FIRE FOLLOWS EXPLOSION AND BURNS CASBOAT
Lloyd Bayers Slightly In jured When Flames
 Destroy Sewanee

Fire, caused by the explosion of gasoline, destroyed the small power boat Sewanee this afternoon at the Lower City Float. and slightly burned Lloyd Bayers. whose igni- ton of a piece of paper aboard the craft was responsible for the blaze The engine of the vessel may be salvaged, but the hull is a total loss. The crafts owners are George iMeSserschmidt, Henry Mesesr- schmidt, and John Hermle Her value is estimated at not to exceed $500. She was not insured.
 To Make Fire In Stove
 As the boat was moored to the Lower City Float this afternoon, Mir Bayers went aboard intending to make a fire in the galley stove. He smelt the odor of gas, and 10 get rid of it left the door open. On deck, he chopped kindling, which he put in the stove. Then getting piece of paper, he lighted it on deck. AS he approached the stove with the flaming paper, the explo- sion occurred. A leak in the gaso- line tank evidently caused the fumes.
 Bayers Is Hurled Backward
 Mir. Bayers was hurled backward. His hands and forehead were slightly burned, and his hair badly singed. He immediately got into skiff and lowed the blazing boat about 100 feet away from the float.
 On the arrival of the Fire De- partment, the Sewanee was re- turned close to shore and the flames were brought under control with water from the Boster Tank. Latc- they were extinguished with the aid of buckets. The Fire De- partment was unable to pump water from the harbor because of the low stage of the tide.
 The Sewanee was 29 feet long, 10 feet wide. Her engine was ten horsepower. She had a trunk cabin and a raised deck. She was old, and was used as pleasure craft.

ALFALFA GOOD DEER FEED AND
 NOT INJURIOUS
C am e Commission Denies Fatalities Caused by
 Feeding It Here

Rumors that alfalfa hay fed to deer was causing some fatalities among the herds were exploded here today by statement issued by H w. Terhune, Executive Off cer of the Alaska Game Com1nis- sion, who characterized the reports as without any foundation and due largely to lack of knowledge of feeding done not only in Alaska but elsewhere.
 Alfalfa has been used for deer feed in the Territory successfully since 1916. and is being used ex- tensively in both Washington State and Idaho with gratifying results, MT. Terhune said A rumor start ed at Sitka in 1925 that alfalfa hay fed at that time caused some deaths, was thoroughly investigated and found to be absolutely without reason
 Used Since 1916 In 1916 and in 1923-24, E. M. Goddard, now Assistant Executive Officer of the Commission, was active in capturing and transport ing deer from Southeast Alaska to western areas, MT. Terhune pointed out During the winter and early spring of both periods it was neces- sary to entirely depend upon di- mestic feed for the deer while they were held in captivity and trans ported.
 Considerable experimenting with domestic foods was carried on to obtain the maximum result in a balanced ration for the animals. It was found that alfalfa hey and rolled oats made the best conbin- ation and kept the deer in the

healthiest condition. Timothy and native hay were also fed but the deer ignored both. In the alfalfa it was found there was consider able waste as the deer did not eat the heavy stalks. Double com pressed alfaEa was later obtained and it was noticed that better feeding results were made as the hay in that form contained more of the finer material which the animals relshed.
 Other Experience Cited
 A MT. Hilts of Craig fed captive deer for three years, using alfalfa exclusively in the winter months Guy Chapin used the same feed for three animals he kept at Karheen
 In 1925, the Game Commission fed considerable quantity of al- falfa. Indians in the Sitka district complained that deer were dying from it, but the investigation of their claims failed to produce any substantiation.. Only in one in- stance was a deer found with hay in it's stomach. This animal had been found previously in a weak ened condition, carried to a feeding point and left. It was later found dead
 During the past several weeks, Idaho authorities have used large quantity of alfalfa hay to feed des- titute deer herds. Washington State game officials have fed alfal- ia hay and the concentrated form alfalfa meal Both report splendid results.

SERVICE SETS LIKELY
INTERFERENCE CAUSE
Army and Navy Channels Gov
cred by Special Order of Presi-
dent, and Not Public.

The Army and the Navy may be re-
sponsibie for much of the unidentified"
interference to broadcaSting reception
experienced by listeners along the coast
every now and then.
This deduction Is arrived at through
the disclosure by the Navy Department,
in public bulletin to its communica-
tfons service, cautioning Navy planes
operating in the broadcast band to avoid
such interference. Heretofore it had
never been divulged that any services.
other than broadcasting stations. were
allowed to operate in the range from
$50 to $500 kilocycles, within conti-
mental United States, which is specifi-
cally reserved under international
agreement for broadcasting.
Inquiries brought out the fact that
there exists confidential executive
order" issued by President Hoover,
covering the use of broadcasting cham
nels by the Army and the Navy. The
exact conditions. however, have never
been made public.
At the Radio Commission Offices it
was said that "spasmodic interference,
which has never been identified, has
been detected by radio inspectors from
time to time and also has been re-
ported by radio stations Most of these
complaints have originated from the
more congested radio broadcasting CEN
ters, like Los Angeles, New York and
Philadelphia. In each Of these locali-
ties the Navy maintains major aviation
bases

DOOM TO RADIO
LOTTERY IS SEEN
Lame Duck Session Expect
ed to Pass Measure as
Others Lose Out.
BY ROBERT MACK.

| The only radio measure that stands a
chance Of becoming law during the
lame duck" session of Congress, in the
is the proposal to prohibit the broad
casting of lotteries or gift entc--.-ic----,
publication of which in newspapers is
prohibited under the postal laws.
| Agitated for the last two years, the
proposed ban is incorporated in the
radio omnibus bill for general revision
of the existing radio law. The measure
passed the House at the last session, but
| In the Senate number of controversial
amendments were proposed, with the
result that the whole measure was
caught in the legislative jam toward the
| end O. the session.
No Real Opposition.
There is no real opposition to the
lottery legislation. Broadcasters have
agreed. through their trade associations,
that lotteries of character that are
barred from the United States mails
should have no place on the air. The
postal regulations prohibit contests in
volving games Of chance, but do not
classify as lotteries those contests in
which skill is the main factor. These
same general principles would be ap-
piled to broadcasting under the pro-
posed amendment.
According to Senator Dill of Wash
ineton, every effort will be made to
enact the anti-lottery proposal. He
said there is little prospect for the
enactment of any of the other 30-odd
radio proposals prior to March 4, when
this session ends Senator Dill Is the
author of the bulk of the radio meas
ures pending in the Senate and likely
will reintroduce them and add others
in the Seventy-third Congress, due to
convene next December, unless called
into special session by Franklin d.
Roosevelt after he assumes the presi-
dency.
Fess Bill Likely Doomed.
Among the radio measures which are
destined to die with the lame duck"
session are the Fess bill, to allocate 10
per cent of all radio channels to edu-
catonal institutions; the Dill bill pro.
yiding for coast-to-coast duplication OF
stations on clear channels, breaking
down the present system OF allocation;
the Hoch bill defining radio as com
mon carrier" open to all corners; the
Amlie bill prohibiting radio advertising
programs on Sundays, and the La
Guardia bill providing for regulation OF
radio advertising rates. Several meas
ures amending the copyright law 10
make it applicable to radio also are
pending.
