Delegate Sutherland
Answers Treadway’s
Attacks On Alaska
Washington.'—Replying to the at
fjit'ks on Alaska by Congressman
Treadway in the lower house of Con
jgress, Delegate Dan Sutherland said:
“Give us self-government in Alaska
»*nd you will get rid of the paternal
ism you are complaining of.”
The Delegate then turned his atten
'ttaon to Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, asserting that he is responsi
ble for the alleged fisheries monopoly
in Alaska. “It is a spectacle to make
:angels weep, this high priest of
American monopoly twisting the indie,
-rubber tail of the British Lion,” the
Delegate declared, referring to the
♦commerce secretary’s efforts to break
•down the British monopoly of the raw
irubber market.
Delegate Sutherland complained
ithat there is monopoly of Alaska
.transportation, due to the provisions
♦ »f the Jones shipping act. He ap
pealed to Congress to break up the
’fish monopoly, advancing the argu
ment that there are more independent
ifisherinen in British Columbia than
iin Alaska, notwithstanding the fact
•.that British Columbia has about one
ifourth the resources.
.Referring to the railroad situation,
tthe Delegate said he could place the
_ Alaska Railroad on the New York
market tomorrow if it were granted
tthe same concessions in minerals that
'were donated to the California rail
iroads in the pioneer days.
The reason for the decrease in pop
tulation in Alaska, the Delegate con
ttended, is the general movement to
>ward tlo' cities which has decreasi 1
tthe agricultural population of a
:score of states. He urged more lib
■ eral policies in the disposal of lands
:and forests in the Territory, and con
•cluded by charging that the Standard
•Oil Company, now drilling in the Cold
Bay district, has not received a
i&quarc deal from the government,
•considering the amount of money
.•spent. He said the company should
lt>e given greater concessions.

DISINHERIT DAUGHTER
FOR MARRYING A JEW

song writer and producer of revues,
and Miss Ellen Mackay, daughter of
Clarence H. Mackay, head of the Pos
tal Telegraph Company, were married
here yesterday, the ceremony being
performed by a clerk in the municipal
building.
When the father was informed
later of the marriage he issued a
statement sayin gthe wedding was a
complete surprise to him, having been
performed "without my knowledge or
consent.” At the same time the cable
king took immediate steps to disin
herit his daughter.
The father is a prominent layman |
in the Catholic church, and the daugh- ;
ter is a devout Catholic also, and it is j
understood between her and her hus-1
band, who is a Jew, that their children j
will be brought up in the Catholic |
faith.
The marriage and the events result
ing from ini are giving local society j
gossips much to talk about.

One of the reports is that the plot
was backed by a desire for a mon
archist renaissance and that a deal
had been made with the former kai
ser and the former crown prince of
Bavaria.
The latest to be arrested in the net
is General Haits, professor of carto
graphy at the military academy.
Prince Ludwig Windisch Graetz, who
confessed he was the ringleader of
the plot, told the police that his first
aim was for revenge for the treaty of
Trianon, and also to refcoup his own
fortunes lost in gambling and with
dissolute women.
The plot, which embraced the coun
terfeiting of 30,000,000,000 in franc
notes, lias aroused all Europe. The
scandal threatens to overthrow the
movement to break up the fascisti and
a huge right-about-face on the part of
the government.

Leo Margules, a former well known
business man of Seward and Cordova,
is noov in Miami, Florida. To a
friend he writes, in part: “This is
some boom city; there never has been
anything like it. It doesn’t seem pos
sible, but a year or so ago you couH
ouy land for S10 an acre, and the
same land now sells for $25,000 an
acre. But it cannot possibly last any
onger than next year. Of course, one
•annot tell at that. About everybody
aere seems to think the boom will last
'or five years, but I can’t see it.”
