DARROW-FESS
IN WET-DRY
BATTLE

Two men, who perhaps are as
far apart in their beliefs as any
two men in the country will meet
next Wednesday night, June 5, in
the Washington Auditorium for a
battle of wits that should make
history.
Clarence Darrow-radical, hu-
manitarian, bluff, hearty. and easy
going-wilt meet Senator Simeon
D. Fess of Ohio, q party regular,
a scholastic leader, quiet, calm
and cautious, in debate on pro-
hibition and law enforcement.
During the rise of their respec.
tive prominent positions both men
have almost paralleled each other
in opposites. Darrow has dared
to assault the bulwarks which
Fess has striven to build up.
While Fess heaps speeches and
flowery utterances on the Vol
stead law, Darrow has vigorously
fought it.
Fess will argue his points from
the standpoint of legislator who
remains mistaken in his fight
against modification of the Eigh.
teenth Amendment.
Darrow in this excerpt from an
earlier speech shows his attitude:
''The Volstead law is to blame
for all the killings, all the bad
liquor and all the menace to hu.
man liberties today"
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, Of
the Methodist Episcopal board
for prohibition, temperance and
public morals, will preside.

Johnson was married 22 years ago and leav- es a widow and two daughters Former Nome friends of his ex- tend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family
 John came to Nome during the early days of the camp and was employed by the Pioneer Mining Company. In the fall of 1904 with Capt. Nels Peterson and Chas. Anderson. they secured a lease on the Portland Bench claim on Little Creek which was owned by the Pioneer Mining Co. Late that winter they struck the pay and they all came outside with about SS0.o00 each. Anderson and Johnson located in Seattle and made real estate investments which afterwards proved disas- trous as they were made in the wrong localities. Johnson also lost considerable money in the mines in Nevada. During the past ten years Johnson has been enga ged in the building contract ing business in Seattle. Ohas An derson died many years ago from tuberculosis and prior to his death he was gagged in the painting business in Seattle. Capt Peter. son was also in the mining busi- ness in Nevada and was last heard from in Long Beach, Calif- ornia.

MANY NATIONS BK PRESENT

 NAVAL CONFERENCE
LONDON, Sept. If, tP)-


 So successful has been the ne gouiat tions between London and the United States since the incep- tion of the Hoover and McDon- aid regimes that the naval confer ence which is scheduled for some time in December, will be attend ed by Japan, France. and Italy, as well as England. It is already know that the U. s. intends to ask that the present ten year holiday of construction of ships be extended from 1881 to 1886. as then it may be possible to open further negotiations for a great CT curtailment of tonnage. With the progress already accomplished by Hoover and Mcdonald, toward a lessening of naval strength throughout the world. it can be reasonably sure that an even great CT amount of good will be done when the delegates from the var ious countries meet at Washing ton early in December of this year.
