THE CORDOVA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY MARCH D. 1920

several important particulars-among the amendments being one authoriz- ing the grand president to act as delegate for the home honorary igloo at Sitka with one vote in the con- vention
 An amendment designed to prevent the carrying of delinquent members on the roll for the purpose of increas- ing the vote of the subordinate igloo in the convention was also passed.
 An earnest fight was made for the amendment making the grand igloo the official spokesman of the subordi- nate igloos, for the purpose of ex- pressing the views of the Pioneers on matters affecting the welfare of the order or of Alaska, but failed to get the necessary two-thirds vote to be adopted. The individual igloos are left to act independently, as be- fore.
 The annual election of officers re- suited as follows:
 Grand President, T. w. Nelson, An chorage; grand first vice-president, John Noon, Seward; grand second vice-president, T. B. Towle, Seward; grand secretary, A. c. Thompson, An chorage; grand treasurer, John Gil- patrick, Seward grand historian John w. Frame, Anchorage; grand chaplain, J. w. Hunt, Valdez; grand sergeant at arms, George Dooley, Cor dova; grand trustees, w. P. Smith. T. R. Walle, Nenana, and J. c. Johnson, Jditarod
 Seward was selected, as against Valdez and Nenana, for the next meet ing of the grand igloo, and the date fixed as March g, 1921, being Seward day, adopted as a day for special ser vices by the Pioneers.
 Tn point of the number of igloos represented, the number of delegates attended, and the important work ac- cOmplished, the twelfth annual con- vention just ended has been one of the most noteworthy held by the Pioneers. The grand igloo enters upon the new year upon a firm financial footing with the prospect of organizing several new subordinate igloos. and of seeing the membership of those already organized largely increased due to the reduction of the time limit for qualification to fifteen years.

GRAND ICL00 OF PIONEERS
 IS IN SESSION

The grand igloo of Pioneers of Alaska met at Anchorage and trans acted much important business.
 After the formal proceedings of opening the convention and the read ing of the minutes of the last meeting the convention proceeded to the first order of business on the calendar, the consideration of the constitutional amendment reducing the time for qualification for membership in the Pioneers to January 1, 1905.
 The chief contention arose over the admission of the Nome and the Fair banks delegations (both of which were instructed against changing the oual- fication provisioD
 These delegations failed to get in in time for consideration by the commit tee on credentials, which was dis charged before these delegations came in.
 The result of a roll call vote result ed in the adoption of the amendment
 The second amendment, which had also been made a special order of bus- mess and placed at the head of the calendar, the amendment repealing the designation of Juneau as the place for holding the biennial meetings of the grand igloo, was then passed bv the same alignment of votes on roll call.
 By the time these amendments had been passed the watch of the grand president registered II, and the ladies. of the auxiliary had a "rev- ellie" sounded by the cornet in tho bahd which was waiting to play at the Pioneer love feast provided by tho ladies in honor of the grand igloo

PARIS July .10.-Marshal Foch is
prepared to take immediate military
measures in case Germany fails to
carry out the disarmmcnt agreement
signed at Spa yesterday, it was stated
today by an official of the foreign
office.
Belief was expressed in some cir

that the German government will be
unable to carry out it's disarmment
pladges, and the prediction was made
that France may find it necessary to
accupy the Ruhr district with her
troops by the end of September.
It is understood that Premier Lloyd
George has given Marshal Foch a
iree hand to conduct any military
action he may deem necessary. The

ACTRESS MYST|F|ED
OVER JEWEL Theft
$4,000 Loot Taken From
Laura Walkers Strong Box
While She Is Yachting.

NEW YORK, July lot was dis
closed yesterday that while Laura
Walker, the actress, was celebrating
the Fourth Of July. sailing between
Seagatc and Larchmont on yacht
with a dozen companions, and her
mother, Mrs. Ettie Walker, was at a
movie show, their apartment here
was entered and 10000 worth OF
jeweled heirlooms were removed by
the simple process of unlocking the
apartment door. breaking into a
closet door and making off with the
contents of a strong box.
This strong box was one of the
ordinary kind. and the only reason
the Jewels were in IL was that Miss
Walker who had been for two weeks
at Shawnee, on the Delaware, put
them there on her return July i.
Miss Walker left on her cruise FRI
day and il was not until Monday that
Mrs. Walker was able to get in touch
with her. Miss Walkere's impression
is that the robber was a prison with
a knowledge OF the premises and who
knew she was not wearing any OF the
jewels.
The situation is further compli-
Gated by tho fact that there were no
MAIDS ana no eAlTd htNS eAtcPl th'
one in possession of the apartments
owner.
"Wo nov have three locks on the
door" said Miss Walker as she drove
of with her mother in the car yes
tcrday. Everything was insured.
and there was no loss except OF a
sentimental nature.
Some of the valuablcs stolen were
gorgeous old diamond necklace.
four or five rings, very beautiful
pin with emeralds surrounded by big
diamonds, lot of chains. an old
bracelet with diamonds and sap
phires and some gold things which
had got lately.
II don't want any publicity and I'm
going at o'clock tomorrow to
Larchmont / haven't any idea who
committed the robbery. but it must
have been between S and 10 o'clock
last Sunday night. for my mother was
gone only that long
1t was said yesterday that detec-
tives were working on the case, but
Lieutenant Tinker and Detective En-
right denied any knowledge of this
case.

Mann in The Bubble" a few years
ago.

ALL SAILORS ARA YOUNG.
The age OF the Resolute's crew
averages thirty-two. The Shamrock's
crew averages thirty-ive. the oldest
being fifty-seven and the youngest
twenty-five. Their average weight II
lGO pounds, while the average of the
Resolute's crew is $50, so that each
yacht will carry well over two tons
of live ballast.
Chris Christiansen, the Resolute's
sailing master, sailed his first inter-
national race In 1855 as an able sea-
man. The two following years he
occupied a similar position. In 1901
he was mate OF the Columbia, and In
1908 served similarly on the Reli-
ance. His present mate, John Chris
tlansen, was sailor on the latter
sloop. Some OF the others have par
ticipated in the international event.
Captain Christensen has no fears
regarding his men or their ability to
sail the defender, he told me.
PLEASED WITH HIS MEN.
