ALASKA-HAWAII. ASKS DELEGATE
 TO U. 5. SENATE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec B. Delegate A. J. Dimond of Alaska and Lincoln l.. McCandless of Hawaii today announced that they would introduce a bill at the coming ses- sion of congress to give their terri tories representation in the senate.
 The bill now is in process of drafting, it was announced by the delegates, who said that it would call for election of two delegates from each territory one to sit in the senate and the other in the house. The new delegates would have access to the senate floor in the same manner as present dele gates participate in house pro ceedings.
 Delegate Dimond said that the interests of the two territories are so great that one man cannot pos sibly keep in touch with all mat ters pertaining to his district and that as a result many of the small CT matters are forced to wait for action because of the press of larg- CT issues. This situation, he pre- dicted, could be remedied with two delegates.

CWA Program Gives
 Street Work 10 Eleven

Town work under the CWA pro- gram started Monday morning, with eleven laborers working under the direction of Willard Jenkins. Their task consists of widening the grade along Church Street between Episco- Street and Mccormack Avenue. The old board street, which was badly in need of repair, has been torn up and the grade raised and widened to twenty feet. Ditches on each side provide proper drainage.
 The two town trucks are being used to haul gravel from the Dar- we'll property at the head of the bay to make the fill. The soil packs firmly and the trucks are able to drive over it without laying blanks. Gravel for the surfacing will be se- cured from a newly discovered gray el deposit about four miles from town on the Wrangell Highway, it was learned today.
 According to word received by Mayor Dalgity, no man on the job may worK more than 30 hours in seven consecutive days. The work will be staggered at two-week in teryals, thus affording a chance for others in need of work to receive

 The fact that both doors were found locked led many in the crowd to believe that the children had been removed from the house, but when Hernandez came from the beach where he was saving wood he told the firemen he thought the children were still in the building. Lloyd entered by the front door, fol- lowed by the father. Neither one was able to locate the children and the smoke and flames soon drove them back into the open air.
 All doubt as to the children's whereabouts was dispelled when the mother, a young Native, ran up and asked where the children were. By this time the flames were we'll under control and the smoke less dense. Lloyd again entered by the front door and found the baby ly- ing in its crib under the window. The two older children were discoy- cred under the table in the kitchen where they evidently had crawled when the stove exploded. A doll was lying on the floor beside them.
 Funeral services for the three children will be held at the Roman Catholie Church at 10 o'clock Sat urday morning. Interment will be made at Redmen's Cemetery.

U. S. TO COLLECT LIQUOR
 TAX DIVIDE WITH STATES

The administration has opened way for congress to establish national taxation system by which the fed eral government will collect the revenues and divide them between the nations treasury, states and political subdivisions.
 The intercommittee set up by President Roosevelt to study alcoho- lie beverage taxation suggested to congress that 20 per cent of the total federal receipts on liquor be returned to the states to prevent double levies in this line.
 officials and members of congress say that the suggestion was made with the plan of calling a special session for the purpose of elimina- ating not only double taxation of liquor, but that of other commodities and articles.
 With the growth of duplicating taxes by federal, state, county and municipal governments, the question is being given serious consideration by both administrative and con- gressional quarters.
 Since the federal government is financing out of its treasury thou sands of state. municipal and county projects,the belief is grow ing that the central government should collect the taxes.

THREG TOTS LOCKED IN HOUSE ALONE
 BURN TO DEATH AS STOVEEXPLODES

A fire of undetermined origin gut ted the two-room dwelling of MT. and Mrs. Antonio Hernandez early Thursday afternoon, causing the death of their three children, Julia, aged four, Antonio, aged two, and the year-old baby Juanita. Quick action by the Wrangell Fire De- partment checked the flames but smoke issuing from the doors and windows retarded the work of res cue.
 The smallest child was found in it's crib near the front window, the other two under the kitchen table. All are believed to have died almost instantly from asphyxiation. The parents were away when the fire started and both the front and rear doors were locked.
 the first to enter the burning house, believes that the fire was caused by the combustion of coal gas from the heater in the front room. Both doors of the stove were open and the lid had apparently been blown from the top.
 Alarm by Phone
 The fire was observed about the same time by Mrs. Arnt Sorset and Mrs. Lloyd, who live a short dis tance from the Patenaude house which the Hernandez family occu- pied. The alarm was given by tele- phone and the fire truck manned

HARRINGTON STALKS BIG GAME
 HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS

Returningfrom a flying trip to New York, the Happy Hunting Grounds" for Alaskan mining men, Captain Syd Harrington arrived in Seattle last week with word that the Cheechakos who inhabit the cliff dwellings in the financial district of Manhattan are placing their bets only on sure thing
 All the New York crowd are talking gold and gold mining, but as usual they are. playing a sure thing game" Harrington told the Alaska Weekly reporter. They want developed mine that is producing gold right now, and would rather Duy stock in a proposition with an assured production than take a chance on bringing in live one and making it all. I've heard that New York was the home of the sucker--but boy, that's mistake. Little Old Gotham is the home of the sure-thinger, and make no mis- take about that. They are willing to give you everything the hen lays but the egg-they want that for setting purposes.
 However, 1 was just having a look around, so their attitude meant little or nothing to me. All I want to be sure of is that there is no slump in the price of gold, and I'm away. I honestly believe that I have the best free gold proposition that has been uncovered in the North in years and expect to prove it this coming summer.
 Push Work Next Season
 Were going to get crew on the ground the first thing in the spring, and if the ground holds up anything like it looks now, we'll have a mill on it before mid-sum- mer. It's right on the river, and a cinch to get to.
 up on the Clearwater we have been working the drag-line, and doing all right. Boulders bothered us bit, but I believe we have that problem solved now, and I expect to take out some pretty fair money there next summer, but that quartz baby is the homestake-if that isn't the money, then I'll quit mining, and figure I'll die with a pick and shovel in my hand because at last I've got a real quartz mine"

BY PAUL MAY
Special washington Correspondent Of The Citlaen


WASHINGTON, July 2O-Representatives OF
the Monroe County Road and Toll Bridge District, in
Washington i'm the interests of the proposed Overseas
Bridge project will attempt to carry the case directly
to Secretary Harold Ickes administrator of Public
Works, without waiting for appointment of an adj
visory board to consider the matter it was learned
today. NJ
Under routine procedure, applications for self
quidating loans will be referred to an advisory COM
mission board members of which have not yet been
appointed. This board will be similar to the advisory
board which handled such matters for the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation
Proponents of the Florida bridge project, how
ever have taken the position that since the Overseas
Bridge loan application considered by the RFC,
and vOuminous report prepared, it is in position
to ask and receive consideration directly by the Pub
lie Works administrator Precedent for this pro-
cedure has already been established when % indi-
vidual loans to municipalities for new waterw0rks
systems were approved last week, they point out
Ii Ickes should take the position that because the
Bridge Commission is technically, new applicant,
the matter should go through the prescribed formai
ties several weeks may be required to get final de-
cison 1t is this delay which it is sought to avoid by
seeking to place the application directly before the
administrator.

Unhappy Ending The Story Of Mary And Doug
Film Rungs In Fame Ladder--- What Of The Future?
ssseeessssseeeeos.ss
tBy Associated Prcssl


HOLLYWOOD, July 2O.-Doug
and Mary-what of their futures?
Mary is going to keep on work
ing in pictures-there seems no
doubt about that. Of Douglas
plans even a speculative Holly
wood is not as sure as usual.
Even though they are married,
Mary has her own company,
Douglas has his. Only for one
picture were their interests merg-
ed-their co-starring film, "The
Tanning of the Shrew."
Before he sailed to Europe the
last time, Doug was warm" on
story of modern Robin Hood
like character with Chinese back
ground, the film to be made in
China. This idea was virtually
abandoned.
Considered Remaking Hits
Another that caught his fancy
was the plan to remake two of
his earlier successes, "The Mark
of Zorro" and "Don Q. Son of
Zorro" These, if filmed, would
mark a reversion to the swash-
buckling costume dramas which
were the athletic stars delight,
along with such pictures as '"The
Gaucho."
His last of the costume type,
pretentious and ornate, was "The
Iron Mask" Since that was
made, Doug has made two pictures
besides his feature travelog.
Reaching for the Moon" was
modern comedy drama, and "Mr.
Robinson Crusoe" was adventure
comedy.
There has been talk that he
thought of turning producer, per-
haps after a couple Of pictures
more. Another report has had it
that he was tired of films and
wanted to do nothing more than
continue his extensive travels.
Mary Still Pursues Career
Mary, on the other hand, APP
pears as full of fight for her
career as ever. In pictures since
1909-she was born in 1893
she has remained before the pub
