BRADLEY TELLS. CHAMBER ABOUT
 \. J. PROGRESS
Mine President Praises Workers Hints at
 Club Facilities

P. R. Bradley, president of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com pany, told members of the Cham Der of Commerce today that ar announcement may be expected soon from L. H. Metzgar. general Superintendent of the plant. rela- tive to establishment of "club fla cilities, to be used by employees"
 That statement was but one fea- ture of the talk made by Bradley in response to an annual tribute paid the Alaska Juneau by the Chamber.
 "Conditions now are 50 satisfac- tory in the mine that I can say that you can expect an announce ment from MT. Metzgar soon on ex- penditure of money by the mine for club facilities to be used by em- ployees," Bradley said. We are proud of the high class of men now being employed by the Alaska Juneau, They are good workers and are good men.
 Pleased With Men
 q was pleased, upon my return to Juneau, to find the mine run ming at full capacity with good crew being employed. Many of the men are new to underground work But we are proud of them and their work"
 Turning for a moment to discuss the walkout which tied up opera tions of the mine for 45 days this summer, Bradley said that it be- came the duty of every citizen in the community to take stand dur ing such a situation.
 "In community which depends for existence upon a single industry and where, in the event of a strike the citizens of that community act as a jury, the side which obtains the sympathy of those citizens usu- ally wins the argument That has been my experience" he said.
 Tn such a situation, 1t is the duty of every citizen to take a stand one way or the other. I have no patience with those that claim they are neutral Such situa- ton is similar to a hotly contest ed municipal election; you must take sides"
 Bradley concluded his talk by giving more details on his previous forecast that mining activities may be resumed at the Treadwell mine on Douglas Island.
 An agreement has been drawn between the Alaska Juneau and Mark L. Requa, Oakland. Cal, and nationally prominent mining engi- neer. The agreement states that MT. Requa will obtain capital to fi- nance prospecting operations at Treadwell. If he finds surveys satis- factory he will form a development company and operate the property, but the Alaska Juneau will have nothing to do with the manage

ECONOMIC BOYCOTT

GENEVA, Sept. 19.-Great Britain's increasing concen- tration of fighting ships in the Mediterranean, a concen- tration which even calls war ships from the West Indies fleet, suggests to many dele gates to the League an econ- omic boycott of Italy in case she attacks Ethiopia.
 Dispatches from N a pl e s said 12 Italian submarines from Trieste h ave arrived there.
 This shifting of base from the Upper Adriatic to the Tyrrhenian Sea is attributed to the heavy British fleet in the Mediterranean.
 Certain delegates said they be- lieve Premier Mussolini might re- gard such boycott as virtual act of war particularly in view of the naval blockade being under taken to enforce such boycott.
 Advices received here from Lon- don state there is political crisis being precipitated by the Govern ment's attitude that the Leagues covenant must be upheld. Heads of the Labor Party have convoked an emergency meeting.

Bradley Explains Prospects
 for Re-ope''ir,g of Tread,UeH

The possibilities of restoration of mining operations in a big way at the old Treadwell properties, were explained by Philip Bradley. Pres ident of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company in talk last night before the Douglas Chamber of Commerce, whose guest he was at their regular meeting. The sub ject which is the one nearest to the minds and hearts of everyone on the Island and of interest to Ju- neau as well and indeed to the whole territory, is of vital impor- tance to a greater prosperity in this section.
 The proposed new development work at Treadwell would be done by a new company, MT. Bradley said. Before he came north he stated that Mark Requa, who is well-known industrially throughout the country, approached his com pany on the project and an agree ment was entered into by which MT, Requa is to organize his own con- pany, and raise sufficient money to carry on the work. The plan in view is to sink a shaft approxi- mately 3,000 feet deep below the old workings to ascertain the ex- tent of the ore bodies reached. The feat alone would cost $500,000 or perhaps $1.000,00O. he said. Upon it's completion, MT. Bradley stated, his company would deed the min- ing claims to the new company.
 Milling Plant
 The second stage, If the showing in values warranted, would be the building of a milling plant of about 5000 tons daily capacity with shops, and other necessary equipment un- der an operating agreement basis Total amount involved in the whole proposition would be $5,000,00 to
 
 s6,000.000.
 His opinion as an engineer. MT Bradley said, caused him however to caution the people not to hold out too much hope for the proposi- ton on account of the numerous unknown factors.
 Former Days Recalled
 Complimenting the Douglas resi- dents on their spirit of coopera- ton and working together against adverse conditions for the bridge and other advantages that have come. MT, Bradley reminisced lit- tie about the old days and some of the leading characters of that time. to whom he paid tribute.
 He also spoke of the ending of the Treadwell mines. relating some of the circumstances which led ur to the final disaster. As early as 1911. he said. evidences were notice able that the underground workings were shifting. The first subsistence occurred in that year near the 24(

1tCER 1ON, .o., oCpo' A"' Twelve months behind bars, seven of them with a death sentence hanging over, his head, have done little to solve the riddle that is Bruno Richard Hauptmann. He was arrested Sept. 19, 1884.
 His year Of legal strife has left him outwardly unchanged, save for the minor changes attendant on imprisonment. His hair is closely shorn today and his face has the pallor of the death house. But as he awaits the decision of the court of errors and appeals, expected next month, he is calm and as stcical as he was during his long trial at Pennington.
 Hauptmann's confidence in his destiny may have been shaken that night o February 13 when he beard a jury of eight men and four women utter their conviction of his guilt in the Lindbergh kid -slaying and heard himself sen- tenced to death. But he quickly recovered.
 Called Ideal Prisoner
 His jailers say he is an idea prisoner. He asks no favors and h. expects none. One prison official thinks his behavior may be tracea to his wartime training in the Ger man army.
 He talks quietly to his guards anc to Col. Mark O. Kimberling, the warden. He has professed his inno- cence many times.
 Physically he is probably as fit as he was that September day a year ago when he was halted and handcuffed on Bronx street. His strong will is accountable for that. Hauptmann perhaps has never re- faxed since he was imprisoned.
 When he was brought to Fleming ton month after his arrest he be- gan losing weight, but he kept his mind occupied with his approaching trial. He read books and improved his English. He also exercised.
 In the past seven months he has exercised conscientiously, stripping to the waist in his cell. This, along with the visits of his wife, Anna, his interest in his son. Mannfried, in his appeal and in the autobiog- raphy he has been writing, have helped him considerably to master his emotions and keep him from despair.
 Four men have gone to death past his cell. Three went one night, Hauptmann was unmoved. He told them to pray to God" and shook hands with the condemned, but his face was set.
 A slight spiritual change is said to have taken place in him. He reads the Bible and religious books. brought him by the Rev. D. G. Werner of New York, his spirit ual adviser.
 Once. Mrs. Hauptmann said, she found her husband weeping. His cell walls are plastered with photo graphs of Mannfried.
 Haa Gained 10 Pounds
 His lawyer, c. Lloyd Fisher, says Hauptmann feels no bitterness to- ward anyone, save the federal agent Thomas H. Sisk. whose testimony at the trial moved Hauptmann to cry out he was lying.
 He has gained 10 pounds in the

With typical duck weather pre- vailing, duck hunters were pre- pairing today to be on hand to open lthe season tomorrow morning at 2 o'clock. many planning to go to the flats north of the city. In this connection it was an- nounced by the Alaska Game Com mission that amendment has been made to the regulations relative to shooting 100 feet beyond any con- tinous natural growth. A telegram Ito the Commission from Washing ton says the word continuous has been stricken, the regulations thus limiting shooting to 100 feet beyond any natural growth.

State Liquor Heads
Fight Federal Tax

A group of attorney generals of
States which operate liquor mo-
nopolies gathered here today to de-
eide what steps their States shall
take to prevent the Federal Gov
ernment from assessing income
taxes against the proceeds from
their liquor monopolies.
The meeting was called after
the United States Supreme Court
ruled trustees of the Boston Ele-
waited railway were required to pay
Federal income taxes. 1t is feared
this might cause the Treasury to
reverse the policy it adopted in re-
gard to the State of Oregon,
which is not required to pay in
come tax on the operation of it's
State liquor department because
the profits were used for govern
mental purposes.
