 The State Department has announced intention of sending governmental representatives to Alaskan wa ters for the purpose of Investigating the activities of Japanese fishing boats reported operating in exrater ritorial waters Bristol Bay.

 Tokyo indignantly denies that Japanese fishermen competing with the American salmon industry and the State Department told those who had occasion know better that the result of their reconnaissance m dcated that "alien fishing vessels operating American territorial waters. It appears that the fleet of Japanese vessels Bristol Bay region are only taking crab.

said he was hopeful Of permanent

The couple was married at Phoenix
Ariz., February 10. 1881. Pope said
that since then he has washed the
pots and pans. driven his wife tc
school and put up her lunch.
She has never cooked a meal and
she has never complained about

cooked the things the way she liked
them best"-his voice choked with
subdued emotion.
Mrs. Pope, in her divorce complaint
charged that when she turned down

Pope angrily threw her upon a couch
and declared he, not she, was run

Pope said he and his wife reached
their understanding before marriage

to recede so far that the oceans would

begins to look as though the Cleve-
