And then the good fairy waved
her wand and the scanned and

into heaps of shining gold coins.
Mrs. Armenes Bennett, q, and
her blond, curly-haired son, Ray

things do happen in real life.
Until a few days ago Mrs.
Bennett was poor in this worlds

Stock Worth Fortune
Now she has learned that sup
posedly worthless stock bequeathed
her by her father, the late DR..
James A. Dickinson, is worth a
fortune.
DR.. Dickinson died in 1923. An
inventory of the estate disclosed
that there was barely enough
money to meet immediate obliga-
tionS.
Four shares Of stock In the
United Cooperative Building Bank
of New York. purchased by DR.:
Dickinson in 1876, were left to
his daughter, Armenes. They were
believed worthless.
Found In Old Trunk
Rummaging through an old
trunk a few days ago, Mrs. Ben
nett who had in the meantime
wed, given birth to a son, be-
come divorced, learned a trade
and earned her own living, found
the old paper.
She investigated and learned
that through a long series of re-
calls, reissues and stock dividend
transactions the four shares had
multiplied and are now worth 20
shares in one of the strongest
financial institutions in New York.
Their total value is estimated
to be nearly 100000.

CRIME BOARD
MAY file 8
REPORTS
Commission Reported Split
as Final Session Is Begun;
Congress Action Puzzles

Rumor and report filled the
Capital today as the Wickersham
Commission went into solitary
confinement for ten days to try
to arrive at some recommendation
concerning prohibition.
The commission Is badly split.
Not even the secretiveness OF the
members can conceal that fact.
They were widely split when they
first met more than q year ago,
and months o. deliberation and
actual wrangling behind closed
doors have not served to bring the
divergent factions together.
Faint Hopes Held
The hope has been expressed
that some sort of an opinion may
be arrived at which will approach
filnanimity. But it is admittedly
3 forloTn hope. There may be
two or three reports finally
emerging next month, at least
one of which will favor the
hberalizing Of the Volstead act.
There is vast speculation in
Washington as to just how far a
majority of the commission will
be ready to go in proposing modi-
fication toward light wines and
beer. There is even more specu-
lation concerning what the atti-
tude of President Hoover will be,
when and if a majority Of the
commission makes such a recon-
mendation.
Hoover Not Pledged
II, as many believe, a majority
Of the commission will decide
finally to propose modification,
1t will pose a pretty question for
Mr.. Hoover, and, for that matter,
for Congress as well.
Should a majority of the COM
mission recommend the restora-
tion of beer and the liberalizing
Of the Volstead act there will be
three courses open to Mr.. Hoover:
He can forward the report to
Congress with favorable recon-
mendation for legislative action.
He can transmit the report
with a covering letter expressing
disagreement. or
He can simply pass it along to
Congress for it's information and
guidance without Executive recon-
Inendation.
Indications that Prohibition
Director Amos w. w. Woodcock
may decide to direct activities of
the Federal dry army from
Washington, rather than spend
ing most of his time on inspec.
tion trips were seen today fol
lowing conferences at the Depart
ment of Justice.
Woodcock has just returned
after being recalled by long dis
tance telephone at the direction
of Attorney General Mitchell as
he was about to depart for Homo
lulu.
The belief prevailed that
Mitchell was disturbed that Wood
cock, after having advocated an
increase of 500 agents in the pro-
hibition force, left Washington
and had planned to be absent
during the Appropriations Com
mittee hearing when the Admin
istration will urge the large boost
in the dry enforcement staff.
Mitchell wanted to have Wood
cock to explain how the addi-
tional money was to be spent
and why the 500 additional agents
were necessary.

AGRICULTURAL GRADUATES ALI
HOLD JOBS

Every agricultural graduate of the
June 1880 class at the State College is
already filling position in the agri-
cultural field declares Edward G.
Johnson, dean OF the college Of agri-
culture. "These opportunities have
come in farming, fruit-warehousing,
dairy manufacturing, teaching agricul-
ture in Smith Hughes schools, working
with tractor and power companies, and
in the feed business, horticultural in
spection, county agent work and re-
search in connection with the State
College agricultural experiment sta
ton. Six graduates have been granted
fellowship at educational institutions
where they have opportunity for re-
search work and advanced study in
preparation for college teaching.
1.-THE high class graduate in agricul-
ture easily finds work in which the
training obtained in college years can
be used to great advantage. Usually
there are more opportunities than
available men. OF the more than 600
graduates in agriculture from the
State College of Washington, today
approximately As per cent are in pro-
fessional agriculture; 25 per cent are
farming or managing farms; is per
cent are in agricultural business; 10
per cent are in other business activi-
ties; and 5 per cent are engaged in
miscellaneous enterprises. Over 80
per cent are in the strictly agricultural
field for which their college training
fitted them"

When the suc- cess of the Dukes venture was as- sured, he directed that none but two of his countrymen accompany him to the top, and so none of us except him and two of his coun- trymen went to the summit. Some time, I may take notion to see what the Duke put into the cairn that he placed on the peak. I like to climb mountains better than to pump oil. Almost any day may follow my inclination
 Katalla is prosperous in it's mod est way. The Chilkat Oil Company has four claims that were patented beforts the government closed oil ground to private ownership. Four wells are in production They are yielding A barrels of oil a day.
 
 We brought in the first pro- ducer in 1902, and it is still flow ing" said MT. White. "Oil of the Katalla field is high grade-85 per cent gasoline, distillate, coal oil and Diesel oil. We have put down IA holes in all, and we plan to do more drilling in the immediate future.
 The Frank Johnson Company of Chicago, which has leased from the government likely ground at Nich- awak, has drilling outfit in opera tion. It is making about 5 feet a day, and was down 150 feet when I left a few weeks ago."
 Katalla's population, according to MT. White, consists of 60 white per sons and Indians. Everybody that wants work has it. There is no commissioner, no deputy marshal, no law enforcement officer of any sort.
 "Is that" he naively asked, "the cause or the effect of the absence of crime. Even the bootlegger is a stranger to us"
 MT. White will remain here a week or ten days longer before re- turning home.

when deletions, dictated by public authorities, were made in several scenes. But the charges against Earl and his nine employees still stand.
 Recalls Famous Party
 It was over four years ago that Carroll gave the famous wine bath tub party for his theatrical angel that resulted in his being sentenced for a one-year term in Atlanta prison. Some of the most promi- nent people in New York City at tended that astonishing function.
 The high point of the festivities came when a young lady named Joyce Hawley stepped into a bath tub filled with wine. Carroll was arrested when he denied that the girl took vintage bath at the revel in his theatre. He was con- victed of perjury.
 All Broadway sprang to his de- fense, but Carroll was incarcerated, nevertheless.
 When Carroll came back from Atlanta, he made phenomenal comeback. The new revues that he produced eclipsed all his previous efforts in both costliness and en- tertainment value.
 His newest show, on the boards only few weeks, outdoes for sheer splendor of settings, as well as for risque scenes and dialogue, anything ever seen on the American stage

Then he saw Maureen O'Sulli- vans profile. And despite all the changes the movies were under yoing and all his other worries, he ,igned her to contract to appear in the Mccormack and other films.
 The result is record for Mau- reen-the quickest rise, it is held, of any girl without previous train ing from an absolute unknown" to featured player.
 Maureen was living, 10 months ago, in Killiney, 6,1OO miles from Hollywood. Just past 20, she spent her life riding with her parents in small imported car and going to Dublin, Il miles away, to shop-or to attend the Metropole theater and dance at the Plaza restaurant.
 At the Metropole she saw Amer ican talkies. At the Plaza she

 Among the young ladies who will stand trial with Carroll are: Miss Irene Ahlberg, the Miss America" of last years beauty contest at Galveston; Frances Joyce, the Miss San Francisco" and Faith Bacon, fragile dancing beauty.
 Earl Carroll started his profess sional career as a lyric-writer for popular songs. At one time he wrote the words to music penned by the unforgettable opera tenor, Enrico Caruso.
 Sensational Career
 His sensational rise to the front rank of American musical comedy producers is one of the epics of Broadway His attempts to wrest first honors in this field from Florenz Ziegfeld has resulted in much bitterness between the two.
 Under the New York State law, theatres housing indecent theatri- cal productions may be padlocked for one year. If this happens in the "Vanities" case, Carols great est rival will suffer some of the consequences.
 For one of the owners of the showhouse at which Earl Carroll exhibited his latest extravaganza is none other than ziegfeld-who refers to himself as "the glorifier of the American girl"

Tn it's final performance at the
 Coliseum last night, the Elks Show,
 "Hoodoo, staged under the direc-
 ton of MT. and Mrs. c. J. Mac
 Naughtan, pleased another lar g Q
 audience. All of the speciality mum
 bers were excellent and rendered
 in a pleasing manner, and the three-act mystery play kept the big audience diverted and enter tained from the first scene to the final curtain.
 Miss Grace Naghel, solo dancer, and the Misses Elizabeth and Esth- er Kaser in a distinctive dance feature, divided honors with the soloists, Ted Keaton and Mrs. Mary Norris GoSS. The Riddles Kupe Doll Revue repeated last night the
 hit it made at the opening per- formance and was given an ova- | tion.
 Miss Ella Wolland, junior dancer, scored another success. The chorus which appeared in numbers given by MT Keaton and Mrs. Goss was one of the best ever seen here. Martin Jorgenson. as Sheridan Scott, crime "deflector," gave a 1 finished performance in that role
 in the comedy drama. It was a swiftly moving play of mystery that kept the audience in suspense until
 just before the final curtain Miss Murial Jarman who had the role of Ruth Carson, heroine, was charming, and her cllum and com ranion, Norah Oneill, played by Mrs. McNaughtan. made up the third excellent lead.

OIL DISCOvERER
 ARRIVES HERE
 FOR VACATION
Mountain Clint ping Is Weakness of Thomas G.
 White of Katalla

Where is the best place to spend vacation? Thomas G. White of Katalla. pioneer Alaskan, knows. Not Paris with the Folies Bergere and the art galleries of the nearby Tuileries; nor London with the picturesque poverty of Whitechapel and the regal splendor of St. James nor Berlin with Unter Den Linden and the imposing palace of the fallen Hohenzollerns; nor Rome with St Peters, seemingly eternal, and the Coliseum, palpably tenn poral; nor even any of the play grounds of the New World-New York with the glare and glitter of Broadway, nor Los Angeles with ad- jacent Hollywood and it's. allure .ment of feminine beauty.
 None of these for him. Yet he would not be unwelcome in the dis tant or the nearer places. He has broken bread with royalty, bunked with culture and lent tobacco to possessors of great wealth. He pre- fers Juneau He is here to while away the time that he is taking from petroleum activities near Con- troller Bay. He has the distinction of being the discoverer of oil in both the Katalla and Yakataga districts.
 Came North In 1888
 MT White first came to Alaska in 1888. He was in Juneau when it boasted the largest ore reduction mill in the world, the Treadwell dropping PA stamps at the time. He has prospected placer and lode properties in various parts of the territory, but in the interim of years between his efforts as a gold seek CT and his achievements as an oil producer he devoted himself to mountain climbing. It is this period of his life that he recalls with fond est recollections.
 Mount Saint Elias was and is my weakness" he recalled today as he sat in the GaStineau Hotel. My first attempt at sealing it was in 1890. The party of which was a member was headed by Prof. Is- rael c. Russell, eminent geologist, afterward and think now, a mem Der of the faculty of the University of Michigan. In the group were scions of wealthy families. We made but little progress. The next year Professor Russell organized another party of which I was a member. With equipment and SUD- plies, we left Port Townsend in the Revenue Cutter Bear, among whose officers were Captain Healy and Lieutenants Jarvis and Robinson Six lives-five of the ships com pany and one of our party-were lost in gaining the shore near the
