Long Skirts to Stay,
Say Paris Designers

PARIS, Jan. 27.-A big often
sive in the long skirt war began
today with the launching Of the
first spring styles in Paris. Every
one is asking whether the fashion
dictators will settle the long skirt
and fitted silhouette questions by
notifications.
Advance assurances from some
Of the grand couturiers are to
the effect that skirts will be both
long and short. However, no
hope is offered for knee freedom,
because Paris is expected to re-
fuse to check the downward flow
of the fashionable skirt and insist
on hiding knees under at least
five inches of skirt hem.

Attorney Fitts Op- poses New Trial-Will
 Take Issue to Court

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 29.-- District Attorney Buron Fitts said he will immediately seek rehear- ing on the Appellate Courts de- cision ordering a new trial for Alexander Pantages, Greek immi- grant who ran stake made in the Alaska gold fields to more than S15 100000 and was convicted of a criminal assault on Eunice Prip- gle, young coed dancer on August g, 1929.
 District Attorney Fitts said he deemed it his duty to seek re- hearing and if he was refused a rehearing he will ask the State Supreme Court. He said he had carefully read the opinion of the Appellate Court granting Pantages another chance and had consulted the heads of the departments of his office The Appellate Court reversed the Superior Courts action refusing a new trial.
 Pantages was sentenced from one to 50 years in San Quentin Prison
 District Attorney Fitts declared that the Appellate Courts decision has wiped out all that has been done since Pantages was arrested after Miss Pringle ran screaming from the "cubby hole office" of the theatre magnate in a downtown building, and lodged a charge against him.
 Pitts said speedy retrial will be given Pantages if his petition for a rehearing before the Appellate Court on it's order for a new trial and for a hearing before the State Supreme Court are both denied. Pantages' attorney said he would have new evidence that he was not able to present at the first trial.

ELMER J. WHITE,
 JUNEAU EDITOR,
 TAKEN BY DEATH
End Comes Peacefully to
 Publisher of Stroll ler's Weekly

Elmer J. White, pioneer Alaskan, editor of Stroller's Weekly, died at his home in Juneau at ' o'clock yesterday morning, aged Il years. His demise was due to recurrent ei- fects of a stroke of apoplexy which he first suffered last June. At the deathbed were Mrs. White and the attendant nurse. His end was peaceful. He was conscious to the last. When he closed his eyes, with out tremor or pain, the eternal sleep that fell upon him seemed like casual, restful slumber.
 The remains are at the Charles w. Carter Mortuary. Funeral ar engagements will not be made until after the arrival here next Thurs day of Albert H. White, a son, from Ohio.
 Alaska Suffers Loss
 In the death of MT White Alas ka loses a representative, progress sive citizen; Juneau, an enterpris- ing, loveable resident. He began his career in the North in 1898 as a member of the staff of the Skagway News. Later, he went to Dawson to accept a position on the Nugget, and from the Stroller's Column of that newspaper he took the pseudonym by by which he was known to his familiars. Subsequent ly, he moved to Whitehorse, where he purchased the Star, which for several years he published and edited with notable success. Then he came to Douglas and bought the Douglas Island News. He maintained it either as owner or lessor until the abandonment of mining and milling operations at Douglas, when he transferred the printing plant to this city, changing the name of the publication to Stroller's Weekly Before coming to Alaska he was a newspaper man in Washington state and Flor ida. His birthplace was near Cambridge, O.
 LOveable Character
 Mr., Whites newspaper activities reflected his character. He was earnest in the advocacy of right and the condemnation of wrong. But in censuring the offense, he never lost compassion for the of fender. He was untiring in efforts to promote community welfare. His support was easily enlisted in any worthy cause. He responded quick ly and unostentatiously to every appeal for help. He was a facile writer, endowed wi h education, wide experience and sound judg- ment. Withal, he was blessed with gift of humor. Many of his good natured witticisms and quaint drol- leries constitute notable contrl- buttons to Northern journalism. F Prominent In Politics
 In addition to newspaper activi- ties, MT. White gave some atten- tion to politics. He was a Demo- crat. Fair in partisanship, he always

Was Guiding Genius

| was ouiuthS oChAuS
 Daniel Guggenheim was the guid- ing genius in the creation of some of the largest enterprises in the history of this country. Important among these was the American Smelling and Refining Company, one of the worlds largest produc- CTS of metals.
 The Guggenheim enterprises and interests not only extended over a wide field in the United States, but penetrated into Alaska, Mexico, South America, Asia and Africa.
 After many active years, MT. Guggenheim gradually withdrew from business until he had no official connection with it, having transferred most of his responsi- bilities to his son, Harry F. Gug- genheim.
 During his active business car eer, MT. Guggenheim gave much in philanthrophies After his re- tirement he devoted himself to dis pensing generously of his wealth in that direction, as well as in the promotion of aeronautics.
 Philanthropic Activities The elimination of his philan- thropic activities was the forma- tion in January, 1924, of the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Founda- tion created by himself, his wife and their children. The founda- tion was heavily endowed and it's charter stated it's purpose to be "the promotion, through charitable and benevolent activities, of the well-being of mankind throughout the world"
 MT. Guggenheim's faith in the future prompted him in June, 1925, to contribute $500,00O to establish school of aeronautics in the Col lege of Engineering of New York University. It was his belief that aviation could be made real pub ! lie utility rendering vital service to the nations business and econ- omic welfare as well as to its defense.
 i Ground for the school hardly had been broken when in January 1926, he emphasized his belief ir the importance of aviation by es- tablishing the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the promotion of aero nautics. He made available $2,- I5O0,000 for the use of the fund With his son Harry F. Guggen- helm as President, the trustees oi the fund included men of national distinction in aviation, engineering law and business.
 Finance Air Tour
 Late in 1926 the fund financed a country wide tour of the North Pole -airplane of Commander Rich ard E. Byrd for the purpose oi focusing attention on the develop ment of aircraft and the need oi municipal airports. For the same
