 Delegate Wickersham has prepared and will introduce in Congress next week hill to authorize the Legisla ture of Alaska to so extend it's legiS- lative power as to take over the sal mon and other fisheries within Terri torial waters and to control fishing and canning therein; to have jurisdic- tion over all wild animals, including all fur-bearing animals except the fur seals, and over al wid or game birds therein. The Legislature would have authority to pass laws for the protection. conservation, control and regulation of the taking of wild an- Simals and birds in Alaska, and the do
 mestication, possession, sale and hunting of such animals and birds.
 The Legislature would not exercise any control over fur seals, nor inter fere in any way with the provisions of the existing treaties between the United States and foreign countries for the protection of migratory birds or other wild life. Nothing in the act shall abrogate or curtail the powers granted the Legislature to impose other and additional taxes or licenses, nor limit or curtail any powers grant ed to the Legislature by the Organic Act

Two Alaskans recently crossed from Canada into the State of Washington near the town of Oroville. They look ed for customs office at the border, but found none and proceeded to Se- attle, where they were reported and later fined $1O0. As they had no "goods" of any kind in their car they felt aggrieved and wrote to the Dele gate to help them out. He took the matter up with the Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury and succeeded in having the penalty reduced to $10.

In the budget submitted to Con gress by President Hoover there is nc reference to a building program for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1882. In a statement recently made by J. Clawson Roop, director of the Budget, it is announced that all pro- jects already specifically authorized and appropriated for will be pushed to completion. But naccount of the heavy Government deficit. which will amount to two billion dollars at the end of June next, and the neces- sity of raising new taxes, ii has been determined by the Budget not to obli- gate the Government further during the approaching fiscal year by re- questing new authorizations. If this policy is carried out it will apply to the whole country, and would neces- sarily affect the early construction of the public buildings at Anchorage and Ketchikan.
 However, various members of Con gress, like Senator Jones, chairman of the appropriations committee. Sem ator LaFolle.te, and Representative Swing, believe that Congress should assist the unemployment situation by providing jobs through appropriations for public works, which would largely mean public buildings.

Occasionally the Delegate receives compaint from Alaska of the ineffi- ciency or partisanship of U. s. con- missioner, and asking for his re- moval. When the matter is taken up with the Department of Justice the reply is that nothing can be done here and that complaint should be made to the presiding judge of the division concerned.

In the matter of the homestead or headquarters of Stephanius Sandberg the register of the district land office at Anchorage has decided that Mr. Sandberg can not apply for free survey for a homestead, as he does not show any cultivation as required under the homestead laws, and that in an application for homesite the applicant is required to pay for the survey in accordance with the regu- lations governing trade and manufac turing sites Attorney LeFevre, of Juneau, has taken an appeal from this decision to the General Land Office at Washington, for the reasons that the register erred in holding that to ob tain free survey for homested or headquarters applicant must show cultivation, and because he erred ip holding that an applicant for a home site is required to pay for the survey Johnny What is a philosopher, father?"

CASE
. SEEN DEFY|NG
SOLUTION

STANFORD, Conn.,, Dec. %
TN.SO.-Somewhere along a
waterfront, where dwell shiftless
men known as "floaters," a guilt
racked man with burning eyes
may break down on the verge OF
death and tell what happened to
Benjamin Ceilings.
Or when violence breaks out
again in a remote SeapoRt, a stall
wart fellow with bushy black
broWS may be SeiZed-and con-
nected with the crime aboard the
yacht Penguin year and four
months ago. when a man was
thrown overheard to drown and
his wife carried off in rowboat.
These are the only remaining
ways in which the murder Of
Ceilings, so inexplicably violent.
can be wrested from the dark
mystery in which it has reposed
since September 9. 1881.
Confession, Only Hope
For it is a casual" crime, the
kind that defies solution, being
planless, motiveleSs, formleSs, and
bitterly effective, according to
William A. Kelly, attorney for
Mrs. Lillian Ceilings, the slain
mans widow. He said today:
"AbOut the only hope we
have now is that there will be
a confession. We have traced
down every clue. and none has
proved of value.
However. this we know: The
men involved were water rats,
one of them. at least. a para
nOiac. They are given to deeds
of violence.
That's the trouble with men
of this mental unbalance. They
seem normal until circumstances
bring out their hOmicidal ten
denotes. Then they commit
crimes. They may be found in
the midst of another crime"
MANY FALSE CLUES
Kelly, who has represented Mrs.
Ceilings since the beginning of
the inquiry, at which she was the
principal witness, has taken
charge of the false leads, the
sudden hopeful messages which
have trickled in throughout the
last year.

STOCKS IN RALLY
AS MARKET CLOSES
Organized Support for Secu.
rites Is Seen in Upward
Movement.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June 2.-The stock
market today finally found level from
which it could rally.
Prices were weak most of the morn
ing, with heavy pressure on the public
utilities, where the proposed new tax
on electric power distribution was the
controlling influence More new lows
were established
Before noon, however, resistance to
the decline appeared and all through
the second half of the session the trend
was upward. The market closed higher
except for the utilities, and some OF
them were up on the day and all OF
them above their lows.
For the turnabout, the explanation
accepted in the street was organized
support in both bond and stock markets
by important interests. Whether this
was true or not, the effect was the same
Liquidation dried up and a genera,
advance was initiated Gains on the
DAY were moderate and the market was
not particularly active on the recovery
but the close founo traders in a more
cheerful mood than in weeks past
Most of the morning was a period
Of declining prices. All the public
utilities were weak and nearly all OF
them went into new low ground The
reason was further consideration of the
probable effects of the tax on electric
power distribution proposed in the
Senate bill The analysts were uncertain
as to exactly what it would mean tt
dividends, but were sure that 1t woul(
decrease the margin of safety. o.
course the effect would be more serioA
on the holding companies than on the
operating companies.
When, as in the case of Public Service
Of New Jersey 1t was planned to i'm.
pose State tax on top of the Fedora
tax, the outlook was that much more
unfavorable. The early selling there
fore carried Consolidated Gas down be.
low 80, Public Service below 80, United
Gas Improvement below 10, North
American below IA, Peoples Gas below
46, Louisville Gas g. Electric below 10
Pacific Lighting below 21 and Southern
California Edison below 16-all of then
new lows
Liquidation persisted in American
Telephone & Telegraph, but that STOCK
also recovered a part Of the early loss
During the first hour it sold below S3
a price unequaled in a generation. A
number of the rails made new lows be-
fore the rally appeared, the most i'm.
portant being Union Pacific. Atchison
however, was consistently supported ano
at noon was selling point higher or
the day.
Other points of early weakness were
Woolworth and Coca Cola. The selling
IN the former bore all the earmark,
Of forced liquidation. 1t broke the prics
down to %. a new low for these shares
R. H. Macy & Co. slipped off easily in
the first hour. Sears Roebuck made a
new low, and the food stocks were
weak

Miracle Plays in Streets.

Clergymen of England are proposing
that, to bring religion to the man IN
the street WHO does not bother TO 90
to church, there be revived the old idea
OF the religious or miracle PLAYS. and
produce them on city streets. They
suggest that the plays could be staged
on trucks placed at the end of blind
streets. The sponsors of the ideas are
certain that the productions would at
tract crowds, but their possible reac-
ton Is a question being discussed.
Col. Hamilton of the Salvation Army
told the Religious Drama Society that
slum audiences would have to be edu-
Gated, or he was not certain as TO what
they would do. The success of open
air Shakespearean performances have
encouraged the miracle-play hackers
and the idea may be tried this Summer.

failing Thieves Too Costly.

AT times. it is not fair to the state
TO put the expense of maintaining rob-
oers IN prison, even though they plead
guilty. That was the opinion expressed
by Justice Lavery during the trial of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Donohoe in the
Dlstrlct Court at Cavan, Irish Free
state, recently. The pair had selected
for their victims such prominent people
as Rev. Henry Galligan, priest at La
very; Tax Collector Andrew Smith of
Druminbawn and Francis Tracey of
klllagrogan. At Father Galligan's they
took money and. enjoyed a bottle OF
altar wine. Money was taken from
the others. Donohoe and his wife
pleaded guilty. which called for six
months sentence, but the Judge said
1t would cost too much to keep them.
so the duo was freed
