 Freight for Juneau
 The Victoria had 312 tons of freight for Juneau, which required part of II hours to unload, besides 12,000 feet of lumber brought up from Wrangell.
 When she left Seattle, the steam CT had the biggest cargo she had eyer carried with the exception of the first and last voyages to Nome each year It was the largest for the Southeast Alaska route. Twen- ty-five hundred tons were packed so tightly in the hold and on deck that there was scarcely room for another pound.
 One reason for the delay in reaching Juneau was the layover of 30 hours in Ketchikan neces- sary for the unloading of $50 tons of cargo billed for that port. The Vlctorla also spent between seven and eight hours each in Peters burg and Wrangell. i's< aT

in the trial of DR.. Alice Lindsay
Wynekoop, charged with the bi-
zarre, operating-table murder of
her daughter-in-law, Rheta.
The 63-year-old physicians face
was like a death mask as, in the
closing phases of her ordeal, she
was carried to the witness stand
to answer few final questions by
Defense Attorney w. w. Smith.
Prosecutor Charles S. Dough-
erty Immediately began marshall
ing his rebuttal witnesses. Among
them was one who has not ap-
peared before-Assistant States
Attorney John M. Long, whom
DR.. Wynekoop claims assisted in
"tricking" her into making a

PAID B|SCHOFF
Prosecutor Seen on Acts of
Lorton Manager; Legality
Up For a Ruling

Possibility that the District Com
missioners may take action in the
investigation of Lorton Reforma-
tory before the end of the public
hearings appeared strong today, as
Commissioner George E. Allen
called for a transcript of Satur-
days testimony.
Mr.. Allen wishes to study the
testimony of j. E. C. Bischoff, bust
ness manager of Lorton, in regard
to fees he admitted receiving for
services to certain business firms
which at one time or another have
furnished material or equipment
to Lorton.
Law Is Being Studied
The committee on penal and
correctional institutions Of the
Board Of Public Welfare, which is
conducting the probe, today is
comforting with the office of the
United States Attorney to deter
mine If there is any statutory bar
to such transactions.
Mr.. Allen refused to comment
on the case until he has studied
the testimony. Likewise, Melvin
c. Hazen, president Of the Board
Of District Commissioners, re-
mained silent. Mr.. HaZen said,
however, that he will go over the
transcript with Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Bischoff's testimony was
given after the committee had
h card Edward Bedell, former
prisoner at Lorton, who charged
that graft was common at the re-
formatory. Mr.. Bischoff admitted
having received fees from business
houses, but said that they were in
payment for services performed
while he was on leave from Lorton
and that officials at the institu-
ton knew about the transactions.
Defended BY Officials
Other Distinct officials were
quick to defend Mr.. BiSchoff,
whom they described as an un-
usually efficient manager.
The hearings were slated to re-
open this afternoon, when it is
expected that Capt. M. M. Bar
nard. superintendent of penal in
stitutions, will be called to the
stand.

Some of the high lights Of
President Roosevelt's speech today
follow:
"The real truth Is that for a
number Of years in our country
the machinery of democracy
failed to function"
"Operations Of government
had fallen into the hands of
special groups. led by people
who undertook to obtain certain
special advantages for special
classes. led by a handful Of
individuals who believed in
their Super-human ability to re-
tain in their own hands the en-.
tire business and financial con-
troll over the economic and So
cial structure of the nation"
"The National Industrial Re
cOvery Act was drawn with the
greatest good for the greatest
number in mind"
"The very conception of the
NRA follows the democratic
procedure of our Government
itself. Its theory Of Self-regula-
ton follows the American
method rather than any Of the
experiments being tried in other
nations"
1--WE cannot tolerate abuses
Of economic power. We have
arrived at the time for taking
stock for correcting manifest
errors, for roofing our dem
onStrated evils"
g.. Never again will we al
low the social conditions
which allowed the vast Sec
tionS of our population to
exist in an un-American way,
which permitted a mal-diS-
tribution of wealth and OF
power"
"Think back exactly one
year ago today. You know
where the banks stood at that
time; you know where your
own business Stood"
'Let US consolidate our
gains"
"The critic is unpatriotic who
contents himself with loudly
proclaiming that that way, that
method is no good: that 1t
won't work; that is wrong to
do this. This critic contributes
nOthing-he is not cOnstruc-
tive; he is unpatriOtic because
he attempts to destroy without
even suggesting 3 way to
build up"
Zone thing is very certain,
we are not going back either
to the old conditions or to the
old methods"

D|RKSEN URGES
BANK BILL AS
BUSINESS AID
Mcleod Measure Would Bene-
fit Whole Country at Minor
Cost, He Says

Passage of the Mcleod bank
relief bill would promote recovery
more than any other thing done
by the Seventy-third Congress. in
the opinion of Representative
Everett M. Dirksen (RD of Illinois.
The Mcleod bill authorizes the
RFC to take over all assets of
closed national banks and of State
banks which were members Of the
Federal Reserve System last
March 4. The corporation would
then return to depositors accounts
now frozen"
Asked Committee Q. K.
Mr.. Dirksen already has ap-
peared before the RFC subcom.
mittee of the House Banking and
Currency Committee in support Of
the measure.
Mr.. Dirksen pointed out that
there are more closed national
banks in Illinois than in any other
State, so he feels he knows some
thing about the crisis now faced
NY OdIlho IA4OuSAlOuG Gk1c COuIlG4y
In Illinois there are 1859 closed
national banks. and in New York
only SO, he said.
Feels Losses Justified
The Representative does not
agree with Representative Clar-
ence j. Mcleod (R.O of Michigan
author of tn bill, when the latter
says the RFC will not lose any
money, but he adds:
81 believe there will be some
loss, but 1 do not believe that
should stand in the way when
more than $45O,OOO,OOO is 60
ing into the SO-called prOduc-
tive class for construction prof
ects.
Through this bill you would
benefit all communities and If
there were a loss it could be
properly absorbed as a part of
the Administration's expense in
attaining national recovery"

U. S. Needs Help
The President emphasized his
appeal to industry to reemploS
more workers with the blunt
statement that the Federal Gov
ernment cannot forever continue
to absorb the whole burden of un-
employment. He said:
"AlI the information receive
leads me to the inescapable
conclusion that we must now
consider immediate cooperation
to secure increase in wages and
shortening Of hours.
Reduction in hours coupled
with q decrease in weekly
wages will do no good at all,
for it amounts only to a forced
contribution to unemployment
relief by the class least able to
bear it."
Generally speaking, the Presi,
dent said, industry and business
have cooperated Loyalty with the
Government.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked special con-
sideration for the little fellow
in the operation of the codes.
He declared:
1--WE must set up every safe
guard against eraSing the small
operator from the economic
Scene."
The industrialists were warned
that the collective bargaining sec
ton of the NRA means just what
it says.
Free Choice" Means That
He appealed to them as EN-
ployers to observe the spirit as
we'll as the letter of the law in
this respect. He said:
"The law itself has provided
for free choice of their own
representatives by e m p yes.
Those two words free choice
mean just what they say"
The first eight months of the
NRA constituted a period Of ex
perimentation, he said, and con
tinued:
"FOr that reason we have
been tolerant of certain mis-
understandings even when they
resulted in evasiOns of the spirit
II not the letter Of the law.
'tNOw we are moving into .
period of administration when
that which is law must be made
certain and the letter and the
spirit must be fulfilled"
Mr.. Roosevelt concluded by
inviting a comparison between
conditions a year ago and con-
ditions today.
He read q telegram from
Francis M. Law, president of the
American Bankers Association,
which described the banking
situation as sound and LIQUID
and general business conditions
