SIX WIT N SSES TELL OF BUYING FEDERAL AGENTS
Give Immense Amount of Money to Protect
 Liquor Running
HUBBARD GO-BETWEEN;
 TRIBUTE IS COLLECTED
Lyle, Corwiin and Whitney Benefited by Illicit
 Contributions

SEATTLE, Aug. 28.-Six Govern ment witnesses yesterday told of paying immense sums of money to A. L. Hubbard for Federal protec- ton.
 With two excetpions, the witness es were sometime connected with Roy Olmsteds liquoring.
 The witnesses testified that Hub- bard said the money was for Lyle. Whitney and Corwin. Bryant and Mckinney, also defendants in the present conspiracy and graft trial, were not specifically named.
 Prosper Graignic, of Cordova, AL aska, member of the first Olmsted ring, told of the organization and its agreement with Hubbard to work under the protection system. He said no trouble was encountered in running liquor from Canada until after the Woodmont Beach raid.
 Graignic and George Keerns were the Olmsted d ring bookkeepers. Keerns also gave similar testimony to that of Graignic.
 Chris Curtis said he paid Hub- bard $8,405 for his own protection and several thousand dollars for the Grays Harbor ring protection.
 Frank White, agent from Chica- go, said he helped Hubbard unload liquor on Whidby Island and com- plained to Whitney about not ar- resting rum runners at that time but Whitney told him: This case is a small one. Bigger lots of whiskey will be brought into Se- attle before the case is over."

MISSING FLYER
 IS LOCATED ON INTERIOR LAKE
Capt. Paddy Burke and Seattle Ma nAre Found
 Safe and Sound
RELIEF PLANE IS NOT
 ABLE TO REACH THEM
Messages Dropped from Air by Searchers-
 Rescue Efforts Today

ATLIN, B. C., Aug. 28.-Capt Paddy" Burke, missing since Aug ust 19 in his Junkers plane, from the base at Atlin, was sighted late yesterday afternoon on a small lake in the wild inland country of the Yukon Territory by Pilot w. A. Joerss and others who accompanied him, in another Junkers plane making search.
 Owing to the inaccessible nature of the small body of water, Joerss was unable to land, but dropped cigarettes, matches and note say ing that Joerss would return alone Thursday (today) and attempt a landing.
 With Pilot Burke is prospector, Samuel J. Clerf, of Seattle.
 Burke and Clerf are not injured and are safe and sound.
 For four hours yesterday, Joerss cruised over the wild area. Little lakes were often mistaken for the glistening sides of Burke's plane. Finally one of the outlooks re- ported fire on a small lake and then Burke and Clerf were sighted on the shore near tent, their plane riding on the lake.
 The lake where Burke was forced down is between high cliffs. It is barely 500 yards long which is not sufficient for a take-off with a load. How he managed to make a safe descent on such a tiny body of water, remains to be told
 Today Joerss planned to fly light after taking gasoline supplies to Wolf Lake where Burke also main tained cache of gasoline and supplies.
 If Joerss makes landing on the lake where Burke is down it will be a feat of air generalship.
 If Joerss is unable to make a landing he will advise Burke to attempt to get out light. If this is impossible, Burke will be ad- vised to hike with Clerf to Wolf Lake and the plane will be flown out next winter on skis when the ice makes long runway.
 The place where Burke and Clerf are down is 125 miles northeast of TeSlin.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 28.- The Yankee boys" of '6l, or the remnant that is left of them, will make their last salute to General Grant here tomorrow.
 It will be their third reunion at Cincinnati. The first was in 69, the second in '98.
 On the last day of what will in |eyitably be one of the last of the annual encampments of the Grand Army of the Republic the veterans, who arrived here August 24, will board river steamers for a short trip to Point Pleasant, Ohio, where they will be greeted at the old Grant homestead by Lieut.. Col. U. IS. Grant III, grandson of tho General.
 There the encampment will end with solemn tribute to their for mer leader, around what will un- doubtedly be the last camp fire for many of them.
 Three, four, maybe five more en- campments may still be held the veterans estimated, not more.
 Only bare handful of these sil- ver-haired Yankees remain, but these insisted upon the encamp- rient being held at Cincinnati this year so that they might once more camp near the home site of their leader. who was born near here.
 The penalty of years, the veter- ans indicate, will not dim the patri- otic spirit of the blue-clad warriors as they pass down the streets in what G. A. R. leaders expect will be the final parade and review.
 Nicholas Longworth, Speaker of tte National House of Representa- tives and Congressman from Gin cinati is Honorary Chairman of the national encampment. He well coned the veterans and Edwin J. Foster, Commander -in- Chief of the G. A. R., responded.

Germany stands at the threshold of government by permanent dic- tatorship, declared Attorney Gen. eral John Rustgard in a brief and highly interesting talk made today to the Juneau Chamber of Con- merce. He returned earlier this week from a vacation with Mrs. Rustgard, spent in Norway, Den mark, sweden, Germany and France.
 It is almost a general conviction in Germany that parliamentary in- stitutions cannot succeed there At this time the country in under a temporary dictatorship pending an- other general parliamentary election to be held next month.
 Communists May Control

In that position he is a dictator with power to make ne- cessary laws. This appointment is limited to three months.
 The election of new parliament is scheduled for September. It is not impossible that the Commu- nists will win the election, having enough members to control parlia- ment. In that event, there is feel ing in Germany that permanent dictatorship will be established and
