Captive" and THE Sex Fable" M.
Bourdets standing as writer of smart
dialogue used to embellish plots of in
ventiveness and originality caused the
Paris critics to hail him as the leading
present-day writer for the stage.
The play has to do with the practices
of publishers and authors as applied to
the promotion of best sellers" Its a
racket" says M. Bourdet. He treats
It from a humorous standpoint and
if there's a word in French which
would fit the case it would be kid
That is what he does to the literary
lights, their aspirations, their temIera-
ments and their love affairs. F. Cowles
Strickland is directing the play for Mr..
Shubert.

TO OVERTHROW FOUR -DAY-0LD
 JUNTA REGIME
Third Revolt Planned in Havana-P Precautions
 Are Being Taken
200 OFFICERS ARE
 HELD AS PRISONERS
Several Arrests Are Made Tn Connection with An
 other Rumored Plot

HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 9.-Rumb- lings of possible coup against the four -day-old Cuban Junta, it. selt a product of a revolt, grew as 200 Army officers were held vir- tual prisoners in the National Ho- tel today.
 The officers, leaders under the deposed de Cespedes regime, had convened to consider their course when several companies of heav- fly armed soldiers swooped down on the hotel and surrounded it with machine guns.
 Batista Command
 Fulgencio BatiSta, one-time top- Sergeant, now in command of the Army, gave the officers a certain number of hours to obey his or ders that they return to their posts from which they were evict- ed last Monday when he lead the revolt that established a Com mission form of Government.
 The officers said: We do not recognize this government and let the Commissioners get out"
 Officers Defiant
 Reports were received by the Commission that the officers, some of whom still count on the loy- alty of their units planned to at tack the Presidential Palace. The officers said they were prepared Go sell their lives dearly if efforts were made tc arrest them or send them back to duty at the points of guns.
 Another Plot
 Other rumors, not verified, but generally taken as explanations for the course of events, were that Horacio Ferrera, Secretary of War under de Cespedes; Julia San gully and other of high rank, plot to unseat the Leftist Com mission and replace it with de Cespedes and his Cabinet or by some concentration of government. Several arrests are reported, in- dicating that other plot to over- throw the present Government These plots are acting, it is said on behalf of former President Mario Menocal.

WASHINGTON, Sept. g.

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. - The United States Treasury tried something new yesterday and the American gold miners remunera- tion for his product jumped more than 43 per cent to almost $50 an ounce all as the result of the recent Executive Order from Pres ident Roosevelt.
 Acting under the Presidents edict in releasing newly mined gold from the rigid order forb Id din g exports of the precious metal, the Treasury Department officials oo- tained quotations from the worlds principal markets, filled several sheets Of paper with figures and emerged with the announcement that domestic arts and crafts industries and professions licensed to receive gold for use in their business may buy it today for $29.62 an ounce"
 This was gain TOT the goiu miner as previously he had only one market for his product, the United States Mint and there had been a set price for years of S2O.67 an ounce.
 Before America dropped the Gold Standard the world price hovered in the vicinity of the U. s. Minus price, but since the decline in the dollars value abroad, the price of an ounce of gold in foreign markets fluctuated in the neigh borhood of $50.
 Has First Call
 The domestic market has the first call on the free gold supply and the highest current work price is taken as the basis. From tnls figure, shipping charges, assay fees. insurance and cost of hand ling will be deducted and the re- suit is the gold price.

EXTENSION OF FALL FISHING
 TO BE STUDIED
Wingard May Recommend Additional Time Re-
 views Major Activities

Although the major activities of the salmon fishing industry for the current year are definitely ended, canning probably will be resumed by a number of canners during the Fall season that opens October 1, and is slated to end Is days later. This was made known today by L. G. Wingard, Alaska Agent of the United States Bu- reau of Fisheries, who said sev- eral Ketchikan plants plan to op- crate then, using almost ex- clusively. local. cannery labor and fishermen.
 Owing to the fact that the sea- son is too short to make such operations profitable, MT. Wingard has under consideration recom- mending an extension, he said. T feel, and am making study of the situation at the present time, " he said, that a longer season might possibly be granted partic- ularly for the benefit of local la bor in the plants and for local fishermen"
 Chums and COh0es
 By the first of next month, the pink run will have cleared the waters open to fishing This will make it feasible for the seiners to take the late run of chums and echoes, without affecting the hum pies at all. An extention of the Fall season would be of material benefit to hundreds of local resi- dents.
 So far as is known none of the operators in this district contem- plate fall canning.
 Pack Is Short
 The pink salmon pack of the entire Coast is under the average this year. The Alaska pack is several hundred thousand below 1881, about 100000 cases below last year. The Puget Sound pack is probably 500,000 short. The carry over from last year was wiped out when the new pack reached the market. It is estimated that the pink supply on hand for market ing now is at least 100000 cases below normal.
 In view of this condition, reports to the Bureau of Fisheries said, many of the packers are not put ting pink fish on the market. Opening prices have been delayed. Current quotations are around $1.20 a dozen and the opening price is expected to be SIPS for the more widely advertised brands and possibly five cents lower for the unadvertised goods.
 Escapement Is Adequate
 'The short pack in Alaska does not represent any shortage in fish, but rather is due to the fact that large number of canneries did not operate at all," MT. Win gard pointed out The escape ment generally was described as satisfactory and adequate for the opening requirements for two years from now.
 Personal surveys of streams were made by MT. Wingard in several of the more important streams in the Icy Straits region, the Western district, the Southern dis trict and North Prince of Wales Island district. He found spawn ing fish in abundance. Wardens and other Bureau employees, mak- ing similar investigations in oth- CT localities found identical con- ditions to exist. Unless we have some unusually heavy freshets dur ing the early Fall months, we ought to have very efficient re- turn in '1935 from this seasons escapement," he declared. Con

was accelerated, too, because the Mint act of 1792 undervalued gold at the ratio Of Is to 1 and little of it was minted Silver disap- peared as fast as it was minted because the new dollars were in demand for trade with the Spanish possessions.
 One of the first results of the chartering of the second bank in 1916 had been to force the state banks to contract their note issues and curtail their loans to get on a specie basis. The bank also attempted to control the note issue of the state banks. These policies nearly precipitated crash in 1919.
 Old Hostility Persisted
 The second bank inherited some hostility left by the first bank which had been abolished in 1911.
 But most of Jacksons cabinet was against his plan of withdraw ing government deposits to the

 The gaunt old general still suf- fering from wounds received in a duel and from general debility as a result of his military service, held to his course.
 The bank difficulties, and the specie circular" of 1886, coupled with government financial transac- tions, led to the panic of 1887. The specie circular" represented Jacksons hard money policy, because it required the payments for public lands to be made in specie. and was therefore a drastic curtailment of credit in the West.
 But despite the clouds that were gathering in 1926 the peo- pie elected Jackson's chosen sue cessor, Martin Van Buren.
