 Two years ago, on account of ill health, he resigned from this office and returned home to Ju- neau and again engaged in the practice of law, which work he carried on in spite of his failing health, until less than two days before his death.
 MT. Faulkner called attention to his marriage in 1912 to Mrs. Mar tha Osborne Marshall, who, as his widow, survives him. He is also survived by his daughter, Elizabeth, and his stepson Roy Osborne.

----------------------------- LAURA LA PLANTE IS
 COMING TO PALACE

Laura La Plante seeks romance in Paris in Hold Your Man." Uni versal dialogue farce-comedy com ing to the Palace Theatre soon, and the results are beyond her widest dreams.
 Miss La Plantes latest starring vehicle is of a highly original na- ture, and gives her the fullest pos sible scope to indulge her especial screen talents and accomplishments.
 In the story Miss La Plante goes to Paris to study her art and is fascinated by her romantic foreign model, who impersonates both an apache and a nobleman-and turns out to be neither. Her deserted husband comes to Paris with an- other girl whom he intends to mar ry as soon as the divorce is granted.
 All the principals are penned up in one place by heavy rainstorm, and events of a highly ludicrous and unexpected nature pile up thick and fast.

 cred by H. L. Faulkner

Funeral services were held yes- terday at the Presbyterian Church for John B. Marshall, who passed away last Wednesday morning. Both Rev. Harry Young of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Dean Rice of the Episcopal Church took part in the services. Rev. Har- ry Young had charge of the serv- ices at the Church and Dean Rice at the grave. The Church swas well filled with the many friends of MT. Marshall and the family, and the casket was covered by and surrounded with beautiful floral pieces and potted plants.
 H. L, Faulkner, member of the Juneau Bar, delivered an address. He briefly reviewed MT. Marshalls life and work, calling attention to the fact that he was graduate of Texas Law School; that he came to Alaska in 1911 and formed a law partnership with the late Judge R. A. Gunnison. Tn 1913 he was appointed United States Com missioner by Judge Jennings, which office he held with general satis- faction for four years. He not only performed the duties of this office horiestly, faithfully and ef- ficiently, but in addition he in- dexed all old records and brought everything up to date and inaugur- ated an up to date system of filing and indexing all records, which work will stand as a lasting monu- ment to his memory in this com-

 Attractions At Theatres
THE SQUALL" NOW
 SHOWING AT PALACE

After two tremendously success full engagements on Broadway, first as stage play and more recently : as talking movie, "The Squall' blew into Juneau last night and landed at the Palace Theatre. It is another distinct triumph for the talking picture and is everything that it is claimed to be.
 Judged purely from a sound and dialogue standpoint, "The Squall'' ranks high from any angle it is viewed. The voices have been re- corded dramatically and naturally, the music has been synchronized adeptly and the general effect is one of realism and authenticity.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-04-07

Interesting customs and manners of Hungarian middle-class people and picturesque gypsy bands has been transplanted in shadow and sound making an ensemble of per- feet action and audible entertain ment.
 "The Squall'' has been faithfully held close to the original stage play which created sensation through out the country, and the cast has been carefully selected for the diff ficult roles.

HOLLYWOOD, April 7.-The old dread of the actor that he will be typed by his characterizations, be doomed to be in picture after pie ture the hero, or the heavy, or the innocent juvenile, has it's more modern aspect in the talkies.
 For the actor now may be typed by his accent, and Jean Hersholt is an outstanding example.
 Hersholt, who has never been typed by characterization, although usually he is cast in heavy roles, in real life speaks English so well that his Danish descent would scarcely be suspected.

Too Proficient

Yet in all the talkie roles he has played, he has been cast as a Ger man, except in one in which he portrayed an Italian.
 Occasionally, as recen tly, his name is mentioned for an English role, only to be rejected because the talking screen, so far, has pre- sented him only in foreign char acterizations.

Guards Are Placed To

Disorders

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina. Sept.
5.-P- Guards were strengthened
about the central police department
early today and every precaution
taken to prevent continuation Of
disorders which during the last "a
hours have cost two lives and
caused serious fighting in the
streets OF Buenos Aires.
Strong platoons OF heavily armed
officers have been placed at strees
corners. Many alcohol lamps have
been distributed throughout the
building, indicating fear that the
electric current would be cut off.
The war minister. accompanied by
General MarcileSi, arrived at head
quarters a few minutes after mid
night for a long conference with
the chief Of police.
Similar precautions were taken at
government house. before which the
police halted all traffic.
Squadrons Of mounted police were
patrolling the principal thorough
fares of the city at daybreak. Bue-
nos Aires was quiet.
students Battle
Eight hundred students gathered
last night IN the Avenida de Mayo
and forced themselves unarmed
through the ranks OF mounted
police maSsed on the plaza. An in
dividual on the sidewalk shouted
Viva Yrigoyen' and discharged a
revolver. This precipitated a fight
with police, during which many
shots were fired.
The students rallied around ban
ners made of handkerchiefs soaked
in the blood Of their wounded com
rades. but finally were dispensed by
the conStabulary. Throughout the
demonstration, and other minor
shooting affrays over the city. great
excitement prevailed. "A number OF
theaters were dark and there were
few pedestrians abroad.
The Minister Of Justice, De Ia
Campo. held a long interview with
President Yrigoyen. La Nacion said
he represented himself as speaker
for the majority Of the cabinet,
and offered their collective resig-
nations, requesting also that the
president himself resign.
De la Campo is said TO have told
the president that the best interests
Of the nation and OF his party, the
Radicals. depended upon his imme-
date withdrawal.
The president is reported TO have
refused to resign and leaders of
his party are understood TO have
reached an agreement then to
maintain the status quo until Mon
day. when the ministers probably
will insist upon the retirement of
the entire cabinet and the pres
ident.
Observers generally agree that
the president. although reluctant to
relinquish office, may be forced to
do so by the steadily increasing
press Of events.
