STOCK PRICES SLIPPING BACK
 ON. CAR REPORT
Revenue Freight Shows Decrease Many
 Shares Take Losses

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The Stock Market was unable to maintain the upward slant at the short session today in face of the moderate de- crease in the movement of revenue freight, as reported for the last week. The list stiffened in early trading, showing signs of continua- ton of yesteday's slow advance but the appearance of the freight car loadings statement, showing de- cline, prompted traders to switch to the bear side.
 The market closed with several losses of one to two points.
 The final tone was heavy.
 Todays turnover was around 100000 shares, almost entirely pro- fessional trading.
 Among the shares losing as much as two points were Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Lackawanna. Losses of a point or so appeared for Ne;y York Central, Southern Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio, Northern Pacific, Great Northern and others.

Intention Is to P r m o t e Peace, Security = }
 Factors Mentioned

NEW YORK, Got. 29.-Five world powers, the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia and Japan, are seeking new alignments intend ed to promote peace and security. This is reflected in dispatches from several capitals.
 One of the factors is to improve relations between Russia and Ja- pan despite the troublous Man. churia, lying between them.
 Another is treaty of non-ag- gression between France and Rus sia, stipulating France is not to aid any country attacking Rus sia, and vica versa.
 It is also apparent that there is an Anglo-Japan unity at Gen. eva, implying that two of the worlds largest naval powers have reached, in principle, harmonizing disarmament views.

 Reasons for Limitations
 My friend who runs the great Democratic newspaper here. ... understands or did understand the Washington Territorial Organic Act of 1854, and our own Organic Act of 1912 is very similar to that, ," the Delegate said ''As similar as the difference in time and condi- tions would permit He argued that in 1854, Washington had no commercial fisheries, no great amount of fur and game. The peo- pie of Washington had a greater degree of control over them than was given Alaskans.
 Government by bureau had not been developed at that time. Alas ka has great fishery resources and game and fur, but in 1912 the Federal government had bu- reaus that demanded the right to control them He contended the local Organic Act, as he had or iginally written it, didn't have any constitutional limitations affecting the bureaus made him put them in and for that season AlaSkans were not given the rights that residents of Washington Territory possessed But he added, there are no more limitations in the Alaska constitu- ton than there are in the constitu- tion of the United States.
 fisheries and fur and game but the rights that residents of Wash ington Territory possessed. But he added, there are no more limit ations in the Alaska constitution than there are in the constitution of the United States.
 Reverts to Procedure
 The Delegate then reverted to the technical procedure followed in the House in legislative matters. He pointed out that it is a busy organization. During the late term, more than 1000 measures were introduced. Members are limited to five minutes talk on any ques- ton on the floor of the House and all work on bills must be done in the committees having bills in their charge. During the first half of each term. the House is crowd ed, getting out of it's way the sup ply bills for the several executive departments, while the Senate loafs and talks endlessly. In the latter half, the situation is reversed. The House generally has passed it's im- portant bills and passed them on to the Senate. Other measures

DELEGATE LAYS.
 CAUSE BEFORE LOCAL AUDIENCE.
Apathy Exhibited by Hear CTS of Delegates Ad-
 dress at Capitol

Before a well-filled house last night at the Capitol theatre, Delegate James Wickersham ar gued his case for reelection for an audience that was more apa- thetic than interested He review co his record since he took office on March 4, 1881, citing legislation introduced, bills passed and un- tlertook to reply to the criticism lcveled at him by his political op- ponents.
 He attempted to justify his fail ure to prevent the establishment of a toll road system in Alaska by laying the responsibility for that action on a Democratic commit tee and a Democratic House of Representatives, admitting he could do nothing about the matter, And, anyway, he added, "it is a trivial matter"
 Spoke For Himself
 The Delegate was urlaccompan- jed on the speakers platform, speaking without formal introduc- tion. He mentioned the candidacy Of no other nominee of the Repub- can party, speaking solely on his own behalf. The apathy of his audience was indicated by the in- frequency and light volume of ap- plause. An occasional ripple of laughter, light batter of hand clapping, a few times, was as high as the tide of approbation ever mounted.
 There were no oral fireworks In fact, in few preliminary re- marks he informed his audience he was not going to entertain it with stories, although he knew few; not attack anybody; not be abus- ve; and was going to address it seriously. And that he proceeded to do for almost two hours.
 Outlines. Work of Delegate
 Simply and briefly he told of the work that the Delegate to Congress is required to perform in Washington which, he said, is much more than a mere matter Of looking after legislative details in Congress. It involves the doing of many errands for his constituents composed of 3O,OOO whites and as many aborigines. The former. he remarked, are prolific letter writers and the volume of correspondence between the Delegate and Alaska is tremendous, all out of propor- ton to the population.
 During the term of Congress ex- piring last Summer, he said, he introduced A bills affecting the Territory in various ways. Many of them, he added, have been re- ported favorably out of commit tees and await further action at the December term. Three of them were enacted into law-one author izing the use of proceeds from To- cal sewer bonds for street inn provement purposes, and another authorizing the War Department to submit estimates to Congress for maintenance of the local Gov

Stiffens ID Foes

In his last IA starts Knight
has stiffened every one of his
opponents including George
Courtney, Matte Brown G:1d Bob
Tow included.
According to many of his
followers, Knight is the un-
crowned light-heavyweight cham
pion of the world. He decisively
whipped George Nichols, recog-
i1ized by the National Boxing
Association. as the champion.
Then too, there is his knock
out of Bob Goodwin which
stamps him as a really great
Southpaw.

he would put Red Barry in
against Knight. He queried
"Mushky" Jackson on the shot
and the reply was:
Barry will fight any heavy
weight in the world, but bars

STEELE FOULS
. LEWIS, NAT co
ENDS|N RIOT
BY LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Alleged
evils of the raSslin' racket were
to be aired at a meeting of the
State athletic commission today
as a result of the battle royal
at Madison Square Garden last
night when Ed (Strangler) Lewis,
aged champion in New York and
sundry other States. was declared
the winner over Ray Steele, cor
rugated Californian, on a So
called foul.
The commissioners probably
will put a ban on Slugging tao
tics as used by Steele, who be-
labored Lewis with a barrage of
fists and elbows during the
greater part of the 32-minute
milling.
Other wrestlers and spectators
greeted the disqualification of
Steele with a near-riot that re-
suited in the calling Of extra
police who lugged the trouble
makers out Of the Garden.
Mr.. Lewis Is Flabby
The contest had attracted
widespread interest because the
word had been passed around
that it was to be an honest-to-
goodness "shootin' match" and
during the early part of the
match it was due only to great
restraint on the part of the
spectators that both, principals
we're not shot. The flabby Mr.
Lewis, who was able to break
a brides biscuits in half with
his bare hands in the days of
his prime, could not catch the
slippery Steele.
Steele could not bulge the 240-
pound Kentuckian so there was
little action until Steele began
leading with rights, lefts and el.
bows, Lewis retaliating by leading
with his chin.
Chief Punches Curley
John Evko, Seattle wrestler be
longing to the Lewis herd, horri
fled by this, jumped into the ring
and rushed at Steele. only to be
rushed right out again by the po
lice. A minute later Steele was
disqualified for taking another
wallop at Lewis and then the
party really got rough.
Jack Curley. the portly pro
moter, was knocked flat when
punched squarely on the nose by
Chief White Feather, wrestler
who formerly worked for him but
now belongs to the rival Steele
Londos combine. Other wrestlers
and spectators made passes at
everybody in general. There had
not been so many passes made
hereabouts since the late Arnold
Rothstein broke up that famous
half-million dollar dice game.
The referees decision was a life,
saver for the Curley troupe, which
would have been without a cham,
pion for its nationwide circuit
had Lewis lost to Steele.

Jenkins Wants
More Pictures
Or Jones
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Dy NCOVNUC IA CANAK SOAN
C. Francis jenkins, who special
ICES in slow motion pictures in
his research laboratories here, has
invited Bobby Jones to pose for
additional pictures of his golf
swing. Jones is expected to stop
off here when making his next
trip north.
Several years ago, jenkins slow
motioned the swings of Jones as
we'll as those two brilliant Eng.
lish stylists, Harry Vardon and
Miss Joyce Wethered. However,
these pictures were taken in be-
half of the Professional Golfers
Association of 'merica which ex-
hibited them at clubs.
Since then, jenkins has devised
a better camera which reduces
the swing 200 times and also
gives a clearer picture when
flashed on the screen.
Jenkins wants these improved
slow-motion pictures of Jones for
scientific study in his laboratories
here, though they will be avail
able to clubs that desire them.
Several local golfers have al
ready been filmed by jenkins
