MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS EXTRA SESSION IS POSSIBLE IF HOOVER ELECTED Purpose Will Be to Discuss Farm Relief, Says Governor LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 26.—Gov. •Adam McMullen saiil Herbert C. Hoover told him he was thinking of calling a special session of Congress on the farm question, if elected. Continuing, the Gover nor said, ‘‘he did not say conclu sively he would do so. he said he was seriously considering a special session, pointing out that unless the session was called it would be a year before farm relief legisla tion could be enacted and another year before he could put it into op eration.” Gov. Mi Mullen said Hoover said this to him in a conference in Washington a few weeks ago. NO CONCLUSION REACHED WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Her bort Hoover declared that no conclusion had been reached re garding an extra session of Con gress to consider farm relief in a formal statement reading: “It was said at the Hoover Headquar ters that Gov. McMullen had seen Hoover recently. The question of an extra session had been rais ed many times and discussed but no decision was reached on the matter.” The Republican candidate for President spent much of the day yesterday conferring with his ad visers $ver strategy to be used during tne closing days of the cam paign. ROBINSON COMBACK N. "6;,' Oct. 2?* Taking notice of the statement of Gov. McMullen of Nebraska that Hoo ver, if elected, would call a spec ial session of Congress to dis cuss farm relief. Senator Joseph T. Robinson called upon Hcovet to speak for himself and also "tell the people in plain language Just what the farm relief plan really is.” The Democratic Vice Presiden tial nominee asked Gov. McMullen why it was necessary to keep the meeting with Hoover a secret so many weeks and how he could I believe Hoover will “do his ut most for agriculture" after Hoover has sat nearly eight years in the Cabinet of the Administration and which "has repeatedly broken promises to Agriculture."

NEW BRITISH WEEKLY SALUTES U. S. AMITY LONDON, Oct. 26.—A new week ly magazine has made its appear ance here, edited by Gilbert Fran, kan, tlie novelist, which will have a quite "different” American pol icy. Although the magazine, called “Britannia,” intends to link up the scattered sections of the British Umpire in a composite of political, socialogical and literary discus sion. one of its strong points, ac cording to Frankau, will be its American policy.

CURTIsfALKS RUBBER IN HIS OHIO CAMPAIGN _ Says Democrats Cannot Be Trusted With Tar iff Revision AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 2G Farm, relief and the tariff were dis-! cussed by Senator Charles Curtis I in the open last night in his Ohio j campaign in this rubber city. The i Republican Vice-Presidential nom-| inee quoted statistics on rubber| importations and production. Backing his statements on tariff protection, again, he argued that! the Democrats “cannot be trusted j with tariff revisions,” asserting j their proposed competitive tariff j1 meant no protection. Senator Curtis said the manufac-I ture of rubber goods in this coun- J try has increased from a value of. $3,000,000 In 1914 when the Under-j wood tariff became effective, to $1,255,000,000 in 192G. Another mystery is how they ever happened to speak of "print ing a kiss” before girls began us ing lipsticks. to be reached by sob-stuff speech- es, champagne dinners, or the 'hands across the sea' bunk and eye-wash which is so frequently employed to cloak that difference of thought between England and America, which is all the more dif ficult of understanding because we speak the same language. “We do speak the same langu age, though we don't think the same thoughts. And for that very reason I think It is vital that the press of our two countries, in stead of taking foolish digs at racial characteristics, should come out and say what they think on all subjects which touch our mu tual interests." PORT ANGELES, Wash., Oct. 26.—Thomas Rodgers, aged 76 years, who said he was the father af a Buffalo, N. Y., capitalist, dlod penniless here after a colorful life tnder an agftfftfMt name.

He did not ar rive for the wedding. HUNT ASSIGNS REASONS FOR OPPOSING PAUL Republican Senator, in Let ter to Walker, Gives Reasons for Charge In an open letter addressed to N. H. Walker, Democratic candl dae for Senator for the First Division, Senator Forest J. Hunt, of Ketchikan, sets forth his rea sons for not supporting Chnrles Benjamin, A. I,. Olts and W. L. Paul, Republican nominees for the Legislature. He charges that Benjamin was instrumental in bringing about the defeat of the measure known as the Cunnery Sanitation Bill at the last ses sion of the Legislature. He declares that Olts and Paul are making a campaign of ''prejudice against all projected enterprises by foreign corpora tions,” and characterizes Paul as "without exception, the most ego tistical, bigoted, and malicious political aspirant known to me, whose veneer of Christian pre tense is exposed by revengeful methods,” adding, "personal pow er, not public welfare, is his sole aim.” Mr. Benjamin, Senator Hunt points out, was chairman of the Houso Committee on Fisheries, which held up the Sanitation Bill until the final day of the session and that it was then so amended as to be useless and failed of passage. "Mr. Benjamin exhibited such a selfish spirit and utter disregard for public sani tation and protection as to con vince me of his unfitness to rep resent the interests of the labor ers and dwellers in Alaska,” he wrote. Concerning Mr. Paul, Senator Hunt said: "The natives must realize that their interests are identical with all other resident Alaskans, and that Mr. Paul Is being financed through the constant assessment of members of the Alaska Native Brotherhood to make constant pretense of war against certain interests, through a continued tirade of abuse and constant falsehood for the sole purpose of raising him to political power; bis ambition is to be a political boss; but in his he cannot win. As soon as it is fully realized that he is arranging the natives against the whites, he will meet liis Waterloo, and his followers will be treated as political ene mies. There is no reason for the cry of 'Indian Vote,’ as there is education and Intelligence enough among the natives to deal openly to greater advantage than en trusting their welfare to the selfish temptations of one man.” Senator Hunt, who is a life long Republican, is a warm sup porer of Delegate Sutherland, lie has served two terms in the Alaska Senate, once as its Presi dent, and until very recently was allied with and received tile sup port of the Paul faction in the Division. Bankers Are Robbed in Polite Hold-up i __ CHICAGO. Oct. 26. Hold-up men robbed Melvin Traylor, Pres ident of the United State?

Priscilla Bonner who scored with Harry in "Tin Strong Man," Is one of tlie main causes of romance. Alma Hen. nett, silky vamp, is another. Reversing the usual course cl ambitious youth, Harry switcher from a Rolls Royce to a bicycle vintage of 1908 overnight. Tin Rolls had been easy to secure; there Is no dearth of expensive cars in Hollywood. But it tool the prep, man more than a weol to locate a bicycle old enough tt serve the purpose and still able tc navigate. Although righ in boy arid gir romance, with moments of heaviei fervor, the story is leased on mother love theme. Gladys Brock well plays Harry’s mother and A1 bert Roscoe his father. The placr is San Francisco; the time is be fbre and after the famous fire. MARY PICK FOR D IS~Tn “SPARROWS,” COLISEUM -:-1 Mary Plckford, who has no been seen on a screen in Juneat for a long time, returned to th« i Coliseum theatre last night in "Sparrows” and this will be the feature again for tonight. “Sparrows" is the story of a baby farm, and the neglect and inhumanity shown to the waifs, a stirring theme centered around the kidnapping of a baby from wealthy parents, scenes laid in the Ever glades of Florida, abounding in riuicksands and alligators, pathetic in spots and thrilling in others with comedy to relieve the tanse situations. Mary Hick ford is cast as "Mam ma Mclly,” anil children predomi nate the cast which Is colorful from all standpoints of nature and settings.. “SPANGLES” COMING TO PALACE SUNDAY Another little girl lias "reached for the stars”—and grasped her heart’s desire. if you have seen and enjoyed the work of Marian Nixon as a screen leading woman, you will want to see “Spangles,” for in this big Universal-Jewel to be seen at the Palace Sunday—pretty Marian attains the coveted goal of stardom, or rather co-stardom with Pat O'Malley. Heretofore It has been her pleas ant lot to play opposite some male 3tar, such as Reginald Denny, Ray mond Griffith, Hoot Gibson, Bert Lytell and others. In parts like these it is necessary for the lead Ing-woman or leading man, as the case may be. to subordinate some what their work a’nd their person I ality, to that of the star. How ever, Marian has always done this with such good grace and charm, and with such sincere interest in the good of lim picture as a whale, that she has at last won the guerdon of stkrdbm, beginning with the present joint starring ve hicle. "Spatigtes" was directed by Prank O'Connor, with a supportin', cast lrfduding Itobafl Baswarrh, Gladys Rrockwell, Jay Emmet,' l Grace Gordon and others. t~ “CYCLONE OF RANGE AT COLISEUM SATURDAY A Western picture that Is gr.p* ping from its first flash on the screen to the finish is "Cyclone of the Kange,” an PBO production t starting Toni Tyler which will be I seen at the Coliseum tdmorroA’,' matinee hnd night. llero is a stirring story of the west, with all thk thrill A, action, hard riding and j qiiick shooting which are a part of! the life in that rugged country.

Horn into Tam many, he has done more to make it re spectable than any other hundred men; horn in the Catholic Church, he has done more than any other hundred men to rid tlie world of false notions about the Catholic faith. As Governor of the greatest State in the Union he has dis played such worthy ability that the Democratic Party made him its candidate for President of the United States, in the hope that his intelligence and morality might be introduced into National af fairs. Yet a Protestant preacher in New York lately declared that Al. Smith was the greatest menace of world morality. Abuse is never true; the man who engages in violent phases of it is not only a liar, but mean. We do not agree with the conclusion that the tenement districts of New York are necessarily "plague spots." The working people of New ork have usjally lived in the tenement districts. There is no place in the world where there is, and always has been, a better class of efficient and patiotic working people than in New York. Otherwise, the famous "Globe;sights" man is about right. ABOUT SELF-GOVERNMENT. A local supporter of the Controller Bill ad mits that the hill dots not really propose self government for Alaska. He contended that we missed the real chance to get that in 1912 when the Wlckersham limited Territorial government hill was passed. Hi' said we ought then to liuve got a lull Territorial form of government. He then declared that Judge Wlckersham had let ters showing that the editor of The Empire favored his measure. This matter has been explained so cften that the people understand It, or ought to. The editor of The Empire and others endorsed the Wiekersham Bill, after he had made many changes in it, giving the people more power than he had at first proposed, upon his declaration that it was the best he could get and that it was only in tended as a first step toward self-government. However, before the first Legislature had con- vened, President Tuft, who had signed the Wick ersham Bill, asked Congress to give the Territory a •'full Territorial form of government,” such as the other Territories had. In 1913, a year i later, i re ident Wilson repeated the request. Gov. Walter E. Clark had asked for it in his 1 1912 report. Gov. Strong urged it in his first report. The Empire frequently d-d Delegate Wick- ersham to take the next -,ep b. acting on the Presidential endorsements of a full Territorial form of government. He did not do it, and that was the reason that T Empire in 1914 refused i to support Delegate Wi ktrsham for a fourth i term. It was all explai time after time then and afterward. Mr Sutherland says lodge Wickeraham thought the Territory was not ready for county 1 governments. That is not whai Judge Wicker- sham said at that time. He said he could not get a full Territorial form of government. It is true that he said in 1816 that county govern- 1 ments would ruin the Territory, hut lie at that y time said we ought to have Statehood, whicl would cost a lot more than fulj Territorial forn of government. If what Mr. Sutherland says ii true, it simply justilies the opinion that foreec itself on The Empire at the time, that Judgi Wickersham was never a real friend of self government. That, of course, proves nothing ai i to the issue as it is before the people now lifteen years later. By aiding in turning the fisheries of the 1 Territory over to the Secretary of Commerce, with his Bureau of Fisheries, Mr. Sutherland has em phasized the need for a full Territorial form ol government. It is now needed more than, ever before. It would rmet a situation that no Con troller Bill could touch. There seems to he enough people in New York to give rousing receptions to all the candidates. One would think that Gotham was unanimous for Hoover by the way they greeted him at his big Madison Square Garden speech. However, there is a lurking feeling that New York has not yet done her best in rallies for this year. Gov. Smith and Franklin Roosevelt, candidate for Governor, will speak at Madison Square Garden November 2. Frank Manley proposed to round-up all the bears in Alaska and free the Territory of them. If he would include the wolves and coyotes those caribou treks would become larger and there would be a. large increase in the population of all edible game animals. P. S.—He might include stream salmon fishermen with the bears, wolves and coyotes, without hurting the country. Commenting upon Lindbergh's courage in jeopardizing his popularity with a part of the people by announcing that he was for Hoover, Will Rogers suggests that lie probably made a mistake. "Look at Coolidge,” he says. He is not risking his popularity by coming out for anybody for President. Prohibition and Health. (New York World.) President Samuel W. Lambert of the New i ork Academy of Medicine in his protest against the Government’s “exasperating and inquisitorial” interference with alcoholic prescriptions did not use one of the most effective arguments. The medical profession has really a double grievance against prohibition. This inquisitorial interference is all in the name of effective enforcement. Yet in other directions the enforcement is so deliberately in effective that the medical profession finds pro hibition dumping upon it a tremendous increase in alcoholism. This increase is not a mere matter of allegation. It has been demonstrated with an impressive volume of proof by a dozen authorities. We have last year's report cf Dr. I .on is I.. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life, on a death rate from alcoholism trebled be tween 1920 and 1926 in California and Penn sylvania, and quadrupled in Illinois; the studies of our State Health Commissioner, Dr. Matthias Nieoll, who points cut that the increase affects rural as well as industrial States; articles from prominent medical teachers; and, most striking or all. the figures of Chief Medical Examiner Nor i is of this city, who has found the mortality from alcoholism larger than that from vehicular accidents and gas poisoning combined. The same ’’enforcement” which cuts down prescription alcohol, carefully administered by the medical profession, throws upon the pro fession the burden of meeting increased disease from poor and poisoned alcohol. There Are No Canadians! (Winnipeg Free l’ress.) From a survey of the Canadian press in re cent months we should say that the one ques tion upon which there is no diversity of opinion is this matter of forbidding Canadians to describe themselves as Canadians in the tilling of official declarations in which information as to racial origin is required. It is not only in connection with the decennial taking of the census that anadians are told by officials—very often in a cheeky manner—that they must not so describe themselves. Our provincial governments are as culpable as the Dominion Government in enforc ing this prohibition in tile compilation of vital statistics. A proud father filling out a birth certificate is confronted with the task of setting out what "race" his child belongs to, the word 'Canadian" having been barred by the bureau 1 l l1' t’hild may be of the sixth generation of Canadians, but he is pot a Canadian. If he is the great-great-grandson in the male line of descent of an immigrant from Finland, he goes into our records, both Provincial and Dominion, as a Finn; and a century and a half hence his gicat-great-grandson will also be a Finn if the bureaucrats have their way. The rule—although made in the Interests of scientific accuracy'_is 90 riulous that the officials, who are called apon to enforce it, cannftt justify it, and often [eel obliged to resort to impudent brow-beating 1 ecalcitrant Canadians who protest against it ases or this sort constantly arise.

Ej i muni, WV.1. IVZO. Tho honeymoon checks out when ihe bride reaches the conclusion that while the groom's mother may have been the goods as a cook she was an 18-carat false alarm at training her boy to be a husband. borne girls hate to sit down be cause they are modest but about the only thing that would make the most of them refuse to sit down would be a first lesson on horseback riding. An old-fashioned mother is one who still thinks it is simply scan dalous for daughter to get in at 1 or 5 o'clock in the morning. It is getting so a lot of girls no longer get married to get a hus band, hut just go tripping up the aisle to get a thrill and a wad of alimony. If men's fashions changed like ihose of the Women you always would be able to spot the married man by his old-fashioned clothes. Another thing the boss at home raises the roof about is that the chances of her meal ticket ever getting to be boss at the office are as near zero as they are of him ever getting to be boss at home. We have met a good many par ents, but never any who were all puffed up because daughter gets along so much better at dancing school than she docs at high school.

Christmas Cards—Empire. lillllllllllllllHIIIUIIIlillllllllllllllllllllk STATEMENT OF MRS. WEBSTER A number of inquiries have been made at the off ire of the Telephone Company within the past few days regarding the tapping of telephone wires by the Prohibition Officers. In explanation of this we feel it is due our patrons to state that the Telephone Company has not given and will not give permission to the Pro hibition Officers, or anyone else to tap or other wise interfere with telephone wires. We wish to give every assistance to the offi cers in enforcing all the laws including the pro hibition law, hut no law authorizes us to permit any of the officers to interfere with the telephone service of our patrons. Considerable misundertsanding seems to have developed as a result of a recent case tried in the District Court, and in explanation of this we wish to state that the wdres which were interferfed with in this case were in the apartments of the Prohibi tion Officers themselves; that is to say, they did not interfere with the service of any other patrons. Even this was without the sanction of the telephone company and it was not authorized, and no such procedure will he authorized by the company. The Telephone Company is a public service corpora tion. The wires and telephones and all appliances belong to the company and are rented to subscrib ers, and no subscriber has any right to interfere with the service, nor to change the service which the company furnishes, without permission of the company. This is made a misdemeanor by Section 1 of Chapter 53 of the Session Laws of Alaska of 19J9. r i r S i I Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihhiii iiimiiiiiiiniiHiiiiiiiimiMiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimiiiii.

1929 CRUISER RACE ASSURED, SAYS WHITTIER Pacific Coast Yachtsmer Hold Re-union Meeting— Plan Next Contest The Capital-tO-Capital cruise; yacht race, Olympia, Wash., to Ju lte&u, Alaska, will be run durinj the summer of 1939. This wa1 the decision reached at the re union of tlu> yachtsmen of the 192! cruise held in Tacoma, Wash., or October first, according to M. S Whittier, chairman of th- Juneat committee of the Chamber f Com merce. who was a guest at the re. union banquet and was present a.' representative of the Juneau Cham. Iter of Commerce during severe conferences held In Olympia and Tacoma. Mr. Whittier, Mrs. Whittier and their daughter, Mary Jeannette, just returned home from the Sound on the Princess Alice. Hold Big Banquet “The reunion banquet tendered the yachtsmen by the Tacoma Yacht Cluli waff the lnr r gather, ing of yachtsmen ever held in the northwest," said Mr. Wiiittier in speaking of the meeting today. “Kepiesentatives were present from the yacht clubs of Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle and Bellingham, and all but one of the Captains in the 1928 cruise were present, to. gether with a majority of the members of the crews of the yachts. They were accompanied by their wives and sweethearts and when the banquet was served it was estimated 250 were in at tendance. The dinner was served in tlie spacious dining room at the club house of the Tacoma Yacht lull, which is beautifully located cn the shore of the Sound. Following the banquet the din. 1ng room was cleared of tallies and seats arranged for the social and business session of the evening. Tlie Commodore of the Tacoma yacht club gave a hearty welcome to the guests and the meeting was turned over to C( mmodore l)r. R. A. Rich, owner and skipper of the yacht Argosy. After the Cap tains and crews who had partici pated in the 1928 race had been presented by Dr. Rich, moving pic tures were shown of the race from the start at Olympia to tlie fin ish at Juneau, including many lo cal views of Juneau, Mendenhall and Taku glaciers. These pic tures had been taken by members of the crews of (lie yachts amlj while none claimed to be profe! sional photographers the pictures’ were said to be the finest Alaska! views ever shown on the coast.! O'er an hour was taken in .shew ing these pictures, which, while mostly scenic in nature, contained; many humorous views of the crews taken while in action on the yachts. These reels ure to be shown in Pacific Coast and East ern yacht clubs during the winter. Plaques Are Prerented “Between the different reels presentations were made to the yacht Captains of the bronz placques donated by the Junea and Olympia Chambers of Com merce; the certificates of membei ship in the International Alask Cruising Club provided by U: Rich as its President, togetbi I with a handsome photograph; album containing views of th race, which albums bad been es •pecially prepared and decorate and were presented as persona gifts to the skippers from Adolp: Schmidt, skipper of the Winn’fro: and a member of the Olynipi yacht club. During tae ousiuess session th question was presented as t whether the Capital to Capita j race should he run in 'i h r were some arguments against 1 from yacht owners who deshei to participate in the Ini trnatIona yacht racc'5' in Vancouver, ia Juij and who felt that a long rac> like the Olympia to Juneau even would be better attended If belt every other year. While a numbc-i of yachtsmen concur;m1 in thi. opinion, yet the major1 ty beliertn j the race should he held in l!i2t in order to defin;,«ly ostahlisl the race as one of the leading events of the Pacific Coast. Aftet I he race next year they also felt the participants would be heitet j able to decide whether it should I lie held annually or not. Upon cote being taken it was pnani j mously decided to again run the j race next summer. Cruise Club Active “Upon vote taken it wa decided j that all future races should be run under the auspices of the Inter national Alaska Cruising Club and the rules and regulations of the American Power Iloat Association 1 The idea of different yacht clubs of the Sound sponsoring the races from year to year was discussed, hut was met with disfavor by the Olympia Yacht club who claimed the origination of the race, and stated they were financially ihh to continue sponsoring with the assistance of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, This matter is still under discussion and will be decided by a Rules and Regulation committee composed of represen tatives of all yacht clubs.

Request has been made of the Olympia-Juneau committee to establish an addi tional class of entiants as to in clude yachts above 65 feet in length. This will undoubtedly be done in tire new regulations. News paper clippings were shown n* the meeting which had been cut from papers published in nearly every slate in (he Union, which showed the immense advertising value the race had for Puget Sound and Alaska.
