she noticed a change had come over

nervousness.
Fist Fight
A fist fight occurred while at
torneyS were examining the first
witness, Miss Amanda Davidson OF
Taylor, those affidavit that she
believed Leahy insane won the de-
fendant a stay of execution and a
sanity trial.
Miss Davidson, an attractive
smartly dressed woman Of 80, teStl-
fled she had known Leahy for
eight or nine years and that his
acts since his conviction, as we'll as
his letters, had indicated his mind
was unbalanced.
H. N. Graves, Of the prosecution,
on cross examination asked Miss
Davidson whether she knew that
Leahy ! is married and yet received
L -ors ~ him and went on to
ask her who had told her what to
say from the stand. A carbon copy
was produced which Miss Davidson
identified as a transcript of what
she had told defense attorneys she
would testify.
E. B. Simmons Of San Antonio
then took the witness on redirect
examination and attempted to show
that the paper in question was a
transcript Of what she had told at
torneys she would testify and that
the woman declared that "she had
a right to tell the attorneys what
she would testify and to refute the
dirty insinGations made here"
Every attorney in the case was
on his feet instantly and Graves
advanced upon Simmons.
IF the court cannot control this
man." he said, Il can" and he
swung vigorously q. Simmons jaw.
In the melee that followed many
glancing blows were struck, but no
damage was done and Sheriff
Louis Lowe soon had order restored.

A P0LET TO MAKE TRIP
 TO THE STATES FIRST
 TIME NY YEARS

In referring to his proposed trip to the States, Mir. A. Polet one of Nome's leading business men, stat ed that this is his first visit in seventeen years, and when he steps aboard the all metal Hamilton cabin plane of the Wien Alaska fence in the air.
 The fact that Mir Polet's mother. who is over eighty years of age and in poor health, has written to him to come out on a visit not being able herself to make the trip. decided him to leave his affairs and make this trip to the States.
 In divulging his plans of the trip the editor discovered that the major items outlined were not for his business or his personal grati fication, but his enthusiasm for the welfare of thi7 section prompts him to look into and investigate all possibilities which can be adopt ed for the development of the in- dustries of this section.
 He voiced the sentiment that he hoped that his large clientele will maintain an interest toward the conudct of his emporium during his absence and by their continuous patronage they will show in some measure appreciation of his efforts and encourage him in his endeav- ors toward making Nome a better place to live in.
 To fully write the history of MT. Polet, the Little Giant" of Seward Peninsula, would be to write the history not only of Sew ard Peninsula's commerce but also of her intellectual activities, for Polet is always amongst the first in movements for the public good. an advanced thinker who for many years has brought to the attention of the different agencies new thoughts not alone for the develop ment of Seward Peninsula, but for Alaska as wholeI
 The father of economic move ments he has always been active in the development and perfection of the Chamber of Commerce as local institution, until 1t is now an organization representing the whole of Northwestern Alaska. His year ly reports as its secretary for 12 years as we'll as being one of its past presidents, has clarified the economic situation and whereas be- fore it was rather chaotic, there is now an ever broadening vision as the horizon of the commercial and mining activities continue to ex- pand. AS secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce he has directed constructive legislation that has and will continue to develop not alone our potential mineral wealth. but also the untouched fishing wealth of the Boring Sea.
 His optimistic vision based upon what were to him possibilities has inspired others with his confidence and the results of this attitude can be seen in the general activities of this section, and is exemplified not alone in his public life but in his ever increasing mercantile business.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 29.-Earl Sande, who twice won the Ken lucky Derby as a jockey is out to win the derby again this year-but this time as an owner.
 Sande, who punted zev down in front in 1923 and Flying Ebony in 1925, has nominated three thor oughbreds for this years classic and is busy getting them in shape for the race which will be run at Churchill Downs here May 18.

 If one of Sande's entries should win it would mark the first time a jockey has turned owner and won the Kentucky derby. The winter books hereabouts do not seem to put much stock in Earl's eligibles, holding Safety Pin at 200 to l and Nearby at 100 to l, and fail- ing to quote Hermitage. But Sande may fool 'em!

BROOKLINE, Mass, April o. The girls national indoor tennis championship has just changed hands, but it didn't stray far. for it is still in possession of the fam fly that has monopolized this title three years.
 Beyond the mere statement that Miss Mianne Palfrey of Brookline defeated her sister, Miss Sarah Palfrey, in the final singles and teamed with her sister to win the doubles title, there is chapter in American sports history that has few, if any. precedents.
 Year ago John G. Palfrey, an at- torney of greater Boston. and his wife were tennis enthusiasts. as they are to this day. They say they only played at" the game. But as their family of six young sters grew, each was taught to hold a racket and was instructed l in the rudiments of the game.
 Polly was the eldest. Then n order were Lee, Mianne, Sarah Joanna and John. In the earlier years superior age and experience
 counted for everything and vic-
 tories, therefore, were in order of
 seniority. But presently Sarah
 and Mianne forged to the front as
 the family champions in doubles
 while Sarah became the leader in singles play.
 Their supremacy was indicated back in 1926 when Mianne was finalist in the girls national ln-
 door championships. That same
 year she and Sarah won the Mas
 sachusetts junior and girls double

and still later, the girls national doubles in Philadelphia. They were Is and 13, respectively, then. No small part of their showing was due to the coaching of Mrs. George Wightman, former women's nation al champion, who has advised and aided many young New England player
 The spring of 1927 found Mianne, Sarah and Lee all playing in the girls national indoor champion ships. Mianne and Sarah got to the finals and Sarah won. They teamed together in the doubles and won that title.
 In the summer of 1927 Sarah won four titles in the Massachusetts juvenile tourney Sarah and Polly entered the Essex county club tour nament and were only eliminated respectively, by Helen Wills and Molla Mallory. Miss Wills said of Sarah: "She is the best girl player I have ever seen.'
 Since that time Sarah has been finalist in the girls national ten his finals at Philadelphia. In 1928 she won another girls indoor cham pionship and with Mianne, also won the indoor doubles title. That same year brought Sarah still an other title-the joint national wom- ems indoor doubles championship which she won with Mrs. Wright wan
 This year, although Polly and Lee were away at college, the Pal frey family again was able to put three contestants into the girls national indoor tournament-Mian- : ne, IS; Sarah, 16, and Joanna, IA Little Joanna lost to Sarah in the

 Once more Sarah and Mianne met in the finals for the singles title. It was Mianne's fourth ap- pearance at finalist in these tour naments and her last, owing to the age limit. It was her last chance to win the girls championship held by Sarah for two years. and she won it.
 Then, according to their long es- tablished custom, Mianne and Sar- ah teamed together to win their third girls national indoor doubles championship.
