 Mr Grigsby declared that his position and that of Sutherland were diametrically opposed to each other. He said that unlike Suther- land, he is strongly opposed to the present system of regulating the of Alaska, and he pledg ed himself, if elected, to work un ceasingly and aggressively for the transfer of the control of the fish cries of Alaska from the Federal Government to the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska. In other words, he wanted the audience to know, that he stands squarely on the Democratic platform of home rule for Alaska.

ELECTION WILL SEND NEW FACES TO SENATE
 FOR NEXT CONGRESS
By JAMES L. WEST {Chief, A. p. Senate Staff

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Whieh- ever way the political pendulum swings in November there will be number of changes in the Senate of the next Congress, the Seventy First.
 One party or the other is des- tined to lose it's floor leader, as both Charles Curtis. Republican. and Joseph T. Robinson, Democrat. are candidates for the Vice Presi- dency. So one must pass from active participation in legislative events on the floor to the no.a or less ina.ticulate role of presiding officer.
 Each is well qualified by a knowledge of the rules and ex- peIience in the chair for the job he seeks, but the mantle of si- fence probably would fl more snugly upon the shoulders of the phlegmaac Kansan than it would upon those of the fiery Arkansan, who dearly loves a scrap and who has demonstrated in many rough and tumble debate that he can take care of himself n any arsu- ment.

LAKE BLUFF, Ill., Oct. 31.- Self-torture by fire to prove her faith in spirit love- is advanced to explain the strange case of Miss Effrieda Knaka, aged 90 years, Sunday School teacher and book agent.
 It was a wierd uncanny ex- planation, full of holes. wide open to the practical minded police skeptieism but it came from the lips Of Miss Knaak herself. lying near death from burns mys- teriously inflicted in the base ment of the Lake Bluff Police Station last Monday night.
 Physicians were unconvinced until she told her story and now are even doubtful.
 Doctors Astonishment
 Dr. A. J. Risinger said: "To believe her story, you would have 10 believe these facts:
 That she first placed one foot, then the other, in the furnace and kept them there for some little time
 That she then thrust her arms into the furnace and held them there under what certainly must have been terrific pain

" Aotf l4NGION, Oct. o1.-Rab- ert Lansing. Secretary of esate under President Woodrow Wilson, died at his home here at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 Robert Lansing, Secretary of State, in President Wilson's cabi- net from June 2S, 1915 to F1bru- ary 1S, 1920, held that office dur ing one of the most stormy and trying periods of American history
 Appointed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Sec retary William Jennings Bryan, he was confronted in turn. during his tenure of office, with the diff ficult problems arising from the position of the United States as neutral power during the World War, the diplomatic activities of A belligerant nation, and the re- responsibilities of ranking member. after President Wilson himself. of the American Commission to negotiate peace at Paris.
 Dramatic End
 The end Of MT. Lansing's term came dramatically in February. 1920, when President Wilson de- manded his resignation on the ground that MT. Lansing had usurped the Presidential authority by calling cabinet meetings during MT. Wilson's illness. The ex- change of letters between MT. Will son and MT. Lansing disclosed that .or many months the President and his Secretary of State had not been in accord on foreign policies | md that the President demanded someone whose mind", as the | President wrote, would more will | ingly go along with mine." Ii vas recalled that the divergence 'f opinion had become pronounced turing the Peace Conference in ee' -s@. III tOotillOHl OtlOTe me | Senate Foreign Relations Commit ee, William c. Bullitt, an attache 'f the State Department who head I'd a mission to Soviet Russia dur ng the conference, declared that dr. Lansing told him in Paris he lid not agree with President Will on in putting the covenant of the league of Nations and the Peace 'reaty into one document. MT. 4ansings predicted, Bullitt read rom his diary, that the treaty 1ould fail if the American people yer learned of it's full import.

DAWES AT LAST MOMENT

When you travel throughout the country" writes B. c. Forbes, in Forbes Magazine (N. YD, you hear more about politics than you do in New York. The Middle West, Far West. South all are daily discussing coming possibilities. It is gener- ally taken for granted that the Democrats will nominate Governor Smith. But even inside his own Party doubts are expressed regard ing his chances of election. Chief interest centers in Republican ma neuvering, It is almost everywhere admitted that Secretary Hoover is far in the lead. But-and this is the piquant gossip-the scheme now brewing is this:

At the right moment when the stage has been properly set. Lowden will throw his strength over to Dawes and tremendous demonstration will be let loose to carry Dawes to victory.
