The concert Of Latin American
music by the United States Army
Band, held under the auspices
of the Pan-Amerfcan Union, was
held indoors last night in the
Hall of the Americas on account
Of the weather.
The works presented showed a
wide range of style and mood,
making q most interesting pro-
gram. Senorita Lucrezia Sarrta,
Peruvian soprano, was heard In
three groups of songs. The wide
range and fresh tone of her
voice were shown to best adj
vantage in the brilliant trillS, and
cadenza with flute obligato in
"Thou Brilliant Bird" from
pearl Of Brazil" "a DAVID. In
the cadenza, q clear high D was
reached with apparent ease.
Senorita Sarria gave further
evidence Of her coloratura abili-
ties in the aria Gentle de
Cuore," from al Guarani," Gear
los GomeS), which was sung also
with flute obligato. "Suray
Surita" (Teodoro ValcarceD, was
most interesting work based
upon original Inca themes and
sung in an Inca dialect. She
sang "Canto Hatuey," There Is
Love In the Air" by A. Valdespi,
In English, much to the delight
Of the audience. Her voice,
while~ clear and flexible. lacks
power. .
The q. s. Army Band under
the direction Of Capt. Thomas F..
Darcy, opened the program with
two works that had no Latin
American themes or rhythms.
The march Presenter Armas"
(zelaya), is a good six-eight
march Of a style similar to the
writings of the United States COM
poser, r. B. Hall. The overture
Martha" (SantoS), contained q
nice flute duet. The real Latin
American music was introduced
with the caprice Panama" by
the leader Of the National Band
of Panama, Alberto Galimany.
This caprice was based upon some
typical songs and dances Of
Panama.
Carlos Comes prelude Condor, "
opened with q distinctly modern
series Of dissonant chords and
developed into a pleasing, If short,
work. The potpourri, Mosaic
Cubano" (Ernesto Lecuo1aa), was
another splendid exposition Of
Latin American folk tunes. An
Oriental mood was developed IN
the latter part of the program
when Justin Flies suite Of four
short pieces, Babylon" was
played. The dances Of the Oda.
lisks. Bayaderes and Queen Of
the Night were exotic and color
full; the suite ended with the
weird and fantastic Orgy.
The closing march, Venezuela -
tAugustos Brandt), was in true
Latin American style. While the
u. s. Army Band played pro-
gram indoors that was originally
intended for performance out
doors, the change enhanced the
tonal qualities Of the band.

 ment for either house to consider
 its own measures with the excep-
 tion of appropriation bills.
 The House moved rapidly through a list of its bills in second reading
 this morning and this afternoon was advancing them on the calendar to
 third reading and final action. It
 was expected that both houses would stay in session until a late hour in order to facilitate the work.
 With the gross gold tax bill now enacted by Legislature, the Race mining net tax measure was with drawn this morning. Representative 'McCutcheon also withdrew his r1ea- sure asking an appropriation of $3,000 for radio station north of the Gulf of Alaska. It was pointed out that a provision for such a sta- tion had been incorporated in the appropriations bill but no set sum yet designated
 Finger printing became a lively topic in the House this afternoon when the Nell Scott measure re- quiring the finger-printing of all applicants for licenses to drive cars which are to be used as public con- veyances came up. Amendment was by George Laiblin of the Second Division that would make the bill apply to all persons who applied for automobile licenses, but it failed to pass. U. s. Marshal William T.

 Late yesterday the House passed the eight-hour day bill but with which would eliminate cannery and mine workers.

With all members finally present following the arrival in Juneau this morning from Petersburg of Earl N Ohmer, Commissioner for the First Division, and his wife, aboard the steamer Victoria. the Alaska Game Commission today pitched in- to the thick of the problems await ing it's action.
 Beside the wolf menace, perhaps the most pressing question to be decided right now by the Commits sioners is where and when-will they sit down to dine off that succu- lent big Arctic Shefish that War den Collins garnered on his recent trek along the Arctic Coast. Col line was forced to leave his prize behind him at Kotzebue, but last week it caught up with him here, coming on to Juneau by frozen air express, and now awaits disposal by the Commission, at a time and place to be designated
 Also deeply interested in the She fish question is w. E. Crouch, as- sistant chief of the Game Man. aoement E.vision of the U. s. Bio- logical Survey Bureau in the De- partment of Agriculture, who also arrived in Juneau this morning on the Victoria having come from Washington, D. C., to attend the Commission session.

''FOUR-ENCINE ERA" ARRIVES
 FOR AVIATION
Production of New Trans port Planes Announced
 by Boeing Firm

Arrival of the long predicted four engine era" in aviation ap- peared definitely at hand when it was revealed that the Boeing Air craft Company is immediately be- ginning production of giant four engined transport planes in addi- ton to it's four -engined and clip per ships
 The Boeing Company announces that it is now devoting it's huge Se- attle factory exclusively to the pro- duction of r-engined aircraft = evidence that the company's re- search in airplane design has led to i. the final standardization of the new four-engine type for passenger [ transportation over land and water and for the sturdy backbone oi the nations aerial defense.
 l First indication that Boeing vii soon introduce four-engined passen- ger transports to the aviation worlc was the announcement on Wash ington's Birthday by Transcontin- ental and Western Air. Inc, that il has contracted for a fleet of such planes.
 1 c. L. Egtvedt. Boeing president revealed few snatches of the grip ping story of this latest advance in the swiftly-moving aviation indus try
 1 Ektvedt referred to the much-dis- cussed topic of future sub-stratos- phere operations - flying at such levels as 10000 feet, above the nor nal storm stratum. in the rarefied atmosphere where higher speeds and exceptionally smooth flight would be possible. It is known that major airlines as well as the Army Air Corps have been carrying on exten- sive experimentation in this com ing mode of air travel.
 The fleets of four -engined Boe- ings now under construction will be so designed that ub-stratosphere flying will be possible through the addition of pressure equipment fol supercharging the passenger cabins it was revealed. Two of the new planes, in particular. will be pro- Ivided immediately with all the nee. essary equipment for sub-stratos. lphere flight.
 In general design, the giant Boe' ing super transports, larger thar any American land planes now il service, will be all-metal lowwins monoplanes, with full cantileve wings and tail surfaces, retractabl, landing gear and tail wheel, ant air operated wheel brakes. Thei spacious cabins will provide accom- modations for 32 passengers in day

FOUND DEAD
 IN CABIN ON 9TH STREET
Andrew Palmer Passes Away; Had Been Miss
 ing Over "A Hours

Reports of a dead man on $. W Ninth Street here, last night led to the finding of the body of Andrew Palmer, 6i, boat builder, and res ident of this city for many years, in his rooms in the large boat house that towers above the surrounding tide flats and dwellings at the Channel end of the street.
 Fears felt for Tanners safety by his partner Martin Hoist and friend Charlie Borlek, and intensified by his recent complaints of heart trou- ble, developed yesterday after Pal mer had not been seen for nearly 24 hours and led MT. Borlek to in- vestigate.
 Finding the door to Palmer's rooms locked. he looked through a window and was able to disting- uish what appeared to him to be a mans head. When the head re- mained unmoving for some time, Borlek, already suspicious because the light was burning in the room, but no smoke was coming from the chimney, though it was showing out, hastened to notify the U. s. Mar shal's office.
 Door Barricaded
 When Deputy Marshal Walter C.. Hellan arrived on the scene at 5 o'clock last evening, he, Borlek and Hoist first tried to, enter through the door to the rooms. But, find ing the door barricaded. they turn ed their attention to a window. Forcing the sash. Deputy Hellan entered, and passing on into the kitchen of the apartment, came upon Palmer. sitting upright in a straight chair, his elbows on his widespread knees, his bowed head in his hands. appearing to be thinking.
 But, on a very slight touch on the back by Deputy Hellan, the stiff fened body tottered and would have fallen, had not the officer caught it. There were no marks of vio- lence on the body, and, except for the barricaded door, no suspicious circumstances.
 Heart Ailment
 Medical examination later deter mined that Palmer had succumbed to heart ailrnent. ,.
 Palmer was last seen at o'clock on Monday evening, when, follow ing his usual custom, he went to the home of neighbor, Arthur Berthol, to get water Previous tC that, friend of his, William Han sen. had visited Palmer in his rooms and talked with him at about 5:30 o'clock on Monday evening.
 Though the exact time of Pal mer's sudden death is unknown, the dog of his neighbor Berthol, which Palmer had been wont to feed, very early Tuesday morning. at about 3 o'clock. waken his owner who discovered his pet crouched before the door to Palmer's place, bowling loudly.
 The dog ignored Berthols com- mands to be silent, and moreover, refused to leave the door Berthol was forced to go after the dog and carry it away, before it could be silenced.
 The body is at the c. w. Car ter Mortuary.
