NEW COMMISSIONER IN ACTION.

Frank 1T Bell new United States Commissioner of Fisheries has started out with an aggressiveness and vision that is welcomed by all Alaskans and ought to be equally well received by those who are en- gagged in the salmon canning industry. His decision to cancel all recently opened trap sites as well as his action in the False Pass of the Alaska Peninsula district is being approved by salmon packers well as local fishermen It may be that Commissioner Bell will reopen all of the trap sites he has ordered closed, but that will depend upon the investigation he has said he will make.
 There has been so much criticism of conditions in the False Pass region where a single corporation is alleged to be in position to practically throttle the great red fishing industry of the entire Bristol Bay district that the Commissioner was well-advsed to take the matter under personal consideration. Much of the time of the Alaska Legislature during the past 60 days has been taken up with matters growing out of the False Pass situation. If one-half of what was charged before various committees by Legislators and persons actually engaged in canning is then there is need for drastic remedial steps It is the duty of Commissioner Bell to find out the facts of the and he has set about doing so Tn an encouraging manner.
 These are good omens for Alaskans Their inter est in the Territorial fisheries is paramount. They cannot idly stand by and any branch of it, particularly the salmon canning division, disrupted and torn down by factors that be removed by proper administration. Their own power of admin istration and regulation is limited to taxation and that way is repugnant to them. Still, if it should develop that that was the only way to prevent de- struction of the Territorys greatest industry they would not hesitate to use it.
 We are confident that Commissioner Bell will adjust many of the things of which complaint is current. He is practical man with long exper- ence in Washington. Although not practical fish erman himself, he has had long contact with op- orators of the Pacific Northwest. He is thoroughly familiar with many sides of public life particularly with the activities of the Federal Government gained through his service in Washington as Secretary to Senator c. C. Dill.
 He has resided in Washington State for a great many years He is at home in the Northwest and will be equally so in Alaska. And Alaskans connected with the industry fishermen or cannerymen will find him ready to hear their cases and willing to assist them in solving their problems

 Then obviously, my good Le Sage, Pedro Maligni was fooling you. He was giving you away to somebody who already knew Malig- his game, but didn't know yours. J
 Anyhow, there it was. Someone was listening and the game was up. If Pedro Maligni knew-then I was trapped. If he didn't know then We were both trapped, and my one idea was to get out of the trap as quickly as possible. So politely bade the noble Pedro to hold his tongue for moment, be- cause I wanted to think.

 That man was who has prospered in business through waazel-lke shrewdness and good luck rather than through hard work or real ability on his part. He made his money in line classed among the luxuries and that was sold altogether on in stallment payments.
 Where would he have been had $2 per day wages prevailed in the last quarter century? Where will most of our business be if such wages become prevalent? Who will buy the new cars, radios, new homes, furniture electric washing machines and ironers, and the like? Who will spend a dollar for other than the barest of necessities?
 That type of is out of step with American progress Intelligent business leaders know that general prosperity for all is their only hope of con- tinued success Millions of people slaving at long hours at back breaking labor and living on star yation wages do not represent our goal. Even the most selfish employers should be able to under stand that public buying power is essential to their success.
 Individuals holding and expressing the thoughts above referred to are dangerous Enlightened people will not submit to such reversion, and 1t is for tunate for the present and future generations that such is the case Such are no asset to America They are SO thoroughly selfish that their passing should be celebrated rather than apparently regretted.

The administration sales and in

will become law by tonight, as the
house and senate today concurred
in amendments, chief among which
was elimination of a provisions for

Concurrence of the house was a
tame affair, with only Republicans
and scattered Democrats joining
Representative H. H Evans, minor
ity floor leader, in Directing to elm
ination of the limitation clause.
Evans voiced the feelings of
the hoNse opposition when he
pointed out that the revenue bill is
an emergency measure and should
have an expiration date.
Twelve senators made a backto
the-wall fight in the upper house,
centering their attack on recessions
from the limitation and prior con-
tracts amendments.

lays the golden egg" Senator Leo
x Smith Dem, Indianapolis) in
fighting to exempt from taxation

tracts are exempt, hundreds of
property owners now operating I'M

Japanese Attack Chaoyang
BY RANDALL GOULD
United Press staff Correspondent

PEIPING, China, Feb. 24.-Chi-
neSe troops, stubbornly contesting
every foot of ground against a Jap
anes derive into the province of
Jehol formed new lines at Chao-
yang today after long battle in
which casualties on both sides were
reported heavy.
Chaoyang is thirty miles from
Peipaio. near the eastern border of
Jehol, where the fighting conferred.
The Chinese denied they had been
defeated, claiming they had made a
strategic withdrawal to consolidate
their lines.
The retreat left the japanese con-
trolling the short stretch Of rail-
way from Peipaio to Nanling, where
fighting especially was severe.
Thirty thousand Japanese and TO-
900 Mauchoukuoan troops were re-
ported used in the drive on Chao-
yang.
The japanese were making a de-
termined onslaught on Chaoyang
with artillery, tanks and airplanes,
d esiring to reach Linyuan, to the
southwest, which controls the north
ern auto road leading to Chingth,
the capital.
The japanese denied their main
offensive had started, saying that
the so-called ultimatum to Marking
merely was warning without a
time limit.

HAVANA, Feb. 24-Bombings in
Havana early today, and disruption
OF communication lines between the
capital and principal cities on the
island, led to entirely unconfrmed
reports that revolutionary move
ment had started against the Gu
ban government of President Gerar-
do Machado.
The possibility was seen that reb-
els might have arranged for moral
effect to start an attempt against
the government today the anniver-
sary of the "Grito de Libertad," the
cry for freedom which started the
revolt against Spain in 1895.
A small bomb exploded near the
monument on the Malecon, Havana's

the victims of the battleship Maine
disaster. The ship was blown up
in Havana harbor in 1898.
A dance at the Centre Astrurano,
a Spanish society here, was broken
up by the explosion of several small
bombs.
There was no damake in the ex-

The telephone company was re-
pairing the cut lines rapidly today.
officials said the cuts we're made
with machetes at five different
points in the island, clearly indi-
eating an organized plot.

The Staying of an airplane instructor
as he manipulated his ship a thou
sand feet above the earth and the
suicide of his 21-year- old student
passenger was reconstructed by Off
Gals today
Some said the shooting of Leh-
man Nelson, SO, teacher in a private
flying school, by Erin Mccall, who
killed himself, was cold blooded
murder.
Others said McCall's mind gave
way from disease he contracted
some weeks ago.
The youth, son of a prominent
San Benito family went to the air
port Thursday night for his usual
flying lesson. Those who saw the
takeoff did not see a pistol which
Mccall carried.
Story Told by Farmers
Nelson, as usual, occupied the
front cockpit of the plane, which
had dual controls. Behind him sat
Mccall.
Swiftly gaining altitude. the plane
headed over the open country. A
little later it passed directly above
the home of George Whitsel, a
farmer.
Whitsel, standing in his yard, saw
Nelson's head hanging apparently
llteless over the edge of the cock
pit, he told authorities.
The plane flew on, steadily losing
altitude.
Three miles away it swooped low
over another farm house.
Hear Piercing Scream
Occupants heard piercing
scream, they said, and a moment
later, at terrific speed, the ship
landed on a nearby field.
Nosing over almost as the wheels
touched, the plane was wrecked.
Witnesses saw Mccall, apparently
unhurt, leap from the rear cockpit.
