Violet Ray User Destroys
 Pleasure of Many Persons

Radio fans in Hyder and Stewart are complaining in no uncertain terms at the action of some inconsiderate person, presumably in Hyder, in turn ing on a violet ray machine or some similar electrical device, during the quarter hour in which the Richfield news flash es are being broadcasted over the radio. The roaring of the device effectually prevents the hearing of more than frag- mentary snatches of the most comprehensive news report that reaches the district. AS a result the offending ray user is in distinctly bad odor with the radio fans, who feel that he or she could forego using the ray machine until the news report is over, usually by 10:15 p. m.
 While some contend that the turning on of the machine just at that time suggests a pre- meditated and deliberate att tempt to destroy the news bull letin, in which most of the To- cal population finds keen inter est, it is possible that the of fender does not realize that the action results in many of our citizens losing one of the chief pleasures of their day and that a delay of fifteen min- utes or so in turning on the ray will be gratefully appreciated.

PREMIER MINER IS
 ACCIDENT VICTIM

Mike Gerucivich, a member of the Premier mine crew, met death Christmas eve as result of a somewhat mysterious acci- dent occurring in the mine. about seven of eight o'clock, the ex- act time being unknown.
 Death was apparently due to an explosion followed by a fall down an adjacent mine shaft.
 Gerucivich, who was em- ployed as a bull-dozer, was working alone in the drift at the time and appears to have been hurled down the shaft by the force of an explosion in the drift or fell in some manner. Timbers from the drift found near his body at the foot of the shaft indicate tha this fall was due to explosion. When found at the foot of the 50 or 60 foot shaft around midnight, it was judged that the accident had occurred several hours earlier, but whether the man survived the fall for a time could not be decisively determined. His head was found to be badly battered, one arm was broken and one of his lower limbs was severely torn and bruised.
 Gerucivich had been in the employ of the company for some years and was highly re- garded by his associates. He was of Slavonic origin and is said to have relatives in the old country.
 The remains were taken to Prince Rupert for interment.

MT. Saw yer said it has been suggested that the American and Canad- ian members of the information al committee meet in the near future to consider additional data which has been assembled on the project, intimating fur ther that the next meeting is expected to cover the econom- ics of the problem, based on various expert estimates of the expected travel.

Aside from some damage to the cargo boom the vessel was uninjured and was floated on the succeeding high tide about 80 the same morning.
 The accident is said to have been caused by the pilot mis- taking in the darkness light on shore for the dock light.

Complete elimination by the House Committee on Approp- riations of the S60,000 appro- priation recommended by the Budget for Geological Survey work in Alaska is announced in reports from Washington, D. c.
 Unless the item is restored by the Senate, the action of the House committee will bring to a complete stop the highly inn portant Investigations of min eral resources heretofore car ried on by the Geological Sur vey under the direction of Phillip s. Smith, which include the compilation of mineral sta tistics, topographic mapping and other scientific work of great value and importance to the Territory. It will also have the effect of discontinuing the mine inspection service in the Territory.

NON RESIDENT TROLLER
 TAX DECLARED INVALID

Confirming incomplete radio reports received here some days ago, late Alaska ex- changes report that the Alaska nonresident troll fishermen's license tax of $250 imposed by the 1929 Alaska Legislature, has been declared invalid by the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco. The court also permanently enjoined Territor- ial Treasurer w. G. Smith from collecting the tax.
 The appellate court held that the legislative act violates the federal fishery law known as the White Bill, giving all citi- zens of the United States the right to fish in Alaskan wat CTS under certain regulations, and also held that the power of the Territorial legislature to levy taxes is so limited that it cannot nullify an act of Congress.

be the basic factors is being offered to financiers by Frank O'Hearn, of Toronto, former vice-president of the Standard Stock Exchange of that city.
 The first object of his plan would be to arrive at a com modity valuation so stabilized that it would be a standard to which other commodities and services would be a permanent relative valuation. The second would be to elaborate the gold monetary system to fill the re- quirements of modern business and the needs of the people.
 This would require two pri- mary requisites: 1, a fixed monetary valuation between tween wheat and silver, and, 2, a flexible monetary valuation between the new silver-wheat standard and gold. He suggests that inasmuch as one ounce of silver and one bushel of wheat are now valued approximately at the same price, the future standard value for all commod- ities and services be on the bas- is of one ounce of silver equal ing one bushel of wheat.
 In addition to announcing his intention to press for action on his bill calling for the remone- tization of silver at Is to 1, Senator Wheeler of Montana has lately performed heroic service for the silver cause by educating the public regard ing the silver issue through radio broadcasts and magazine articles.

Albert J. Mayer Victim
 Of Painful Accident

Albert J. Mayer became the victim of a painful accident Wednesday afternoon when the little finger of his right hand came into contact with a circular saw in his saWmill plant on upper Texas Creek and was virtually denuded of flesh from a point below the middle joint to the first joint. Only the main tendon was left, the remainder of the fleshy in- tegument b n g entirely stripped from the bone. MT. Mayer explains the failure of the saw to sever the finger as probably due to the member having been caught in the round openings below the teeth instead of encountering the teeth themselves. The lac erated finger was dressed by Dr. Vosburgh.

LATE DEVELOPMENTS TN
 THE SILVER MOVEMENT

John A. Simpson, president of the Farmers National Union, in a recent statement, advocat- ed the remonetization of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, declar- ing that the farmers desire re- monetization to open up three fourths of the worlds markets which are now closed to them by reason of our high-priced dollar. Simpson also declared that Congress should reappro- priate to itself the constitution al authority to regulate the value of money and not dele gate this power to the bat.k1.
 We are for government cur rency, as opposed to bankers currency he said.
 Action for his bill for the pur- chase of five million ounces of silver monthly by the govern ment until July l, 1888, will be sought during the present short session of Congress by Senator Key Pittman, who declared in recent statement that he will request at the proper time a vote on his measure, which pro- vides for the issuance of silver certificates against purchased silver bullion and silver cons struck off to redeem the cur rency. Pittman said the whole world has it's eyes on the Unit ed States on the silver question. Resolutions favoring an inter national conference on silver and Independent action by the i United States in the event Cf q failure t oagree on any measure to improve silver status were passed at the conference of Western governors held in Salt Lake early this month.
 A plan for the state legislat- ure to ''remonetize silver" in Idaho is advocated by J. w. Holden, candidate for United States senator, who points out that section 10 of article 1 of the Constitution grants to the several states the right to make ''gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts" WKh the passage and approval of a law making gold and silver coin a tender in Idaho, he con- tends that a suit could then be brought to determine the con. stitutionality, not only of the law itself, but also to determine whether the demonetization of silver by congress was a violat- ion of states rights and there fore unconstitutional.
 1 If the action of congress were declared in violation of the rights of the states and uncon- stitutional, we would automat. ically return to a "state or con- dition of remonetization, in eff, feet" he says.

ROOSEVELT MEN
STAKE HOPE ON
. FIRST BALLOT

CHICAGO, June "a QN.SO.
Fearing that the Al Smlth.tavor-
ite sons combination in the Demo
cratic national convention may
prove able to prevent Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt from ever attain
ing the required tWo-thirdS vote,
the more radical managers Of the
Roosevelt camp decided today to
make a drive to abolish the
ancient rule at once and nominate
the governor on the first ballot by
q majority vote.
James A. Farley, Roosevelt's
campaign manager, said the
Roosevelt forces had no intention
of holding the abrogation Of the
two-third rule in allegiance as a
threat in the event the New York
governor was not nominated in
the early balloting.
Farley said Governor Roosevelt
personally had nothing to do with
the decision of the Roosevelt
forces to move for abolition of the
rule.
Even Friends Dubious
The Roosevelt forces almost
have reached the point where
they are willing to admit Roose-
welt cannot be nominated except
by a majority vote.
They insist, however, that their
decision to battle for abrogation
Of the two-third rule is not due
entirely to their fear that Roose-
velt cannot be nominated except
by a majority, but rather that
the rule should be changed to
guard against a repetition of
1924 and the "wrecking of the
party"
Decision to fight for abroga-
ton of the twothirds rule was
reached early today at a con-
ference of Roosevelt supporters
from virtually every State.
Walsh for Chairman
McAdoo, who is leading the
fight for the nomination of
Speaker John N. Garner, and
former Governor Smith both
have declared within the last "a
hours that they would fight to
the last ditch against abolition
Of the two-thirds rule.

that Senator Burton K. Wheeler
of Montana has been named
