JUDGE HARDING
 SLIGHTLY HURT
Injured in Auto Accident in East = Delayed in Starting for Coast

Slight injuries received in an automobile accident while visiting in his old home in Franklin, Ohio, delayed the departure of Judge Justin w. Harding on his return Ito the coast, and will cause few days deferment of the local Sep- tember term of the Federal District Court. Word of the accident was received by mail here today by Miss Ann Gaynor, sister of Mrs. Harding.
 Judge Harding received minor bruises and cuts around the face and head. He had expected to start for the West on August 5, but did not get away until eight days later by which time his in- juries had healed sufficiently to permit him to travel.
 He is due to reach Seattle late this month and will sail for Ju- neau from there August 30 The local court term is set to convene on that day. It will be necessary to postpone it for two or three days pending his arrival.

MRS. WILBUR
 CETSUP EARLY
 TO SEE GLACIER
Wife of Interior Secretary Is Delighed with
 Mendenhall

T wouldn't have missed seeing 1t for anything" exclaimed Mrs. Ray Lyman Wilbur, wife of the Secre- tary of Interior, as she stood before Mendenhall Glacier about 5:30 o'clock this morning. She, her son Ray jr., E. K. Burlew, Administra- tive Assistant to the Secretary, and his son John, and Gov, Parks left town at 4:30 o'clock to make the trip.
 The party was met on the steam CT Aleutian by the Governor. The trip had been previously planned but owing to the rain and clouds the Governor was doubtful if Mrs Wilbur would want to take the ride
 What, let rain stop us!" she exclaimed. If I had stopped foi rain, would have missed lots o1 things she said snilingly Looked Like "Washout"
 So the trip was made. Heavy fog shrouded Mendenhall Valley al the motor wound it's way up Gla- cier Highway toward the glacier The visit looked like a "washout' to the Governor, who began to have visions of facing a situation without any reasonable alibi.
 But the Weather Gods were in a kindly mood. As they neared the glacier, the clouds lifted. the fog rolled back like curtain, and the stage was set with a magnificent view of the ice field. And Mrs Wilbur felt well-rewarded for her refusal to let unfavorable weather conditions disarrange her schedule
 Others Stayed Aboard
 The party was the only one aboard the Aleutian to make the Glacier Tour. It will proceed to Seward, Anchorage, Mckinley Ma tional Park, Fairbanks, make the Circle Tour over Steese Highway and return to the coast via Rich- ardson Highway to Chitina and Cordova
 On it's return here, MT. Burlew and his son will stop off for week or ten days visit with Gov. Parks while Mrs. Wilbur and Ray, jr. continue to Palo Alto, Cal, where he will enter Stanford University

 Disaster Prevented

 The captain of the Tahiti gave orders for the passengers to take to the lifeboats.
 When help did arrive, the women were first transferred, then the men and finally the members of the crew.
 When all hands were aboard the Ventura, an attempt was made to save the mail in the holds of the Tahiti. Some bags of mails were taken off and transferred to the Ventura and when the ships boats left for second mail cargo. the Tahiti lurched, took one roll, the stern rose in the air, then the steamer disappeared in a boiling white whirlpool.
 There were ITS passengers and 142 members of the crew on the Tahiti and all were rescued.
 The Tahiti lost her propeller and the tail shaft was damaged, leaving the steamer helpless in the tuncartered portion of the South Sea, 500 miles southwest of Cooks Island.

A negro evangelist was preach ing concerning the horrors of cell. In front of him was a cof- fin piled high with flowers. The newspapers had announced that it was to be the funeral of a neighbor. There was no word of praise from the preachers mouth.
 "Breder'n an sistahs," he shouted, "ouah deceased friend heah done committed eve'y sin in de catalog. He wasn't ready when de trumpet ob de angel called him. He was unprepa ed. He was wicked an had to face judgment in hls wickedness."
 At the end of the sermon ev- cry member of the congregation was eager to crowd forward and view the remains" Solemnly they filed past the coffin.
 It was empty. But in the bot tom was a mirror that reflected the face of every ''mourner" who looked in.
