Chamber of Commerce
 Has Fine Luncheon

The millionaire pudding served at yesterdays luncheon brought out a large crowd at yesterdays session of the chamber of commerce. If one is in doubt as to what attraction this city holds for others, a forty-minute rest at the noontime luncheon will con- vince the most skeptical that Seward is surely in red ink on the maps of many outside cities and concerns, the individuals desiring information on every conceivable subject increasing in number
 After the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting and the regular routine had been disposed of, the members were introduced to Captain Leadbetter, of the U. s. lighthouse tender Cedar. The Captain surely knows his stuff relative to the neces- sity of placing a lighthouse at the en- trance to Resurrection Bay, and among the interesting points touched was the fact that inasmuch as the Chamber has communicated with our delegate in Washington, all the Chamber can do at present is to mark time, as Con. gress adjourns within a short time, and it will be impossible to get any favorable action on any bill for a lighthouse at this session of Congress. It was intimated that the cost of the necessary light would be close to S2O0,OOO, and it would be two years at least after the passage of the bill before the improvement could be completed Captain Leadbetter said fog horn signal and radio signal would be included in the equipment of the proposed lighthouse.
 The Captian also pointed out that Seward was in actual need of a Pub lie Health Officer and Marine Hospital and deemed it advisable for Seward citizens to make every effort to have an officer and hospital located at this | port Ol Call.
 The Chamber ordered a four-drawer steel letter file cabinet, cap size, to take care of the increasing number of valuable papers which are accu mulating in the hands of the secre | tary.
 The printing committee reported progress in compiling the chamber of commerce illustrated book and are on the lookout for suitable pictures which will be incorporated in same
 MT. Guy Barnett was appointed on the Membership Committee, filling the place of MT. Wm Irwin, who is out side on visit.
 | The Increase Committee report in stantaneous responses in signing UT members, and in only very few cases have they been asked to call at g later date in the month. This is prob ably due to each and every member of the chamber Talking it Up" with the rank and file of citizens in Sew ard, and showing them the benefits to be derived in becoming members
 Tickets for the coming American Legion dance were rapidly disposed l of among the members.

CHAPMAN DENIES
MURDER ON STAND
Makes Cool Witness, Speaks
MusingIy of Long Grim
inaI Record.
By the Associated Press.


HARTFORD, Conn, April Ger
aid Chapman this morning took the
stand In his own defense on a charge
of having murdered Patrolman James
Skelly in New Britain last October II.
Chapman, cool and collected. speak
ing in clear tones, denied he had been
in the Davidson & Leventhal store in
New Britain at any time. 1t was in
this store that Skelly was murdered.
His direct examination was brief.
Under questioning of Frederick J..
Groehl. he told of having met Walter
F. Shean of Springfield, Mass, who
first accused him of the Skelly mur-
der, through the agency of Dutch
Anderson, his pal of the New York
mail robbery.
Refuses to he Rushed.
Under cross-examination he re-
fused to be rushed into answers at the
hands OF State Attorney Hugh NJ.
Alcorn. Alcorn went into the pris-
oners past life over the objections
of Groehl, which Judge Jennings
overruled
CooIly and candidly he discussed his
spectacular criminal record under Al
corn's urging. He admitted four
previous criminal convictions and dis
cussed them dispassionately
When Alcorn asked the unfiinching
witness if he had a gun when he
held up the mail truck in New York
in 1921 he said he had not. "Ander-
son had, but l had not" he said.
Alcorn disagreed with Chapman S
version of the mail robbery, and the
witness, looking straight into the
prosecutors eyes said:
Il don't want to argue this mat
ter with you. l don't wish to go into
the case at all. 1t has nothing to do
with this charge of murder"
Thought Policeman Bandit.
He had fired a shot at a Muncie
policeman at the time of his arrest
because he thought him a hold up
man, he said. He said nothing be-
fore "he poked a gun under my heart

pany, was held for grand jury action
on a charge of perjury today after
Federal Judge Mack had dismissed
the bill of complaint filled by Duell
in. his suit to compel Lillian Gish,
screen star, to make pictures ,nly fnr
his company.
Never in 22 years of judicial ex-
perfence,' said Judge Mack, have /
had before me a case Of such a
fragrant breach of trust as has been
shown in this. With the possible
exception of one case, l have heard
no other case wherein there was
more perjury in connection with both
affidavits for preliminary injuncttons
and the testimony offered to the court" "
Bail for Duell was fixed at $4,000.
but Judge Mack later released him
in the custody of his counsel and
brother, Holland s. Duell.
Duell was undergoing cross-exain-
ination when the trial was halted.
The trial began on March 23.
Duell admitted that. he consulted
Elihu Roots frm last year concerning
possible libel proceedings against a
newspaper for publishing that he and
the actress were engaged.
Duell had claimed throughout his
testimony that he and Miss Gish were
engaged, explaining that there were
two phases of the romance-one
when they were "unofficially" en-
gagged before his divorce and another
when they were Officially" engaged
after his divorce. The engagement
was broken by consent, Duell AYERS.
Miss Gish has denied it ever existed.
When Duell admitted yesterday
that he had asked legal advice con-
cerning libel proceedings; counsel for
MISS Gish said Due1l had furnished
Roots firm with note denying the
engagement. Counsel produced the
note. signed by Miss Gish. The law

was in Duelfs handwriting. 1t read:

PROPOSE INTERVAL
S|GNALSFOR TURNS
Eldridge Considering New
Plan to Simplify Traffic
at intersections.

A plan for simplifying the move
ment of traffic at busy Intersections
by having a separate interval of time
for vehicles making a right or left
hand turn is being. considered by Di-
aide, Col. l. c. Moller.
If the proposal is adopted there
would be a yellow light or signal
flashed in-between the red and the
green. During that period no traffic
would move except the vehicles turn
ing to the right or left.
Under this system, Col. Moller said,
parking of machines would not be
permitted within so feet of the corner.
A white line would be painted paral-
lei with the curb from each corner
to the point where parking begins.
tiou and wishing to turn right or
left would file intD this marked lare
alongside the curb and wait for the
yellow signal before turning.
Greater Pedestrian Safety.
One of the problems of the past has
been how to safeguard the pedestrian
against vehicles making turn at an
intersection. This scheme is intended
to obviate that danger.
Pedestrians would cross, Col. Moller
said, when traffic is moving in the
direction in which they are walking.
The traffic officials also are consider
ing a clause for the revised traffic reg
ulatfons stating that pedestrians have
the right of way at crosswalks and
vehicles have the right of way between
intersections.
This question is closely related TO
that of y-walking. Mr. Eldridge hav-
ing announced several days ago that
he was inquiring into the advisability
of a regulation requiring pedestrians
to cross at the intersections in con-
gested sections.
No Final Decision Made.
Although these and many other sug-
gestions as to brake testing, head
lights and similar phases of traffic
regulation are being discussed by the
traffic officials, 1t was made plain TO-
