Assurance that Alexandria will
continue as a port of entry for
vessels was given today with an
nouncement of the appointment
of j. Fred Birrell, former member
Of the Virginia House of Delegates
from this city, as deputy collector
Of customs here to succeed the

porarily in charge.

vessels and two ships from for
eign countries were recorded here
during the past year by the local
office.
Mr.. Birrell, who will keep the
local office open six days a week,
served in the assembly for 10 years

DEFENSE
International News Service

International News service
President Roosevelt wants Alas
ka more densely populated for
many reasons, including a belief
that it would contribute to ma
tional defense-it was disclosed to-
day in hearings on the Interior De-
partment appropriation bill. DR..
Ernest Greuning, director Of the
Division of Territories and Posses
SionS, said:
"The question Of the Matanu-
ska colony came up this morn
ing, and that was in pursuance
of the Presidents desire to try
to get more people up there for
various reasons, military defense
being one, and there were other
reasons, and, Of course, We did
not have the machinery for
handling those people.
"The President desired that
Mr.. Hopkins do that, but that is
q matter that will be dropped in
our lap and over which we desire
to exercise greater supervision
than we ever have"
Representative Zioncheck CD
Of Washington bitterly criticized
the handling of the Matanuska
project, where relief families were
sent to pioneer. After Representa-
tive johnson CD of Oklahoma
said that only 10 per cent of them
had lived on a farm, Mr.. Zioncheck
added:
They lived on the farm, but
they did not actually make q
living on the farm. In other
words, to cite one particular in
stance which / observed when
/ was talking to one of the fore
men: A young woman came up
to make an inquiry. She was
dressed in riding boots, whip
cord breeches and plaid jacket
that cost about SIS, a French
beret on her head and kid gloves
for mittenS, and was very typi-
cal of the Goldfish ariStOcracy.'
81 was informed, and I have
no reason to diSbelieve it, that
she was a former hostess in a
night club in Cicero. She found
herself out of a job, and her
husband was out of a job also,
as / understand it.
"They probably went to live
with the husbands parents on
a farm in Wisconsin, and while
they were on this farm they
were selected to be sent to the
Matanuska Valley"
Zioncheck added that he was in
formed while in Alaska that one
of the colonists had wooden leg,
several had diabetes, that there
was a case or two Of pernicious
anemia and that several others
we're tubercular, two having each
one lung just about gone.

This hospital, founded June 10, 1881,

RO0SEVELT'S SON
HINTS REPR|SALS
To Confer With Counsel on
Fokker Statements,
Elliott Says.

By the Associated Press
Elliott Roosevelt's negotiations with
Anthony H. G. Fokker to sell airplanes
abroad were labeled closed incident
today by the Senate Munitions Com
mittee head, but from Texas came word
that the principal had other things
in mind.
The Presidents son said at Fort
Worth he would go to New York soon
to consult counsel regarding the state
ments Fokker made in a Munitions
Committee deposition. One of the
statements, which Roosevelt denied,
was that he contracted to sell military
airplanes to Russia for q $500, 900 COM
mission.
Il believe my rights as private
citizen of the United States have been
infringed," Roosevelt said.
His expressed resentment, however,
did not include Chairman Nye, the
committees head.
If were in Mr.. Nye's position" he
said "and some one accused me of
withholding facts from the public I
would certainly release whatever sworn
matter was in my hands. / have no
quarrel with Mr. Nye"
Nye, in saying that 80 far as the
Munitions Committee is concerned,
the incident is closed" asserted yes
terday that since no sales were made
it is obvious that the Presidents son
did nothing illegal"
Fokker's deposition said the terms
of the contract were not carried out,
but 1t contended that $4,000 was paid
young Roosevelt before the agreement
was Cancelled.
G. w. Stratton. sales executive of
an airplane manufacturing concern
at Santa Monica, Calf, said he re-
ceived $4,000 from Fokker for ex-
nenSes in 1894 when the contract ua G

Elliott did not receive any money"
Both Roosevelt and Stratton said
the arrangements they had with Fox
ker did not call for sales Of planes to
foreign governments. Roosevelt said
he had entered into an agreement,
later Cancelled, with Fokker to sell
commercial planes to private con-
Germs.

yelt said.
