RADICALS HAVE NOT STANDINGS
 WITH UNIONS

ATLANTIC CITY, June 23 (by Asso- ciated Press) The American Fedora tion of Labor convention has turned down the resolution of the Seattle delegates which intended to put the federation On record favoring prohibit tion amendment and memorial urg- ing labor unions to encourage former sailors and soldiers to protect them selves against exploitation by un- patriotic employees. A resolution was passed favoring forty-four hour week for labor generally and the executive committee will work for that end.
 The convention passed resolution to permit disciplinary actions against unions showing radical tendencies. The executive committee may revoke the charter of any central union or body of delegates which calls strike which would cause walkout of af- filiated bodies.

RADIO STATION LIKELY. COME :,
 TOCORDOVA

The navy wireless receiving station at Mile 7 will likely be removed to Cordova. This decision was reached vesterday by Commander B. H. Bow dev of the U. s. s. Saturn, now in port. and Lieutenant Tanning, district superintendent of the navy radio stations.
 For some time past Lieutenant Fan ming has been convinced of the ad- visibility of this move and he com municated with Mayor A. J. Adams to ascertain if a plot of ground 2oo feet square could be secured in Cor doya for that purpose, without cost to the government.
 A specials meeting of the chamber of commerce was held Saturday nlght to discuss the matter and 1t resulted in a committee being appointed con sisting of Messrs. George c. Hazelet' A. J. Adams, H. A. Slater, A. J. Mac Connell and J. L. Galen, to meet with Captain Bowdey and Lieutenant Fan ming and ascertain what site was de- sired, This was done yesterday after- noon and after having visited the diff ferent parts of town the officers stated that they believed the land adjoining the ball park which is owned by the government, would make the most ac- ceptable site. It was decided to at once erect temporary test set there and if 1t works satisfactorily the prop- abilities are that the station at Mile T will be removed to Cordova.
 The advantages in having the radio plant here are manifold. It will ex- pedite commercial wireless business and also bring many families to town.

YOUNG MAN DROWNED
 lyEYAKLAKE

4 very sad drowning occurred in Eyak lake early Sunday morning, while a party of four of our people, Edgar Rathwell, w. L. Stevenson, Mrs. George and Miss Josie Bona, were en- toying boat ride on that placid stream They were rowing when the canoe capsized and all four were thrown into the lake, but still held Of to the boat As Miss Bona could not swim Stevenson started for the shore with her, which was not very far dis tant Mrs. George also struck out for the shore, but Rathwell, who was con- sidered a good swimmer suddenly re leased his hold on the boat and sank. As he failed to come up again an alarm was given and rescuing parties started out to search for him. It was nearly two hours later when the body, was recovered from the bottom of the lake by Peter Gilovich and Ed Lee, in less than seven feet of water. Dr. W. Fl. Chase had arrived at the lake and al! efforts to resusitate the young man proved unavailing. The news of the accident had attracted many people to the scene.
 Edgar Rathwell came here last sum- mer from Anchorage with his father, they being partners in the plastering contract at the new Empress theatre, building. He soon became very popu- lar among the younger set and his sud den death came as great shock to large circle of friends. Deceased was only 21 years of age, very capable and exemplary young man with bright future. He was son of MT. and Mrs. w. E. Rathwell, and to them the sympathy of the community is extended in their sad bereavement.
 The funeral srevices will be con- ducted at the Empress theatre tomor- row afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. N. F, Zeigler officiating. The body will be embalmed and interment made at his home in Canada, when his parents re- ! turn there in the fall. Out of respect to the memory of MT. Rathwell all work will be suspended on the Em- press building tomorrow afternoon and the theatre will be dark tomorrow night.

"MY MOTHERS HANDS"

"As my mothers hands work on busily,
| see them now and see them as they
used to be. Once those dear hands were
shapely and smooth and white. How
vivaciously they sped over the piano
keys, in days when there were music and
happy things What long hard years
since thenl Would that could repay
her in some smallest measure for the
price recorded in those hands. How
they have worked, how they have toiled,
with broom, with rolling pin, with steam
ing suds, and ever and ever with the
needle, long into the late evening, Great
ing needed things, or setting something
right, working, working, working that l
might play, holding the structure of the
world intact. How wonderful are hands!
If could see all together the work &C
complished, all in one great mound, how
it would reach into the sky-just the pro-
duct of that little pair of hands, and
most of it for me. Emily Frances Rob-

Urinary in the Inflated Liberty Cottage.
When Liberty Cottage burned, Mrs.
Sleeper was one of the first in the house
to help carry out the girls property.
And patient Job has had hard time to
retain his musty, dusty laurels against
Mrs. Sleeper's record after the Junior
House catastrophe.
With all these handicaps Mrs Sleeper
has made two particularly valuable con-
tributions to student life in Beloit Col
lege. By putting life in the residence
halls on a new basis she has added in a
special way to the students social rela-
tons and through her work in the music
department has aided in stimulating the
musical life of the college The open
house functions in the girls residence
halls during the winter and the evenings
of dancing in Chaplin Hall have been
dominated by Mrs. Sleeper's gracious,
cordial personality. Under her direction
the students in the harmony classes have
done remarkable work in original compo-
sition for the Glee Club Operetta.
But finest of all has been Mrs. Sleeper
absolute sincerity in every relationship
with students and faculty. Her open,
frank attitude on any question makes it
easy for students and faculty to approach
her and to work with her.
Her work could have been done by few
people and Beloit was exceedingly fortu-
nate to have had here in Mrs. Sleeper one
of those few when the need arose last
fall We have known her as a delightful
companion, a wise adviser and firm
executive. We hope that as she goes
from her deanship relations into her re-
established home she will know that all

Maine State Spiritualists.

The 23d annual convention of the
Maine State Spiritualist Association will
be held in Redmen's Hall, Harrington
Bldg, Portland, Maine, on May Gath and
25th.
The night before will be devoted to a
reception and general conference. All
day Saturday will be taken up with the
business sessions. On Saturday evening,
Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening
there will be public lectures and seances
conducted by Maud Litch Torrey of
Lynn, Mass, one of New England's most
distinguished lecturers and psychics.
Sunday morning will be given up to
general conference in which prominent
Spirltualists from various sections of the
State will take part, discussing those
themes ard problems connected with the
advancement of the science, philosophy
and religion of Spiritualism in Maine.
This convention bids fair to be one of
the most important in recent years as
the activities of the State Association
during the coming year will necessarily
increase in order to keep pace with the
rapidly growing interest in psychic mat
tiers on the part of the general public
The State Association has received sew
eral requests of substantial amounts dur
ing the past year, and the Endowment
Fund is rapidly assuming proportions
where it will be possible to carry out
some of the long cherished plans which
have been crippled for many years by the
lack of funds.
All Spiritualists and Liberals and those
who desire to approach the problem of
the future life from the evidential rather
than the traditional standpoint will be
made cordially welcome at the public
seances of this convention.
