Engineer Delegates
Use u. s. Cafeteria
Although Forbidden

Ignoring a warning by Capt.
F. w. Hoover. manager of the
Welfare and Recreational Asso-
citation in charge of the Depart
ment of Commerce cafeteria, that
they were not to lunch there,
delegates to the convention of
the American Association of En-
gineers yesterday mingled among
Government employees and ate in
the Government cafeteria.
Captain Hoover was highly in.
cenSed at their action.
He had already not only re-
fused a request by association Off
cialS that delegates be served a
luncheon there, but had indicated
that if members ate there it would
lay the Recreational Association
open to censure for competing
with privately owned restaurants.
1nasmuch as no Identification
of employees is demanded in the
cafeteria, Miss Kathrine Durnell,
manager, pointed out, it was i'm
possible for counter girls to dis
tinguish the engineers from Gov
ernment clerks.
A larger number of customers
yesterday, however, led to the dis
covery that the engineer delegates
had eaten there.

termined origin early today de-
stroyed the buildings Of the
Suburban Motor Company, on

two hours they were able to drag
only nine automobiles from the
buildings and all of these were
practically destroyed.
Firemen Handicapped
The firemen were hampered in
their work by the extreme heat
and the dense clouds of smoke.
Hundreds of residents of nearby
towns we're attracted to the
scene and watched the fire until
it was finally under control about
$3.50 o'clock.
Losses are covered by insur-
ance. Sergt. H. G. Machen, Of

of the building before it was dis
covered by patron of a billiard
room on the first floor.

minent today following the
transfer of Inspector o. T.
Davis, chief of the crime pre-

Refuses Comment
General Glassford would not
discuss the identity Of Davis sue
cessor and would not comment
on rumors that Capt. Edward ].

Third precinct, might take the
deposed inspectors place. He
said, however: .r
"Kelly is well qualified for
the job"
The police superintendent would
not discuss reports of his ad-

GRANT DEFENDS.
GOVERNMENT
CAFETER|AS
Director of Public Buildings
Sees No Reason Why Visitors
Should Not Be Served

"The Government has as
much right to provide suitable
eating facilities for its en-
ployes as do private firms
With this flat statement, Lieut..
Col. q. S. Grant Sd, director of
public buildings and parks, indi-
Gated today the stand he will take
next Monday when he will answer
charges brought by the Shannon
committee that Government
operated cafeterias and lunch
counters are competing with pri-
vate concerns. Continuing, he
said:
eve do not wish to compete
with outside firms in the feed
ing of Government employees,
but we have found that greater
efficiency is gained by prOvid-
ing employees with wholesome
food at eating places close to
where they work."
There is no valid reason, he
added, why visitors should not
also be served in Government
cafeterias if they wish to eat
there. Their patronage is not
specially solicited, however.
Even if it were decided to re-
strict service to Government en-
ployeS, Colonel Grant said he
could see no way of identifying
employees without slowing up the
service. Federal employees are
allowed but one-half an hour to
eat as it is, he pointed out.

 It looks now asthough Delegate Wickersham's bill to provide salaries instead of fees to be paid U. s. com missioners in Alaska will not pass at this session of Congress because of the general determination of both po- litical parties to keep down appropri- ations. The House committee on ju- dietary referred the bill to the De- partment of Justice and received the following expression from Attorney General William D. Mitchell:
 "The Department has for some time been considering legislation to put commissioners in Alaska on sal ary basis, and is inclined, as a gen. eral proposition, to look upon the plan with approval. However, it would require new appropriation to cover the salaries and expenses of commissioners in an amount estimat- ed at $175,O00. Against this there would be offset approximately $37,- 900 per annum (fees now received by commissioners from sources other than the United States) an aggregate of $46,000, leaving a net additional cost to the government of $129,OOO. In view of the increased cost to the Government which this measure would involve, and because 1 do not regard it's enactment now an absolute essential, and in view of the present financial situation, 1 recommend against it's enartment at this time."
 William H. Sturtevant, who has been a resident of Nome and the far Northern country since the early days of gold discovery, is spending a few days in Washington and calling atten- tion to some irregularities of admin istration that he thinks should be thinks should be righted in the Sec ond division. MT. Sturtevant came out last November and has been spending the time in Seattle and Cali fornia, expecting now to visit rela- tives in the New England States and to return to Nome in the spring.
 Delegate Wickersham' bill to ex- tend the boundaries of the Mount Nc Kinley National Park has been ap- proved by the Secretary of the In- terior. The Delegate added an amendment to protect locations al- ready made within the added sarea, and after a few corrections in de- scription the bill was approved by the committee on public lands. Under the bill the east side extension from Windy creek north brings the park boundary to the right-of of the Alaska Railroad and takes in a few isolated tracts lying east of the rail- road and the west part of the Nenana river, the latter being natural boundary line for the park. The Park Service already maintains roads and trails within this area, and a new hotel will later be erected near the railroad. The proposed extension to the northwest will bring Wonder Lake into the Park, and thus afford another hotel-lodge development and finer view of Mount Mckinley than any now had in the Park. With the opening of this reg ionit would be a comparatively simple matter for the Territory to connect up with the Kan tishna district, making that region accessible.
