BROWN BEARS ARE A MENACE TO
LIFE

The attack on w. G. Harding the other day
by a brown bear is just another illustration of
the need for removing all protection from these
ferocious animals in those parts of Alaska where
settlement or development is in progress. The
brown bear is menace to life in Southeastern
Alaska-and in other parts of the Territory.
The sooner they exterminated the safer will
it be for all who go beyond the city limits.
When one considers the narrow escape of Mr..
Harding he wonders that berry piekers, grouse
and duck hunters and picnickers have not been
Killed in this vicinity. Not only ought the bear
that so nearly killed him be hunted down, but no
brown bear in this section elsewhere in
Alaska where people go in the course of their
work or for pleasure should be permitted to exist
longer than is necessary to put him out of the

"Why Go to Church ?"
(Prince Rupert News. J


The question is often asked, why go tt
church. when there is so much to do, and wher
worship God at home and in the greer
fields or on the water under the beautiful canopy
of heaven? Why go to sit in pew? Why
take time to worship with others when we car
worship alone? Perhaps one of the main reasons
why such questions are asked is found in the
fact that worship often degenerates to a mere
formal ceremonial and has been robbed of de
yotion and reverence.
Such questions usually raised by people
who do not attend church. Those who do at
tend, either regularly rregularly, usually fee
the need for it and get help from it, This
at any rate, would be the testimony of the ma
jority. Here is what clergyman recently said
The very fact that we are so busy
and that life is constant in its de-
mands, is a very real reason for the
existence of places of worship. The
quiet poise which results from periods
of reverent thinking will do more than
anything else to impress upon us life's
real meaning. life without quiet re-
Election and worship cannot withstand
the lowering and vugarizing influences
of continued association with the world
The pulpit and the church. however
have been omewhat responsible for the
open criticism which exists against them
both When the pulpit lowers itself
and becomes mere platform for social
political or religious controyersy-w
ii becomes a rostrum for oratorcal elo-
quenee-or when it seeks to attract
though the fascination of the lecture
in literary or travel subjects it soon
loses its force.
The church which tries to lead its
people into meditation and true devo-
ton to carry the thoughts into higher
and purer and nobler channels than Is
usual in the busy work-a-day world,
confers a real blessing If you have
never known the peace that comes from
quiet reverent hour when thoughts
dwell alone with the great realities
YOU have never been fortunate enough
to go to a real place of worship. 1t
would be a sound thing TO experiment
in this matter and really find out from
first hand whether not a church serv-
ice has not something to give which
YOU need and very often in your serious
moments want with surprising in
tensity.

times they missed while piling un

enjoy good times with after they
are gone.
No intelligent person believes
the world is flat, but try and find
one that can be convinced that
there may be another side besides
the one he has.
Rigid physical examinations
may insure better children, but a

before, and her husband had gone
to America. They had arranged
that she would follow him as soon
as he had found a good job.
Then leonardo appeared on the
scene.
A native of Italy, he had been
living in America for years and was
an American citizen. Also, he was
very wealthy man. He was one
of the biggest RUN runners in north
ern Ohio; and when he wanted
something he got it, regardless OF
money or expense.
leonardo, seeing Constantine,
wanted her. Constantine, in turn,
was dazzled by the f1ashily dressed
man from across the sea. leonardo
wore striped silk shirts, natty
American suits. had great diamonds
on his fingers and in his tie. In his
pockets were great rolls of American
bills.
He showered gifts and attentions
on Constantine. She wavered, then
accepted them. Finally leonardo
asked her to go to American with
him.
She was afraid to, fearing her
husband.
Then little later came word that
Constantina's husband had been
shot to death in New York. So
Constantine yielded.
So leonardo brought the girl to

Cleveland. But when they got here
she found that his glowing tales of
the promised land" were, not being
substantiated. leonardo had wife
and six children; so Constantine
could not share his home and be-
come his wife.
Instead, leonardo installed her in
an apartment. 1t was a luxurious
place; the monthly rent would have
been good years pay for worker
back in Licata, and the furniture
was better than any furniture Cons
tantina had ever seen before. There
were many news and costly gowns;
many jewels; everything that a
girls heart could wish-except free
dom.
Police Find Her
For Constantine was a prisoner.
leonardo allowed her to see no one
but himself. She could not venture
out alone; for even had leonardo re-
Taxed his vigilance, she knew not a
word of English, and he saw to it
that she learned none.
But now it is ended. leonardo was
shot to death by some rival in the
liquor racket. And his death left
Constantine helpless. The police
found her and turned her over to
immigration authorities. And re-
quest has gone to Washington for a
deportation order.

PLOT TO KILL
PRESIDENT OF
GREECE FAILS
Nations Chief Executive Is
Shot, Slightly Hurt;
Hold Gunman.
BY ANTHONY KEDRAS
United Press Staff Correspondent

ATHENS, Greece, Oct. 81. -
Troops are patrolling the city and
guarding telegraph and telephone
offices to prevent possible commun-
istic disturbances following yester-
days unsuccessful attempt to assas-
sinate President Paul Koundouriots
of Greece.
Officials charge that the presi-
dents alleged assassin, Zaflri Gous-
sios, a waiter, is a communist, and
the cabinet council has decided to
enforce most rigorous antl-com-
munist measures.
Following an overnight investiga-
ton, police declared today that
royalists were implicated in what
they said was plot to kill the
president.
Assassin Sound in Mind
Goussios, they said, was OF COM
pletely sound mind. He is only
slightly deaf, it was added-not
totally deaf, as he had claimed.
The Government is contemplating
legislation to speed up trials of COM
munist offenders, and is prepared
either to restrict communist news
papers and activities generally or
even to suppress all communiStic or
CARNATIONS.
The Government is preparing its
case against GouSSioS, who is &C
cused of shooting the president in
the right temple as the latter was
leaving a meeting of mayors and
heads of municipalities at city hall.
AS President Koundouriotis was
stepping into his motor car, a man
lurking near the staircase ran out.
When only a few PAGES from the
president, he fired point blank. The
bullet shattered the window of the
car and struck Koundouriotis in the
temple.
Because the force of the bullet
partially was spent, it did not
pierce the skull.
Taken to Clinic
The president was taken to the
municipal clinic, where he will re-
main until Wednesday, when he will
be removed to the presidential pal
ace.
Goussios was arrested immediate
ly. He said he was native OF
Larissa. The attempted assassina-
ton created a sensation in Athens
Police claim that when they
searched Goussios they found Com
munist and Anarchist literature on
his person.
Physicians announced that the
presidents condition was not Sc
rious, as the bullet merely had
grazed the bone of his skull.
He passed quiet, feverless night
This morning he received visitors
including several diplomats.

FIRM FORMED
TO PAY FALL,
U. S. CONTENDS
Continental Trading Co.
Was Mere She'll Claim
of Prosecutor.
BY HERBERT LITTLE,


WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. The
Continental Trading Company was
a mere Shell" an illusory corpora
ton created by Harry F. Sinclair
and others for single transaction
now alleged to be linked with the
Teapot Dome conspiracy, owen j.
Roberts, Government prosecutor, de-
clared in the Fall-Sinclair con-
spiracy trial today.
The Continental Company was
the corporation from which Former
Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall
received $203,5OO Liberty Bonds
shortly after signing the Teapot
Naval oil reserve over to Sinclair.
A huge oil deal, the Government
claims, enabled it to provide this
block for Fall.
New Snag Is Struck
The Government today ran into
a further judicial Snag in it's efforts
to'prove that Fall was in conspiracy
with Sinclair when he granted the
latter the famous Teapot Dome
naval oil reserve lease in 1922.
Justice Siddons ruled that former
Senator Charles Thomas of Colo
RADIO need not answer one of the
questions by which the Government
lawyers hoped to show the Cont
mental Trading Company, from
whom Fall got $23O,5oO in Liberty
bonds, was formed for the purpose
among others, of rewarding Fall
for the Teapot Dome leave.
Plans Altered Suddenly
The company purchased millions
of barrels of oil from A. E. Hum
phreys in November, 1921, and sold
them the same day, half to Sinclair
and half TO Standard Oil Companies
at rs cents a barrel profit. The
Government holds Sinclair was
more intimately connected with the
company then as mere purchaser
of oil.
To make this point in court, Pros
ecutor Owen Roberts tried I'M
successfully to show that Sinclair
originally was expected to be one of
the buyers Of Humphreys Oil, but
that the plans were altered suddenly
and the purchaser was changed to
read the Continental Company.
Call Standard Oil Chief
Robert w. Stewart, head of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana,
was to be called to the stand in a
Government effort to link Harry F.
Sinclair more closely with the Con-
tinental Trading Company
Stewart was the only Govern
ment witness whose testimony was
not known in advance.
