Suggests Women TO Fill Vacant
Pulpits

Why not call in some of the edu-
Gated women to become preachers of
the gospel? asked the Rev. j. Line
ham, president of the United Metho-
dists' Conference. speaking at meet
ing of church workers in Blythe, Eng.
on the great decrease in the number
of local ministers in the Methodist
churches of the country.
I'VE might call in the women be-
cause in these days women were I'M
dertaking tasks as they had never
done before" said the Rev. Mr.. Line
ham. Women should do wonderful
work as ministers, as they had love
and sympathy and a delicate intuition
which men had not. Take away wom-

weakened"

FILIPINO WRITES OF HIS
 ALASKA EXPERIENCE

What one Filipino thinks about the trip to Alaska on board a sailing schooner, with his activities and i'm pressions gained while working for q oannery during the season, is re- lated in the following contribution received and published verbatim in the Seward Gateway
 Every year Alaska becomes one of the many rendezvous places for Filipinos from the coast. Hundreds, nay. thousands, of Filipinos. from north of Washington state down to southern California are lured to go to Alaska during the salmon sea- son regardless of small compensa- tions, the hardships they must en- dure. the sacrifices they would be called to meet. Very seldom you will meet a Filipino along the Pa cific coast who had never been in Alaska. Some of them have been going every season for ten years; many of them have exciting, thrill ing and yillainous experiences, and few have remained. forever, in the soil of Alaska. Mercy to those who have been called by Our Divine Providence above! They are work ing for various salmon canneries north and along the entire south eastern coast.
 ''We left San Francisco on a sail ign ship. the Star of Shetland, and our trip meant, of course, days of torture. nights of anguish, and a weary trudge over a deceitful, tenn pestuous and precipitous ocean path. As soon as We came out from the Golden Gate. we caught and almost instantly felt to meet face to face with hard, cold facts of life of tranquility. Oh. woe 10 the ship threatened with such tranquility. If you would know what it is, go forth in the silence at the middle of the ocean, when every wind from various directions is hushed, every echo of the waves followed with the wind is mute, and all nature seems to listen in dumb, terrified and breathless expectation: go forth and spend a few days, and see the terri lbe tranquility by which you are surrounded.
 = Thanks to Almighty We ar rived at our destination and upon our arrival at the cannery, about twenty miles from the town of Kar- lux. Kodiak Island, We found the place few, very few human habita- tions. It is a melancholy atmos- phere, indeed but melancholy as it is, it must be met with strong fortitude of conviction for the cause 10 existence.
 Indifference, dislike and disgust were sickening and miserable, in deed, among Us; but, We started to do many things to create many sen sations and improved to the utter most no matter what and how by those who have nothing to do sim ply to overcome the dull world upon us.
 Alaska is a wonderful place every tint in the place in which we are surrounded spoke Natures love Illness, and every sound breathed Heavens melody, and every breeze was but embodied fragrance. To every Filipino, never, never can he forget these "reminiscences. We store in our mind such memories from Alaska forever, and in private life, they shall always be the com panion of our solitude whenever

MOONSHINE BRINGS OLD
 PIONEER TO 4 SAD END

Rasmus Anderson. oldtime char acter and miner of the North, met with a tragic end in Vancouver a short time ago, according to word which has been forwarded here re- garding his death. More commonly known in this country as Rough lock- Anderson, the former Sour dough made a nice little sum of money mining here and in 1922 he left for a trip to the outside. leav- ing many business transactions be- hind in the hands of some of his friends. On account of these bus mess transactions it was necessary for those handling his affairs in here to keep track of Anderson on the Outside.
 His last known address was at Soap Lake, Washington, but for the last two years letters addressed to that place were left unealled for by the addressee. As he had left bus mess behind which was of an i'm portant nature, pertaining to claims and other personal belongings, no small amount of time and effort was exerted in an endeavor to locate the lost man, but without avail. The 1Jr +i,, ,- spring, however, when Billy Rad ford. now of Vancouver. formerly of Dawson, came into possession of a letter from Anderson postmarked from the asylum at Salem, Oregon. Radford got busy on the case inn mediately and Donald Mcleod, for mer Dawson boy and lawyer, now in Vancouver, was vested with au- thority for Anderson's release, and he set out at once for Salem to have the former miner freed. Donald ac- complished this task very nicely and took Anderson back to Vancouver under parole.
 oIAt A4lD4 EaLiO44S II lCluHf Ailt whole story of Anderson's weird dis appearance was brought to light It so happened that few months after he had reached the coast he decided to take a trip down to San Francisco. On the way to his des- tination he ran into former friends who took him on a booze party which he claimed was a trough af fair" and where he was treated to the most powerful moonshine and finally robbed. Deprayed over his condition and the loss of his money Rasmus became temporarily insane and consequently the authorities grabbed him and put him in the asylum at Salem. Here he quickly came into his own again, but the authorities would gront him no re- lease although they trusted his san ity enough to put him to work fir ing a boiler in that institution. For two years he had been engaged at this work and yet unable during that time to get word to any of his friends.
 After Anderson had been in Van couyer for a short time it was de- cided that he should best return to Dawson. but it was while these preparations were being made that the former sourdough of the North became violently sick in Vancouver and finally died a raying maniac Anderson was known by many peo- pie in the North, and on the news of his tragic death will feel deeply sorrowful for the untimely fate which ended his career.-Dawson News.

OVERTURNED LAUNCH
DEAD MOUNT TO IA
ditioRaI Bodies of Missing
Launch Passengers.

Melbourne, Fla. AT - Fisher
men and other volunteers early today
were searching the rocks and jetties
for three additional bodies expected to
bring 80 fourteen the death list of the
launch Clara B, capsized in the Allan
tic at the mouth of Sebastian inlet
late yesterday with party of 20, prin-
cipally Kansans.
All of the rescued suffered cuts and
bruises when dashed against the rocks,
but the condition of only one was re-
garded as serious.
The passage of the inlet was made
safely, but because of rough seas out-
side, Captain Arnold decided to turn
back, The boat failed to- respond to
the helm quickly enough, some of the
rescued said, and was quarter
around when a wave swept over the
deck, washing several members of the
party overheard. The next wave
which hit the craft turned it over.
The heroic efforts of James Arnold,
12-year-old son of Captain Arnold,
saved the lives of four passengers who
had been thrown into the raging
breakers when his fathers launch
turned turtle.
Survivors said the lad swan ashore
and obtained a small boat, returned to
the yacht, jumped into the water and,
lighting against the high waves, sue
ceeded in placing four persons in the
boat and landing them safely.

HARTNELL LOSER
AT SALEM AGAIN
Thieves Get Away With
Car While Mrs. Hartnell
Is at Meeting.
FOURTH TIME in YEAR

The old axiom that says when it
rains it pours, is being brought home
with telling effect upon the household
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Hartnell in the
town of Salem. For the fourth time
within the past year or so the activi-
ties of burglars and thieves have left
their mark on the Hartnells. On
Thursday night a 1925 Jewett sedan
was stolen from Mrs. Hartnell and
in spite of the fact that every read
in the county was patrcled as soon
as the report was made to the
sheriff's Office, no trace Of the car
has yet been found.
Mrs. Hartnell had gone to a meet
ing of the Salem Parent Teachers as
ISOLATION Thursday evening about
thirty o'clock. She had driven
to the school house in a brand new
sedan for which her husband is the
agent in the township.
Heard Noise Outside.
The car was parked behind the
school house and Mrs. Hartnell was
soon in the midst of the deliberations
of the association. She heard a noise
as or the racing OF an engine aput
thought that some one else was just
driving in with their car. When the
meteing was over shortly after nine
O'Clock Mrs. Hartnell discovered that
her new car was missing and what she
had believed was another car was prob
ably her own car being stolen.
Sheriff Frank Wiflems was called
and he despatched all of his deputies
to the scene. But the car thieves
had over an hours start and the chase
was hopeless. The direction of the
car was indicated southwark by the
trail left by the new tires.
On three other occasions the Hart
nell garage has been robbed, each
time the loot mounting to q consid-
cradle sum.

STATE TAXES FOR
1926 RENTED
lContinued FROM para b

Continued from page y
Director Laughlin. Under the old
system with a personal property Off
set, the personal property valuation
was naturally high. With taxpayers
paying both personal property tax and
income tax there will be a natural
decrease in this item with a suisse
quent loss to the city, as the entire
personal property tax goes to the city.
The state tax eommissions recognized
this fact by decreasing personal
property values in setting the tax
valuations o. the county.
How much this decrease will be is
not known, but it is estimated that it
will not be less than $4,000.
There is still one more place where
the city of Kenosha will lose by the
change. The eounty's share of the
income tax will decrease and the city
Of Kenesha as comprising more than
seventy per cent of the county
will have to pay the lions share
OF this decrease.
State Not City Profits.
Director Laughlin declared that the
remission of the taxes merely proved
the statement made >previOus that
under the new system the industrial
cities of the state would be made
to carry practically all Of the tax
burden of the state.
Because of the fact that the per-
sonal property Offset is removed, it
will mean that the taxpayer will pay
both taxes and the city will collect
much more money in taxes than here
tefore. But the percentage of this tax
money which remains in Kenosha will
decrease inasmueh as the state which
took $4,000 income taxes here last
year and $4,000 in general taxes,
making total of $4,000, will next
year take on the same figures $780, 900,
Even with the remission Of taxes
it is clear from this that the state
will take from Kenosha county APP
proximately $4,000 more in 1926
than it did in 1925.
County Also Loses.
The change will also react against
the county of Kenosha, but not to so
marked a degree. Last year the
county's share of the income tax was
approximately $4,000, being 20 per
cent of the net total. Under the new
plan the, county share of ten per cent
would be only 100000. The county
by the remission of taxes will not
have to pay $3s,724 which was paid
last year, this leaving the county loser
here by approximately $4,000.
The total state tax for Kenosha
county last year was $t16,724.64 of
which the city's share was approx
mately $4,000 leaving the county at
$S6,724. This is the amount which
will be RENTED under the announce
ment made today.

DEATH MAY SAVE
WOLF FROM CELL
John w. Worthington Re-
turns to Chicago to Give
Himself Up.
ILL, HE MAKES WILL

Chicago, ILL., AZ Death may
cheat the prison bars from which John
w. Worthington, the "wolf of La Sale
street" has been fleeing for two years.
Broken in health, Worthington is
back in Chicago, where his frenzied
financial operations brought him mill
lions and two years sentaace in
Atlanta, to- make his will and to OBJ
tain stay of execution of the sem
tence so that he may die here.
The results of his life's labor as a
gambler, broker and finally fugitive
from justice are about 100000, he
said. And he wants to keep this intact
for his daughters. One, Alice, appears
in motion pictures as Jane Allen.
After that is settled, he does not
care if he goes to Jail.
Friends relate how years ago he was
an alderman in Birmingham, Ala, and
president of twenty-seven Alabama
banks. Why he left, no one tells.
Once he served thirteen months in
Sing Sing prison.
Bet Gave Him Start.
A SIS bet at race track started him
amassing money from gambling.
In 1923 the government started an
Investigation of his operations and
convicted him on a charge of using
the mails to dafaud. He was sem
fenced to serve two years in prison but
in January of this year he received a
stay because of i'll health. He fed.
In June he was arrested while a
patient in a Los Angeles sanitarium.
1t was claimed he could not be
moved because of his condition, but
he disappeared.
Until his dramatic temperance in
Chicago yesterday, when he summoned
his attorney to his hotel, only vague
reports of his whereabouts in Mexico
had been made.
