Raskob to Be Named Sec retary of Treasury, Ac-
 cording to Report
SENATOR COPELAND ISI ITO BE SENT TO FRANCE
Al Smith to Be Named Sen- ator from New York
 Farley for Governor

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The Daily News, in a copywrited article to- day says Alfred E. Smiths visit to the White House with President Roosevelt. according to a person high in Democratic Party circles concerned the following shifts in the Administrations personnel and the following appointments which he said would be made:
 The resignation of William H. Woodin as Secretary of Treasury and the appointment of John J. Raskob as his successor.
 Resignation of Jesse Tsa d or Straus as Ambassador to France and the appointment of U. s. Sen ator Royal Copeland as his suc- cessor.
 Appointment by Gov. H. H. Le- hman of Al Smith to succeed Sen ator Copeland in the U. s. Senate.
 Farley For Governor
 UdlliSo A l lCy, IoooiilooeSA general, is designated in the article as the next Democratic candidate for the Governor of New York to succeed Lehman, who, The News said, will not seek renomination.
 Through such an arrangement, The News said, it is hoped to cir cumvent the advantage gained by the Fusionists in the recent elec- tion of Fiorello LaGuardia as may or of New York and to rebuild the Democratic machine in New York City.
 The paper added that this pro- gram apparently means the custer of John Curry as the leader of Tammany Hall.
 Straus recently returned from Paris and has been advised by his physicians to retire.

BACKS ALASKA ON TAX
 ON FISHERIES
No Basis for Proposed Pro- cessing Tax in Fishery
 Products, Claim

In support of it's own protest against the proposed processing tax on fishery products, the Cham Der of Commerce here has been informed that the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce has passed a resolution on the same subject and has instructed it's Washington agent, J. J. Underwood, to use every effort to defeat the proposal.
 A copy of the resolution was presented at today's meeting of the local organization It was ad- vised that it's attention to the matter was aroused by an Ed itorial in The Empire which was forwarded to them by Secretary G. H. Walmsley.
 No Shift Evidenced
 The Seattle resolution was as follows:
 Under authority of the Agricul- tural Adjustment Act the Secre- tary of Agriculture, beginning Nov ember 5, 1883. has required the payment of a Processing Tax on hogs and pork products. The Sec retary is now proposing to levy Compensatory Tax on fish and sea food products to equalize the competition to pork from these commodities. He is authorized to do so, but under the terms of the Act it must be shown that there is an excessive shift in consump- ton from pork products to fish. This most emphatically can not be borne out by the record of sales of fish products. Furthermore, there can be no excessive shift as the quantity of fish products is fairly stable, and there is no reasonable likelihood whatever of a substan- tial increase occurring The 1883 pack of canned salmon does not exceed the average over period of years.
 Tt is estimated that the compen- satory tax on fish under the sched- ule of the progressively increasing pork processing tax may be as high as six cents per pound can of salmon. The imposition of this tax would seriously interfere with the distribution of salmon and it would retard it's consumption at time when the industry greatly needs encouragement. Under the

 A widespread shake-up is now seen by observers here and a force full policy of building the navy up to the limit of the London pact is regarded as possible. With this accomplished, the big navy advo- cates will demand larger ratio, perhaps parity even, at the 1884 naval conference.

Defense in Lawrence Mur- der Case Starts This P.
 M.-Motion Is Denied

The Government concluded it's main case against Paul Johnson and Albert Doc) Matthews at Il m. today and motions for in structed verdicts of not guilty were promptly made by George B. Gigs by and Grover c. Winn, who re- present the two men accused of murder in the first degree for the alleged killing of Mrs. Eva Law renee here on February IA, last
 The motions were argued briefly. MT. Vim contended that Matthews whom he is defending, had not been linked at all with the killing and that the evidence did not show he was in the room at the time, while MT. Grigsby declared the evidence was not sufficient to show that any crime had been commit ted. Judge G. F. Alexander over ruled both motions.
 Story is UnfOlded
 The Government yesterday after noon and this morning laid before the jury the evidence on which it builds it's hopes for a conviction. Jimmy Tanaka, waiter in the City Cafe corroborated R. S. Hough's story relative to the incidents in the main dining room there just prior to Mrs. Lawrence's death.
 Dr. w. J. Pigg testified to his examination of the body. He was summoned by Johnson by tele- phone. When he arrived, he said Johnson called the women by a vile name and asked him to see if he could revive her. He saw at once she was dead.
 Death. he testified was caused by strangulation. He described the marks in the woman's throat as made by a thumb and fingers, and a discoloration on her breat as having been made by the heel of the hand pressing there.
 Pictures of the marks, over stren- uous objections by MT Grigsby, were shown to the jury after hav- ing been identified by Fred Ordway. They were made 10 days after the alleged killing.
 Former United States Commis- sioner Charles Sey, who as cor onor presided over the inquest, also described the marks and id entitled the photographs. He testi- fled Johnson had told him he slapped the woman and popped her in the face. Dr. Pigg also as- serted Johnson had told him the same thing.
 Dr. w. w. Councr, who with Dr. Pigg made the autopsy, corrobora- ted Dr. Pigg's testimony. The wo- man was checked to death, he as- serted. Under cross examination by MT. Grigsby. he admitted it was possible for marks such as were on Mrs. Lawrence's throat to have been made without fatal re- suits, but added in this case he was convinced that death was the result of strangulation

By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Association Press, Washington.)

The current of events flowing out of various phases of the Re- covery Program is carrying the Administration rapidly toward a fundamental decision of the old question: Shall we have more or less of direct government control of private business and of the ev- eryday affairs of national life?
 The question is raised sharply by the proposal of Gerald Swope to reorganize the industrial set up under a self-governing Nation- al Chamber of Commerce. It is raised by the emergence of new stage on the farm relief experi- ment, making it necessary to begin planning for long-term rather than immediate results,

Deep Level Mining Pro. gresses-New Milling
 Equipment Is Tried

Conditions throughout the Alaska Juneau mine are satisfactory, ex- periments in a new milling process are being made, and 1,250 tons ot ore from the deep level workings are being mined daily, are the highlightS in statement given The Empire yesterday by P. R Bradley, President of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, be- fore his departure for home. He left last night on the steamer Princess Norah for Seattle enroute ito San Francisco
 Mir. Bradley, commenting on the contemplated NRA system for AL aska, said: If MIRA comes to AL aska, the Alaska Juneau will adopt it gracefully and abide by it cor dially"
 Increase Tonnage Shortly Satisfactory ogress is being made on the deep level develop ment program undertaken some two years ago and which have uncovered a substantial ore body of somewhat higher average value than the ore heretofore mined The daily production is about 1,250 tons. This. however, will be stepped up Inext Spring. at which time the new hoist will be ready for use. This hoist is the largest in the Terri tory, and will have a daily capacity of 6,000 tons from the 2,000-foot level, or 1000 below the present lowest development. It exceeds the old Treadwell hoist capacity 50 per cent, he said, but it is a much smaller piece of equipment.
 All of the new ore, he said, is not high grade. Its nature is such that the company will have to watch its production costs carefully in order to work it at profit.
 Installation of Equipment

 The new equipment is a fine grinder which it is hoped will be even more satisfactory in handling the ore than the present success ful method.
 Expand Explorations
 Under the direction of Livingston Wernscke, eaid MT. Bradley, the company will not only continue it's present policy of searching for new properties but it will expand it's exploratory operations. Just now these are largely at a standstill due to seasonal conditions. As soon as Spring comes, they will be renewed with vigor.
 We will be increasingly active in that field. The new price of gold naturally adds interest in that direction, and we believe we will
