 COMMERCE PLAN
Trade Centers Manifest h. terest and Expect En-
 tirely New Era

NEW YORK, March 23-(Copy- right by Associated Press)-Hope- ful of real recovery in Information al commerce of the world, trade centers say degree of improve ment may depend mainly on what sort of moves President Roosevelt makes.
 An Associated Press world sur vey shows trade centers manifest much interest in the Presidents tariff bargaining program and ex- press the opinion it may prove to be the cornerstone for revival of world business.
 Those prominent in world busi- ness see an era of economic na- tionalism drawing to a close and perhaps it's replacement by an era of a mutual exchange of products or plain tariff bargaining.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The House Territories Committee to- day favorably reported bills pro- viding for the sale of Government owned houses and lands at An chorage, Alaska, and authorizing the Departments of War, Agricul- ture and Interior to cooperate with the Territory.
 Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said the houses were built for and generally occupied by Government railroad employees.
 Under another measure the Exc cutive departments will be author ized to receive such funds as the Territorial Legislature might ap- propriate for activities in the Ter ritory which come under the jur- isdiction of such departments.

RELIANCE TO CODES MUST BE
 CERTIFIED NOW
No More Public Funds to Be Expended Unless
 Dealers Under MIRA

Instructions received here by the United States Forest Service from Washington indicated widespread action by the Federal Government to insure that public funds ex- pended for supplies and on con- tracts do not go to industries, businesses and individuals who are not complying with NRA codes.
 It was instructed that no pur- chases should be made from any, one not complying with codes to which they are subject. This action was taken in accord with an executive order issued several days ago by President Roosevelt.
 The radiogram to the Forest Service said: Recent executive order requires a certificate from dealers showing they are complying and will continue to comply with each approved code to which they are subject. Dealers must in turn require similar certificates from subcontractors or suppliers." The local authorities were also informed it was probably advisable to post pone purchasing except where they were certain that the provisions of the Presidents order will be strict ly complied with and the dealers agree to sign the certificates.
 The Forest Service has several thousand dollars worth of purchases to make in a short time. This includes shoes, clothing and grocer ies for ECW camps, lumber and other materials for road and trail use. None of it will be expended with firms not showing code com pliance, it was said.

Toe Bierd Pas set Away Shortly Before l l O'Clock
 Last Night at Alaskan

Raymond A. Bierd, who is better known to friends here as Joe Bierd, was found dead in his room at the Alaskan Hotel about II O. clock last night by John Smith, friend who went to MT. Bierds room to see him.
 Death had apparently occurred shortly before, as MT. Smith de- clared the body was still warm when he entered the room. City police were called and the U. s. Marshal's office was notified of the death before the body was remov- ed to the c. w. Garter Mortuary.
 MT. Bierd, who was approxi- mately 40 years old, was seen yesterday afternoon, but was not known to be i'll, according to his friends. Probable cause of his death is said to be heart trouble, according to information given MT Carter.
 The deceased had been a can- nery worker and was employed during the 1893 season by the As toria and Puget Sound Packing Company at Excursion Inlet. He had been engaged to work fol Libby, McNeill and Libby at Taku Harbor during the coming season ood bod haar, cta avi,,u at tba h0- tel for sometime while waiting fol the season to open.
 He is survived by his father, A Bierd and a sister, Ivy M. Bierd both of whom live at Carrollton Michigan, and a brother, Richarc E. Bierd, whose address is 660 w Ewing Street, Seattle The latter has been notified of his brother: death by radio and funeral ar. engagements are awaiting reply.

TENTATIVE PLAN DISCL 0SED BY
 CON NTR0L BOARD
Private Sale Under Regu- lation and License Sys-
 tenn Is to Be Used
S1OO LICENSE TO BE
 REQUIRED OF STORES
Beer and Wines May Be Sold Under Present Beer
 and Wine Licenses

Tentative plans for regula- ti0n and control of the liquor industry in the Territory, not wholly completed, were re- vealed here today as they have been informally discuss ed by those Territorial Of- ficials who will be members of the Board of Liquor Con- tr0l. Private sale under regu- iations and licenses will be the system used.
 The main objectives of the plan are:
 l. To m a k e beer and wines easily available so as to encourage their consump- tion.
 2. To license at a moder- ate figure the sale of ''hard liquor" in original packages, and to impose a small excise tax on it for revenue pur- poses, but not high enough to add materially to the cost of liquor.
 Eliminate Illicit Sale
 Both of these policies are aimed to eliminate the bootlegging fra ternity. It is felt that the matter of price will have a great deal to do with attaining that end. So the board will make no effort to raise a lot of revenue out of high licenses and high excise taxes.
 Places already selling beer and wine under Territorial license, as soon as the new system can be put into effect, can sell any kind of beer and wine, and all brewer or fermented beverages that come under those elassifications, without the payment of any additional li- cense fees and with no excise tax other than that which they now pay on the celebrated three point two. The provisions of the licenses they now hold will simply be ex- tended to cover all beer, ale, porter, stout, and wines of all kinds.
 Hundred Dollar License
 Tentatively at least, it is agreed that liquor will be sold by private business concerns under license. The fee that seems to be most favored is $l00 per year. In addi- tion. it is proposed to impose an excise tax of two or two and one- half per cent, calculated on the invoice price at which the liquor is billed to the merchant.
 Liquor can be sold only in un- broken packages-that is, in the bottle or by the case. The sale by the drink will be absolutely pro- hibited.
 The Board will retain absolute control of the granting of liquor licenses. All applications shall be made to it. The licenses will be issued from the office of Frank A. Boyle, Territorial Auditor. Any reputable business estab- lished for one year can obtain g license. However. applicants will be required to obtain the approval of the City Council of the com munity in which they desire to do business, or to have the endorse ment of 100 legal voters on a peti- ton or certificate.
 Public Stores Impossible
 While members of the Board, it is known. did give some considera- ton to the establishment of public stores for the sale of distilled liquors, 1t was finally concluded that this was not possible under the law that created it. It was petitioned to delegate it's authority to municipalities so they could open municipal stores.

Robles Family Hoping To Es-
tablish New Contact With
Girls Kidnapers.

Tucson, AriZ., May 10. UP)-The
family of June Robles, kidnapped
schoolgirl, was believed today to
have established further contact
with the abductors within the last
"a hours.
1t was learned that last night, for
the first time since the kidnapping
two weeks ago, Fernando Robes, her
father, did not make a trip over
desert roads as instructed in a note
demanding $4,000 ransom delivered
the afternoon June was seized on
her way home from school,
Officers said this indicated new
instructions had been received fol-
lowing delivery of a note Tuesday
This note, slipped under the office
door of County Attorney Clarence
Houston, answered certain questions
to which June alone could reply.
These questions, propounded in
an appeal to the kidnaperS more
than a week ago, were:
What do you do with your bun
MES in the morning?
where is your little box with the
key in it?
What is the name of Bettina's
maid?
What do you call Corney?"
The grief-stricken parents seizee
upon this message as the first indis.
putable proof since she was kidnap
ed April 25 that June is alive.
The message, found in the prose
cutor's office, was said to have beer
in the same illiterate Handwriting
as that of the note delivered tt
Fernando Robles within an hou
after his daughter was kidnapped.
The investigation here was at {
standstill. Department of justice
agents appeared to be maintaining
policy of watchful waiting in ex'
pectation that some new develop
ment might arise.
