WASHINGTON ITEMS

Karle Theile, owner of .tne Diamond 'K" Packing. Company of Wrangell
 ormer Secretary of the. Territory, was in Washington for number If days recently. He was appointed
 pres ntative of the Independent Gamers Association to appear for shem on the question of maintenance IT elimination of traps in view of the announced purpose of Delegate Di- t4ond to endeavor to secure the passage of bill calling for the abo-
 ion of all traps. MT. Theile ad- Vised the Delegate that in his oper- lions at Wrangell during the past summer he packed twice. as many seine caught fish as trap caught .ish and that he never refused to sake any seine caught fish from the
 ishermen for the canneryr and never .llaced any of them on any sort of. limit and that, in fact, he took fish from other seiners where they could not find a purchaser.
 With the allotment to the city of Fairbanks of a loan and grant of S50,CO0 by the PWA, all of the appli cations for. loans and grants by the various cities of Alaska have been k Aproved by the PWA and the funds allocated except as to the city of Douglas in which the requisite plans and engineering and other details have not yet been furnished by the ,,ity. The amounts of the various leans and grants and of the cities receiving the sames are. as follows: l. Skagway S40,G0O
 L Wrangell. 47,000 Juneau 100000 ;,
 .i SeWards. 118.000 -.-----
 Fairbanks 5O,00O.
 Tn the case of Seward above listed the application of the city of Seward was for S60,0Q0. only, but the. engin- eers of the -PWA decided that the engineering plans submitted by the city were impractical and so they made entirely new plans calling for loan and grant of $118,000. :. This amount has not been set over to the city because Congress at the last session failed to- pass. the necessary legislation authorizing the city to incur indebtedness. One other loan and grant application is on it's way, that of the city. of Nome for $10Q,- 1000 for the construction < of public works made necessary by the recent fire in that city. It will be recalled that the situation at Nome was ex- amined by Col. E. w. Clark of the AWA and his report has been made to Administrator Ickes.
 Commissioner of Education A. E. Karnes-of Juneau was in Washington for about ten days in December discussing various questions concern ;ng school affairs with the officials |of the Department of the Interior, including a program for the erection l, of additional school :. buildings in Alaska and of hospitals at. Seldovia and Kodiak where they are badly needed. At present, the difficulties are two, First, lack of funds of the Public Works Administration, and Second, the question as to how the hospitals will be operated. and at whose expesnse after they are con- structed.s Commissioner.

FRANCo.sOvIET PACT READY.
Russia Gets Assurance Paris Would
Speed Aid.

PARIS. April 81 tHp.-While French
and Russian experts polished the text
of their mutual assistance pact, Rus
sia today sought assurance that
France would come to her aid in the
shortest time possible in case Of an
attack.
Vladimir Potemkin, Soviet Ambassa-
dor, who yesterday announced an
agreement had been reached on all
essential details Of the treaty spent
two hours with Foreign Minister
Pierre Laval. and said later: Every
thing is going normally"
While 1t had been expected the
agreement would be initiated today
the expert found the text needed fur
ther finishing touches.
Laval today insisted on retention OF
the original French thesis that the
League Of Nations be first consulted
in the event Of an unprovoked attack
on either nation. The Russians ac-
cepted this. but sought ways to make
the agreement as automatic as pos
sible."
A pact between Russia and CZecho-
slovakia, informed quarters say, may
be one of the first offshoots Of the
Franco-Soviet pact. Negotiations Of
such agreements. at the instance OF
the French. will be on the agenda Of
the nine-power Danubian conference
at Rome in June.

AUSTIN. Tex. April 27.-Hardy
Texas cattle, culled of old and weak
stock. today were reported thinner In
flesh but generally healthy after a
drought-ravaged Winter.
J. Z. Mcdonald. Texas commits
sioner of agriculture. credited Gov
ernnent purchases in 1884 of about
100000 undesirable animals as a
reason for a normal mortality rate,
together with relatively light Winter.
"Ranchers sold heavily and weeded
out old and weak cattle" ne said.
THAT left only the healthiest on the
range. saved ranchers q lot of finan-
cial loss, and provided market for
cattle for which there would have
been no market otherwise
Condition OF cattle in April, 1884,
was estimated by the United States
Department of Agriculture at "a per
cent. compared to 10-year average
Of 81 per cent. This April the condi-
ton was placed at IS per cent. per

wages, widen the volume Of goods
workers might buy with their wages
and boost employment by revising
foreign trade.
The Texan said efficient industries.
farmers and consumers were damaged
by high tariffs.
President Roosevelt seeks through
the machinery Of foreign trade agree
ments to once again put in motion
the currents of international trade,
he said.
1T is his hope that by voluntary,
scientific and friendly adjustments the
United States and foreign countries
may arrive at mutually profitable and
beneficial understandine-that the
trade and commerce of the people and
industries of the contracting nations
may receive q larger share OF the
fruits of industry, manufacture and
commerce.
1T is a daring challenge to the
selfishness and narrowness Of tarih
blundering and economic muddling.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, April 27.-A "a
hour watch service was inaugurated
by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to-
night at the dangerous Rockville grade
crossing. where IA children lost their
lives in the tragic bus wreck two weeks
ago.
The railway, which earlier in the
week announced no changes would be
made in the system Of protecting the
intersection, decided yesterday to aug
ment the regular guard maintained at
the crossing by employing an addi-
tional guard to work between the
hours of 10 pm. and 6 am.
At the same time it was learned that
the State Roads Commission is plan
ming to hold hearing within the next
few days to receive the suggestions OF
local citizens who are advocating the
elimination of the crossing, which has
been the scene of several fatal wrecks
The highway body has applied for a
Federal grant for the purpose OF cor
recting a number Of trafdc hazards
througout the State and the elimina-
ton of the local crossing is one Of
the foremost projects on the program.
c. M. Shriver, superintendent Of
the Baltimore division of the B. & O.,
told The Star tonight that the rail-
way had decided to employ the addi-
tional watrhnan and the new guard
Frank Poole of Rockville, began his

The crossing previously has been
unprotected from that hour until 6
m. each day It was during this
period when the crossing was un-
protected by watchman that the
WilliamSport school bus was struck by

ever, was absolved of blame by Police
