IMMERSION CASE
 | ID BE REVIEWED
All Documents Concerning xit.
 ter Up Bslors Lseisl,ture

Los Angeles, Jan. 24 RNAn offi- cial revival of the so-called Aimee semple McPhcrson Kidnapping case was foAecast today after it became known that all documents relating to her mysterious disappearance three years ago had been ordered brought before a legislative tnvesti- gating committee.
 The committee Is under call to meet here Saturday to start an in quiry into the acceptance by Super for Judge Carlos Sam Hardy of the Los Angeles superior court of a $2.- 500 check while she was facing charges of conspiring to defeat jus tice, by telling false story to a grand jury about her much discuss ed disappearance. The committee is to determine whther the filing of impeachment charges against Judge Hardy is warranted.
 Free Offering
 Judge Hardy. who was dropped from the membership of the Ameri- can Bar association because he ac- cepted the money. has declared that it was free will offering from the famous evangelist and that it was given for legal advice which he had proffered to her over 2 period Of years. He declared it had nothing to do with the conspiracy charge. This accusation was dropped by the then district attorney. Asa Reyes, on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to convict.
 Reyes is on trial here at present on charge of accepting bribes from defendants in other criminal cases. The grand jury which indict- ed Reyes also was said to have heard evidence that Mrs. McPher- son spent 2 large sum of money to forestall being brought to trial. The investigating body, however, never has made public report on the McPherson case.
 Mrs. McPherson has announced that she would appear before the legislative committee next Saturday. J uu6S dIu$s WIIO dlOO IlS 6uu~ poenaed, has said he would obey the summons.
 In formal statement to the in- vestigating committee of the state bar, Judge Hardy some time ago declared that he received the check from the Angelus Temple Corpora ton on August 12. 1926, about two months after Mrs. McPherson's re- turn from the Mexican desert. This date was subsequent to the investi- gation of the evangelist's kidna ping story by the county grand jury.
 Mrs. McPherson, founder of An- gelus Temple. and chief exponent of the -Four Square Gospel" was re- ported missing by her secretary, Miss Emma Schaeffer. on May IS. 1926. The secretary reported that the evangelist had disappeared while swimming in tho surf at Ocean Park After more than & month the evan

MACDONALD ASKS
 FOR REAL HARMONY
Urges U. S.-Grsat Britain Aban-
 don "Sllky Suspicion

New York, Jan. 24 R-An appeal for active efforts by the govern- ments of the United States and Great Britain to remove the "sulky suspicion" which has crept into the relations between the two countries is maee by Ramsay Macdonald. former British labor prime minister. in an article appearing in "The Ma tion."
 This is no case for private and unofficial action and conferences" Mir. Macdonald says. ''The govern- mcnts must act. Both countries ought to appoint five or six of their most outstanding public men, repre- sentative of the whole nation, to meet and drag from the obscure corners of sulky suspicion the things which make difficulties between us. Let us know them. Mayhap fresh air would clean our minds of them"
 Frankly stating that the relations between the United States and Great Britain are growing increasingly unr happy, MT. Macdonald says: "The plain fact is that a spirit is growing up in the two countries which is estranging them. and is encouraging a kind of squabbling criticism which destroys mutual understanding and forbearance."
 Mir. Macdonald contends that the practical policy of the United States and Great Britain is exactly the same "as that which preceded and prepared for the late war"
 He suggests that both nations get down to reality. particularly on the naval question and to bring to a common table for discussion the reason why ships arc being built and why both nations went to the Ge- neva naval conference on the as- sumption that war was possible.
 'Why do not the statesmen act 2" he asks" IT they are acting why do they not give us comfort by inform- ing us that they are? Is no attempt to be made. is not being made. to clear up inc confusion of the freedom Of the seas?" Has neither of us the courage to discuss with the other what the interests and obll- gations of both are in and 10, the world and each other."
 Tho recent naval accord between France and Great Britain, which MT. Macdonald charactcrizes as be- ing also military agreement, is de- scribed by the former premier as illustrating the 'bunglng" of so much of Great Britain's foreign af- fairs by the present government.
 II do not believe that it was dt- rected against the United States" he said. "lt was simply stupid. It sacri- ficed our own national interests far moro than it menaced yours"

TELLS CANADIANS
 ABOUT HAMILTON
Professor Says He Was Grand
 father of Their Constitution

Toronto, Jan. 2l N-1n one Of 9 series of lectures intended to foster a better understanding between Canada and the United States, Pro- lessor William M. Munro of Har- ward University last night said Alex ander Hamilton was entitled to be known as the grandfather of the Canadian constitution.
 Professor Munro, Canadian born head of the department of govern ment at Harvard, lectured at the University of Toronto under the Pearson kirkMan Marfleet founda- tion. established in 1910 by Mrs. Lyria A. Marfleet of Phophetstown. H.. in memory of her husband. He termed the Dominion of Canada Q by-product of the United States since tho nucleus of upper Canada and the maritime provinces was formed when loyalists fled from the United States to Canada. The Declaration of Independence, he said, was one of the most potenA in- fluences in keeping Canada attach cd to Great Britain, as confedera- tion had been hastened by the force of example of the union of the states and by fear of annexation. Professor Munro likened Sir John R. Macdonald to Alexander Hamil- ton. Benjamin Franklin, he said, was, the counter part of George Brown, and he compared Joseph Howe of Nova scotia>to the fiery Patrick Henry of Virginia.
 Sir John A. MacDonald's ideas on federation, the professor said, were so analogous to those of Alexander Hamilton that they entitled the great American to the title grand . father of the Canadian constitu- tion."
 Professor Munro regarded the Dominion house of commons as q closer imitation of the United States congress than of the house of com- mons in Great Britain.
 The present status of q British Dominion. in the opinion of Profess sor Munro. is simply the formula which George III refused to accept. The findings of the last imperial conference were the most complete indication any political philosophy had ever had. he added.

NO CHAMP GAME FOR THIS YEAR

Judging from the latest word re- ceived from Petersburg, there will be no Southeast Alaska cham pionship basketball game this year.
 Supt w. K. Keller received a communication from the Peters burg authorities yesterday propos- ing that two games of the match be played here and two in Peters burg. This was not accepted by the Juneau school officials.
 The Juneau team has travelled for the past four seasons to the Southeast for h final events. It is held as only fair that games between the winning teams play off the honor game in Juneau this year, which argument is backed by the fine gym that is now in use, and the good accommodations for players.
 Petersburg scored over Ketchi- kan, which left her the contender against Juneau, who scored over Douglas for the championship. There is still a chance that an agreement will be reached, but it is frankly said that there are small hopes.

ANDERSONBA BACK FROM INTERIOR
 AND WESTWARD

After a several weeks trip to the towns to the Westward and in the Interior, George Anderson, of the Anderson Music Shop, returned 0 Juneau on the steamer Alameda. MT. Anderson called at Seward, Cordova, Anchorage, Latouche, Ne mana and Fairbanks while away and on his return reported that he did considerable business in each town. Anderson is an expert piano tuner and during the trip put in shape a large number of in- struments.
 The towns of the Interior, MT. Anderson said, were enjoying a most open winter. Especially is this so of Fairbanks and Nenana, where the weather is more than mild with great deal of rain, some snow and high temperatures. The usual severe winter cold is lacking this season throughout a large section, said Anderson.
 Commenting on the town of An chorage, he said that the place is showing more than the usual evi-

FIREMEN SCORE 36 TO 24 OVER
 H|LLT OP PIERS

even matters up," the Juneau Fire men Basketeers, through playing that resembled the Somme often sive or the march through Georgia, emerged at games end with the long side of 36 to 24 score, Sat urday night in the high school gym.
 Although the score is high on both sides, the work of the guards on the Bremen team was aggres- sive and effective at all times. They allowed the prep team only 40 tries for field goals, of which 12 were made, most all from be- yond the free throw line.
 Guarding was not up to the usual on the school five, Sturrock seemed to be doing the big share of it, also advancing the ball to point makers time and agai n through clever passing and twice coming in for shots. He was un- doubtedly the star of the game on either side as honors for the Firemen were divided a m equally. Throughout the match the Bremen made, 63 tries. scoring 16 field goals. Heady passing and losing the ball few times were features for the winning team.
 The tip-off went to the Bremen almost conysistently from the first whistle. Fred Orme scored the first, long shot. Then Sur. rock added a two-pointer which was followed by single-pointer by Hollmann on foul by Fred Orme. Camper shot a field ending the first quarter 43.
 Defense grew disorganized for the Hilltoppers in the second quar- ter, while it grew tighter for the Bremen. Few close-ups were pos sible for the school and the guards were forced to come in with some long shots, which weakened their defense. Brandt, J. Orme and Sturrock scored for the Hilltop pers, and Junge, Hollmann, Os- born and Camper did likewise, with Hollmann also making a free throw on a foul by Berggron. Half score was 12-10.
 For the third Jackson and Nell son went in for the Ormes; they showed up we'll, but the defense grew weaker yet in this period. The Bremen added IA points in the third, six of which were made by Hollmann. Two conversions on a foul by Brandt were made by Osborn. Brandt scored twice and Nelson once. Third ended 26-16 for the Bremen.
 Fred and James Orme went in again for the last quarter and the latter found his shooting eye at once, making four field goals. Os- born made two fields, Hollmann one and Junge one, and the game which was fast for the four quar- ters, ended 36 to 24 or on 3-2 basis.
 Playing was clean on both sides, only five fouls being called, all of which were on the Hilltoppers The game was well refereed by Sperling.
 It is regrettable that well-played games between such well-matched teams should draw such small crowds. as only about 25 specta tors witnessed the game, which may be the last on the gym floor this season.
 The game summary follows:

 The Gulf crossing on the Ala meda was one of the most pleasant that, according to Mr. Anderson, he has ever experienced The water was abnormally calm for the season and instead of a pitching and rolling voyage attended by much seasickness, the passen- gers enjoyed the open ocean trip from Seward south.
