all types of clothes for men, women and children, the largest demand is for warm work clothing for men. The supply of this type of cloth ing has been fairly adequate until recently and now new supplies are badly needed
 Need fer Work Clothes
 The greatest need of the depot at present is work trousers, work shirts, shoe packs. mackinaws. and warm underwear, Mrs. Housel said, and any garments of this type will be greatly appreciated by the club welfare department The commit tee is particularly anxious that people know that whole suits arc not necessary but that single gar ments. trousers, shirts CT coats, are gladly accepted.
 From the requests received, indi- cations are that men with families have been more careful in planning for the winter than bachelors. The greatest number of applicants for clothes are bachelore who have al- ways been able to obtain work, heretofore, and have never until now needed the assistance of char ity.
 Open Two Days
 The depot has been open every Tuesday and Thursday forenoon sincs it started three months ago.
 In addition to old clothes, the welfare department has dispensed bread furnished by various Juneau bakeries and skinned milk from the Juneau Dairy to as many as the supply can accommodate.

Refuses to Enjoin School
Boards Slashes

CHICAGO-(FP)-An injunction to
restrain the Chicago board of educa-
ton from putting in effect its robot
plan of schooling has been denied by
the circuit court. The ruling is ex-
pected to be appealed by the attor-
neys for the parents of school chill
dren who made the application for the
injunction.
The court took the position that the
board was in such financial straits
that the slashes of $5,OOO,O 900 pro
posed for the next school year are
justified. Forty civic organizations
and huge mass meetings have pro-
tested this attempt by the big-busi-
ness men of Chicago to impose slave
education on workers children while
their own offspring go to good schools
in the suburbs or have private tutors.
Gov. Horner has said that he can do

1000 True Tales Are
Condensed Into One
Powerful Film Hit

A thousand stories concentrated
into one drama will be unfolded on
the screen Of the Paramount Thea
tire Thursday and Friday. 1t is the
First National picture. Twenty
Thousand Years in Sing Sing said
to be in many ways the most remark
able dramatization Of human emo
tons ever attempted.
The screen play is taken from the
book by Warden Lewis E. LaWes. Of
Sing Sing prison, at Ossining, New
York. and While it deals with grim
facts, has been hailed as a realistic
document that is far more fascinat-
ing than the most colorful fiction.
Warden LaWes is the one and prob
ably only man who has looked so
deeply into the innermost hearts of
prison inmates that he could draw so
vivid picture of the human side of
the man beyond the law. He has
been sitting on the lid of a human
volcano at Sing Sing for many years
and knows from intimate association
the powerful passions that stir the
criminal SOUL His is a story of 1000
men without women and 1000 wo-
men that wait without for their men
they can't live without.
The picture condenses into one
story the most dramatic and spec
tacular incidents in his career as
warden. These include the humorous
and the romantic side of the prison.

the grim tragedies in the lives Of the

President is reported to have answered
that such an effort would be really
appreciated by the people of this coun-
try and would go a long way to solve
many Of the difficult outstanding prob
lens, including the final settlement of
the debt problem.

put his point of view over with his

difficult time to convince the other
members of the advisability of paying
a part of the installment.
Macdonald May Win.
Macdonald is trying at present to
convince his colleagues of the sincerity
of Mr.. Roosevelt's aims and is pointing
out that in order to make it easier for
the debtor nations to meet their obli-
cations the President has persuaded
Congress to accept payment in silver
or in their national currencies, which,
even taking into account the fall of
the dollar, are still greatly deprecated
that in the end the British premier
will win the battle and Great Britain
will meet at least part of the June
payments.
In regard to the other nations, with
the exception Of Italy, which it is be-
heved will pay the S14,000,000 it owes on
June Is if Great Britain pays too, there
Is not the slightest hope that any of
them will meet their obligations.
The French chamber has decided not
to pay cent until there is final dras-
tic scaling down Of the debts The
other debtor nations unofficially have
informed the State Department that
they canrot pay the June insallment
even If they were permitted to meet this
payment in the currency of their own
country Their budgets, they informed
the Acting Secretary of State, cannot
carry such an additional burden.

The French government objected to an
early draft of the pact which proposes
the cooperation of France, Great

on the grounds that it would form a
new realignment of European powers
not in the best interests of Poland and
the French little entente allies. An

SENATORS TO ACT
ON DISTRICT BILL
Conferees to Decide on Course
Regarding Dispute With
House.

Senate conferees on the 1884 District
appropriation bill, headed by Senator
Thomas, Democrat Of Oklahoma, are
scheduled to go into executive session
this afternoon to decide what their
future course should be on the several
important issues in the bill that have
kept it tied up in conference for sew
eral weeks.
The main points of difference be-
tween the House and Senate groups are
the questions Of what the Federal Gov
ernment's share of next years expenses
should be, and whether the District
should be required to make another
ST 100000 reimbursement to the Federal
Government in 1884 on account of
advances for carrying out the Capper-
Cramton park program, in view of the
fact that further expenditures toward
the program have been halted for the
time being.
House Opposes Increase.
With regard to the Federal contribu-
ton, the House members are under
stood to have been adamant against
any increase in the lump sum of
S5,700,000 carried in the House bill
when the last joint meeting Of the
conferees was held three weeks ago
The Senate bill placed the Federal
share at S6,250,000, and at the last
conference an offer is said to have been
suggested from the Senate group to
compromise at 100000. That meet
ing ended without an agreement and
since then there have been no new
developments. The House members
also are understood to be standing
Senate on the park refund payment.
Four Schools Included.
The House bill contained no school
construction projects. The Senate put
in four school building items made
provision for beginning new Calvert
street bridge and liberaliZed the bill in
several other respects to avoid hard
ships that would have faced the munic-
ipal government under the cuts IN
operating expenses made by the Budget
Bureau and the House
1t has been indicated that the House
members would agree to two of the
school building projects, to the Calvert
Senate changes if the Senate would
yield to the House on the major issues
of the Federal contribution and on the
100000 park refund.
Federal Share Slashed.
The Federal contribution for the cur
rent year is Sits 900, which repre-
sented a deep slash below the previous
figure of $9,500,000 If the House
figure in the pending bill should pre-
vail, it would mean a slash of $2,075,-
600 below the current lump sum. Even
if the House accepted a compromise
for next year of $4,000 900, it would
be reduction of S1,775,000 below the
current payment.
The meeting today will be an IN
formal gathering of the Senate mem
berS only, to determine what course
they should pursue in further joint
conferences In addition to Chairman
Thomas, the Senate conferees are Sen
ators Glass, Democrat of Virginia;
King, Democrat of Utah; Nye, Repub-
lican of North Dakota, and Keyes,
Republican of New Hampshire.

MILWAUKEE,, June IA Staying and
a suicide on the campus of Milwaukee
Downer College, exclusive school for
girls, today followed an automobile ac-
cident near Waukesha in which one
man was killed and two young women
seriously injured. The tragedies fol-
lowed a party at Waukesha Beach.
The dead:
Leonard Nelson. 20. a janitor, who
police said shot himself.
Gustave Peterson, 27, also a janitor,
said by authorities to have been shot
by Nelson.
Alvin Nelson, 81, Irma, Wis, who
died of injuries suffered in an accident
near Waukesha.
The injured were jeanette RoSZak, IT,

of Alvin. Both girls were passengers in

private industry do not meet this need
They assume that the difficulty we face
is primarily failure of credit facilities
But, except in brief periods of panic,
there are ample credit facilities.
The real trouble is that business has no
prospects when consumer demand is
dried up. Public construction will
create a pay roll for about 5000, 900
men and woman, which will be translat-
ed into a rapid demand for consumer
goods and thus lead to general indus
trial revival"
Incidentally, he maintained the public
outlays will stimulate private investment
through business taking advantage of
opportunities opened by new traffic
arteries etc.
Early Passage Forecast.
Predictions were forthcoming from
the Democratic side of the Senate that
the sales tax amendment would be de-
feated and that the measure would re-
ceive final approval within few days
The sales tax has been beaten every
time so far in the House and Senate
and the leaders appeared not to be wor-
ried.
Democratic Senators Walsh Of Mas
sachusetts and Byrd of Virginia also
were considering offering a sales tax in
place of the House provision extending
for another year the existing excise or
so-called nuisance" taxes, which bring
in over $500 1000, 900 in revenue.
While Chairman Harrison was fore
casting defeat of all sales tax proposals,
a flood of proposed amendments poured
into the hopper They included one by
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho to
strike out the provision authorizing re-
taxation Of antitrust laws to allow in
dustries to adopt codes of fair competi-
ton regarding wages, reduction and
hours of work.
Borah did not say why he proposed
this elimination. Advocates Of the bill
said, however, it would destroy the
whole purpose of the bill.
In a statement urging approval Of
the legislation, Senator Walsh said the
powers proposed to be delegated to the
President were those of "a dictator,
ordinarily repugnant to the American
people and contrary to the concepts of
freedom and democracy, upon which
our Repuhlic was founded.n
