 -oung Nichols was ready and escorted to the Presidential party and enjoyed the day at the side of the Nations Chief Executive.

 Crowds lined the shores and were seen in all windows of the sky scraperS.
 Pleasure boats by the scores were crowded and lined the course over which the great fleet passed.

 Important Excavation
 The entire summer will be spent in excavation work on what Dr. Hrdlicka terms one of the most important sites yet found in the Territory in terms of cultural evil dence garding the primitive groups which once lived there. These studies and excavations are being carried on in an effort to get information not only on the tools and implements which the ancient inhabitants of Alaska used, but also about who they were, where they came from and what degree of civilization they had att tained.
 When questioned regarding the finding of evidences of Eskimo set dement's around Prince William Sound by the Danish National Mu- scum expedition last summer, pr. Hrdlicka stated that in his opinion, the Eskimos reached that point

PARIS, May 31.-The French government wants Uncle Sam to lead the diplomatic fight against Japan's Asia for Asiatics" policy, spokesmen say. for he has less to lose than other countries.
 France wants Asia's door kept open, and in that she agrees with the United States and Great Brit ain. but she is afraid to say so in loud voice lest the Nipponese take offense and bounce on her rich Asiatic colonies.
 Fears for Colonies

FOREIGN SHIPS BARRED OUT OF. ALASKAN TRADE
H. R. Shepard Tells Cham Der of Barriers Prevent
 ing Service by Them

Two handicaps imposed by law render it impracticable if not alto- gether impossible for Canadian owned steamships to serve Alaska's transportation needs, the Chamber of Commerce was informed today by H. R. Shepard, local agent for the Canadian National Lines. One is insurmountable and the other practically so.
 MT. Shepard said he had tried to arrange for his company to put two vessels on the Alaska run but after inquiries were made he found that this would not be of any as- sistance in bringing relief from the conditions imposed by the Pacific Coast longshoremen's strike.
 Jones Law Handicap
 The barriers encountered by Ca- nadian shipping were stated by him as follows:
 1.-American goods and produce cannot be transported between Canadian ports and Alaskan ports in Canadian-owned and operated vessels.
 2.-Import duties on Canadian products are prohibitive in most in- stances.
 The Merchant Marine Act ol 1920, the so-called Jones Act, abso- lutely prohibits the use of foreign shipping in the coastwise trade be- tween Alaska and British Colum- bia in the haulage of American merchandise. Thus, if foodstuffs grown in Washington, Oregon or California should be shipped to Vancouver for transport to Alaska, it could not be moved out of Van couver except on an American bottom. The same applies to manu- factured goods.
 No Remission of Duty
 There is no manner Tn which inn port levies on foreign merchandise can be set aside by executive order or other administrative action. Sev- eral days ago the Chamber of Commerce sent radiogram to Delegate Dimond asking him to re- quest the President or the Tariff Commission to waive duty during the current crisis.
 Early this week it received a reply from Mir. Dimond saying the relief sought could not be obtained except through a special act of Congress. It is to late now, he add ed, to attempt to get such legisla- tion in time to be of any benefit.
 The president has not the power the set aside the duties and the Tariff Commission has advised the Delegate that it can not leg ally take any remedial action. T thought when I started out that I could get our company to put on two vessels and give us some relief, but I find I'm all wet" MT. Shepard said.
 No. D. s. T. Recommendation
 After it had been informed that the Alaska Juneau and the Juneau Lumber Mills would not adopt that system even if the City Council should formally adopt Daylight Saving Time, the Chamber of Com merce today declined to adopt a

Absent from Senate when Vote WouldHave Clinch-

By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Vice- President Garner missed an oppor- tunity in the Senate recently to pay something "on account" for political favors received from his good friend, William G. McAdoo.
 Whether he purposely passed up the chance only Cactus Jack himself, knows.
 It happened this way:
 Senator McAdoo has been absent from the Senate for some time due to illness. When the bill author izing federal loans to industry came up for consideration, he called on his colleague, Hiram Johnson, to pinch hit for him in an effort to obtain adoption of an amendment in which he was par ticularly interested.

Threats ot Strikes Depress- es Market -Steels Es-

NEW YORK, May 31.-Stocks were depressed today by renewed threats of strikes in the important steel and textile industries.
 Prices declined fractionally to around two points in a dull session, steels leading the downward move ment.
 Today's market close was heavy.
 Cereals Advance
 May and July wheat climbed the full allowance today, a limit of five cents bushel. Oats reached the three cent limit and advance of remaining cereals was almost as strong reflecting the serious drought damage to crops.
 Although the House passed the silver bill, silver futures and bar metal eased.
 Bonds were irregular.
 Steels Decline Bethlehem, National Steel, Unit ed States Steel and Republic pre- ferred dropped about two points. Both U s. and Bethlehem regis tered new lows for the year.
 Losses of fractions to around one point included such shares as Gen. eral Motors, Chrysler, American Can, American Telephone, Allied Chemical, Dupont, Howe Sound American Smelting, Kennecott and many others.

A California Rider

It seems that in a certain part of the city of Los Angeles there is privately owned utility supplying power and light in direct competi- tion with the municipally owned plant.
 It is the desire of the city to purchase the privately owned plant not only to eliminate controver- sies which have arisen continually, but also because cheaper rates can be given the people than those they are now paying.
 McAdoo wanted an amendment attached to the bill which would have authorized the reconstruction
