LITHUANIAN RECEIVES
ONE CENT FROM STATE

ALBANY, Jan. 30.-When Kazm-
mir Nitecki of Hyde Park receives
a refund check of cent from
State Comptroller Fleming, he will
be the holder of the record check
for the lowest amount ever issued
by the comptroller's office.
Behind this transaction there is a
story Of how the depreciation in for
eign exchange virtually wiped out
a small fortune which Nitecki
thought he was amassing for jam
Nitecki, brother residing some
where in Lithuania.
In May, 1922, Kazmmir went into
the New York office of tha. Red
Star Line and commissioned the
line TO deliver to jam Nitecki in
Lithuania the equivalent of $11.40
in Lithuanian marks. At the mar
ket price the Red Star Line was able
to purchase for Nitecki 5000 Lithu-
anian marks, but the line was un-
able to locate jam Nitecki or the
sender, SO transmitted to the state
comptroller / cent in money, to
which the 5000 marks had shrunk.

 Proue Murderers

CHICAGO, May 31.-Nathan K.

Lester D. Henderson
 Returns from Trip
 to Bristol Bay Ports

Commissioner of Education Lester D. Henderson, returned on the Starr yesterday from trip of inspection to the westward. This is the first time that Mir. Henderson has been west of Kodiak and expressed himself as very agreeably surprised with the schools he visited He reports an approximate enrolment, not includ- ing the Cook Inlet schools, of which there are four, totaling 800 pupils. The largest school is at Unalaska teachers. This is new district for the Territory, the school having been taken over from the Bureau of Educa- tion for this year Territorial schools are located at Kodiak, Afognak, Wood Island, Uzinkie, Chignik, Sanak, Sand Point, Unga, Unalaska. Naknek, Nush- agak and Dillingham;. There are number of Bureau Of Education schools also.
 At Unga a new school building is being erected and will be completed this summer in time for school to convene in September. An appropri- ltion of $25OO was allowed but proved insufficient and residents Of the town are donating labor and the balance of the money needed. The school will cost about $3500 when completed. The building will have two rooms down stairs for school purposes and living quarters for the teachers upstairs.
 At Unalaska improvements to the amount of 5000 are being made on the school building. Two rooms are being enlarged and repaired.
 The arrangements for the Third Annual Alaska Teachers Institute to be held at Ketchikan the week of August 25, are not yet completed. A number of instructors of national i'm portance will preside over the gather ing. One hundred teachers attended the institute last year and MT. Hen derson is looking for a larger at tendance this summer. Nome was the only incorporated town not represent ed. The reason for holding the in stitute at Ketchikan is that so many of the teachers spend their summers in the States and can stop there with little or no expense to themselves or the Territory.
 Mr. Henderson will leave on the steamship Northwestern for his head quarters at Juneau.

KIan Terrorized
 State of Texas

WASHINGTON, May 31-How the Ku Klux Klan put whole Texas com munities under spy system that in tercepted telephone and telegraph mes sages, how that system operated from day to day and night to night and how immense Klan parades were held in "order to make negroes more amen able at voting time," was revealed by former district Judge Erwin Clark of Waco, Tex, yesterday to the Senate committee of privileges and elections which has before it the Mayfield con- tested election case.
 MT. Clark was once member of the klan in Texas and once thought the organization essential to the well fare of the country
 Espionage and torture were not con- fined to negroes. "No color line was drawn there," was the way MT. Clark put it.
 Meetings for the purpose of tarring and feathering or branding culprits were called parties 'as "the tar and feather party" or "the branding par ty." One of the sternest forms of pun ishment for recalcitrant members was 'banishment' which meant that the re- bellious or the disloyal klansman was "nonexistant so far as other members of the klan were concerned.
 He said klansmen had bragged to him of parties they had pulled off" in Houston. And yet he said, "the mem bership comprised some of the best men and women in the country.

Captain Johansen Confirms Story of
 Wrecked AUiators

Captain o. A. Johansen, master of the steamer Starr, arriving in Sew lrd yesterday afternoon, one of the most prominent and best known nav igators on the westward run, stated that the mirage which is alleged to have caused the destruction of Major Martins plane is not an unusual oc- currence ill the district over which the plane was travelling.
 Persons not familiar with the westerly side of the Aleutian benin sula." said Capt Johansen, do not know that it is mostly low, rolling hills. A steamer approaching from the Boring Sea side can see the mountains long before picking up the low-lying hills. If snow is blow ing over the tops of these hills the illusion of breaking surf is perfect. Major Martin ascended at Chignik in heavy storm, and after circling to get his bearings probably picked up the Chignik lakes and took the low hills along the peninsula for surf breaking on the beach, follwing this until colliding with the mountains. The altitude he was flying was com paratively low, which may account for his mechanics and his own mir aculous escape, his plane being on an even keel when striking"
 Capt. Johansen stated the first trip into Bristol Bay was uneventful, won derful weather being enjoyed thru out the trip. Boring Sea was as smooth as a mill pond and without a breath of wind The Starr was for tunate in meeting with no ice, and the mail was landed at Nushagak without trouble, the ice not yet going out of the river. The Starr dropped in to Nushagak on the flood tide, un- loading mail and going out on the ebb. The ice was expected to break in the river that afternoon or the next day.
 The winter in the Bristol Bay sec tion was very mild altho a late spring was experienced Two of the can nery fleet had arrived at Nushagak and four at Naknek. At Naknek the new Libby, McNeil and Libby steam CT, Otsego had already arrived, with S25 passengers outside of the crew. The Otsego is in command of Capt. Frederick Nielsen. former comman- der of the Libby Maine, and is the former German raider Eital Freder- ich, which was interned at Newport News after famous raids on Allied shipping.
 Capt Johansen states that the members of the Seward Chamber of Commerce making the trip to Bristol Bay on the July trip can be assured of fine time and an enthusiastic re- ception.

Memoral Day in
 Seword Celebrated

Memorial Day in Seward was fit tingly celebrated yesterday in Seward. All stores and places of business clos ed at noon and the day was duly ob served.
 Beginning at 9:30 in the morning a stream of cars carried workers to the Cemetery. A large number of citizens joined with the members of the Sew ard Post of inc American Legion in the work of clearing and beautifying the cemetery. Before noon practically all the brush, stumps and logs were removed and a fine road was graveled from the highway to the center of the cemetery. At 1z o'clock the workers gathered in the glade and were served a splendid lunch arranged by the Am erican Legion Auxiliary.
 In the afternoon large number of autos arrived loaded to capacity with those who were unable to come dur ing the morning. At 2:30 a short but impressive ceremony was held in honor of the dead, following the form of the American Legion Ceremony. Three recitations were rendered, ''The Blue and the Gray," by Patricia Ray; "Dot- ties Thought" by Lolita Moultray, and "Unknown,' by Howard Sefero- vich. Music for the occasion was fur nished by Mrs. R. V. B. Dunlap at the organ.
 The work done at the cemetery the last two years has greatly improved the appearance of the place showing what can be accomplished with a llt- tie community effort. The generous manner in which the auto owners plac- ed their cars at the disposal of the Legion Committee for transporting the crowd to and from the cemetery made the day complete success.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Proposals for American adherance to the world court contingent upon it's disassocia- ton from the League of Nations, were spurned by President Coolidge in his Memorial Day address at the Arlington cemetery as unworthy of the American people and traditions.
 "If we are to receive anything we must surrender something," said the President speaking of the World court and the question of American in it. We may as we'll face the question candidly, and if we are willing to assume those new du- ties in exchange fir the benefits which would accrue to us. Let us look at the matter in that light"

French Peasants WIFI
 Stand Behind Premier

PARIS, May 31-The agricultural bloc will swing Premier Poincare into power again, it is asserted by the gov ernment campaign managers.
 Trance has 4,5OO,0OO land owners mostly peasants, among whom are about one third of the natio1ll elec- torate. The farming interests, com bined with the commercial and indus trial forces, are relied upon by the premier to supply him with an ade- quate majority.
 The farmers have been making more money in the last two years than ever before and it is difficult to find in the rural districts any peasant or proprie- tor who is not in favor of keeping NJ. Poincare in power.

History of the Crime

The body of Robert Franks was found under a culvert last week, bru' tally hacked and disfigured, after his parents had received letters demand yng $1O,OO0 ransom. Owing to the circumstances surrounding the dlsap- pearance of the lad, while walking home from a ball game, officials be- lieved the murder had been com mitted by a pervert, and a profes- sor in the college attended by the lad was arrested for the crime.
 Later clues led to the arrest Of young Leopold and Loeb, who con fessed they had committed the bru tai deed.
 Public sentiment against the mur- derers is running high and they are strongly guarded.

 Letters prostesting delay in the var ious injuries recently have accentu- ated the members differences and some of them are described as fearing dis turbances to business unless action is hastened on the appeals for rate changes.
