EXHIBIT FROM LOCAL SCHOOL
 SENT SPOKANE
Will Represent Juneau h. stitution at Inland Elm
 pire Teachers Assn.

In response 10 a request from the Inland Empire Teachers As sociation, the Juneau Public School has forwarded to the North Central High School in Spokane an art exhibit from the local schools, it was announced today by Supt. W. K Keller.
 This is ill accord with the policy of the Inland Empire Association to have all sections of the North west represented at their meet ings, either in person or by school work, said MT. Keller The meeting of school officials and teachers from the Northwest states, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Ore gon and Washington, is scheduled to be held in Spokane on April 4. , and 6.
 Alaska wa represented last year when I attended" MT. Keller said, "and will be represented this year by our exhibit of art work. The exhibit material forwarded to Spokane consists of selected draw ings representing all the grades and the high school in Juneau.
 Incidentally this exhibit marks the recognition of the Juneau school as a member in this As sOciation. Last year Juneau was voted into membership in the Northwest Association of Secon. dary and Higher schools, which automatically admits graduates of the Juneau High School to any state college or university and to all other colleges and universities which are members of this asso- citation, without examination"

BERLIN, March 17-When clock strikes as high as 13, it is ordinarily assumed that there is something wrong with It.
 This is no longer so in Freien- walde, Brandenburg. The clock in the tower of St. Georges Church there not only has been equipped with dial running up to 24, but the striking mechanism has been alterated so that the clock strikes up to 24-twenty- four times at midnight.
 The 24-hour system was intro duced for the German railways and postoffice, but Freienwalde is the first place to accept all the consequences of it.

President Believes
Warship Bill Is Step
in Right Direction

Washington, February 25.-(AP)
President Coolidge is Of the opin.
ion that the bill approved by the
house naval committee for Is neN
warships does not meet what thu
navy considers its needs, but he looks
upon the measure as q start in thu
right direction.
The bill, given unanimous commit
tee action, calls for Is cruisers and
one airplane carrier, as against !
total Of II ships recommended By
Secretary Wilbur. It is the presi.
dents view, however, that very likels
no more than 16 ships could be begun
during the next five years, and il
that time arrangements could b
made for the additional craft II still
desired.
One feature Of the bill, prescribing
. time limit for completing con
struction, does not meet the pref,
dents approval, but he undsrsta111

mittee in its pursuit Of Liberty bond
profits Of the Continental Trading
Company Of Canada.
Lapping over into new territory
the committee called officials Of the
New York branch Of the Dominion
Bank of Canada to determine wheth-
cr that branch acted as American
agent for the Continental company
and thereby became liable for an
income tax upon the concerns
$3,O80.O00 profits. Those profits
came from sale Of oil purchased in
this country and the committee for
weeks has been trying to disclose
any connection between that deal
and Harry +. Sinclair's new lease of
Teapot Dome. which has brought
him into court on a charge Of con-
spiracy to dcfraud the government.
The Branch Bank officials were
summoned to give also the names
Of brokers through whom the bank
bought $l,250,000 in Liberty bonds.
Thus far the committee has not
been able to discover whether the
serial numbers of those bonds cor
respond with those Of the Continen.

Others to Be Summoned
Later the committee will call Of
ficials Of the Western Oil fields
corporation of Denver, which is un-
derstood to have sold oil to the Cam
adian corporation at the time the
latter was buying oil from the Texas
fields OF the estate of the late A.
=. Humphreys. and resclling it to
the Sinclair Crude Purchasing com.
pany and others. Chairman Nye Of
the committee said the Westerns
officials would be asked to say how
much oil it sold to the Continental
so that the committee can figure
out profits made on that deal. He
believes the Continental could not
have made all Of its $3,OSO,O0O out
OF the Humphreys oil at 25 cents q
barrel profit. On that basis alone
the profit. would be about $1,000
900.
In the meantime Chairman Nye
is drafting a resolution by which
tho senate would authorize its Ser
geant at Arms to rearrest Robert
W. Stewart, Indiana Standard Oil
official, who refused to answer GER

the next session of congress in event
the courts should finally turn him

MISS BRADFORD
MAY BE WITNESS
FOR BOTH SIDES
Reed, Now on Trial, Claims He
Loves Girl and Wants to
Marry Her

Ottawa, ILL.,, Feb. 25.-(AP)-
Miss lola Bradford stood forth today
as the possible key witness for both
the prosecution and the defense in
Hiram Reeds trial for bombing the
schoolhouse where she taught.
States Attorney Russell 0. Han
son, who intends to climax his case
with Miss Bradford's testimony, said
he thus hopes to prove that Reed
sought to kill the girl to avoid mar
riage and fatherhood. Miss Brad
ford was injured. severely in the
blast November 20 last.
Reed and his lawyer, George
Springer Of Peoria, were prepared
to ask Miss Bradford if she still
loves the young farmer.
Sitting only . few feet from the
man she once loved, the school
teacher has ignored Reed.
u love her and want to marry her
but her mind is poisoned against
me-" Reed has declared.
Yesterday States Attorney Han.
son drew from Theodore Paris, friend
Of the Bradford family, the first
testimony indicating that dynamite
caused the explosion. The defense
will seek to show that this explosive
was not responsible for the blast,
and that Reed is the victim Of .
sframeup."
Paris told Of seeing Miss Bradford
stagger along the road near the
schoolhouse, of carrying her home.
and Of later investigating the ex.
plosion. He said his experience ia
explosives used IN quarrying rock
for his father convinced him the odor
following the blast was that ot
dynamite.
William Lea, another farmer liv-
ing uear the school, gave virtually
the same toatimony.
Tsn pupils Of the school also
testified, giving graphic descriptions
Of the blast.

WILL
COMPROMISE ON
FLOOD CONTROL
Does Not Want Federal Pay
ment Of Total Bill to Set
Precedent

Washington. Feb. 25.-(AP)-
With Secretary Hoover clinging to
the principle that communities should
contribute to payment for flood con-
troll works. President Coolidge, who
has held the same view. is willing
now to compromise with congress
so far as the Mississippi valley Is
concerned, If the legislators insist
upon complete federal payment.
No long after Mr.. Hoover gave
his views to q senate committee,
declaring that at least . portion Of
the cost should be borne by the
states affected, it was learned that
the president is ready to agree "a
federal footing Of tho bill only Il
that is applied to the Mississippi
area flooded last year. He holds.
moreover, that congress should first
determine how and to what extent
it will provide control works for the
valley and then decide upon the
financial end Of it.
Mr.. Coolidge believes that forma-
ton OF = commission which he re-
Gently suggested would be helpful
in q study Of the economic conditions
Of the valley and that the commits.
sion's findings would assist congress
in placing the burden Of the cost.
Hoover Favors Commission
Testifying before the senate COM
mittee, Secretary Hoover, who made
several trips to the Mississippi flood
area, urged consideration Of the
presidents suggestion for creation
Of commission, He supported the
administrAtion's flood control plan
for floodway. spillway and levee
strengthening but declined to say
what portion Of the cost should Be
paid BY local communities.
As President Coolidge sees It,
congress is putting the cart before
