PANTACES NOT
PERMITTED TO
LEAVE PRISON

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2S U.P)-
Alexander Pantages, millionaire the
atrical man was still in the county
Jail today and must remain there
pending decision on his appeal from
conviction of assaulting Eunice Prin-
gle youthful dancer.
That was the ruling of Judge
Charles W. Fricke, who denied the
showman's plea for admission to bail
ON the ground of impairment of
health and possible death as a result
of confinement.
Pantages may have personal ply
sicians and nurses attend him but
any treatment he requires must be
given either in the prison ward of
the General hospital or in the coun-
ty jail hospital, the court decided.
In making his ruling, Judge
Fricke said:
"Pantages is suffering from prison
neurosis or prison psychosis. 1t
weighs upon his mind and affects
his physical condition. But he has
an exaggerated idea of his illness.
Facts do not show it to be serious"
Several physicians were called in
support of Pantages' plea for re.
lease on bail, testifying that his as
serted leaky heart valve might cause
death if his confinement in Jail is
long continued.
Other doctors appearing for the
district attorney denied the posi-.
bility of death, attributing much of
the theater mans illness to his men.

TO KILL LIN C MAN.;
 HAS FORTUN NE
Conscience Forces Man to Return for Trial
 Reveals Surprise

CHICAGO, lii, March 21.-John Mackenzie has come back and his tattered grip is bulging with bonds and mortgages worth $450,000 and with a confession that he killed a man last October
 Mackenzie said his conscience has troubled him since October "A when he was. provoked to the point of shooting Arthur Glanke after long years of wrangling, legal and physical, over spite wall.
 More surprising than his confess sion was the discovery of his wealth. He always lived frugally. He was known as a real estate operator but the police had no knowledge his operations were sut- ficient to produce nearly half @ million dollars.
 Glanke was slain after Macken- zie made a final appeal to remove the spite wall between their ad- joining properties. Prior to the shooting, Mackenzie had gone as high as the Supreme Court in a vain attempt to get relief. The two had brawled frequently on the streets, the police recalled.

 May Be UnfoIded

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 2l. After authorizing April as the opening date for the impeachment trial of Superior Judge Carlos J. Hardy. of Los Angeles, the State Senate authorized the taking of dispositions of Mrs. Minnie Ken nedy, whose statements already are linked with the jurist in several inn portant phases of Mrs. Aimee Sem pie McPherson's disappearance in- vestigation.
 After @ four hours argument be- hind locked doors, the Senators voted 29 to 10 to authorize the Impeachment Board to go to Port land Oregon, and take Mrs. Ken nedy's testimony.
 Assemblynan William Eornblower told the Senate, Mrs. Kennedy's af- fidavit, made three weeks ago, de- clared that the $2,500 check given Judge Hardy by Mrs. McPherson as love offering was positively for legal services. He said a second check, heretofore not mentioned in the case, for $25o, was paid Judge Hardy by Mrs. McPherson and Mrs. Kennedy, for detective servic- es. The check was subsequently, voided.
 Ralph Jordan, said to be a Los Angeles newspaperman, demanded that Asa Reyes, then District At torney of Los Angeles, be given the cancelled check to which Mrs. Ken nedy replied: Aimee, you know that would be betraying the confi- dence of a friend" The check af- terward was subpoenaed.
 Mrs. Kennedy is expected to be questioned at Portland about March %.

 Those who have discussed agri- cultural aid with the President are of the opinion he would like to see a Federal Farm Board, it is pro- posed to create, clothed with broad authority to deal with any crisis as it might arise in the basic industry.
 The Chief Executive is represent ed as holding out for formulas for curing the present ills and prob ably will not be applied to emer- gencies arising in the future.

 HERE FOR FEW DAYS

On his first trip of the year to visit canneries that will be operated this season by the Alaska Packers Salmon Corporation, J. N. Gilbert, Vice-President and General Man ager of that company, has arrived for few days visit here. He will go from here to Rake and other plants in this vicinity and later to Prince William Sound.
 The new company, which has re- gently acquired some of the most valuable Alaska salmon canning plants, is now one of the largest salmon packers in the world. It will operate eight plans in Alaska this year.
 Our policy will be to buy every thing possible in Alaska, and to employ all the local labor avail able" MT. Gilbert said. He was confident that both the Territory and industry will benefit from the mergers. Production and market ing can be more efficiently done as ' ell sa the efficiency of the pro- ducing units increased. The Terri tory's tax receipts. he said, should l e increased by revenues from the higher brackets of the super case levies. The consultations, he add ed, will not in any way be harm ful to local labor as the company's policy will be to give local people preference.
