 H. H. ROSS


 the Senate from the Fourth Division, and announces that his platform Is that whereas the representatives of the Fourth during the last legisla- ture did not "get alp that they were Supposed to get" that ne would.
 In the first place, even MT. Thomp- son must concede that no person should be elected to public office merely because of his ability to get "all the money for his district" Ii MT. Thompson sets out to merely "get the money" he will find that he will be badly disappointed.
 All that the Fairbanks (by which name the delegation from the Fourth is known) delegation have right to ask for is fair and equitable treat ment.
 MT. Thompson makes big point that he will get a large approprla- tion for Fairbanks College whereas others (meaning MT. Ross, MT. John ston and others) failed last year. In the same breath, MT. Thompson makes fun of the First Division, call inc us inhabitants of fishing shacks, Indians, Juneauites and other names. Let MT. Thompson realize that he will get nothing by antagonlzlng the people of the First Division who have heretofore been friendly to the Fourth and to Fairbanks College. II MT. Thompson keeps on, and the people of the Fourth want to make sure that Fairbanks college will have real fight on it's hands, then send MT. Thompson to the senate.
 There is way for the Fourth Division to get what is justly due them. First, let that delegation come to Juneau with the single desire to serve Alaska, and as part of this service, let the delegation ask for what is justly due Fairbanks College, and the Fourth Division will find out that it will be treated fairly.
 There is a mistaken notion held by MT. Thompson that the Governor "voted" the members of the Fourth during the last legislature. That is not true. The only man who was controlled by the Governor was the Hon. E. M. Keys. This man by Wor- shipping at the shrine of power an- tagonized his natural friends. Per- haps he does not realize even now that he it was who threw the "mon- key wrench" into the legislative ma chinery.
 w. F. Thompson talks like brave and courageous man, but l must say that it is the bravery of supreme ignorance. The play of politics at Juneau was to "defeat the controller b;11v Tbo machine was headed bE

Editor w. F. Thompson thinks that if the Fourth Division should elect him their Senator, that he can make all the other Senators "bend the knee to him." IF MT. Thompson should be elected Senator, he will find seven other stiff-kneed persons in the Senate. It will not help him one particle to make fun of the fishing shacks' 'or the "scandinavi- ans" or the "Indians" of the First Division.

SUICIDE PACT MAY HAVE
 REALLY BEEN A MURDER
Two Young Men Found Dead in Potts town, Pa, Y. NJ. C. \. Room
 Note Gives Version.

Pottstown. Pa, Feb. 2S.-Thomas Shenton and James Warmkessel were found dead with bullet wounds in Shenton's room at the '. NJ. CA IA. here today. A note found in the room indicated suicide pact, but the positions of the body caused the po- lice to investigate the theory of mur- der and suicide.
 Warmkessel's body was found at the door of the room clad in his over coat. His hat was on the head and scarf lay across the face. There was a bullet wound in the chest and the temple. Powder marks on the temple indicated that the shot was fired at close range.
 Shenton's body, fully dressed, lay on the bed. There was a bullet wound in the chest. A pistol lay beside the body.
 The note said that neither had any thing in him to be proud of and that 10th were tired of living. Warmkes- sei, it is said, tried to kill himself with oVerwork but could not succeed. Both were too good pals to go out separate ly and leave one or the other behind, it stated, so it was agreed to commit suicide.

William Barruss, of Kansas City, Mo. speaking before one of the larg- est meetings the Rotary club has held this year, fairly swept the gathering off it's feet with a talk which made clear why he is known as the "1nspir- ational Sales Councillor. Mir. Barruss took for his subject Shakespeare the Salesman" and drawing upon his eX- tensive knowledge of Shakespeare's works pointed out the salesmanship used by the characters portrayed in shakespeare's Julius Caesar. MT. Burruss said "Salesmanship is not merely the marketing of goods but 1t is the selling of an idea, and"the first one to whom the idea must be sold is thcs alesman who is to attempt to sell

GIRL PSYCHIC $
 DOING HER STUFF
Surprises N. '. Police by Telling
 Their Secrets

New York, Feb. 2S.-The veil of secrecy surrounding records of crim- inal cases known only to detectives directly concerned and q few higher officials of tho police department was torn aside yesterday by an 1S-year- old schoolgirl from Atchison, Kan, when for two hours Miss Eugene Dennis amazed the officials by re counting information that had never left the department files,
 Case after case was put to her when she visited headquarters in com pany with Hcreward Darlington of the American Institute of Psychic Research at Al West Filty-seventh street. Except for a few minor de- tails, she described the eases accu- rately,
 Following the demonstration of her psychic powers she told Third Deputy Commissioner Joseph Faurot that she would be pleased to cooperate with New York. The deputy commits sioner said he would avail himself of the offer and expressed the hope that some of the cases which detectives have been unable to solve may be cleared up,
 Present at the demonstration be- sides the deputy commissioner We're Inspector Thomas Fay, Captain Ar thur A. Carey of the homicide squad, Captain John Stapletou Of the loft and safe squad, Special Deputy Comms- sioner John M, Shaw, other police of icials and newspaper men.
 The little Kansas schoolgirl was perfectly at her ease as she sat fac ing men before whom the most hard ened criminals have quailed. Her schoolgirl attire, unassuming manner and quiet, matter-of-fact style of speech entirely belied the amazing disclosures she made. The only strik- ing characteristic about the girl IS her piercing look. which the deputy con- missioner said seemed to go right into the back of my head and right through me"
 Holding in his hand the police rec ords. Commissioner Faurot asked Miss Dennis to describe in detail loft rob bery that occurred in 1929. She de- scribcl inc ne--incidentally she had never been within several blocks Of the place herself. then she told Of the arrival ol the police, how they

New Britain Club Say
 Farewell to City Hall

The New Britain club will vacate it's quarters in City hall tomorrow evening and will make plans for oc- cupancy of it's new rooms in Elihu Burritt hotel as soon as possible. The furniture is being moved today. It is planned to close the club rooms for alterations, the work to be started as soon as the city meeting board passes the budget.
 As yet. the City hall commission has made no announcement as to the uses to which the building will be put. Servicemen's organizations have requested space, but it is not ex- pected that the quarters will be given over to them, at least until after the commission is advised how the ac- communications of the old normal school will be handled. If several city de- partments are to be moved into the old school building there will probably be room for the soldiers in City hall; if not, then the entire third floor will be required to house city departments, members of the commission feel.
