|Rustgard and Smith Cited to
 Appear Before Judge Jennings

KETCHIKAN, June 28.--Judge Robert w. Jennings this morning issued an order for Walstein G. Smith, Territorial Treasurer, and John Rustgard, Territorial Attor- ney Geneal, to appear in the United States District Court at Ketchikan on July II, next. and show cause why they should not be declared in contempt of court and punished therefor. The order was issued as a result of affidavits filed by MT. Smith through the Attorney Gen. eral in the mandamus proceedings of Mrs. Edith Sheelor against the Territorial Treasurer.
 Attempts Disqualification.
 The affidavits filed yesterday were in the nature of step to disqualify Judge Jennings from sitting in the mandamus case instituted recently by Mrs. Sheelor against Treasurer Smith in which the Court was asked to issue mandatory order com polling the Treasurer to sign war rants for salary due the plaintiff amounting to $500 for services as clerk in the office of the Commis- sioner of Health. These affidavits charged Judge Jennings with being politically and socially so close to former Gov. Thomas Riggs that he could not hear the case and render fair judgment in the above cause. The affidavits, in effect, allege that Judge Jennings is standing in with a clique trying to rob the Terri torial Treasury.
 The ease arose from the refusal of Treasurer Smith to sign warrants issued by Territorial Secretary in favor of Mrs Sheelor for services during the months of April and May last. Mrs. Sheelor at that time was employed as clerk by Dr. l.. O.. Sloane, Territorial Health Commis- siOnerl Vouchers for these services were approved by both pr. Sloane and then Gov. Riggs and warrants drawn to cover them, for payment out of the emergency fund under the Governors control.

our comrades who did not come
back, and with constant thought Of
those who, blind, manned and broken
must live the war forever-that the
people of the world shall have the
opportunity to say that such things
must never come again.
I'VE must build up our legions so
big and fine and strong, and tie them
into our national existences by such
firm bonds of service that our great
nations will stand behind the men
who offered their lives for the defense
of liberty. That is our first task.
Our next task stands clearly be-
fore us, and for this great service to
humanity, we pledge ourselves to YOU
our comrades of yesterday, today
and tomorrow"
