PROPOSED SALE OF ALASKA

Among the suggestions now under consideration by the Department of Interior is whereby permission would be given to private capital to purchase in AL aska from a few to 25,0O0 acres.
 The plan copied from that of Canada, which 30 years ago thus alenaed large sections of the Canadian West at price ranging from 25c to 5Oc per 
 Aside from cattle ranchng this land lay idle until about 19O9 when the land began to boom which resulted in the settlement of the provinces of Manitoba, Saskat chewan and Alberta.
 Despite the fact that there large area open to komesteadng and which made possible the settlement of the praires, there still immense landed estates, sttutng what in Europe would be prncpalty, and held by absentee landlords.
 During the year of 1918 it necessary, in order to provide large for colonization by the Alberta gov eent purchase portions of these immense tracts prices running from S2O to S25 per acre
 The effect of such proposal as that to allow sim liar condition to prevail in Alaska would be equal to withdrawal of agricultural and mineral lands equal to the conservation rules now in effect whereby everything farm land and mineral bearing ground is tied up in 8 sort of haphazard socialistic idea.
 One of the notable features respecting this proposal to dole out the Territory big interests the fact that effort has been made to sound Aaskans op inions from those most vitaly affected
 Which further emphasizes the fact that in dealing with Alaska, Washington does not consider the opinion of subjeccitizens ge1man to the issue worthy of sderaton
 The proposal to sell the Territory in large slices will meet with determined opposition Alaska asks only the privileges accorded the settlers of all frontiers of Amer ca including those of Mexico and Canada as they obtain them today
 It free land and free resources which permitted Canada to emerge within 10 years of the strong est little nations the North American continent and be- the refuge of millions of American citizens denied the privileges offered them in an alien land.
 The history of this hegra from the United States is we'll known to the average person. but apparently fail ed to impress those who launched the Alaskan experiment and have seen it to utter failure.
 The correct way to solve the Alaska problem is to throw the country wide open to capital and settlement by lifting the conservation blight In the process the ques ton of federal expenditures and the ultimate develop ment of the country will be answered.

Z DEPOS|TO ORS
CHALLENGED
BY COUNSEL
Evidence $500 Was Accepted
After Insolvency Is
Challenged

CUMBERLAND, Md, May
2S.-Trial of State Senator
Emory Il. Coblentz, president
of the defunct Central Trust
Company of Frederick, grow
ing out of the closing of the
bank and its subsidiaries, was
temporarily halted in Allie
gany county court today while
counsel for both sides argued
the admissibility Of testimony
given by two witnesses.
The testimony involved was
given by Isaac H. Taylor, presi-
dent of I. H. Taylor, Inc, of Eli
colt City, and an employe, Miss
Hilda Shipley.
Taylor testified that the after
noon the Central Trust Company
closed its doors he deposited
S316.50. Miss Shipley testified
she made the deposit but did not
give it to Coblentz or see him.
Argue mot Personal"
Attorneys for Coblentz argued
that the acceptance of the de-
posit was neither personal nor
official" on the part of Coblentz
and should be excluded.
The testimony of these two is
considered important by the
State in support of the charge
that Coblentz accepted the de-
posit although knowing the bank
was inSolvent.
States Attorney James Clark
in his opening statement re-
viewed the history of the bank
since Coblentz became president
and said the State would show
that Coblentz and his directors
had been refused an extension
of credit in Baltimore in July,
1881 and that the capital stock
of the bank was increased and
Syndicated, sold in Baltimore
and then resold to subsidiary
of the Central Trust Company.
Ignorant of Straits"
Attorney George Brady, of
Baltimore, for the defense, told
the court that the bank closed
it's doors before Coblentz knew
it was inSolvent.
Investigation into the bonds
and other securities held by the
Frederick bank before it and its
IL branches went into receiver
ship last September, will take up
much of the trial time. The main
outstanding loans also will be
aired.
George w. Page. State Bank
Commissioner, indicted with Cob
lentz on a conspiracy charge. will
not be called as prosecution
witness.
The specific charge being
pressed against CoblentZ in this
trial is that he accepted certain
deposit of over $500, knowing the
bank to be insolvent.

s. SCORE POINT
IN RETRACT|NG
CONFESSION
Accused of Trying to Rob
Man and Woman in
Parked Automobile

Judge Robert B. Peter in
the Circuit Court at Rockville
yesterday granted permission
to attorneys for Charles Crlst,
Stanley Selby, and James M.
Brown, of Washington, to file
a brief asking that the alleged
confessions of the three men
who were indicted by the
March grand jury be excluded.
The point raised was whether
evidence as to the commission
of crime was sufficient to justify
the admission of confessions.
Crist, according to the confes-
Sions made to Chief Of Police
Alvie A. Moxley, and Sergt. Roy
Bodmer, of the Montgomery
county police. was shot February
II while he and two companions
we're trying to rob a man and a
woman whom they had forced to
get out of a parked automobile
on the Conduit Road.
The women is said to have
fired at Crist after apparently
obeying their commands. When
the wounded man was brought
to the attention of the police, his
companions said the phantom
sniper," who was attracting the
attention of Washington and sub
urbs at that time, had shot their
friend, who had stopped his car
to ask for some gasoline.

NEW PLAN HITS
SCHOOL YARDS

A Tightening of regulations over
the municipal playground depart
ment, which would relegate au-
thority of public school play
grounds directly to the commu-
nifty center department, was con-
sidered today by a committee OF
the Board of Education.
The plan, as submitted by Mrs.
E. K. Peoples, director Of the
community center department,
will be further considered by the
committee and presented to the
board for action at its next meet
ing.
The new set of regulations,
directed at the present unauthor-
lied use of school Fairgrounds
during the summer months,
would make it essential for Miss
Sibyl Baker, head of the play
ground department, to apply
directly to Mrs. Peoples for per
mission to use the Fairgrounds
and also the school buildings.

listed today in the Business Service
Directory published in the Classified

bill, Senator Bingham (R0 of
Connecticut, chairman of the Ap-

take vote upon the proposal to
call Lord back from Detroit.
He hopes to assemble his sub
committee before the end of the
