tense Of his administration before

related that if resored to office. he
would accept the resignation Of
Robert Gillian. secretary of the
board of affairs.
Glllam's resignation, directed to
n suspended governor, was in
troduced as a defense exhibit.

the state a good deal more han
they were worth.
Besides Gillian, Johnston had
told the court of impeachment that
he would not realm the services of
II. E. Sullivan, his private secre-
tary; Mrs. O.. 0. Hammonds, who
resigned as his confidential secre-
tary after the governor was sus-

prosecution. denying blame for the
issuance Of a pardon to Dewey
Crosthwaite, while Crosthwaite
was a fugitive from the state pri-
son. Crosthwaite's pardon is the
basis Of one of the 10 impeach-
ment charges.
Johnston testified yesterday that
the pardon was granted solely on
Sullivan'S representations.
Mrs. Hammonds, the target of
concentrated fire from the prose-
cution, has claimed only a slight
share on the suspended governors
testimony.
She was introduced today. how
ever. as an opponent of Sam II.
Harris. fish and game commission
er. When Harris would come to
his office, Johnston said, he was
III that a quarrel was in store
and entertained himself by listen
ing in the door, while Mrs. Ham
monds and the fish and game
commissioner exchanged unpleas-
antries. He was not aware, john
ston said, that Harris would take
the matter so seriously as his tes-
timony for the prosecution had in
dictated.
Harris. had testified that his de-
partment suffered from Mrs. Ham
monds' domination.

LONDON, March c-P)-The an
XiouS maneuvering Tor invitations to
the spring court at Buckingham
palace is expected to become a
frantic stampede now that there is
a serious possibility the Prince Of
Wales will act for the king.
The large gilt cards bearing the
engraved message, The lord cham
berlain is commanded to invite you
to Buckingham palace" always
have exercised a meSmeric power
over the oebutantes of the world,
but this will be the first time that
his royal highness has been cast in
SO important a role.
Queen Mery's announcement that
the courts would be held caused
general rejoicing among the debu-
tantes expecting presentation by
their ambassadors. 1t was thought
for a time that King Georges i'll
ness end his possible absence from
London would cause a postpone
ment. Now the queen has declared
the prince will assist her if the king
is unable to be present.
The royal courts, which are held
IN buckingham palace eacn year,
are considered the most formal af-
fairs Of the British social world.
Young women are presented by
sponsors from the ranks of older
women who have been presented
in the past. Those from other coUn-
tries are escorted by their ambas-
sailors. Many more APPLICATIONS al
ways are filed with the embassies
than can be accommodated. but an
even larger number is expected this
year.

DALLAS, March 9.-(P-A tele-

Davidson, in the telegram, urged
the governor to veto the measure.

Mrs. L. A. Pigg Announces Opening of Business Soon
 Has Victor Agency

The opening of new business for Juneau, the Juneau Melody House, in the very near future, by Mrs. A. L. Pigg, wife of Dr. w. J. Pigg, was announced today by Mrs. Pigg. The business will be located in the Pigg Building on Front Street adjoining the Alaska Electric Light & Power Company.

 Henry Pigg left this morning for Seattle where he will be given prac- tical training in the technical de- partment of the Victor plant. Com pleting this, he will return here and take an active interest in the business, handling the service work and repair department.
 In addition to radio and radio combinations, the Melody House will carry in stock all of the Victor m dels of phonographs, needles, records, record albums and sheet music. Later it is expected to stock pianos and other musical in- struments. A new Victor portable photograph, enbodying a number of striking improvements will shortly be placed on the market, according to the Victor agent, and will be shown by the Melody House as soon as it. appears.
 Mrs. Pigg has just received new Model R-F 45 Victor Radio, and it is now on display at the family residence on Main Street, where the business is temporarily located. Anyone interested can see it there. A quantity of Victor late release records and several radio and radio combinations, will reach here Sat- urday.

OBSERVANCE OF ALASKA DAY IS
 QUIET LOCALLY
Stores Remain Open, but Offices and Schools Are
 Closed Here Today

Juneau today was observing, with other Alaskan communities, the Sixty-Second Anniversary of the formal transfer of the Territory from Russia to the United States, the ceremony of transfer taking place at Sitka, capital of Russian America, and for many years seat of the American territorial govern ment.
 While all of the stores remained open throughout the day, schools and public offices were closed either all or part of the day. Tonight the local Igloo of Pioneers will stage a public dance in Elks' Hall.
 The Territorial offices were closed throughout the day. The Federal court offices, including United States district judgs, District At torney, United States Marshal Clerk of Court and United States Commissioner, were also shut down all day. The Alaska Road Com mission observed the holiday. Many offices were closed during the af- ternoon, including the United States Forest Service, Bureau of Public Roads, Alaska Game Commission, and others.

Ship Over Railroad


 The Department is also endeavor- ing to work out a plan whereby deer may be brought to the Alaska Railroad for transportation to year round navigation, In this connec- ton Dr. Cooper, in recent report to Secretary Wilbur, said:
 "The problem is establishing market for it (reindeer meaD. A plan is being worked out that pro- vides for driving reindeer to re- gions adjacent to the Alaska Rail- road, their fattening and butcher ing to take place there. Certain areas are to be held exclusively as fattening pasturage. When fit, the animals will be butchered. The plan is to establish refrigerator plant at Seward. With this ac- complished, butchering can be done at any time; a ready market built up. Thus will new industry be developed in Alaska. It is esti- mated that reindeer carcass when this outlet is established, will be worth $1o. Since there are many Eskimos and Indians who have developed herds ranging from 1000 to 5000, it is obvious that these natives may become men of wealth"
 Owing to certain excessive costs in marketing, and lack of markets for hides, the present worth of the animal on the hoof in the herds is estimated at about $3 each.

Gentlemen No,u ForSake Blonde For SiIuer Cray
By RUTH JANE WILLIAMS

PARIS, Oct. 18.-The gentlemen who so recently preferred blondes are now throwing them over for gray-haired sweethearts.
 Silver threads among the gold are rapidly gaining favor and even spurious silver is being preferred to real gold
 A beauty specialist in hair and hair dressing is responsible for mak- ing public the news of this dyeing away of blondes and brunettes.
 Gray Wigs Vague
 He is M Edward Leonce, famous creator of false hair for theatrical and fashionable private use.
 For the first time the private users are becoming more radical in their choice of wigs, because of the new style of gray hair.
 For the past few weeks the smartest ladies have been demand ing gray hair" says this glider of the lily, to speak hirsutely.
 They wanted their own hair dyed, but I couldn't do that. So they are buying wigs"
 Beautiful glossy, black hair is now being covered with frivilous. curly ringlets. Grandmotherly dresses of iron gray are eclipsing sunshine -cclored bobs. And the men-i
 The worthy Leonce is overcome by the new demand made by the men. He can understand the frail sex going in for anything from negro wool to shaving curls, in the way of hair. But for his own brothers to get gray haired over night because of change in style is nothing less than capillary sensation.

 United States Commissioner T. c Price, who was a member of the Legislature when MT. Henderson was appointed, explained how he came to be appointed.
