'. s. Diplomats Resign When NelU President Is
 Inducted Into Office

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--The fate of B American diplomats abroad, 26 of them political ap- pointees and the remainder "ca- reer" men promoted from the clas- sified foreign service. will rest with Herbert Hoover after March 4
 By custom, the resignation of all will be placed in his hands when he assumes the presidency. His plans are unrevealed. Any whole sale change of personnel at the heads of the diplomatic missions would be unprecedented in modern times.
 There are men of long, loyal service in both groups. Their ex- perience and understanding of in- ternational problems are of value to a new president. There are, too, in the political group. men whose influence would be great with any Republican administra- tion. It is to that they owe their present appointments.
 Who They Are
 Nine of the 26 non-career men are ambassadors and IT are minis ters. Tn the entire list. there are IA ambassadors each receiving ST. 800 year. and 8 with rank of minister, or minister resident, most of whom draw a s10000 salary
 The 27 men taken from the clas- sified foreign service include many with diplomatic careers extending back for long periods. Robert P. Skinner, minister to Greece, en- tered the service 31 years ago as consul at Marsailles, France. He was consul general at London for ten years.
 Classified Service
 H. Percival Dodge. minister to Denmark, began his diplomatic career as third secretary in the en- bassy in 1899. Five of. the for mer officers of the classified fore ign service are ambassadors-Ro Rob- CTS Woods Bliss in Argentina. Hugh Gibson in Belgium. Edwin V. Mor- fContinuaf on paga Twol

HOOVER,S CABINET SELECTIONS NEARLY COMPLETED
President AI,cays Seals Oath on Bible

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Presi- dent-elect Herbert Hoover's first act, after he has taken the oath of office, next, Monday, as has been the custom since the time of Wash ington, will be to kiss the Bible.
 Sometimes the Bible is opened at random, but many executives have specified that it be opened at a particular place and available records throw curious sidelighst on many presidential characters in that regard
 Ulysses S. Grant kissed the Bible at the second chapter of Isiah. second and third verses, which say:
 And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lords house shall be establish ed in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills and all nations shall flow unto it.
 And many people shall go and say, Come unto ye and let us go up the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem"
 The Bible was opened at the re- quest of Rutherford B. Hayes at the 18th Psalm-11-13.

CLEVELAND, { Feb. 26. - R. G. Iones, superintendent of Cleveland schools, vents his teachers to be nodish in thought and attire. Poise lnd health he lists as important, 'econd only to training and educa- Sion.
 Pupils must be as ease to get she most out of their classwork, the superintendent believes, and the best way to bring that about is to give them an attractive, well-dress- d, poised and capable teacher.
 We want our teachers to keep breast of the times Jones said.

Some presidents have specified the use of a certain Bible. Harding asked for that used by George Washington in his first inaugura- ton. It now is in possession of a New York Masonic lodge. The stand on which the Bible rested during Lincoln's inauguration has been used many times since for the same purpose.
 Usually, however, the executives use the Bible furnished but cus- tom, by the clerk of the Senate.

EARLY REPORT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-An- other name has been added to the growing list of Hoover's Cabinet likelihoods when William D. Mitch- ell. of St. Paul, Solicitor General of the United States, was mentioned for Attorney General.
 There is a tendency in some quarters to discard another name from the list of possibilities, that of William J. Donovan, now As- sistant Attorney General who is represented by some of his friends and disinclined to accept the post of Secretary of War. It has been reported that Hoover invited Dono- van to become Secretary of War after strong opposition developed making him Attorney neral Much of this opposition came from the drys who regard Donovan as a wet. Neither Donovan nor Hoo- yer had anything to say regarding the report.
 William D. Mitchell, mentioned above, was visitor in Juneau last year, on official business, and re- mained here several days.

PAUL CHARGES PREJUDICE BY
 JUDGE HARDING
Attacks Federal Judge in Affidavit Just Filed in
 Ketchikan Court

KETCHIKAN, Alaska. Feb. 27.- Creating situation unique in AL askan Jurisprudence, w. L. Paul. To- cal attorney, has filed an affidavit of prejudice in the United States District Court against Judge Justin W. Harding, former United States District Attorney who was recently elevated to the bench in this Di- vision, and who is now presiding over term of court here.
 The affidavit of prejudice was made by Maxfield Dalton, an h. dian fisherman, who pleaded guilty to illegal fishing in the U. s. Con- missioner's Court at Craig last Aug ust and was fined $400 Paul, last Saturday narrowly escaped con- tempt of court proceedings when Judge Harding called up for hear ing a petition for review of the case which was signed by Paul. Alleges Threats
 In the petition, among other things, Paul alleged the unite d States Attorney at the time, who was Judge Harding, threatened Dalton with loss of his boat and other prosecution unless he plead ed guilty. When Paul refused to summon Dalton to the stand last Saturday to give testimony support ing the petition for a writ of re- view, Howard D. Stabler, present United States Attorney, put Dalton on as a witness and. under ques- tioning, the fisherman denied most of the allegations in Paul's peti- ton. including that he had been threatened by the United States Attorney.
 Paul Apologies
 Judge Harding then asked Paul if he had anything to say. The latter took the stand and apolo- gized, saying he had believed the statements on his petition to have been correct, and then asked the court for leave to file an amended petition. This was granted by Judge Harding who, however, retained the original petition and testimony in the hearing, and took the whole matter under consideration.
 In the affidavit of prejudice filed by Paul, it is revealed, that the AL aska Native Brotherhood, of which Paul is Grand President, in it's con- vention at Sitka last November, passed resolution that was filed with the Senate Judiciary Commit tee, then considering the Harding nomination for the position he now holds.
 Charges in Affidavit
 The affidavit charges that last Thursday in conversation with Paul, Judge Harding referred to the con- yention's resolution and told Paul he resented it, and that he held Paul responsible for the Brother hoods attitude. The resolution was based on five cases charging illegal fishing, one of which was the Dal- ton case. After the Paul affidavit of prejudice was filed, Judge Hard ing announced he had no comment to make on the matter at present.

NEW YORK. April 19.-CRl-
William Muldoon, New York's
grand old man Of boxing, believes
that jim Corbett, the why dane

"Corbett, moving fast all the

exhibition of sustained speed and
endurance I ever saw in his 6l-
round match with Jackson in the
early '90's.
About the 45th round Jackson,
dragging an injured leg behind
him, finally drove Jim into a or

Corbett jumped clear over the
negro's shoulder And that was
after two hours Of fighting.
"Jim was SO relieved at getting
