TRAIL 0F MISERY AND BLOODsAED IS
 LEFT BY WH|sKEY
FEDERAL LICE RECORDS HERE SHOW CONSEQUENCES
 OF BOOZE TRAFFIC
Anchorage Times)


 Seven years of penal servitude, sev- en cases of insanity, three killings, two suicides and S9 criminal cases such is illicit whiskey's record in An chorage in the last seven months, ae- cording to records on file here.
 Harry I. Staser in charge of the deputy marshal's office declares that the cold figures only give a small idea of the misery and suffering that con- traband booze has caused here.
 Since July l, 1923, the records show that total of seven years of impris- onment have been served by men con- victed of violation of the prohibition laws and seven persons committed to the Morningside asylum for the in- sane became mentally unbalanced as shooting of John and Alex Vanaja by Paul Fromming, the latter said the trouble started over moonshine whis- key. Chief of Police Harry Kava- naugh was slain by drink crazed native, who in turn was shot and killed by Officer Charles Watson, the chiefs companion. Evidence in the Carl Hogsstrom case yesterday show ed that Hogsstrom was suffering from insanity, aggravated by booze de- bauch.
 The sum of $s,OOO in fines has been paid by violators of the prohibition laws during the period covered by the statistics.
 Deputy Staser emphasizes that in dealing with cases directly or indirect ly connected with contraband whiskey the federal authorities have no outside assistance Citizens that will help us apprehend violators of other laws turn their backs when we need their aid in enforcing the prohibition law, he said.

TALKIN GPIcTURE Is SUCCESS; RADIO AND MOVIE COMBINED; INVENTOR DESCRIBES DEVICE

CLEVELAND, Jan. 30.--The phono- film, a combination of radio and mo- tion pictures, the invention of Dr. Lee de Forest, has been demonstrated suc- cessfully, according to those who have heard and witnessed the talking pie lures.
 By application of the phonofilm it is the object of the inventor to pro- duce motion pictures in which the characters speak. MT. de Forest gave the following explanation of the prog ress:
 Tn the studio a motion picture is taken in the usual manner, but in ad- dition to the camera lens, which reg isters action, microphOne passes registers every sound made by the ac- tor A wire from the audion ampli- fer to a gas-filled tube called the photiom, located in the camera The light from this tube fluctuates in ex- act accordance with the amplified tele phonic currents which originate from the actors lips.
 "A very fine slit is located near the negative film through which these fluctuating light rays are registered on the sensitive emulsion on the ne gative as fine lines which are actual photographic sound waves, and being on the same film as the picture, in sure perfect synchronism at all times"

 IN 23-FOOT DORY TO
 SEEK WORD OF GOD

HONOLULU, Jan. 31.-Ira Sparks of Peru, Ind, who arrived here a year ago from San Francisco in packing box, having consigned himself as freight enroute to the Orient, yester- day sailed for the Far East in 23- foot dory. He announced that he was bound for the Holy Land to seek the true word for God" A crowd estim- ated at l 500 witnessed his departure.
 Sparks initial pilgrimage ended in Honolulu when he was forced to "come up for air" after being several days in his package box in the hold of the ship. Since his arrival he has constructed several boats but most of them proved unseaworthy.
 He declared he had no fear, but that he would safely reach the Chin csc coast.
