SAYS DISTRICT IDEAL
 TOURIST RESORT

gr easily be made the mecca for thousands of tourists from all parts of Amarica is the un- qualified declaration of c. F. Hubbard, head of the Hubbard, Stewart Fur Company and one of Seattle's leading business men, who visited the district during the week.
 MT. Hubbard arrived here Saturday to personally inspect the recent strike on the Out land Silver Bar properties, in which, he is interested with F. c. Outland and others. AL though much impressed by the mineral production possibili- ties of the district, he was equally quick to discern the fact that Hyder possesses another latent possibility that may be capitalized and turned to great advantage, namely it's towering peaks, mighty glaciers, its remarkable sum
 mer climate and other natural features.
 In the opinion of Mir. Hib- bard the district possesses ev- erything needed to attract and hold the interest of that vast army of people who flock to the Pacific Northwest during the summer season. .>
 My visit to the upper Sal mon valley has convinced me-" i. .,Ir.- Hubbard said 'that this. place can be made one of the greatest scenic resorts on the coast. You have some of the finest mountain scenery to be seen anywhere a fine summer climates and a vista of mighty glaciers that can scarcely b.. eqaaled. And tue thing princi. pally needed to make this a great tourist resort is a large and modern hotel at some point in the upper end of Sal non valley near the Salma.' glacier. During my trip up the river I noticed fine spot which affords easy access to the Salmon and Chickamin glaciers and other points of interest and from which can be seen magnificent panoram- as of mountains and glaciers extending in every direction. There is also a site for a splen- did golf links, which could be laid out at much less cost than the one we have in Seattle. This would be a big attraction. The fact that the hotel could be built right beside one of the great glaciers would be a great asset, as the tourists are all eager to get on to a glacier it possible. Here they can tray el over glaciers to their hearts content"
 Another great advantange of the district in this respect" MT. Hubbard said, "is the fact that Hyder is only two days journey from Seattle and Ven couver. The hotels of Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver and Vic toria are packed with visitors from all parts of the country every summer and many would visit this section if there were adequate accommodate ions. A good hotel, a short automobile road and judicious advertising, which would be 1 provided largely by the trans 1 nnrtatinn cnmnanias are all

WIFE OF VICTIM
 IS ID TESTIFY
Will Take Stand Against Shef-
 fey in Tennessee Case

Knoxville. Tenn, April 14.-Hear- ing of evidence by the Blount coun- ty grand jury to determine whether il will return an indictment against William Sheffey charging him with criminal assault and house. breaking, was begun today at Maryville.
 It is understood that Mrs. Laura Poe, victim of the assault in De- Cember. 1924, and widowed by a bull let from a marauder's pistol as her husband tried to prevent the incl dent, will be the principal witness on whose testimony the jury will de- pend largely for it's action.
 Sheffcy was brought from the Loudon county jail for the prelim- mary hearing and was taken back 10 the Loudon jail after the hearing as inc Maryvile jail is not in good con- liiion.
 Wright Tafflc, high school student, was arrested by BIount county of Rcers soon after the alleged assault committed in the Poe home. He has been released on bond, but the war rant against him still exists.
 Sheffey, it is stated by Blount county officials, is of relatively prom inent family. He was once acquitted of a charge Of murder. He was q commissioned officer in the war and at the time of his arrest had q good job with the Aluminium Company of America at MaryyiIle.

Grochl Dcnounccs Arrest

New York, April 14,-Lyle Chas- tain, who was Gerald Chapman's chief alibi witness at his recent trial for murder was held in $l00O bail today for trial on a charge of at tempted cxtortion. He was arrested last night.
 Frederick J. Groehl, Chapman's chief counsel, represented Chastain in court today and denounced his arrest as unwarranted. Chastain was arrested on an indictment found against him in 1921 on complaint of Albert Best, an insurance broker, that he had attempted to compel him to pay $50 weekly for life to withhold information Chastain claimed to possess.
 Chastain was in the federal peni- tontiary at Atlanta with Chapman, and nurscd him in the prison in firmary q short time before the mail bandits sensational escape. He tes- tifed at the murder trial that Chap man had been his companion in n Brooklyn speakcasy until ? o'clock the morning of last October 12, five hours before Patrolman SkelIy was slain in New Britain, Conn. It was for Skellys murder that Chapman was convicted and sentenced 10 be hanged June 25.

CHASTAIN TAKEN IN
 ON OLD WARRANT
Issued in 1921, Served on Chap
 man Witness Last Night

The New York police dealt heavy blow to the hopes of Gerald Chapman in a new trial, If one Is granted, when they arrested Lyle Chastain, chief alibi witness at the murder trial, last night on an old bench warrant charging extortion. Chastain was arrested as he was leaving the office of Judge Freder- ick J. Groehl, senior counsel for Chapman, with whom he had been engaged in conference,
 The warrant on which Chastain was arrested was dated August 21, 1921, and was issued on complaint of an insurance broker, who alleg- ed that Chastain .had obtained S7O and demanded $50 a week for life under a threat 10 expose him to the police, friends and relatives.
 Just what effect the arrest of Chastain would have on his testi- mony in another trial of Chapman, or whether he will be available if such a trial is held could not be learned. In his testimony at tho Chapman trial, Chastain admitted that he had served term in the Atlanta penitentiary and had been a convict nurse in the ward Chap man was confined in at the time of his escape.
 The defense banked heavily on the testimony of Chastain, the alibi claimed by Chapman being based on his story. Chastain testified that he met the fugitive on the night of October l between and 9 o'clock and after going to his stationery store on Albany avenue for a short time spent the rest of the night un- til 2 o'clock the morning of OCto- Der 12 at the "Wildey club Two other witnesses testified that they had seen Chapman in the Chastain store with the proprietor between s and 9 o'clock the night of Octo- hpr
