Alaska Interests At
 The Nations Capital

On May II the President sent to the Senate the nomination of Hon. Cecil H. Clegg to be. district judge in Alaska for the Third division, to suc- ceed Judge E. Coke Hill, recently ap- pointed anl confirmed as judge of the Fourth division. This is, in reality, an exchange of divisions, as Judge Clegg has presided over the Fourth or Fairbanks division for the past ten years. His nomination has today been referred to subcommittee and con- frmation is expected in few days.
 Dr. E. w. Clark, secretary of the Association of Pacific Fisheries, that is largely operating in Alaska waters, was in Washington May 12 and ap- peared before the House committee on ways and means. He advocated support of H. R. 8688, which seeks to equaize taric duties by compensatiny for depreciation in foreign curren- NAV0s AAc Wdo pa1 IAN0ASA1y A11AC1 CokCO in the competition which the canners of Alaska salmon have to meet in con- nection with the products of Japan, Siberia and Canada. The great con- plaint is that the yen has dropped in value 32 per cent, and the ad valorem duty on fish products from the East s 25 per cent, which leave the fish canners of Alaska and the United States without any actual protection. Dr. Clark stated thaH;Japan is par ticularly dangerous .as "a fish compet- itor because that scoaMtrys has the same kind of raw. ..mateEials and ma chinery, together With.lower costs of production and transportation, than do we in the DmitaR RaStates.

WASHINGTON, May .16-Delegate Wickersham on May II appeared be- fore tho committee on rivers and har- bors and urged the necessity for the construction of a harbor at Kodiak as early as possible. This project has been favorably reported by the Board of Engineers and the Secretary of War, with the stipulation that work would be commenced when cold storage plant was constructed that would provide business for the rarbor. The Delegate set forth at great length the need for the improvement, with the result that the committee went as far as it could in adopting a resoution asking the Board of Engi- neers to review the reports on Kodiak harbor, with view to determining if any modification should be made in that part of the recommendation that requires local cooperation. At the same meeting the committee ap- proved the projects for Wrangell Mar rows, Wrangell harbor, Stikine river and Dry Pass, but it was further stated by the committee that there would be no appropriations for river and harbor bill before the second ses- sion of the present Congress, which convenes on December 5, next.
 A bill has been introduced in the House by the Deegate authorizing the Attorney Genera to convey to the city of Nome all the title of the United States in lot 2, block 50, of the official plat of the city. This lot was formerly used for the first court court house, but long since abandoned, and the city now desires it for street purposes, to which the Department of Justice has no objection.

 ing as a surprise in the midst of a session which has been devoted most ly to ananalysis of the mayors bank accounts, was the first statement from Seabury, tantamount to a de- claration that he will prefer charges against Walker with Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. In a late ses- sion today, at which the committee listened to what was described as 9 cleanup of odds and ends in the in vestigation, Mayor Walkers brother, Dr. William H.
