the solar corona. Scientists know that the luminosity of the corona varies; that it is lighter toward the center, immediately next to the sun than on the outer fringe. But hith- erto no exact measurements have been taken of the varying luminos- ity of the corona. By making such measurements the Kiel party hopes to add to the data concerning the composition of the corona.
 Sun and Corona
 This same group will also attempt to establish the relationship be- tween the color of the sun and that of the corona. Observations made in 1923 in Mexico by Prof. H. Lud- endorff. brother of the famous general of the world war, establish ed that the continuous spectrum of the corona matches exactly the spectrum of the sun. Professor Ros- enberg will attempt Stlu further to establish this point.
 The third group, headed by Dr. Baade of the Hamburg Observa- tory and the optician, B. Schmidt, started for the Isle of Cebu, in the Philippines, to continue a program executed by the Hamburg Observa- tory in a number of eclipses: by photographing the corona under different conditions it's appearane at a given moment can be studied By comparing the photographs talk en at different times it will be pos sible to determine the relationship between certain pecularities of the corona and the other phenomena of the sun.

JOE SNOW RETURNS
 TO JUNEAU TO STAY

After an absence of one year, spent largely in Yakima and &c., attle, Joe A. Snow, pioneer resident of Juneau, returned here yesterday. T am home to stay, this time" he declared.
 Conditions in the Pacific North west are not any too prosperous despite it's growth, increased build ing, etc., MT. Snow said. Chain stores are replacing the local mer- chant not only in the small towns but in the larger cities, but the cost of living is not decreasing, rather the reverse. Employment is not any too plentiful and wages nave lowered some in certain lines of activity.
 Alaska looks good to me, and Juneau best of all. am back here to stay. No more of the Out side for me-" MT. Snow said.

 The Council was in session more than three hours last night, dis cussing civic improvements gener- ally and transacting other business.
 The Chamber of Commerce, through its President, H. L. Faulk- ner, extended to the Council an of- fer to assist it in arriving at some solution to the small boat float problem. MT.

Judson has signified his intention of appointing a special committee and the Chamber will cooperate with it in securing a new float location.

Coun- cilman George said he had been informed by Attorney General Rust gard that this was permitted by Territorial statute. A petition will be circulated among the property owners on lower Front Street rela- tive to paving the street there, and if the legal number of signatures can be obtained, this work will be undertaken by the City. Such a petition was being prepared today.
 Bids for painting City Hall build ing and shingling it, and painting the City Wharf building will be called for by the Council immedi- ately. A new, low-pressure oil burning furnace will be installed to heat that building. Rice & Ahlers were awarded the job on tender of s740.

The Council accepted an offer of the company to turn back the building to the munich pality not later than October of this year. The remaining nine year portion of the lease will be cancelled. The company will pay a s2OO annual rental for 1928 and a proportionate sum for that portion of this year, during which it holds the property.
 The office portion of the building will be turned over to the city at once. Wharfinger J. M. Davis will move his headquarters to this room and the present office rooms of the City Wharf will be torn down planked over and made available for parking space The other part of the old cold storage plant will be used by the City for a warm storage in connection with the mu- nicipal wharf.

 With the upward trend of stock prices over the last six years, most of the investment trusts have been able to show large earnings. A few have shown rather sensational re- suits, the Goldman Sachs Trading corporation, organized by the part ners of that international banking firm, doubling in price within a few months after the stock was of fered.
 Financial and Industrial Securi- ties corporation, organized by the Jonas interests and later merged with Goldman Sachs Trading cor poration, also has shown remark able appreciation in quoted value.
 Bankers and economists say the real test of investment trusts will take place in a declining securities market.

L0UGHRAN AGAIN
DEFEATS Emanuel
Light Heavyweight Champion
Has Edge in Experience

Los Angeles, Feb. Up - Tommy
Loughran, light heavyweight cham
pion and aspirant to the heavy
weight title. scored his second vic
tory over Armand Emanuel last
night ard whatever hopes the Tight
ing law student may have held TO
occupy the throne vacated by Gene
Tunney again faded.
Emanuel, however. looked good In
defeat As in their first battle IN
New York several months ago. the
decision was given 10 Loughran over
the protest of many of the fans.
Those at the ringside, however. were
unanimous in backing up the ver-
dict of Referee Abe Ross.
Loughran's greater experience
counted in the long run. They fought
at q gait at which only men with
the speed and skill that Loughran
and Emanuel possess can stand.
Upset in the seventh by hard
left hook on the point OF the jaw,
and on the short end in the eighth.
Loughran staged furious finish in
lho t"o ToUuuoh
Climaxing a round that to all ap-
pearanc,s was his. Emanuel hooked
a left to Loughran's jaw in the sew
enth that sent the champion to the
mat. Loughran was up without a
count, however. and there was fur
ious mixup at the bell. The Eman-
uel left, missing fire through most
OF the early sessions. was in constant
action in the eighth, landing to
Loughrar's head and body with suf-
ficient regularity to give him the
round. Loughran's pace in the ninth
was terrific and he gained a wide
margin with a vicious attack of left
and right hands to head and body.
He carried the same pace into the
tenth, outscoring the westerner at
every turn.
Loughran entered the fight with a
slight weight advantage. scaling

Three tied FOR
BILLIARD Lead
Two Americans and I Japanese
in Deadlock in Tourney

New York. Feb. 6 R-The first
complete turn of the wheel in the
round robin tournament for the
worlds 1872 balkline billiard cham
pionship today found two Americans
and a Japanese tied for the lead.
Taking European opponents over
the hurdles with some difficulty In
yesterdays matches, Welkcr Coch-
ran of Hollywood and Young Jake
Schaefer of Chicago forced their
way into a triple deadlock with Kim
rey Matsuyama for the pace setting
position. Each has won one match
and lost none. Down in the cellar
are the three European stars
Edouard IIorcmans OF Belgium, the
defending champion: Felix Grange
of France and Eric Hagenlacher of
Germany.
Matsuyama started the debacle by
match of the tournament on Mon
~ night; 'ott,an had 4"i :S3
triumph over Hagenlacher yesterday
afternoon and Schaefer made 1t
unanimous by coming from behind
to whip Grange. 400 to sos, last
night.
Grange, ranked with Matsuyama
as dark horse" in the tourney
gave Young Jake a terrific struggle
all the way but could not match
Schaefer's brilliant playing In the
closing innings.
The Frenchman. running 11S In
his 18th inning. had his American
rival trailing 292 to 257, but Schae-
fer gathered fine cluster OF 1875 IN
his 18th inning and ran out the
match with an unfinished run OF
eight on his 18th turn at the table.
Although Cochran had nursed
along one string OF caroms until II
totallcd 1853 against Hagenlacher In
the afternoon, Schaefer's cluster OF
1875 represented the finest exhinitloh
of billiards the tournament has 20
far seen, The lean and dark Chi
cagoan had the balls under perfect
control rolling up many OF MS
points within an area that nat
could have covered.
All six contestants having appear
ed at the championship table,
glance over the records reveals that
Matsuyama has compiled the best
match average to date. He averaged
IS points per inning against Hore-
mans. Schaefer's average last night
was % Sit.
