 Bishop East was born in Den mark 60 years ago. and became a Methodist pastor to Vejle when he was 23.
 In 1910 he went to the Jerusa- lem church in Copenhagen, one of the most important Methodist posts in Europe. He launched Central Mission as part of the church's work, and later started a paper, "The Lighthouse, as all organ for the mission
 Finances of this publication led to his Imprisonment for three months in 1926. It was his con tention that the enterprise did not make a profit, whereas the civil court found that the newspaper made a profit of $47,684 in ten years, and found him guilty of misappropriating a large part of that sum.

 KANSAS CITY. April 23-For the first time in history. bishop will be tried by a tribunal of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 When the quadrennial general conference, the law.making body of the church, meets here in May it will select a court of IT minis ters to sit in judgment on Bishop Anton Bast of Copenhagen, who already has served a prison sen. tence following conviction in the courts of Denmark for misappro- priating charity funds.
 Bast, now under suspension from his office, has protested his innocence of misusing money en- trusted to him, and an investi. gating committee headed by Bish- op Thomas Nicholson of Detroit has refused to sustain the charges But the committee brought about his temporary suspension for Jim. prudent and unministerial con duct"
 At the civil trial in Denmark, there was testimony concerning his relations with Mrs. Ellen Ve. del, the wife of a government of ficial, and about yacht owned by him and Mrs. Vedel and also about his personal expenditures totaling s2OO,oO0 in II years.
 While the Investigating com mittee voted against sustaining the charges involving money. il referred these charges, along with the one of "imprudent and unmin- isterial conduct" to the general conference.
 The court, presided over by bishop, will hold secret sessions. It's findings will be final, but sub ject to review by the conference itself. Thus dissenting opinion by one or more members of the tribunal may result in the airing of the case before the gathering of 800 delegates and thousands of visitors from 35 countries.

GOVERNOR TALKS ON FOREST WEEK AT HIGH SCHOOL
Object and Need for Ob. servance Furnish Sub-
 ject of Speech

A brief history of Forest Week it's purposes. obiectiyes, and tht plans that have been made for al taining these objectives. were the topics emphasized in Gov. George A Parks address to the Juneat school children today at ont o'clock when he initiated the 10 cal observance of Forest Week April 22-2S, which is sponsored by the Afford John Bradford Post ol the American Legion.
 Need for Conservation
 Gov. Parks said in part: "Wher the first settlers arrived in Amer ica they found dense forests or every hand and one of their first problems involved the removal O the timber so that the soil could be cultivated. The forests fur nished fuel, wild game, and tim Der for their homes, but on the other hand they gave shelter tC the Indians and made travel ano Transportation exceedingly diff cult and dangerous.
 Less than fifty years ago most of the people of the United States considered that our forests were so extensive that they could not be exhausted.
 Few Public Spirited Men
 Fortunately a few public spirit ed men devoted their efforts to g study of the question and after patiently Investigating the matter for several years they became convinced that unless adequate protective measures were adopted our country would soon be de prived of one of it's greatest ma tural resources. They realized that they must educate the people to the necessity of conserving the timber.
 originatlon, Growth of Week
 "As a part of this plan of edu- cation, American Forest Week was inaugurated in the Pacific Coast States in 1920. During the succeeding years nearly every state and territory participated in the observance and since that time the President and Governors of every state have issued procla nations setting forth the reasons why we should preserve and pro tect our forests.
 May Seem Useless
 "To you who live in Alaska where most of our forests are un. touched, this may seem almost useless. but we are to see the de yelopment of an industry which win use vast quantities of timber for the manufacturing of paper and we must give careful consid eration to the perpetuation Of the forests if We wish to maintain this industry.
 Damaqe Caused by Slides
 "Here in Juneau you may see the damage that has been caused by slides that have occurred on the hillsides where the timber has been removed. Nature has pro yided the forests as a protection for the soil and where we destroy this protection We must replace if or suffer for our negligence.
 How You Can Help
 "Perhaps the greatest menace tt our forests is fire. Again 1t is difficult for you to appreciate thls because it seems to be almost i'm possible to start fire in the coastal forests of this country but when logging operations be

TO HAVE COAL
 ON MARKET IN
 NEXT 30 DAYS
Development of Admiralty Island Coal Co. Proper
 ty Exceeding Hopes

That the Admiralty Island Coal Company will have coal on the market in Juneau within thirty days is the word that Robert B. Donaldson, President and General Manager of the company, sent to Juneau by Howard II. Lerch, it's Secretary and Treasurer. who ar rived in Juneau on the Argo at 4:30 o'clock this morning. The marketable coal within the next thirty days will be limited in quantity and will come from the development work. MT. Donald son said the stope is practically pumped out and the coal is seven feet in thickness.
 Camp Established
 The camp at the coal mine has been established. said MT. Lerch and ready to receive the develop ment crew that will be taken out on the return trip of the Argo
 In addition to the seven-foot vein of coal that is in the stope, Mr. Donaldson wrote there are many other promising outerop- pings on the property of the com pany.
 Evan Jones, WHO has record as a coal mine operator and sup erintendent in Alaska extending over period of eleven years, and the reputation of being second to none in his profession in Alaska, and who will be Superintendent and in full charge of operations, will leave here Wednesday on the Argo. With him will go D. E. Roberts and several other men. This will give the new company a developing crew of ten men to start with, and in the development work coal will be taken out and placed on the market.
 To Bring in Coal
 'I expect to bring several tons of coal to Juneau on the next trip of the Argo in week or ten days" said Mr. Lerch today.
 The coal in the Admiralty Island Coal Company's property lies on layer of fire clay, ac- cording to MT. Donaldson and MT. Lerch. and MT. Jones says that makes a fine condition for mining.
 MT. Lerch says the timber in the mine, installed 26 years ago. was discovered to be in perfect condition when the stope was pumped Apparently it has been preserved by the water and other covering. Ii
 Are Enthusiastic MT. Lerch and MT. Jones are enthusiastic over the outlook for the property, and believe without any question they will have a real coal mine operating within shore time. The outlook and the progress or development IS exceeding the hopes of the com pany's management.
 Mr Lerch said they left the property on Admiralty Island yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock and arrived in Juneau 13 3R hours later. burning only 90 gai- Ions of fuel, increasing confidence in the Argo.

 gin and the larger trees are cut there will be grave danger. be cause the woods will dry quick, and a match. lighted cigarette. or camp fire. may start a blaze that will destroy large areas of timber Each one of you may perform a real service by being careful not to leave your camp fire until il is out. and call it to the atten- lion of others.
 Take 80 Years to Grow
 Tn Alaska it requires about Sn years for our trees 10 reach ma turity and once started forest fire will destroy these trees in a few minutes. It requires about 20 years to restore the grazing lands for the reindeer after the range has been destroyed by fire.
 Use of Alaska Forests
 Some of our forests are worth less because the trees are too small. This is true so far as their value for lumber is concerned, but they are essential 10 the exist enee of our fur bearing animals and as a source of fuel in the northern attitudes. In fact. with out the forests the interior of Alaska would be a barren wilder ness.
 Plans for Observance
 This year an effort has been made to arrange for the observ- anee of this week in all of the schools in Alaska. In each town outside of Southeastern Alaska, a local chairman has been appoint d to arrange programs and as- sist in keeping the matter before the people in his district. The United States Forest Service has supplied these local committees with data for the speakers and material for the newspapers.
 Southeastern Alaska
 III toDulhtdSLti AidShds lut American Legion has assumed re- 3ponsibility for conducting appro- priate exercises and each post has appointed committee. AL ford John Bradford Post in Ju- neau appointed MT. Raven, Vim Goddard and Harry Sperling. They have been working on the matter for some time and I am sure you will enjoy the programs which have been arranged
 Because of the difficulty of reaching the more isolated com munities, and because the com mittee believes that it is very es- sential to have the young men and women of the Territory thor oughly informed regarding the extent of our forests, their poten- tial value, the possibilities of their development and the urgent necessity for their protection, it decided to request the school authorities to devote one period each week during the school year to the study of some phase of the problems involved in the pro- lection of forests, grazing lands, and wild life.
 Lessons for School
 ''The Forest Service, U. s. Bureau of Education, Territorial Commissioner of Education, and Biological Survey have prepared series of lessons for use in the schools. Next year we plan to offer two gold medals in each Judicial Division of the Territory for the best essays on the sub jects covered by these lessons"
