Leading Lumber Man Dead After
 Years Of Service
(By The Associated Press)

iby He hSSOC1dIeu fIeSSD
 BROOKVILLE, Pa, March 20th- Anthony Wayne Cook, aged seventy five, one of the nations leading lumbermen, died here today.
 He was the center of a nationwide storm after his Alaska Pacific Rail road and Terminal Company sought to build from the Northwest, tapp- ing Alaskan mineral riches.
 Rival interest struggled to pre- vent his move which resulted in a leading issue during the bull-moose presidential campaign, when Clifford Pinchot advocated the closing of public lands to private profit
 The government later barred cap ital from Alaska fields and the rail project was abandoned.
 Cooks Pennsylvania, Washington, Oregon, West Virginia and Mary land lumber business turned out one billion five hundred million feet of lumber every eight hours, during the height of his career.

Cats In Fight Over
 The Picture Man
 Blown Sidewalk

SYRACUSE, N Y, Feb.-Two fe- male cats were strolling contentedly down Comstock avenue in Syracuse New York, enjoying the brief mom- ent of sunshine one afternoon re- gently, when a brisk wind drew the picture of man into their path, says the Syracuse Daily Orange. Both females immediately came to standstill and gazed at the picture
 One boldly put her paw on the picture, pinning it to the sidewalk, and the other, also claiming posses sion followed suit Within split second they were at each other, and a fierce struggle ensued.. The fight stopped about a minute later when the picture was in shreds. Then, satisfied that the other had lost the man, the two females continued their stroll "All of which proves that co-eds are not the only ones who will fight to keep their men,, the writer.

 } C l S s or s

Toronto, - Ernest B Roberts, who spent l9 ways trying to reform the worlds spelling, said the word ''scis- sors' could be spelled more than 596,OO0 different ways, He did not list them
 A "loose system" like English which permitted such levity in the spelling was to be scorned he said.
 Roberts used the word as an ex- ample in advocating his "spel-rid- ryt' system, which he believes should be adopted. "Spel-rid-ryt' means spell, read, write in the Roberts modernized language.
 There is nothing sillier than our English spelling, he asserted "Ov- CT 10000 of our everyday newspap- CT words are hard to spell under the systemless system our children have to grind through.
 All those whose mother tongue is English are handicapped.

The waters of the sea, washing against the huge pile of tailings had wash ed away much of the lighter sands and other material, and concentrat- ed the gold which had gone over in the tailings This gold easily was recovered and Anderson was re- warded for his enterprise.
 MT Anderson was in the Yukon and other interior points in early days, and has had much experience in placer as well as hard rock min ing

LABOR BOARD WEAK,
CHAIRMAN ADMITS
Enforcement Powers Broken
Down, Says Biddle, Pleading
for Law Revision.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, January 26.-The
chairman of the National Labor Re
Jations Board said today, II think the
enforcement feature of my board has
broken down.
"It ought to be strengthened, let's
admit it," said Chairman Francis Bid
die in an address before the Ninth
District Regional Labor Board.
AS practical position, he declared
the Blue Eagle is dead bird, but 1t
has great value as a. moral symbol.
N. r. A. brought about psychologi-
cal improvement in industry by max
ing labor feel it can have its day in
court, Biddle said.
A preservation of this spirit, he OBJ
served, depends on the strengthening
Of enforcement powers vested in his
board.
Describing collective bargaining as
a machinery for settling disputes, -
Biddle added that 'if we are, as
believe, engaged in the beginning of
a somewhat more controlled economy,
we must endeavor to create a func-
tional machinery to preserve our ira
ditional and historic rights of con-
tract.
"If the machinery and theory of
collective bargaining breaks down,
we are faced with the inevitable be-
ginning of compulsory arbitration and
government dictation-for which the
country is not prepared.

LEVY ON 'BOOK|ES'
AND BEER LIKELY
Democratic AssembIymen
Plan New Revenue to Avoid
Income Tax.
BY GEORGE PORTER.
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, January 26-Impo-
sition Of taxes on beer and book
makers appeared likely as Demo-
cratic members of the General As
sembly continued their study OF
sources of new revenue to meet Mary
lands emergency needs.
The two proposals have gained In
favor among the lawmakers, who
have viewed developments of the past
few days as signs that they will not,
as they feared, be forced to enact
either a State sales tax or a State
income tax.
Encouraged by this outlook, Demo-
cratic leaders who in the near future
will formulate tax program of their
own In place Of the list of "sug-
gestions" submitted by Gov. Harry w.
Nice, believed they can work out a
series Of special taxes which will pro-
duce enough revenue.
Expect Trouble.
Their list, If drawn today, prob
ably would include new inheritance
and public utility taxes, together with
the levies on beer and bookies Party
heads recognize they will have trouble
putting through any revenue bill, but
believe they can muster sufficient
strength to enact any program upon
which the leaders agree.
Although they may approve the
licensing and taxing of bookmakers,

Women Urging Anthony Stamp
Find 1t Task to See Farley

Afterward, the visitors went to the
office Of William ]. Bray, secretary to
the Postmaster General, and obtained
from one of his aides promise to see
Farley tomorrow, they said.
Mrs. Huntington, prominent in Bal
timore club circles, was accompanied
on the stamp mission by Mrs. Ella
Schnabel of Philadelphia and Mrs.
Donald r. Hooker of Baltimore. Mrs.
Huntington said the wives and moth
ers of American leaders have been
honored in the issuance Of the Mar
tina Washington and Mothers day
stamps, and her group feels Miss An
thongs labors likewise deserve recog-
milton.
On two previous occasions in the
last few days the Post Office Depart
ment has been in hot water in con-
nection with stamps because some
special sheets went to friends of Post
master General Farley.
Evening star., 1935-01-27

The Post Office Department ran into
some more stamp trouble yesterday
this time over a proposed issue, rather
than one that is out.
The latest episode found Clinton B.
Eilenberger, Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General, serving as the target of
a delegation from the National Wom-
ans party, which sought unsuccessful
ly through him to get an interview
with Postmaster General Farley to
urge stamp issue commemorative of
Susan B. Anthony. suffrage pioneer.
Coming to the department from
their regional conference at the Dodge
Hotel, the women, headed by Mrs.
Ralph c. Huntington, were told by
Eilenberger, it was charged last night,
that he would not take them to Far
ley and that he was against their pro-
posal. Eilenberger, who has charge Of
stamp issues, could not be reached for
his version Of the affair.".

the Democratic chieftains still frown
on sweepstakes and lottery proposals,
plans which were denounced as "re-
sorts of decadent nations" when aired
before the 1888 Legislature.
One Of the chief developments Of
the week which led the Democrats
to conclude that Gov. Harry w. Nice
overestimated the States relief needs
for 1886 and 1887, when he placed
them at $11,050, 900 for each of those
years, was the publication Of report
by his own commission on old-age
pensions which calculated 81 $50 900
would be needed from the State
annually to pension the aged, instead
Of $3,000,000 SIS listed In the Gov
ernor's tax message.
Expect Other Excesses.
If the Governor so far overesti-
mated this item, he may be equally
amiss in some of the other figures he
used, the Democrats state. They con-
f1dently expect that the anticipated
$7,200,00 State relief bill can be low
cred to S6,000,000 or less when details
OF HTeSlQenL ROOSEVELT SOCIdl SeCuIIIy
program are developed.
Whatever amount Maryland finally
is asked to contribute toward its share
of the States unemployment relief
probably will be divided between the
counties and State, unless there is a
reversal Of sentiment apparent among
the Senators and Delegates this week
Under such a set-up, Baltimore City
would, Of course, be asked to con-
tribute toward its own relief expendi-
lures, although one of the major prob
lens of the system will be to deter
mine how much the city should pay.
The metropolis has been spending
86 per cent of the States relief funds,
the other IA per cent being disbursed
among 81 of the % counties. Carroll
and Hartford have carried their own
relief loads without assistance.
Opinions Vary.
Most Of the lawmakers here think
the counties should pay about Is per
cent of their welfare bill Some, how
ever. argue that in the poorer counties
even per cent would be too much.
Determined efforts undoubtedly will
be made nevertheless to saddle a part
Of the relief load on the counties as
most of the legislators think this will
Evening star., 1935-01-27

tend to end the "grab-bag" tendencies
and, through local vigilance, prune
the relief rolls of questionable cases.
The plan to have the counties pay
part Of their relief costs fits in per-
fectly with the aims of those who
favor 'legalizing bookmaking. The
counties, they say, can supplement the
State license fee of about $500 with
county licenses costing 81 900 to S.
900, and in addition, derive part of a
tax to be placed on bets laid with
the bookmakers. County bookmakers'
taxes could then be applied TO the
local relief bill.
Delegate Walter ]. Locke of Balti-
more City, who has bookmakers' tax
bill ready for introduction next week
estimates it will net the State ST.
900 900 year.
The proposed tax on beer already
has been incorporated in bill intro.
duced in the Senate. 1t would tai
the popular beverage at the rate of 81
barrel, which amounts to about
three-tenths of a cent a bottle A
State revenue of about $1,250,000 a
year can be expected from such a beer
tax, according to Senator Milton l.
VeaSey of Worcester County, author
Of the measure.
No sales tax bill has yet been intro
duced, but the Legislature has in its
files an income tax bill designed tc
raise S5,000,000 a year; a bill to in
crease collateral inheritance taxes SC
as to produce $500,000 more a year;
measure to raise the gross receipts
on most public utilities to per cent
increasing the yield about S1,000,0 900 a
year, and a proposal to change the
race track taxes in the hope of netting
an additional $1,000,000. Charity
sweepstakes and lotteries also would
be legalized under pending measures,
but no satisfactory estimate of the
amount of revenue which can be ex-
pected from these sources has been
given.
