Alaskan Mountain Ranges Are to Be Searched for Six
 Missing Russian Pliers
Sir Hubert Wilkins Has New Theory Regarding Disap- pearance of Soviet Plane Last August Bases New Suggestion Upon Last Message Received, Also Rumors of Eskimo Herders

EDMONTON, Feb. ll.-Sir Hubert Wilkins said Alaskan mountain ran- ges will be the next area covered in the hunt for the six missing So- viet fliers.
 Sir Hubert said There are those of us with Polar experience who still believe there is hope the Russians are alive, although many people seem to have lost hope.
 The last wireless message re- ceived from the fliers said they were going to land about 83 degrees north and 148 west.
 Also the rumors that Eskimo reindeer herders heard a motor oil the Arctic Coast on last August l3 the day the fliers disappeared, has led us to the theory the Russians might have flown over the coast into the mountains"
 Sir Hubert returned here We'd nesday to get new engine for his plane which was disabled at Akla- vik. He also brought his propelloi to be repaired here

WASHINGTON, Feb. u.-Chair- man Carl Vinson told the House Ma val Committee today, that he will try to amend Nthe aval Expansion bill to authorize fleet big enough to protect both the At/>atic and Pa- cific coasts.
 At the same time, Chairman Vim son made public the text of the amendment he has prepared which declares that it is the fundamental naval policy" of this country to maintain a fleet adequate to defend both coasts and all insular posses sions and to provide Navy which should prove sufficient in strength to guarantee "our national secur- ity but not aggression"
 Maj. Gen Johnson Hagood. re- tired Army officer, told the com mittee that "our national defense and security is being made foot ball in politics" because Congress neglected its duties to make rules and regulations for the land and naval forces. He said further, Con- gress is letting the war making power drift into the hands of the President.

 FINANCES IN
 SOUND SHAPE
Alaska Has Bank Balance of $1,l85,oo0 at End of
 January, Report Shows

Alaska's bank balance at the end of January stood at Sl,185 ,990.51, an increase of $262, ,861 73 over the same date a year ago. according to fi- nancial report of Territorial Treas urer Oscar G. Olson submitted to Gov John w Troy The balance at the end of January, 1887, was $923,- l2878.
 Major cause of the increase, the report shows, is due to the big fish pack tax of 1886 which was paid during 1887 The fish pack was eight million cases in 1886 against a six million pack last year on which taxes will be paid during 1888. Increased mineral output also contributed to healthy Territorial bank balance.

MILITARY RULE FOR RUMANIANS
 DURING CRISIS
Goga Deposed as Sweeping Edicts Give Army
 Broad Powers

BUCHAREST, Feb LA new government with dictatorial powers to govern Rumania has been com missioned by King Carol to restore national confidence that has been severely shaken by the six week anti-semitic administration of Pre- mier Goga.
 The new Premier is Dr. Miron Cristea, 68, patriarch of the Ruman- ian Orthodox Church. He will rule without parliament by royal decree until a new constitution has been promulgated.
 Fealties of gassison officials have been temporarily dispensed with in four sweeping decrees which named garrison commandants in large cit ies, Prefex of their districts.
 Premier Cristea also made nation wide State Sies" by which persons charged with serious crimes may be tried in military courts The Pre- mier also postponed indefinitely the Chamber and Senate election set for March, and ordered officials to call assemblies for naming mayors and two assistant mayors in each vil- lage.
 f It becomes apparent that King Carol had with Premier Cristea, con- centrated much authority in the army, and some circles described the new regime as "semi-military dictatorship"
 The army was given the right to search at all times and in all cases. The control of the press was tight ened in stricter censorship.
 Business generally received the new government with evident relief and government bonds rose two to three points in an upward trending stock market.

He sought to collect insurance for his injuries received in the crash, but the com pany with which he was insured declined to pay, stating that a clause in the policy stated the insurance did not apply to death or disability loss because of or while participating in aeronautics
 An Alaskan court upheld Movers contention and also awarded $35C for attorneys fees, The Circuit Court reversed the decision as ap- piled to payment of the fees.
 Tom Mover and his wife have been Juneau residents for several years, recently moving to Seward

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1l.-Stu- dents of foreign affairs whose mem ories go back to pre-war days find similarity in conditions then and conditions now with regard to naval and armament building.
 Germany then was making the most aggressive gestures of any Flu ropean nation. Now an aggressive disposition is found in at least three nations-Germany, Italy, and Japan.
 In the three or four years before the World War in 1914, there was the same uncertainty and suspicion as to who was building, and what as now. England would hear that Germany was building something new and fancy in battleships. In- stantly there would be public de- mand that England build bigger

Grand Old Man
 Of Rowing Dies
James A. Ten Eyck, Syra- cuse Coach, Passes Away
 at Age of 86 Years

MIAMI, Florida, Feb. l1.-James A. Ten Eyck, 86, Syracuse rowing coach, is dead here as the result of coronary thrombosis.
 Syracuse University's grand old man of rowing" once summed up in eleven words all he had learned of the art in a lifetime by saying
 There's only one way to row, and that's the right way"
 "Old Jim," as he was known to the hundreds of youngsters who had been his charges, was as much part of the campus at the univer- sity as the many buildings he saw rise there after he became first coach of the crews at the institu- tiOn in 1903.
 "Old Jim says" and ''Old Jim thinks were pharses often on the lips of the men of the shells. His word to the oarsman was law. For a long time he kept his exact age secret, and that was little joke the boys had on him, for none who know the coach thought of him as an old man-despite the epithet.
 Chewed Tobacco
 He chewed tobacco and he loved old, baggy clothing. He was dog matic, but in manner that nettled only for a moment. He had few hobbies. Particularly he disliked walking. Once he said: If had to go 10 miles, I'd rather row than walk
 He even remembered his age by associating it with a yacht race. \ "The only way I can remember it is that 1851 was the year that the yacht America won the racing cup from England he said.
 In that year, on Oct. 16, he was born at Tompkins Cove on the Hud- son. He lived at Peekskill as a young man and began his rowing So young that he could not. as he put it, remember that far back.
 First Race
 His first race with partner in com petition for purse was in 1864 when he was l3 At l6 he rowed ano won his first single scull race al Sing Sing. now called Ossining.
 From then on he lived in boats He learned all about the rigging of craft, learned how fishermen went about their long trips in fail weather and in foul with little ia. tigue and then worked out his owr deductions This Knowledge came ---- 4i....-ci Ia11r1 rai..aA

Large Scale of Assistance Not to Be Given to

FIERCE BATTLES ARE
 RAGING EIGHT FRONTS
Chinese Resistance Is ln- dicated = Reinforce
 ments Are Rushed

SHANGHAI, Feb. H. = Reliable foreign sources declare that Soviet Russia has refused the Chinese plea for a large scale of assistance in the war against Japan.
 These sources assert that Sun Flo, son of the late pr. Sun Yet Sen, has been pleading China's cause at Moscow, but the Soviet Government has turned him down.
 The reason is given that Russia is not willing to flirt single-hand- ed with the possibility of a Rus sian-Japanese clash through active aid to China.
 This report came as the Chinese forces, said to be. under direct command of Gen. Chiang Kai Shek, fought to keep eight Japanese coll umns from closing in on Central China's corridor along the Lunghai Railway.
 It is understood here fierce bat ties are being fought all along the front lines and so intense is the conflict raging that the Japanese are sending heavy endorsements to conquer the great China valley.

OFFICE OF THE
GARRETT COUNTY TREASURER
Oakland, Maryland
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
In last weeks issue of The Republi-
can the distinguished Senator burst
forth again with what he called his
long epistle with reference to the no
tice sent out by this office with each
tax statement.
This notice was sent out for the pur-
pose of acquainting the taxpayers
with the law that was enacted at the
last session of the legislature, of
which the Senator was a member.
In his epistle the Senator did not
quote all the law. Section LOT, Chap
ter 1879 of the 1897 laws of Maryland
reads as follows:
"The said treasurer shall, during
the first week in September in each
and every year, give notice to all the
delinquent taxpayers of said county,
by advertisement inserted in two
newspapers published in said county,
and by handbills posted in five of the
most public places in each election
district of said county, and at the
court house door, warning them and
each of them that the payment of all
taxes then due and in arrears (Section
102 of the same Chapter says that all
county taxes are due and payable on
the first day of April) will be enforced
by advertisement and sale, unless the
same are paid before the first day of
October then next following"
Perhaps the Senator has rearranged
the calendar so that the month of Oc-
tober does not follow the month of
September.
/ have been very reliably informed
that the Senator has been advising
taxpayers to disregard the law as
quoted in the notice sent out with the
tax statments. Names of parties thus
advised can be furnished if requested).
