Nome May

Supply Drawn Over Snow in
Dramatic Dog Race May Be

Check Disease Ravages
By E. R. HYDAHL,
Vnltereul Service Special Correspondent.
Nome, Alaska, Feb. 1.—The most
dramatic dog team race in the history
of Alaska will end in victory at about
S tomorrow morning when the
"muslier" of the historic relay will
deliver a precious package containing
diphtheria anti-toxin in plague
slricken Nome.
It will he a victory of the old
order, which so often passes. Al
though the world has moved far
^ihead since dog teams first carried
0^Nhe thin line of civilization into the
heart of Arctic Alaska, it is the
trusty vehicle of the pioneer which
is to deliver "hope'' to a town in the
grip of fear.
But in this emergency, the pre
eminence of the old order may pass
after all. it devoleped tonight. For
anti-toxins which the dog-team re
lay brings will not be sufficient and
Nome tonight sent out a plea that
airplanes he used to bring in addi
tional supplies.
Not Sufficient.
Dr. "Welsh, the line doctor who has
battled the. spread of the plague so
successfully thus far. declared tonight
that the million units of anti toxin
being sent by the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce will arrive too late if the
relief effort is confined to a repeti
tion of the straining, racing dogs,
creaking sleds and shouting, whip
cracking drivers, even if these again
be the record holders of the entire
northern territory.
"The anti toxins which axe speeding
toward us tonight on sleds may pos
sibly check the ravages of the dis
ease,” Dr. Welsh declared tonight,
but they will not be sufficient.
"If more cases appear—and that is
likely, despite the fact that the popu
lation has almost locked itself indoors
in order to avoid the danger of con
tagion—the shipments of more than
a million units of anti toxin wttich I
understand is leaving .Seattle by
steamer. probably will be too laic, un
less airplanes are used to bring it
to us.
Air Trip Feasible.
"Messages received here tonight
contain he suggestion that the gov
ernment send the form ua filer. Brick
Nelson. In a heavy plane capable of
‘ urking any wea>ii«r. This I believe
to be advisable. I.’ ,t can be arranged.
"1 also hear thut Hoy Darling is
ready for a dash from Fairbanks and
H r 1 he proposes to bring with him
Kalph P. Maekte., a newspaperman
who Is also an aviator."
The relief of this town by air ex
peuitiona is perfectly feasible. The
trip could be made for most of the
distance over the Ice along the wate.
front of the Bering Sea. According
j repenv . ■ 1 v, , here this ice. for
• greater part of the distance. Is
ra-fci'i end would offer better land
ing facilities !ii e;<, i> ct mishap than
-.. veto'r usually meet wilh in over
: id flights in lees rugged country.
\o \f» (a*e*.
Xi .1-* is a happier town than in
many dry*. Its inhabitants live with]
rjie r'C-it of the great telav race,
.nowing each hardship that they face
and the physical cost of the dash
through the frozen north. No classic
n ee for honors was ever like this.
But beyond the«o things, Nome has
watched 24 hours pass without the
reporting of a single new cnee of the
plague anil line seen doubts appear in
som» cases where suspects had been
quarn ntined
Nome does not know, for a certain
ty, who will come racing down the
trail, waving and shouting, victor In
the last relay, to be greeted with
joy and relief by Itr. Welsh and Mins
Emily Morgan. Nome’s single trained
nurse, partners in tbo silent heroism
^^of their profession*.
< hain Being Forged.
But probably the man will be Gun
nar Kaazon.
The relax arrived at Old Woman at
SkiO last night. There, t.'harlee Trae
ger of Fnalakleet received the pre
cious package and started on the long
trail to hi* home In a thrilling night
drive. •«* HHHB
From tills point on, Nome knows
nothing definite regarding the links
in the chain, hut only that the chain
is being forged. Three relays con
stitute the rest of the trip, it is
thought.
Leonard Sepalla. winner of the all
Alaskan sweepstakes, whose record
breaking run held the attention of
the world, has done his Job; given his
dog* and himself a scant margin of
rest, and la understood now to lie
swinging backward over the trail—
this time at a leisurely pace and un
conscious of hav ing again become a
world figure.

Plan to Market
Potatoes Given
by Railway Man
Financier Suggests Method
by Which Producers of
Spuds May Control and
Direct Trade.
Washington, Feb. 1.—B. F. Yokum,
railroad financier, whose co-operative
marketing plan is embodied in the
Curtis Aswell bill, has addressed a
brief to the house and senate agri
culture committees outlining a
method by which potato producers in
his opinion might profitably organize,
control and direct their marketing.
By applying the marketing plan of
the Curtis-Aswell bill to the potato in
dustry, he said, the farmer instead of
the dealer would control prices and
distribution. The consumer would
benefit, he added, from reduction of
the present number of commissions
from four to one through closer con
tact with the producer.
Assuming that 70 per cent of the
marketable potatoes would be handled
under his co-operative plan, Yokum
estimated the expense at 4 1cent;,
a bushel, including half cent to ap
ply on a government loan, one cent
for establishing a #50,000,000 perma
nent Rurplus fund, and one cent for
acquisition of warehouse property.
He was quoted in a statement, is
sued by q.he Fa rmer-to-Con sumer
league, as declaring the president's
agricultural commission In its report,
entirely eliminated the necessary
financial assistance to aid the farmer
effectively to organize."
“It leaves the bannrupt farmers
still bannrupt," he added. “In the
meantime, it Is quite obvious that the
distributors will he placet! in a much
stronger position, and they have
nothing to worry about. The con
sumer seems to have been entirely
forgotten."

Washington, Feb. J.—The general

Producers of tlie major farm crops,
such as cotton and wheat, were ad

It said, "are not advisable this year."

"General business prosperity dur

maintain the -domestic demand for
the better grades of certain products.
"It is not assured, however, that
the industrial improvement of the
first half of 1925 will continue into
1926 at the same high level, and
should there be a reduction in bus!

Congestion Holds
Up Major Bills
Doubtful if Much of Admin
istration Program Can
Be Completed.
Washington, Feb. 1.—Swinging into
tlie final month of the session, the
house and senate face increasingly
congested calendars with leaders
more than ever in doubt that the
major elements of the administration
program can be enacted Into lajv by
March 4.
During this week, the house will
determine the fate of the admin
istration postal pay and rate bill
passed by the senate, also will act on
tlie first public buildings bill in 11
.'ears and will pass the independent
offices appropriation hill.
At the same time, the senate will
take up in order the house $75,(100,000
good roads hill, the emergency of
fleers retirement measure and the
house hill for the purchase of the
t ape Cod canal. The last two meas
tires are certain to provoke sharp
< ontroversies.
The preliminary move to translate
Into law tlie recommendations of the
president's agricultural commission
will be taken tomorrow with the be
ginning of brief hearings before the
house agriculture committee. The
senate committee plans lo start In
dependent hearings Tuesday with s
view to expedition, but leaders gen
erally are dubious that final action
v.ill be had on the program at this
session.
Conferees on tlie Muscle Shoals hill
will strive to reach an agreement this
week. Preliminary discussions on the
t.'nderwood leasing measure have
been concluded and the managers
will begin actual adjustment of dif
ferences within a day or two.

Russo-Jap Treaty

Power in World.
By Associated rress.
Taris, Feb. 1.—The Russo-Japanese
treaty today received considerable at
tention because evening newspapers,
which speek of "the development of
soviet influence and the bolshevizing
of Asia," as fraught with grave con
sequences. The newspapers say the
uneasiness shown In America and
England over the treaty is compre
hensible, as It appears to be a men
ace to Anglo-Saxon power tn the
world.
The Temps thinks that danger of
Germany's taking the head of a Rus
sian - Chinese - Japanese combination
does not exist at present, hut say* if
the soviets succeed in Asia the Russo
Japanese treaty may be the starling
point for a wide new policy. The
newspaper considers that Japan's re
solve to treat with the Moscow gov
ernment is due to Japan's desire to
take up a position before the soviet
government and the United States
ran reach an understanding, which
it declares is to l>e one of the first re

of State Hughes.
"Russia's play is perfectly plain."
the Temps adds. "Fearing Japan as
an obstacle to winning Asia to bol

with Japan and seeking to involve
Japan In an anti-European and anti
American policy until the day Russia

Two Important Functions
Washington, Keb. 1.—"In lie con

how the federal government may
give additional aid to agriculture, the
presidents agricultural conference
has found that In many cases the
desired assistance may he provided
by a more efficient administration
of existing governmental agencies,
rather than by the creation of nets
agencies or activities. In many in
stances more eITtvtive administration
requires only the adoption of a more
sympathetic or aggressive attitude on
the part of the government officials
in charge in the formulation of poli
cies ami their application to agrieul
ture situations which arise from
lime to time, in order to secure the
desired result; while in others there
is need for Increased facilities of

make the existing agencies full}' ef

The conference' presents a report
of Its findings concerning adminis

these matters to which it has thus
far been able to give careful consid

"The activities of many diffeient
departments and agencies of the fed

activities may be divided into two
major types: service and regulatory

Herrin, III., Feb, 1.—Another pistol
fight stirred Herrin early today, and
when the smoko had cleared away, it
was found that a man representing
himself as an officer seeking to ar
rest a kl.msman had been shot to
death in the l.vmar hotel bv Police
man Rufus Whitson after the alleged
officer had wounded Policeman Pint
Stephens ami terrorized hotel em
ployes. Tiie latest affray came while
.-Sheriff Galligan was seeking martial
law in Herrin. Quiet prevailed to
night.
The man slain by Officer Whitson
had given his name as Joseph
Phillips and also as Johnson, and
once said that lie came from Spring
field, III. H-i was accompanied by
two men when he was slain, but
they escaped. They were not recog
nized by ihe officers who were pres
ent.
Phillips, when slain, wore a hat
that belonged to Sheriff Galligan of
Williamson county, and it was said
that he called on the sheriff sever-1
times of (Wi .
Helped Self to Hat,
Sheriff Oalligan, who had gone to
the capital to confer with Adjutant
General Black about the need o£
troops, had said that Phillips had
called several times, but did not di
vulge any particular business
Sheriff Galligan, before his pre
sumed departure for Springfield, said
that Phillips had taken the hat from
the jail without permission. The hat
was identified through s cleaner 3
mark.
The shooting today came on the
heels of the slaving of .s Glm
Young and Deputy Sheriff Ora
Thomas, who shot each other In the
lobby of the European hotel a few
days ago. As soon as their funerals
had been held and a coroner's jury
had returned a verdict that they slew
each other. Sheriff Galligan requested
troops be returned to Herrin to pre
vent a serious outbreak.
This request vvas under considers

klansmen. He said that Lisenby,
who had figured in the Young shoot
ing as either the object or the flier
of a stay shot before the duel be
