$•>00 fine as the maximum punish
ment. and does not allow jail or
prison sentences. Under the Alaska
*aw the possession of the liquor is
tn offense , and the punishment may
be a fine of $1,000 with imprison
neut added.
Judge John II. Winn asked for a
new trial for Wagner and Abatte on
the grounds that they should have
V**n represented under the tenns of
he Volstead Act.
Judge Jennings, after having the
question under advisement for sov

lid not repeal the Alaska law. The
Volstead act specifically states that
where other legislation does not con-,
lift it shall remain in force.
Judge Jennings in giving his op

ing landlords and committees in tin
city council have been investigating
inc eases in rents ranging up to 100
and . von 200 percent.
S* '-eml hundred families have solv
ed their individual housing problems
by making their homes in house boats
which are moored in the blanches
of the Chicago river, the Calumet and
lnk< s in south Chicago. Once in pos

ly has to pay $1. a month for the pri- j
v of mooring his craft. If he does
not like his location he can move his ^
home boat elsewhere. Many of these j

rooms, parlor, dinning room, kitchen
and two bedrooms.
In some cases groups of tenants |

The housing corporation, which has
been financed by banks and business

to build a row of model homes in

complaints and, when increases were

A proposal was made to erect

NORTH AMERICA CAN
FIND GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
B^ VISITING PARAGUAY
BUENOS AIRES. May 1- Para
guay is a land of wonderful opportun
ity for North Americans, says W. L.
Schurz, United States trade commis
sioner who has just completed a sev
n months’ invest'gation of its resour
ces. Ten million dollars in American
money has thus far been invested in
the little republic but in the opinion
of Mr. Schurz, millions more of Ain*
»ri< an capital would find a profitable
return there.
Nearly the size of the state of Mis
>iui and with less than 1,000,000 in
habitant*, Paraguay has untouched rc
mirces of amazing variety and possi
bilities, Mr. Schurz told a correspond
ent of the Associated Press.
“Over half the country is forested
with the finest hard woods in the
vorld'b he said. “Its soil and climate
arc capable of raising anything un
!er the sun. including wheat and ba
nanas. Experiments have proved that
more cotton to the acre can be raised
>n Paraguyan soil than on any other
-oil where cotton is culitvated at pres
ent. It is good for tobacco and sugar,
it is good for anything.
“Oranges in Paraguay grow wild.
You would not believe that only one
one out of every 100 oranges produced
in Paraguay ever is eaten. Put it is so.
Pillions of oranges lie on the ground
and rot.
“There are deposits of manganese
\nd iron of unknown extent that have
not brten worked since the Paraguan
war ended in 1870. It is waiting for a
ail road to be built to it. There is al
so copper.
“The American investments in Para
guay at present are in cattle, meat
packing plants and quebracho. There
are less than 100 Americans in the
whole country. They are popular with
the natives who think a lot of the
United States.

FIERCE DUEL WITH BOLOS
MANILA, May 4— Two Filipin

Angel Umali and Tranquilino Pag

feud with the favorite native weapon.
' Umali forced the fight and soon land
ed th«* blow that severed his adver
sary’s left hand. Pagiinawan fought
on and Umali, despite his victory,
took to his heels but was caught by a
policeman.
Pagiinawan was taken to a hospi
tal where he since has been in a crit
ical condition. As there is no law
against duelling in the Philippines,
Umali will be prosecuted on a minor
charge.
