' WANTSMONEY
FORTERRITORY
Bound for Hyder, where he is going
to look over the mining situation and
the general condition of the district
from which such favorable reports
are being received, Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
Governor of Alaska, was in Ketchikan
Saturday night, and yesterday morn
ing he left for Portland canal. He
is accompanied by his brother-in-law,
Frederick Coudert of New York.
“Reports from all sections indicate
that the run of fish is not so great
this year as in former seasons,” said
the Governor, “and it becomes more
evident that steps must be taken at
once to protect the industry, to propa
gate fish and to see that the streams
of the territory are not looted.
* “Unfortunately, the funds available
for the propagation and protection of
the fish at this time are entirely in
ft adequate. For the bureau of fisheries
there is only about $125,000 available
for Alaska, and of this amount $90,
000 is being spent at the Pribiloff
islands, leaving only $35,000 for the
^est of Alaska. That sum is not
nearly enough to carry on the work.
“During the year, many thousands
of dollars are collected for fines for
violation of the fur and fisheries
laws, and I believe that this money
should be used for the industry in
Alaska. At present these fines and the
money for furs seized by the govern
ment are turned into the treasury of
the United States, and it does not
come back to Alaska except by spe
cial appropriation.
“If the money from these sources
were available this year, it would be
possible to give much better protec
tion to the streams, and to devote
some to hatcheries.
“There is no question,” the Gov
ernor concluded, “that special leg
islation is needed if the fisheries are
to be protected, and I believe that the
# only way in which proper laws can be
secured for the industry is for the
national government to turn the fish
eries over to the territory. This
1 should be turned over to Alaska in
the form of complete home rule.”—

MEXICAN OIL*PROBLEM
NOT YET INTRODUCED
IN FEDERAL CONGRESS
MEXICO CITY, July 15 (Corres
pondence of Associated Press).—Al
though the Mexican congress was
called into extraordinary session on
May 1, for the purpose of passing,
among others, a petroleum law that
would carry out the provisions of Ar
ticle 27 of the new constitution,
which nationalizes oil lands, up to
the present time the question has not
A been brought up for discussion in
9 either the senate or the chamber of
deputies.
El Democrata states that the two
petroleum commissions appointed by
the lower House are considering the
objection raised by the foreign oil in
terests that Article 27 is in direct op
position to Article 4 of the constitu
tion, which prohibits retroactive leg
islation.
Unofficial reports are to the effect
that President Carranza has washed
his hands of the matter and has put
it up to congress to find a solution.
If this theory is based on fact, ac
i cording to a high officer of an Amer
ican oil corporation here, the pro
longed delay of congress in taking
up the oil question would indicate
that its leaders are having a difficult
time to reconcile the provisions of
the constitution.
COST OF EDUCATION
IS ON THE INCREASE
4 --
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6 (Asso
ciated Press correspondence).—The
cost of education here increased $2.52
for each pupil last year. In the pre
vious five years, the cost of public
education increased only $1.08 for
each pupil.
Philadelphia last year paid $40.15
for the instruction of each of it; 235,
258 pupils in the public schools. In
1917 the cost was only $37.63 a pupil.
In the last year there were from
thirty-six to forty-four pupils to each
teacher.
In its total amount of expenditures
for education in Philadelphia, the
board spends more, with the excep
tion of New York and Chicago, than
any other city in the nation. New
York spends about $42,000,000 annual
ly on its schools and Chicago spends
I about $17,000,000. Philadelphia last
year spent $11,800,787.

LONDON MOVIE MEN |
RESENT INTRUSION OF |
AMERICAN PRODUCERS j
LONDON, July 17 (by mail)-Man- jj
agers of London’s moving picture |j
theaters are up in arms against an jj
American film-producing firm which m
has acquired sites for motion picture |j
theaters in London. Their agitation g
reached the house of commons today, J
Avhen a member asked the president |j
of the board of trade whether the jj
government was doing anything to g
stop it. He was told that 5t did not g
seem to be a matter in which the g
government could interfere, and g
called the member’s attention to the jj
fact that imported films are subject ||
to duty. H
London picture theater managers |j
assert that they have been good cus- j
tomers of the producing company, g
I and that the latter should not now |j
plan to compete with them on a large
scale. - H
MODERN STYLES ARE |
CRITICIZED BY PRIEST |
MEXICO CITY, July 19 (by mail).— j
Modern styles of dress and coiffure m
were the subject of much criticism jj
recently by Doctor Jose Moray del g|
Rio, archbishop of Mexico, who read |j
an open letter to his parishioners de- m
claiming against extremes in toilet
and asking mothers to refrain from jj
appearing in exaggerated costumes jj
and from allowing their children to jj
do so. The archbishop termed mod
ern styles “an advance toward pa- g
ganism,” and recommended that in g
church at least the women return to jj
the use of the veil and mantilla.
NORWEGIAN LABOR
SPLITTING INTO GROUPS
LONDON, July*~l4 (by mail).—
There has been a split in the Norwe
gian labor party after its decision to
affiliate with the Moscow interna
tional group, according to informa
tion received here. A new demo
cratic group composed of moderates
and headed by Mr. Buen, president
of the Starthing, has been formed in
opposition to the party.
The labor movement in Norway is
organized somewhat on the lines of
the British movement. There is a
trale union organization including all
the skilled unions, with a total mem
bership of about 108,000. This
guards the economic interests of the
workers.
Purely political questions are dealt
with by the Socialist party or Nor
wegian labor party, which, it is
stated, h£fs a paying membership of
94,000 members.
