 ON MONDAYS STEAMER

Rev. J. T. Mcqueen, Superintend- ent of the Mission work being car ried out in Alaska by the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, will leave town on the steamer Estebeth next Monday night on the first leg of an extended trip over the Territory.

 Rev. Mcqueen will go from Jul neau to Skagway, from there down the Yukon river by the way of Whitehorse and Dawson. He will go up the Panama river as far as Fairbanks and possibly visit at Ne mana. He will look into the situa- tion at Fairbanks, at which point the Methodist Mission has not been filled for the past year. It is his intention to reopen the work in that town this summer if possible. From Fairbanks he will proceed down river by the way of Panama, to St. Michael and Nome. From Nome he plans to go to the Prib- iloff Islands, visiting Priboloff and from there to Unalaska. This will end his summers investigation and he will endeavor to make some point on the West Coast where he can get passage to Seattle. He plans to return to Juneau during the lat ter part of September.

CLAYTON GIVES SUPPORT TO
 BOOKS FOR EVERYBODY

WASHINGTON.- Hearty commen- dation of the Books for Everybody movement of the American Library Association in it's enlarged program is contained in a statement today by P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Education, Department of the In terior. The project of extending op- portunities for public self-instruc- ton by providing greater library facilities throughout the United States appeals to Commissioner Claxton as one of the most effcc est type of citizenship. lie de- clared today that he was especially
 interested in the establishment of the county slibrary system on a far broader plane one of the main fea-
 lures of the Associations program.
 "The public library" said Com- missioner ClaXton, is one of our
 most effective agencies for public education possibly the most effec- tive of ali for older boys and girls and for adult men and women. Noi people may hope to become broadly educated and cultured who do not
 read Only when good collections of the best books are within easy reach of all the people may we hope
 that most of them will read as they
 should.
 'I am delighted to know that the plans of the Association include
 the preparation of reading and study courses, and particularly study coures in American citizenship. These will be very helpful at this time, when the people of the coun- try are interested as never before
 in what has come to be called AmericaniZation.'
 The Association will promote H. brary service in industrial plants for the purpose of imparting expert knowledge Continuation of the A. l.. As library service on all ships of the merchant marine, at light houses and coast guard stations. and in hospitals of the Public Health Service, and the publication of more books for the blin1 in the uniform

noted French commander during the
war and Madamme Gabriel Ferrier,
widow Of the celebrated painter who
was stepfather of the bride. Marshal
Petain and his bride left last evening
for the Riviera, where the former

young girl, long before her first mar
riage. He always cherished tender
memory of her and hoped that some
day circumstances would enable him
to marry her. The bride, according

Second Wife Dies;
Investigation Urged

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Relatives of two
Chicago women who died in mysteri-
Gus circumstances after marrying
Ernst r. SteinhauS a chiropodist. who
lived here until recently, asked the To-
cal police to investigate the death last
Thursday of the second Mrs. Steinhaus
near Tampa, Fla The body OF the
second Mrs. Steinhaus, a sister Of Rev.
William Gratefeld. of Downers Grove,
was found in a swamp some distance
from her home in Tampa .>jghts.
News Of the Tampa mystery revived
interest in the death of the first Mrs.
Steinhaus. According to August Pfeif-
fer, father of the chiropodist's first
wife,. his daughter was found dead
from gas in a hallway shortly after
meeting her husband, from whom she
had been estranged for several months.
Steinhaus denied completely at the
time and the coroners jury did not
hold him.
According to reports from Tampa,
Steinhaus told the police there that
his wife, Glad only in night gown,
had wandered into the swamp. Investi-
CATION shows, however, that there are
no scratches on her foot and there was
no water in her lungs, a fact which
tends to prove that she was dead be-
fore her body got into the swamp.
Before leaving for Florida. Mrs.
Steinhaus drew $1,000 from the bank.
A telegram from Steinhaus received
by Rev. Mr.. Grotefeld. asked for funds
to ship the body back to Chicago for
burial. sg

Boosts Waterway Plan

Toronto, Ont, Sept. 15.-The an

way freight rates provides an addi-
tional reason for the speedy develop
! ment Of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
route to the ssaboard. according to
Major Alex c. Lewis Of tho Canadian
Deep Waterways and Power associa
ton. The present increase is the
third in five years, amounting to
about 100 per cent on the rates pre-
vailing in 1915.
In the meantime water rates are
decreasing. At present freight can
be carried to Great Britain at one
third OF the rates prevailing two
years ago. @ KS
