ON
 CAPITOL SITE
 TO BE RESUMED
Revised Plans for Founda- ton Received Pour
 Concrete Shortly

Excavating on the site of the Alaska capitol, suspended for several days, will be resumed at once, it was made known today by J. l. Marshall, Government construction engineer representing the Super vising Architect of the Treasury Department.
 Revised plans covering the foun- Gation were received yesterday. They call for additional excavation for the foundation averaging from three to eleven feet, MT Marshal said.
 This will entail the removal of between 1000 and 1900 more yards of earth. This will be done by hand, largely, and will take the eX- cavation down to the gravel strata. In addition to this yardage, there are about 1000 yards of dirt yet to be removed by machine.
 If weather conditions are not pro- hibitive, the contractors will begin pouring concrete in about one week, MT. Marshall said. The concrete shell for the building should be en- tirely completed by March 1, next year, he added.

NEW PROPHET
 UNDER WATCH

BEIRUT, Nov. 18.-A new self styled Messiah who is said to have 50,0O0 Turkish adherents is being watched by Syrian police.
 The new prophet, whose name is Sheikh Ahmed, has left trail through Turkish Turkestan and Syria, and has persuaded thou sands to cross the border into Syria to consult with him, listen to his preachings and give offer ings of goats, sheep and other valuables.
 The police don't like the migra- ton and are seeking to stop it.. They claim that Sheikh Ahmed has many agents in Turkey who preach his power and induce people to visit him.
 One of the stories told of his prowess is of an occasion when he ordered his servants to cook enough rice for twenty-five people. After 1900 had eaten their fill, there was still rice left over.

OLD CHIEF OF SITKANS GIVEN
 SIGNAL HONOR
Mountain on Baranof Island Is Named for Annahootz
 by Federal Board

In honor of Annahootz, famous Sitka Indian chief of early Ameri- can-Alaska days, noted for his friendliness to the whites, noun tain on Baranof Island has been named Annahootz by the United States Geographical Board, accord ing to word received by district headquarters here of the United States Forest Service.
 The mountain, 4,700 feet high, is located about two and one-half miles from the beach at Nakwasina Narrows on the west coast of Bar anof Island, and is north of Katlian Mountain, named after rival chieftain at one time an enemy of the whites but who later became friendly.
 Annahootz ruled over the Sitkans for many years and served for a long time as Indian policeman at Sitka. He died prior to 1900, ac- cording to Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, curator of the Alaska Museum and authority on Alaska history.
 The Geographic Board, announc- ing the naming of the mountain, said it was named Annahootz on the recommendation of the United States Forest Service, in honor of the chief who with his tribe pro- tected the white population from the natives under Katlian, a rival chief. He always enjoyed the re- spect and confidence of the city and Navy administrations and was many times rewarded for his friend ly acts"

WASHINGTON CLUB
PLANNING CHANGES

Steps to be taken by the Washington
Golf and Country Club toward moving
the caddy house and professionals
shop from its present location have been
laid before the club board of governors
by a special committee appointed to
study the problem.
The matter arises in connection with
opening of a subdivision Immediately
north of the club property, within a
chip shot of the first fairway.
A real estate concern which operates
in Virginia already has put up house
only few feet from the professionals
shop and caddy house, and the proposal
before the board calls for removal of
the shop to a proposed addition to the
clubhouse, as we'll as purchase of about
$4,000 square feet of land running along
No. fairWay.
For many years the Washington Golf
and Country Club, even though 1t is
one of the nearest of the country clubs
to downtown Washington, preserved its
suburban isolation. Little construction
work was done for decade on ground
AUDITING on club property. But late
last year Sub-dividing operations were
started on ground along the first fair
way, running from the county road
which leads to the club we'll down into
the woods which parallel the second
fairway.
It is feared that if the property along
| the first fairway is built upon with
houses running close to the line, damage
may result from golf balls hit over the
fence into what is now a vacant field
! A proposal is now before the club to
purchase strip of this land paralleling
the fairway.

SIX CUE MASTERS
IN TITLE TOURNEY
Horemans, Champion, Plays
in Opening Round of 1872
Event Tonight.
BY the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, February 4.-With six
masters of the cue in the field, the
worlds championship 1872 balkline bill
lizards tournament opens at the Level
Club tonight.
To Eduard Horemans, the present
title holder, falls the honor of opening
the tournament The slender Belgian
meets Kinney MatSuyama, little Japa-
nese holder of the worlds junior cham
pionShip, in the first of the is 4OO-point
matches at $50 tonight. Tomorrow
afternoon Welker Cochran, one of two
American hopes, will play Eric Hagen
lacher, German champion. In the eve
ming Jake Schafer, son of the old
wizard, will meet Felix Grange of
France. Play will continue every after
noon and evening except Sunday with
the wind-up week from tomorrow
night.
For the first time in many years
Willie Hoppe, long monarch of the balk-
line game, will not be a contestant. He
finished sixth in field of seven in the
last tournament at Washington in 1927,
and now devotes himself almost exclu-
S1vely to three-cushion billiards.
With half-dozen masters of the
game In the field there can be no out
standing favorite. Experts, however, are
disposed to eliminate Matsuyama and
Grange from title consideration, The
other four are rated with about equal
chances Of capturing the coveted crown
which will carry with 1t cash award of
approximately $4,000. The runner-u
Will receive about $1,000. and awards
are to be made proportionately to the
other contestants.

n n IAMI BEACH. Fla, February
nH 4.-The dopsters we're in hard
VA training today for the Sharkey-
1 4 Stribling fight, February 81,
although the principals in the
battle of Miami Beach gave no indica-
tiCnS of being overburdened with worry.
While Young Stribling, pride of Ma
con, Ga, and Jack Sharkey, erstwhile
Boston COB, sought the surf and the
golf courses in Indifferent attempts at
conditioning, the goggle-eyed groups
which have watched the boxers every
swim and maShie stroke since their
arrival here, last week, began their
serious work of advance exporting.
So far, the weather has led other
topics in early speculation. 1t has been
argued loudly that Sharkey, fresh from
the cold North, will be handicapped
by the balny breezes, while the Georg-
ian is conceded the advantage Of know
ing his weather
Now that he has finished the signing
of contracts, even down to the peanut
concession, and has seen the stadium
begin to grow. Promoter Jack Dempsey
also apparently has cast aside care and
has been engaged in counting ticket
receipts.
Both Sharkey and Stribling believe
their recent fights have put them In
shape for the bout, and intend to en-
gage only in light work.
