Funeral of
 J. E. Worden
 Held Sunday
His Death a Civic Bereave- ment-Interment in the
 Redmen's Cemetery

The Redmen's Hall was filled to capacity Sunday afternoon with sorrowing friends who were present to attend the funeral: of the late J. E. Worden, who died in Seattle on March IA.
 The impressive funeral service of the Episcopal church was conducted by the Rev. H. P. Corser, assisted by Dr. R. J. Diven. pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and Staff Captain ". J. Carruthers. who is at the head of the Salvation Army in Alaska.
 After the reading of the ritualis- tic service MT. Corser delivered an eulogy which we regret that we are unable to print in full. Instead of a lot of high sounding enconiums the speaker in most informal manner paid the tribute of one citi- zen to another Everyone realized that MT. Corser was talking straight from his heart and his plain simple remarks were all the more impress sive because they were absolutely true.
 He declared that the outstanding trait in MT. Worden's character was that of unselfishness, and that he was a man specially adapted to de- tail work, being by nature careful, painstaking and accurate. The speaker also told of the vast amount of gratuitous work done by MT. Worden at the time the town was incorporated 20 years ago. He also referred to the efficient manner in which he conducted the Wrangell postoffice for a number of years, doing many things which were not required of him by the Government. If steamers arrived in port after the postoffice had closed for the day MT. Worden, instead of giving himself the needed rest, would re- turn to the office and distribute the mail at night Service Was his watchword.
 MT. -Corser was followed by pr. Diven who spoke words of comfort TOT the bereaved relatives and friends.
 During the funeral service the following songs were sung: Near CT My God to Thee" Face to Face" Beautiful Isle of Some where" and "'Tis Midnight"
 The floral offerings were lavish and very beautiful A number of the floral pieces were from the greenhouses of Seattle and Juneau.
 At the grave L. M. Churchill, Past Sachem of the Redmen's lodge, read the short form of burial serv- ice atfer which each Redman pres ent deposited a sprig of evergreen in the grave as an emblem of faith in the immortality of the soul.
 The pallbearers were Mayor Geo. H. Barnes. Former Mayor John G. Grant, A. Vreatt, S. Cunning gha1n, Charles Benjamin, J. w. Pritchett.
 Mir. Worden was in poor health for several years prior to his death. : The cause of his death was given as cerebral arteriosclerosis After his arrival in Seattle consultation of doctors was held. All were baf- : fled, but the above was given as be- ing nearest correct. The doctors were so interested in the case that they wished to hold post mortems The body was accompanied to Wrangell. by Mrs. William A. Zent of, Seattle, family friend 4s
 
 John Elmer Worden was born July 4. 1861. at Niagara Falls, New York. When he was two years old his father died of injuries received in the Civil War. At the age. of nine his mother passed away, and he was reared by his fathers broth

ROYAL WEDDING REALLY
 AND TRULY LOVE MATCH
Nuptials uf Princess Mafalda and Prince Philip Win Take Place
 Next Wednesday.

Racconigi Italy. Sept. IS Pl-The marriage of Princess Mafalda of Italy and Prince Philip of Hesse next Wednesday will consecrate one of those rarities among the high born, a love match between the children of royalty.
 It will mark the result of Philips determination, conceived soon after he first met the daughter of the King and Queen of Italy, to upset the old tradition that all European royal marriages must be dictated by the parents for political reasons, and Princess Mafalda's unwillingness to sacrifice her happiness for a crown.
 The couple first met at a garden party at the royal villa of Sayoia several years ago, and soon discov- cred many tastes in common. Ma falda's interest began to show when palace gossip connected her name with several heirs apparent of reign ing houses of Europe, and she re- piled resolutely, T don't want to be a queen" At first this mystified her family and friends, but when Prince Philip came again to Italy, her in- terest was so apparent, that her father asked her:
 Do you think such marriage would make you happy?"
 The Princess replied that she lov- ed Philip and shared with him a de- sire for a simple life, filled with contact with the arts, music and other things in which both were in terested.
 Then the king assured her, your happiness is mine, too.'

HITTING MOTOR TRICK $ TO AID RAILROADS

Proposed changes in the motor laws of Connecticut, suggested by Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Stocckel. included higher taxes for trucks using state roads and th" flat rate for pleasure cars "adjust"d.' He also wants a corps of $o state policemen operating under the motor vehicle department, Part of their functions would be to look after de- tails regarding licenses and power to suspend them unIer certain condi- tiOns.
 The effort 10 make motor trucks pay more taxos will moot with oppo- siuon from tue truck owners, who can point 10 the fact that the rates in Connecticut ar" uriformly higher than in other New England states Registration of q slx-ton truck in Connecticut costs S-5o. with a f'c of S1o0 for every ton above six. In Massachusetts registration Of five ton truck is $50. with SIC additional for every ion above five, Fees in other Nov England States opp'ar to be even lower than in Massachusetts.
 Whether motor truck fees in Con- necticut ourat to be still higher or remain as they arc We are not pre- pared to say, II appears logical to effort to raiSe the already high rates ought to be higher in tas s'a'e '"ty should be very nuch higher in other New England statos.
 To most impartial observers 'o' effort to raosc the already high rates for motor trucks 'n this state will ap- pear like un cTort on behalf of 'he railroads to iajurc froight-carryins competitors. The railroad and 'rol- lev interests are sacred cows to inc politiciaus in Connecticut and one need not be surprised al another at- tempt to pull their clrstnuts oat oi the fire.

THE RUHDING COMMISSION
 AND THE MAYOR

A sage once remarked that lilrrr- enco of opinion hncps horse racing going, It can also he said that dif- ference Of opinion kneps city o1lriaIs going. Four members Of the buill- ing commission have gone as q re- suit Of viewpoints which do not parallel the viewpoint Of Mayor Pa oncssa.
 Since the present form Of govern mont was adopted by New Britain, it has been a question where mayor- ally influence should begin and end. Those who are strong Indi,iIuaists have inclined to the belief that inc mayor, being ,ho responsible eXccu- tive, should have more or less con- trol over the conduct Of commis- sioners whom he has appointed. Opponents of this thoory say that NIlH ulHSul \ Nt|tbl iNphilt >lIOlE lItIl to commissioners and then keep his hands off, placing on their shoulders the burden of administering their departments,
 In the dispute between Mayor Pa oncssa and the building commission, 1t was obvious that the situation had reached a point where seyering re- lations was the only solution. It was coincidrncc that the mayor sent letters asking three of the com- missioncrs to resign almost at the same time as four commissioners mailed their rcsignations, Tn sc lccting their successors, the mayor will probably choose men whose views are in harmony with his own and thus end the spirit of hostility between him and part of his official family.

AMBASSADOR HERE
 LAUDS MUSS0LIN|
Italian Envoy Pleads for Better
 Understanding Of Situation

New York, Jan. 17.-Praise of Premier Mussolini and the Fascist government and criticism of the op- position parties, were voiced today by Don Gelasio Caetani, Italian ann bassador to the United States, who is soon to retire to private life, in speech before the Italian chamber of commerce here.
 Pleading first for a better under standing of the Italian political situ- ation, the speaker said that Italy. unlike northern nations, was not adapted to the parliamentary ofrm of government.
 "There is one chara cteristc differ ence in the psychic and intellectual makeup of the Anglo Saxon and the Latin peoples. The former have a highly developed political conscience and great capacity for social organi- zaton. The Latins, instead, are eminently individualistic, endowed with high intellectual creative power. they lack political and social coal scence.'
 Many Blocs
 The result of this. he declared, Is that the Italian parliamentary body, instead of having a tWo-party sys- tenn, breaks up in "a multitude of blocs and parties having widely diff ferent political tendencies" 1,f l. said of freemasonry. Whereas in the United States and in England it is a | high minded organization with noble objectives, in Italy it has degenerat- ed into a secret political society, having for aim the protection of the porkbarrel and the distraction of the church"
 The parliamentary regime in Italy, | he said had always functioncd more or less badly" but after the war had "degencrated into such political mess that Fascism, upheld by popu- ! lar indignation, had to step in and l take in hand the rulder of the gov ernment."
 "Enemies of Fascism," he alleged, "latoly, through Il majority Of the Italian press, began an infamous campaign of suspicion, Of character | destruction and of wholesale lies" This opposition the retiring ambas- sador characterized as "A rifralf of heterogeneous clements having Wid"-
 ly different political and economic , 1inalitics--in other words, politi- cal minchelie." Giolitti Nitti and Garibaldi, and all those lame ducks" the ambassador assorted,
 had "brought Italy three years ago to the brink of the presciptcc.' 1 In conclusion he said; "l am not
 going to finish this speech with the
 usual hot air declaration. My de- votlon towards Italy and the lni'cd
 States is unquestion"d, We Facisti
 prefer actions to words and my aC-
 ton will be q proof of my devotion. "
