60 K with u.s." came back word from
the gang.
Talk of placing substantial part of
the ransom demand in escrow in Curtis
hands ended with Lindbergh turning
$50, 900 check over to Curtis. This. sum,
however, never fell into possession of
the gang.
Curtis and Lindbergh went out on
the Atlantic twice last Sunday in an
85-foot auxiliary ketch-rigged yacht,
the Cachalot, hoping to weather the
heavy seas better in that craft than in
the power yacht Maroon they had been
using. The gang with whom they were
dealing gave a long list Of alibis to
explain their failure to go through with
negotiations.
Once they sent message:
BE patient, we were SO close to you
last night We could hear your exhaust" :"
Another message read:
do not lose hope. Hurry up. Baby
Is seriously Ill from seasickness"
Enemy" Ships Main Excuse.
Another failure to keep a contact ap-
pointment was explained by this word:
Couldn't make position during last
three days, account burned out bear
ing"
But the main excuse was the pres
ence of enemy" ships. They talked
repeatedly of hijackers.
They claimed they had the baby
aboard in charge of a shanghaied nurse
They told Curtis the big part of his
job was to get immunity for the nurse
and skipper, who were pictured as be-
ing kept under the constant range Of
the gangs guns.
Curtis said he thought the gang ac-
tually had taken a child aboard the
yacht and planned to turn him over
as the Lindbergh baby on payment Of
the ransom demanded.
Ship Seen With Insignia.
He said the skipper. whose name he
furnished to authorities, had been in
the hands of the gang for three weeks
and that his hair actually had turned
white
White towels flying from the mast
head were designated as the means by
which Curtis was to spot the gangs
craft.
Capt Kenneth Whiting, Navy pilot,
who aided Curtis from the air, claimed
he once sighted ship flying such in
sigma, but heavy seas prevented Curtis
from getting close to it by boat.
The maneuvers Of the gang to get the
5000, 900, which they apparently thought
were nearing success, were halted by the
! discovery OF the child's body.

DEMOCRATS HOPE
FOR ARMY SLASH
Retirement of 1000 Officers
Upheld on Vote-Saving of
$4,000, 900 Sought.

Democratic leaders expressed conf
dence today, as debate was resumed on
the Army appropriation bill, that they
would be able to keep in the measure
savings which reduce the 1896, 6,o0o, 900
supply bill $24,000,000 below budget esti-
mates.
This confidence was strengthened by
their success late yesterday in retain
ing the provision which would save
about 100000 by forcing the retire
ment of 1000 officers No record vote
was taken, but after members swarmed
up the aisle to be counted, the Repub-
licans, who led the fight against reduc-
ing the number of officers from $4,000
to 10000, were told they had lost, 141
to 1876.
Barbour Fights Cut.
Representative Barbour, Republican,
Of California, led the attempt to keep
the Army officers strength intact ana
most of the Republicans followed, al
though a sprinkling of Democrats were
with him

They cited the opposition of Secretary
Hurley and Gen. Macarthur. chief of
staff
Directing the successful effort to keep
the provision In, Representative Collins
of Mississippi, chairman of the Appro-
priations Subcommittee, replied that
the slash was actually an aid to Army
efficiency.
Cites Hoover Views.
Among the Republicans who sided
with them, Representative Wood of In
diana, who visited the White House
earlier in the day, said President
Hoover authorized me to say to this
House that he expected and hoped and
desired that this bill, when it leaves
this House, will carry the reduction of
$24, 100000 that Is proposed by the
committee"
Representative Beedy. Republican. of
Maine, later said that while the Presi-
dent favored a reduction in the meas
ure, he thought that the War Depart
ment should say where cuts should -be
made, so that efficiency of the service
would not be impaired.

abraham Lincoln Said

Money IS only pa7uab1e wh1e IN circulation
1t is as true now as it was in his day. With
holding money from circulation makes for
unemployment and all the evils which are
bound to flow from it. This does not mean
that one should practice thrift But thrift
and stinginess are not Synonymous.
To be thrifty often means to spend wisely
Dollars spent today buy more than they have
been able to do in long time. Furthermore
every dollar spent today means helping some
one who walks the street in vain search of
work.
The dollars put in circulation provide
necessities for the spender and help relieve
the unemployment situation and bring about
the prosperity we all need if we are to be
of our own jobs.

AMENDMENTS ID ALASKA CAME AND
 FUR REGULATIONS

Changes in game and fur regu- lations to become effective July 1, 1882, have been published in the Alaska Game Commissions new Circular No. g. The new regula- tions were approved by Secretary Hyde of the Department of Agri- culture on March 19 and publish ed on April 2, 90 days before they become effective as provided under the requirements of the Alaska Game Law
 A supply of the new Circular No. g will soon be received from the printer for distribution.
 Game Refugees
 Owing to hunting that resulted in the wounding of several buffaloes near McCarty late last fall, the residents of that vicinity petition ed for closed area adjacent to the Richardson Highway through the region where these animals range. Such an area consisting of one mile on the east side and most of the land between the Highway and the Delta River on the west side has been closed to all hunting.
 A refuge has been created on the northwestern portion of the Kenai Peninsula consisting of the area lying north of Skilak Lake and Kenai River and west of the Chi ckaloon River and National Forest Boundary. The trapping rights of the people living in the area are not affected.
 Authorized under the provisions of an Executive Order of 1892, a closed season for the large brown bears on Afognak Island has been eSta tabliShed.
 Fur-Bearers
 In addition to several minor changes in open seasons for the taking of muskrats and the addi- tion of short period to the open season on fox, lynx, mink, land otter and weasel, Fur District 2, which includes the drainages to Prince William Sound and Cook Inlet, an open beaver season is an- nounced for 1883 in all fur districts except District 1, Southeastern AL aska; District 3, Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak, and District 8, Arctic drainage.

RICHARDSON ROAD, ALASKA RAILROAD
 BATTLE STARTED
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One)
 Judging from your letter, in fer that you would just as soon not see any business, tourist or otherwise, go over the highway. think it is generally conceded that the Keystone Canyon, the Richard son Highway and the Copper River & Northwestern are the three most scenic trips in all Alaska, except ing only, of course, Mt. Mckinley Park. Further, for your informa- tion, in regard to the few tons of possible freight with two small trucks, I cannot see what differ ence that would make with the Alaska Railroad, inaSmuch as the Piggly Wiggly company had alrea- dy decided not to use the Alaska Railroad for perishable freight.
 "As you know, last year we did not go into competition with the Alas ka Railroad or the Valdez freight CTS for the reason that we were in hope that the Alaska Railroad would see fit to reduce it's passen- gen and freight rates. If this had been done, it would not have been necessary for the Richardson High way Transportation company to enter into the Valdez freight or passenger business. The Fair banks people are now advertising SIS fare from Valdez to Fairbanks, or vice versa. Of course our com pany cannot compete with such rates. We are charging $35, which fact will mean that we will prob ably not get much, if any of their business. Furthermore, my per- sonal investment amounts to ap- proximately $2OOOOO, which I in tend to fully protect to the best of
Seward daily gateway., 1932-04-25

my ability. So, if your instruc- tions to your Chicago office in re- gard to the sale of Golden Belt Line tour tickets stands, it will be necessary for us to go much fur ther in order to get business enough to protect our investment.
 However, no matter what your personal attitude may be, we do not intend to ignore the Alaska Railroad. We shall still advertise the complete Golden Belt tour and shall still include the Alaska Rail- road in that advertising. Our ob- ject is to get as many tourists as possible. In fact, think it is our duty to continue to boost the Alas ka Railroad since it is owned by the people, and the people are stockholders and taxpayers, and should be treated as such. It is quite different with the Richard son Highway Transportation com pany. It is privately owned and 85 per cent of the stock is my own. Neither the Alaska Steamship company, nor the Alaska Railroad, nor any other transportation com pany has any interest in the Rich ardson Highway Transportation company. This fact should make my attitude clear.
 T sincerely hope that you will receive this letter in the spirit in which it is written.
 "Very truly yours, IS. o. FRIEDMAN"

 Bag Limits Changed
 In the Kenai Peninsula, the non- resident bag limit of mountain sheep is reduced from two to one ram per hunter, under the provi- sions of Regulation II. The bag limit of two rams for a resident remains as heretofore

Regulation B has been amended to require tn t applicants for guide licenses have five years resi- dence in the Territory instead of one year as heretofore required.
 Recommendations
 In transmitting the new Circular No. g, the Commission invites in- terested persons to write the Exc cutive Office any constructive crit iciSm or recommendations they may have. It is not always possible to write personal acknowledg- ment of every letter received, but each individual who writes is aS- sured that his letter will receive the attention of the Commission at it's next meeting.

NEW YORK, January l5.-A day Of
sensational testimony and sometimes
bitter argument before the Hofstadter
Legislative Committee, was climaXed
yesterday when bank transcripts were
read into the record showing that
former Sheriff Charles w. Culkin de-
posted $2,073, 383.18 gross, in five &C
counts from 1925 through 1881.
Before this happened however, there
were two other major developments.
State Senator John A Hastings was
cited for contempt by a strictly party
vote, but he countered Immediately
with an appellate division order stay
ing the effect of the resolution until
today when an appeal will be heard by
the full bench.
The Democratic minority, protesting
against an attack on Culkin by Counsel
Samuel Seabury, in which the latter
characterized Culkins' act as embezzle-
ment and grand larceny, claimed that
every sheriff for IS years had followed
the practice of using interest on
ntigants' money as their own.
"Sheriffs of New York County for

quarter of a century" said Senator
John J. McNaboe, Democrat, have re-
tanned interest on funds in their custody
and claimed it as a right. One OF them
was elected four times as Governor OF
this State, selected as the presidential
candidate of a great party and received
the largest popular vote ever given a
Democrat
rs he, because he followed custom,
to be accused of embezzlement."
Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith was the
one referred to by McNaboe. He was
sheriff from 1915 to 1917 and
McNaboe later mentioned him by name
Seabury said he doubted the his
torical accuracy" of McNaboe's assertion
and others pointed out in addition that
when Smith was sheriff the ONCE was
on fee basis. -
Regarding Culkin, Seabury said: III
the district attorney wants to, he could
indict Culkin today and place him on
trial"
Refuses to Sign Waiver.
Culkin's bank accounts we're put into
the record after he was called as wit
ness. He was not questioned because
he refused to sign waiver Of immunity
except for his official acts in his present
position as chief of the Pension Bureau
Seabury rejected his offer, saying he
was unwilling that ANY act Of mine
should give him immunity
Seabury refused to allow any exam
ination of Culkin, asserting that the
witness would claim an immunity bath
if a single question is asked"
The transcripts of Culkin's bank &C
counts showed the following deposits
since 1925: Cash, $122785.82 salary
checks. S54,26l; other checks, $1,545,-
O34.57: unclaSsified deposits, slips miss

Offers Safety Suggestions.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, January 15.-An American
Road Builders Association committee
has reached the conclusion that the
motoring public has no intention of
slowing down and that 1t is up to high
way engineers to build foolproof roads.
The committee, headed by M o. Ed
ridge, District of Columbia assistant di-
rector of traffic, reported to the con-
vention Wednesday that cutting down
hills, rounding out curves and widening
of highways only tempt the Unsuitable
thirst of the individual for increased
mobility"
But those expedients. plus lighter
colored pavements to minimize the haz-
ards of night driving, utilization of
materials that will not become slippery
in wet weather and raised parkways on
multi-lane highways to reduce collision
and headlight glare menaces. were about
all the committee had to offer in sug-
gestionS.
1t urged close study of design. how
ever. to seek further safety factors and
creation of research group to stand
