Puzzled

When Bartley Hummer stepped iauntly from the D. m. train at Metropolis. Detective Gene Rawson blinked his eyes with astonishment. He was at the railroad station to prevent Hummer from leaving the city, and here he was, coming in on the Summer special,
 Rawson stopped Pummer just the same.
 They'd like to talk to you over at Headquarters, MT. Hummer" he said.
 Hummer seemed genuinely aston- ished, as we'll as annoyed, Rawson signalled an assistant, who took Plummer to Headquarters, while Rawson interviewed the conductor.
 The conductor knew Plummer well. He said he had boarded his train at 10 a. m. that morning at Ruralia and came all the way through.
 Did he go out with you? Eawson asked.
 Might have taken my train out yesterday afternoon at four-thirty, but I wasn't on that run. Dutton was on-don't know whether he knows Hummer, as he's new to this main line"
 Rawson explained nothing as 10 his questions and hurried 10 Head quarters.
 Hummer, owner of prosperous wholesale sporting goods establish ment was being questioned.
 Shot in Garage
 Sure I knew that Irving Smith was killed" Hummer admitted. and l didn't shed any tears. I hated him. Naturally I read about it in the Morning Metropolis out at Jake's Landing in Ruralia where the coun- try editions for that district arc dropped off"
 He was shot while in his garage at seven last night and you were seen on Prospect street, within block of his home, just before sev- en-" Hummer was told.
 -.s'I read about when he was killed but as for my being seen on Pros pect Street at seven, that's baloney. I was on the train more than half way to Ruralia," Hummer insisted.
 You know Sam Davis?'
 Sure I know him and he knows me"
 He saw you.'
 He's a liar-at least he may think it was me he saw but he couldn't very we'll not if he was in town here at seven last night
 You threatened 10 kill Smith,"
 1I don't remember. l was mad enough when he-you know what l mean"
 "Eloped with the girl you expect ed to marry next day, eh?'
 Hummer reddened. Tt was in all the papers-it's true enough
 Bought Lake Camp
 They questioned Hummer great deal more while checking up by tel ephone. Jake Worthing out at Eu- ralia said that he saw Hummer com ing from the little station when the thirty train from Metropolis stop ped. Hummer put up at his place, bought some lake front camp proper ty from him next morning as he had arranged to do and took the ten o'clock train back next morning.
 Everything tallied.
 And yet Irving Smith had been shot in his garage at seven the night before. He staggered to the house, nauttered. "Plummer" and died, Sam Davis said he saw Hummer within q block of the Smith home just be- fore seven.
 It was puzzle

CHAMBER OPENS 1880 DRIVE FOR FUNDS, MEMBERS
Sets 5000 as Years Goal Watson Assumes
 Presidency

Announcement of the opening ot the 193O Membership and Financial drive, beginning today, was made at the regular weekly meeting Of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today. H. G. Watson, recently elected President of the organiza- ton. presided at the meeting.
 Due to the fact that many busi- ress men are engaged in annual stock taking, to the holiday season and cold weather, the attendance was smaller than usual. The ap- pcintment of committees for the year was deferred another week by MT. Watson.
 Asks for Cooperation
 President Watson, in accepting the position, pledged his best eff forts to the work of the Chamber. He asked for himself and his asso- ciates on the Board of Directors, the support and fullest cooperation of the members. The mark set last year by President H. L.

Wash, with a degree of Bachelor of Arts and later took the degree of Master of Arts from the same in- stitution, both in Educational Ad- ministration.
 Since taking up the teaching pro- fession, MT. Keller has done con- siderable advanced work toward a Doctors Degree in Columbia Uni versity, New York City.
 Not Politically Minded Not politically minded, MT. Keller has held aloof from both city and Territorial politics in his residence in Alaska. Last Spring, when the matter of selecting a Commissioner of Education for Alaska was before the Territorial Board of Education, and a fight was being wage d against Commissioner l.. D. Hen derson, he was applicant for the ap- pointment, but only in case MT. Henderson was eliminated for con- sideration for the position. It was reliably reported then that he could have obtained the appointment had he been willing to enter the fight in opposition to the latter.s
 Discussing his candidacy at this time, MT. Keller said he was enter ing the race independent of any political organization or faction be cause of my firm belief that the best interests of the Alaska school system demands that it's executive office be kept entirely free from partisan politics"
 Patronage Vs. Efficiency
 It has been the experience in every State that the schools suffer when the administrative head of the system becomes a political fig ure. It is inevitable that patronage will creep in, and political expedien- icy become a factor to such an ex- tent that administrative qualifica- tions and educational experience and efficiency lose weight. Under such conditions the tendency would be for the school system to. become a cog in some political machine, Its sole function of offering Alaskan youth the best possible educational advantages would then naturally be affected by the necessity of having to exert itself to keep some party or faction in political supremacy.

 There was little business trans acted today, A report from the Transportation Committee said that it found by investigation that it was not possible to obtain permission for Skagway residents to use Ca- madam steamers for travel between American ports.

 Goal Set at S5,000
 The Champer mas set It's finan- cial goal for this year at $5,000. Last year, it raised S5,200 Its membership for 1929 was 238, the largest on record.
