judge had been lenient.
 Judge Landis showed the greatest emotion when the federal building newspaper men presented him with a signed testimonial wishing him luck, saying that he was taking the life of the joint away" and that they would always remember him as an honest; ;ot-God man, and judge with the right kind of backbone"
 After reading it, the judge swung his big chair around so the reporters could not see him, and when he turned back, five minutes later, his cheeks and eyes glistened with tears.
 "Oh, Hell," he said. "I cant thank you fellows. We've been too good pals and just can seem to talk. But I hope that each of you knows down in your hearts, how much I hate leave this building and you-but, no, I'm not leaving you fellows. We have our reunions and grow old to- gether, telling each other how we used to sit on the federal bench"
 The last person to bid farewell to Judge Landis was Joe Buckner, ball. if in the judges first court. Buck ner left his bed, where he was con- fined with pneumonia, to journey through a snow storm off his fare

 What are you doing here?'

 Why. I was just going to see you." answered the judge. "I wouldn't leave without telling you goodbye. Now, you put this muffler on and go back to bed"
 The judge took his own muffle~ put it on Buckner and rushed him away.

Republican Member Urges That Treaties Be Ratified
 Without Reservation

BOSTON, Feb. 2S.-The Washing ton conference treaties mean that the powers concerned in them have turned away from coercion in inter- national affairs and have resorted in- stead "to the only process which can yield international friendship and un- derstanding-the process of confer ence," Senator George Wharton Pep- per of Pennsylvania. declared tonight in an address before the Boston Re- publican Club. For the reason that the treaties were evolved in confer ence. Pepper urged that the docu- ments, especially the four-power pact, be ratified without reservations.
 Even greater significance than the treaties themselves-great documents that they are." he said. "is the method by which they were evolved and the theory which underlies th0 most imnortant of them all the four power treaty. I sneak of the four power treaty as the most important because it seems clear to me that it's ratification is necessary to create the atmosphere in which a limitation of armaments can be hopefully under taken.

ANCIENT ABBEY IS AGAIN SCENE:
 IF REGAL PQNP
Only Daughter of George V Given in Marriage to
 Viscount Lascelles
CROWDS THRONG WAY
Bridal Party, Travelling on Royal Train, Is Cheered
 All Along Route

LONDON. Feb. 28.-(By the Asso. oiated s.)-King George today gave his only daughter, Princess Mary, in marriage to Viscount Las celles. It was a great nationai event which will live long in the memories Of the vast throngs whose unre- strained plaudits greeted England's princess as she. passed through five streets to the altar in stately old Westminster Abbey to become the bride of an English commoner.
 A bridal march within the walls rich in royal associations, and rit- ual witnessed by a grand assemblage and attended by the traditional splen- oors that mark state occasions, were the more superficial of the days pro- ceedings. That which captivated an empires imagination was the realiza- tion of dream much older than em- pires-the marriage of a beautiful girl of exalted rank to man of more hum- ble station but of proven gallantry.
 The testimony of geneaiogists that through King Henry VII the bride and Bridegroom are both descended from William The Conqueror in no way minimizes this romantic aspect of the affair.
 In the joyous faces of those crowd ing either side of the gay route from the palace to the sanctuary, and in their tumultuous and prolonged out bursts of cheering and applause, the good will and approval of a pageant loving people, anxious to share in the happiness of this notable day, were vividly displayed. Another source of the nations felicitations was reflected in the daily press, which exulted that this wedding does not link us with a foreign alliance that might prove in future years unpopular"
 This feeling was expressed in va rious other forms. To-day our prin- cess marrieS not a foreign princeling, but an English gentleman and "hers is no diplomatic alliance-the future of Europe involved in a union con tracted for reasons of state.'
 The solitary exception to the edi- torial approval was the reminder of the laborite Daily Herald that be heath the surface of life in merry England today lies a mass of misery and suffering" and England is not all like the streets of Westminster arc lHt very par ace walls"
 But it was from the slums, where ever they exist in London, that d large proportion of today's madly cheering throngs poured to acclaim the princess and her husband. Among the richly garbed wedding guests in the abbey were half a dozen repre- sentatives of organized labor and their wives, bidden at the instance or the king.
 The scenes of regal pomp which gave. the ceremony it's theatrical ex- cellence, were the most magnificent London has seen since the war, and the first since that catastrophe wholly unmarred with some tinge of tragedy
 The happiness everywhere evident among the street throngs was quite as apparent in the abbey. It is doubt ful whether in it's centuries that edi-

 by Republican Leader
|DAY-LONG ONSLAUGHT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. Divided virtually on party lines, the senate refused 10 amend the Yap treaty to- day Tn the first test of srength on any question afefcting the international covenants negotiated during the Washington conference. The vote was 50 to 23.
 Only two Republicans - Borah of Idaho. and France of Maryland-sup- ported the proposal, and only forr democrats - Underwood, Alabama: Pomerene, Ohio; Williams. Nissis- slppl, and Meyers of Montana-yoted against 1t. It had been offered by Senator Pittman, Democrat. Nevada. and would have amplified the provi- sion that existing treaty rights of the united States shall apply to the man. dated islands of the Pacific.
 Later, by vote of 52 to II. the sen ate also rejected a proposed amend ment by Senator France to prevent manufacture or export of intoxicating liquors on the mandated islands. Eight Democrats joined this time with fhe Republicans opposed to the amend ment, while not single other senator o1 ms own party cast his vote with France.
 Senators differed over the signifi- canoe of the two roll calls as they pear on the general situation of the arms conference treaties. but the sen- ate leaders declared the result had been to strengthen their expectation that all the covenants would be rati- lied by safe margins. even thoupA there might be considerable opposi. tion on the Democratic side.
 Just before adjournment. another amendment was presented by Senator Pittman, stipulating that under the treayt, the United States should be sole judge whether Japan is maintain ing sufficient wireless facilities on Tap island. or whether the American right to install wireless station there should be exercised. This and several other amendments and reservations are expected to come to a vote tomor- row, and under an agreement reached yesterday, roll call on ratification is to be taken not later than D. m. Thursday.
 During today's debate. further at- tacks were amde on the treaty by Senators France, Pittman. Borah and Reed, Democrat, Missouri. Reed again charging that the Republicans again were attempting to force senate ac- tion" before the country could realize what the arms conference agreements really embody. The all-day onslaught passed virtually without reply from the treaty's supporters.
 It was accompanied by freauent bursts of laughter. which the presid- ing officer made no effort to check. that Senator Frances resolution was presented and rejected. Senator France said that the senate was not giving serious consideration to his proposal. and Senator Reed also lee tured his colleagues for their mirth. causing new convulsions of merriment on the floor and in the galleries by pleading that the provision be accept ed ESQ that some Japanese Volstead can exercise his genius in the Pacific" Senator Lodge declared the amend

Mr. Ed Vogl is in receipt of a letter from his sister in Michigan, the letter being dated February 22 At that time the railroad traffic near her home was tide up in the heaviest STOW storm of the year. At least 36 inches of snow fell. Following the storm and before traffic could be cleared 25-mile wind arose and the temperature dropped to ten below zero, all traffic and conmu- nication becoming paralyzed and pow CT lines and telephone lines were down in every direction.
 This is a sample of the weather they are having in many parts of the United States while we in Alaska, at least in Seward, enjoy one of the mildest and finest winters in history.

 HOMESTEAD AT HOMER

Mr. William Burgie, who has been in town several days will leave on the Admiral Watson for Homer, where he has taken up homestead Mr Burgie says he has been over the world good deal and has seen most of Alaska, but the Kachemak Bay section looks as good to him as any. He predicts that the section will some day be an im- portant agricultural region. There is already quite a settlement there con- sisting of about sixty people.
 There is no question about the agri- cultural and grazing possibilities of the Kachemak Bay section. The main thing to make farming profitable there is transportation to market. The Ho mer people would desire the steamer Starr to call at Homer Spit and Capt. in the near future. A wagon road from Homer north to the Kenai river con- meeting with a road that would lead to Seward is also desired by the Homer interests. If such a road existed they could run their produce into Seward and to market on auto trucks. Trans portation is the key to the develop ment of the Kachemak Bay section as it is everywhere else in Alaska.
