Royal Arch Gun nison, Jr. son of the former Federal Judge who was wellknown in Ju- neau years ago passed through here today aboard the Alaska with Mrs Gunnisin for a tour of the Territory and a series of articles on the Territory.

 70 ROYAL ARCH GUNNISON
 I never thought I'd be interview ing myself-but as a reporter you never know what's going to happen nor the strange people you may meet So here goes. And note to subscribers: Mrs Bender is to blame. T E7ef since my wife and made our last trip north, two years ago we've noted AlaSka's strides ahead. As an Alaskan (born here in Ju- neaW I may be prejudiced. But when you see the Territorys three pillars of prosperity fish, and mining-bearing an increased load and supporting the Territory so well you're glad to be able to show people on the Outside just what Alaska contributes to the national well-being, when you get the inev- itable question Whats good about Alaska?"
 What encourages me most is the information I just gathered today that the population of the Territory is on the upbound-around 80,000 understand.
 Furthermore, the fact that the Territory's great recreational fac- ilities are in line for increased pro- motion both here and through sup porting publicity outside looks to- wards progress.
 Despite today's rain and the rain we got in Ketchikan you can see it'll take more than that to dampen our enthusiasm.
 I understand, too, from talking with the tourists aboard the s. s. Alaska, on which we arrived and on which we're headed to the Vest ward that the rain hasn't dampened their good impressions of Alaska.
 And now for brief interview with myself
 How long will we be in Alaska?
 About five weeks, We are going into Fairbanks via the Alaska Rail- road with a stop-off at Mt. McKin- ley National Park; flight to Nome and return on Pacific Alaska Air way and return via the Yukon Riv- CT Route up river"
 There goes the half hour whistle and here goes the intervieW-and anyway my wife tells me I shouldn't take up perfectly good advertising space.

Brother.
By w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.

Testimony that the mother of the
slain Beulah Limerick persuaded him
to make a false statement to police
was offered today by William Edward
Paddy at the trial of former Police
man Robert F. Langdon on a charge
of numbering the girl.
Mr. Paddy. who is % and an en-
ploye of the Capital Transit Co.. was
the first witness at Langdon's trial.
He was the last person known to have
seen Miss Limerick alive, having left
her early on the morning of December
81, 1880, after bringing her home from
a dance.
Mr.. Paddy told the jury that after
he learned Miss Limerick was dead,
the girls mother, Mrs Dora Limerick,
asked him to tell detectives he was
with the girls brother. Vernon Linz
erick, on the night of the tragedy.
Under cross-examination by De-
tense Counsel E. Russell Kelly, Mr.
Paddy said he gave this mtinforma-
ton to a detective of the Homicide
Squad because Mrs Limerick had told
him it might have something to dc
with the insurance" He did not ex-
plain If the insurance in question was
on the life of Beulah.
The true story was, Mr. Paddy testi-
fed, that he did not see Vernon
Limerick until he brought Beulah to
her home, at 18 Nineteenth street Sc

WAGE BILL PLAN
SPLITS SENATORS
Labor Committee Senior
Members Disagree on
DifferentiaIs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The two senior members Of the
Senate Labor Committee agreed today
that varying minimum wage scale
was needed for different sections of
the county, but disagreed on the
method of obtaining it in wage-hour
legislation.
Senator Thomas Of Utah, chairman
of the committee. said he thought it
would be necessary to establish a
Federal board to fix a varying pay
scale.
On the other hand, Senator Borah,
Republican, of Idaho, ranking minority
committeeman. opposed a board, al
though favoring differential.
The question of a differential, to
set lower wages for those sections Of
the country with lower living stand
ards, assumed major proportions in
the Senate because of the widespread
belief that the House will pass wage
hour bill next week without such a
clause.
The Senate version of the wage
hour legislation. passed last summer.
included a wage differential. There
fore, if the House approves its pending
bill, a joint committee must effect q
compromise.
Chairman Thomas, who would head
the conferees, indicated the Senate
would prefer its own proposal.
Il am not going to support just any
sort of wage-hour legislation merely
to make sure that Congress legislates
on the question:" he said. I'VE want
a bill that will work and will do some
good"
Senator Borah said he believed
geographical designation of wage diff
ferentials, fixed in the bill itself, Of
fered the best possibility Of settling
the question.
Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi, leading the opposition OF
Southern Senators to the measure,
said he would be unwilling to ac-
cept the House provision for q fiat
minimum wage of Is cents an hour,
to be advanced later to 10 cents an
hour
I'VE are not disposed to accept q
minimum wage provision like that
when we understand that tie head
Of the Department Of Labor. who
would have charge Of enforcing it, Is
in favor of a universal wage" Sena-
tor Harrison declared.

Chairman James A. Farley Of the

He started with q statement declar-

President Roosevelt today assured
members of the Thomas Jefferson Me-
mortal Commission that he approves
the design and site selected for
the memorial, and he expressed the
hope Congress will appropriate the
necessary money at this session to start
work on the project.
The Presidents views were made
known by Representative Boylan of
New York, chairman of the commits
sion. Both the proposed design and
site at the southeast end of the Tidal
Basin in West Potomac Park have
been criticized and provoked consid-
cradle controversy.
Mr.. Boylan said the commission is
satisfied the project will not cause
the removal or destruction of any of
the japanese cherry trees bordering
the Tidal Basin, and he declared the
design would be in keeping with the
architectural beauty of the Lincoln
Memorial.
Mr.. Boylan said the President al
ready has recommended to Congress
that it make available at this session
$500,000 with which to start work on
the memorial. Mr.. Boylan expressed
the opinion this appropriation will be
provided in a deficiency bill, which
will be passed before the end of the
session.
