureau today pub lished tables showing where males predominated in 43 of the 68 cities of more than 100000 population in 1880, they now hold the lead in only 27 out of 93 such cities.
 Industrial Gary, Ind, took the lead as most masculine city away from Akron, O., but with a far less spectacular sex ratio. Gary has 1191 males to every 100 females. In 1920 Akron had 1899 males to each

Defense in Fo sh ay Case Argues Before Jury
 on New Situation

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. IS. The Government charges that w. B. Foshay and his associates converted losses into profits and deficits into surpluses" by delft jug gling of accounts, are ridiculed by the defense and the attorney pre- sented to the jury picture of the defendants as being conservative business men anxious to protect the investors in their far-flung enterprises.
 Samuel Maslon, defense attorney, described the Governments testi- mony as based. on half truths. He denied the Foshay enterprises were operating with a large deficit for many months prior to the re- ceivership. He said the Foshay ac- counts were revealed in detailed financial statement of the busi- ness and if the defendants felt they had anything to conceal they would have taken steps to change or destroy the records.
 Maslon is to complete the defense plea today and after a final argu- ment by Special Attorney General Horwitz. the case will be ready for the jury,

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Northeast- ern United States is turning witt emphasis to state and local taxa ton to aid the unemployed this winter.
 New York state has appropri- ated $2O,0OO,OOO for relief; specia sessions are imminent in iPennsyl- vania and New Jersey; numerous towns and cities have taken steps toward local taxation, and all are joined in a vigorous collective ef- fort. <
 Comprising New York, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary land. the District of Columbia and New England and with popula- ton of 3O,00O, 000--more than a fourth of the nations total-this section perhaps has the biggest unemployment problem.
 Relief workers stress the effort of each state and its localities to solve the problem without federal aid by community drives and with especial emphasis on heavy ios&, taxation.
 The Governors of Massachusetts Connecticut, Rhode Island and Yer mont have issued statements plead ing for local autonomy and urging taxation. Gov. Norman s. Case of Rhode Island has proposed spe- cial taxes to raise $1 800, 900. Massa- chusetts has concentrated on the local taxation plan
 The New England Council direct ed by H. c. Knight, member of President Hoover's organization. also is urging tax steps and has actively developed collective efforts.
 In Pennsylvania, aside from spe- cial efforts, the overseers of the poor districts have been given un- usual powers to take first lien on current county resources for relief purposes.
 Governor Pinchot plans to ask a $20,000, 900 certificate issue at special session of the legislature. Philadelphia also needs special leg islation to permit borrowing
 Pittsburgh hopes to raise 5,500,- GOO in fund drive, while Phila- delphia will seek upwards of $10,- 00,0OO.

 There are 20 claims in the group in which the company is in- terested and promising gold show :. ings are claimed by MT Wilms to have been uncovered. A crew of six men under Bacon as foreman il now engaged in stripping and pros- pecting the ground, he added.

 The Foreign Office, in the in- structions to the Japanese dele gation, said it is difficult to under stand why America should partici- pate only in the Leagues discus sion in Far Eastern matters and not take part in other discus sions.

 with President

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 15.-- Belief that President Hoover is quietly urging on big business the necessity of readjusting working hours so as to permit a greater volume of employment. was again strengthened, following the an nouncement of w. D. Huntington, chairman of the executive commit tee of the Manufacturing Chemists Association, that the executive had heartily approved the chemical industry's plan for 6-hour day
 Secretary of Labor William N Doak favors five day week-an economic move sponsored by the American Federation of Labor MT. Hoover has made no public utter ance on this subject, but his known views are such as to indicate clear ly that he, too, believes the work ingman's salvation lies in short ened hours.
 There has been some agitation to introduce either the six-hour day or the five-day week for fed eral government employees on the theory the government should set the example. It is possible the Pres ident might make some such re- commendation to Congress at the December session.
 That MT. Hoover wants private business to absorb the idea was manifest from one remark drop ped by Huntington after he visited the White House.

 STEAD OF THREE

Amendments to the Alaska Game Law made by the Act of February fl, 1881, together with recommendations of the Alaska Game Commission for modified tions in the Regulations respect ing game and fur-bearing animals and birds in Alaska, were publish ed on April 2, to become effective July 1, 193l The revised regula- tions were adopted by Secretary Hyde of the Department of Agri- culture on Mar. 2 and will ap- pear in new game and fur circu- lar No. 8. Appended to the new Circular is a large map of AL aska on which has been outlined the boundaries of the eight new fur districts.
 A supply of the new Circular No. will soon be received from the printer for distribution. AS in the past, copies will be mailed to all persons who held licenses for this year, as we'll as to many others whose name appear on the Commissions mailing list. Those who do not receive copy through the mail may secure one from the local Game Commissioner, Game Warden, Licensing Officer, or from the Executive office at Juneau.
 The most extensive change is the division of the Territory into eight fur districts instead of three as heretofore. Open and close sea- sons for the taking of fur bear CTS have been changed slightly to conform to the new districts and follow generally the recom- inendations of persons residing in the districts affected. Until the re- suits of the trapping of beaver and narten during the past win ter are known, the Commission has deemed it advisable to an- nounce a close season on these fur-bearers throughout the Terri tory
 In conformity with an Amend nlent to the Act, provision is made for the recapture of bearing animals that escape from fur farms. To prevent the killing of many mink during the summer, it is now required that Black fish Traps" commonly ill use along the Bering Sea Coast be screened.

 Ann is Bruce's wife"
 "Oh, ho, so Ann is Bruce's wife. And is Ann sister or anything to you?"
 No, neither Bruce nor Ann is related to me, but we all grew up together in the same village and lived with them after they were married"
 Well, well-it strikes me a bit queer that Anns husband should need findin' by anybody. But if Ann has mislaid her man, as some women do, suppose it's natural under the circumstances that you should be the one to find him for her"
 But it was not Ann's fault, |" Pierre shouted, rising to his feet in sudden excitement. And then, be- wildered as he was by those tragic events in Orchard Hill, and appal- led by hts surroundings, Pierre talk ed reckleSsly.
 Bruce is a damned fooll He charged Ann with being in love with with another man = said he had known for a long time He knows it couldn't be truel He made it up as an excuse for de- serting Ann, but he'll never get away with it-never. Not if I live to get to him!"
 Yer friend, Bruce Carey, ap- pears to be resourceful," said Jim mic. But why is he roamin' about this desert wid Colorado Bill?"
 Why, you see, somebody in Red Butte had been trying to persuade Bruce to invest in gold mine, but Bruce didn't have money enough. Then-well-he got some money and disappeared.

In the silence which followed Jimmie Harrigan's recital of the desert tragedy that had accom- panied the discovery of Mother Mountain Lode, the campfire had burned to ashes, half revealing the ruddy glow of underlying coals.
 The desert lay shadowy and mysterious with the distant moun- tains silhouetted against the aft erglow. To the north the round ed breasts of Mother Mountain lift ed into the evening light.

 Orchard Hill, is it! Sure, that name sounds familiar! Oh, ho, SC that's it--the bank robbin' and killin' that I was readin' about when I was in Red Butte-'twas the very day ye arrived? So MT Bruce got hold av some money and disappeared"

 All right" returned Pierre, "I1 tell you: Ann's father, Martin Bev- is, and her husband, Bruce, both worked in that bank. But at the very hour of the robbery, Brucf was in Camden delivering some important papers-so it was i'm possible for him to have had any thing to do with the crime. But Ann's father was at the bank when the crime was committed, anc that made them arrest him.
