GRAF ZEP HEADS
FOR NASHVILLE

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. ~ G.N.SO.
Through clearing skies the Graf
Zeppelin forged on toward Akron
at full speed today after battling
for several hours a fog blanket
that enshrouded southern Georgia
and Alabama.
The German dirigible radioed
its position at 1910 a. M, central
standard time, as over Scottsboro,
Ala.
The ship was apparently head
ing on a beeline for Nashville,
Tenn, after asking the United
States Airways weather bureau
here for a weather report. The
Graf was informed that clear fly
ing conditions prevailed to Nash
vile.

DR.. Hugo Eckener, commander of
the giant Graf Zeppelin, and DR..
Hans Luther, German ambassador

but the dirigible will not land
here. For lack of facilities for
handling the airship here, it will
merely fly over the city and re-
turn to Akron.

40 FEARED DEAD
IN RAIL WRECK

PARIS, Oct. "a GN.SJ-More
than 40 persons we're believed
killed today in one of the worst &C
cidents in the history of French
railways-derailment of the Cher
bourg to Paris express near Con-
ches, 60 miles northwest OF Paris.
An official announcement by
by the State railways said 81 per.
sons were dead, 10 probably IA
tally injured and Is less seriously
hurt. Paris afternoon papers,
however, estimated the dead at 40
and the injured at 100.
The accident occurred as the
train was speeding toward Paris at
9:55 a. m. Early reports from
Evereux, near the scene of the
disaster, indicated the train had
left trestle and plunged into the
River Iton.
Later information, however,
said that only the engine fell
into the river. The cars piled
up on the rails, teleScoping one
another. The roadbed was be-
lieved Softened by recent heavy
rains.
While the disaster occurred on
the line used by many transat-
lantic. steamship passengers en-
route to Paris from Cherbourg,
chief French port of call for
ocean liners, no Americans were
believed aboard.

Undeterred by criti c i S m
abroad or by doubt and skep-
ticism expressed in some finan-
cial circles at home, President
Roosevelt moved ahead today
toward the goal of a managed
currency, confident it will
lead to higher commodity
prices for the American pro-
ducer and a dollar freed of
control by European specu-
lators.
This is expected to result in
cheapening the dollar in relation
to the pound and the franc and
in boosting the world price of the
yellow metal.

Also, it is expected to retain in
this country between $4,000 and
10000 ounces of gold which has
been flowing out each week under
the Administration order permit
ting American gold producers to
reap the advantage of the higher
world price. With the R. F. c.
ready to buy gold at price higher
than the world price, there would
be no reason for disposing Of it
abroad.
The Governments first pur-
chase of gold under President
Roosevelt's new monetary policy
will be made tomorrow.

COURT ASKED.

|NSULL
"OId Man Without Country or
Friends" Says His Lawyer,
Fighting Extradition

ATHENS, Oct. "a (I.N.S)'
Samuel insult, who as reigning
monarch of Midwestern utili'
ties in the United States held
a position Of power equalled
by few men in his time, was
depicted today as an "unfortu,
nate old man" without a coun'
try and without friends.
This bid for sympathy was
launched by Christos LadaS, one
of his defense attorneys, when the
hearing of the United States Gov
erment's attempt to extradite
him to Chicago to stand trial for
fraudulent bankruptcy was re,
sumed before the court Of appeals,
No Home; NOsFunds
In a passionate voice LadaS
said:
"Here is an unfortunate old
man who knew glory and who
knew wealth.
"But now he is left alone,
without country and without
friends.
"If he were extradicted, what
cOuld he give?"
Freshed by a days rest, insult
arrived in court early, and was
obliged to wait some time in the
office of the court clerk while the
justices of the appeals court dealt
with a number of'routine eviction
cases.
insult sat in his chair in the
courtroom, chin upon his hand
listening intently to the words
of his attorney, although he was
unable to understand the pro
ceedings, which were carried on
in Greek.
New Tack by Defense
Lada's appeal for sympathy
marked a new tack on the part
of the insult defense, as there
had been no previous indication
of any such strategy.
In their previous arguments
Insults attorneys had confined
themselves to stressing the argu
ment that there was no dis
honesty involved in insults man
agement of his huge business
enterprises and that he was
merely a victim of the general
economic collapse of 1929.
Continuing his rhetorical study
in contrasts, Ladas outlined In
sull's dramatic career from the
time he went to the United
States from his native England
to take a post as secretary tc
the late Thomas Alva Edison
Said Ladas:
"InsulI became a king in the
domain of electricity. Like so
many other kings, he failed"
For a purpose which he did moi
make clear Immediately, LadaS
stressed insults British birth, say
ing:
"He is not really American,
but English"
The justices of the court sat ir
silence as Ladas told the story oi
the young London lad who started
his career as an office boy anc
showed such ingenuity and adN2ta
bility as Edson's secretary thai
the great inventor invested hin
with a position of trust that latel
enabled him to build up utilities
empire of his own.

tains the record of annual increas- es for the past four years. An en- couraging feature also in connec- tion with the gold mining indus try was the renewed interest in prospecting The 1882 production of gold with the output of former years, brings the total vaule of the gold produced in the Territory to more than $4O8,3 ,36O,O00, accord ing to statistics of the Alaska Branch, U. s. Geological Survey.
 "The low value of copper and lead offered no incentive to speed up production in the copper mines, but on the contrary there was a tendency to curtail production and operation as much as possible. Copper mines of the Territory, which produced 22.055,271 pounds of copper ore, valued at $2,080, ,33S in. 1881, yielded only l0,S06,614 pounds of ore in 1882, valued at $723,225.
 No serious condition as to pro duction was shown in the fisher ies industry, but prices fer its commodities reached a distressing ly low point. The price condition caused a drop in the aggregate of all it's products from $36, 1922 ,861 in 1891, to s26,177,938 this year. The loss was mainly in canned salmon. The total pounds shipped to the United States and Canada this year declined, but 8,126.520 pounds from the 1881 shipments of 267,- 298,021 pounds but the declared value dropped from S31, ,16l ,504 to $22,145,235 this year.
Seward daily gateway., 1933-02-28

as compare with 24,331 ,357 pounds and $2,470,219 in 1881.
 shipments of cured or pre- served herring showed an increase in both pounds and value this year over 1881, amounting to 14,- 422,224 pounds, valued at $761 ,115 as against 8,554,175 pounds and $549,502 in value in 1881.
 The whaling industry was again revived this year after 8 year of idleness and 767,262 gallons of oil were shipped from the Territory at a value of $115,747.
 shipments of furs and live ami mals during this year suffered a value loss of $1,120,474, due pri- marily to drops in market values rather than. take of furS.''

ALASKA TRADE VOLUME DROPPED
 THE PAST YEAR
EXPORTS EXCEED IMPORTS IN 1892 BY S19,873,674-GOLD
 IS ACTIVE

Thee total commerce of Alaska for the year 1882, as disclosed in the annual report of J. c. Mcbride, Collector of Customs, made public, was $60,894,150 as compared to $70,125,41O for 1881, a decrease of slightly more than 20 percent.
 The main causes of the sharp decline in 1882 were in the near collapse of the copper industry, for a long time major industry of the Territory and the unusually low value of the products of the fisheries industry" says the Col lectOr.
 TRADE BALANCE HEALTHY
 The aggregate value of outborne shipments for the year was S40,- 383,912. The inbound commerce totaled S20,510,238. The balance of trade in Aleska's favor was S19,- 873,074.
 The years business total was the smallest experienced in almost two decades, Collector Mcbride pointed out. The decline, however, except as to copper ore, was one of values rather than volume. The fisheries lost little if anything in quantity of products Gold showed a good gain, increasing from $3,928,795 in 1881 to $9,261 ,48S last year. Fisher ies declined slightly more than $1O,0O0,O00, dropping from s36,l68,- 7e9 to $26,O75,03S
 TOTAL GOLD LARGE
 Commenting on last years trade movements, the reports said:
 Of Alaskan industries, mining stood almost alone in showing an upward trend. Domestic gold and silver shipped from the Territory this year amounted to S9,328,87 as against se,O18,378 for 1881, or an increase of S31O,501. This main

 Urge Flood Project
 As Relief Measure

To assist Alaska Delegate Dimond in his efforts to secure inclusion of the Hyder flood control plan of the U. s. Engin- eers in the emergency relief program of the Administration, the Chamber of Commerce for Warded to the delegate last week a mass of data bearing on the flood situation, together with a series of graphic air. plane photographs showing how the river may sweep away virtually all the available land in the townsite below the rock cut if adequate protection is not afforded. The Chamber al- so urged the delegate to use his utmost endeavors to have the work, if authorized, per formed as far as possible by local labor, in order that the local unemployed as we'll as the business houses may re- ceive the benefit of the money expended instead of some out side contractor employing inn ported labor. The communi- cation was forwarded by air mail from Seattle and was ex- pected to be in Washington Wednesday.
