 VARIED PROGRAM
Principal Of High School Speaks
 on Culture

Development Of automatic ma chinery having reached a poln. where much less labor than former ly is required to meet the needs Of production and consumption, man. kind inevitably will be confronted with more leisure time, Louis r. Slade. principal of the Senior high school. said at a meeting of the New Britain Musical club at the home ot Mr. and Mrs. J. s. Kennedy, Corbln avenue, last night.
 Inevitable as this increased leisurs is. the era can be brought about sooner than will otherwise be th2 case through the cooperation of those in a position 10 assist, the cdu- cator declared But when the short working V day arrives and most Of our needs are largely provided through mechanical inventions. how the in- creased leisure is employed will be important he continued.
 Mir. Slade gave as his opinion that the cultivation of music and the arts will be greatly accelerated and stimulated through increased lclsur' and that a more universal cultiNa- tcn of music would accomplish much for mankind.
 53 at Meeting
 He divided is address Tn three sections. music for it's own sake. the moral influence of music, and what it may accomplish in the future. lie devoted little time to music for it's own sake. citing the presence of 5a club members at the meeting as sufficient evidence that this is being carried on.
 Regarding the moral influence of music he cited an instance in his career as a pedagog before coming 10 New Britain. A youth at school was so poor in attendance and in his studies that he made q visit to his parents one evening to determine" his home influences. He discovered that the youngster could play the violin and greatly preferred to re- main at home evenings when his sis ter played his acCompanimcnts. This fac; vas to the youths credit keeping him from being bad by night as well as by day. and there was something tangible upon vhicE 10 construct his character. Mir Slade pointed out
 The dawn Of the intensified ma chine age and its possibilities for shorter working days and more leisure for the fine things Of life occupied most Of his attention,

Prospect of Harmony In Congress
 None Too Bright Despite Armistice

Washington, Nov. l2 (UP)--ln- 1 fterpretations of individual senators are tending to modify the prospect of harmony indicated by republican acceptance of the democratic pro- 1 posal for congressional cooperation. Some observers dismiss the armia- ticc as meaningless on the theory i the objectiVes of the two parties 1 during the next two years will be too widely separated to permit CO., operation.
 | Elsewhere it is suggested a com promise program might be carried out provided republican leaders ars i willing 10 compromise. Among dem- oCratic senators who were not con- suited regardin the party leaders cooperative proposals there are some indications of 'estivencss undef the pledge
 Theory Easier Than Fact
 Several days consideration on both sides has shown it to be much simpler to sponsor the abstract thc- ory of cooperation than to apply 1t to concrete legislation. Meantime both democratic and republican 1 leaders stand fast behind their orig 1 inal announcements which won 1 general editorial commendation Jn l the immediate aftermath of the elcc- 1 ton q week ago.
 It appears republicans are willing to cooperate with democrats on leg 1 islation for the welfare of the coup- . try and the democrats are willing to reciprocatc. The difficulty arises 1 from disagreement between the two parties on what constitutes this type or legislation.
 Vote Trade Possible
 There are things the administrd- ton wants and there are things some of us want" Senator Harris. dem, Ga. said in discussing this phase of the problem. For instance some Of us want government opera ton of the Muscle Shoals power project and legislation tc restrict Mexican Immigration | Harris thought compromise . llAi6IL Dt tl oIlSCN NiitlNbJ NtiiAS- cratic votes could be found to sup- port administration projects in eA- change for republican ;otes to sup I port democratic or democratic- pro- grcssivc proposals, especially on 1 power.
 Wagncr's Interpretation
 Senator Wagner, dem, N. Y, felt cooperation did not mean surrender of democratic plans but rather that 1 the situation also called for republi can cooperation in support Of bilis { hitherto blocked.
 i Among projects conditjonally sup ported by Wagner is that for fed r~al appropriation to relieve unen- ployed who may suffer from hunger and cold this winter. President Hoover definitely assigned all~char ity responsibilities 10 the various states and communities But pow crful republican support for relief appropriation is ;ssured in the scn- Fe.
 Senator McNary, Ore, assistant republican floor leader, said he would favor an appropriation, if necessary to be administered ! through the Red Cross.

CORPSE IN AUTO
 YIELDS MYSTERY
Scotland Yard Detectives Find
 Owner Of Death Car

Northampton. England. Nov. F | (P - From the midnight spectacle of passenger automobile blazing like a torch on a hill side near here last Thursday there has developed a murder mystery which is giving the shrewdest minds of Scotland Yard one of the knottiest problems in years 10 solve. Their efforts at solution are attracting unusual at tcation in view of recent American cases of the kind
 Inside the car when the blaze had died down was found a human body, cnarred beyond recognition - incin- crated to such a degree that 48 hours elapsed before medical experts could determine the victims sex.
 Search for Owner
 X search for the car owner led 10 the arrest of Alfred Arthur Rouse, aged 35, d commercial traveller liV- ing in London. He has been formally charged with murder of some per sons unknown" Although under stood to have made a long state lncnt to police prior to arraignment he would say nothing in court when the murder charge was read 10 him but Il am innocent"
 Meanwhile Scotland Yard sleuths | are broadcasting q description of the burned car victim, whom they be- | lieve to have been a woman, so far as they have been able to evolve description. Among the few clues to her identity is fragment of singed cloth adhering to the back of the Charred body.
 Get One Clue
 One important clue to the affair has been furnished by the discover CTS of the burning car, two young fellows who were returning from a | Northampton dance on the night of the crime. Just as they saw the blaz- ing car a few hundred yards away they saw d hatlcss man wearing a macintosh and carrying brief case
 They exchanged d word with him fabout the burning car and they left him to investigate the mystery themselves while he disappeared in another direction.
 I The theory that the victim was struck down by some weapon before the fire was started seemed
 strengthened by discovery of a ' ,.-oal.,, ,,,,lt,t I,.. ,-;,, " ,r apporcD

 Becomes Center of Government
 Juneau became the center of Territorial government early in this century. Congress in 1900 enacted legislation fixing the capital here, but it was not until September 8, 1906, that Gov. W. B. Hoggatt, af- ter obtaining suitable headquarters. moved here.
 Before that Juneau had been des- gnated by Congress as headquar- ters of the Alaska Customs Dis trict, and Capt. David H. Jarvis, Collector, moved his headquarters about July 1, 1904.
 Headquarters of the United States District Court were removed here about 1902 by Judge Melville c. Brown.
 Juneau Fire Department
 The Juneau Volunteer Fire De- partment was already in existence and had been rendering valient and timely protection to Juneau for several years before the City Gov ernment was organized. In those days 1t was noted for the vigor and efficiency it fought the fire demon.
 In 1890 the organization came into being and its first equipment was wagon equipped with buckets. Several years later E. Valentine or ganized two companies, a hose com pany and a hook and ladder com pany. He was ones of the first chiefs. The late w. w. Casey was the first head of the department to be formally approved by the City Council. A history could be written about the departments &C., tivities, and some stories, such as the passage and enforcement Of ordinances, have become almost legendary.

JUNEAU OWES HER EXISTENCE
 TOGOLD STRIKE
Discovery of Lode Deposit Follows Finding of
 Placer Riches

With the coming of Spring in 1881, the mining industry was launched in earnest. It has under gone the vicissitudes common to it in every other mining country but it was never on a more solid foundation than today with the Alaska Juneau mine producing about 50 per cent of all the goia mined in the Territory.
 Founded 16 years before the Klon- dike discovery. Juneau has seen the famous bonanza placer camps of Dawson, Nome and Fairbanks born, wax great and decline, and the les ser camps of Ruby, Iditarod Liven- good, Chisana and Marshall mush- room and die This camp has maintained a steady pace of de- velopment with little or no booms and no real depressions.
 From here spread the prospectors whose boats followed unknown streams of the farther north. Writ ing in 1900, Dick Harris said.
 Had it not been for the dis covery of the Harris mining dis trict in 1880, the discoveries made on the Yukon and the Klondike might have remained a sealed let ter to this day, as it was through the perseverance of the Juneau miners, who kept pushing their way down the Yukon from year to year, that all the mining camps of the present day have been discov- cred, and that by Americans"
 George Carmack, discoverer Of the Klondike, was an American and an old resident of Juneau.
 Development on Big Scale
 While placer miners devled into

the glod bearing gravels adjacent to Juneau. or Harrisburg, hard rock miners were hard at work de- veloping lodes that were to result in the big Treadwell property on Douglas Island, the Perseverance, Alaska Gastineau and Alaska Ju- neau mines on Gastineau Channel. Silver Bow Basin, Sheep Creek and Salmon Creek as well as Douglas Island shores were prospected and mines started. Eagle River and Der ners Bay had their developments, all resulting from the Harris Min ing Districts activities.
 As early as 1882 Treadwell had 240 stamps grinding out bullion on Douglas Island. And within 10 or 12 years, there were six companies including Treadwell, Sil- yer Queen, Mexican Novel; Gold Mining Company, Humbolt and Eastern Alaska Milling and Mining Company. a total of 375 stamps.
 Iown ouon Built Up
 A comfortable town with fairly good facilities was soon built up, The name of Harrisburg did not re- main in usage long. There is some difference of opinion as to the date of change. Bennett, one of the first citizens said in 1893 that it was changed to Rockwell in February, 1881. Harris, however, in 1900, recalled it was still known as Harrisburg in 1882 and the postoffice was Of the same name. Owing to confusion in mail des- patch. caused by the fact there was a Harrisburg in Oregon, it was de- cided to change it to Rockwell in honor of a Lieutenant on the U. s. s. Jamestown. This name didn't last long and at mass meeting several months later, Bennett fixes it in November. 1881, it was chris tened Juneau, in honor of Joe Ju- neau.
 Harris Describes Town
 Harris told of the community S early development as follows:
 "The town grew rapidly as far as log cabins were concerned. And in 1881 good frame buildings took the place of log cabins and business of all kinds flourished; miners got to work opening up their claims in Silver Bow Basin, and also lode
