 Clearly Ned Barron had no recollection of Sears whereabouts at the moment in question. but he was quite evidently willing and anxious to assist his friend. and ready to back Up his word.

Like her, I have no reason to suspect you of any hand in the crime.

Now, will you tell us who were near you. as you were in the ocean at point. say, about fifty feet away from Mir. Folsom, to the south?
 Why, yes, certainly. Let me see. there was-it's strange. but I can't for the moment think of anyone I know. You see. know so few peo- pie down here. and my.son had just left me to swim far out into the breakers. with

 That's all right, said Miss Fol som. impatiently: we're not con- cerned with Mir. Robin Sears or the girl hes engaged to. It's Mr. Croy- don Sears who interests me, and I want someone who will verify his statement that he was not near my brother when he died. Surely that is not too much to ask. when I am so deeply concerned in my quest for the truth"
 No, Miss Folsom. that is not too much to ask" and Tite Riggs lips shut tight together. a habit of his when much perplexed. But, of course. Mir. Sears, you can satisfy the lady's requirement..

Facts from a Dry Senator.
(New York World. )


 On top of the charges made against Prohbi- tion officers by John w. H. Crim formerly Assist ant Attorney General of the United States, come more charges of the same sort, made by United States Senator Clarence c. Dill of the State of Washington. MT. Grim, it will be recalled. all legged that Federal, State, city and county en- forcement officers are collecting $25,000O00 a day in bribes Senator Dill alleges that the officers not only take brbes but have not the slightest hesitation in admitting that they do so
 ..They say of course," Senator Dill goes on, ..that they take the bribes in order to get evil dence The bootlegegrs say that agents keep most of the bribe money. From the amount of that the charges of the bottleggrs are correct y country breaking into peoples houses and shoot ing without proper provacation.' As instances of this he cites the of an elderly farmer in Southern Maryland, who after resisting raid made without warrant, was shot dead last week by four agents; and of agents in his own state who have been breaking into houses without warrants, destroying the property of people who had no more idea of violating the law than l have" As remedy for this unbelievable" state of affairs he would require that all agents furnish bond before they are employed at all, so that if they commit unlawful acts their victims may have some way of securing redress

ABOUT JUNEAU WEATHER.

Elsewhere on this page is an article from the Seattle Star in which, among other things, it is said the Coast Guard cutter Unalga had become so thoroughly rain soaked in Alaska that she needs trip to southern waters where she might be dried out It says the Unalga homeports at Juneau where she has seen three months of time unbroken by a bit of sunshine, while Skagway, "2O0 miles away" Isc1, was enjoying perfect summer.
 The Star man probably got most of his article out of his imagination, for he never told it by Capt. Weightman who knows.
 In the first place, the Unalga only spent about 32 days in Juneau during the last summer. Ii she had been here for three months she would have got thoroughly dried out, for Juneau had beautiful sunshiny weather during throughout the summer. The summer of 1926 was also dry and warm. So if the Unalga permitted to stay at her home-port in the summer time, she would shed her dampness without going south
 In the meantime suggest, the Star editor ought to request that its writing staff consult the Weather Bureau records before discussing Juneau weather conditions again.

Coast Guard Asks Time to "Dry and Thaw."
Seattle Star.)


 Ask the American housewife what she'd do if her bedding clothing and entire house were saturated with moisture for days, months and years on end without chance to dry and sun and air out the mold and the mildew-
 That's the problem Roger Chew Weightman. Commander of the U. S Coast Guard cutter Unalga brought back Tuesday from Alaska
 It formed the basis of urgent prayers to Wash ington back and forth in the, mails for the past month that the Unalga be allowed to go to Southern California for week of drying-out after it's annual month of overhauling-next March six more months away and after nearly four unbroken years of dampness.
 Coast Guardsmen expalined the problem that has made the Unaga "the ship or perpetual damp

 They told of seeing three months Of con tinuous rain at Juneau, for instance, absolutely unbroken by bit of sunshine, while Skagway 208 miles away was enjoying summer. ihey told of Bering Sea fogs that clung to the cloth fap like dew and penetrated like soaking rain
 And during the winter she divides her time bet,veen seattle when this city is enjoying US rains and Southern Alaska, where it's warm and rainy-at the time when Boring Sea would be cold enough to dry the air
 What her crew now hopes for is week of southern heat to take off every hatch. open every porthole literally "open her up, use fans and ventilators and bake her out.

NOT AUTHORIZED TO SPEAK FOR
 FORMER MADOO MEN.

W. R. Hoister who a Missouri delegate in the Madison Square Convention in 1924, where he voted for MT McAdoo every ballot until he withdrew and says he present at every conference of the McAdoo supporters, declares that Mir Meredith and MT. McAdoo himself have no authority to speak for the "McAdoo supporters of 1924" He declares that their allegations as to what the progressive Demo- crats' will do in 1928 mean nothing except what they propose to do themselves. He says the great body of the former McAdoo supporters will do their own thinking--and that they doing 1t. For one he makes it clear that he will support Senator Reed as long he is candidate and, if he Is not nominated, he may support Gov. Smith.
 The indications are very plain that MT. Ho- lister states the case exactly so far as lot of the former McAdoo supporters are concerned. One after another former McAdoo supporters have de clared that they are for Gov Smith. Former Att torney General Mitchell, former Postmaster-Gen- eral Burleson B. M Baruch Thomas l.. Chad bourne Hugh c. Wallace, whole host of Cali fornians and others from the West have made plain announcements to that effect. The recent ogden Confernece was made up very largely of former McAdoo supporters.
 Most of the .'de-hards" of the late McAdoo camp who still standing out are from States that would give conservative Republican an overwheing majority any of the 'de-hard' crowd 1t is a safe guess that Gov. Smith would come nearer carrying MT. Merediths State of Iowa than Mr. Meredith would nearer carrying Cali fornia or New York, whatever State he now claims than would MT McAdoo.

SUGGESTION IS NOT SOUND.

The suggestion that Mrs Woodrow Wilson should be nominated for Vice-President to run on ticket to be headed by Gov. Smith first came from the South and was made by one who understands the sentimentalism of the people from rural regions Now Hugh c. Wallace known throughout the Northwest a local product, former American Ambassador to France, has add ed his endorsement to the proposal
 Really the significant thing connected with this proposal is the admission it connotes that Gov Smith is the proper and probable person to head the Democratic Presidential ticket It is in line with previous suggestions from the South of this person and that for the Vice Presdency-Gov. Moody. of Texas Senator Tyson and Cordell Hull of Tennessee Gov. Mclean of North Carolina etc-persons who would over come antagonisms of the South to Tammany- ite. wet and Catholic for President.
 Of course the suggestion of Mrs Wilson for Vice President is not sound. It is so unsound that it would probably defeat the purpose of those who suggest it, if 1t were carried out and make the ticket weaker with the voters rather than stronger.
 yice-Presdential nominee ought to be ono whom one would want to succeed the President in case death or other calamity would remove him from office. One ought not to be asked tt vote for vice-President whom he would moi support for the Presidency itself.
