DEARBORN, Mich, Oct 13.- Scenes that tell the past and fore tell the future will greet President Hoover when he comes to this city October q to participate in the ceremony memorializing achieve ments of Thomas A. Edison.
 The historical village that Henry Ford is creating on a 120-acre site already has assumed shape, and many of the buildings purchased in various parts of the country to form the community of yesterday" have been restored to their origi- nal condition and placed on foun- dations
 Just across the road, to furnish a sharp contrast, is the huge Ford airport, with it's large hangars and the tall mooring mast for dirigibles. Completing the modern note are the Ford engineering laboratories and the other buildings of the auto mobile plant, just around the cor ner" from the scenes of an almost forgotten past.
 As the day is to honor mainly Thomas A. Edison, no little inter- est will center in the actual labora- tories and offices used by MT. Edi- son in Menlo Park, N. J., and in Ft. Myers, Fla, which Ford has brought to Dearborn and recon structed in the most minute detail.
 It is here that Edison will repro duce his original experiment that brought the incandescent lamp to the world.
 There will be interest, too, in the Edison machine shops and per- haps less serious but none the less keen interest in the small railway station where legend has it Edison once was thrown off a train near Port Huron by an irate conductor after the future inventor had set fire to an empty baggage car in the course of some experiments with phosphorus
 The visit to the Ford home, Fair lane" will take President Hoover and MT Edison to another interest," ing section of the vast Ford estate. 'Fairlane" skirts a trunk line high. way, and tall trees permit view from the road of only the top of the motor magnate's home.

First Attempt Is Made by Testimony of Four Doc

SECOND MOVE IS
 ALONG NEW LINE
Contradictions and Denials Bob Up in Case
 Startling Rapidity

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 19- Contradictions and denials were flung in startling rapidity in Alex ander Pantages trial yesterday as the defense fought the states charges of perjury and a statutory offense.
 The first attempt of the defense to clear Pantages was completed with the last testimony from four medical experts.
 In the second move, the defense drew testimony from Jake Rosen- stein, publicity agent employee ot Pantages that he saw Miss Elnice Pringlc in Pantages' office "at least once a week and until late hours from May l to August IT.
 Crime, Not Frame-up
 Garland Biffle, law book sales man, was confronted with an affi- davit and testimony of Attorney L A. Mills, that he made g statement repudiating his own testimony. Eff fle dismissed the charge with q don't recall it. Later, under th5 States hammering, Biffle admitted most of Mills declarations but ex- plained it referred to the actua, crime and not to frame-up.
 Two doctors, bacteriologist ex- perts, testified to conclusions .anc opinions cited by Police Chemist .Teex .Weich. gwho appeared for ,the State, regarding germ specimcns of the two principals in the case
 No Criminal Offense
 Impossible and faulty" were the assertions and these were supple mentcd with testimony of two other doctors Thursday who said the eX- animation of Miss Pringle, fouI days after the alleged attack, re- vcaled no criminal offense and evil dencc.
 It is announced that the state had the affidavit of Mills and il will be used against Biffle if he pleads not guilty on October 28.
 The affidavit alleges Biffle talked with Mills in Stockton October 3 discussing the case. Mills said Biffle told him he had been sum- moned by the defense but did not understand why they wanted him Mills nu0ted him as saving: q don't know a thing about the case I was in the building at the time of the attack but did not see or hear anything"
 This is direct contradiction ot Biffle's testimony he heard Miss Pringle say Pantages would be sor- ry if he did not book her dancing act.

Thayer Fails to Stop Bears s Charge Time for Only
 One Hurried Shot

The Alaska brown bear added another victim to it's list Wednes- day when Jack Thayer, Junior For ester, United States Forest Serv- ice, died near Eliza Harbor, from wounds inflicted by an enormous bear. He was attacked about two and onc-half miles from the beach at 2 pm, and died at 10 o'clock that evening.
 Thayer was accompanied by his assistant Fred Herring. Only the former was armed He had a 3C3 caliber rifle in his hand and had time for but one shot, appar- cntly wounding the animal. Her. ring, unarmed, succeeded in climb ing a tree and escaped.
 Is Terribly MauIed
 Thayer and Herring were cruising pulp timber. They were emerg- ing from a muskeg swamp and as they approached thicket at it's edge, a big dark brown bear crashed through the brush not more than l5 or 20 feet distant. It was in a vicious mood and launched it's att tack.

 Herring, from his perch in the tree, could not see clearly what followed owing to the heavy brush that intervened However. he could hear the sounds of the bear growl ing and mauling and see the strAg- gle dimly. When the animal leit Thayer, Herring hurried to lis side.

 Thayer was still conscious when

His stomach was torn open, the flesh on the back of his legs was stripped off, and his back, hands and arms were pierced many times by the bears teeth which apparently had both mauled and chewed his vic- tim.
 Herring made Thayer as com fortable as possible. He then set off for the Weepoose. the camp tender in use. There he and Capt. C.. c. Collen, third member of the cruising party. loaded themselves with blankets, lantern, flour to close the gaping wounds, and other first aid dressings and hurried back to the scene of the attack.
 It was almost dark by the time they arrived and it was with some difficulty Thayer was located. He had regained consciousness and was able to talk little. But he was very weak from loss of blood and the beating he had received. A stretcher was made out of poles and

Woodmen of World Life Ensurance Association to Enter AIaska for
 Business; Juneau May Get Offices

OMAHA, Neb., Ccs. 1s-After a thorough survey of industrial and business conditions in Alaska, w. A. Fraser, President of the Wood men of the World Life Insurance Association, announces that the organization will open offices in Alaska within the near future. Offices will be opened at Juneau or Ketchikan for the development of the company's business, according to the announcement from the Home Office at Omaha, Nebraska. Other branches will be opened az the business progresses.
 The announcement follows MT Fraser's return from a recent trip to Alaska, at which time he made a thorough survey of the Alaskan business situation.
 Wonderful Opportunity In making public the contempiat- ed extension of the company's busi- ness, President Fraser said: T believe there is a wonderful opportunity for our organization in Alaska. I was greatly impress ed by the progressive spirit of the Alaskan people, the evidences of prosperity, and the promise for the future, disclosed by my recent investigations"
 The opening of Alaskan offices is another step in the phenomenal growth of the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Association. From small beginning the organi- zation has grown steadily until to- day it is the largest and strong est fraternal organization in exis- tence.
 The Woodmen of the World was organized June 4, 1890, with a membership of one hundred and thirty-five Today it's membership totals near a half a million.
 Vision of Future
 Undoubtedly the pioneers of the Woodmen of the World had an in- spring vision of the future of their organization, but probably none of them dreamed of the tremendous scope which the Society finally de- veloped. Today the Woodmen of the World is the strongest Frater- nal Organization in existence, re- gently being declared l04.6 per cent solvent, holding total invest ments in securities of over $9O,- 532 ,o0000. The Society, since it's organization, has paid in death losses and disability benefits more than O0OO,Ooo.0O.
 Two of the largest enterprises that have placed the Woodmep of the World in the fore ranks of pro- gressiye Fraternal Insurance So- cieties, and m de it nationally prominent are the War Memorial Hospital at San Antonio, Texas and the Radio Station WOW at the national Headquarters Building in Omaha.
 San Antonio Hospital
 The hospital is show place of San Antonio, and represents an investment of more than a million dollars. It consists of 210 acres of land completely equipped hos pital, nurses h Q e, supervisors building, barns and outhouses. It IS free sanatorium for tubercu- lar members of the Socitey and has 225 beds.
 Every cent of its operation and

enced employees of the company will come to Alaska in the near future to build the organization.
 Publicity For Alaska
 Alaska will receive wide publicity through the Sovereign Visitor" the large monthly magazine published by the Woodmen of the World. Through the development Of the fraternal organizations business in Mexico that country has been bene- fited to great extent. Through out it's history the organization has grown with the territories it served.
 Throughout the great success of the Woodmen of the World during the past fifteen years has radiated the personality, ability and integ- rity of President Fraser. MT. Fra
