MRS. FRANK TOWLE kILLSBIG MOOSE
 FROM PORCH
KILLS ANIMAL WITH FOUR WELL DIRECTED SHOTS-iN TOWN
 FOR FEW DAYS

l Mrs Frank Towle wife of the Frank Towle, foreman for the Bureau of Pub lie Roads at Moose Pass, who arrived in town this week from her home at the lower end of Kenai Lake, stated to Gateway representative today that hunting was growing better in the Lower Lake country.
 Last week Mrs. Tow1e shot a large bull moose from her front porch, the animal being directly across the river from her home Four shots were fired before the animal dropped.
 According to Mrs. Towle it is lit tie too early for hunting in the region, one having to go so far to get to the good hunting, and the weather being little warm to keep meat. The last week in November is considered the best for hunting as the moose range closer in to the lake, and may be brought in with pack horse, now at 1 the lower landing.
 | Some severe weather was encounter ed coming up the lake, the waves pill ing up mountain-high, forcing Captain Bell of the staunch launch Kenai, to turn back and await the blowing-over of the storm.
 It is expected there will be num- | Der of hunters in the Kenai district later on this fall, as moose are unusu- ally plentiful this season. Mrs. Towle, who is accompanied by her baby daughter, will return to her home in a few days

invitation from the League of Ma

partment late today by cable from
Minister Gibson at Berne.
I With Secretary Kellogg in New
York. officials declined to give out
any information as to it's contents or
even as to its length. 1t could not
be determined. therefore, how the
invitation might fall in with the
statements of President Coolidge
that the Washington government was
not averse to entering into confer
ences for the discussion of such
questions, provided there was hope
that effective agreements would re-
suit.

the league in the scope of the invita-

al conferences which though initiated
by the league, included montague
members, such as the opium confer
ence and that for control of the

Uphold Claim
Holders of German
Notes Seized by u. S.

Washington, Dec. 14.-(AP)-Am-
erican holders of German treasury
notes purchased before the United
states entered the World war were
upheld by the supreme court TO-DAY
In their effort to satisfy their claims
out of funds belonging to the Ger
man government seized by the amen
property custodian.
In an opinion delivered by JUS
tice Holmes, covering 20 cases, the
court ruled that the United States
government was not entitled to prl-
ority in satisfying its claims against
Germany out of these funds, which
include $2,715.571 identified as be-
longing to the imperial German
government.
The German government, having
failed to make any provision for the
redemption of it's treasury notes, the
American holders entered suits In
the federal courts, asking judgments
to satisfy their claims out OF the
German funds. This was opposed
by the government, which asserted
that It had claims amounting to
S4OO, O00, 600 against Germany .or the
payment of which Germany had
made no provision and that II was
entitled to supply the $2,715,51 to
that account. The lower courts de-
cided in favor of the individual
holders and the government APP
pealed.

FIDDLER "MELL|E"

New York, Dec. 14.-(AP)-"Alellie'
Durham came to town today and
proved that real backwoodsman is
more of a spectacle to New York than
the big city is to fiddler who has
lived ~ years in the woods.
A crowd surrounded him at Grand
Central Station when he arrived from
Detroit, where he fiddled last week for
Henry Ford. Later he went to the
stock exchange, and even the million
a-minutes traders stopped trading for
about 45 seconds to greet him. Every
sightseeing tour with all the air Of a
country town to see a celebrity.
Tonight he and Grandma Durham,
his 62-year-old wife, went to a supper
club revue. And the extent of white
haired Mellie's comment on it all was:
We'll! well! So this is New York;
His hosts told him he will be taken
with much ceremony tomorrow to see
Mayor Hylan and Tex Richard about
playing some of his old-time dance
tunes in Madison Square Garden,
which seats 10000 persons. and his
only comment was that 10000 lis a
heap o. folks"
He and Grandma, however, were To-
quacious enough about the farm at
Norway, Maine, the grandchildren. the
chickens. and the fine time they had in
Detroit teaching the Ford employees
the old-fashioned dances.
The five or six days they are in New
York they will be guests of A. F. Ma
sury, automotive engineer, who knew
Nellie in Maine.
Nellie, exuberant over his visit with
Ford. tonight told of his Detroit visit.
1T played a waltz" he said, land
Mr.. Ford came up to me and said
That's the best waltz / ever heard
Some compliment, Ell?
Then / played a quadrille, and he
said to me: We had to send to Maine
for a real fiddler
"F'orPs good dancer, too-just rs
light as a feather. Mr.. Ford says ]
handle the violin like, hesitating
and trying to recall the name-"Oh
yes like that fellow Kubelik."
Grandma Durham tried to suppress
her husbands boyish enthusiasm only
once during his recital. That was
when he began to tell Of his trip to
Montreal. the first long excursion out
Of Norway where he had been making
snowshoes, trapping and fddling all
his life.
"An' we was sober, too" he guf-
fawed, in memory of some little Incl
dent. Grandma snatched at his arm,
but she could not stop him from con-
tinuing comment on his visit.
