SENATE TO HEAR
 ARGUMENTS ON COLD TAX BILL
Gross Production Levy Hearing Scheduled for 2
 Tomorrow Afternoon

To permit interested parties op- portunity to be heard on the Bru- nelle gross gold tax bill the Ter ritorial Senate decided today to re- solve itself into a committee of the whole at 2 o'clock tomorrow after noon for that purpose
 The Senate had the bill in sec- ond reading yesterday and made several major changes from the or iginal. It raised the license tax levy on net income of mining prop critics other than gold and plat mum, starting at $100000, on which bill now calls for three percent, ano graduated upward to eight per cent on million dollars or over. Pre- viously the top had been six pel cent.
 The gold and platinum levy ot three per cent on gross production still stands but the exemption fi- gure was lowered to $l0000 from $2O00O.
 Another gold bill is in the Leg stature but it deals only with tax on net income of mines, raising the levies under the present law.

 Be Accepted for F.
 if Charm la


 BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.-Mrs. Wal ly Simpson may be slipping from the front pages but Baltimore girls seem to be right in the midse of "cashing in" in a big way on the reputation for charm she gave her home city.
 Mary Spotsmwood Warren, editor of the Blue Book of Baltimore So- ciety, came back from New York to say that "the stock of Baltimore girls has gone up about 100 per cent" because of the woman for whom king gave up his throne.
 Even in that sophisticated city, " said Miss Warren, everybody speaks of Baltimore girls, charm and Mrs. Simpson in one breath and in . big way. At first I thought they were joking. But I heard it too many times, from too many people"
 Her friends have notice the same thing-nave been almost over whelmed by it,H she said
 They treat all of us" she ex- plained, "as though we were Mrs. Simpson herself. One girl said she had received some flowers from a friend with a card which read, I can't leave a throne for you, but l can at least send you flowers"

in the Kodiak area have been wont to carry gill nets, which they would set in the Red River, then head out for the seine grounds, sometimes leaving the gill nets untended for as long as three days; the fish being unfit when they returned The revision would limit boats to proper fishing of one type only.
 In Lynn Canal
 Extension of the fishing season from August 20 to August 25, has been approved for gill nets in Lynn Canal A small section of Taku Inlet, further upstream than the previous open waters. has been opened to gill netters during the fall season, which extends through the greater part oi September. The opening of the section is in re- sponse to request from many fish erinen of the district who declare it is the best area because more free from floating lee chunks. Since the Taku run has been holding up well, opening of the section will be tried this year, but if the run should show indications of failing, the boundary will have to be moved back again.
 Other Revisi0ns
 Other revisions would permit the use of beach seines in Wrangell Narrows and allow a small increase in the maximum length of beach seines in the Chignik area.
 In order to encourage the pros pecting and development of crab fisheries in other regions, revis- ion has been made to place re- Istrictions upon crab fisheries reg ulations for Southeast Alaska in those districts where crab fisheries are now established.

REGULATIONS ? ON FISHING
 7 MADE PUBLIC
Slight Changes from Those of Last Year Some
 Revisions Announced

WASHINGTON, Feb 10.-Secre- tary of Commerce Dariel c. Roper, has announced approval of reyis- ions to the Alaska Fisheries regu- lations for the coming season. Com missioner Frank T. Bell said that no major changes have been made from last seasons regulations as it is believed that conditions in the Alaska fisherles are generally satisfactory under the regulations in use"
 Under the rey.sions, operators will be prohibited from using gill nets on offshore bars and flats that are covered by high tide, through ou the Bristol Bay area.
 Nushagak District
 In the Nushagak district, com mercial fishing has been further restricted by increase of the inter val between stake and anchored gill nets by one hundred and fifty feet to four hundred and fifty feet, instead of the three hundred feet required last year. Also the aggre- gate length of gill nets used in that district has been reduced from one hundred fifty fathoms to one hundred fathoms.
 i, Kodiak Area In the Kodiak area, Red River weir district, under regulations similar to the Karluk district, has been created in the waters adjacent to Red River, where the runs to the river penetrate.
 An adjustment has been made in the Karluk district boundary, tc exclude an outlying section where the bulk of the catch consists oi pink salmon, in order to remove ii from the red salmon regulations Nets Not Tied Another change requires com plete removal of sets, or anchored gill nets, from the water during closed periods in the Kodiak area; instead of permitting the practice of tieing them shut, used in the I past. This revision has been neces- sary, because patrol boats are al times unable to venture clost enough to the nets IF the shallow water to determine whether they are tied.
 1 Limit On Boats | Another revision would limit eacl salmon boat to ore seine only; nc additional nets of any kind being permitted. This regulation wa. made necessary because some boat.

Wealth May Drive
 Widow from Home

SAINT NAZARRE, France, Feb. l0.-Madame Coster, 9 wido Wwho runs a tobacconist's shop here, has discovered that it is not always such fun to be wealthy.
 She recently came in to $150,oO0 and now she is inundated with let ters, which arrive in piles by every post, from admirers" who wish to marry her.
 This would not be so bad, were it not for the fact that some of her would-be husbands have threatened her with death if she does not ac-. cepc their proposals of matrimony.
 Now gendarmes guard her house and the unfortunate woman is afraid that she may have to give LID her shop and go into seclusion in another part of France.
