Smelly Laws:
 Dummy Officials


 were sentenced to six months in jail by the honorable commiS- sioner-and then their sentence suspended. The arresting officer was the captain of the Bureau of Fisheries ship "Auklet." We'll done, thou good and faithful servant. Hooey!
 Last year this same faithful servant made many trips up and down the coast. He passed many a trap that was being brailed on a Sunday morning or perhaps any time after six o'clock Satur- day evening and before six o. clock Monday morning. Did he stop and arrest the brailers and order conf1scated the traps so being brailed. Not such a faithful servant, after all. Perhaps these men are receiving a bit of mo- Eey to shut their eyes to such illegal acts-perhaps this gum my coin sticks even up to the palms of Henry O'Malley, United States Commissioner of Fisheries.
 The Law in the Case
 Section 5 of the fisheries laws is specific and the honorable commissioner of fisheries is well aware of the prohibitions and in hibitions of the law The fact that he shuts his eyes to proper enforcement lays him open to the charge that he is receiving money from the canning inter ests to blind him in his enforce ment of the law.
 The law says: Tt shall be un- lawful to fish for, take, or kill any salmon of any species in any manner or by any means except by hand rod, spear, or gaff for personal use and not for sale or barter in any of the waters of Alaska over which the United States has jurisdiction from six o'clock postmeridian of Saturday of each week until six o'clock antemeridian of the Monday fol- lowing, or during such further closed time as may be declared by authority now or hereafter conferred, but such authority shall not be exercised to prohibit the taking of fish for local food requirements or for use as dog feed"
 Any salmon taken from a fish trap during any closed period by any canner is in violation of law: He takes it in some manner; he fishes for it, ir some manner; he kills it not with hand rod, spear Or gaff and it is for sale or barter and not for personal use These honorable men who travel up and down the coast under salary from the government-men who see the petty violations-the petty larceny fishing of men who would prevent families fro m starving but who are blind to grand larceny should be taken out and strung up in a manner and by men who know how to string such crooks up. It is com ing to the point when Alaskans will take the law into their own hands s-when it will become dangerous for the bureau of fisheries officials to travel up and down the coast in their dis criminative efforts. This is the worst year in many and the patience of good citizens has come to the breaking point. They will not be stopped and it will then be too late to be sorry.
 This is not a threat nor is it a promise. It is a solemn warning. The people of the North will be tried but just so far-and that it is getting close to the limit is not being denied. When the fish, ermen quit making threats and become OminOuSlv silent if ;s

U.S.. HasBOnds
To Couer All
War Debts

= The $11,00O,O00,000 of war
debts owed the United States
represent something more than
a treaty obligation to pay.
There are actually on deposit
in the United States Treasury
gold bonds Of the foreign debt
ors. redeemable at various
dates in the progress of the
funding agreements.
Under the law these bonds
can be sold only at par, being
offered first to the debtor that
issued them.
In the case of a defaulting
nation, they become, in effect,
virtually worthless, as no priv
ate investor would likely buy
a bond at par which it's sponsor
had repudiated.
They might be thrown on the
market for what they would
bring, probably little, but such
action might be a terrific de-
pressant of the defaulting coun-
try's currency and commercial

PRISONER HELD
FOR ACTION Of
GRAND JURY
Red-Headed Woman on Stand
Admits She Was Known
As Suspects Wife

Joseph Thomas Barry boaSteo
last Friday night that he had
fixed that boy" it was testified
today at an inquest into the
death Of Israel Seigel, 28-year-old
grocery clerk, which resulted in
Barry being held for the Grand
Jury.
Barry did not take the stand,
and the chief witness was red.
haired Ruth Marie Goebel, over
whom Barry and Seigel is alleged
to have quarreled.
Known AS Mrs. Barry
Mrs. Goebel admitted she had
lived in the same house with
Barry in the 1900 block of Massa.
chusetts Ave. N. W., and also
testified that she was known as
Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Barry. She
denied, however, that she was
married to the prisoner.
She said she and Barry quar-
relied over the checking of a suit
case containing a fur coat. Barry
did not want it checked, and went
away angry. She said she did not
see him again until after the kill
ing of young Seigel, who lives ir
the 200 block of Tenth st. S. E.
Old Threat Disclosed
Mrs. Goebel said she has knowr
Seigel for four years, and thai
two years ago Barry threatened
to kill Seigel during a quarrel al
Colonial Beach. Seigels name was
not mentioned during the last
quarrel over the suitcase, she
added.

six-year-old son, toll police yester.
day that Barry, whom she had
known, many years, greatly re-
Sented her friendship for the
young grocery clerk who was
mortally wounded Tuesday near
his place of employment.
Although there has been some
suspicion that Barry and the
shooting Of Seigel, with which he
is charged, are linked with the
burglaries Of Kenneth M. Kronick
who is now held in Baltimore,
these burglaries and the posi-
bility of a connection were not
brought up at the inQutSt.

D, c, INSURANCE
CODE STUDIED .

Technicalities, typographical er-
rors and minor amendments to
the insurance code bill for the
Distritc were considered at a
meeting of the insurance subcom-
mittee of the House District
Committee today.
The bill, which was prepared
by Corporation Counsel William
w. Bride, was introduced to
make changes in the insurance
code for the District due to
changes in conditions over that
of 80 years ago when the old
code was formulated.
Representative Byron B. Har-
Ian CD of Ohio said that the
changes are not drastic in any
form but are rather minor ones.
He said practically all of the
insurance groups, with the ex-
ception of the marine and casu-
atty groups, have agreed to the
code proposed in the new bill.

HOUSE To PASS
TODAY ON PAY
FUR[OUGHS
Economy Provision Expected
to Be Retained in Ap.
preparations Bill

The House today is expected
to pass the Treasury-Postoffice
appropriations bill with the pay
less furlough provision retained
for another year.
Another fight however, will be
made by a militant minority on
the furlough provisions.
Representative Fiorella H. La
Guardia, leader of the anti
furlough forces, said he plans to
make a last minute effort to
have the furlough stricken from
the bill. Failing in that he will
attempt to have those Federal
employees making only $1,000 q
year exempt from a payless
furlough.
BOylan Ready for Fight
Government workers were
assured last night by Represen-
tative John Boylan CD Of New
York, that he will fight the last
ditch to defeat the furlough. He
said he believes President-elect
Roosevelt when inaugurated will
lend a friendly ear to Govern
ment employees working so faith
fully in the Federal service"
Boylan said representatives
from the larger cities all favored
keeping Government wages on q
decent standard" He said it
is the legislators from rural dis
tricts who favor lower wages. He
said they look at things on a
cheaper scale because of the
lower living costs of their con-
Stituents.
Decision Withheld
Although the Senate Economy
Committee met today to consider
the respective merits of the fur.
Tough and the straight pay cut,
no definite decision was reached.
and. according to Senator Hiram
Bingham (R0 of Connecticut,
chairman, a decision will be with
held for several days.
The majority Of the members
Of the committee say they still
have open minds on the two prop.
ositions. There is purported to
be. however, a faint trace Of fav-
oritism for retention of the fur
Tough for another year. If this
course is followed certain mem.
bers of the committee would be
pursuing the House lead instead
of attempting to upset the fur
lough, the administration of which
has now been worked out by de-
partment heads, and those having
jurisdiction over decisions con-
corning it's application.
It is also said in some quarters
that the Economy Committee will
not recommend any major alter
ations in the economy act, but
will permit its function for an
other year in the same manner as
carried out in the current period.

DECLARES
Report Sees Conflict Coming
With President Roosevelt,
But "WiII Be in Open"

In his annual report. to the
Methodist Board of Temperance,
prohibition and public morals,
DR.. Clarence True Wilson declared
today that prohibition is in
grave danger"
This was due to the capture
of organizations and educational
agencies by the wets," and he
predicted a terrible reaction"
Sees Fight Coming
DR.. Wilson expressed the opinion
that President-elect Roosevelt "is
conscientious in his views and a
man of high ideals" adding I'VE
will find ourselves in direct con-
flict with him over prohibition,
but it will be in the open, on the
square and carry no personal
implications"
The radio, many newspapers
and other organs of publicity, in.
cluding motion pictures, are be-
ing used to exploit teachings
which encourage the beverage use
of alcohol "as necessary to human
happiness" the board charged in
it's report.
Organization Asked
The board said it was impera-
tive for every local church to be
organized to express its opinion
on the maintenance of the
Eighteenth Amendment and sup
porting legislation.
A subcommittee Of the board
advised that definite effort be
made to secure objections from
patrons of motion picture films
when unfair representations in
regard to prohibition appear, or
when exhibitions "by their char
acter are subversive of good
morals and the public order"

BeIated Jokes
Some time ago wrote that marriage had always had
bad press and that the jokes current the sub
ject of the altar, the mothernlaw and domestic bliss
in general really Jagged behind the times For modern
life has made easier than it before to
love affair disguised as marriage and to take mar
riage for long time love affair with contrlbutOry
Satisfactons.
The grim reasts have assured us that marriage one
of two things: moral cloak economic arrange
ment 1t has been both of these things. But modern
comfort of living and modern freedom for have
worked together to bettle both of these arguments
against marriage. woman who marries now is
of keeping her own identity that she needn't bother
to keep her own name; she may earn her living
and she is unlikely to become slave in the house of
her mother-in-law.
The Noyes System
If the co-eds of Wesleyan want marriage which shall
at least start out love affair." most Americans do
they making choice between innocence and expert
in their mates, and they not telling whether
they propose innocence experience their side,
but the probability is in favor of innocence. This is
nothing Some 70 ago the energetic and in
tellgent John Humphrey Noyes founded community
based complex marriage, in which the young mated
with the mature and not permanently that when the
young grew to maturity they' IN turn married again
against the system except that it immoral It
tainy satisfied those who practiced it. It is vogue
but under the names of marriage-and-divorce.
The Tots Again
offer possibility this explanation of the unhapp
of many marriages years ago. that bringing up chill
dren economically hard but mentally too easy Chill
dren arriving by the half dozen broke down the health
of the mother; their upkeep made the father slave to
his work Neither parent had to give much thought to
the way the children educated.
Today the education of children is complex and
special subject that parents have something of press
ing Importance to talk about every day of their lives.
It isn't merely love for their children which keeps them
together when it does it is serious thought about the
children The divorces of which know still where
there children where the children being
sent to modern school, Or at least where the parents
are not bothering about modern psychology
Study modern education of little children send your
children to modern schools and the prospect of divorce
is too pleasant For you would have to have your
children for six months year, and the thought of coping
with the little demons alone of having to make unaded
those omentous decisions which modern parents do in
10 crises an hour is too much. There people who
doubt whether the new methods of teaching children will
do the children any good That isn't the point They do
the parents a lot of good. r.

PHEASANT FLOCKS
ARE ON INCREASE
Despite Million Bagged Last
Falls, Birds Plentiful
This Spring

Despite the estimate that more
than one million pheasants were bag
ged by hunters in Minnesota during
the season last fall, chief district game
wardens are reporting greater num-
Der of the birds this spring than in
previous years.
The pheasant was first introduced
in the state of Minnesota in 1908 and
has since multiplied so fast that
hunting of them now is considered
one Of the chief fall pastimes.
Only 35 per cent of the 184,464 hunt
ers who applied for small game Ii
censes in 1881 gave detailed reports
of their hunts, these indicating that
353,573 of the birds found their way
to dining tables. Applying the same
percentage to hunters who did not re-
port, more than million pheasants
were bagged.
All chief district game wardens
reporting on the pheasant situation,
except those in the northern part of
the state, where the birds do not
thrive so well, stated that there are
as many, or perhaps more birds this
spring than in previous years.
The birds are especially plentiful
in this community in spite of the
heavy killing during the season last
fall. Feed distributed by local sports
men proved to be a great help in pre-
venting the birds from starving dur
ing the severe winter months.
