Spanish loyalists today announced
D victorious counter offensive in the
Bay of Biscay sector and moved in
on the long-besieged rebel city OF
Oviedo in the northern mining coun-
try.
From the Western Hemisphere the
United States warned Madrid it will
insist on the freedom of the seas for
American shipping. Spain has no
right to bar merchant vessels from
rebel ports, the State Department de-
elared in formal note, unless it can
apply an effective blockade.
Great Britain likewise recently
served notice on Spain that she could
not recognize a blockade and de-
manded non interference with British
shipping on the high seas.
Fascist rebels drove their troops 3
miles nearer Madrid after five days of
fighting, it was shown in reports from
Burgos. The soldiers dominated the
Lozoya Valley about 40 miles north of
the capital, (which puts the troops in
an excellent position to continue their
attack on the capital"
A perhaps significant sidelight of
the war today found an American
made plane tuned up at Innsbruck.
AuStria-perhapS to take former King
Alfonso home.
Government forces at Irun and San
Sebastian, successful in repulsing a
violent, all-day offensive, claimed they
had pushed their attackers back along
the Bidassoa River.
For the third day, stray bombs
burst in foreign soil, across the bor-
der from the battle zone.
Rebels, reported irked by their de-
lays and veering toward destructive
general push, announced the South
ern seaport of Malaga was about to
fall to their advancing columns.
They claimed, too, the desertion Of
1000 Loyalists in the South and said
the government now held less than a
score Of provinces.
Held on Technical Rulings.
- The plane which tuned up at Inns
bruck had been held two weeks on
technical rulings. It had brought two
eouriers to a conference with Alfonso.
Mechanics said it now awaits the
Kings ORDERS" and the impression
grew the former monarch might make
q sudden trip to Spain, despite the
reported GOODNESS Of the rebels toward
his restoration.
Madrid sought a unified army lead

M'CAIN PRAISES UTILITIES
 OWNERSHIP BY KETCHTKAN

Harry c Mccain. Ketehikan at toruey and Republican candidate for Attorney-General in the forth coming election made a short busi- ness trip to Juneau recently in the interests of the Alaska Transporta- tiou Company
 Declaring to the Juneau Empire business conditions in Che First City to be increasingly good. Nr. Mccain was lavish in rpafse of the recently aequir.d public ownership of utilities.
 For six moths we have owned cur water. telephone and power utilities he said "and during that time have made a net profit Of S1A0O0 more than the same con eern did under private ownership in the same six months the prev ious year. Al the same time there has been a noticeable reduction in rates to the consumer. and consid- o"able saving to the taxpayers. since savs of street lignts and bigh pres usre water mains. formerly incum- bent upon the city. is now assum- ed by the public utilities For the year ending December 31, the plano earned $14o.OO0-S40.Oo0 m or than has ever been collected in taxes in Ketchikau."
 Walter T. Stewart is in charge of the project, according to Mr. Me Cain. Stewart. formerly of Valdez, was for 15 years manager of the utility plant there which was con strueted to serve a population If 1000 and ran if continuously at 6 profit
 The First City. according to Mr Mccain, is one of the few in the United States which is in a posi- ton to ask for a PWA grant and furnished it's own 55 per cent with out accepting a government loan Ketchikan has asked for a 45 per cent grant on a $15O.00O project to construct permanent streets. Local banks Will furnish the 55 per eent without interest.
 It is eur public utilities which have made this possible said MT McCaln. We have thousands of dollars of the sinking fund of the utilities in the Ketchikan banks; hence there is ample security for their investment"
 MT. Mccain expects to return Q Juneau for course of informal talks during the campaign.

NO EVIDENCE FOUL PLAY IN
 DISAPPEARANCE TROLLERs

No evidence of foul play could be found by the coast guard cutter fallapoosa in it's investigation O [ the mysterious disappearance O f Emil Hungerbuhler and Lloyd Fen ton. but there is a belief that the two were accidentally drowned, ac- oording to an official report made by the coast guard.
 The report, a copy of which was received by the Cyane. Lieutenant Commander W. R. Richards. captain. says that one of the men. Fenton. was reported by fox farmers on El lecott island to have been acting queerly on December 5 The final log entry of the mems boat, the M- 2246, shows that they arrived al Woewodski harbor December 6. The men apparently left the boat in a hurry right after breakfast, leaving rifles and heavy clothing aboard, and the vessel unlocked A shotgun and a round bottom skiff were miss ing from the boat
 "The evidence indicated that the Ihtn were ObtI dlluS Tap lIhSa bN fore the season opened as one trap line was found as described in q book on the boat, the report says.
 The patrol boat made a complete search of shores in Elecott and Woewodski harbors and the Talla- poosa cruised the shore line os Frederick sound for seven miles in each direction.
 The small boat was anchored in q precarious position, says the official report, which adds, believe the men left the vessel to shoot ducks as bait for the traps, thinking to return shortly, and were caught by the current in ihe narrows. capsized and were drowned.

TAYLOR URGES HIGHWAY
 AS AIR LINE NECESSITY

The proposed International High way is necessary as a forerunner of commercial air service over the same region, Ike P. Taylor, Chief En- gineer of the Alaska Road Commis- sion, said in Washington, D. C.. last week.
 Until a highway extends across British Columbia and Yukon Terri tory along which can be located reg uIar emergency landing fields it would be folly to attempt to operate passenger, mail and express planes on regular schedule between the United States and Alaska" Mr. Taylor said
 The engineer explained the eX- pense of transporting supplies and equipment necessary to maintain a regular airline would be prohibitive unless a road was available for trucking purposes.
 Mr. Taylor said that while he would like to see the highway built, he did not believe it would be well to construct the Alaska DOT ton at present unless the United States had assurance from Canada that the highway through the West ern Canadian provinces would be built at the same time.

SHOOTS WOLF THAT
 MENACED SCHOOL CHILDREN

One big bad wolf has howled his last and has been a menace to Ward cove school children for the last time. But it took three rifle bull lets through his body to stop him, according to the Ketchikan Chron- icle
 The carcass was brought to town by William Wakefield whose rifle bullet brought him down early in the morning. As Wakefield's two sons were leaving the house for school, walking toward the high way from the cove in which thel" houseboat-home is moored, they met the wolf seated before them in the center of the trail.
 They retreated to their home as the animal menaced them with snarls and growls, careful however, not to attack. Calling their father when they reached the house, he emerged with a rifle and went after the wolf. Seeing the adult started the wolf into action. He turned tail and started away, but failed to get far. A rifle bullet stopped him.
 Examining the carcass later 1t was found that the wolf was carry ing two other bullet wounds, one in the chest just under the left fore leg and the other in the left hind quarter. They were relatively old wounds that had not healed over yet. Wakefields shot was a perfect bulls eye

BY ROBERT S. BROWN
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Adj
ministration still is pouring thou
sands of dollars a day into the
Passamaquoddy tide trap and the
transit Florida ship canal, despite
Congress refusal to provide funds
for continuance of the two projects
after July /.
AT Quoddy, $500 men still are en-
ployed. On the Florida ditch 5000
are working.
Employment will stop July /,
Army engineers in charge of the
operations say. They add that pay
rolls will be reduced shortly in or
der to stay within the funds already
available.
Quoddy received 100000 in
presidential ALLEGATIONS from the
1885 relief appropriation. AS of
April l, some 100000 remained
unspent. The President gave S.
100000 to the Florida project and
of this less than a million is unex-
pended.
Army engineers and WPA officials
said they had received no orders to
discontinue operations.
Requests Voted Down
Congress has demanded promises
from the Administration that none
of the proposed 1886 relief ap-
preparation will go to Quoddy or the
Canal. The Senate twice has voted
down request of Senator Fletcher
d., Fla) for additional funds for
the canal.
Only President Roosevelt can
save the projects at present, and he
can do it only by reallocating funds
