General Disavowal of Cor ruption, Bribery-Cor-
 win and Lyle Next

SEATTLE, Sept. g. = William Whitney, former Assistant Prohibi- ton Administrator, wound up three days on the witness stand late yes- terday with a blanket denial of all charges of corruption and bribery and a flat statement he never re- ceived "one penny" to influence his official acts.
 The general disavowal of all un- lawful acts followed specific denials of each overt act charged by Gov ernment witnesses.
 Earl Corwin and Roy Lyle, also co-defendants in the present con- spiracy trial, will be called in their own defense after a few more ques- tions are put to Whitney today.
 "A cancelled check and deposit slip was produced by Whitney to disprove A. L. Hubbard's testimony that Whitney was financially in terested in the Aberdeen Radio Station Whitney explained he gave the check to Hubbard to purchase radio equipmnt in exchange for $500 in cash given him by Hub bard

MICHIGAN DRYS
 OPPOSE COUZENS
 IN SENATE RACE

LANSING, Mich, Sept. 9.-Michi- gan's primary campaign revolves largely around the prohibition is- sue and party regularity in the contest for Republican nomination for United States Senator.
 Chase s. Osborn, former gover- nor is opposing Senator James Couzens in the primary today.
 The Michigan Anti-Saloon league, through it's official publication, has taken a hand in the contest. The dry organ describes Osborn as a istaunch friend of prohibition.
 It finds nothing in Couzen's stand to indicate he has changed his mind since six years ago when he ad- vocated five percent beer.
 Charges of party irregularities against the senior senator have been met with the reply from Cou- zens that people of the state. al- though overwhelmingly Republican. prefer independence in thought and action
 Couzens advocates state and na- tional legislation to stabilize in- comes of industrial workers, while Osborn demands more adequate farm relief.
 An outstanding wet and dry fight in the Sixth Congressional District has attracted wide attention. Rep resentative Grant M Hudson, en- dorsed by the Anti-Saloon league, has three opponents, all running on liberal platforms.
 Former Governor Alex J. Groes- beck is seeking a return to the of flee he held three consecutive terms. His opponents for the Republican nomination are Wilber M Bruckner, attorney general, who has the sup port of the present administration, and Judge Edward J. Jeffries of Detroit.
 Democratic candidates have no opposition in the primary. Their slate carries Thomas E. A. Wea- dock of Detroit, for United States Senator, and William A. Comstock, former National Democratic Com mitteeman, for Governor.

LONG R4NSDELL
 CAMPAIGN STIRS
 LOUISIANA VOTERS

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 9.-The race for United States Senate seat between Sen. Joseph E. Ransdell and Gov. Huey P Long has aroused Louisiana to high political pitch
 There are no outstanding legis- lative issues involved, and the cam paign has become a battle of per sonalities to be decided at the pri- mary today.
 Long says vote for him means vote for good roads, while Rans- dell retorts that he stands more for good roads than does Long. Ransdell points to his long legis- lative record and Long declares Ransdell has been sleeping in Washington for 30 years" The governor sought to poke fun at the Senator's goatee by referring to him as Feather Duster" Rans- dell.
 Ransdell promptly made the feather duster his campaign em- blem, accepted a mammoth duster from women voters at a rally and said he would use it to sweep clean Louisiana politics"
 Newspapers, fighting the gover- nor, cartoon his silk pajamas in which he received German naval officer on courtesy call and charge that the governor wishes to be "em- peror of Louisiana" Almost the en- tire daily press of the state op- poses Long.
 The two men are strikingly diff ferent in type
 Ransdell, who went to Washing ton 31 years ago when Long was only six years old, possesses great dignity and has the manners of a Lord Chesterfield He campaigned on an impersonal plane with soft voice and a guarded tongue.
 Governor Long, born and bred in the red hills of middle Louisiana. comes of poor farmer stock and is proud of it. His tactics are spec tacular and his speech and manner are ruthless.

ILLNESS CAUSE. OF SUICIDE BY M RS. CHAMBERS
Coroner's Inquiry Results in Verdict of Death
 at Her Own Hand

Illness and resultant despondency were the probable causes of Mrs. Edith Chambers, 50 years, shooting herself early Monday morning at Benjamin Island where she and her husband, Harry Chambers, have been engaged in fox ranching for several years.' A coroner's jury impaneled by Judge A. w. Fox yes terday, after an inquiry at the ranch, returned a verdict of suicide.
 The body of the dead woman was brought to town last night by her husband and Ike Weathers. Funeral services will be held at Ju- neau-Young Mortuary Chapel at pm. Wednesday, Rev. c. c. Saun- ders officiating, and interment made in Evergreen Cemetery.
 Chambers Tells Story
 MT. Chambers was the only other person at the ranch house when the tragedy occurred between and 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs. Chambers arose as usual about 6 o'clock and lighted the fire. MT. Chambers did not awaken until she returned to bed For short time they remained there discussing their work for the day, then both arose to dress. He went into the bath room and Mrs. Chambers proceeded to front room. Doors leading from the bedroom to the other two rooms were closed. When he emerged from the bathroom, MT Chambers went to the front room and opened the door to ask his wife about some fresh underclothing and saw her lying on couch, arms folded across her breast and re- volver resting on the arms. Blood was slowly oozing between her teeth and lips.
 He had heard no report from the pistol, he said. This was later ac- counted for, when an examination revealed that the woman had ap- parently showed the muzzle of the gun well back into her mouth and closed her lips firmly before pulling the trigger. This was indicated by the fact that there were no powder burns about the lips but the tongue was badly burned. The bullet pen etrated the roof of the mouth, ranging upward, but did not emerge from the head.
 Gun Falls Into Arms
 With the shot, the woman seemed to have relaxed naturally with arms folded, and the gun dropped out of the mouth into the arms. Dr. w. J. Pigg, who made the examination, and jurors conducting the inquest agreed that the wound could have been inflicted by no one except the woman.
 Last Saturday, while visiting with Mrs. Ike Weathers, who resides at Eagle River Landing, Mrs Cham bers had expressed the belief that she was seriously i'll, but said she did not want her husband to know about it as 1t would cause him to worry. She made arrangements to come to Mrs. Weathers' place this week and then to town to consult with a physician.
 At that time she seemed despon- dent. It is believed that she brood ed over her illness to such an ex- tent that it caused her to decide to end it all.
 Came From Montana
 MT. and Mrs. Chambers came to Juneau about six years ago from Montana. Since 1924 they have been working on fox ranches in the Lynn Canal district. About two years ago, they purchased the Ben jamin Island property and have op-, erated it since that time.
