 BALL PARK SIGNS

Genuine oil paintings Of famous scenes in Alaska will beautlfy the Juneau Baseball Park during the coming season, according to an announcement made today by George Don Beymer, well known painter of the Territory.
 MT. Beymer said today he agreed to do the painting par ticularly as an aid to the Juneau Fire Department, which has charge of the grounds, and as a benefit to Juneau merchants.
 During his 22 years in Alaska, MT Beymer has spent much of his time travelling throughout the Territory making original sketches and hundreds of various original paintings were made on his tours.
 He has already agreed to paint a Mt. Mckinley sketch for the Nugget Shop, one of Taku Glacier for the Pacific Coast Coal Com pany, and one of Mendenhall Gla- cier for the Juneau Motor Com pany, he said. The Red. White and Blue Sign Shop, which is op- erated by Mir Beymer, is located al 346 Front Street.

AMERICAN"
 IS AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

Whether Famous Players-Lasky knew what they had in their hands when they decided to film this Zane Grey story, or simply discovered it after it was made, just as the old prospector of the West happened to discover the most paying gold mine when the burro upon which he rode hap pened to kick off an edge from q gold-bearing quartz vein, disclos- ing fhe glittering gold, 1t is hard to tell. But one thing one can tell---that "The Vanishing Ameri- can is a picture that will live in ones memory after hundreds of others have faded away, accord ing to critics. This feature is at the Liberty tonight.
 "The Vanishing American" deals with the vanishing Red Skin. It starts, first, with the cliff dwell CTS, perhaps two thousand years ago who, because of the sense of security to their lives that cama to them from dwelling in the in accessible sides of the cliffs, be. cane lazy, until the Red Skin In- tiians, more sturdy and warlike race of people, descended upon them. and exterminated them.

SEN, FRAZIER IN
FAVOR OF PLAN
TO OUTLAW WAR
Gives His Views on Resolution
Sponsored by Women's
Peace Union
Criticizes Administration for
Keeping Marines in
Nicaragua

Senator Lynn J. Frazier went
vigorously on record here last
night for the outlawing of war. He
also sharply criticized the admins
tration for keeping marines in Mic
aragua.
Addressing the Nonpartisan
League Women's club at q meeting
called to 'inaugurate the campaign
for election to the state treasurer
ship of Mrs. Berta E. Baker, he
gave an explanation of Senate
Joint Resolution No. /, sponsored
by the Women's Peace Union of
New York.
1t proposes, he said, to abolish
the army and navy and to end all
preparations for war as the most
effective way Of insuring world
peace.
Quoting DR.. Irving Fisher Of Yale,
he declared that he was convinced
that the next war Of world proper
tions will mean the suicide of the
world.
He said he heartily agreed with
the English statesman who recent
ly said: EITHER civilization must
destroy war or war will destroy
civilization.
1--WE must either move to outlaw
war;" the senator said, "or 60 on
with preparations for war. It is
idle to talk Of peace while preparing
for war.
War on New Scale
"Army experts tell us that the
next war will be waged on 4 scale
using chemicals by which whole
cities like New York would be wiped
out with every living peraon in
them. Scientists are preparing
gases and the deadly deeth ray
operated from airplanes, the most
deadly engine Of slaughter Of all
time.
1T is strange that after 1900
years Of Christian teaching the ma
tions adhere to war. After all, what
war in recent generations has been
worth the cost? They say we
would be defenseless if we outlawed
war and disarmed. Yet, what ma
tion will admit they fight for ag-
gresSion!
Secretary Of State Kellogg has
made some advances to outlaw ag-
gressive war, but he wants an army,
navy and airplane squadrons to pro-
tect us against aggressive war.
He is against aggressive war
but he sends our marines to Nicara-
qua. The record shows there was
no great danger to property before
our marines were sent there. It
shows, too, that we have practical
ly had marines in Nicaragua for 18
or 20 years. We kept marines and
battleships there in days of the
World War.
No Marines at Chicago
1--WE are told the marines are
there now to insure q legal election.
Yet we sent none to Chicago in the
recent election. We sent none to
Philadelphia. Should we send mar
ines to Canada to see that they have
honest elections there? It not, why
do we send them to Nicaragua?
"Allanson B. Houghton, ambassa-
dor from the United States to the
Court of St. James, declares war
results from a series Of maneuvers
to bring the masses into opposition.
The maneuvering is done by q little

Elliott Believes Bombing Was
Done by Sacco-Vanzetti
Sympathizers

New York, May 18.-tF-The
home Of Robert Elliott, official ex-
ecutioner for five states and the
man who pulled the death switch on
Sacco and vanzetti, was bombed
early this morning.
Elliott, his wife and two children,
were thrown from their beds by the
explosion but were uninjured. The
house, located in Queens Borough,
Long Island. was damaged consid-
erably. The front porch was torn
away, the front door blown down
and every window shattered.
Threats were received by Elliott
prior to the Sacco-Vanzetti execu-
tion and for = long time a police
guard was maintained about his
house. After the guard was re-
moved the policeman on that beat
had instructions to keep q special
watch over the home.
Elliott expressed the belief that
the bombing was done by sympathiz-
ers Of Sacco and vanzetti, radicals
executed at Boston for the staying
Of paymaster. A new police guard
was ordered around the home.
Folks Thrown From Beds
Elliott and his wife were asleep
in the rear room on the second floor
of the two-story cottage when the
bomb exploded. Their daughter
Gertrude, II, was in an adjoining
room while = son Robert, Jr., q,
and cousin, Thomas Lang, were in
the room Immediately over the
porch. They were all thrown out
Of their beds, but suffered only
minor bruises.
!. Windows in houses for two blocks
away were shattered.
Elliott was appointed executioner
for New York early in 1926. At
the time he was executioner for
Massachusetts,, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania and since has been
appointed to the same post by Della
ware. He is 54 years old.
A quiet, gray haired man, he new.
er seemed affected by his death
dealing job until the execution of
Mrs. Ruth Snyder, the first woman
on whom he had pulled the switch.
He suffered q nervous breakdown
after the Snyder Gray execution at
Sing Sing prison in New York and
was under the care of a physician
for several weeks. He has always
avoided publicity and little is known
Of his past life.
Elliott has put to death more than
100 persons. He received 5000 for
one days work in January, 1917, for
executing three persons.
Is Undisturbed
When the police reserves rushed
to his damaged house today they
found Elliott in the kitchen, calmly
discussing the bombing with his
wife.
"Are you going to stay here for
the rest Of the night?" police
captain asked him. "Do you want
to be escorted anywhere :"
mo-" was the reply. "Our room
and bed seem to be all right. Well
stay here for the rest of the night"
