Owner Coliseum Chain
Visits Local Theatre

W. d. Gross, owner OF the Coli
cum chain of theaters in south
astern Alaska, stopped off at
Vrangell this week while enroute
20 juneau from a trip to the States,
for a business conference with J.
r. Brown, manager of the local
Coliseum.
Mr.. Gross found conditions most
encouraging in the States. He looks
for increased business activity this
season in Alaska and anticipates a
betterment in theater receipts ii
the fishermen get break in
prices"
Mr.. Gross is always on the side
of those whom he thinks are get
ting the short end of lille. He re
CARDS the fishermen as the very
backbone of the financial life Of
southeast Alaska and does not
think they always get the consid-
GRAFTON that is their due.
Likewise he is opposed to the
segregation OF the Indian children
in separates schools. With all due
respect to the fine teachers who
staff the Indian schools, he believes
the children would advance faster
if they were put in with white chill
dren.
Twenty-four years ago Mr.. Gross
became convinced that the finest
Christmas gift that could be made
to the inmates of the Pioneers
Home was straight cash, so that
the oldtimers could have the plea
sure of some money in their
pockets. For each successive year
he has sponsored the project and
the welfare of the old Pioneers is Of
much concern to him.

TAX-THE-R RICH
PLAN MENACES
FORD HOLDINGS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. U.P)-
The giant Ford Motor Co., now a
purely family enterprise, probably
would pass partly into the hands of
other investors through operation
of high inheritance levies proposed
by the administration of tax bill,
General Counsel Robert H. Jackson
Of the bureau of internal revenue
told the senate finance committee
today.
THE effect" Jackson said, would
be to convert what is now family
industry into a widely owned one,
and to permit the public to share
in the future earnings of an enter
prise to the building of which pub
lie patronage has made a substan-
tial contribution"
Estimating the net worth of the
company at $600000,000 in 1894.
Jackson analyzed the career and
fortunes of the Ford family to sup
port treasury contentious that un-
der present law great fortunes US
ually pass Ito heirs already amply
provided for"
In recent years, he said, the tax
burden has been shifted more and
more from the rich to the poorer
class. He denounced this trend as
"unSound" and explained the pend
ing bill aimed to reverse it.

SIX SUSPECTS
CHARGED WITH
LOOT|NC SHIP

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6. U.P)-
Charges of conspiracy to board and
plumber the gambling barge Monte
Carlo were contained in federal
complaints issued today against six
men suspected of having looted the
craft of $4,000 in cash and jewels.
Decision not to charge the suS-
poets with piracy on the high seas
was made by Peirson Hall, United
States attorney, who said he feared
it would be difficult to obtain
conviction on that charge since it
carries mandatory penalty of life
imprisonment.
Named in the complaints were
August, 25, and George Wunderlich,
%, L. D. Boyd, 18, Walter Miller,
35, Carl Garlic, 33, and Frank
(Blackie) Gibbons.
Hall said he intended to go before
the federal grand jury tomorrow
seeking indictments on the con-
spiracy to board and plunder count.
The charge carries a penalty of 10
years imprisonment and $4,000 fine.
Sudden affluence of Gibbons,
known as a small calibre grifter," :"
put federal men on the trail of the
six. Officers claim Gibbons has
made a full confession.

NATION : EYES
On VO TING IN
RHODE ISLAND
Midget State Holding Special
Election With "New Deal"
Approval Main Issue

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug. 6. W.D
Rhode Island, smallest of the
states, became the focal point of
the nation today while its citizens
chose between a Democratic and a
Republican congressional candidate
in an election termed test of cur
rent new deal" sentiment in the
industrial east.
1t was a special election to fill
vacancy in the house of repre-
sentatives, but national leaders of
both political parties looked to its
results as a possible indication of
popular trend that might point the
results of next years presidential
election.
Candidates were Antonio Prince,
Democrat, running on an uncom-
promising new deaP program,
promising to support President
Roosevelt in every particular, and
Charles T. Risk, Republican, run
ing on an out-and-out anti new
deal" program.
Political leaders believed the is
sue was sharply drawn upon prem
ises that probably will dominate
the national campaign of both par
ties. Chief issues eXpounded during
Princes and Risks campaigns were
the cotton processing taxes of the
Agriculture Adjustment Admins
tration, the effectiveness of the
new deal" work relief program, and
the death sentence" clause of the
utility holding company bill spon-
sored by the national administra-
ton.
The candidates seek the first dis
trict seat vacated by Francis B.
Condor, Democrat, who resigned
last January to accept appointment
to the Rhode Island supreme court.
The district is largely Industrial
lied, including many cotton mills
and also the city of Providence.
Condor carried it last November
with a plurality of $1,000 votes.
Since Condor was elected many
cotton mills have closed, throwing
their workers upon relief.

Matter Will Be Made Special
Order Of Business When Con-
gress Meets In January

Thomas Indicates Supporters
DE- Measure May Attach 1t
As Rider To Tax Bill

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Joseph
T. Robinson, senate majority lead
er, announced today that the DEM
ocratic steering committee had de-
cided to make bonus legislation q
special order of business when con-
gree reconvenes next January.
Robinson said the committee felt
such a policy would facilitate early
adjournment by discouraging ef-
forts to attach bonus or other
riders to the pending tax bill.
If the riders are offered, Robin
son said, he had been given au-
thority to move to table them.
The decision of the Democratic
leadership appeared to doom to
failure any further efforts for bo-
nus enactment this session. Other
inflationarT measures, which with
the bonus aggregate some $6,000.-
100000, also were believed by lead
ers to be shelved.
Sen. Elmer Thomas CDem), Okla
homa, however, said bonus forces
were not dismayed and would still
offer bonus rider to the tax bill.
The bonus bloc will meet tonight
to discuss the situation.
Sen. Thomas P. Gore Dem),
Oklahoma, said that between now
and January, bonus advocates hope
to work out compromise that will
be acceptable to the veterans, to
congress and to the President"
Reporting on a meeting of the
steering and policy committees OF
the senate, Robinson said:
ut was decided to make the sub-
ject matter of bonus legislation a
special order for date in January
the exact date to be hereafter
fixed.
MANY advocates of the bonus
feel it is impracticable to secure
action during the present session
and realize that attempts to attach
bonus legislation as riders to bills
on other subjects would render it
impossible to secure full consider
alton and to develop the strength
of any fair bonus measure. that
might be advanced as a rider"
