Attention Of Nome Veterans Is Called To Bonus
Abolishment Fish Traps Brought
 Before Mrs. Roosevelt

Il was tremendously interest ed to have the Alaskan of Indian descent explain to me how clear ly he felt that this was a nec- essary conservation measure. Tn a few years history will say that once there were salmon along these coasts and in these rivers, but fish traps have destroyed them all,' he told me, and added, We caught only red fish in the old days, but now there's only pink fish left-what you have in cans
 His tone plainly conveyed the thought that those who were sat isfied with pink salmon were de- cidedly ignorant of what was really good. I acknowledged my abysmal ignorance, but said I did know something about fishermen and their lives on the East coast.
 "I could understand the ring of earnestnesS in his voice when he said, We used to make a liv- ing, own boats, build our own houses. Now we are no longer in dependent
 T do not know what will hap pen, nor what should happen, for these fishermen of the Alas kan coast, but there was some- thing in his attitude which made me hope that something at least might be done so they could earn a livelihood again"

Registration of Aliens and
Rigid Sedition Laws Are
Demanded.

After adoption of resolutions de-
tnanding adequate national prepared
ness, universal registration of aliens,
deportation of all criminal aliens and
enactment of rigid anti-sedition laws,
the National Society of United States
Daughters of 1872 will close its three
day forty-fourth national council at
the willard Hotel late today with the
colorful ceremony Of retiring the colors
The society today announced the
adoption of six major resolutions deal
Ing with national defense and crime
problems in the following order:
First, a resolution calling upon ma
tional and State officers to add radio
to their regular programs in the in
terest of gaining public support for the
national program Of defense and purg-
ing the country of undesirable aliens.
Second, advocating enactment of the
Reynolds -Starne bill to register finger
prints of all aliens and to restrict and
deport alien immigrants unlawfully
admitted. The society opposed the
Kerr-Coolidge bill on the ground it
would permit the exercise of sinister
political influences in behalf of Grim
inal aliens, gangsters, criminal insane
and social detectives of every class who
are menace to our country and
colossal burden to the taxpayers"
Urge Alien Registration.
Third, calling upon Congress to
establish an alien registration bureau
to register and fingerprint all aliens
in the United States. 1t was charged
that of the 100000 aliens in this
country, "at least half of them are
here Illegally" Lack of knowledge of
such aliens, the society declared, makes
1t almost impossible to deport alien
criminals.
Fourth, indorsing the Mccormack
Tydings bill and the Kramer bill, both
providing necessary Federal authority
to combat organized efforts to over
throw our Government when these acts
do not constitute overt acts"
Fifth, advocating Army and Navy
building programs to insure national
security. The society called upon the
Senate to insert in pending appropria-
ton bills sufficient funds to carry out
increases already authorized for the
services.

ALL IN READINESS.
FOR LEGISLATURE
AT STATE CAPITOL
Democrats Have Majority in
House and Senate
Nearly Even

The decks are cleared and all is
in readiness at the State Capitol for
the assembling of the state legislat-
ure next Monday, January 4.
TIL senate chamber, which for the
last year and a half has been filled
blue prints, maps, and plans and
specifications for roadway contracts
and work has all been removed to
the new highway building that
stands across Sixth avenue, north
east of the capitol. The building is
supposed to house the entire high
way department but already it is
being found too small to meet the
needs.
The Capitol is buzzing with ex-
element this week over the prepar-
atoms for the inauguration of Gov
ernor Roy 4. Ayers and speculation
over the organization of the House
and Senate.
The Young Democratic organiza-
ton of Helena is making extensive
arrangements for a reception at the
Capitol for Governor and Mrs. Ayers
at s O'Clock Monday night January
4. 1t is expected that fully 5000 will
attend. The legislature meets at
noon of that day and organizes with
the election of the Speaker and 9th
er officials in the House and the
election of a President of the Senate
and other officials there.
Politically the Senate is closely
divided, 81 Democrats and 81 Re-
publicans. IF Senator Ray Shannon.
who is the state treasurer elect, is
counted out, 1t leaves 28 Democrats
or Just one majority.
The House on the other hand is
overwhelmingly Democratic by a
vote of 80 to % and the speakership
and selection of other officers are
expected to be settled at the caucus
Sunday night at the Placer hotel.
Quo warranto proceedings brought
in the Supreme Court by Attorney
General Matson are expected to set
tie definitely the status of the State
Highway Commission and decide
whether the old Board. consisting
of DR.. McGregor. lockwood Brown
and L. J. Croonenberghs are still
entitled to act or whether the new
board, consisting of Fred Fligman,
Judge O'Hearn and Tom Collins,
who were named by Governor Holt,
after he removed the old commits
sioners, constitute the legal busin-
ess of the State Highway Commits
sion.
The point is a most important one
as it involves the employment OF
hundreds of employees and the car
rying on Of millions of dollars worth
of highway work.
The Supreme Court is expected to
hand down it's decision on this Sat
urdav January 2 so that the situa-
ton will be cleared when the new
administration takes hold and the
legislature %convenes.

MARSH GUILTY is
JURY'S VERDICT

A Roosevelt county jury Friday
returned a verdict of guilty against
Louis Marsh of Plentywood, charged
with grand larceny. The case vas
given to the jury Thursday evening
at 6 O'Clock and a verdict was
reached at 10 am. the next day.
Fred Radons, also charged with
grand larceny, requested a separate
trial. The request was granted.
According to the Wolf Point Her.
aid the following testimony was
brought out during the trial:
"As the prosecution witnesses
testified there was u%nfolded, bit by
bit. the life history of a certain cray
gelding, a small horse more suitable
for a saddle horse than a work
horse. This gelding was about two
years old when it came into the
possession of Eddie Bear. who took
the animal as part payment from
Neil Taylor on a lease of Indian
land. The gelding was branded when
Eddie Bear got him, a dim brand,
but Bear put his wife's brand on the
animal. In February 1897 he gave
the young horse to Billy Youngman,
Jr.. son of a friend. The Youngman
brand went on the animal.
And so the story continued
with proper foundation being laid
for the introduction of each episode
and chapter, until the gray gelding
found itself on a bitter cold night,
the latter part of last January, being
driven from the Louis Marsh place
through Plentywood and on to Ray
mond where the horse was part of
a shipment going to GAINESVILLE,
Wisconsin. possibly to be delivered
from there to st. Louis.
AT the time of the alleged theft
the horse belonged to Kenneth Oh
son.
